this is t w news live from berlin russia rolls out its sputnik v. vaccine against covert 19 with a mass campaign and moscow 2000000 doses are available for high risk groups but amid concerns about how fast the vaccine was approved will muscovites with really sign up for the job also coming up. violence and arrests on the streets of paris clashes break out at a hotel stay against police brutality and a controversial new security law in the french capital police respond to fireworks

with tear gas canisters and after 60 years and almost 6000000000 kilometers a japanese space capsule has returned to earth with samples from a distant asteroid they could provide clues to the origin of the solar system and life on our planet. welcome to the show. moscow has launched a large scale vaccination campaign with a russian made sputnik v vaccine against kobe at 19 it comes as russia reports its highest number of new daily infections since the start of the pandemic the rollout is going to had even though clinical trials have not yet been completed doctors teachers and social workers are among those 1st in line to receive the shot our

moscow correspondent emily sure when caught up with one of them. to me that he signed up for the vaccination as soon as he could get it the 42 year old is healthy and says he isn't too worried about getting the coronavirus himself but he doesn't want to be a carrier for the disease especially because he works as a social worker at a government run jobs and career center. around 200 or 300 people from all over moscow come through our center every day and we never know where they might have been and who they might have been in contact with so the likelihood of the corona virus spreading is quite high i'm able to get the vaccine so i decided to get it for my own peace of mind also for the people i'm close to my colleagues at work and the people who come to our center to meet the he is one of thousands of people who've signed up for the shot in moscow according to authorities social workers teachers and doctors are 1st in line for it. sputnik v.

requires patients to get to jobs around 3 weeks apart though the covert 19 vaccine is already registered along with one other russian vaccine in both cases the 3rd and final phase of the trials has not been completed people are getting the shot anyway and the doctors at this hospital feel the rush to rollout the vaccine in russia is justified and they point out that interim research data shows v is 95 percent effective at this time that the vaccine has some standard side effects which we also see after flu shots for example people can have a slightly higher than normal temperature and body aches which go away after one or 2 days or simply taking care of our people by vaccinating them we want to create immunity in certain sections of the population we could wait for a long time until everyone has had covert but that carries significant risks for the population. this moscow clinic is one of dozens where the coronavirus shot is

ready to go in the capital after russian president vladimir putin ordered a large scale rollout last wednesday across moscow there are 70 clinics like this one where people to now get the coronavirus vaccine for russia getting this vaccine rolled out to normal people as quickly as possible and essentially before any other country in the world is clearly a political step russia wants to show that it's a scientific superpower on the world stage. but they need to isn't concerned his government could have cut corners to rush out the vaccine he's convinced it will give him immunity and stop the spread of covert 19 in russia. and lou surely reporting there many countries across europe have been tightening restrictions in a bid to curb the spread of coronavirus greece has decided to extend that 2nd lock down for another week until december 14th the government says infection rates have not been slowing as quickly as expected and hospitals are reaching their limits the

strict lockdown measures are having a crippling effect on many greeks personal finances and the wider economy. the acropolis in athens has not seen any visitors for weeks now the nation wide lockdown has brought public life in greece to standstill just pharmacies grocery stores and gas stations remain open because if you someplace from 9 pm it will mean that it's going to get it's nerve wracking because this is our 2nd lockdown it gets harder financially christmas is coming and we are locked in isolated from all of the ones many minutes of. anyone who doesn't follow the strict rules faces a fine of 300 euros only those with a special permit are allowed to leave their homes in america facemasks is mandatory wherever you go. next then you know your well it might not be the nicest way to handle all of this but at least it helps us greeks to be more careful. so that our families in necessary step it seems authorities are registering in alarming surge

