the romance of stolen beethoven. or subconsciously was. the. biggest composer of all time i can't begin to imagine. this one player selling music teacher discovering. without. this week w. a clean pristine. at the crack of dawn does this picture for ben did work for me or to you if yes we feel proud in feet for becoming known in viewer because we knew this story was in our very 1st episode broadcast nearly 2 years ago you know.

some of them are good and to be happy to welcome you to the 100 of india we want to have a look back at some of our favorite stories and change me and without a doubt. one such. successfully revived polluted link in her neighborhood let's look back at how she did it. moving. like. it took. about 10 years to rescue and revive a neighborhood leak in the south of bangalore. it was not actually a choice because. from my balcony i could see the sleek and it didn't at all know clegg wanted to see. today it was

a dying me and i felt that. levi and loudly to die before my eyes then i am popular spawn to my life. with the help of neighbors and the larger community radical cullen urged the civic authorities to invest in the revival of put in a wholly. new they agreed on the condition that its maintenance would be up to its citizens. in 2010 rajagopal and pooled in money to form a lake improvement trust with like minded citizens and experimented with innovation based on simple science. they used discarded b.v.c. types to create a number of artificial floating islands. we did our own research on how to improve the quality of the walk done to be zoned in on this principle of

hydroponics very you have people growing money planting bottles of water basically the job being the nutrients from the water so we extended that into making this what we call the artificial floating islands. these islands i made up of plastic bottles that have several species of bio food to plants growing in them. of these plants absorb pollutants like excess nitrogen and phosphorus that enter the lake along with sewage. if they do remain in the water it leads to an overgrowth of vegetation that eventually deplete the oxygen by 6 feet and say we have nothing in the field because this is. only 6 months after introducing the islands. noticed a significant improvement in the condition of the lake. but.

you didn't even need to test the water to see that that the quality was improving because we could see the big bad you can see fish and the birds were coming there and it was absolutely delightful. bangalow has had leaks since the 8th century. they were built when the city was founded because it lacked a perennial and received low rainfall. in fact remain the primary source of water for early bangalore eons but as the city grew and biped water was brought in the lakes lost the attention they once received. but now citizens groups like radical pollens are trying to restart the discourse and revive the former glory of that city's beautiful lakes.

we are constantly having these programs all to bring the community together to this lake to make them understand that this lake is important not only that it is recharging the water all the trees are given and seeing the green color and the people can see a difference and he'd love to come here on the time but it is no freebies you have to contribute something to. put out a good palin continues to ensure that her community works to keep the lake alive. bringing back a leak to life in. our reporter caught up with him to find out if anything has changed in the 2 years and working some will to meet and to continue the crusade. it's on a 0 again so does was the biggest reaction to the just the mission of it. ever since your story came out he started getting calls from a grass in different parts of india after there was somebody

over there were some. of the dish so it's very exciting because now people like being busy there's an extraordinary about me and my friends. they might not even do it and for all i know it will be much better so when you say their lives in bangalore are deceiving more attention what is been happening in bellew's at the handlebar i'm not sure of the number he's it's essentially. and we have how do good relations links i now that we are actually we want to go down a document on how who are rejuvenating elise and what about how to meet the need to . be active participation our people and that. i think elise whatever leaks are the number leaves that still left. but what are your plans

for the future. i will then we give you a lot more so there uselessly libel nasa i mean the leak now i see potential for a lot more birds and. i think i've been very happy. so i. will soon. again. and how you were judged my. only. that will be well worth it because what we have also been telling the other generation is that they lead belongs to you so you need to take it forward you cannot or is japan not wild to people but here it is a community that. and i think that's the way i would like to thank you so much for your time. success story definitely shows us how much

a community can achieve together that can also be said for our next favorite story from germany where a group of climate pioneers once decided we want to show the world that 100 percent warbles possible and guess what today we produce even more energy than me. it's all there in nature we don't need to take any energy from fossil sources on the ground plenty is given to us every day we just have to make use of it. milled consecrate produces 8 times as much electricity as its 2600 residents can use all that electricity isn't produced in one big plant paterniti centralized fashion and it's then made available to others fire the grid.

