but 1st somber farewell how the pandemic is stamping out brazilian street culture. musicians stopped playing stage curtains fell. and the lights went out in the world's movie theaters the pandemic has been disastrous for the arts across the world with cinemas closed the global film industry alone is set to lose billions in 2020. brazil is among the 3 countries hardest hit by the pandemic with barely any commissions around the artists and musicians many no longer have an income more than $830000.00 jobs in brazil's creative industries are under threat. an important part of life is a risk of disappearing completely. the

teens is a somber sensation his music is full of energy and life. everyone in rio de janeiro knows his hit lindau's them out. by saturday night. back things are quiet in rio these days jwoww still plays his songs but the summer policies have stopped. there's no audience and no applause no one that you can enter into a dialogue with so that they become part of somebody's lives from the crowds when they're just part of the show singing clapping together. to. rio was one of the 1st places in brazil to be hit by the coronavirus it spread rapidly through the poor neighborhoods off of a less. the death toll is continuing to climb those who can stay at home.

normally it would be crowded out here this bar used to hold parties but that's over they're all home now in their own cages. and these cages have only served to deepen brazil's social divide music and dance play a key role in society here bringing people together from all walks of life. there are huge differences in brazilian society but the small bars and the beach are the places where those class differences disappeared the lockdown has meant that people are keeping more to themselves with the intermingling which has always been part of rio has been lost. to their work. the extreme inequality is another reason why the lock down never really worked in rio the city's numerous cultural centers maybe deserted the concert halls bars cinemas and theatres shut but the narrow streets of the old town are full of people who have to go to work. the

emergency aid provided by the state is not enough for artists to live on either instead of rehearsing now goes to the supermarket his wife cooks meals which he then delivers to the delight and surprise of the customers. coming along 110. 1 girl wrote i can't believe it's my teens i just delivered my dinner i wrote back yes he's my husband she said she nearly had a heart attack she's a huge fan of his that's how it goes thanks to him i'm selling more food for. holly and rich she's had also had to find a new way of earning money a street crossing now serves as they stage the red light signals curtain up for the 2 circus artists they then demonstrate a brief glimpse of a skills and hope to get a small donation before their audience drives away. i. love

it when i see the cars i imagine lots of chairs and i'm putting on a show i smile at them even though sometimes i can't see their faces and even though i'm just at the traffic light i imagine that i'm in the circus arena. on a good day this smiles and acrobatics will end in the equivalent of just under 10 euros they could look for more lucrative work but their performances here also service training sessions which they want to keep up with the hope that they can later return to the circus. camp look for a job as waiters for example because that would be bad for our career this is our dream so we keep going is this song a song the carriage and she gave it. a few years ago they fled from venezuela now they fight for survival is continuing here but it's not only artists who are suffering during the pandemic brazilian culture is in crisis mode it's

always been very much a grassroots phenomenon but now faces a threat from the very top. believes the real problem is not the coronavirus itself but brazil's president. since coming to office last year he slashed funding for the arts and made it a political issue it has nothing to do with the brazil that we love the indigenous black brazil with the rich culture that has created so much beauty it's almost like they want to destroy that at all cost and. this is what she was says his country is in the midst of a culture war and the virus has robbed him of his voice his ability to respond effectively using his son but he hopes he can bring his music back to the people of rio soon. just like in the old days. crowded hectic loud. the long held and almost magical appeal 500 cities

worldwide more than a 1000000 residents by 2030 around 7600000000 people are likely to live in an area most of the global population but they could be a change in the air a shift towards a slower pace of life with infection rates on the rise in cities rural regions again and in a pail. the clay is cold and malleable both mother and daughter are skilled in the art of pottery margarita learned it from her grandmother. she said as long as we live here we belong to the soil we work the earth and she gives us the food we need to survive and this clay also comes from the earth we have no roots here this is the most. most. it only takes earth and fire to

create all the new parts and dishes lined up here. it's the rainy season and the weather is unpredictable. what if we get heavy rain now all our work will be lost. the family is almost self-sufficient. they grow almost everything they need or they find it in nature grasshoppers are full of protein. the seasons bring variety and there is seldom much of a surplus. for living in harmony with nature means giving and only taking back a little while there must come we don't need a lot to live we have to respect nature she should only give us what we really need