of new infections in the north of the country that's more than 600 new cases spare 100000 inhabitants but this is a real problem we see huge spread of the virus in our population the pressure on our medical system our hospitals and i say use is growing. the whole north of the country is turning into a conflict hotspot cemetery staff hurry to dig fresh graves in saloniki greek broadcast of show funerals with only 2 relatives attending. greece's health care system is still suffering from the year started 2 measures put in place after the eurozone crisis you know the number of new covered infections appears to be stabilizing but the strict lockdown won't be lifted for another week. as a roundup of some of the other developments in the corona virus pandemic the world health organization is warning against complacency has vaccines begin to come on stream the w.h.o. says face masks and other measures will be needed for the foreseeable future

austria has started mass testing its population despite scientists fearing that negative results could encourage people to ignore hi jay rolls and health authorities and france french asserted almost 13000 new infections on saturday that's higher than friday's total and bucks a general month long downward trend. staying in france now and thousands of people across the country have taken to the streets to demonstrate against what they say are worsening employment conditions and deteriorating social rights and freedoms despite starting out peacefully the protest in paris later turned violent with some protesters burning cars and smashing property the interior ministry says dozens of people were arrested the protest comes as president of mining on my calls government faces heavy criticism trying to push through a new security law it says is intended to protect police officers and

a crackdown on islamist groups. earlier i spoke to our correspondent lisa lu is and paris i asked her how much pressure is on french president and mind you and at the moment is a lot of pressure and it seems that the pressure is indeed growing you know in the beginning the government was hoping to pass that low low without that much of a backlash but what happened then was really no one could have 1st seen that there were 2 videos published on one of the one the footage that was footage of in the vacation of a migrant crowd here the plaster that would be behind me which was very violently done by police and also video from music producer who got beaten up by police so criticism of police guards of the police in general has then obviously increased and the pressure also on the government to withdraw that though the government is still saying that they're trying to find a balance between you know protecting the police from aggression but also

protecting the population but many here feel that that balance has not been problem just yet. that was lisa lewis in paris let's now take a look at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world former french president but it is you scows this don has been in a small village in central france she's got had refused a state funeral so only a few dozen get attend the private ceremony he died on wednesday and the age of $94.00 after contracting the coronavirus is. european commission president it was enough on the line for the u.k. and. negotiators will continue their trade talks in brussels on sunday that follows a phone call with british prime minister boris johnson in a bid to break the deadlock over a potential deal there are just weeks left until the break the transition period ends on december 31st. in mali's capital bamako the national transition council has held its inaugural session the body is expected to pave the way for

a return to democracy after months of unrest the council elected military officer monday off as its president one of the officers leading the military coup back in august. police in italy say they have dismantled an international migrants smuggling ring they arrested 19 people and searched homes in several cities like here and bari the suspects are accused of running a criminal network that helped transport migrants illegally across the eastern mediterranean into the european union. a japanese space capsule carrying rare asteroid material has touched down back on earth after a 6 year journey covering almost 6000000000 kilometers. japanese arranged agency staff applauded as the capsule detached from the probe blue said to and began its final approach to earth the craft landed at

a remote base in australia the probe collected rock and soil samples billions of years old from the distant asteroid 3 hugo scientists hope the material will provide clues about the origins of the universe and of life itself let's bring in phil think our avenue from science desk for more on this so feet are welcome the capsule has landed what do we know about its return journey and the samples it's carrying. well from all reports so far the return journey was very smooth it's being described as an historic events and indeed it is quite historic to have be samples returned to work it's not the 1st time it's happened but it is one of these sort of part of the growing speed in race to bring samples back from say the moon or an asteroid or other planets you know hopefully at some point very soon say mars so it landed and the helicopter has been out itself being the location has be discovered as be detected and of course then teams are going to go out to actually

