institute's outgoing director, close to tell a man will look at his final year in office and his in press of career. the last cultural diplomat starts nov 16th on d w. a clean and affordable energy responsible consumption and climate action such as some of the 17 sustainable development goals of the united nations member states adopted back in 2015 to me in a bill world for everyone and everything that in on our planet the world aloft and

progress but many communities and course instance are benefiting from projects of idea as to what sustainable development to be when introducing to some of them and the people working to meet that possible. hello, welcome to eco india. some of that i could by april 28th in all religions and india . what it last connected to the national grid, with the hope of receiving electricity for at least a few hours a day. but last minute challenge and implementation have meant that bar 4 who aren't india, don't have access to electricity yet a renewable energy expert. and in a weird turn in west bengal, channeling the abundant all energy available in the region into lands that light up the lives of people who are yet. that

kind of thing shall leave this part of chubby danis david routine. she lives in the forest fringe area of face because barker district, where this leaves grow in abundance. it's a vital source of alternate livelihood for the marginalised indigenous communities of the region. the women use this leads to produce pleats, working until late in the evening. that in and without electricity we can never finish our daily work. it depended on burning logs to make fire, to finish our journalists and the it was a lot of struggle. but i think today, chubby danis, working conditions have changed. hands to her solar lamp, she is able to stitch up to $300.00 plates well into the night. for every 100,

she earns 20 rupees or $23.00 euros cents. now, she makes 3 times that of a previous early disorder lamp called a micro solar dome, is a small device that can be fixed on any type of roof through a government program for remote areas. villages can buy the solar lamp at a subsidized price of $500.00 rupees, roughly 6 euros. so far more than 10000, tribal families across the country have taken the offer in the last year. really oscar de gaulle. no children had the idea having contributed substantially to the solar energy lighting sector. he's also known as a solar man of cool gotta his device as well as being powered by the sun can also be run through conventional electricity sources in villages where the option is available and not

be a reality. you snarky. but yes, people like the project mainly concentrates on indigenous tribes. most of them living close to, or even in forests, villages here are remote and a lack of water resources and scattered every culture and opportunities means they are traditionally deprived into production is working at a grassroots level to promote livelihoods and has been carrying out the groundwork for the micro solar dome project engineer chontosh kumar, mahato is part of the team my during the initial

discussions around the my personal i don't, there were several questions raised. will it really be as effective? they had been a few options earlier and they had 2 incomes quite a bit, of course because of that. but this time we noticed that after a few families installed a microsoft don't the families that didn't manage to collect the amount of 6 euros have now done so. and want to invest the money that the installation for these solar lights is carried out by the communities themselves. it ensures income generation, through general maintenance and the domes back treats need replacing every 2 and a half years. the demand is rising and it's not just for light. the solar system also allows people to charge their mobile phone once at home. in many real areas, people have to walk kilometers, people reaching a charging station. for chubby dani and her family, the solar light has been

a life changer in that they give us solar lamps, thanks to them, were able to work in peace like a man never know where there is cooking or stitching leaves, which has always been my job. i'm able to do them well. now my son is also able to study bergen for us and like children, even even in her village invested in that environmentally friendly light. and none of them has regrets now or renewal, a thumping that can be used without depleting. our resources or damaging the planet, but we can also prevent damage by creating products that are sustainable. and once it can be sustainably disposed of in germany, businesses are starting to move towards the cradle to cradle concept, creating

a complete thought. your economy for every product they create. this means there's nowhere else to left behind. let's see how this is being done. minissha astrid since spends much of her free time thinking about wild plants. her motto is you protect what you know, and she's on a mission to get people to know the wild plants around them better than the lion. and that's why she created the game not to a memo, a memory game that you teaches people of all ages about plant life. and i figure and that's the bit fancy going to really like wild plants to be part of our lives. again, i think in fact i'll even go one step further. i'd also like to see them on our menus because wild plants contain so many important nutrients that are often

