be a concrete solutions monday was a massage and a look at detail for you. this is data news live from a record number of covert 9 tain related deaths in germany as the country goes into another lockdown the death toll tops 950 schools and non-essential businesses shot for at least 3 and a half weeks also coming up. a crowd that already

seen opposition leaders step down a chicken off sky except the sakura prize in frost holes given in recognition of her movements ongoing fight for democratic change. and an uncertain fate mothers of the schoolboys abducted in northern nigeria wife in news as the government says it's now negotiating with the kidnappers. i'm rebecca riches welcome to the program germany's top infectious disease institute says the number of covert 9 tain related deaths reported over the last day rose to a record 952 great news comes just as the country and has 100 national lockdown schools and non-essential businesses will remain closed until at least january 10th and the government is urging people to limit their contacts as much as possible. in

much of germany hospitals and now at that breaking point. the number of patients needing intensive care has hit record highs as has the number of deaths from coke at 19. the latest figures showed 952 people died from the virus over the last day that's almost a 1000 more families who be grieving instead of celebrating together this christmas . meanwhile many others were rushing to buy last minute gifts before wednesday's lockdown. for health reasons all i can say is that it's the right thing to do we can't wait until it all falls to pieces of the right people seem pretty stressed about the whole thing you can feel it but we're finished we got our shopping done. non-essential shops and now close the doors and there's hope a different kind of christmas present may be coming soon germany is waiting for the 1st corona virus vaccines to be approved but so far not even the health minister

knows when that will happen. so not so national authorities are supporting the european authorities to the best of their ability the goal is to secure approval before christmas. germans have watched patiently as the vaccine invented in the country has been rolled out already in the u.k. and the u.s. mass immunization centers are currently being equipped millions of doses of vaccine our own order. those with the heightened risk of infection will be invited 1st the elderly as well as frontline medical workers establishing priority is key in distributing the vaccine. many people wanted as quickly as possible but there isn't enough at least in the beginning so that's why we need clear and transparent priorities the vaccine is being kept under key and lock and it's very highly protected the vaccine is coming to germany but unlike with father christmas himself nobody can be sure yet when to expect

a. break down what's changed in germany under this latest stricter lockdown starting today all non-essential shops are closed but supermarkets pharmacies as well as banks are allowed to remain open schools a shot deal the 10th of january and companies are being encouraged to allow their staff to work from home where possible chancellor angela merkel also has made an appeal for people to limit their social contacts during the holidays the number of people allowed to meet indoors will remain restricted to 5 not including children under 14 and in anticipation of new year's celebrations sales of fireworks have also been banned. let's bring in chief political correspondent melinda craned is standing by at one of burnham's most popular shopping districts linda i was also one of those people out and about yesterday trying to do some last minute shopping it was really busy assuming it's a little different out there today. absolutely eerily quiet if you know what this

absolutely beloved shopping district would normally look like i'm standing on germany's famous course. behind me is a landmark in all of europe europe's largest department store also berlin's absolute landmark the car david a if you were here then you probably saw that yesterday there was still a line stretching around the block people trying to get in there to do their last minute shopping now the grocery department is still open but as you can see the entrance is absolutely devoid of shoppers and in fact all we are seeing are lone pedestrians an occasional couple or family behind me if i go over here you can see germany's famous memorial church the good death. perhaps known to some of our viewers is the place where the attack on the christmas market occurred 4 years ago

it too was the sight of people drinking mold wine enjoying a little fellowship and christmas treats until yesterday evening now absolutely shut down so instead of the 100000 people who would normally be visiting the cod a day on a day like this there are perhaps a few 100. in the crane's band has from berlin's famous conti thank you very much. let's bring in dr viola plays a man not she's a physicist at germany's max planck institute dr plays a minute pleading for a strict lockdown to come into place much earlier than today but politicians ignored the whole has has today come to light. who roll up and obviously would have been nicer to have a straight lockdown in the denver event it wouldn't have to talk about a lot over christmas we're discussing a lot at the main rebel whether it's possible to be 2345 or 6 people over christmas

it's a family holiday. but on the other hand it's a time to also ruled the shops the businesses the schools anyway costars and tends it is at least a reasonable time that i found. a good speaking specifically of exponential growth and could you explain in simple terms if possible what the government hopes to achieve with this lockdown so what is very clear from already logical thinking you know we've been made and while the growth of calculations about it it's absolutely clear that as soon as a case numbers are low you know this is a threshold of 30 piety for a few cases when the control is much easier why is that we have the health authorities that do the testing they do they contact tracing and this soon as these connected and they can be faster than the virus if case numbers are too high we don't have sufficient tests we don't have sufficient capacity for conflict tracing their origins are slow after the virus and it's absolutely crucial especially