secure the samples because after make sure the cell phones are secure and not damaged in any way some of the samples could be damaged so that's where we're at right now but of course it's very early in the morning in local time in australia middle of the night to to pound when this landed but the sun should become help very soon in australia so they should be rushing out there to find out what's going to happen now or what's next in store for the samples once it is secured what will happen to that precious cargo here on earth. well jack so the japanese space agency is you know a very collaborative space agency the samples that are usually distributed from a mission such as the such as this to international teams i think the 1st thing will be though the japanese and australian teams will have to look at the the samples and then they'll be distributed to your events and to the u.s. no doubt so that people could not see investigate these samples to see what's in them to see about the the origins of our solar system of our universe and of course

the sort of pristine precious bodies that have been swirling around for billions of years and so we can find out that ourselves but also work out what sort of resources there are out there for the future of space exploration human spaceflight building bases on the moon or on mars and what have you so there's a lot to be deceived discovered here that i ever said to miss and doesn't end here where does the prowl go next. well it's actually quite amazing let me get my numbers that are correct for once it's actually already about well 2000 kilometers away from already traveling at 30 kilometers per 2nd it's on its way to another asteroid a very small asteroid called 1998 k y $26.00 it's a tiny thing and this is one of those sort of those asteroids that could be a potential problem for it's a mirror object that could be you know what would they talk about cometary defense so jack so the international space community is very eager to find out more about

such small objects such as they said and heading that way going i think it's going to should arrive by about 2031 so 11 years from now and that's it's racing off in a direction but this is when as i say in the 1st time since the sixty's the late seventy's that we've had this amazing thing i have the one has actually done it before but in recent years but we're now seeing more countries china on the move the u.s. and europe going to mars to collect samples in japan has another mission coming up in 2020 or so to collect samples from one of mars is moves so it's all go now this is really a new start a new era for sample return missions to seventies still think advani thank you very much. nuclear football now and match day 10 saw a dog moaned and giovanni rain other late as young american star play at ein tufts on foot and the hosts were dominant in the early going daiichi come out up in frankfurt on top of the japanese bowled in the long pass and bounced it in but rain

a weekly radio show it's called spectrum if you would like any information on the coronavirus or any other science topic you should really check out our podcast you can get it wherever you can get your pod cast you can also find us and. science. online hate speech is a powerful thing sometimes all it takes is one tweet or post by a user and suddenly they're hit by tons of insults and threats but is hate speech so dangerous that it should be censored or is freedom of expression more important hate speech versus free speach. our topic today and since. according to facebook only one in a 1000 posts were contains hate speech the targets are often individuals like

homosexuals muslims or women who get hundreds of replies per day to something they've posted but online hate speech can also target entire ethnic groups and it can escalate tensions and incite real violence says the u.n. special adviser on the prevention of genocide big must. start. always with more action and language no one. thought it that the whole look costs was preceded it. by hate speech crimes and hate speech continues to escalate tensions and animosity between groups here are 2 recent examples. in march. an open smear campaign on social media against her hinge of muslims a deadly crackdown by mia mars army sent over 700000 refugees fleeing the country.

conflicts with the muslim minority has flared up time and again for centuries. it's been mars population gained access to the internet in 2014 targeted misinformation about the ranger was disseminated. south sudan. here hate speech and social media has found the flames of civil war and further divided the country 64 tribes. platforms are used to spread propaganda targeting particular groups. in south sudan online attacks have also often been followed up by physical assaults. but what about if hate speech is only online some say that this is so hurtful that it should be forbidden others call that censorship they argue that we should be free to say exactly what we think so where is the line between 8 speech and free speech the answer to that largely

depends on the country you live in. not even legal experts have managed to separate things speech in a clear and only way says renowned american civil liberties activist the dean strong. speech refers to motion which is very subjective and. your own more. than that has c been you bought. and being in here aren't we they and subject to the discretion who ever has power to enforce at. the top of that definitions are very indifferent parts of the world denial of the holocaust for example is illegal in 18 european countries but even here freedom of speech is on pelt is a value worth protecting kitty

