that is all for now i will be back at the top of the next hour with join me if you can but steve these days absence of business see it takes out. a. gentleman with debbie and any time any place. video never. have had the benefit of quite the. songs to sing along to download it is to come from super. to.

have varied courses kind of into active exercise is hardly an abundant d.w. don't come slashdot atlanta on facebook in the uk still. german for free with the devil you. know the world welcomes 2021 and the new customs border between britain and the e.u. goods were still moving on new year's day even as truckers face new crossing procedures look at efforts on both sides to keep things flowing. also on the show crowbars vaccines drive a global recovery in 2020 a financial correspondent looks at the year ahead. well welcome to the show in berlin it's good to have you with us well it's official the u.k. is out. the e.u.

customs union and single market and all eyes are now on the new customs border crossing procedures in place the truckers face long lines slowing deliveries or will traffic flow smoothly there are already concerns on both sides. with the clock ticking down on 2020 and a new year approaching this is what britain's future with the european union will play out the new pit stop at the euro tunnel a brand new facility where trucks are processed with paperwork no driver has seen in decades midnight prada historic moment not least for the 1st driver to cross here amazing. this is to be for the 1st trial not only for new and for that i would for but it is it you know for the. ok. it all seemed like a logistical nightmare the weeks before bricks it had seen thousands of trucks strained in lines extending for miles many rerouted to

a local airfield their future unclear london and brussels reached a final trade agreement only days before the new year meanwhile tunnel operators were doing their best to get their act together. the 1st truck passed through as expected just after midnight the teams were there systems are ready so there you go a few minutes of waiting at the stop we give a small gift to the 1st driver who went through so it's a very calm atmosphere everything's ready the teams are active everything's going well tonight. well sort off it seems not everyone was ready for the change of pace and the 1st shuttle through the tunnel made it to calling on the french side of the channel with only 17 trucks on board that's half the usual capacity. or and for more of those i have my colleague rob watts here in studio rob

good morning so it's been hours since we've had this customs border customs force on the rise between the u.k. and the e.u. what can we say is there chaos or is that space we're going slow at this point well 5th just a few hours since big ben told 11 o'clock instead of its usual midnight and let's face it not a lot has happened and it's new year's eve it's very new year's day even very early in the u.k. not a lot of business going on we have had the 1st trucks experiencing though these customs checks they have actually taken effect the 1st truck was a 62 year old rumanian called tom and he was a cali he got waved through by the matter of count a after having a barcode scanned and it all went very smoothly he didn't think it was minutes hours how long that seconds saying you know the as i was just saying this is not normal traffic and it's not going to be until next. week because we've also got the weekend coming up so the true impact of these new checks is only going to become apparent when we get through to next week and the amount of paperwork that there's

going to be is significant i mean the road toward haulage association which represents british truck drivers says 220000000 extra bits of paperwork and have to fill it in this year because of these new checks and people who have been trading seamlessly across the e.u. u.k. border up until now off for the very 1st time facing this tyrant hook yeah absolutely and there is almost certainly going to be some teething problems ok so down the road these are these guys are all taking goods to businesses what does this mean for businesses on both sides of the border if there are backups well we know already that can be great problems for businesses i mean we experience that to some extent just last week when the french closed border of the coronavirus the u.k. strains the calling it we saw long lines thousands upon thousands of lorries queuing . and you know we were so good standing of late. you know there are some manufacturing go organizations that work on this just in time basis that means that

they need pots for example for cars to arrive right now because it holds up everything else if they don't and they're facing possible delays but they have been working to try and mitigate that's already by buying an extra stop there extra deliveries for a lot of companies yesterday to avoid these changes and there are going to be extra freight flights it cetera so the full extent of this change will become apparent next week all right rob wants to go to business thanks for joining us. thought it's not just border crossings that have changed with u.k.'s departure fisherman on both sides of the english channel face new quotas for their catch starting on new year's day and they're having to learn the new rules quickly. captain fritz flint is in cook's cabin getting ready for the 1st catch since the breaks a transition period ended his ship is one of the most modern to sail the north sea captain and crew are relieved the deal is done at least now they know the ground rules. i think has crossed it all works out otherwise we'd all be out of a job for

a while it's not good when they say they can't reach an agreement we've already been laid up for 2 months the norwegians kicked us out too it's not nice we're waiting with bated breath we've got families to think about. a few metres away fence bosc on a schmidt pours over the new deal he's been at it for hours. it's keeping me busy as opposed to. while schmidt reads flint and his crew give the boat a once over. they're ready to go. but the deal means massive cuts in british waters for cook to fish germany's last dedicated fishing fleet. just skim through the parts about cotton polic will have 20 percent less catch that means we need 2 boats fewer in the next 5 years which is why i fought so your video