we shouldn't exploit nature that. the garden offers a little home apothecary. there is an herb for stomach aches a plant that reduces fever one or not and one that really sore eyes. you needed a bit then drip it into your eyes. while people in the city worry how to survive and make ends meet during the pandemic life here goes on much as normal many in the isolated valleys of southwestern mexico live like margarita and her family in a close relationship with the land these people are poor their traditional way of life is tough but their independence and lack of close contact with the modern world might be considered a strength in the current situation. gregorio is about to go and visit her sister and sell her pottery it's an hour's walk that

doesn't bother her but she's not too happy about leaving her animals alone she has a strong bond with them. i think there has to be a balance between people and animals. it's not about dominating them. we have to respect their life. so riva. sister is waiting for her dimitri has been thinking a lot about people animals and the environment especially now during the pandemic she's curious about modern life and the wider world. that raised. me do people out there also feel joy when they see animals run and play they play a lot worse can also do a kind of handstand if you ever see that or when the rules fight or when they play you don't see that either do you. know.

demetrius is shocked to hear how animals live on factory farms him ethic imagine if people had to live like the animals all crammed together how do you feel the idea. dimitri i once visited mexico city she recalls all the concrete cars and trash she says city life changes people just see at the gate like it that everyone rushes about and seems so agitated they don't get any exercise walk anywhere or enjoy the scenery they push a button for everything and ride escalators. have the best let us electric. only meet here on special occasions perhaps once every few months after all hands provide eggs and should not be sacrificed likely and their offspring take time to grow and reach maturity demetrius

sees value in some kinds of progress and says she could use some here but wouldn't a step back to nature be a step forward now. look at that we have to take care of the world around us this is an opportunity to think about things we shouldn't exploited or abused nature so badly. dimitri it is also a potter and business woman she and her neighbors work together today their pottery is being picked up to be taken to the cities and sold me demetrius sr gregorio has a right now to their workers in demand because it's not mass produced but handmade from unnatural material. this is important but we can all learn from their way of life and their way of thinking maybe the world is ready for that now and the need of it. the weather has been kind to

margarita and her family the rain has held off jugs pots bulls all fresh out of the kiln they're decorated with splashes of dye made from oak bark. traditional crafts a remote location harmony with nature a winning recipe perhaps for getting through the current global crisis. and now it's time for national this week from the kenyan capital of. the. world on a nairobi street corner near the busy road winning her snacks. she makes a kenyan version of a kind of bread that originated in india. and. you know

from animal skin and many animals pay with their lives to satiate our desire for it but there are alternatives for our global ideas theories we headed to indonesia to the city of banda east of the capital of jakarta and there we met a young inventor he's found a way to produce leather from mushrooms. here on the outskirts of bandung a city on internees as main island java something is being cultivated that could be of great value. mushrooms. they rarely draw much attention there are many species with many varied properties. some are now rushing others contain medicinal agents here they're the raw material for an innovative kind of textile mushroom is a pretty real to be sustainable future leather you curious cruel mycelium of edge of the part of the fungus that can mimicking perfectly like

a leather without any bjork p.v.c. or any chemical hunting base material. comes from a family of mushroom farmers in 2012 he and some colleagues founded a start up for gourmet mushrooms but they quickly changed tack to focus on my sili i'm committed to developing a sustainable and animal friendly fashion industry. compared to animal either myself or larry is having a really huge advantage in environmental impact for example we can share much less water we don't have to have any walls we can move vertical farming so we can save some space and it's also am it's really last carbon emission. they feed their mushrooms with organic waste such as sawdust. company micro tech sources it locally. what's waste with a wooden mill is a recyclable treasure here. first the sawdust is cleaned

with steam. then it's mixed with tiny mushrooms force. they consume the sawdust and at the same time on the outside of the sawdust blocks they produce tightly woven my sealy him which can be harvested within a few days. the process uses a fraction of the water used in standard leather production less than 110th. the. has caught the attention of london he makes and sells shoes many of course are made of leather but these days he's keen to find alternatives to the leather industry's one of the biggest contributor for carbon emission and we see that as as long as we keep selling for well over footwear and as the sales grow we keep damaging the environment and then it came to a realization that we need to find the so sustainable solution at 1st he baulked at

the notion of mushroom lever that his team have now learned how to work with it. my syrian fabric is breathable flexible and robust it can last for years. and it's an eco friendly sustainable product companies around the world are discovering its advantages. mycelium shoes still have a long way to go they're not yet widely available and not yet a mass market product that has a higher cost because due to the scale meaning that we still produce a limited quantity it's a learning curve but as an innovation company we need to and i think the future will be very bright for us. to grow and his team agree that busy ramping up production they already have orders for us far ahead as 2027.

