can you hear me now yes there is within you in her last years german chancellor we'll bring you i'm going to a man called and you've never heard have before surprised yourself with what is possible who is magical really what is and what also we talked to people who followed her along the way admirers and critics alike now as the world's most powerful woman shaking her legacy join us from eccles last. week has the full effect in our surroundings some consequences of this are beneficial to us and the above between them. but sometimes out in the wrong generation how many of us think about being like the rights we have the nature of

around us has rights to went on this episode really introducing the subject make us a little welcome to equal india a weakling involvement magazine when stories not only for media but across asia and europe and some but i call our 1st report the story of an inspirational comeback. the color indigo has a troubled past in india that i for which right was a me just sort of exploitation in the british raj the colonizers cultivation of indian farmers and the cost of food crops which led to hunger and despair in farm was the beginning of cultivating evidence but a collectible farm wasn't. attempting a sustainable revival of the crop. of.

because hans performs something magical that's how the rich bond describes extracting pigment from an indigo blonde. an external conditions must be perfect it is the only way to get exactly the right shade of indigo the 42 year old says his own mood is critical. seeing his affinity for indigo today it is hard to imagine the detach bond and vision and then different going to be about for himself 15 years ago when he completed his master's degree in geography. suddenly changed after his father's untimely death and an opportunity led him to the station of natural dying with

indigo. it is a physically strenuous process which requires scientific position and artistic ecstatic both of which has none and must. just part of a himalayan movement that is nearing the devival of its nonpolluting natural diet through a sustainable supply chain that has been built around producers like. me is a social enterprise that creates commercial opportunities in textiles and die making . it began using him as a way of connecting the people with the mountain ecosystem years ago. that was. specially. when it was.

by the british government that the farmers had to go in to go as a contractor crop a percentage of their crop had to be nickel and they were given seeds on very high interest rates leading to a lot of starvation debts suicides and so on and so forth looking at that it was it was a tough subject even ventured into the moment that are toward the word indigo i had people just telling me that the hell can i even plonk about what with. mahatma gandhi considered the father of modern india was among foment to lead a revolt against forced indigo cultivation in 1970 this war was the 1st of its kind provide a clear direction for india's freedom struggle culminating 30 years later. on independence from the british coloniser. today and he hopes to transform the idea of the color indigo as one that resonates with

prosperity empowerment and sustainability. 300 who have been creamed and indigo cultivation are growing the dye crop and rotation that food crops using organic farming techniques. this not only increases soil fertility because of indigos nitrogen fixing qualities but also provides much needed additional income for the producers. over the last 3 years davy from des goli village has been planting a small patch of her farmland with indigo together with her paddy crop once a year by 2019 she earned 10000 rupees the plant also keeps wild animals always. bored in i began growing indigo give me because i might it would. if some mad farming rice

for example meant having to kill on a constant yoga for wild pigs monkeys here and other pests are damaging to crawl through what next i've always worried about whether there'd be anything left for me and then my live but it got me before. compared with the synthetic word organic gardening is much costly but also more eco friendly. the crops like the last about 90 days because 10 to 12 days of live and nearly guarantees an income provided the crop isn't damaged by unseasonal rigs or other effects of climate change what began as a small experiment has blossomed into a sustainable and attic and see to scoff indigo when you change that in short autonomy and self-sufficiency production are mainly sold in india but are also exported to countries such as germany japan or the us comment about it beyond through our borders are seen by people around the country

a member degenerate of our hard work and we are really proud of it and i know it feels good to know that people appreciate and. you. ringback with the himalayan indigo project the pigment seems to be bringing in a new kind of. healing the wounds inflicted by the british system yet come on the community and the land is gone. now like many grassroots organizations across india embody the kind of decision making and says determination the notion which was the guiding principle during india's. and bought me. this curious connection and finding solutions for more