missing from the culture of vegetables we eat nowadays. and shred of a nose and these wild plants grow at her house in potsdam, when she also gives cookery classes and teaches that to kindergarten. as someone who values nature, she was determined to have product would be environmentally friendly. she made sure that to a memo was produced to a standard called cradle to cradle the doited as that means that things are produced based on the model of the natural world, the circular model of nature. whenever you've finished with a game, you can either eat it at and it is edible. it's printed using natural plant based colors. or you can just toss it in the compost or even in the forest. so you don't need to have a guilty conscience. no chemicals were used in the production process,

but the cradle to cradle standard means more than just come possible. it also means that during decomposition little to nothing is released that could harm the environment. printouts, loci is the 1st in germany that prints to this standard. ralph inherited the company from his father and has transformed it into a fully green operation. recently, i think it's the responsibility of a company to make sure that its products don't harm the environment. we need to make a profit so that both our staff and the company can make a living. but we're not looking to make a profit at the expense of people and nature. of course, this means making every step of the process to sustainable. the printing machines provide climate control for the building which uses the water every circulation system. the machines are also c o 2 neutral,

and the paper and printing colors both carry cradle to cradle certification. making the change from a conventional printing house to a sustainable one was an easy decision. fellow kite is not mentally much more expensive, but you do need to be willing to reorganize things. course when you really think production. a lot of things need to be completely overhauled. you need a whole new approach. this is a challenge facing the entire printing industry. more than half of the paper thrown out 12 wide ends up in landfills and more paper is produced every year. paper can take up to 20 years to break down, and that process releases c o 2 and me fame into the atmosphere. alcohol, and other chemicals from the printing process also see from the paper into the environment. catapult magazine founder benyamin freakish began printing on

a different sort of paper to save trees. this is the magazine issue where we changed over for normal clothes that the recycled paper. here i calculated how many trees were filled with normal clothes and on the back with recycled paper. if publishers would simply switch from normal paper to recycled paper, it would be a huge step to sure, it would be so much less damaging to the environment. not to it's a viable solution for big publishers. the search is simple and catapult, says it costs them less than one percent more to use recycled paper. and if people opted for the same high standards as asked to put in completely sustainable printed products, could become as common as wild plants. sustainability isn't only about energy and puts off production. it also comes from the initial

lead back of the indigenous fisherman. problem. next report, live in communities that have occupied land, generation after generation, and care for the natural, but yet many a time and legal transaction of an activist and fishing communities and schools to secure their land rights. well, my father used to see the sea and the sea showed to belong to the fish awful. but i realize this is statement is not entirely true now over here. and to have many of the people who have been living here for generations. like byron them on his family and his ancestors have long since lived on the coast of tamil nadu in south india. his village, called by avocado, is one of the oldest fishing villages in this region. but the proposed extension is

threatening its existence and that of $69.00 such religious right on the one varies that his family of 5 and his entire community might be displaced. the fishing grounds would also be under severe threat from foil erosion and water contamination on the market. if the billionaire strays and develop an uninhabited area, we don't arming the environmentalists and that is true development. here they're affecting so much and the local people are not even benefiting in any way. for the profit of one company or individual, they're willing to sacrifice the livelihood of almost 50000 people. less than 10 kilometers from the willage, one of india's biggest corporations, the dunny group, which mines coal among other activities, has announced a 5000000000 euro plan to extend the hub. they say will improve trade routes to the group acquired by land from local government,

whose records define these grounds as unused wasteland. and despite having lived here for countless generations, the fishing community has no way of officially proving it or in there are some people from earlier tonight, nations. they used to have herbal contracts and understanding about the lands and their rights over it. but these kind of for contracts mean nothing younger people organizing themselves, they're trying to save their villages, asserting their rights in a different way through their knowledge of technology that could be done. so the current generation of youth who are graduates have learned how to use g.p.s. systems and create maps that reflect how london is actually used here. on the senator to one of us. now we are marking and claiming the right for our lands. so

no p. corporations like danny and reliance can take it from us in the future. i don't been in on a sunday. so i went on, a fisherman turned activist heads this movement. he comes in, once fishing communities have marked out their land to the g.p.s. systems and combines this with go mental maps and historical records. he then works to get the local government to officially recognize the communities use of the land and the right to it. reach them and i heard about mapping and how maps are used to define a space this and land use of them rather than it would. i immediately came to my own village, called everyone together to see how to map and define a but only media that you know of the human element were the last 6 years. the team has mapped over 200 villages.