because of the asymptomatic cases that these people identified before they continue spreading the virus so well and he has a 3 to 5 days of integration time and it would be as i said extremely important to help it off or excuse me through this contact tracing faster and this information right now the head of the world medical association has said we'll be saying much longer lockdowns despite the beginning of vaccinations is he right. well that's nice it depends on home once it's here and there isn't how much new t.v. and how much the u.s. innocence stops the spreads what is absolutely clear from the models is if there are. corners 3.3 and only 50 percent of the people get vaccinated it effectively reduces our by 50 percent so we know down to 1.71.7 is still above the critical one so it will not be sufficient to

return completely to a normal life or just on that that's a question that we like to ask all our experts because it's the one that everyone wants to know when can we expect to see vaccinations allowing a return to normal life. this is a very difficult question and we don't have to go to europe to do any populations on that i'm sorry. or i will adopt a veil of phase a month thank you very much for your expertise. let's take a look now at some other developments in the pandemic the drug regulator in the united states says its analysis shows the modern of vaccine is safe and 94 percent effective the data means the vaccine could get emergency approval in days and could be rolled out next week south korean officials say there are only 3 intensive care hospital beds left in its capital seoul a city with a population of nearly 26000000 the country has reported a record surge in cases in recent days and scientists from the world health organization are planning to visit the chinese city of woo han where the outbreak

was 1st reported i want to find out how the virus moved from animals to humans. the european parliament has awarded belarus in opposition latest atlanta chicken off sky the a use top human rights prize on behalf of her democracy movement. said the award was an important marker of the fight for freedom in belarus he's been living in exile since denouncing the results of the presidential election in oldest after protesting the results of the presidential election opposition supporters have been demonstrating in the streets of minsk every week. day correspondent nick conley has reported extensively from belarus and he joins me now make what is his prize main for the push for more democracy in belarus. well this is obviously an important symbolic gesture by european lawmakers trying to express their support for that democratic opposition in belarus it's a pass on the back definitely it comes with

a bit of money but this is more of the same for the past few months with the leader . opposition the winner of that election she has been getting the red carpet treatment wherever she goes in europe and she frankly has had enough she has in recent days really made very plain that she wants to see actions following these words that the sanctions that have been put in place against the pollution regime are not enough there's mainly travel bans asset freezes for the top players in that regime a regime that has been used to sections being imposed time and time again she wants to see things that will have a direct impact economic sanctions that could really hurt that companies really see that regime run out of money and visa for each of the russians who need to leave the country so i think a sense that this is definite and nice thing to have but it's not the big step that they're really hoping for. all these anti-government demonstrations have been going on since august and you caught up with one of the young protesters a 20 year young woman to get a sense of where this movement is for months on let's take

a look at what she had to say. because the russia started coming out to march on sundays is as much a part of everyday life as having breakfast a neighborhood just won't keep quiet it's here that you finally get to meet your neighbors for all the demonstrative good humor fear is never very far away in minsk most people here don't want to be recognized you know you agree to be filmed where in the mosques one person who is willing to take that risk is media 20 she's only haven't known one leader and xander. was mr bush back in august we felt the change was really close it felt like it was in. reach just a day or 2 more and everything would change. the years for kids but the 4 months later when not where we wanted to be a member of congress to let our. police emerge out of on mock bans scattering the

marches in all directions dozens of smaller demonstrations in parallel across the capital means making the police's job that much harder for the hundreds of protesters still routinely arrested each week and the stakes are rising the courts hand out a harsher sentences. look at the previous year only really hits you when you get home and find out about what's happened online i have a suitcase for jail packed and ready at home in case they come and arrest me i know what to do. eventually the protesters recruited continue this time without the help of modern technology so often protest days on the loose the government has switched off mobile phone networks. the reaction to their protest from the locals is overwhelming. number. one time we were running from the police a woman let us into her house to hide there were about 30 of us that did it in

