a lot of young people in uganda have no formal work. the country has one of the youngest and fastest growing populations in africa especially in uganda people are not prepared to work together to present themselves to ask critical questions to find their own solutions on answers and we are learning that unseen are and that's why often not everybody will become an entrepreneur but many of our scholars as well that have been so you know have found jobs one of the solutions lead to come power with plastic waste it's a huge problem. $350000.00 tons of trash accumulates in the ugandan capital every year and only half of it is disposed of. much of the plastic lands of this trash dump recycling isn't coming here. john merrick has been met pays young trash collectors together bottles that he can then use to build houses.

agreements the words a simple the concern is the agreements are of course those set on climate change in paris in 2015 the fridays for future protests have turned into a worldwide movement of people young and old calling for governments and individuals to get a handle on global warming it is they say our shared responsibility to act something one community in northern finland has taken to heart. this is northern the baltic coast after hitting the sauna nothing beats a quick dip in the cold river. very refreshing when you share in the water you really feel like a part of nature we love going on.

said to me we live right in the middle of nature. we can enjoy the woods to pick berries and go hunting. it's important for us that we can grow our own food here and that we have the forest and access to nature in general. terms name is eeg spells but i suggest a simple and straightforward as the town itself a few roads to supermarkets and just under $10000.00 inhabitants nice is considered one of europe's greenest communities the town has managed to reduce its c o 2 emissions by 80 percent. come out of the sea in energy has become clear to us that climate change is not on the way it's already here. in humanity and we've understood that it's not just the big players that have to make the change by us thank you we have to be a part of the change as well because you. made. the key to their success

is being creating incentives so that everybody does their part in finland stay cares in schools children are taught how to protect the climbers. like lucky i guess it all began with a 5050 project we tried it out in 3 schools the children monitor the water and electricity use and get paid half of what they've saved the school and those who tell the ts then they can buy something with the money the project was so successful that it was expanded to all the schools and daycare centers in. that. in the past 10 years residents in the pub reduced their energy consumption by half and the children of used the money saved to buy toys plants even a pool table. so should come out. those are carrots. they're ready now.

the town of be surrounded by on spoiled nature as well as some of europe's largest peat bogs for centuries piece was burned here as a source of energy but there are also vast reservoirs of c o 2 protecting them keeps that c o 2 out of the atmosphere. business manuva old coal is from easy he bought large tracts of the nearby people and made them protected areas. we can only change if every person in every family does their part whatever they can doing large and small things is what we need to help fight climate change a sea of the 70. some of scandinavia has told us wind turbines are located in the nonrenewable energy heating all of the pollutes the air for example has been banned in relies on its own wind and water and produces 10 times more green energy than the town needs and he earns 4000000 euros a year selling its leftover electricity. semantics we've had many discussions about

when the energy about the noise for example and the blight on the countryside and how when turbines disrupt community life just those of the. 60 new wind turbines are being planned for construction around the outer edge of primeval forest not one tree has been felt here in the last 100 years. you won't be able to conceal the wind turbines the 300 metres high and set up only a few 100 metres from the spot. it's a common goal to protect nature and. we need the wind power but we also need to protect the surrounding areas. so the male model it's like a puzzle in the end we have to put all of the pieces together to find the best compromise. on. protecting the climate is indeed a massive puzzle what impact on a little town has been such a global problem the big one according to the people of. for one thing they can set

a good example what works for remote corner finland just might work for the rest of the world too. that's all from us a global 3000 this week as always we do love to have you'll see what's on the program drop us a line level 3000 at any job and don't forget twitter on facebook change any women see you saying take a. look .

