are already up a go went on how leno dived to get his head on a crossing pass christopher and was the one who sent in the near perfect cross leipsic went on to win for a nail shocker on a club record run of 19 games with out a win. here up to date now i get every news that marion evan steen thanks for watching. today don't miss our highlights w. program on line d.w. dot com highlights. with him how to be good goes on to as well lions how you know if i had known that there would be that small i never would have gone on a trip you know i would not have put myself and my parents in that danger to the vote of 60 minutes to get a flavor with. that one of the ability to give them i had serious problems on

a personal level and i was unable to live there which i'm going to. you want to know their story in full really great story finding interim i will information for margaret's. germany is celebrating its 30th anniversary of reunification in 190 west germany and east germany reunited to become one nation what was it like join us and shift today to take a virtual journey through time. this is what the berlin wall look like and unbreachable stone obstacle on the close god dividing the city for most citizens of the g.d. are leaving the country for west germany was not possible you had to go. to extreme

lengths to flee like digging underground tunnels using virtual reality it's now possible to experience what it was like when people try to escape and one from khosla got to experience what it was like for his grandfather who dug a tunnel underneath the berlin wall. this man in this picture is also measured from clothes that he's my grandfather and in this picture you see him building a tunnel under the burden wall using of your goggles and on coast and social historian and at that period of time traveling back to the year 964 for the you choose show virtually history. i can see in his eye that he has a plan. just a few years now but younger is this weird it's like pretty much travelin in time in $164.00 close michael vaughan koestler and some friends dug a tunnel from west berlin to eastbourne and they wanted to help people to the

g.d.r. it took them 6 months of digging and secrets to complete until you can experience the tunnel in virtual space 12 meters deep 145 meters long the young tunnel builder from back then is now a pensioner when close michael vaughan coarsely sees the virtual video of the berlin wall and tunnel it brings back memories from lighting 64. this. way an exhausting. especially on the knees are always covered in scratches and then to move or. sometimes we had to lie during the day or in constant fear of the tunnel lapsing part this often pop through the spite of the risks the plan works out $57.00 men women and children were able to flee using the term which is a place in the history books. and the famous story was the mother in family 6 going

through a house that stood directly at the parent this could also be relived on you tube was virtually history. timing it offers virtual boosters exploring east berlin when it was still part of the g.d.r. the bus passes by buildings that no longer exists today which is interesting to locals. travelling through checkpoint charlie the border crossing point between east and west is particularly interesting. i think the most frequently asked question is actually where is the wall. and it's of course an enormous responsibility to present and to make this experience relive a ball. but it's also a chance to encourage people to think about what they are like them and what lessons we can learn from. them and also it's an impressive images today it really

does look very different. is a scholar of cultural studies at university in berlin and king's college in london she looks at the ways in which we are can make history more vivid we ask how effective technologies like virtual reality truly are in bringing history back to life i think these formats work really well and considering how they are becoming more common for personal use it makes sense to use them for educational purposes but it's important to have people there for support and supervision. that's at a disadvantage is that virtual reality is designed to completely envelop and recreate an intensely emotional situation. this can quickly taking on a position that can be quite problematic especially in historical. is a very emotional experience perhaps it's too emotional of an experience to be used to teach history objectively luckily there's another way to time travel games in

the adventure game the berlin wall players have flee the g.d.r. the developers of the game hope that it can help educate young people about what life was like in the to tell a tarion state now when exactly was this wall that's probably the most frequently asked tourist question. a are can out without. suddenly the spike complete with border patrols tanks and watchtowers. using augmented reality technology. displays that virtually on your smartphone or tablet. you can even jump through the decades and see how the border. was transformed from a barbed wire fence into a concrete wall this. is the most fascinating moment for me is when you put your phone aside and you still have this lingering impression that the objects are still

there and that is connecting history to reality in a way that's impossible to do with a book or a movie. the berlin wall was located just a 10 minute walk from our studio here obviously test the b.f. already it's pretty interesting but i'm not fully convinced yet even though it provides spatial imagination of the walls border during a different historical period i'm sticking with photographs of course there's more to the g.d.r. than the wall citizens don't like having their lives reduced to that if you would like to take a more personal look at everyday life in the g.d.r. the project open memory box might be for you a german argentinian filmmaker and a. political scientists got together to archive and digitalize home movies recorded from legend 47 to 990 and now publicly available it's their contribution to a more comprehensive understanding of life and the g.d.r. . life in the g.d.r.