front of us involved says and she didn't let us leave till the next morning she was so worried with gets arrested. that was really brave that was really risky what she did this is the only thing he's ever seen. but not everyone is as impressed. as the march reaches its conclusion the question is as ever how to get home without getting arrested. because it really feels like we've changed as a country that whatever happens now that can't be reversed can look appears different but. no one can say with any certainty how long these protests will continue or what they might still achieve before most to. protesting giving up doesn't seem to be an. incredibly brave young woman how have the protests evolved since they 1st began in august. as this government crackdown

has intensified over the protestors have had to react i'll just give you one example when i was minutes in minsk in the summer you would see the white and red flags the opposition on balconies everywhere you went hanging from trees from power lines every way it was really visible everywhere you went in the city now back then the government sent out city employees with cranes with all kinds of quipping to try and bring down those flags a kind of cats and mouse game they would take down those flags and next morning people would put them back up but that really has changed those flags are disappearing as police are going to arrest people just for hanging out a symbol of protest a small as a flag from their own balconies the big protest we saw in the summer hundreds of thousands people in the center minutes with their children with their pets it was always going to fester what was a girl really didn't feel is feeling the power in the crowds they are now meeting in much smaller groups we saw in that protest marching in the neighborhoods to try and say safe and show and spread the police more to add we're enjoying only so

definitely an adaptation that but the i think the important thing is that 4 months on these protests are continuing what stood out about these protests as you've been following them over the past several months and where can you say way you think they might be going. i think this is a really profound cultural change as in that piece medea said there about a mental change so whatever the police does however the regime cracks down and tries to keep people in their homes off this does seem to me like a country that has changed this was a country it was always a really a place where people didn't talk to strangers or people distrustful people fear people they didn't know and didn't have some personal connection to but it was really when i was there in the late summer it seemed like you to transform people striking up conversations on the streets demonstrations people different ages different generations different path. crown's really talking about the kind of country they want to live in and even if these demonstrations are now made more difficult you see people moving online you have neighborhood what's up some other messenger groups where people are discussing politics day or day one lady said to

me that she had lived in her building for years and not known another person that building and now they had met each other at demonstrations and were finally feeling themselves to be a community and a group people who want to change things i think that is something that we're be rolled back and these protests really costing the energy the regime a lot of energy trying to police all this so even though it does look pretty difficult now after months of protests no major change i think if they keep that momentum up this is going to be a serious challenge to lisa look and his 26 years in power when nick conley thanks very much here reporting. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world this hour dozens of police officers were injured in clashes with anti lockdown protesters in ukraine on tuesday demonstrators gathered in care to rally against recently announced coronavirus restrictions non-essential businesses schools and james will be shut from the 8th of january and an f. it to slow the spread of the virus. hungry has amended the definition of family and

its constitution to limit adoption by same sex couples it now defines a family as a female mother and a male father rights groups have attacked prime minister viktor orban has worked to recounts hungary in a move in a more conservative mold since coming to power. u.s. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has congratulated joe biden on his election when in a speech on the senate floor the republican leader ended waits of silence over president donald trump's defeat it came a day after the electoral college finally confirmed victory. officials in nigeria say they're in talks with kidnappers of hundreds of schoolboys in the north of the country or they're not saying whether they're negotiating with the hottest bowker or another group boko haram claimed responsibility on tuesday will than $330.00 boys from

a government secondary school in the northwestern state of katsina a missing if boko haram is behind the abduction this would represent a significant expansion of the group's activities into new areas waiting for news of her child her son one of the boys snatched from a school on friday. if this government is just then we want them to rescue our children because they have the power to do sorry this slow to take action because it's not their children who have been taken they've put us in the situation where parents and grandparents are in absolute confusion they've stopped us from having peace of mind we're totally devastated. by. the missing pupils were boarders at this school in kids who know they were taken in a violent attack by dozens of gunmen with assault rifles while they were asleep in their dormitories. usama is one of the lucky ones he managed to escape the

kidnappers. up i was about to sleep when i started hearing sporadic gunshots and before i could even get outside there were many people there were already outside and so we were asked to go back into a hostel then they said the gunmen are already in the school we even climb the school fence but then these men asked us to go back and we thought these men were soldiers and they were trying to protect us but unfortunately they weren't soldiers . he was all he with. many details of the ride in the school and its aftermath a still unclear. that it at school and other than as i said and is one of the boys that has been abducted we heard that security forces saw a boy surrounded by the gunmen on top of a hill we want the government to help security forces rescue our children we just want to see our boys in whatever condition so that we can have peace of mind at

