w. . this is d. w. news live from berlin 8 major defeat for donald trump in the final weeks of his presidency republican and democrat senators unite times vote to override the president's veto of a major bill on defense spending it's the 1st time congress has overturned the trumper veto also coming up. countries around the world to roll out coronavirus vaccination programs foot waves stocks limited so max words are recommending a rethink of the way doses are delivered. europeans welcomed the new

year with a splash taking a dip in freezing cold water is a long tradition on the 1st day of the year in the many countries. yes happy new year and welcome to the show the united states senate has delivered a major review to donald trump but with just weeks left in his presidency republican and democrat senators came together to override the president's veto of a major defense bill the vote passed by more than the required 2 thirds majority and follows a similar bipartisan motion in the house of representatives it's the 1st time congress has overridden a trump a veto the move unlocks more than $700000000000.00 worth of military spending.

d.w. correspondent oliver salat sent us this update from washington d.c. it is a humiliating blow for donald trump on the last days off his presidency and it's also a 1st because never before has congress overridden a veto or since he took office and that's particularly important because the republican hold a majority in the senate that has been extremely partisan throughout all times presidency just think of the impeachment proceedings about a year ago where a lot of damaging material was produced against all still the republicans and senate back to him eventually exonerated donald trump now it looks like the tides have changed the republicans in senate approved a defense bill against the will of the all trump and that also challenges donald trump's plans to pull out some $1236000.00 u.s. troops that are currently stationed in germany that plan is effectively put on hold

no meaning another blow for donald trump and all the big question the big overarching question is what is happening with the republican party right now and always seeing the republican support for donald trump beginning to crumble more than 50 countries around the world are now rolling out coronavirus vaccination programs and of those many have fallen well behind their targets making some reconsider the way doses are delivered a familiar sight from coronavirus testing but in this florida drive by people are now receiving something much more hopeful vaccine shots. and yet the race to inoculate millions of people across the world against covert $1000.00 is off to a slower and messier start than expected insufficient supplies and complex logistics are backing down the process many countries including the us and germany are falling far behind projected roll out speeds the main issue is that the buy on

tech pfizer vaccine the 1st one to be widely approved requires cumbersome refrigeration at extreme temperatures and 2 shots within 3 weeks to be the most effective. this has sparked a debate among experts about whether the time between doses should be stretched to 3 months some argue that it is better to give many people some resistance to the virus and to give fewer people full protection. the immediate urgency is for rapid and high levels of vaccine uptake. recommends that delivery of the 1st dose of covert $900.00 packs in should be prioritize for both the pfizer vaccine and astra zeneca vaccine britain recently became the 1st country to authorize the vaccine developed by oxford university and astra zeneca

trial data suggests it is somewhat less effective but much easier to store and to transport it just needs normal fridge temperature rather than the minus 70 super cold storage the vaccine requires some experts say it could change this situation entirely unlike its biotech pfizer competitor this vaccine could be more effective when the 2nd dose is given 3 months later leaving enough time to knock you late much of the population and then dowden with partial immunity the u.k. plans to vaccinate a 1000000 people per week from january 4th but what may turn out to be the most promising development on the horizon is still pending approval johnson and johnson's yancy and vaccine requires only one dose that could simplify logistics considerably if approved this single shot jab could be in use by february the pressure is now on governments to speed up this crucial process well here are some

of the other developments in the pandemic the united states has surpassed 20000000 confirmed coronavirus cases experts are now warning of another surge in deaths and new infections following gatherings over the festive period french president emanuel mccall has promised to speed up his country's vaccination program fewer than 200 people have been inoculated since the rollout began on december 27th and from the 7th of january canada will require travelers arriving in the country to show proof of a negative coronavirus test within 72 hours of departure. well the pandemic has changed the way important issues are dealt with including the call it climate crisis before activists were rallying in cities around the world demanding an end to the use of fossil fuels but when lockdowns on social distancing put an end to public gatherings they took their message online. at.