8 millimeter film personal memories spending 4 decades 7 years ago lawrence befalls and alberto herskovitz made an appeal in the newspaper for 8 millimeter films shot during the g.d.r. they never thought that they would be able to collect more than $2200.00 rolls. 415 hours of film have now been digitalized been archived and published on the open memory box website you can filter your search if it date or let yourself drift through the. selection terms like freedom hobby or yellow goosey 2 2nd film snippets repeatedly recombined randomly. and these 2 seconds are losing many stories and so that's something that digital technology allows. if you look at the clips one after the other it changes. and it's a little bit different. has a different effect i just wondered if you. just

sent. these or videos that people innocently shot for themselves or their family. and that's the big difference compared to our behavior today of course. we also film our surroundings our children all the food we and the places we travel to. but the difference is that we're also always aware that we might post or share these videos. whereas this material on the other hand was never intended to be shared widely. but falls and ask if it's visited the people who need or films or a. appeared in the videos. they were then asked to come and. sometimes at night i would dream of going to west been to see what it was love. open memory box a more personal and unique glimpse of life in the g.d.r.

and what's offered in history books what a great project but for some memories of live in the g.d.r. less pleasant the ministry of state security or stasi spied on its own citizens when it became apparent that the g.d.r. was ending they tore up the stasi records but not completely 600000000 scraps of paper were left. now artificial intelligence can help to reassemble them. the computer is doing this puzzle using the sky and fragments of. 600000000 little pieces are stored in the archives and then you fraction of them have been digitalized it would take centuries for humans to complete this puzzle and that's why the puzzle was invented. and. size of the fragments was a very special challenge there was for example and. which was torn into

a 143 pieces and the e. puzzler was able to handle this challenge really. is the creator of the. setting machine vision at the institute for engineering design in berlin since the eighty's it's a technology that enables computers to recognize and identify objects even without a template. vision is necessary because there are many visual processes where human beings are unable to. mission like medical actually images for example of. machines are more effective than humans in processing large amounts of the. pieces and complex shapes like the tool that. does the software. each piece memorizing content paper type these classic.

self learning algorithms reassembles those thesis that have been identified as belonging to gether. pilots. 23 bags filled with people scratch was the 1st they had to be digitized that soaring 700000 little pieces. was able to reassemble. even though the software was working the scan it turned out to lack the necessary precision. that would enable greater precision but they couldn't get the necessary. even though they no longer scanning. technology is being used around the world today a program very similar to the president has been used to put fragments back together that we've destroyed like these from the 1900. community center. or these books and documents from the cologne city which collapsed in 2000.

there are still thousands of bags full of shredded secrets in the stasi documents archives waiting for a machine to put them back together again finding the right puzzle piece from 600000000 little pieces it's impressive what i can do to me projects like v.r. time right make history more tangible i also remember more details what do you think which project impressed you the most and what time period would you like to travel back to. on facebook or d w dot com and don't forget to have a look at our you tube channel where there's a lot more on via. that's it for today thank you.

week's episode of africa will report comes from western africa to be more precise from ghana but fost let's take a look at other stories coming up over the next. we look to help conservationists. great. also see how people. are rebuilding their lives devastated last year. and how some african artist. we've. inoculating see sounds weird doesn't it but with this method farmers can minimize the use of even organic fertilizer it is one of the several new eco friendly techniques that film was in northern uganda and learning from mohamed and he's the train has explained the complex science in simple terms small for the farmers who

called taken up the courses say they will have improved significantly. here in the northwestern part of ghana mainly cultivate soybeans. out in the fields to care for full hectares of land. 4 years ago fertility parts in a training session for sustainable agriculture since then have cropped a profit have increased. in. addition to farming shares recently established and 2nd business she sells traditional textiles in the communities around her village to linger. i used to have 2 or 3 backspace pussies i started using the north koreans it's 7 to 8 bags. and after that she learned how to inoculate seeds during