so currently we are producing 2000 square feet of mysel a matter per year over the demand is really huge so we need to double down our capacity in order to keep up with demand. the company is growing it used to have just 5 employees now it has 30. it monitors carefully the quality of its output even testing samples to destruction. it also breeds its own mushrooms and works on optimizing them for the tuscan hand. it gets some outside funding for its pioneering research that helps sustain the startup. will go the extra mile with his mushroom leather shoes it's a great idea whose time has come. jam packed terrified without food and water long distance transport can be torture for

animals and often they're being taken to the slaughterhouse sort of factness or breeders far from the farms they were raised on. in the. around $3800000.00 animals are transported every day mainly pigs poultry and sheep a total of $1400000000.00 a year some are taken far beyond the borders of the e.u. covering thousands of kilometers and over many days with barely a break. animal rights activists have long demanded an end to life transport now some farmers in switzerland have got one step closer to achieving that. at the most whole family let's book my own son director and look as hostler breed mother callous for raising beef cattle. the mother cows produce larry i'm a near organic done production the offspring are taken off to be slaughtered for

meat when they're 18 months old the transport puts the animals under enormous stress and is unpleasant for the farmers too but that's about to change. the school here. is something we accept it as part of the job. the way of happiness can sometimes be disturbing that we use our own trailer to get them to the slaughter house. so both the environment as soon as they're in the truck in the doors close and they realise i can't get out. can't get back to the others that's when the stress sets and they start acting nervously they move they want to jump out it can be quite a challenge. clarke assistant. live transports a misery for the animals it can take a whole day to collect cattle from the region's more remote areas and get them all to the slaughterhouse an increasing number of farmers don't want to put their

animals through that torture any longer they want to slaughter them on the phone. to switzerland recently legalized the procedure. famine pioneered the process for years now he's had a special permit to shoot his animals in the fields he needs a raised platform to shoot from and a hunting license the cal falls to the ground unconscious stress free. research has shown that if the target animal was not stressed beforehand the rest of the herd don't even notice what happened the stunned count dies soon afterwards when it's bled out. for money on sunday or ever and look as high as low when the hell's to die with a minimum of stress in the future. there is one of 120 swiss farms interested in slaughtering their animals in the field or farm yard.

switzerland legalized and regulated both methods in july. it's unique in all of europe and applies to all farm animals not just cows. to get a better idea of the costs time and effort involved money on and look has commissioned a study by xerox e.t.h. technical university it showed them that animals which are taken by truck to be slaughtered have 6 times more hydrocortisone in their blood than those killed on their home ground. a clear sign of stress which also has an effect on me to quality . also. and i took advice from agronomist early committee of switzerland's f.i.b. l. research institute. they've decided to use a strap. he explains how the cow would be locked inside ready to be stunned but you know usually the cow will go along willingly to be fixed in position

a butcher then stuns it with a bald can. hold. so what will the customers think you're gammick meat and other most whole farm products can be purchased at the market or in the farms and shop. and careful now says the city councilman. i expect consumers to become more sensitive and make consumption to decline. all the direct vendors will increase their market share because they can plausibly show them a comes from ethically reared animals they often can't. help noticing this is displayed in harlem. the e.t.h. study he spoke with $200.00 more school farm customers almost all of him said they would welcome farm yard slaughtering and would pay more for the meat. they've already found a butcher willing to do farm yard slaughtering beef from cows that were born and

die on the same farm is an expensive nice product but only a few years ago that was true of all organic products and now they've become mainstream. that's all from us a global 3000 this week don't forget to send us your feedback we love hearing from you you can reach us at global 3000 w. dot com we're back next week see you then take cat.
