inspiration in the bible which she takes this really. they are on their way to an abortion clinic to try to persuade women to keep their pregnancies. and jellicoe is like her make up 25 percent off u.s. voters most of them share a central goal to ban abortion. we are kind of the the last stop before that abortion we want to reach them one more time and so that's why we're here it's my duty to do what i can do here to persuade as many people to not have abortions as possible but ultimately that's in god's hands and one day they will have to give an answer to god she and her fellow activists believe donald trump is as committed as they are to banning abortion. abortion is such an important issue in our time and i cannot trust

a president who believes that abortion is ok without the right to life we have nothing so if we're taking away anderson life no one has right the right to life is so important and i'm seeing that from him and that's why i will be voting for him politics professor laurel both of them from the university of indianapolis has been analyzing trump's supporters the evangelical vote was critical to donald trump's reelection they've been essential part of his base since he began running in 2016 and even though sometimes the president is wavered on policy issues the evangelicals have never wavered on their support for him there's no generation gap in terms of the evangelical bloc you see this with younger voters obviously with older voters in their support as well and you don't see a difference in terms of age christina studying to be a nurse and her spare time she's already trying to save lives one way talking with people about abortion another way she says is by voting for trump there's

a lot about donald trump that i don't like that i don't agree with but in the areas that he does promote truth and justice i pray that god would bless his administration heavenly father we thank you that you are the author of my prayer office crucial support for her and her friends they are also praying for dollar trump that is reelected to fight with them against abortion. in europe the number of corona virus infections continues to soar including in germany concern is growing about the pandemic could spread even further that's why easily accessible testing facilities are in high demand. 12 meters long and growing. that's the length of today's line at a medical practice in berlin. people have come here to get tested for corona through the window i think it's a really nice option doesn't take so much time and it's made the safer than going

to of hospital and sitting in the close space where patients can be sick but here everything everyone is wearing masks and the just for the window so i think it's really nice that the doctors ability cuts and runs the practice she's bracing herself for a harsh corona winter with many more patients to deal with. any time you want my advice i don't want to be a prophet of doom and gloom but the numbers are clearly going up we all want to prevent another lockdown so we don't want to have to close the schools again somehow we've got to get through this winter. to prepare for what's coming germany wants to set up more testing stations they would receive people running at a high temperature or with other corona symptoms additionally the public health office which tracks infected people was promised more personnel but that has yet to materialize. and the quality issues have pledged to bolster the health authorities

over the next 5 years this requires the creation of 5000 new jobs but now as october and november approach the jobs don't yet exist in the health offices this is a problem that urgently needs to be addressed. but instead of relying solely on germany's health care and tracking system dr cuts down would rather make testing at home possible. you mustn't be moved because it will have to be given the chance to do a test without a doctor to go to the pharmacy and buy a test although they do not guarantee 100 percent accuracy and they provide an excellent indicator and are absolutely adequate from an epidemiological point of view because the swap test involves taking a sample between the nose and mouth it shows the results within 15 minutes without sending the sample to a laboratory in germany though only doctors and pharmacists are allowed to order

them should infection start rising sharply in winter they might be an alternative to long lines in the cold. our last stop is belgium the pandemic has already claimed more than 10000 lives in this european country the story of 10 year old lorenzo who lost his grandfather to the virus reflects the tragedy of every single loss. the world has lost a 1000000 lives. one of them meant the world to 10 year old lorenzo my grandpa was the best his grandpa luke picked him up from school each day where. we made all merch and after that. we just played and couch and just did what we wanted to deal. mostly i got snacks in the but their hometown st trued and was hit early and hard by the coronavirus we had 53

create a space for that a corner of a city park is now a memorial. for the memorial dedication september 13th lorenzo was asked to commemorate his beloved grandfather he told his mom he was too afraid to look at life they were again to laugh at me. but lorenzo changed his mind and wrote a letter. even. your grandpa i miss you very much i am mad about corona mad about what happened you were dead best and always are going to be the best because you think these are yours. that i was brave and i was happy did i did it that way. for all would all out. wish happy. everyone was.