a bought. 50 w. news alive from birth that a devastating milestone in the united states the coronavirus pandemic a claims of more than 200000 american lives the highest death toll in the world what does that mean for the presidential election that in just 2 weeks away also on the show donald trump a lashes out at china at the u.n. a general assembly we want to hold accountable that they should switch but elise

this plague onto the world china the u.s. president blames china for the spread of the coronavirus. and of racing against time in tasmania australian rescuers a try to save scores of pilot whales after they've come around in shallow water. i'm claridge i thought i know welcome to. the show the us the death toll from covert 1000 has passed the grim milestone of more than 200000 people according to johns hopkins university it's the highest a number for any country so far accounting for more than one in 5 coronavirus deaths worldwide the u.s. house of representatives held a moment of silence for the victims led by speaker nancy pelosi rise her moment of silence the remembrance of those more than 200000 americans who have passed away

from the coburg 19 virus. palosi has a blames the deaths on of the disinform ation ends negligence of the white house the president donald trump insists the united states is rounding the corner in the pandemic the high death toll is putting his handling of the coronavirus outbreak in the spotlight as he campaigns for a 2nd term in office well on this a dark day for the u.s. let's speak now it to our correspondent stephanie simons in washington d.c. we are only 6 weeks away from elections in the u.s. what have the presidential candidates promise to do to try to get the coronavirus under control. well the president didn't promise anything now today or yesterday or last week or the week before that the president is busy campaigning saying that he did everything possible and more than that to curb the threats

and the. outcome of this covert 19 pandemic or code 19 infections here in the united states so on part of the president everything is done very very well and he's saved the lives of millions in his mind however the other side of it president the president of the joe biden of course criticizing the president democrats are serious about how the president handled this covert 19 crisis here and say 200000 death. in just doubling the number this number just doubling in 2 or 3 months is a clear sign that the president mishandled this crisis this pandemic in a very very very very large and significant way well in terms of public perception of how this has been handled i know that each of you has been talking to us citizens in denver colorado about what they had to say about today's tragic

landmark of 200000 deaths from cope at 19 let's take a look at all that other from other recalls conquering the world. bank of public health. we have a real leader here. remember the much smaller we think represent a good job. i think that there is that as story on the other side that wants to say how bad he's handled it but nobody knew where nobody knew where it was coming from in the beginning or what it was all about well we have course i just heard the numbers prove otherwise but you see from those interviews that there's a split in perception in the united states do you think this tragic milestone in any way could be a wake up call that could help unite opposing voices in the u.s. on how to actually deal with this pandemic. no i don't think so i think the united states they stayed to be polarized like this i think division in the country in society in between the us the people in the united states will remain on the high

level and will remain on this topic and they all of those who say this is all a hoax actually there is thousands of people coming to rally events and campaign events off donald trump no social distancing no mask wearing or largely no mass wearing and on the other hand you have a lot of people who say like this is unbelievable it really takes only 2 to wear a mask to keep social distancing 6 feet away and do not mingle with a large number of people to actually save thousands of lives there is no i can't foresee any scenario that the united states at the moment will unify after those numbers after today after this milestone passing 200000 to combat this coronavirus pandemic in any other way and the world will certainly be watching and if the coming weeks and months a stephens i'm in washington d.c. thank you very much. amid criticism of his handling of the pandemic our president

trump has lashed out at china claiming it for spreading the virus from he went on the attack in a pre recorded message at the united nations general assembly of the world body marks 75 years since its founding the annual gathering a featured a new format with coronavirus considerations in place. face masks and tight security at u.n. headquarters even though the most distinguished guests joined by video link a precaution to avoid worsening the coronavirus pandemic that has already killed almost 1000000 people worldwide. to a half empty hole of socially distance u.n. ambassadors u.n. chief antonio good terra's warned about tensions between the u.s. and china threatening to tear the organization and the world apart of us very quick the 5. 0 market model for the future we're going to watch it because. we were great for action. on trade and financial rules and you don't merit

a lot of usually intelligence capacity. at that logical an economically viable risk you never would use the. military very. worried at all. and the increasingly difficult relationship between the 2 superpowers was on show as soon as president trump's prerecorded statement started rolling. to address the united nations general assembly 75 us leaders said the u.n. should hold beijing accountable for the covert 19 crisis. and trump championed his policy of putting his country's national interests pst. as president i have rejected the failed approaches of the past and i have proudly putting america 1st just as you should be putting your cartoons 1st. with the early