a strong suit this herself the daughter of a holocaust survivor nonetheless she says censorship isn't the right tool to use against hate speech. that well and and as an censorship it is it ends up doing more harm than good and that is this is a plea true with respect to cost denial or any other kind of disinformation or misinformation in fact any kind of censorship the natural human reaction is that more attention is drawn to the very message that one is seeking to suppress. the former chairwoman of the american civil liberties union or a.c.l.u. is convinced that honest discussions are the only way to overcome distance between opposing sides counter speech is a very important factor and by that i mean any use of your freedom of

speech hours to persuade educate. or do anything you can to advance the cause of the messages are equality and inclusive and diversity and dignity and to rebut the counter messages. but there are limits. and when individuals are directly attacked. to the ted constitutes a criminal offense such as libel or threat of bodily harm. it is no longer protected it's freedom of speech. tech companies have started taking more actions against negative content on their platforms nowadays because laws in europe have been tightened but there is still plenty of hate speech on social media because that kind of content brings money. and speech is controversial it's highly emotive and attracts clicks critics maintain that companies like facebook and you

tube are well aware of and actively promote the spread of posts containing extreme content facebook's algorithm for instance long favored potentially controversial. because they get more views and they to people spending more time on the platform which increases. this was because they pursued growth in a way that was reckless. to promote content in a way this insatiable stuff would get more exposure if you take extreme measures to get rid of all hate speech then you're going to slow down the growth. projects these assertions the company says it has 35000 employees deleting hate speech posts. in the 1st quarter of 2020 facebook took down over 9 and a half 1000000 inflammatory posts a new record according to laws in europe companies are only obliged to take down

hate speech after it has been reported but in closed groups content is only visible to members so it's unlikely hate speech there will get reported because posts are being seen by like minded audiences this is true for chat groups and also for online gaming communities where hostility can be expressed in a different way. to the world's largest p.c. games platform is not within 5. years who could be to shooter games they've developed selves to basic or home. sexual or jews others. are right church groups have links to close to hate speech groups and telegraph these have clear rules that every must follow as well knows he committed violent offline to become a member that's what i wanted to get. i wanted to prove myself to say i'm here you notice me because that's why i beat someone up i told the leader and even

sent him a picture. took that photo to prove i belong to the group. that this is my family and i had to anything for them but. i found. these days kevin no longer hangs out and right wing chat groups in germany the majority of hate messages online about 3 quarters comes from right wingers about my percent are battle leftwing extremists and 14 percent cannot be definitely assigned to any political orientation according to germany's federal criminal police what i find especially interesting is that about half of all like for hate comments come from a really small number of users only about 5 percent experts have long known that hate speech complaints are often well prepared and carefully typed only someone who's been targeted by such a complaint can know how devastating it can be someone like stephanie palmer from eastern germany in 2015 she launched an initiative to help refugees in her hometown

. in 2015 a sentiment in for i told was turning just for a few g.'s stiffy prop 2 thought that an organization to promote openness and tolerance she was suitable barred it because he was just to say he should be brave too and get out of town we have the baseball that's ready to go on. things like that. that was just the beginning for mil blogs was also blown up and people call her at night. and that's as if you've got this kind of felt like it was coming closer and closer or someone might come home and you would immediately lock the door behind me and then i would 1st take every room holding pepper spray in my hand corked it almost bordered on paranoia with the trends. but i think at moments like that being afraid can be good to a certain extent because it makes you cautious and alert and. the hostility she experienced almost has left it's more it's. escape talk of the primary days when

the verbal attacks just roll off me i can stand there and say oh come on you can kiss my butt on this guitar and there are days when it really hurts when all at once i fall silent and take a step. that's horrible and a lot of people have had similar experiences there are going is a sense that specialize in dealing with hate speech and digital ourselves to help those who have become targets of hate campaigns one as hate aids in berlin the 1st thing hate and hate employees try to do is to stabilize hate speech victims emotional. axed the scum hostile content for posts that could carry legal consequences. not all those attacked wish to file charges this also has financial reasons then. if you've been libeled or threatened for a post and you go to a lawyer who says all right we'll take it to court you're facing at least 2000 euros and costs and if you lose you have to pay the other side's legal fees that's