they shut down a power plant after litigations based on the maps provided evidence as to how the plant was harming the local ecosystem. they hope the same will happen to prevent the current ports expansion plans. yet in the only the local people of the know the policemen only deacon emerged as a hero who saved the environment and themselves one in the village must know about the different natural elements that compromise their side on being the mangroves and sand dunes and how they are to be used there nor how the religious government of the dunny group sees the land acquisition will be carried out by the government based on land use maps. the community here just hopes that the project will get them and their land, the official recognition,

they need to give them the legal tools to fight the expansion plan along with my father used to see this belongs to us, the fisherman. oh yeah. at least by the next generation, when it is my son or daughter's time, i hope my father's love comes true. apostle of we will live by him. so do your ownership of the land. then it will practice perhaps in the important place. if you were to look at agriculture, for example, chemical fertilizers and change the natural soil chemistry over time, making the practice on sustainable. but families can choose instead to use sustainable practices like organic farming to help with the soil and make it suitable for repeating and a group of young farmers in the mountainous region, not west albania is doing just that.

see on lama takes lots of photos, the mountains of northeastern albania are so beautiful. he works for p. p n e a. the country's largest environmental n.g.o.s. he promotes sustainable farming practices for the sake, both of nature and local people. so they can make a decent living and choose not to leave. this is the couric nick must see. that it's what zia keshi has a market garden. he grows fruit. his operation could inspire others to follow suit, especially young people. he cultivate berries. traditionally, people gathered wild ones in the mountains and if there are, let's say your lama says such market gardens could be a fruitful source of income for more families around here. ok, she worked for several years in italy. he saved up some money, came home and began farming some of his work. he started with

a roni of berries 5 years ago. before branching out, his venture is proving to be a success. in july, his products were certified as organic by an agency in germany. and that's something he's very proud of, you know, it will be one of them for the sick with the i don't use fertilizer. everything is just the same as up in the mountains. the bacteria in the soil of the humans. they make the plants strong. at the start of the book. she doesn't need to do any marketing. customers come to him to buy his produce. he's been experimenting with a number of crops, red love apples, for example. very recent cultivar with red flesh resistant to disease. but we really mean it has been here and goji berries from china. they thrive

here too. she also sells cuttings to those who want to emulate in basilan. i would love to see others do precisely that. he collaborates with local foresters, veterinarians, and agronomists. they advise small hold farmers in the mountains, for example, on how to get a bank loan purchase livestock, or set up a market garden. the corrupt, correct nick nature park is a lovely place to hike. but visitors are few and far between. because of the pandemic, lockdowns and travel restrictions, the people and flocks who live here are pretty much alone. there are many feeder is a shepherd. he has a hard time making a living. but unlike many of his contemporaries who go abroad, he wants to stay on

llama often comes up here to the mountain pastures to talk to the locals. find out what problems they face and help work on solutions. you owe me an evil thing. they say it's getting harder and harder to find places for their flocks to graze the numbers of the seabees decreasing every year and have taken over the past or a length of the basra area. this is the main problem that they are losing significant part of it's a vicious circle. i'm aris, family spends the summer months up in the mountains. they spend the winter down in the village. i marries mother doesn't need to worry about her son. he learnt everything he knows from her. he knows he doesn't lead a comfortable life like people in the city. but he also knows that he has

a lot more than his family did 100 years ago. of course i would like to have a big car. but you have to make a choice if you love this kind of life up here as i do, then you can't go and live in a big city. there's still it's tough tending sheep or growing crops here. and our aim for the next series that we need to support this. and this family is in order that they can, let's say, profit from the, from this that the view that they are doing. this is the main, i mean, think it's often easier to make money abroad than to continue farming. here the area might be beautiful, but without jobs or prospects, young people will continue to go away. far away. now as street artist and better mindful of the ways throughout and she creates works of