delegations from the places around the world marked by flags who have come to inspect this revolutionary village. they usually. he's been married for 23 years and has been involved in the shift to renewables from the start. the villagers have invested 50000000 euros over the past 2 decades in 300 photovoltaics systems 9 wind turbines as well as several hydroelectric and combined heat and power plants. we want to show that it is possible to create a regional circular economy for energy production and energy use the consumer of course it has to make economic sense. another father of the green revolution of paul street is from dillon.

he's a farmer who started experimenting with renewable energy and the 1990 s. . he soon won over his fellow villagers and set up a wind farm co-operative. knew that anyone who lives in the community where a windmill is located can invest the more people join the lower the amount each may invest it's currently 5000 euros and no more. i know has set up for bio gas plants on his farm they now heat the entire village he designed some of the components himself the energy sources are all local animal waste from 20 nearby farms. they replace 700000 liters of heating oil a year. with the right mix it won't be hard to attain 100 percent renewables many people don't believe that but it's true the

amount of clean energy we produce in a village pot sleet could also be generated in other communities districts and states. the number one cause of the. energy generation is one key factor to others are energy storage and developing an intelligent grid so power can be moved to where it's needed. the zalman company until ports failed addresses both these issues it makes lithium ion phosphate batteries which in combination with solar panels enables households to become largely energy independent. it also manages an electricity sharing system so on and community. private power sharing could perhaps one day make the large utility companies and their huge power plants redundant. one small village

amber varia could inspire other people across germany and in other countries. examples like bees are proof that change is not only possible but it's important now i would like to bring you back story especially close to my heart or your reporting about the women farmers in the way that what engine of western. land from the end says still farm land things women will revolutionary and now during the pandemic they're probably the best family dog. the women of bobbie village in eastern maharashtra are singing songs of prayer for a good harvest and weeding out the bad luck they've had to face in the last decade . ago in the region of. bobby is one of the

harshest places in india to be a farm crop failure severe groundwater depletion food insecurity and uncertain cash flow are widespread problems it's drought prone districts are seeing an increasing number of farmers who cite every year. despair and hope of guaranteed returns had forced. me to concentrate on cash crops like sugar cane and so have been the money he earned was always ploughed back into the farm for the next season this meant there was very little to feed his family. his wife was determined to break the cycle. when a man works on the farm it's only things about money what they want and the big decisions that need to be taken this is it but a woman support is very different she thinks about the home and the needs of her

family the food and the money that's required to survive well when they get her. 3 years ago she insisted that her husband set aside one acre of farmland to grow fruit vegetables and greens to meet the food needs of the family not only that she insisted that the land be legally transferred to her name for a woman to make such a demand was not only rare but revolutionary. in india 83 percent of farm land is inherited and owned by male members of the family while women inherit and on less than 2 percent. that many men have always had to work as farm laborers 70 percent of the men farmers today do all the work in the not as decision makers but as helpers. it's funny i know that now that i'm

a little i. could overheads the local wing of so i am should shown a women's empowerment organization that has helped many women assert themselves. but i'm quite a lot. of. other person. who the idea to empower women came after a startling revolution in 2009 many of them were severely malnourished. i mean. an event he conducted a medical camp to test the level of him a little being in the vehemence and he realized that it was very you know. that made about one of the very men present it said that in rural families women traditionally serve the men 1st and then. what is left and sometimes it's nothing at all i do. not have that camera has i'm not.

so the one acre model of women led and climate resilient farming also helps ensure women eat better. so i'm sure trains women farmers to preserve seeds and grow 35 different types of nutrient rich vegetables grains and tubers on their patch of land using organic farming techniques that minimise water use this reduces their reliance on store bought produce. the one acre model has improved our general status not only within her family but also within the community. actually we need to prove our worked to ourselves if you want our families to believe in our ability now that i am

successful my family consults me about every major decision that needs to be taken . with us. in the drought prone maroc for a village and more than 41000 women farmers now practiced the one acre. but the fight for women's rights is far from over. in a deeply patriarchal society only 10 percent of women or of one acre farm as are china and the now do. women farmers have been silly and built into them even many talk to them about big problems like the devastating effects of the changing climate undaunted over the last 2 years spoken a lot about climate change and driving temperatures as an equal india you must have experienced the fluctuating extreme weather patterns to