a demonstration in berlin for more climate protection with masks and social distancing this is how climate activists protest in covert 1000 times. large demonstrations are not possible right now so fridays for future activists are also taking their protests online for samir a gandu or a spokeswoman for the berlin fridays for a future group that's a real challenge. it was we didn't know how to raise attention if we're not able to protest on the streets but i think we've managed to get through anyway with online tools. they have been hosting web seminars on climate justice digital meetings with scientists and have been using twitter and instagram as communication platforms simmias says this is all giving them a chance to strengthen their international network. it's white noise and i'm almost

as i'm fixed up as the muslims why because when i'm on my time picked louis mo tom was one of the moderators of the global digital climate strike lifestream. he was able to draw almost a quarter of a 1000000 viewers for him the protests are essential in the fight against climate change the change happens when everyone who comes to the demonstrations tries to introduce systematic change in their field in their industry and tries to imagine what such a transformation might look like i find that personally totally motivating whenever i think about the coming years. but ever since the pandemic broke out climate change has been on the backburner. we asked people how important it is for berliners today that's not to do this not because it's important but right now people are more worried about dying than about politics or climate policy with a clean up at the. time and change has taken a backseat but we shouldn't forget about it both issues are important one is

important right now and the other for the future for our children to be oh we couldn't. but activists like samir a say action on the climate crisis cannot be postponed. the quarter cope at 19 crisis has been highlighting social injustices this year and we've seen that the government can handle crises why not the climate crisis yet. samir and the other activists want to affect the political change be it on line or on the streets. let's take a look at some other international stories in bosnia herzegovina the army has been setting up tents to has hundreds of migrants left homeless in freezing conditions. places one burnt down the un's migration agency says appropriate permanent accommodation is still needed to. rescuers in norway say they found the body of

a person killed in wednesday's landslide 9 people are still missing several buildings were swept away in the slide which occurred about 30 kilometers north of north of the capital. now after a nearly half century partnership britain has finalized its place with the european union and the channel tunnel linking britain with france is seen by many as a symbol of european cooperation and hours after the separation on the 1st day of 2021 the eurostar train service from london pulled and pulled into the french capital paris for those on board it was a glimpse into the future of post brags that travel. that 1st glance it could have been any other day for the eurostar train service that connects the u.k. need to mainland europe. on closer inspection at paris's garbage no station some new red tape was already apparent. but how was the mood among the 1st travellers

from the u.k. to arrive in paris on this historic occasion. it was it was fine i mean it was a we knew that there'd be checks to do with. why we're coming here and that we had a covert test but other than that it was kind of like normal i think most of that most of the checks were due to the coronavirus restrictions rather than the bags it necessarily i thought i'd get away with is that day is not what we buy it for and yeah just got this happen and read it but yeah as ed said is a democracy so you have to kind of respect the rules now just go with it you have got it got to be dividing and already divided out. in here what can you to. many east citizens at the station expressed similar reservations. or philosophy still frankly it's sad to see the united kingdom leaving europe like this.

city you know britain was a pillar of europe. it's unfortunate that we needed a country like great britain in europe one or neither of the deception as deception on the english side in the sense that i think we all need other people. i think the europeans have a lot of work in london the english here not so much that as we said not. anticipating potential chaos as the new regime kicks in france has recruited over $700.00 additional customs officers to worth at its borders with the u.k. there g.t.s. could include patrolling heroes star trains to make sure travelers have the right paperwork for whatever they're carrying. bunch esther united striker edinson cavani has. been banned for 3 matches after using a racist term on social media the striker from europe wide posted the message after

he was congratulated for scoring a winning goal in november he later devic deleted the post when he was told that the word in spanish could be considered racist kalani didn't contest the english football associations charge that his post was quote insulting and abusive and said the comment was meant affectionately. well the coronavirus pandemic has made celebrations difficult but many across the world raise their glasses to the new year from the comfort of their homes as some revelers like to take it easy on january 1st what some people here in europe nothing more than to strip off and head to the water billed as a great way to kick start the year they braved the cold winter temperatures for an icy new year's day dip. taking the plunge into rooms chilly tiber river for decades italians have dived 15 meters down as the year kicks off this time around coronavirus restrictions kept the crowd small but one diver said their