this stage it's still unsure how long parents like her will have to write. we might remember the images last month of a chinese spacecraft blasting off for the moon when it's due to return to earth in the coming hours carrying fresh samples of moon rocks and debris chinese ground crews are awaiting the landing of the unmanned mission and with it the 1st lunar samples in more than 45 years. chang a 5 was one of the most complicated and challenging missions in china's airspace history when the rocket was launched on november 23rd it was a source of national pride the probe was made up of 4 modules one was the lander which is dug for rocks and soil. the materials were then transferred into a return capsule for the journey back to earth. protocol to we hollowed all of our current lunar program consists of 3 paces orbiting lending and

returning to the 5 will carry out a 3rd face bringing one sample spake of the earth for the 1st time we hope this will be a success for. your mother q. it's the 1st time in 4 decades that material has been brought back from the moon china's space ambitions are no secret and have been growing for years. in 2003 it secured a major breakthrough when it became the 3rd country in the world to send a man into space. 10 years later china hit another milestone successfully landing an un piloted spacecraft on the moon it was the 1st soft landing since the soviet union success in 1976 more chinese cheers in january 29000 in a global 1st lunar probe touching down on the far side of the moon boosting china's

space ambitions mars is also in its sights this year beijing launching. unmanned probe to the red planet. in july china put the final satellite into orbit for its chinese navigation system the country's rival to the u.s. a g.p.s. but this lunar mission to bring back material from the moon was one of china's most ambitious to date. and joining us now from the netherlands is not my corcoran he's senior advisor for science and exploration at the european space agency mark thanks for joining us this is a complex mission it could still end in failure if the spaceship crashes upon landing how challenging is the technical side of this mission i think it's important to realize that china could have done this in a simpler way it could have had

a direct return of luna samples from the surface for example but it's chosen to do it in a way which is complicated because it leads to the next step that leads to the ability to send humans to the mood so for example landing on the surface with an orbiter going around the moon and then rendezvous in without orbits reconnecting with it getting rid of one piece of the spacecraft flying back with another these are all the things that the apollo missions did in the 1960 s. and seventy's so i think it is more challenging than it needs to be for the what it's doing today but for a very very specific purpose is that the main purpose and to put humans on only. well in this case of course they are bringing samples back from an interesting location a place called mom's room curragh in the o.c. honest and which is the ocean of storms on the moon and in fact it's a place that no other mission has been to before whether soviet or american the samples there that the minerals on the moon are much younger than in other

locations so that's actually important for trying to understand the evolution of the moon and what happened there billions of years ago and also it's important because those samples will be as i say different from the ones we brought back before and we're very interested everybody all the international countries interested in going back to the moon are really curious about how to extract resources from the minerals on the moon water oxygen and other things which we can use when we actually go and sit on the moon for a longer period of time. as so you'll be sharing the information but china's been putting so much if it in space exploration in recent years away heading into a future way china leads the race and the u.s. and europe will be struggling to keep up. yeah well yes there's this narrative about the new space race is constant but i actually don't think it's like that atoll we're collaborating very actively with china on scientific missions we've also sent some of our astronauts to train with china so there's a possibility in the future that we might actually fly on the chinese space station

for example and at the same time the united states and europe along with canada and japan and perhaps with russia as well looking to build a thing called the lunar gateway we've been building hardware for years to go back to the moon just delivered that to nasa so it's ready to fly astronauts back to the moon 3 european nationals will be going to the moon in the next decade or so but this is all part i think of a very different approach to lunar exploration and the rest of the solar system a much more collaborative approach so i think yes china's doing very impressive work at the moment it's suited we shouldn't deny that for a moment but it's something which we're all doing together and i think it's very exciting time for space exploration in the next decade in dade not mccolgan from their pain space agency thank you very much my pleasure. now researches in astray i have found that kangaroos can learn to communicate with humans in a similar way to dulux a study showed that the kangaroos used

a gaze to point and asked for help in the study 10 of the 11 months 8 pills stayed at race such as when they couldn't open a box containing food the findings suggest wild animals can also learn to effectively communicate with paypal similar to domesticated animals. she watching date of the news coming up after a short break eco africa the environment program i'll be back at the top of the out with more news headlines thanks for watching.

villagers in kenya were being poisoned by a lead smelting plant a factory that recycling batteries caused illness and death. much filesystem ito far harder to have the facility closed and one of. them to go forward to a day when everyone in the little room would be able to receive treatment. for go.