and more people and organizations can benefit from it. so these are all movements where people have actually tried to claim that for all my toes that affect our lives we should be the ones who are taking decisions all be central to the decision making we can't leave it to governments and corporations and so on. what i was is actually a very ordered concept in india comes from mentions good joes and then doing the investments movement against the british colonial rule it was spoke to the eyes by

many different movements such as put in since the moment on on kindle and others where the british were trying to fit them fold over our production systems on agriculture and so on. and then on the budget especially in his book ins what i was and then in the movement but what's important is still realize that it's not just about india's independence from colonial rule about a nation's independence. it's actually much more about an individual than a communities hard on me and freedom but in responsibility to other peoples and other communities autonomy and freedom which means it encompasses a deeply ethical we'll being of living it encompasses my self restraint so that i don't impinge on the rights of others to live.

in india the concept of low development has been taken over the state from the west in that. since and we have imposed it all successive governments have been boys did either to state socialism or now increasingly to capitalism means that g.d.p. growth are still happen at any cost which means you can cut down for those who can . bring out over to learn you can do anything you can displace millions of people in the pursuit of this kind of their will upon cunt fortunately in modernized development we seem to think of ourselves as apart from nature we have to figure out how we are actually part of the reason sort ourselves understand that other species have their own right to exist that everything around us has has a spirit of being or a is in is is something in itself which needs to be respected. for the last 40 years what i've seen is a lot of communities in india and other parts of the world that are actually

practicing in some senses different notions of what arch for instance women farmers in different parts of the country claiming for so we're going to be which means complete control over everything to do with food you know the seeds the land the water the knowledge of all movements to reclaim community control order of what it's intended india and other parts of the funding. to build in the notion of swaraj which is a deeply political and economic concept of independence and autonomy as they said but also the responsibility to the rest of nature and so the course what odds but also radical ecological democracy in the sense of trying to rescue the word democracy from its current liberal interpretation where we think elections is about democracy actually democracy is about power of the people we each have within ourselves inherent power to take decisions or be part of decision making many other values that are explicit or implicit in this for instance the value of solidarity

our competition but cooperation the value of working with nature as a promise an artist private property the value of rights of all species the value. living simply because if you if you consume more and more and more you're actually impinging on the rights of other communities or on other species the value of diversity so that i respect your ethics and your ideologies and your beliefs and feeds and you respect mine. you have to fundamentally order the economy in order for people to have much more control over their own productive resources and in order for these sorts of occupations also to gain respect and be something that also encourages young people to get into them rather than everybody running towards ip and machinery and industry and so on.

self-reliance sort of maneuver ties become quite a buzzword in india these days everybody seems to realize that crisis tells us that we have to be self-reliant but the way in which it's being manned and the kind of packages that i mean push that actually pushing people more and more towards commercialization privatization. equals what i'd show many many things happen one is that for instance we make the centralized state a much less important probably even withers away and each of us begins to understand how we can take control over our own lives with as i said responsibility for others as collectives as communities wherever we are.

like our sisco tidy that we have to veg knife the other species and others the whole also have rights and that them value is not doing only by how useful they are to human beings but the winter world drunk's to be is the single can we expect in the string for example to use this as a guiding principle a company in indonesia believes it's possible. here only outskirts of bundling a city on into nice is 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 and are showing others contain medicine allegiance here they are the raw material for an innovative kind of textile.

sort of just. their company micro tech sources that locally what's waste for the witch mel is a recyclable treasure here. first the sawdust is cleaned with steam then it's mixed with tiny mushrooms. they consume the sawdust and at the same time on the outside of the sawdust blocks they produce tightly woven mycelium which can be harvested within a few days. search uses a fraction of the water used in standard lots of production less than 110th. this has caught the attention of. he makes and sells shoes many of course are made of love but these days he's keen to find alternatives. for leather industries 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 cells grow we keep damaging the environment and it came it's a realisation that we need to find a so sustainable solution at 1st he bulked at the notion of mushroom but his team have now learned how to work with it. my slim fabric is breathable flexible under robust it can last for years and it's an eco friendly sustainable product companies around the world are discovering its advantages. my sealy i'm sure you still have a long way to go though not yet widely available they are not yet a mass market product it has there are higher costs because due to the scale meaning. we still produce a limited quantity it's a learning curve but as an innovation company we need to learn and i think the future will be very bright for us. the resin you grow and his team agree