tradition sent a message people needed this year. got out you'll go to your her courage because we are doing this as a message of recovery hope to get everything back to normality. in portugal it's a diff into the cold planting. some swear by the health benefits of cold water swimming with or without protective gear. the family it's a good way to start the new year by keeping all the viruses away. it's a bonus this way we don't get sick of the. kind of fun. that may or may not be even further north this dutch beach saw more health obsessed people come out. to take the waters the coronavirus kept many away but those who did keep the tradition were confident they were doing the right thing it's proven

scientifically proven to improve your immunity so it's good for. besides the alleged health benefits what a way to beat those summer beach crowds. well that's it from me and the rest of the team here in berlin make sure to stay up to date in all that i just use on t w talk on the take care seems since i'm talking to your. lawyer. card culture. hair. superman. superfood stylish style icon. life style you're a. song. maybe

i'm david and this is climate change. happiness in 3 books. this is the book for you. to get smarter for free books on. break this is reality we haven't seen a repeat of that trade chaos on britain's borders with the e.u. yet experts warn the steady flow of traffic could soon turned into a roll. pandemic has pulled millions of africans into whole body could you continent wide free trade turn around their fortunes. and once the world's inoculated go to 19 can we expect a v. shaped old vaccine recovery natural course one looks at the year ahead. which

is one that's the business britain and the e.u. are officially divorced from today customs checks are in place with the u.k. leaving the block single market the busy route between the english port of dover and france is. the front lines of the changes but there was less disruption than many had expected trucks go through without major hassle so both human traffic was lower than usual. ok ferguson has been following this story for us kate i heard a lot of companies delayed deliveries to avoid any sort of chaos at all they certainly did they were expecting a far more chaos than we actually saw today and it's important to note that we recently did see long lines of trucks i don't over because of coronavirus border closures but this of course is a story which affects ports up and down the country the likes of london on grimsby you don't see as much laurie traffic but they're responsible for millions of tons of u.k. imports and exports oil and gas tankers container ships they're all affected by the

new customs rules now britain can't afford to let these ports become a bottleneck shipman's the tween the u.k. and e.u. a kind for over 40 percent of all british port traffic the u.k.'s ports are major arteries for british trades without them working efficiently britain's businesses could face shortages or price rises that's why getting port traffic moving is a top post for exit priority ok the question is how much longer will things actually run smoothly after talking about breakfast for 4 and a half years today seem to fit anticlimactic didn't that we were expecting chaos but we didn't get any and as you mentioned there are reasons for this one of them is that companies were prepared it was only last week that they find out that there was going to be a bracks deal at all so what they did was stockpile in advance and to surprising all this chaos on a regular day you'd see $10000.00 trucks between dover and cully today it was less than a 10th of that and of course the other thing is that the british government only

released its document 300 pages of information about how trade should work in the future a few hours before the rules came into effect that it's not easy to understand i don't think customs officials or companies have time to. what about that role that politics plays in business all that to always go hand in hand and nowhere is this more apparent than in northern ireland because it of course is part of the united kingdom but it sure is a land border with the republic of ireland which of course staying part of the e.u. and to avoid conflict and chaos there under this new arrangement northern ireland is going to follow most of the e.u. has rules on trade so that will mean that they'll have to be customs checks the tween northern arland and the rest of the u.k. so that means that see that's an important psychological shift because those who want to see a united ireland in the future are going to say well this shows that cooperation is closer on the island and on the mainland what about the other relations that the u.k. has with other nations and trading blocks and b.