. on the british side small scale fishermen on the english channel are afraid they won't benefit from the deal with the e.u. but in scotland the situation is quite different that's where most of the fish are caught by large vessels anyway and that's where the british profit the most from the quota increase castoff in cooktop from the e.u. this makes its way through the north sea on course for norwegian waters at least this catch is guaranteed but the ball still doesn't know what the new year will bring does he have enough people on january 1st we don't know who's allowed in norwegian waters norway said as long as the u.k. and e.u. haven't reached an agreement no one's allowed in. the last days of 2020 were turbulent ones for a fisherman around the north sea and despite the breaks the deal there's no promise that the waters will be any calmer for europe's fishermen in 2021.

day with global trade a global shortage of shipping containers is threatening supply chains and driving up container prices which have tripled in some parts and that in turn is threatening to undermine recovery from the pandemic. as one of the largest traders ever to steer its way into hambrook harbor on route between asia and europe it can transport. around 20000 containers but at the moment there's a shortage of shipping containers worldwide the coronavirus pandemic has thrown the global rotation of containers into disarray. at the same time china's export economy is running at full speed again pushing maritime shipping to the limit. the price of a container from the far east to europe has almost tripled in recent months of bonanza for shipping companies but german transport company lloyd has come under

fire for the high prices. today it is very clear that there is more demand than there is supply and it of course results in higher prices at the moment but we should not forget that shipping has been making losses for a very long time and we have hard lot for example will probably our cost of capital for the 1st time in 10 years. high demand in the u.s. makes problems worse for european importers routes between asia and the west coast of the us a more lucrative for shipping companies so more ships are sent on those trips german companies could lose out and the global competition for scarce freight capacity. that we're criticizing the fact that what happens here is upsetting entire supply chains in europe current supply chains can't even meet the current demand and we're running the risk that the economy's recovery after the

pandemic is in extreme danger chuffed not cool or no extreme if you notice. it affects consumers too many products manufactured in asia could become more expensive or unavailable for weeks in case of bikes especially even retailers are already feeling the strain of overstretched supply chains. you still don't have any delivery dates from one of our main suppliers they only see 2nd or 3rd quarter that affects us wish talk to them about their reasons it seems they're not getting parts delivered and can't assemble their bikes can you get a huge one. with no end to the supply crisis in sight lloyd has its entire fleet in operation and free cargo space remains a hot commodity germany's largest shipping company is predicting even higher container prices giving them even larger profits and 2020 of around

2700000000 euros. of the markets now and the question what's in store for 2021 our financial correspondent frank de takes a look at whether vaccines will indeed drive a worldwide economic recovery. if the year 2020 was all about the coronavirus and lockdowns this year promises to be about vaccines and a return to normalcy the pharma industry created several vaccines in record time it's about getting those shots into the arms of people all around the world global markets or impressive rallies last year despite the pandemic wreaking havoc vaccine breakthrough suggest market participants could ignore the immediate pains and look forward to a swift post pandemic recovery the jury is still out on how global stock markets will fare this year some experts say that the markets have already factored in a vaccine ledger coverage others say there is still

a lot of steam left however days little doubt when it comes to shares in travel and tourism companies airline stocks took a battering last year as a pandemic broad international travel to a virtual halt they could be ready for takeoff once restrictions are lifted and then there is the biden factor the incoming u.s. president is seen as less combative and more predictable than president trump and that would be a big relief for global markets which are still reeling from trans trade wars and that means global trade is likely to continue its impressive post pandemic recovery last year saw a 9 percent slump but the w.t. who expects global good straight to right 7 percent in 2021 that bodes well for germany's export reliant economy the global recovery has so far been well supported by government cash and ultra cheap loans from central banks any premature tightening there could spell doom for markets and the mutating why this may yet

throwing a ball or 2 but fingers crossed. financial correspondent ashutosh pandit there in frankfurt and that's it for our show thanks for watching. an animal living together and unspoiled nature nelson only a rainy cofounded national life the only african wildlife conservation center run by the mass my community but since the coronavirus pandemic they have faced many more challenges than usual needs a lot of them shoot seen their conservation movement to find out. alternatives in africa.