that busy ramping up production they already have orders is far ahead just 2027. truth only we are producing 2000 square feet of my silly matter per year over year when it's really huge so we need to double down our capacity in order to keep up with. the company is growing it used to have just 5 employees now it has 38 models just carefully the quality of it so i would put even testing samples to destruction. new girl and his team still have some way to go but they hope the mushroom lives are alternative is at the least a good step forward. the idea that each one of us is responsible for ourselves our community and i'm buggered it's quite wonderful but in reality this is not an issue because the project in the netherlands that's

good for me and bob meant the people who needed it but some. 60 kilometers from amsterdam on a tourist boat the destination is one that only recently appeared on the map 5 islands in an enclosed sea or lake created out of nothing in 4 years called marco water and. in 1906 the construction of a dam sealed off this portion of the north sea which became like a vast pond with no water inlet so outlet muddy and stagnant america rather was right because of getting rid of the suffocating blanket the slick. we make. i o o roof through with the soil that's causing the problem. one of the islands is now open to the public it has a functioning harbor to several private visiting vessels

a visitor's center a beach and 5 houses that can be rented out for a week visitors are attracted by the remoteness of the place although it's only an hour away from the mainland not 12 monument is one of the dutch n.g.o.s behind the project as soon as the silt and sand was pumped from the bottom of the sea to form 5 roughly shaped mounds the water and wind continue the shaping of the new land at 1st reeds and grasses were planted to retain the scent jeans but soon nature took over covering all with a blanket of flowers and plants at the latest count some 120 species of birds have arrived including geese gulls cormorants and more than 2200 nesting common turns but not everyone is happy with the new arrangement. about 20 kilometers to the north fishermen in the town of book say declaring the area

a nature reserve has deprived them of the whole market man lake in one stroke monica wagner we don't have a problem with the market. we love nature too because we're nature people. but we made all these investments and suddenly we cut our legs we had $450.00 nets and now we can only use 15 percent. of the bird not 5 so then we tried to go outside to the north sea we adapted to boats for that but really they're too small we tried for years to go out there and spring to get back on our feet. on the clock of the one. in the struggle to allocate land and seen in the densely populated netherlands nature has won this time the fish have returned to the market mallaig and for one. that only being hunted by the birds.

and lot of fossett around the world may not be familiar with the work or. boarding interactions or drive to a port and. won't want to bring more diversity to the above mentioned movement across canada so she founded a black. in midtown to find out about the behind her motivation. drives you to campaign what you run if you didn't change the way you live is emotional so called set. deeply positioning yourself quite differently in relation to nature so they identify with us me. and i didn't if i was damage this is something that the western organizations can really take on

into building up these feelings within the population so that it is the power of force in the environment. in 987 that's 33 years ago he and vironment to movement in this country with purely white people and the group of friends including myself we got together you know what this i sit round having dinner talking to each other they say don't we notice actually this no black and i think minorities are you see anywhere in the environmental sector so we thought we should do something about it. and this all the things goes on and on with nothing happening and then something in opportunity

comes it was a european year of the environment and we have applied for small amount of money and got it and that kicked off everything. when i grew up in hong kong as a child and hong kong in those days is not like the glitzy thing it's now known to be it was the day when people will pouring in the cross a border from china because of the unrest that my parents ran out of china so we were very poor my parents came from nothing you know taking nothing with them and all that but nature will stay in the show was such an amazing thing that as a child i was in moods and the chinese so calls have a very deep relation with nature and now a rich in no way of being is very and the mistake so i'll close this of nature is something that's in continuous through my life.