find a good. the corona virus pandemic. has the rate of infection been developing. what measures are being taken. what does the latest research say. information and context. the coronavirus update the code special monday to friday w. we're all set. to go beyond the obvious. that will move. as we take on the

world. we're all about business stories that matter to you. about something. good to see what ever it takes to go running up. the. same. cut w. . made for mines. hello everyone and welcome to this new edition africa the environment show. coming to you from here and joining me of course is my colleague sandra oh hello sandra hi.

hello everybody thank you all for joining us on the program where we look at stories on how to make planet greener and thereby making it better well here's some of the stories that we'll be looking at today. here about the simple environment projects what is having a big effect in ghana. we will meet a scientist in germany looking to replant land devastated by oil mining. and we'll see how we doing in egypt are returning home was a stain of a way of life. but we begin in rhonda where the prolonged use of illegal on regulated fishing gear has a to the collapse of fish stocks a number of lakes have been left severely understocked and that has they to an increase in money attrition among the local population prices on the local market are also raised an over the last $2.00 decades and that trend is expected to

continue if fish production is not stimulated so rhonda has embarked on a vast operation to restore its 24 lex we went to see how things are coming along. i wonder on the eastern shore of lake hugo it may look idyllic but the fish is of finding more and more difficult to scrape by a lake is severely overfished his are some of the nearly 2 dozen lakes in the country. mainly contains the danes in various types of tilapia official figures see almost 900000 tons of fish record in its waters in 2018 when. accounted for 70 percent of wonders in 10 fish oil but stalks a dwindling. deliberation in previous years a fisherman could catch between 3 to 4 kilograms a day but it is state you can spend

a week on the lake and need billy to kilograms you were a quarter of an it girl. the fish market. because fully grown fish are increasingly scarce juvenile fish are also on sale even though it is against the law and the shortage is also leading to spiralling prices. at the present fish has increased a lot when ever the catch is poor the price per kilo goes up our business is in danger because the prices depend on the fish that is available to us. the drilling peace talks are also adversely affecting lake hughes eco systems this scientist is monitoring the water quality in in city the fish feed of is the numbers declined the guy is able to grow and he in that it's a vicious circle. quantity of that will create. a shadow on water on the top of the water which can produce prevent oxygen to into the poor and the

organism will to die eventually the rundown government aims to tackle the problem with an ambitious program to boost fish stocks. and. we are currently in the process of restocking to. movie and other declining fish species across the lakes in rwanda. tilapia reproduce in the shallows close to the shore. and that makes them highly vulnerable to illegal fishermen old fish. one hatchery is in key gambia in the south of the country it breeds types of fish found in lakes across wonder this tilapia is protecting its freshly hatched offspring in its mouth. we select a good sample of the fish from our lakes and rivers in bring them to these points

to really. talk to the when they reach reproduction age we collect their eggs in the hay cherry. the eggs being removed from these catfish the process does not harm the female. so to sprint is added to the eggs into the incubation pool which is heated to the ideal temperature of 30 degrees celsius so the tiny catfish image so lakeman gets around just south east of the capital kigali is one of the 1st place where the specially bred strike as being released catfish along with virus types of 2 up here. twice a year that is a 2 month ban all makes to allow this talks to cover. bet it's like evil fishes are also hoping that the fish stocks here will be replenished

these also some knowledge in that the problems are partly homegrown is that it's not all fishermen abide by the rules some usenets with the mesh size so find they can be used for mosquito nets the trip everything they come across is a problem but i also think gold parities have some responsibility they should impose strict sanctions which are but penalizing the fish porches will not be enough to ensure that he will recover and there has to be a change in overall awareness if the fish populations be caped stable. all children to come to this. one joint problems and will you like to get in on it as she may be curious. if you could. how will climate change affect us and our children.