a city in space and now come up with solutions to tackle it and there are replicable across europe and india. cradles between lush ills and the mediterranean sea boss alona is a spain's 2nd biggest city by 2030 the city council's urban ecologists are looking to create an additional $160.00 hectares of green spaces that's one square meter per resident as well. it's a very ambitious plan that will take a lot of effort but local residents will benefit from these green spaces which will also help absorb pollutants and regulate temperatures that have been. a turning point that is much needed during recent decades barcelona's average temperature has risen by more than 2 degrees celcius. smaller projects include planting certain flowers around the base of trees to protect them from pests providing shade for

others and create a network of green spots throughout the city. a key player in the strategy to ease the effects of climate change will be an increase in the number of vertical gardens and the fountains of rooftops there were once a place where neighbors would meet to dry their clothes and have a chat for one better novel martine they are a game changer. but there look at the government they get in a tussle but buzz along as infrastructure is already built so it would be hard for us to fit in new god in this now we're. going out terraces rooftops and facades are some of the only opportunities that are left for us as a city. but the city authorities are choosing plants that are extremely heat resistant and only need a little water that ideally is provided by rainwater collected in tanks the new greenspace can reduce the heat on the roof by up to 50 percent cooling down the

apartments below and reducing the need for air conditioning as well as heating. at this local school the children have been eagerly taking care of the new trees and the terrace garden and they've developed a real crisp back to full nature. that. you need to take care of plants because they also have feelings and thoughts. you shouldn't kill plants because it just doesn't well it just doesn't make sense this is the problem they taught me about the different types of plants. and how you need to take care of them. for having a lot of fun here it's little wonder with a so much to explore and the extra bonus of harvesting fresh food with no travel miles attached which is good for air quality. barcelona is a clearly

a city in transition soon it may no longer be necessary to climb the hills if you want to get some fresh air and enjoy the beauty of nature. this is about creating resilient spaces that can cope with the disruption that climate change is causing green spaces both private and public ones are really important and that's why we need to commit to policymaking that ensures the green areas in the city increase. if. you think of him and. bringing nature to barcelona is a huge undertaking but it will encourage plant and animal species to make the city center their home. sitting around the world barcelona by a lot of time money and effort when it comes to their development rural populations

on the other hand often get a raw deal the next story i want to bring back is one. of our community of traditional camel herders refusing to give up on it's all joined lightly what i was finding. alternatives and one just but. this region is india's largest solidly and home of the kind i cam of. their diet includes various plants shrubs and mangroves. the old mild hardy as the heart of that called out traditional pastoralist believe on the camels using them for transport or by selling them. but today those livelihood is threatened the once thriving mangrove forests are fast disappearing giving way to thought dance for big manufacturers.

the man groups are much closer to us earlier use a tick tick a moose or to greece and be back within an hour and there were many wanted out on about 30 on the megas about but now we need to go 6 to 7 kilometers deep into the desert to look for the grazing ground either by the united i'm going to read about them now with or limited on that i don't but a song for direction and processing is trying or to my groves. sort of what i am going to. do that i was going to. in 2011 with the help of a local ngo the camel herders organize themselves into the catch. to fight for their rights over the years they have filed a case in the national dream tribunal a special court that deals with the cases related to and via mental issues to disallow salt manufacturers from operating in the region and ensure better implementation of the conservation plan of the highly threatened.

in 2013 together with the ngo they came up with an idea to secure their livelihood . for years they only used family wolf for their own needs to make feed rests while riding camels are bags for their belongings taking this practice beyond the image it community could not only give them a new mode of livelihood but also help conserve the carrier. is a matter of pride. and it is in relief and shared for this one doesn't require any sort of. let a lot of chemical dying process that is already available in maybe a few and there is a possibility of getting a very beautiful product out of this. this one who has. the engineer come here has been helping the holders of catch to set up. assembly

line process the gammas are sheared once a year just before the region's harsh summer season occur a camel produces about 300 grams to 5 kilograms of wool by year depending on its age that's enough to provide a viable source of income to the camel herders. the women are spending the shared will in the whole community is involved in the processing of shearing the wool spinning began and weaving the cannot. today there are only $6000.00 carry camels in the couch dejan but with the camel herders taking a big step towards reinventing their traditional craft and fighting against the father spread of the salt industry a sustainable future for both the camels and their herders might be possible. adaptability has begun by will acquire to me by so many communities who stand in

the frontline of our fast changing climate hopefully we reminded you of some stories that you like next week we'll be back with the topics that is what you think and write to us at equal india added up in daughter got until then stay safe and they good care of yourself but i.

