you know what a wild caught to play in the florida tournament last week but the brits who had an injury plagued last season has now decided it's not worth the risk but he slipped to 122nd in the rankings after playing only 7 matches in 2020. to chew up to date i'll have more at the top of the hour brant visit with national business update in just a minute the. story of prejudice and propaganda. they were called the rhineland bastards born after the 1st world war. their mothers were germans living in the occupied rhineland their father's soldiers from the french colonies the fees for the german children had a hard time because they were a reminder of the german defeat. exclusion and content culminated in forced

sterilization under the nazis. the 1st documentary examines the few traces that remain of their existence. because of them the children of shame. storage january 11th on d. w. . the pandemic has pulled millions of africans into poverty due to the sudden disruption of global supply chains but could it new continent wide free trade zone around their fortunes. also coming up it's the 1st day for the post break the trade deal but europe's fishing industry still faces he is about certainty. and the full back seat wants the world inoculated from code 19 can we expect a v. shaped recovery now financial correspondent looks at the euro. it. was all

a let's do business africa's free trade block is open for business coronavirus delay the launch by half a year but trading is now underway all african nations side up except for euro trade a 34 have ratified it the pact makes the continent the biggest free trade zone in the world a single african market of over a 1000000000 consumers total gross domestic product of more than 2 trillion u.s. dollars it's going to take a lot of work though to reach that potential ironically there's still disagreement on the scrapping of tariffs as many countries rely heavily on that revenue the rules of origin remain a sticking point is well the criteria used to determine the nationality of a product and members still have to create a sufficient transport network to make the most of the deal the agreement could help millions of africans with any great change comes disruption. the catch was

meager and to make it almost sure had to go far out last night when the fishermen used to fish has been cut off by the military the kenyan government is spending a huge deep sea port off their island in the indian ocean. they want to take this song from 2. people in love move make a living from tourism and fishing but they're victims of a new era in the age of africa's street trade zone is set to become an international law just 6 enter soon the excavators and dump trucks will be replaced by cranes thousands of shipping containers will pass through a brand new port sylvester kazoo cool who runs the mammoth project says new rows in train lines will make the area a central transport hub for all of africa. to be becoming

a signature infrastructure for the integration of the african continent and to realize they are. at kenya biggest juice factory they can't wait to reap the benefits of the free trade zone 200 tons of fruit a process here every day they can peel and i feel brands every child in kenya knows and the boss camano kendall would like to export to more african countries the problem so far lack of infrastructure and high tariffs but those are history now as of january 1st 90 percent of goods can be sold entirely free of tariffs looking forward to this. because. there will be uniform. and therefore that the open market the african free trade zone will be the biggest in the world every african country except it is taking. part it creates

a domestic market of 1200000000 people who would have. no job opportunities brings africa clothes that seemed so. let's all dependents in the world bank estimates that free trade could help 30000000 africans escape poverty but it's going to be a long road here at the construction site in la more workers earn just 4 euro a day a pittance and they're working for chinese construction companies china has long recognized how strong the african market will be. bigger institute is a research group in hamburg that focuses on developing regions rural is responsible for africa is china helping create something in africa that's going to fairly benefit both sides. thank you ben and in happy end. to talk about china it's always

a mixed reaction in africa although china has been able to contribute to infrastructure development on the continent and i think when it comes to any foreign you know relationship between nations. countries are least think of themselves 1st and i think africans should always put themselves 1st in negotiating all relating with any nations china he wants so and china and he you have you know talked about yeah there's a pause he strongly supports and yes he and i think we should do that in fact is when does a grim and becomes you know in finance and comes into practice i want to see that in practice we want to see then and who she is even with africa as a single what about the livelihoods of africans who are sidelined because of these huge infrastructure projects that are. yeah that it's been

a concern that the displacement as a result of this but one thing that yes yes he. is created to do is to produce. produce more jobs for africans assy it is going to create a large markets were small medium and high prices as well as individual and should be in yours can you know disperse of your commodities and have formalize way to trade so the most important thing is that this yes yes you will create a job or what you need for many people who you know may have concern or may be displaced as a result of the momentum here is that it is a free trade for the people it's a trade agreement that is target and for africans and will be the benefits of all africans political and will it become a real free trade zone i mean those tariffs still have to fall to the wayside.