voting for the u.s. presidential elections already underway in some u.s. states trump speech attacking china on trade in the environment was aimed as much at u.s. voters as other world leaders. in contrast russia's president putin and chinese president xi jinping struck an unusually consolatory in that they called for a global response to the coronavirus pandemic and more international cooperation. we should embrace the vision of a community with a shared future we should see each other as members of the same big family because you win win cooperation and not fall into the trap of a clash of civilizations. critics would say china's actions really reflect that stance on the united nations 75th anniversary unity is in short supply. but for more i'm joined from the united nations in new york city a by journalist james james

a trouble pointing the finger at china for the krona virus is nothing new but just how surprising was it to see him use the u.n. as a forum to make these accusations. well like you say it wasn't the pride thing donald trump mentioned china in a negative when it was the pride thing to us here exactly how he did it it was a short speech by trump standards only 7 minutes long and straight at the top in there with the great china virus that everyone is talking about 19 using that phrase it really officially in beijing and so yes it was the extent to which his speech a short one which while mentioning some of the ratio like iran nuclear deal and how he just made. was really largely focused on china and i guess the question is why because here at the united nations china has a veto america has

a veto they can block all significant action here when it comes to for example investigating john or an accountable for supposedly being responsible for the virus and so donald trump a few weeks away from election most likely talking to the crowd and bashing china seem to do quite well with the u.s. elektra and there i'm talking not just about republicans but democrats quite like it. and that regard to tighten the locking horns at the u.n. but in his opening remarks the secretary general antonio warned quote we must do everything in 12 void a new cold war how much do you think china and the u.s. a took that to heart based on she and trump comments. well i mean it's the 3 of the united nations and one can only say that international diplomacy in 2020 is not a great point like mr gutierrez the secretary general of global distrust is maybe

some of its worst levels that we've seen since the u.n. was created in 1945 at the end of the 2nd world war from what donald trump was saying obviously he's going off to china in quite a big way doesn't really care about the repercussions china's president xi jinping he doesn't trash the u.s. directly in his prerecorded address he does make reference to for example the paris climate court of 20. donald trump famously called out of donald trump is also pulling out of the world health organization and the iran nuclear deal i guess that's where leaders like she and president putin of russia the in advantage as the u.s. base kate the position of global leadership maybe they can step in a wave the flag the multilateralism and win some political political point in doing . the right journalist james taranto at the u.n.

in new york thank you. let's take a look now at some other stories making news around the world frightens prime minister boris johnson has called on people to observe new coronavirus restrictions or risk a 2nd a lockdown johnson made at the appeal in a televised address to the nation earlier he announced that england would expand its face mask requirements and introduce a stricter rules on social gatherings. european council president has gone into quarantine after one of his security guards tested positive for cocaine 19 the surprise announcement means that a summit of leaders that was due to begin in 2 days time has now been postponed until october 1st. well thousands have taken to the streets of bulgaria for an independence day march against the government people gathered outside parliament in sofia to demand the resignation of prime minister boyko but himself and his cabinet

they accuse them of corruption and having links to all of arcs. well rescuers in australia are fighting to free nearly $200.00 of pilot whales stranded in shallow water off the island of tasmania to a large pods got stuck on an underwater sandbar an estimated 90 whales have already died but another 25 how have been brought back out into the open ocean and there is hope that the remaining whales can be freed over the next couple of days. extraordinary scenes as almost $300.00 pilot whales peppered the shallow waters of tasmania's west coast. they became beached here on monday on the sand outside mcquarrie harbor it's a location where these mammals often get into difficulty. and when you say large numbers like these it's not surprising they're very social animals and they are

found in large groups also known as pods and force in this case we might have had a misadventure or some individuals may of navigating the wrong way and now they've become stuck in stranded scientists believe up to one 3rd of the pilot whales have already died but rescue efforts to free the rest continue despite the difficult conditions we've got animals spread over a large area in a really challenging location sorry we're going to bicycle the type the animals with the pace change to start with and the ones that we are able to do you eat soy some animals might be simply to be in an on to look like asian to to tactfully deal with. pilot whales a response she's of o.c.i. anecdotal fin they can grow up to 7 metres long and weigh up to 3 tons that makes freeing them even harder beached whales can quickly overheat