a training session conducted by the local company green e f today the farmers engine jody cool also taking part. in the met that is simple the seeds are stirred together with water and sugar before dried grizzle bianchi had bacteria added bacteria keep past the way each cow pct must be more just. once dried the inoculated seeds must be sown at precise distances to one another thanks to this method the farmers no longer have to use chemical pesticides. more than 500 farmers have been trained by the company so far no harm is the chief came up with the idea for the training sessions he actually studied business but soon switched to agricultural philosophy. his team instructs the farmers and how to run their farms in more sustainable ways such as by using the plant cremains for compost or

bio coal the fabrics of kidnap plants for example i especially well suited to enriching depleted soils. projects and then a war so how produced by you which is very good soil. properties like so i don't want to hoard it by sitting and it's really different also pollution so i was at a point i mean it had would have been made out like. i use that door to do that. most farmers in ghana used chemical fertilizers and pesticides which has worsened the quality of the soil this gave eco printer such a reason to search full turn it serves the farmers can even test the make up of the soil if needed samples that then sent to the company's own lab. although the training sessions for the small scale farmers are free the sole analysis comes between one and 30 euros depending on what exactly is being tested for farmers it's

worth it because they learn exactly what this soil needs improvement the use of a 6 if you know that maze is preventing leeching of some of these excesses underground what about the runoff into surface whatever these core simple machine since they are the source of what that form and the mass and i don't even understand since having his soul tested pharma just shut conlan really uses fertilizers anymore before the analysis he found exclusively soybeans but now that changed. in the 3 years ago when i started self testing with and. i produced their commend it to me and then my results doubled i got 70 bucks more. from us i always got on the fold and this has helped me to be able to acquire. a farm tractor which is helping my

production. just short conlin expanded from small to medium scale likely culture for the really cool isn't quite there yet but she's well on her way. from ghana we crossed the continent to kenya to check out a project that is full of bots well somebody anyway a conservation organization has made it eats nishan to fight for the survival of one species in particular that. that's right sandra like so many of our feathered friends crowned cranes i would risk due to habitat loss and poaching now a community based ngo is informing the farmers children and others about the importance of protecting these majestic creatures. wherever the currents go george newman is not far behind he leaves nearly called bull site in central kenya

the local conservator hist is passionate about birds and founded the cranes conservation volunteers organization he regularly visits their habitats to monitor their activities. i need to be with him if we see this crazy allow is an indicator that can help heal the rift you know and also that calls for protection that we have something here that these groups and not just koreans can attest to that the area is home to the largest population of gray crowned cranes in the whole country over the years grain populations have suffered a major decline as a result of human related activities like trampling of chicks by dr stock poaching from it both local and commercial level and collection of eggs but the cranes also disturb the farmers living around the lake which will be how we. get the winter

garden to us you know how did we can exist with the corn cranes on our farm the very destructive when we plant crops they take the seeds you get 200 more you know immediately and without so much you're like the plants they peel and eat him too they eat from the who farm. how did they needed only 2 or more that. reducing conflicts between humans and wildlife is the main work of georgia dome. and his team mates regularly with farmers the conservationist explains that cranes also have a positive impact on the crops as they eat worms which normally destroy the young plants when have it's time approaches then carried them to got their funds to protect their crops even convinced porches to become volunteers on his team. you know when i fish at the lake i take care of the crew and cranes in accordance

with the government regulations you go on go. on are you girl but you are. what are you the birds attract tourists and when they come here they have to develop the area and create masteries for school children. thought or could be. so much. why not do it. volunteer conservationist also visit schools in the region twice a month this time he's at the market wrecker primary school where 3 children received this masteries all together $32.00 best stories have been provided by the development fund the lake also became a protected area last year the queen's breeder to show from july to february just before the breeding period starts the quince conservation volunteers try to coordinate with farmers to democrats important breeding areas by the lake sometimes

community to cooperate in other times the time because when. we tell them to exclude the livestock during the great season and during the dry season they're faster i would say the lake it is minimal so that's a lead them to bring their cattle describes how those judged works tirelessly to mediate with locals and keep the area protected for the benefit of the great quantity grains and the local population who will benefit from the growing eco tourism. you know they are really amazing it's terrible the risk of dying out because of the loss of their habitat we see it's important to preserve natural habitats and a logical balance in tanzania a non-governmental organisation is trying to do just that let's meet the people on the archipelago.