another 2000 years or. advisors people free of charge. if someone can't pay the court fees the organization offers legal aid. it also provides practical online security culture. isn't a huge problem online right now our attempts to get people's private data by their home addresses our children's schools. we help them comb the internet before the haters do and hide that sensitive data. a good 500 people have contacted the organization over the past 2 years 65 percent were female when women or girls are attacked online threats often have sexual connotations many attackers remain unknown shielded by the anonymity of the. and i later found how to recognize that it's important for people to be able to be anonymous online. but if someone

violates the law she thinks their identity shouldn't be protected. also a huge problem we have in germany and in almost all european countries is that acts are committed on line. which courts rule are punishable by websites or don't hand over the culprits data so basically they're protecting the guilty ones there we have to say clearly this has to change. if ensure middle court rules that an offense has been committed then websites have to be compelled to cooperate. i'm grateful to say i've never been targeted by hates each have you how do you defend yourself against abuse and hate speech on the internet let us know on facebook or you tube i and see this in.

eco africa. they have a bad reputation but they play a key role in the ecosystem. which is a very much important enough clean environment to call them new trends and until many species are endangered a project in kenya seeks to protect the unloved scavengers that means above all talking to local people eco and africa. next on. the story in spite of their. close relatives are allowed to visit their loved ones are pastors more important now than at least. they provide support and human connection despite the protective thing and sometimes to the ones who will be the americans of the family. in 30 minutes on t.w.

. in the height of climate change. africa's mix of. what's in store. for the future come the book. called the 2nd biggest city today to incite. counter. hello and welcome to eco africa on today's sure we will talk about the problem of plastic waste another waste under impact because in 1000 pandemic is having on the environmentalists i'm now out i in lagos nigeria and i am sundra 3 nobody 0 here in company capital uganda a big hello to everybody thank you for joining us as always we have lots of

interesting stories for you from africa and europe on a range of environmental issues but fast here is what is coming up in a bit. how young people in uganda launching businesses about anything society. health german cities are preparing for the climate crisis. and why you don't mind being cynical walks around covered in plastic bags. how can jobs recreated for young people why aren't the same time protecting our planet and its resources close to our country to a company we've visited and learning how to which encourages young people to turn their business visions into reality. our house collapsed only when mother died from the interviews she suffered so i

turned to my painful past into motivation i never knew that what i'm doing would turn this big to me until environment i followed and i thought discriminated because of my often falling from malaria. i am now part of the solution in my country. 2 people each with a vision journal the bega produces so with a sense that repels mosquito according to the un every 2 minutes a child under the age of 5 dies of malaria. you even if i'm the one saving all the kids that are suffering right now i am at least saving the ones that i can john merrick spander and director of the green business up cycle africa which builds houses out of recycled plastic bottles consumer and elevator are graduates of the

social innovation academy all senior official says. it's located in the town of from p.v. about 30 kilometers south of uganda's capital kampala. here young people including oftens and street kids learn how to develop their ideas into successful businesses due to the code of 19 pandemic only a few students are currently able to attend classes on campus especially in uganda people are not prepared to read the work together to present themselves to us critical questions to find their own solutions on answers and we are learning that unseen are and that's why often not everybody will become an entrepreneur but many of our scholars as well that have been so you know have found jobs. one of the solutions lead to compiler with plastic waste is a huge problem. $350000.00 tons of trash accumulate in the ugandan capital every year and only half of it is disposed of. much of the plastic lands on this