art out of garbage to have people on the stand back and all that is trashed. let's take a look. oversized sculptures, looking good enough to eat the sidewalk, where passers by can stumble over them. street artist, floor con, makes installations out of junk. she set up her workshop in a suburb of paris. this is where she prepares her projects. she got the idea for the series from the many just guarded mattresses. she'd seen him again using old mattresses everywhere with me. it's almost become an obsession. i absolutely had to develop a concept that had something to do with studied art at the sub on university in paris, and developed an interest in waste products of all kinds. our consumerist and throwaway society was the central theme of her works. trash is transformed into

a piece of cake. these objects attract people's attention because they look at the taj. and at the same time, they're familiar all once an old mattress that people once found disgusting or just overlooked, becomes interesting. and that's what fascinates me, that people will look at something they didn't originally want to see her transience objects of art pop up all over the city. couldn't imagine making them for an art gallery. here i can set out on my own and create really big objects with just my bare hands and to barack obama. it's interesting that this is even possible on the street. it wouldn't have any meaning for me in a room. the contact with people just isn't the same song almost in my search for junk, mainly took me into the multicultural knows rentis trends with people don't have such ready access to. they are,

the more you can since long past works stand in public spaces, they can be classed as public property. as such, they can be taken away by the trash pickup at any time. a matter of keeping an object around as long as possible. i'm interested in whether i can actually complete it since how long it will survive and what reactions. in the end, all that luck has left of her projects are the photos for our planet to be in good health, not only for us, but for our children and our children's children. the stain of all we of life is a requirement i hope to be useful when all of india have given you the inspiration to work towards a lady with that you again next week until then. good bye. cohan

. if anything the feeling

if anything i'm a softie it's in my comps where i come from bride jordan names, an important time to mean soft promise meeting, new and information. and when i was young, my country was drawing each home from the war trauma. people wanted gods of entourage to see it was mind, joel 22 in one of the not just say it's so thought everyone in the

town and listen to that day's letting cars in for in-situ. my long katia, into a month maltese on the road, even thought i caught us. i was it would have made more by choice the scottish because even their way to try to spin the trolls when it was an aggression homage. and i will dig up a little idea as it is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make see the screen or how can we protect habitats? we can make a difference. global ideas or mental series, again, global $3000.00 on g.w. and online. this is

a 15 year old girl being gang raped, his teacher is beating a boy for talking by complots, by the rest of the class watches. and here is a tall tourist being killed by his mother. breaking up lots of child sleeps in the streets because her family, through her from here on my bowling pushes a teenager over the edge. just because you can see violence against children doesn't mean others. and there are make them visible, visible of us might violence against children disappear.

the un says the situation in ethiopia could be spiraling out of control. thousands of civilians who fled to neighboring sudan say they were bombed by government forces. ethiopia says its troops have made gains in the country's northern region. fears are growing of a prolonged conflict,

and honoring the victims france marks the 5th anniversary of one of the worst terrorist atrocities in its history. militants killed 130 people and injured many in a series of coordinated attacks. i'm glad to have you with us. ethiopian civilians who fled fighting in the region say they were bombed by government forces this, despite the ethiopian government's claim that ease only striking military targets to graze, regional leader has warned of a long struggle ahead between local fighters and government forces following the have led to massacre of civilians and to grab a reuters news agency is reporting that ethiopian police in the neighboring on her region are asking international agencies for

a list of ethnic to grand staff. these images broadcast on ethiopia's state television show, the national forces, reportedly pushing into the west of the countries to get our region in. the army says it's made a big advances there in its fight against the people's liberation front or t p l f . it's currently tough getting information out of tikrit. since the fighting broke out last week, communications there have been down transport blocked and media barred. but a new report from amnesty international says scores and probably hundreds of civilians have been massacred in the fighting. there. witnesses claim forces backing the t p l f for the killings. however, the group denies this. we are very confident with saying that several 100 civilians were stabbed to death in macau, who did this where we're unsure. people have told us that it's members of the to grab people's liberation front,