are seen is in high demand it's used in food pharmaceuticals and industrial products and it's one of sam's of ours biggest exports but it's under threat it employs over 25000 people 80 percent of those are women. rising ocean temperatures brought on by climate change are making it harder for farmers to maintain their sea repeals that's driving them to use unsustainable practices damaging the fragile marine habitats on which their livelihoods depend. have been behaving the wheat farming has been getting me down recently very little see wheat growers and we're making less money than before. but when farmed well seaweed can boost ocean health by improving water quality and providing a habitat for fish. the nature conservancy is an ngo that provides training for

farmers unsustainable practices be amos to increase while helping the marine ecosystem and the women who depend on it. it includes planting seaweed on ropes so it grows at the best depth to maximize nutrient intake. the project will select some of the farmers to become mentors to others unable in coastal communities to help themselves become more resilient to climate change. and how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send us a tweet. tag doing your bit. we share your story. now about a very. project to encourage people to adopt best practices. different

approach to getting his message across a south african port an artist wants his extraordinary sculptures to help protect the environment his works made from animal bones and his spiritual philosophy. to do all you care to prevent harm to nature. this is unusual and it also has a message. 78 year old south african sculptor professor and poet pretty can truly has created $45.00 bones cultures called the exhibition. sweeney in the local zulu language translated into english this means return to the source. for the artist things have never seemed more urgent. we have to prepare ourselves for more. simply because we have disrespected nature we have

around nature with plastic always sleeps. with kerry we have introduced the issues of. where people have to hunt in their own countries to just kill them tough for them to get their heads to him in their own. houses so the whole issues of create the issues of. the other ones that have really led us to where we are now and yet is that other people pull the absent everybody else tells us about how we must. balance critical and truly has been working for more than 40 years with material he scavengers from scrap yards. with bare bones that he collects from nature reserves. coronavirus restrictions mean the public has not yet been able to visit his artworks but every sculpture can

be viewed online together with supplementary. recorded especially for each piece. because for a long time with. additional. space. and particular he had. thought and the auto industry even how we speak. and how speaks to worst. critic and julie is also a traditional healer. before working on the bones he speaks to the dead animals to appease the spirits. here i am a sangoma i'm throwing down the bones. in order to divine the state of the nation

the state of the universe the state of our environment the state of our own mental health as to what exactly happens. turns for visitors to decide by themselves whether looking at the sculptures virtually all physically during a plant to or the exhibition through several south african museums should yield for 2021. wow i would definitely take a bet or 2 right after the show but you can't really say we do not respect nature many people see that as a reason why there are more and more disasters one such disaster was. solved in africa in march 1900 causing great suffering and devastation in our next report we need people in the region around zimbabwe's money money national park who are involved in reconstruction and environmental protection in the wake of that storm. 18 year old tackled sewer to vassie his home but it remains status stated she was

here when cyclon eat i tore through this in march 2019. several of her friends were killed in the disaster over 200 houses were destroyed even now tech could sue i can barely come to terms with the power of the storm. this blessing i see. a wonderful place they were lots of things. but. in a little moment everything was buoyant. if i also caused a series of landslides in the nearby tree money money national park. to money money is home to 200 different species of bird. so there are a cypher chorale he has been working for nature conservation organization bird life zimbabwe here since 2013 now reconstruction is also on his list of tasks.

if i read or restoration is something key now we have seen what is happening around the world with deliberate set up which must be monumentally which is this is the ideal city area and. it's an area that also needs restoration as well. so that. development will not also continue to be degraded. the environmentalist and his organization are active in 6 villages. in one of the tree nurseries villages like john janji have joined together with others to grow me trees we sit down there's a community to really build tate our our area by branding is. different in the species so we started by choosing. some. of weatherboard needs so that we nest them in while i miss that.