nature is not local is local and global you know you pollute something a blows across the world doesn't stay where it is and actually a lot of our pollution that the moment floats was germany and causes acid rain in the black forest is doing it but you can't change the patterns of nature so these people will very environmentally conscious of the world are more open to working with people of the world and that's it minorities are intrinsically local and global people are constantly in touch with their countries of origin so in a way they have more investment environment 2 themes global themes than anybody else they are connected global people. i hope to be separable has given you enough for port. arthur mission ship with me and bob went to live in. i'll see you again next week until then. good care for you

optimistic that we'll have a very quick and speedy recovery will get you the very latest from our correspondent in washington. on why our thank you so much for your company everyone in the white house says president donald trump is experiencing mild covert 900 symptoms that's after the shock announcement that president donald trump and 1st lady maligne have tested positive for the corona virus while the president's diagnosis was revealed hours after it became known that his top aide hopes has contracted the virus or she's been traveling all week with the president who was seen on wednesday during caps into a crowd of supporters at a campaign event trump tweeted that he and his wife would quarantine immediately

but his doctor said the president would continue to carry out his duties quote without disruption and the white. chief of staff mark meadows gave her just a few details on trump's condition moments ago well i'm not going to get into any particular treatment that he may or may not have he has mild symptoms as we look at that the doctor will continue to provide expertise. in the residence he's in the residence now and the american people. can rest assured that we have a president that is not only on the job will remain on the job and i'm optimistic that he'll have a very quick and speedy recovery number your mom was there speaking just moments ago well let's cross over now to washington to talk about the fall out of the president a contracting covert 19 with did over his washing correspondence define see monza

step find that was so we just heard the white house chief of staff saying that president trump is basically doing well has anyone been able to independently verify that. craig and sir no nobody has been able to reverify this or to confirm this where completely the grace of the communications director or the communications staff or the chief of staff of the white house mark meadows as you just heard telling us what is going on as he said and as we have heard the president apparently in good spirits with only mild symptoms. sore throat and a little bit more the target basically and that's it now can we verify this no are we is the press maybe political washington maybe the american people happy about that little trickle of information only you know they're nuts because as we hear from a few people on the streets and have talked to a few people this behind me is the house of the people and the president is

actually hired by the people by all americans to do his job and if he is ill in what way ever american definitely expect a little bit more forthcoming and more information from the white house about how the president is doing well and as you just referenced people are going to want to know if trump can continue his duties as a u.s. president what do we know about his ability to work and in terms of national security is there a danger that this could be exploited. first part of your question there is definitely no knowledge on our part here of the press or in washing or in general terms in the u.s. right now that he is not able to function that he's not able to govern that he's not able to do what he's supposed to do however there are safety precautions slash there is a process of course in place and that if he gets sick and cannot fulfill his do it

any more than the vice president jumps in and assumes the power the powers of the office of the president mike pence and his wife has have tested negative so he is not infected by the covert 19 virus so this is all in place national security you can bet and everybody is pretty sure about this that they will be maybe state sponsored or even states. players who will. try to exploit the situation but you will also be absolutely sure he can be sure that americans and the agencies who deal with this on a regular basis on a daily basis as well as the national security council is a aware of this and b. take precautions and measures to protect americans protect the government and to make this keep this from not happening of course and i conclusion as to find the terms covert diagnose is the ends the campaign how challenging will this

development be for his challenger joe biden. yeah absolutely right actually this goes balls weight rise not a one way street the trump campaign at the moment is i would guess what assume from what we hear is in chaos right now and in 10 years and they have to really figure out what's going on and how they actually. tweak and spin this message now their chief the commander in chief the president of the united states and the person who is up for reelection and who downplayed covert 1000 over a month and did not wear a mask and was very jovial about this is sick with it now his challenger joe biden by the way he gets also tested for covert 19 of course since he had the debate last tuesday with the president for him and for the democratic party and campaign it's a challenge now to adjust how they react how they will go forward in challenging mr trump so yeah not