. currently. currently. there.

is a rich agricultural province in central time but. thailand is one of the world's leading rice producers and exporters. than i am. but this is only been possible with the extensive usage of agricultural chemicals be it herbicide pesticides or fertilizer. this has led to

environmental economical and health problems affecting both farmers and consumers. who knew. that my name is some look to sunny i'm 74 years old 60 years ago type people were very healthy our rice was number one in the world back then we never used chemicals to farm but farmers were later misled by agro chemical advertisement and started i was saying that by you and that saddam had a lot of heart yeah out. of the 18000000 rice farmers in thailand so mark is among the few who refuses to use chemicals involving. he has his simple and interesting way of growing chemical free rice. in the fields in the mid ninety's the population of apples now's exploded but i can't up my wife was

secretly using pesticides i didn't agree and bought my ducks instead of a bed. these are some looks a.v.'s. it was. very existence can be of tremendous benefit to mankind and the. environment. the only. one. they are. between natives and cocky campbell ducks. the natives breed gives them a strong immune system and the cocky campbell breed means they can let you lots of

eggs. if you child is determined by their gender. these were checking the gender of the ducklings. there's a hot spot in the rear end of male ducklings and only ex-pats can feed. thank male ducklings isolde to keep the price and will be arranged for me. females are more expensive and will be raised. thanks. letting doubts raised in both closed environments and free range in the fields thanks.

need me how i won't talk to doc's. almost 3 months. today so now he's visiting the doc farm to reserve 3000 female docs he'll pick them up when they're 5 months old which is the perfect age for training. so look is discussing the new school year of the academy with his son and wife. it's a family business which needs all hands on deck. the

previous class of duck academy has retired and this is a boarding academy. and his helpers are preparing the dormitory for his new group of students. i need to put in a poem for the ride. just tie it to that wouldn't post the road she got here. the most necessary feature of this academy is the school bus. designed it himself using his 20 years of experience in transporting ducks. he has 7 levels and can carry up to 3000 ducks what makes it different from other trucks the adjustable ramps which enable ducks to move up and down each level by themselves.

today it's a big day. so he's going back to the docks to recruit his 1st group of students i need i'm making up 99 docs today how about i want to test out the storm. and let the dogs get used to that i think. i. got some now 5 months so.

my time docs. have got 99 is a lucky number of people. but in today's friday which time people believe is an almost specious day. friday is the best day of the week to hold a ceremony according to tradition. i. have now i come. let's go. home come on hurry up. i.

got. i. i oh great i know i get a few smaller ones too but these are all a nice healthy sign. tends to train the 1st group of ducks to be the leaders of the big group that will come later i doubt it's too long familiar but they'll soon find their way around and put their arms. back and forth exploring the. terror of the present leading the way out cracking loudly she could make a good leader on. the

docks go up. to use the ramps to get up to the top level. i'm teaching them how to get on and off the truck they're still having trouble with their corners or not they'll learn eventually to use both levels. the flow for. the time i picked up the docks and lucky number today i'm getting another 2900.

count them and take them all out. and i want them on to from bubbles when you. go out by themselves all. no way these are new ducks they won't know how to do that yet. they will. each cost around $3.00. go up soon once already made it stick together docks you don't need to do this every day catch them and then. thank you very.

much. for the 2000 already. 2. i. was. of the. ok to be as officially open.

of the company as 3 simple lessons. from. lesson one boarding the truck. even this lesson 3000. 700. more than an hour is past.

the 1st time they've ever done it at. any one and eventually. teach themselves. takes his 3000 students to feed in the rice field every day. normally you have to pay around $200.00 u.s.

dollars per day to feed them. taking them to the field is 4 times cheaper. he takes them to his own fields as well as to his neighbors. i. they finally arrive at the destination thank you. both meat canteen and the playground the wait. but the students must 1st learn the 2nd lesson. lesson to getting off the truck. $3000.00 to get off the truck within 15 minutes. thank you. thank you.

thank. you. getting off the truck might be simple for students in the lower levels yeah yeah bring me the stick i'm no level fast. but is not a simple for those on the upper decks i. close the ramp 1st all the back up that's going to. chase them down to. that. i so know has to use the emergency slide on the 1st day i. like skydiving i haven't got all.