we speak different languages we fight for different things that's fine but we all stick up for freedom freedom of speech and freedom of press. giving freedom of choice global news that matters d. w. made for mines. taking for your own hands for yourself on the environment that's often the key to success especially during this difficult times on today's edition of the who africa we will introduce you to a lot of different people who are doing just that with various initiatives to help b.n. bob welcome to the show i know it's a week coming to you from lagos and i'll be saying

a big hello to my colleagues sound in combat hello sound. thank you mia to a one welcome for. nice sundra to know video here in kampala uganda you are absolutely right near to on the topic we'll meet the messiah in kenya diverse in egypt and so much more here's what you can look forward to in the next half an hour . we show you the potential big data to protect the environment. you also learn about how designers and spain are recycling old material into. a used to grow delicious mushrooms in ghana. but must we have a look to the northern desert where the effects of climate change are increasingly not civil in the area around on the slow it is dusty it is getting harder for

farmers to cultivate they learnt average rainfall throughout the year has gone down water has become a luxury few odd few a pharmacy and have a sufficient amount of these precious resource as they are forced to use water more effectively the people in this area aren't getting creative. it takes a lot of water to irrigate his olive groves and vegetables so choosy and farm machinery that you have a house 3 systems to collect rainwater. he owns 90 hectares of land which is a lot for the cairo one region. 6 liters per 2nd down to the fields and some of the system runs for 16 to 17 hours a day we use less water in the cooler winter months the still enough rain and with

our well we always have enough water. in this way. not everyone's situation is as comfortable. just 10 kilometers away beyond these mountains life is much harder. for most families have to walk several kilometers to get to the nearest water source 'd 'd to cover their daily needs they might have to make a number of trips back and forth. the jobs are due to requires 250 liters of water every day just for his animals and his fields. he needs an additional 40 meters for himself his wife and their 3 children. and one more thing no it's really tough for the people who live in this region it takes everyone so much time to fetch water we're tired our children can't carry on doing this every day it's a burden on the entire region. we still have no running water at home that affects

our quality of life it's so hard we're all trying to find solutions and ahead of. systems that collect rainwater could offer the people has some relief. and now hundreds of being built with the help of a german development agency. until now a large part of the rainwater head was going on you just. catch the rain water that runs off the houses and it can be used as drinking water for irrigation to. the farmers can use it to grow our mons all over and rosemary which don't require that much water. as the agency also advises farmers and has set up what it calls water for as constructive strategies are developed and farmers can discuss which plants they

could that would use less water. we have a really unusual situation in the region we're in now. basically no ground water left because too much of it has been used up over the years. so the farmers are now having to resort to stored water. but getting water to store is also a problem. it hasn't rained much in the past 4 years farmers get their water from this impoundment dam it's a price more than half a 1000000 people and. it has water levels decline it's being pumped further and further across the country. and that has a direct impact on the people who live here. pressure is mounting even on the pharmacy didn't think they have to worry about that water

supply. in some places water is actually being stolen. the wrong and estimated $20000.00 illegal wells in china. that's why raising awareness of the problem is so important if nothing changes farmers and that animals will no longer be able to survive in these mountains. and then the region might soon become uninhabited. using our resources wisely will be the growth. in the coming decades in fact the. change of direction in many areas including textile production and up cycling is a new buzzword one clothing designer in the spine of. everything he can get his hands on from plastic bottles to items labeled his motivation there is no plan to be. transformed into

cruelty jackets plastic bottles become background. just 2 of the items made by the label. sneakers and jackets most everything in this madrid shop is made from recycled materials. founder is going to make sure he got the idea for the label 2009. the mission want to mention was the frustration with the amount of waste we're creating in the world i believe the most sustainable think too was not to keep on using natural resources so recycling could be a solution if we were to make a new generation of recycled products with the same color. and if that is the best . that we could demonstrate there's no need to keep on the independent but to get a trial but we can transform what other people waste into polymer yarn fabrics and

products. these flip flops are made of old car tires they're 100 percent recycled and don't even need glue the labels reveal what goes into these products. all this labeled we try always to put in the in our comments believe it or not this one says that when 235 grams of discarded fishing nets to make one yards of fabric . going to choose hoping to raise awareness of environmental issues and at the same time create fashion that looks good. premise journalist brenda chavez reports on sustainability and observes the trend. the past 7 months it's starting to catch on but it didn't really pick up speed until the annual figures for textile waste became more common. now the industry is beginning to react to the problem that we're having with plastic. and i'll take a well says it's recycled over 330 tons of waste taken from the sea the label