yeah there's a lot of conversation about that and throughout the you know the pandemic how one can demand as a country general of the su se as been moving around africa is talking 2 minutes doesn't trade different groups branch and bags. you know private enterprises so we show that there is a way to create revenues too soon to ensure that in time it isn't. hopefully would see this in the future but there's a lot of that lot going on to ensure that that happens and until those conversations you know and negotiations on comes to completion i would not know exactly when this is going to happen but the the expectation is that tyreese will be reduced and 90 percent of trade between the continents and this is what we know it's eggs and if they don't all thank you very much for your analysis. thank you obrecht an ad europe now doing business on different terms the u.k.

having left the single market for fisheries a 5 and a half year transition period begins in which a quarter of the e.u.'s quota transfers through british industries after that it will be negotiated every year. captain fritz flint is in cook's hoben getting ready for the 1st catch since the brakes 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. thinkers crossed it all works out to go 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 and we've already been laid up for 2 months the norwegians kicked us out to it's not nice we're waiting with bated breath we've got families to think about family for me and a few meters away things boss caught on a schmidt pours over the new deal he's been at it for hours. tolls and 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 quite a fish germany's last dedicated fishing fleet that's a god he will float on but can you just skim through the parts about cotton pollack will have 20 percent less catch that means we need 2 boats fewer in the next 5 years sense which is why i fought so your video and listen for a show. 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 break the deal there's no promise that the waters will be any calmer for europe's fisherman in 2021. time now for a quick look at some of the other business stories making news tesla has started selling its chinese made model why customers in china can expect of every as early as this month the world's biggest comet is offering subsidies for electric vehicles as it seeks to cut emissions. and a german vaccine make a biotech has won the e.u. could experience supply shortages until other $1000.00 jobs are approved the blocks

come under fire for being slow to authorize the buy and take is that enough elation and for ordering only half as many doses as the us. so what's in store on the global economic front 2021 a financial correspondent in frankfurt sunday takes a look at whether vaccines can drive a worldwide 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 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 war to 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

passion drama competition drive marketing numbers atmosphere power fight at sac intuition love hate money. fans friends 5 spammers and friends all. on you to join us. hello and welcome to the environment magazine co-produced by n.t.v. here in uganda china's t.v. in nigeria and in germany i am sundra to know if you aren't with me today i was always a micro present a new to a 100 new how are you today i don't know that i am just fine thank you very much

and i want i'll come to you odd to viewers out there we have a lot in store for you on today's program so let's take a quick look at what's lined up today. in senegal we visit some students who i think with the new solar car. in germany we hear about a push to make textiles on look we saw through. and can you know we learn once again how crucial it is to protect our water resources. prest we had to the south of the continent south africa's energy comes almost exclusively from coal fired power plants which is a major factor behind rising air pollution in an alias the government has announced plans to significantly increase the use of renewable sources within 10 yes being solar wind or hydropower they mischa to his being sped by green cape a nonprofit organization that provides assistance to innovative young green

startups. one year ago the protests heights a cut in his school and kept town went on a without paying for the installation the system was financed by code funding platform their idea small investors buy ponies and on an income from setting the electricity to the school that is using them so far from cambridge is crowd funding platform equipped over 30 schools and companies within 5 years they plan to have more than $200.00 additional assistance. so if you want to put money in solar panels for an environmental reason put them in south africa you're offsetting $8.00 times the carbon emissions by the side of an hour here's africa than it would do in germany for example and you're getting twice as much electricity out of it so it just makes more sense to put a solar power crane more social environmental and economic impact and for that school the solar energy is cheaper than power from the grid with investment as