although we cannot independently confirm that. on friday, the united nations human rights chief michel by shelling expressed her quote, increasing alarm, and called for a full inquiry into the reports. she said, if confirmed as having been deliberately carried out by a party to the current fighting, these killings of civilians would of course, amount to war crimes, fears are high, the situation is spiraling out of control. the u.n. says the fighting has prompted some 15000 people to flee to neighboring sudan since the clashes began. the conflict erupted in early november. the government sent troops into the region after an alleged attack by local forces on a federal army base in the capital. the federal government, hard in every right to the proof in our security forces in the use force in order to put an end. those simply get that in magical russian and grows human rights

violation relations between the ethiopian prime minister and the te, great people's liberation front have long been tense for nearly 30 years. the t p l f was dominant in ethiopian politics. but abi curbed the party's influence after coming to power in $28.00. its leaders say they have been unfairly targeted. a constitutional dispute raised tensions to boiling point. the t p l. f defied obvious decision to postpone national polls. juta the coronavirus pandemic. in september, they went ahead with elections and to grow, which they control. not only the stability of ethiopia is at stake in this conflict . the country with its population of 110000000 is pivotal to the stability of the horn of africa as a whole. matter involving marshall is a member of the german buddhist dogs committee on economic cooperation and development, and

a christian democratic spokesman on africa. it's nice to have you with us, sir. what are you hearing about the situation on the ground into gray? and how worried are you that it might struggle out of control? well, what we are hearing is, is not very much. the situation is difficult. contacts phones are interrupted we, we have hard difficulties to get information, but as far as we know, there is a great danger of estimation. and there is the most important thing, which i would urge and be honest to the government of from you all be it is true to give access to international help organizations, especially to the region where millions of probably 2000000, people need urgently help that process which began greece called it,

but also with the, with the locusts lock in this year. you've called in the past for germany and europe to do more in africa and for closer coordination of development in ads and security policy. what exactly would that look like? in other words, what role can ensure germany play? germany plays a very important role. we invested in these last years, more than 150000000 euros every year to sport economic growth because most of the they need jobs. and they need economic growth in the country. and we tried to attract foreign and to create those drops and we were on a good trick there. also we have as a part not for reforms and they did a good progress in that respect. and now we see the big danger of this integration of the country. and of course,

we can't accept that that be needs to make sure that the country will not fall into arts. of course we, if he needs wants to avoid crimes against persons not on marshall with the really appreciate your time, sir. thank you. thank you so much. now paris is marking the 5th anniversary of its deadliest terror attack ceremonies have been held in the french capital and attendees, including the mayor of paris. and the french prime minister have paid tribute to the victims at sites around the city where the attacks took place. 5 years ago in 201-5130, people were killed when so-called islamic state militants launched multiple attacks in the french capital, suicide bombers and gunmen carried out

a 4 hour killing spree, which also injured hundreds. we'd like to bring in filmmaker shane mcmillan who was a night witness at the scene on that fateful night a memory. he's no doubt relived many nights since. shane, thanks for joining us here on the w. . you were in a building adjacent to the bottom. when the shooting began. can you tell us what happened? well, you know, as i was actually visiting a friend for paris photo, when we were working in the studio, i was sharing a wall with the butter. and so we were in there working, and the attack went on for quite a while. we didn't know what was going on and we did trust ourselves to go outside . it was just in the moment when people started escaping out the back door. and the building that we were staying in kind of became a refuge in, a tree space. and i actually got a call from p.r., i was a radio program that i was working for the time. and then it up reporting for most

of the evening from inside kind of the sealed off area that was around. but i'm sure with a little bit of difficulty if we're lucky, this is not the sort of thing most of us will ever experience. of course, if i can ask what effect is this had on your life since i mean, it was a pretty traumatic experience. there was, it was pretty awful what was happening. and i think i walked away with a much deeper compassion, empathy for people who'd been through traumatic experiences kind of really showed me how much trauma shapes people's lives and how much it shapes the way our society works. and i mean to this day, i still kind of sit through the window or near the door with my back to the wall when i go out, even though it's crazy, but it still is. so my mind what you're saying is you,