a one way street both campaigns have their work cut out for the next few days and weeks the debris what washington correspondent stefan single is reporting thank you and a stuff on there reference president trump has long been dismissive of the coronavirus and the percussions his own experts have recommended here's how he reacted to the greatest public health challenge in decades. from initial optimism in february looks like by april you know in theory when it gets a little warmer it miraculously goes away hope that's true to a number up to about face in march. today i am officially declaring a national emergency us president donald trump has gone to extremes in his public attitude toward the coronavirus he's always saw a silver lining even as the death toll skyrocketed america will again and soon be open for business very soon we cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself

we're not going to let the cure be worse than the problem in the start seeing some related the end of the tunnel but this is going to be a very painful. very very painful 2 weeks that trump soon turned a medical problem into a political issue forcing the public to choose between him and the experts when government scientists recommended wearing masks he scoffed at the idea is the one myself it's a recommendation they recommended. but i don't see it for myself i just i just maybe i'll change my mind he didn't change his mind but as the pandemic refused to go away miraculously he mused in public about rather unorthodox treatments supposing we hit somebody with a tremendous whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful late when i said supposing it were the light inside the body can which you can do either through the skin or. in some other way right and then i see the disinfectant but not

in a minute. by june as testing ramped up along with case numbers he seems exasperated if you don't test you don't have any cases that we stepped us they were at now would have very few cases if any. and he started marking the virus making racist jokes and blaming the pandemic on china. it's a disease without question has more names than any disease an issue i can name. comes lou i can i write the different versions of day he says with the election looming he doubled down on mocking masks even during the presidential debate i don't have i don't wear mess like him every time you see he's got a mask he could be speaking 200 feet away from him he shows up with the biggest mask i've ever seen that attitude held up until the last minute at this rally in

minnesota on wednesday trump threw souvenirs barehanded into a packed audience where few wore masks it remains to be seen how seriously trump's diehard supporters will now take the virus that has put their hero into quarantine and they will say to you and german chance on america has been meeting with fellow e.u. hands of state in brussels she began in a video news conference by sending her best wishes to the u.s. leader. when adama tell ladies and gentlemen we have just concluded very comprehensive discussions but before i brief you on that i'd like to take the opportunity to wish the u.s. resident donald trump and his wife melania all the best in their recovery from call that 90. 2 to the nation but again these include the unseen it is important to me to reiterate from this podium my wishes for their speedy recovery in these. and that was the german chancellor angela merkel was speaking earlier in brussels while

i was so e.u. summit unsurprisingly overshadowed by president trump's diagnosis but leaders also discuss the growing tensions between greece and turkey over mineral extraction in the mediterranean they stopped short of taking action against onkar but they did agree on one breakthrough imposing sanctions on crisis hit by the us 40 members of the regime are being targeted but not hard line president alexander lukashenko. these are the people of the e.u. leaders might have had in mind when their nouns there break 3 protesters under streets of bel-air rooms demonstrating against an election that many believe for strict does these are the fact that we were able to decide on these sanctions is an important signal because in my opinion is strengthened those who are working hard called the freedom of speech the right to demonstrate and for transparency in bel-air ruse and the law was i in that one of the smallest e.u. countries cyprus had opposed sanctions against belarus because of

a separate issue since all you member say is have to agree when it comes to foreign policy sanctions were deadlocked so far cyprus said it would only agree if the e.u. also sanctions turkey because it's drilling for oil and gas in a part of the military and see that cyprus and greece consider it their territory for now your leaders decided not to impose sanctions on turkey but this seems to have convinced cyprus by issuing a warning if ankara continues to stick to sanctions are still on the table the greek prime minister is now hoping that long stalled political talks between greece and turkey can we see you love our property push going to be many grays is absolutely satisfied by the conclusions of the summit and we are looking forward to the resumption as soon as possible of the exploratory talks to which both sides have to commit it to the viewer murder in the us that's where his foreign ministry