little as 4 euro's santa extant is also open to people with less income in fact many of the protests how it's invested in the solar cells themselves when the horn is the school's former principal she says that aside from clint cheap energy the project also brings another benefit to me always that yeah kids are so excited allen is to actually get involved and interest in neuro things and x.t. body still sells him south and see how the money would increase or decrease or whatever i mean it was it created a huge interest in nearly excitement and then he says what do you want to teach our children for the future you seem to be nearly skills innovative models to find and produce green energy gently need in south africa the government aims to produce a quote of on a cruise city from renewables by 2030. general jones works for green care a nonprofit organization committed to expanding the green sector together with other lobby groups they are made sure that and i just heard taps gained an

important role in government plans to transition south africa to its review up was . dismissive. and they said this this road to 2030 in the road. it states that they would be $20.00 gigawatts of renewable energy being procured and that comprises technologies within the religious space but for the 1st time what is very interesting is that. they have. designated gigawatts of small scale generation in. to the inside of the police document i r.p. integrated resource plan aims to have small scale solar power solutions account for some 10 percent of south africa's total energy mix then they are in effect as who are looking to the question for have some on one big company developed an underwater pump powered by the ocean's waves it turns salt water into drinking

water while at the same time producing a constant source of energy that could power up to 10 european i was told all year round is always energy. if we said we're looking at a whole range of waves that come from different areas there's a lot of stuff that's produced locally by the local winds but there's an enormous amount of energy that's come from storms that could be thousands of miles away. there with pump is tied to a boy that leads with each wave that level movement pressure rises walked out to purify it and generator to cities at the same time for years the prototype unit was tested under water and is now back in the workshop for some maintenance work so far the unit has proven that the concept works the team says despite the challenges. we stay confident that these systems are going to. be

a big part of the solution and future is not really outside or when but working in conjunction with them the challenges with the ocean is that it's an expensive system to develop when there is very little funding available with sufficient funding the company could start pownce next year that would feed into the power grid the san extant card funding platform meanwhile has just received an additional $3000000.00 euros from one major investor powering on south africa's green energy translation. now it off week of us know we've all. from feature reports on research for the environment from electric cost to doing it yourself wind turbines and recycling old laptop batteries they are the creations of inventive young minds on various countries hoping to make their visions reality let is right near to and this week we held an innovation from cynical a group of young research is

a university in dhaka have been walking on a solar powered it they call for everyday use he is this week's doing give me. this is a. it was built by university students in dakar. it's powered by the sun. the idea was developed by students in canada. the technical drawings come from italy. the students in senegal put the pieces together. it has a range of 60 kilometers. they can negotiate bumpy surfaces. and carry 2 people or goods weighing up to 250 kilograms. more than half the population of senegal has no electricity.

the majority live in rural areas. and their method of mine didn't provide power people need for their various endeavors in the field or for any other activity that requires electricity. i'll use it because it is the answer to the problem. i said to you as a problem. because the battery can be used to charge mobile phones. or to run a $500.00 watt water pump for a full 12 hours. and how about you if you'll also do tell us about it visit our websites oh send us a tweet. hash tag doing your bit so. we share your story.

well roaming the countryside. for sheep or goats to graze. all of of the was. there days it's gonna be a hard life but for different reasons in different places in germany most land is now privately owned and livestock shipping has become increasingly rare another problem the price of war is so little it's not even selling but people would like to see these various not sure textile put to good use. shepherd florian highs has brought his animals to rest in a green patch between warehouses and factories in the industrial ruhr area in western germany he's one of the few shepherds left in the country. there are around a 1000 professional shepherds left in germany that's not so many really i don't know many young people who want to do this job i'll continue to do it with passion

until i have to step down it's certainly a dying profession that nobody wants to do you don't make much money. for. the sheep are eventually sold for their meat but municipalities also pay shepherds to have their flocks graze on public land. but wool has become a losing business these days sales don't even cover the costs of having the sheep sheared so that's from a beautiful merino wool. if. i have merino sheep if they still have the best quality wool i get over a euro per kilo. one colleagues of mine who have other breeds get a lot less they get $45.00 to $0.65 per kilo. and if some of them don't sell it anymore choosing to burn the world or toss it instead . they're going to. his wool goes to china where it's