you worry that this sort of thing could happen right around the corner. still today . i don't think so. i think it's just kind of an impulse that you have to, you know, you know, think when you see something like that it's, it just, you've, you kind of always have it in you, you know, i don't worry about it. i think that, you know, i think that i whatever, what i really took away from it was probably more relevant to my work that, you know, trauma shapes. a lot of the ways that we frame things. i'm just journalists, i think it shapes the way that we talk about these things in society with the way that we talk about them, builds fear. and i think, you know, a lot of the right wing politics of the last 5 years in europe can be kind of, you can kind of see the roots of it in that moment. and the way that we as journalists frame that story and talk about it was really important to that. and i think living that in real time as

a person who was on the scene was very informative to me. shane mcmillan eyewitness of the terror attack at the better concert hall. thank you so much for joining us and good luck with your further endeavors. really appreciate your time. thank you. to the crown, a pandemic now and here in germany, there have been a record number of new cases with nearly 24000 infections registered in just the last 24 hours. half of all hospitals are reported to be stretched to capacity, and germany was able to boost its number of intensive care beds during the 1st wave . but as we report, trained, nurses have increasingly been in short supply. in the shell is an intensive care nurse. she finished her specialist training at the end of october. now she's caring for a coronavirus patient in intensive care at dessau of so university hospital having f.m.s. and great. we've moved him around so that he lies in different positions and doesn't get bedsores. my colleagues will take some blood for a blood gas analysis,

which will tell us how to adjust the ventilator and things that a 30 year old nurse cannot yet do alone. having passed the state exam and completed 3 years of training for 2 years, she assisted on the ward with supervision. then after 2 more training years, she became a specialist nurse for intensive care and anaesthesia. that's all about ventilation . what to consider when ventilating which settings are there and also types of surgery in more detail. you also get a deeper insight into anaesthesia the sequence of operations. here's the job is medically technically and personally challenging. that's why nurses cannot simply start working in i.c.u. after their basic training. louisiana in is 25 and just completed her 1st year of specialist training. 8 months of it during the pandemic. together with a colleague, she cares for a seriously ill coronavirus patient. after one more year,

she will be able to do this on her own with their patients who should have one on one care. and of course we try to provide it. but sometimes it doesn't work out because we don't have enough staff if that even though the job pays well after training german nurses earn an average of $3500.00 euros per month before tax . and those doing shift work in i.c.u. receive additional bonuses. but high stress levels, big responsibilities, weekend shifts and a lack of recognition are all deterrents plucked them and of god. and sure, raising the wage could be an incentive for staying in the job and it could attract others to choose this line of work and death. do you think we could be paid more life considering the work we have to do for you? and and i'm glad that this is currently being discussed more that i'm a man fish,

but i have calmed and so the coronavirus pandemic may even bring about change. but doesn't think was the point then we were just taken for granted. the issue wasn't addressed the last few years. many people don't know what nurses have to deal with on a daily basis, especially intensive care nurses. and why not just anyone can do it at louisiana and wants to finish her specialist training despite and because of covert 19, these nurses know the coming weeks will be tough, but saying they will somehow manage and a reminder of the top stories we're following for you the u.n. is warning that the situation in ethiopia, risks spiraling out of control. thousands of civilians who fled the fighting in the region say they were bombed by government forces. the government says it is making progress in its offensive. paris is marking the 5th anniversary of its deadliest

terror attacks. ceremonies have been taking place across the french capital. and the french prime minister have paid tribute to the victims at sites around the city where the attacks took place. in 2015. you're watching you coming up your business with. stay tuned for that and remember, you can get all the latest news and information around the clock on our web site. that's the news team here. thanks for watching. we'll see you at the top of the hour with more news. why did this person comes his whole

lot that can be done.