trash dump recycling isn't coming here john mary could be in or pays young trash collectors together bottles that he can then use to build houses. every time i come here i do like give some money to other people to do for example is locally all keeping our environment limited to gives me a lot of hope that even the preacher down the vision will inherit the whole of the planet that we are we have done all we have protected from plastic with. is pressed into the plastic bottles to make bricks many women work full to the mist business giving them the chance to earn their own money. give him a says the houses are cool inside even on hot days his business has already constructed more than 100 buildings using over 3000000 plastic bottles in the process. due to the colonial virus pandemic commissions have slowed but there is

funding coming in from abroad we are revising different solutions on the way we can be able to survive as a company we've also got some people who came along to support us for example we've got some funding for ikea and our chairman that decided to support us and especially in the. journal of baker has brought a few bars of soap to one of the women who supply her with lemon grass a key ingredient in her product before the covert 19 crisis nella baker charge tourists and hotels a bit more for her so so she could keep the price down for locals but now that they are hardly any tourists she's expanded her online process i have a vision to make my country a better place i have a mission to make africa into it of running away from it to make it happen to a place. before my grandmother happened to see me now i know it will be proud of me

. protection and conservation that's also what our next report is about in recent decades ghana goes to fast track a rain forest it is a situation that is a once in climate change that's right sandra one local eco activist and entrepreneur decided to address the problem reforested a piece of land by practicing sustainable forestry there he helped revive the natural ecosystem he's enterprise is not only a boon for the environment it's become a popular destination for equal taurus. but i have a lady's come forward this is a moment wellington by didn't particularly enjoy treating his visitors to the intoxicating center of ilang the language. exam process rather than the man but the fact backs going to smile like that for weeks as well and walking in

a flower garden is quite beautiful. and it's very nice to see that there's a very like us and god that. others whether they're here and god or even outside of the country to come to and actually enjoy nature. it's started 20 years ago when biden planted all his hold in of 210 acres. he founded porto forest estates and initially just sold would put up so. we thought we could enter crop with food crops and keep it going by. selling those food crops to generate short term revenue except that the community and the workers kept eating everything even before us was ready to generate more income he and his team had another idea they decided to propagate local plants and extract essential oils in 2018 they added eco tourism jaring every 2 all visitors served up

a typical kenyan dish that is made exclusively of local forest produce. $1000.00 bitin is also linking up with the local community inventive here's hired several locals as chefs and told gods also work in his laboratory technician isaac could joe is in charge of producing the essential oils as well as natural cosmetics not just so. because up with. natural source from the forest they tend to have less side effects and they're the really how give that. very effective treatment for therapy you can really get the feel of the of the room up from the plant and you have no side effects or anything whatever the oils and sold across the country included in the capital across retailers there also provide interested costumers with detailed information about the production.

on guided tours visitors hear about the company's mission future plans include sustainable construction projects for their eco tourism business this is because we want to make use. about 5 percent on the right took up cost question i think they should. have been met by the whole family we want to reduce that and all of our monthly friend wellington biden attaches great importance to passing on is knowledge to the next generation. and now our main focus is. the experience shows dining center where we're going to teach people what we have learned over the last 20 years this is the only way that we come quickly disseminate what we've learnt because it's all about training and empowering people

to also go out there and do it themselves in that way biden's projects provides an example to local residents showing how day 2 can make a living from protecting the forests. now more than half of the population of nigeria live in urban cities like lagos and others of the eyes asian is on the rise all over the world not just in africa in europe currently more than 70 percent of the population already lives in towns and cities but a growing problem is that cities are vulnerable to extreme weather caused by climate change in germany steps are being taken to protect towns on the heat and massive rainfall with the help of nature. these young trees fresh from the nursery are being planted in the new residential neighborhood complex in hamburg the leaves on some looks surprisingly green and fresh given how late it is in the year especially when compared to these beach saplings they are spain's alter