cooperates with spanish fishermen. make other ways from the sea for the fashion house. old fishing nets and plastic bottles are processed to make polymer yarn that shows into the fabrics used to make new clothes. the label wants to make an environmentally conscious lifestyle part of its image its wogan because there is no planet being. a. part of a whole lifestyle if the whole 0 waste movement is growing and people want to produce less waste and have less impact on the environment that i am innocent but then i am going to. a fashion trend or the future of clothing. how do you go in a chinese continuing news experiments with cycling and hope. to catch on in more mediterranean countries. now and they're awesome very different plastic pieces in

that report and it's hard to believe that most of them are made from old classics some are some of them like this because of already seen plastic waste in the sea is especially helpful for walmart of marine life including coral reefs in egypt over $300.00 professional die of us took advantage of a corner virus lucked out to clean up the popular tourist resorts the team spent about 3 days over water here's this week's doing your bit is evil. egypt's red sea coast is blessed with one of the world's most stunning coral reefs it's a hot spot for divers and tourists. but plastic and other trash endangered the sensitive underwater ecosystem. to counteract this egypt's chamber of diving and water sports initiated underwater cleanups during the cold 19 locked down.

on my way. divers from sharm el sheikh and who got a saw as an opportunity to clean the sea a chance to get rid of the trash and do something good while they had time on our hands. more than 350 professional divers were eager to volunteer. divers in the hob removed plastic film and other debris that could suffocate the coral. in who got a decade's worth of garbage were removed from a marina and taken to local waste disposal companies for sorting. many resorts in egypt reopened in mid july but from now on. some of the diving will be devoted to keeping the coral reefs clean. and how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website send us

a tweet hash tag doing your best. we share your story. is tourism a curse or blessing this is a question that comes up in many tourists hot spots in kenya appears divided among the messiah population they are about 3000000 a science or 2 are many of them live from tourism as rangers gods or for god i guess a near term when the coronavirus put an end to tourism it also put an end to this source of income members of the not. obvious in kenya are thinking of new ways to weather the storm together they'll do what ever it takes so that they preserve the environment aren't way of life. these women are sifting through the river of the national icon someone see located right next to canyons

famous mossimo national park this tributary flows into the mary. nelson only real initiative the cleanup he pays the women from the nearby villages $5.00 a day for their work. this is the most important watershed in this part of the mara the local community relies on this water for there are usage for cooking cleaning and even also the livestock and our wildlife unfortunately the revised heavily polluted because of the activities of. the areas upstream are there tourist comes all the way to that only really and his wife were both born in this area because founded national life and who suffer see run by the local muslim community unlike in other natural results might lead people in lifestyle quick ceased here. national life itself

is a very important corridor allowing wildlife to migrate especially. elephants which normally access this area fall by thing and also. they grow migration passes through this corridor all the way to the other consequences. these area has always belonged to the local community but with growing communities and 1st land the wildlife was vanishing to create the conservancy 4 years ago the community members pulled down their fences and 2 years later the word life returned. the biggest problem facing wildlife today in kenya is what actually porting as people might actually think of it it is the lack of space and that space is with communities so communities have

to be at the center of conservation the members of the conservancy largely rely on funding from donors and only a few of its income is generated by tourism but this year they called on a pandemic has never stepped to the region's economy without the tourist that visit the mara each year many only rely on their livestock as they lost their jobs us ranges in hotels or traders on the local markets. everything has become difficult getting food is a problem there are diseases all around us just locked down at home and conti the villain a little bit about what boom through crowd funding the national a team has been able to provide food aid to the villages it's a lifeline for now it will take a long time before to our east will start coming back by their visit they help to protect kenyans wildlife but conservation is like only riyal

worry that this may no longer work. so we need. a paradigm shift in their conservation movement to find out other are alternatives to sustain the important work that is done in conservation it's work in progress but o'leary ja hopes that involving the local people in this process will build more resilient communities and help nature to. how much trust washes up in kenya's maariv which areas of the ocean have the biggest plastic with problems you may be wondering and we are wondering as well all these can be seen not only from the ground level but also from way up on high resolution stiff life images this summer where platforms and abs that make these complex that are available we have a simple. knowing where action is what's needed also helps us to fight against