processed and ends up in bedding upholstery carpets and other textile products some of these end up back on the european market where they're sold at high prices that make split get a pop and furious is just a talent it's totally absurd buyers here purchased the wall and send it all the way to china for washing and it sent to paris where it's packaged and suddenly everyone wants it. gives it half it is a self-taught tailor. she initially trained to be a dental assistant now she's a businesswoman with a passion for wool she calls her products mosel tweed. mr mcmullan i wondered whether the wall from the sheep in our region was also suitable for fabric and it turns out that it's very suitable for cloth and at that point i told myself that i'd do my best to save local wool one. the cloth is made in

germany soley from will out of the region she already has about 100 meters in stock the company produces vests caps and sport coats from the material. so most of science. proper receive support from the back in fact spinning around in a globalised textile market producing fabric regionally is difficult the production costs are too high the quantities too low. for wool is processed here died and spun into yarn the viking felt spinning mill wants to promote local wool but has no illusions about the future of wool from germany of almost like you're sadly consumers today are not willing to pay higher prices at the retail level they're more interested in getting new products faster they want to see trends in changes in fashion so the cost has to be low it would be nice if people could change their

priorities and still. get a couple remains enthusiastic about her will in fabric it may be expensive but demand from high quality sustainable fashion is growing her mission is to eventually produce quantities approaching 10000 meters of her muzzle tweet. the next we had to go beyond which is home to africa's largest a stable forest and if on population but suddenly the numbers have increased dramatically in recent decades that's right sandra for farmers who lose their crops to roaming elephants that may seem like good news but in fact the large animals are important for maintaining that ecological balance so why live authorities in locrian national park are working to protect the elephants while helping the locals to protect their fields and their villages.

for the and his anti-poaching team this is the easy part of the job not far from their station in low pay national park they're gathering data on flora and fauna. the family of elephants passed through here. here. and then they moved here with it and left their traces. thanks to the rangers the nature reserve has experience no major wildlife crime in the last 2 years. low pay is one of 13 national parks established in cabo in 2002 it's a you know asco world heritage site and home to elephants panthers gorillas buffalo and over 400 bird species these days the elephants pose more of a problem than the poachers do and important part of the work of the park manager

and his team is communicating with the residents of the villages on the edges of the national park. we realized that the elephants were more or less fleeing the interior of the forest because of growing pressure from poachers from the south and southwest. thanks to fences that the park officials have set up around the villages the elephants are slowly retreating back into the forest. in 3 of the villages electric fences protect the plantations plus we've been going hungry for 2 years people were losing weight there wasn't enough to eat but this year we have enough again we have vegetables we've been able to harvest what we planted to get. the cooperation between the park management and local residents is proving successful for the way in dong the fences in these communities have also come as a relief. if it was costing

a lot of money it takes $46.00 people to chase away 3 elephants elephants not a dog it's not a sheep that you can push away with elephants you have to be very strict teaching and vigilant. and grew up here like many of the rangers he is confident that humans and wildlife can co-exist peacefully. some folks news we do this so that our children can see what we are seeing today today we only read about dinosaurs and books. we can just drive animals to extinction kill them without a 2nd thought that would be a big problem. tomorrow we'll be back at work in low pay national park and the rangers and villagers will continue to maintain the fences that can help to ensure their future. securing food is essential for all living creatures it takes up much of the day for some and the more we humans encroach on the wildlife habitat the more we have to assume that i mean most will come and eat from our gardens but

due to serious issues like water shortages getting those gardens to grove is becoming harder and harder in the south of france farmers are having to drill deep wells to obtain water for their food trees and vegetable plants but devising efficient ways to use the water also helps to preserve it. these nectarines are growing plump even though there has been little or no rain here recently. grosses fruit on 120 hector's in the coal a region of south eastern france each tree needs about 8 leaders of water a day on average during the summer there have been long periods of drought in recent years and they exact a price then now has installed a sophisticated irrigation system with a water pump and sensors on all the trees and an app that lets them see how each tree is doing. what if the leaves are too wet they can rot and attract pests