e use relations with other other nations both sides are very busy looking for new friends the momentum of the past few years britain has agreed about 60 new trade agreements most of that that were covered under its old rules with the e.u. even though in the last couple of days it's a great deals with vietnam and turkey it's been doing a lot of copy and paste it hasn't e.t.a. you probably think so in therapy that in those attacks the e.u. has been following its own course as well this week we saw that the big investment poc with china signed that's going to make it easier for european companies to do business in china not without its critics of course a lot of people joining at human rights violations in china so a lot of people not happy about that and it's not all about just goods is it it's certainly not so over the next few months it's going to become apparent what's not and this deal it does not cover a services and services account for 80 percent of the pressures economy and i'm present we don't know whether pressures banks and insurance companies are going to have easy market access in the e.u. and that could cause a lot more chaos what we're saying that could be just the come before the storm but

ok i shouldn't hold my breath but there are 2 thanks for coming in interesting stuff well africa's free trade block is now open for business but it's not all that free is still disagreement on the scrapping of tariffs as many african nations rely on that revenue agreement could take years. the catch was meager and to make it all mama's sure had to go far out last night where 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. me. people in lamu make a living from tourism and fishing but they're victims of a new era in the age of africa street trade zone lemuel is set to become an

international not just stick center soon the excavate recent dump trucks will be replaced by cranes thousands of shipping containers will pass through a brand new port said mr 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 to realize the africa. and kenya spigots 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 are brands every child in kenya knows and the boss commando kendo 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. yesterday because. there will be uniform. and therefore that's 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 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. it sure has i asked analyst lindo rowe when tariffs will be scrapped because some say it could take years yet there's a lot of conversation about that throughout the you know the pandemic one can

demand secretary general of the f.c.s. he has been moving around africa is talking to ministers of trade and different groups that. you know private enterprises to ensure that there is a way to create revenues too soon to ensure that is how it is and use hopefully would see this in the future but there is a lot of that lot going on to ensure that that happens and until those conversations you know and negotiations comes to completion i will not know exactly when this is going to happen but the the expectation is that terrorists will be reduced on 90 percent of trade between the continents and this is what we are. 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 to live for years only is this month the world's biggest comet is offering subsidies for electric

vehicles as it seeks to kind of nation's. english football club chelsea made a profit of over $44000000.00 last financial year that's despite the pandemic interrupting play the club and its money from qualifying for the champions league and selling expensive play is like belgian winger i didn't bother. americans face higher costs for medication the likes of pfizer and glaxo smith kline have already reportedly braze their prices drug makers argue the pandemic means fewer visits to the doctor and fewer prescriptions which means lower profits. and the german vaccine make a biotech has warned the e.u. could experience supply shortages until other coated $1000.00 jobs are approved the blocks come under fire for being slow to authorize the buy and take pfizer inoculation and for half as many doses as the u.s. . so what's in store on the global economic front and 2021 our financial correspondent in frankfurt. takes

a look at whether vaccines can drive 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 there is little doubt when it comes to shares in travel and tourism companies airline stocks took a battering last year as a pandemic brought 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 wireless may yet throw in a cobol or 2 but fingers crossed. and a reminder of the top business story we're following for you customs checks have been reintroduced as the u.k. exited the e.u.

have a lot in store for you on today's program so let's take a quick look what's lined up today. in senegal we visit some students who are thinking with the new solar car. in germany we hear about a push to make textiles on locally sourced move. on can you know we learn once again how crucial it is to protect our water resources. first 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 up pollution in an atheist 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 then idea small investors by panics and earn an income from setting the electricity to the school that is using them so far from cambridge is crowd funding part from equipped over 30 schools and companies within 5 years they plan to have more than $200.00 additional assistance. install it so if you want to put money in solar panels for an environmental reason put them in south africa you're offsetting 8 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 where you create more social environmental and economic impact and for the school the solar energy is cheaper than power from the grid with investment

has lead towards 4 euro's sun extant is also open to people with less income in fact many of the people of that party are how it's invested in the solar cells themselves when de haan 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 in chip in your old thing and actually buy still sells him sow's 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 it's also what you want to teach our children for the features into venereal skills innovative models to fund and produce green energy gently need in south africa the government aims to produce a quote off 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 had taps gained an important

role in government plans to transition south africa to its renewables go to space. and they said this this road map to 20 cities in the road. it states it will be $20.00 gigawatts of renewable energy being procured and that comprises technologies into 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 o integrated resource plan aims to have small scale solar power solutions account for some 10 percent of south africa's top to 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 sold all year around it's 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 up 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. they 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 at 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 you drag the pumps 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's off because of you was no we've all. feature reports on research for the environment from electric cars to doing it yourself. i know cycling. they are the creations of inventive young minds on various countries hoping to make their vision a reality let is right and these. innovation from cynical a group of young. have been walking. for everyday