pollution get you out and have a go. lucian in city parks that was the aim of the online call which hundreds of people in berlin followed the clean up call was based on data collected by volunteers who had discovered many polluted places in the german capital plan a supported the call the startups focus is environmental protection. climate change is not one problem climate change is a lot of problems that are intertwined and our data approach helps us actually untangle this complexity we use the data to pinpoint exactly the locations and the types of issues that happen around the world that need to be immediately. the berlin based startup analyzes data from research institutions around the world . based on its findings plan

a contact individuals companies and community groups in the affected areas world wide. they publicize their project and allow users to help fund them. data analysis can help to identify and address environmental problems more quickly. litter base is an online database that's open to everyone graphic show the results of more than a 1000 scientific studies on marine pollution. on a world map it's easy to see where research expeditions have already taken place. the latest results from the worldwide scientific community are regularly fed into the database. the aim is to make the global issue of marine pollution more accessible and easily understood including to nonscientists.

nowadays and over there if anything anymore especially because of social media and people like to have a picture of having these maps and these are notices graphs are providing useful information in the really short time to the public. another example the global forest change database at the university of maryland uses a map to show the state of the world's forests since 2013 users have been able to call up info based on satellite images they can see the effects of forest fires illegal logging and reforestation over long periods the platform is also dedicated to protecting forests and their inhabitants it combines satellite technology with open data and crowdsourcing. data platforms make the problems more visible and with an app everyone can do their bit to help tackle them the c o 2 tracking and reforest on focuses on individual consumption and it gives you the

chance to create and manage your own forest. eco app is similar enter your daily habits with a few clicks and the app will calculate your carbon footprint and show you how to shrink it it also invites you to be a climate hero by supporting carbon offset projects that help people and the planet . for the digital activists in berlin mobilizing people is an important factor in tackling the global problem the climate for dickson has made people. at. unclear on what they need to do i think because of the language that is being used we speak. in a way that doesn't necessarily explain to people what the issues are we should be focusing more on actionable advices rather than simply speaking with big words about the issues. with the help of these apps and data platforms we can all contribute to the protection of the environment. high trade but we the low

carbon footprint that is amazing isn't it speaking of low carbon footprint our next report is a bold. stuff follow who goes my shrooms in ghana but in a very unusual resource a great new year to you all about how it works right. i believe i do sandra you're basically sawdust wise. course i'm a lot of patients. if you want to muslims this way then your work needs to be very precise and. this woman knows her fungus especially. business woman for. money just one of ghana's biggest commercial mushroom farms she started 5 years ago with just 10 bags today the company generates 150000 stone bags

in each production cycle we supply a lot of. chinese restaurants. so key. restaurants and also some of the households. a lot of the mushrooms. not much is needed to grow mushrooms spawn and in this case. there's plenty of prof tongues. every day but feel areas in guyana have been useable waste collection and sawdust takes a long time to composed. so most of it gets thrown on to try ships and burn to get that with all the garbage hardly anyone wants it apart from this mushroom grower.

the mushrooms are very clear. that their mom to come for. air pollution exhaust from traffic and trash burning is an unhealthy mix. reducing the amount of air pollution was something. to come to concentration which is such a mushroom growing operation that on many. other substrate the production. and i told. every couple of months. arrives at the farm. one of the challenges we face as a mushroom producing company is the transportation of the role much from the so meals to the farm site meanwhile the sawdust in itself is absolutely free

preparing the substrate is simple yet labor intensive the sawdust is 1st mixed with rice bran and quicklime this mixture is then pressed into thousands of small bags fish will be the proof medium for the form guy in barrels the bags are he did a 100 degree celsius to kill of microorganisms only then is some straight inoculated with a mushroom spawn it takes at least 6 weeks for the 1st food bodies to pop up i will $100.00 way now both men and women but i haven't the i have like 2 groups coming the morning and evening the band has grown german the coronavirus pandemic. eating mushrooms is considered to be good for the immune system and because of their relatively high protein content more and more people see them as a heavy substitute for meat. always to mushrooms cost

a lot less than beef which is another reason they are gaining in popularity. was lucky made with believe all checking this is amazing and i love it if more people produced and consumed regionally grown like. mushrooms it could have a sustainable effect on the gun as environment. they look great i mean to try that maybe it will somehow. we have the show under you've taken away some ideas and inspiration that's all for this time goodbye and. i'm already looking forward to next week i couldn't agree more it is a good bye for me to hear in kampala uganda don't forget to check out of social media platforms on africa website we would love to get a veitch a visit from you my name is founder and i'll be looking forward to having your

company once again next week.