sucker rye is worried that invasive plants species might take root and spread in the areas destroyed by either by. native plants would be of much more use to the environment and the people here. their model is an inch to a new species of trees was there used to already be local condition this. and also the rain before i mean that in the used to save the these trees have to be replanted to increase their winter but it's. john john she has prepared life's advice into practice in a zone garden. alongside his millis and maize crops he now also keeps a fruit or change. they never have. to realize that an orchard is one of the many sources of income generation for me. when i was 4 i started this i used to only grow maize and vegetables. that i later

grew to appreciate the orchard. different trees not rush the soil and i'm spoilt for choice. because a some fruit trees are growing others are already bearing fruit. somewhere that i gotta. janji sells his priests in neighboring villages and that ensures him an income even during the coronavirus crisis. to the recife worker ryan is happy with the orchards abandoned because it's also important for the whole area . but if you're different or shows we also supply food to many organisms which is where it's safe. insect populations will also ravaged by side i most of the 50 beehives here were destroyed. traditionally farmers here hollowed out tree trunks to service hinds. now

bird life zimbabwe is helping them to make the hives out of timber wood as a way of protecting the remaining tree stocks. we have fruit trees in the village to go in and spread the pollen and this is good for our harvests because eventually we'll have more fruit and when people realize that there are of bees in this area they won't chop the trees down because they're frightened of bees also provide some form of security. $600.00 hives are planned the environmentalists believe that if people have a sufficient source of income they will be more likely to protect the environment. i wish everybody there all the best in meeting such great challenges they will certainly help nature along but it's incredible how nature can regenerate with or without human assistance yes you need near to sometimes about really take for

example an abandoned military base in the czech republic who just on the back into a regional grassland habitant humans did help it a bit but important difference lots have bieber was because the next as best got in us see how that was. scenes right out of history when buffalo tourist cattle and wild horses frightened throughout europe a small number of those species have returned to thrive in the wild grazing on this former soviet military base in the czech republic because the area was becoming overwhelmed by invasive plants conservationists here in mill of it said the european wildlife project 5 years ago to deploy the large herbivores. to the goal was to return to the original diversity modeled. after the military left the invasive grasses and bushes began to grow here. they started to gradually

overwhelm the rare species such as rare flowers and animals linked to them including butterflies which. the project has seen a bio type name think european serengeti all manner of rare and threatened species have returned like the adonis blue butterfly last spotted hair in 1967 the red cross or star gentian is also taking brita. a resoundingly success for the environmentalists but to flourish the european serengeti needed animals chosen according to very special criteria. he is the combination of wild horses european bison and taurus. the horses eat the grasses. the bison on the taurus focus more on the bushes. so that combination gives the best result she's got it to them and that is they create

a diverse landscape which is disappearing in europe. where the tourist cattle have come from a netherlands back breeding program which aims at coming close to the original or ups the buffalo and wild horses come from european nature reserves in this nature reserve the animals on. lottos the year round and have begun to breed. if we give nature of chance charles if we give it time and space it can take care of many things. by that i mean it is capable of returning species that already disappeared and that they are able to return spontaneously it's about as a child of the very beginning i thought that lots of species that used to be here in the 1990 s. would have to be returned here artificially today a number of them have returned already without us having done anything to help. you to stop. the project began with 40 hectares of land now it's grown to 8 times that

an area quit went to more than $300.00 soccer pitches the european wildlife project is also just being given the sustainable development goals award for climate protection for creating a european salmon get a. bison buffalo rare flowers and butterflies wonderful they all feel right at home there we need to help from friends nature can prove to be so resilient we hope you think so yes this week's edition of. focusing on and next a course of action efforts will be more exciting stories for you next week until that it is a good but for me son drug here in kampala uganda. by sandra and by everybody thank you for watching if you would like to stay in touch in the meantime this doesn't our social media platforms i am now at i signing off