with this system i can treat them with pesticides directly and only when it's absolutely necessary. so it's very economical what they can to support but this is . know me best is in charge of the equipment and the programming of the irrigation system. it is fed from a well that taps groundwater at a depth of 80 metres the water is filtered and carefully dispensed with the help of a computer. the orchard is divided into 72 smaller plants. but also going to come up and this is what we used to run the system all credit i program the watering schedule i select which plots to water and at what time of day and for how long. it lets us steer the entire irrigation process very accurately course. summers in europe are getting hotter and drier water is becoming scarce the summer of 2018 was the hottest on record in europe

drought in the north and center of the continent. plunged as much as 50 percent water rationing was introduced in some countries. and friends to the funny sector is under mounting pressure. so it's important to optimize the irrigation and not waste water the local chamber of agriculture is interested in pioneering work in the field. he's letting it conduct experiments on 3 of his 72 plants. monitors how much water there is in the soil and the trees. the dam dromedary lets you see if the branch of a peach tree is growing or shrinking. if it's shrinking the tree needs water i guess. the project will track tree growth and yield for 3 years the aim is to study the economic and environmental impact of

a shortage of water growing fruit is an important part of the economy in this area . want to model future scenarios. if one day $1020.00 or 30 percent less water is available will the fruit growers be able to respond appropriately. for. the project will help him fine tune his irrigation program. now careful use of water is a crucial issue here too in africa. is a wetland in campbell county in kenya and also the head of water over nairobi river tributary the wetland is i think one source of water awful farming and domestic use and the reason more new to the swamp also helps to reduce the impact of floods during the rainy season and helps improve what a quantity the area has suffered a major degree addition as a result of the illegal discharge of west and encroachments by local people that

motivated members of the community to find a course of action project to protect the vital ecosystem. thank you steve b. lots of great crowned cranes here but not any more on the wetland was once home to all kinds of birds the duck and herring populations of also declined. c o 2 and store rainwater on daily is a key source of water for the nearby town of kikuyu as well as the kenyan capital nairobi kenya is growing and getting ever closer to the wetland greenhouses and fields now reach right up to the edge of the swamp which covers 3.3 square kilometers the equivalent of $450.00 football pitches farm is used to harvest large amounts of grass from the wetland to feed their cattle which meant birds had less room to build their nests but that is no longer the case thanks to david work again

and his colleagues who make up the friends of on t.v. wetland group when we started our walk there are so many for the harvest augustine florida another end of the year. just after sama they goodbye and this place and this place. will have the whole biodiversity destroyed the group has 300 members. they are in the process of planting 8000 young trees around the wetland to help prevent soil from the fields washing into the wetland when it rains and to hinder cattle from going there to graze. david kyra's farm is next to the wetland he's keen to make sure that the trees here can thrive. since the trees were planted the place looks good in the past there was grazing and

sometimes cows would get into the swamp and sink in the bog. and now there's no more grass harvesting either. another problem is that waste water from the greenhouse pollutes the area with toxins including heavy metals that's serious because the wetland is the source of a tributary of the nairobi river on whose waters the capital depends. the friends of the on the wetland have persuaded some farmers to give up this kind of intensive cultivation. and they're helping to undo the damage. we are trees along this wetland there are very good. trees when it comes to say i've been in the meadows that are coming out of the greenhouse i mean for a long time the local authorities did little to protect the swamp but back to this

changing. we're walking dead through their farmlands because. part of the allowed so we. do keep doing them and creating awareness but. them to do all the next funding because when it demeans the cause then they're going to cause a double neither of us. thanks in particular to the efforts of the friends of on dairy the wetland has started to recover. the next project is to build a trail for that watches. the bugs that are found here can be very important. to this area because one. there are those areas that have been marked as important body an area i'd be

is indeed a midland is not one of them i'm not is one of the things that friends of mine didn't want to achieve if things go well on day we will once again become a paradise for birds a recent survey found the wetland now supports more than 70 different species as conditions here slowly improve. i hope. the importance of caring for our environment and maybe also inspired you to rethink the value of our precious water resources and i hope you found a mixture of topics as interesting as a deed for now it is a good bye for me sandra to nobody here in kampala uganda. and from outside when lagos is good bye i hope you join us again next week in the meantime julie is sure to check in with us on instagram facebook twitter or our web site so long for now stay safe by.