a hybrid species bred from japanese and caucasian alder with many beneficial characteristics nursery owner explains that when it gets hot the pores in their leaves close to retain valuable moisture. we haven't planted many of the spades out there yet it's new here a climate change tree a city tree of the future. we still have to see how they fare in urban settings my suspicion is they're far superior to native species around the corner are some states alter that were planted in the spring the summer was very dry but they're still looking good. better than the endemic species here. 20 years ago we started to say that we're going to have to plant different kinds of trees new ones better suited to cities where they're subjected to a lot of stress it took a while for people to sit up and listen to climate change just playing havoc with cities around the world one reason why many cities can't deal well with heavy rain

or floods is that so much city surface is covered by concrete and water can seep into the ground. environmental scientists complain that this sealing effect means half of all rainfall is lost compared to woodlands and meadows and not available to people or nature. rain water that's channeled straight into drains and carried away is gone it can evaporate and it's removed from the natural water cycle from evaporation cools the air and we feel that was you can all the sealed surfaces heat up on. and stay hot if there's no cooling effect from evaporation that's one reason we get urban heat islands an alternative approach can be found in southern brylin in a neighborhood where sponge city water management principles have been adopted here

rainwater is collected on open ground and roofs and channeled into local pools it doesn't just disappear down the drain and get whisked away on a coup that is a geographer and hydrologist who works for berlin's only in the water company think tank. rainwater is a very valuable resource we need to adapt our city to a changing climate that's what our goal is to manage and use that locally. the entire project takes up 10 tears it's full of unpaved surfaces strips of garden and the roofs here are also covered in soil and plants lots of opportunities for rainwater to be soaked up and slowly released into the air or ground imo if it's come up the. rain will to cvs directly into the ground between the paving stones or it flows into little depressions in the ground like this one that's why there's a gap in the curb. and that water's sinks in or it evaporates less

benefiting the trees. than have fun and set up his climate cops 5 years ago his heat resistant trees can't do entirely without water but it will take time to find out just how much water they need and how well they adapt. using guns on fog it's still in the early stages. when testing $61.00 species of tree seeing how they fare. we've been growing some of the species for decades so we already know their strengths and weaknesses. his nursery has so far raised 10000 trees new to germany's urban landscapes. but better able to weather climate change trains like the turkey oak and new climate treaty which is being introduced more frequently into hamburg's neighborhoods all of which should make for some pretty cool cities. talking about 31 thing you will find

homes are works of art beyond making us happy these are p.c.'s can also draw attention to social issues like and bio mental pollution in today's edition of doing your bit for the environment we meet i mean pressure of nigerian artists who do just that. life like creations made of sawdust. the material that's plentiful in lagos. to plentiful says nigerian artist. it's a sign of how many trees are being cut down nigeria's forests are shrinking the artist uses the sawdust to highlight the problem mixed with water it can be molded into all kinds of animals and insects from spiders to big cats. crying because.

you're. being taken away by the monkeys to be a crime you've got a. pretty awareness programs we have power and control. his works cost between 20600 euros apiece he sells them directly from his studio or on mine. all a con nashik on has won numerous awards both for his works and his commitment to the environment. and how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website oh send us a tweet. hash tag doing your bit. we share your story. we now talk about one of the world's greatest waste disposal services i'm talking about the one provided by ball joes these governors are not only willing they are eager to do the

dirty work of cleaning up carcasses found in the wild of course and did you know that there are 23 different species of the bot a cause of the ones suddenly for too many of them they are on the street but the fox vultures play a vital role in keeping ecosystems healthy which makes them well worth protecting let's take a look. oh the health of africa's 11 vulture species artists hearing on the brink of extinction the environmental and nature kenya has been observing the developments in east africa it's distressing because without these scavengers dead animals would rot wherever they dropped and that could upset. what is a very much important in. cleaning the environment we call them the. undertaker the clean the environment all the dead carcasses and by doing this they stop the

spread of diseases diseases like rocks. and all of that nature kenya introduced a vulture conservation program in them aside mara nature reserves in 2014 it's a mystery spread awareness of the crucial role vultures play. this group of must work is nature kenya's vulture ambassadors they explained in villages where the dead cow all go to spoil i grew chemicals in order to kill pettit says that threaten their livestock all of the animals that feed on the caca poison that include vultures so as i travel into i fear to go into my region for example in my location i usually go to. any one of the conflict when there is a conflict. but it should be for its place and we actually sometimes take the carcasses of those. classic kill animals and we put them aside and you can.