w dot com slash water. to europe now where the let us report from the was made so logical going is a sense is the 2020 is said to be one of the shortest records rising temperatures are causing ice in the polar regions to melt and signals to rise threatening to wipe entire areas off the mup. that's right sondra and it's happening at an alarming rate it's all down to global warming caused by rising greenhouse gas emissions worldwide there are many strategies aimed at reducing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere planting trees is one of them but modern technology allows for other creative options to next report from iceland shows. what better place to save the planet from global warming than iceland it has energy to spare

everywhere the ground is in motion scientists call it an act of volcanic area. icelanders have long realized that the country's hot springs can serve as more than tourist attractions. a half hour's drive east of the capital reykjavik lies to help to shape the power station it's been generating electricity and heat from steam since 2006. it's become one of the world's biggest geothermal power plants but there's another reason why scientists entrepreneurs and reporters are now flocking here. they want to meet with out a doctor the c.e.o. of a company called card fix it's working to reverse the greenhouse effect albeit on a small scale basically what's happening is that we're sucking the atmosphere through this machine and the c o 2 sticks to

a specific chemical within. this unit and so what comes out the back is so much cleaner office did. but let's go see it was that. they began using this kind of vacuum cleaner for carbon dioxide a few years ago in one of the pumping stations at the outer daughter explains what happens to the c o 2 so here we have our own underground pipes transporting. busiek to that was captured on the cup to plant and it is all the water and this is then what we inject into the subsurface 700 meters underground the c o 2 then reacts with the bass all drowned and is stored there permanently it's a method that works especially well in the volcanic rock here. this is a piece of yourself a quarter you see the c o 2 both feeling very nice within within the pulse of the fact cheers but also on

the force so gradually this all of these these still open pores could fill up with mineral lists you too depending on how much reenter. the technology is still very expensive it also consumes a lot of water and can only be used in specific terrain still carved fictious convinced that this technology will eventually help to reduce the amount of c o 2 in the atmosphere worldwide few countries in the world are feeling the effects of climate change as acutely as iceland it's once mighty glaciers are shrinking continually iceland's environment minister is taking action the icelandic government aims to make the country c o 2 neutral by 2040 to do this they're relying on new technologies and a belief in ancient sagas we have these stories and i some thought trolls became stones when they if they were exposed to sun. we can save us we are trying to.

turn c o 2 into stone where us troll swear. turn for just a moment but not to say. iceland or snow they can't save the planet on their own but they're developing technologies that other countries can also employ in the future and the idea that believing in elves and trolls can also help does not bother anyone here. and back to africa now when young people get hold of a good idea and start putting it into action they can be unstoppable and when others see that it's making a difference words that gets around amber next thing you know they are on the eco africa doing your bit segment take a look at our heroes this week in gaza. these plastic bottles 5000 an old used to live to the streets of

a crowd now that part of an effort to inspire people at the team a international school to join the recycling revolution the unusual trash collection center was set up by full school girls there was a lot of classic school is what's around the school. looking i should be looking so yeah that's fine. in this school and i mean. the girls spent 3 months collecting trash with the help of the family people from the streets to the beaches and in streams after being cleaned and saw the bottles and strung together and stacked. recycling training consultant mike a few me i look who has been providing assistance. very disappointed when he the plastics are around because he showed that they be poor and. of why this is horrible and why it's hitting our environment the collected waste is sold to

recycling companies with the proceeds helping to fund new environmental projects at the school. then how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send this a tweet. bash tag doing your bit. we share your story. the number of corn about us cases in egypt has gone down significantly since the summer but the country's tourism industries yet to recover that's affected many bad things in particular who work asked for guides or take jobs in hotels and shops in the resorts along the red sea many of them decided to go back to their families and communities in the mountains often seeing all tonnage of the upside to these radical changes that they have

returned to their traditional way of life in harmony with nature and b. and bob. in st catherine home of the job in the a better way and covered 90 has brought tourism to a complete halt. those working in the industry have been left without income many jabaliya have been sent to a more traditional way of life some have gardens that's a wreath 1000 years old so you had newsome hunted this revised his family god into grew food. and if it didn't more than half the job really is here in st catherine working truism. so there are a few other jobs or ways to earn an income. so i've begun to live as our fathers and grandfathers steam from our own gardens. grows various vegetables he also has some grafted trees a technique used widely here. this is a grafted tree we took

a bitter almond tree and grafted a plum tree onto it it's doing well. of. tending to fruit trees is a longstanding tradition amongst the jabaliya bedouin take a madman to degree any only one of the oldest gardens in the area and has been tending to it for decades. he's been encouraging other bedouins to return to their roots. of the modern urban lifestyle does not suit us then it does not appeal to our nature our nature is better when we are there we are. the main challenge the bedouin face in the garden is the lack of rain. water is gone. this year winter brings food on the ground night aquifer but that isn't always the case the people here have to adapt to the water shortages. so i looked at

how you could what grows most here are all men's and pomegranate because they tolerate drought. in the water.