well roaming the countryside in such a blunt for sheep or goats to graze. all over the wall and spend their days it's gonna be a hard life but for different reasons in different places in germany most land is not privately owned and livestock shipping has become increasingly rare another problem the price of war is so low it's not even worth selling but people would like to see the zone not sure textile put to good use. shepherd florian pies 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 work with passion

until i have to step down it's certainly a dying profession that nobody wants to deal with 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. i have merino sheep 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. if some of them don't sell it anymore choosing to burn the wool 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 spaghetti pappa furious as to talent it's totally absurd buyers here purchase 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 papa 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 product mosel tweed habbush 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 do my best to save local wool. 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 assigns . have to receive support from the back and fan spinning wheels. in a globalised textile market producing fabric regionally is difficult the production costs are too high the quantity is too low. for wool is processed here died and spun into yarn the vatican felt spinning male 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 until. you 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 metres of her muzzle tweet. the next away had to go on which is home to africa's largest a stable forest in a fine population but suddenly the number dramatically in recent decades that's right sandra for farmers who knows their crops are roaming elephants that may seem like good news but in fact the large animals are important for maintaining that ecological balance so while i've authorities in no pre-nuptial part i working to protect the elephants while helping the locals to protect their fields and their villages.

for 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. ok and then they moved here and left their traces. thanks to the rangers the nature reserve has experienced 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 and elephants not a dog it's not a sheep that you can push away with elephants you have to be very strategic and vigilant. and grew up here like many of the rangers he's confident that humans and wildlife can co-exist peacefully. and we do this so that our children can see what we are seeing today but 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 i'm the more we humans encroach on the wildlife habitats the more we have to assume that i mean most will come on me from our

gardens are serious issues like water shortage just getting gold gardens to grove is becoming harder and harder in the south of frogs farmers are having to drill deep wells to obtain water for their food trees and vegetable thrives 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. now grows his fruit and $120.00 have tears in the coal region of southeastern france each tree needs about 8 leaders of water and 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 that's almost 40 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 a very economical but if they can to support but this is. no need this 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 the computer. the orchard is divided into 72 smaller plants. that also going to come up and this is what we used to run the system all creative 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 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 dramaturgy lets you see if the branch of the 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 and several solar we want to model future scenarios just like if one day $1020.00 or 30 percent less water is available will the fruit growers be able to respond appropriately. the project will help him fine tune his irrigation program. now careful use of what size a crucial issue here to me in africa only swamp is a work line in campbell county and also the head of water over nairobi river tributary the what life is very important source of water awful farming and divisive. and the reason more to that 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

want to vetted members of the community to find a course of action project to protect the vital ecosystem. that used to be lots of grey crammed cranes here but not a new poll on daily 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. 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 what cokie

and his colleagues who make up the friends of on t.v. wetland group when we started a walk there are so many for the harvest harvest in florida and i vend of the year . just after osama big goodbye and this place and this is. how the whole biodiversity destroyed the group purse $300.00 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 daily wetland have persuaded some farmers to give up this kind of intensive cultivation. and helping to undo the damage. we are planting trees along these wetlands there are very good. trees when it comes to sippin in the meadows that are coming out of the greenhouse farming. for a long time in the local authorities did little to protect the swamp but that too

is changing. we're walking dead through the famines because. india is. part of the allied so we're. getting them and creating awareness but again we also encourage them to do all of the next sunday because when it demeans. because then. 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. be very important. to these area because one. those areas that have been marked. you bought on the body and i would be an

unknown did i have learned 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 t.v. will once again become a paradise for the 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 precious water resources and i hope you found a mixture of topics as interesting as a deed for now it is a good buy for me sundra to nobody here in kampala uganda. and from me in outside when lagos is goodbye i hope you join us again next week in the meantime do a be sure to check in with us on instagram facebook twitter or our websites so long for now stay safe by.