actually talk to the owner of the animal no 2 ways when. support from villages and their leaders is key to the ngos campaign the assistant chief of one village tells us that battles between humans and animals are only going issue in the area. there is a lot of conflict animals are being killed by live. well leopards people outside getting killed by elephants and lions. are presents a serious challenge for us here a bit of a conflict incident awareness and i mean to beat a few. but you often the main victims of these conflicts of vultures and that's the environmentalists message to put an end to the agonizing that nature kenya also cooperates with the mara reserves ranges. i think the biggest challenge is the issue of reporting like this is of poisoning we normally don't get

a lot of reports from the community because they know that it's a crime and so a lot of this go unreported. but reporting the cases would get the conservation is the chance to save the birds that's why keeping communication channels open is important and. also supported by bird live international the program is focused mainly on east africa because that's where vulture death rates are especially high the campaigns push to improve the exchange of information is now starting to yield results we're getting reports on one human to live conflict and also responses to. what voices poisoning and by these some voters have been saved because there is. a poison in response protocol that has been followed in case off in the. poisoning incident. this

yeah an international initiative was launched with the goal of reducing vulture moats alice in africa by 50 percent within the next decade. but for it to work it's by so that the local communities are also on board right. so true you need 2 more 2 big communities to take part in a course of action activities especially when it gets to plastic so many cities are drowning in later and the plastic is mauled by a degradable it just hung around for many years in ever smaller pieces on particles so raising awareness is the name of the game let's go to senegal to meet a monster out to drawing attention to the problem which during coronavirus period is easier said than done. oh oh.

model for his hard to change tack in his fight against plastic waste with the world in the grips of a pandemic he's only 2 right now is his smartphone but that's not likely to draw nearly as much attention. this is what he surely looks like more do it in a girl's mostly non anti plastic complain for more than 15 years he's been going around schools neighborhoods in markets like this one in the car and swapping plastic bags for paper lines instead of the remainder of work. what some people are put off by his unusual appearance he usually gets his message across. with a new trial for a big man he don't take this bugsy just want to show a little time a team to stop blasting and use this instead. he ties the plastic bags he gets to his suit to stop them from polluting the environment the car like many cities in the world has a plastic pollution problem i don't 10 percent of the cars worst is plastic best

and most of it ends up in the streets model for oil doesn't hesitate to engage people in conversation is made you know goodness so she's already switched to paper cups. through an association he heads more do wants to achieve a 0 was sent to go and help people find alternatives such as making their own bugs out of fabric something that's relatively easy to do here so. i literally wondered if. everyone can do it go to the fabric stand and buy some fabric ask a tailor to make you a bag when it gets a bit dirty you can wash and reuse it several times it's much better than using a plastic bag that took one second to make 20 seconds to use and because 400 years of pollution of. very many good news are still recovering there are still more do

tapes of plastic in the ground and i'll be behind the you encouraging them to be an example in this. case of commerce. once the equivalent of a rest restrictions are lifted would do we'll be able to continue his work in honest in the military perhaps the growing awareness of hygiene will go some way towards winning the battle against plastic west. so. it is good to know that we can all make a difference even in small local ways sadly that is all we help way today or africa we hope you enjoyed the show as much as we did it is a goodbye from me sundered from kampala the capital of uganda and i'll be looking forward to seeing you once again next week. we look forward to being with you for new additional rico africa next week in the meantime you can visit us on social media or send us your thoughts on him by. mental issues that concern you goodbye