i. want to thank to use the adjustable able to move down by them so i just need more time. to grains on which the ducks are equally feeding those of spinach rice from the last growing season. the ducks get rid of these grains and prevent them from growing and mixing with next season's cool. prepping the field is only one of the many duties the ducks have to help someone grow his rice. and yet there's always spillage at least one or 2 bucky farms paragraph.

i. so much students enjoy the field for around 8 hours. collecting the ducks from the field is the cabin is most difficult 2. lesson 3. obeying the whistle. has to return to the truck at the sound of the whistle.

however. getting 3000 students to stop playing these new easy terms. is easy to recognize and tells them it's time to get her out to the field. but it takes months of training. i mean i use my voice and i caught a cold my voice wouldn't work properly but the whistle always sounds the same. some people call me crazy yeah blowing my whistle like i'm a soldier that banks don't understand. what i do. i just do things my way.

because so much stuff so female. they lay eggs which will give him a regular income. thanks. in the equivalent of their teens. they enjoy having fun. and certainly even take it a step further. ringback

their performance is improving day by day. and the 1st day it took nearly 2 hours to get them out of the truck it was chaos. and maybe they've improved a lot they've learned to use the ramps and better going around the corner i.

thank god i need to be gentle when you're training animals you can't shout at them or be aggressive they have feelings. but it's their instinct to eat all day and one when they go into the field thanks start searching with for something to eat straightaway look their own time snails. and i doubt if there's no food in one spot they move to another there. is no stopping. i the field grazing of ducks says chile these for. wisdom that was brought to thailand over 100 years ago. are currently there are around $10000000.00 in the field grazing ducks in the country. takes his dogs home every day but most field grazing dock owners take up to feed in different rice wheat and let

the ducks sleep out about. ducks between provinces. field grazing duck owners raise them for meat and eggs. to raise ducks. for use of chemicals. some of it has around 40 acres of rice fields. this is a newly planted plot. i'm check out all the rice plots. these ones are about 14 days old. i'm also checking. because i don't use chemical pesticides on my you know they normally come out to feed in the mornings indeed or in light rain or plants sprouting after 2 days if it ran short and after that the snails

will eat everything like little lawnmowers have to take extra care until the rice is a month. golden apple snails were imported as a food source from japan and taiwan. however they brit did with native snails resulting in apple snails which quickly spread and became the worst enemy for young rice plants this is one of the main reasons for the increase in agriculture call use. chemical usage in farming started in thailand around 50 years ago it was the result of the post world war 2 the revolution. it couldn't have been thought of that there were several changes one of them was the introduction of new types of rice the native varieties are abandoned in favor of the new ones that have a higher yield and shorter stocks or they require the use of chemical fertilizers

and insecticides. that there has been a drastic increase in our group chemical imports in 2000 piece dean thailand imported around 80000 tonnes but recently this amount has increased by well over 100 percent to almost 200000 tons. have gotten. off towards carry out regular studies an occupational diseases and they show that a 3rd of thai farmers have abnormally high levels of chemicals in a blog. or may have no i oppose the use of chemical pesticides in addition to snails the substances and kill eels fish and crabs the downtown on the right way. grazing his ducks in other people's fields has potential dangers. the really needs

to be extra careful about how i ask people if they use chemicals i have fields i need to know in advance because if they've recently spray their fields the chemicals could harm the docks. badly i just harvested the rice. there's a lot of spillage for ducks. now there are some show me. when you pass by the fields. you call the police a few days ago right now the owner always does it himself. but. to get a look there are snail shells birds have come here to feed there's lots of rice spillage and there. you go while some ducks ducks are popular among his neighbors

he must check that the field is free of chemicals and that there is enough food for his ducks. for a very snails here. taking the dogs to graze in the neighbor's fields provide mutual benefits. it's a free service to clean up the field well so look stocks get a free meal. we're going. to our was. i i i i. i i thank.

god i talk so much better at getting in and out of the truck now that they have 40 percent faster than i go out on the 1st day. i . i.

thank. when you. come to. my. next ones want to get out to. where you don't need to. move to the left. get a job round of applause.