plays down the danger even as climate scientists. plus the returns for a new season reigning champions. but no fans watching from the stands after a last minute call to keep the stadium empty. welcome israel reimposing a full nationwide lockdown with authorities there saying it's the only way to slow soaring corona virus infections the measures will severely restrict movement for 3 weeks they come in fact as israel marks the jewish new year and several other religious holidays but critics fear the lockdown will hit an economy already battered by the closures the 1st time around. correspondent in jerusalem

tanya kramer says there is some unease in israel but the government's handling of the situation and with the sobering reality of having to face a 2nd national lockdown well on the one hand people do understand that you know with infection rates skyrocket rocketing and in the last weeks or month or so that something needs to be done but this lockdown this nationwide looked deeply unpopular people see more of the failure in the government and a lot of people are unhappy about the handling of this crisis by the government lot of zigzagging and decision making a lot of different interests coming into play the coalition not working well but there are concerns by different groups here it's basically the religious communities are very concerned about construction when it comes to pray it's not over the jewish high holidays or you know in gatherings of people congress are

together at the same time business owners you know they're hard to recovered from the last lockdown they're very worried but also ordinary people i mean parents you know schools are closed they have to take care of their children they can't then go to work i mean people can relate to this i think all over the world at the same time people are very much reminded also that this is almost like the 1st looked on it was also over a jewish holiday of passover at the time and the main question here would people have is that what kind of exit strategy will there be this time because it might last 3 weeks it might be even extended but what will come afterwards that's the main question of people do. kramer in jerusalem. the united nations has backed closer monitoring rights violations in exiled opposition leaders. had demanded the government end violence against protesters she called for an international mission to document atrocities committed since

a disputed election last month hardline president alexander has threatened to close the national borders insisting foreign powers are behind the protest movement. correspondent nick connelly joins us now from minsk. this frontline it took enough sky spoke via video link at the un human rights council and called for more engagement from the international community to resolve her country's crisis what was the reaction. the fact that. government and its allies russia and china to close down these kind of discussions in international forums like the un. now being treated as the legitimate representative one of the country. to be expected. but i think that opposition. and.

the government. itself is pretty significant. that came out of. a strange event. that. the opposition was a mix of pop music with. and then unexpectedly this event. something that people here. to be a rhetorical flourish than a real serious statement of intent and now i think people here are seeing it as a threat. is willing to close down these countries. people who thought maybe that

they were these weeks of protests. has most of. the country i think it's about the symbolic gestures of support. of this regime that's already happening. the country beyond that it's not really. but i think people are really glad to see that the west and the rest is following what's going on here but that. anyone watching the situation. that the opposition has essentially been disbanded by alexander with at least at the moment either having fled the country or having been in prison how are

they keeping the momentum going. well when you hear they say that they can put 102100 people in jail but they can't put the 10s of thousands of people in jail. in the jails here and that is when they. happen to someone else will take place. without. horizontally without some kind of. i think the real test will be this week's. demonstrations again sunday more. people staying home. being silent and will be coming out again for. protests. very dynamic situation in minsk thank you so much now. let's highlight some other

bundesliga. few experts can see a champion this season that doesn't start with fire and end in munich. as a side note to months of it although i think it certainly distinguishes the team that when they have great success they want to prove themselves 1st and no matter what the squad looks like ultimately it's always a duty for byron munich in the end to become champions my sense of. the player and squad will look different in the new season. gone are midfielder filipe. and forward even in paris it both played back up rules however what will really hurt the loss of midfielder tiago to liverpool but former manchester city forward le roy sunday is now on board so that should ease the pain of bit. it's another season another reason for the rest of the bundesliga to try to break barnes dominance but based on last season not to mention the 7 before byron munich will pick up just
