bialik asked. this is do w. news live from berlin and indonesian airliner crashes into the scene naval search teams head for the sign where the jet went down just minutes after taking off from jakarta dozens of people were on board and also on the show. no more trauma on twitter the social media platform permanently suspended the u.s.

president's account citing a risk of further violence the lived to cry of some of his favorite social media megaphone and in the waning days of his term. i'm married to evanston thanks for joining me we begin with a tragedy in indonesia where a passenger plane crashed into the sea shortly after taking off from jakarta the gent one down just 4 minutes into what should have been an hour long flight authorities are now trying to piece together what happened. indonesia's navy says it has pinpointed the location of the plane's wreckage and a dozen vessels deployed in a search and rescue operation are continuing their work through the night.

earlier they found the 1st debris believed to have come from the plane. we have found some debris and we suspect they are from the plane however we still have to confirm further whether they are really parts of this freeway jiah plane. the aircraft was carrying 62 people and was bound to the city of pontianak from jakarta. air's chief executive said there was so far no clear cause for the crash. based on the information i have the plane was in good condition when it was flown from pontianak pongo. and this was the 2nd route back to pontianak there shouldn't have been any problem and the maintenance reports was also fine. he also

said the flight's departure was delayed for 30 minutes due to heavy rain officials set up a crisis center at the airport in jakarta relatives of the plane's passengers gathered there to await more information. and we came here to check if the names of our relatives husband and wife are on the list and we saw that their names were on the list. for now the only thing they can do is wait while the search continues. was less than 2 weeks left in his term as u.s. president donald trump faces a renewed drive by opponents to remove him from office even earlier house democrats plan to introduce new articles of impeachment on monday accusing trump of inciting a crowd to ransack congress it comes as twitter announced it is permanently suspended trump's account saying he repeatedly violated policies and glorifying

violence is a huge blow for the president stripping him of his favored communication tool. the world watched as hundreds of trump supporters stormed the u.s. capitol. several arrests have been made to since wednesday's events the man who is pictured sitting at speaker pelosi is desk has turned himself in. and a republican lawmaker from west virginia is facing a criminal charge after breaking into the building. president donald trump has finally agreed to a peaceful transfer of power but tweeted that he would not be going to the inauguration of his successor this turned out to be one of his final tweets as

twitter permanently suspended his account just hours later this followed president elect joe biden's comment that trump was unfit for office. it's one of those 3 competent. presidents in the history of the united states of america indicated he wasn't going to show up at the. inauguration one of the few things he and i ever dreamed of. it's a good thing i'm not sure. security at the capitol is being ramped up ahead of inauguration day which will take place in less than 2 weeks even the national guard has been deployed. well to talk about the implications of trump being cut off from his favorite social media megaphone i'm joined in the studio now by peter dahl from our us elections team hello peter king so just how much of

a blow is it really for trump to be now permanently banned from twitter is this a problem i think it's a big blow i mean president is increasingly find himself isolated after wednesday's a band in this certainly adds to that it comes out after facebook on thursday also announced that it was. temporarily banning his account and threatening also to do that permanently you tube and streaming platform switch threatening similar steps now why does this matter in matters because throughout the terms presidency he's really use social media in a way that essentially render traditional media obsolete he's is why he could get away with bashing the media because he could speak directly to his 90000000 followers who then go out and tweet it to their father was right and so by suspending trump twitter has essentially now taken away that super power that he had critic says the addition of happened months not years ago but it's not as black

and white he is still the president of the united states and as such what he says is so public interest even when doubts inflame tension or even threaten nuclear war with iran for instance which he did not too long ago so by suspending trump twitter is essentially saying you know not saying that he's a threat only to national security but they're also really downgrading him from president to private citizen before he's even left office all right but is this really a problem for trump i mean couldn't he use some other platform to reach all. all of his supporters well he's even talked about creating his own social media platform and what he said was like he will not be silenced and not so complain that we've heard from conservatives especially for months if not years they say that twitter and facebook become essentially liberal companies pushing liberal policies in the gender or trying to shut them up result is that we've seen many of them start to

move to more alternative platforms like parlor gap both of which have reported a sharp rise in users since twitter and facebook announcement for outsiders looking in both platforms really look more like alternate realities where this information flourishes and trump never really lost the election is also home to really radical personalities some of whom openly discuss storming the capitol wednesday as we heard there are also still discussing. enough coming insurrection ahead of inauguration and the irony is i think still twitter and facebook really the way that they're set up we're engineer 2 for warding stream and overreaches content and now that they're trying to clean up their act they're really those who've been radicalized on twitter and facebook well now could be even deeper deeper underground and our division our society are likely to be perfect so that. thank you so very much for your insight with you thanks. let's get

a check now of some of the other stories making news around the world thousands of protesters gathered in jerusalem on saturday calling for the israeli prime minister to resign it's the latest in what's become weekly protests outside benjamin a tenuous residence it comes after netanyahu his trial on corruption charges was postponed indefinitely due to the country's 3rd coronavirus lockdown the israeli leader denies any wrongdoing. snow storms in spain have left at least 4 people dead and caused transport chaos across the country the capital saw its heaviest snowfall in nearly 5 decades on friday more than half of the country's regions remain on alert as storm filomena continues to wreak havoc hundreds of thousands of people flocked to a church in the philippine capital on saturday for the feast of the black nasseri and ignoring government appeals to stay home amid the pandemic several 1000 police

were deployed to ensure social distancing it comes as the annual procession which is one of the biggest religious events was cancelled due to cope at 19. the central asian republic of kyrgyzstan will choose a president and a new system of government to this weekend the frontrunner to lead the muslim majority former soviet state is the acting president a populist who's served jail time for hostage taking opponents fear that victory for the combative sadir shah part of will mean authoritarian rule for a small country with a volatile history w.'s am only sure when has been to kyrgyzstan's capital bishkek to talk to voters about their hopes and fears for the future. we don't want a font they shout using the term for the emperors who used to rule central asia for

months protestors in the kirghiz capital bishkek have been out in the streets every sunday even in the freezing cold like many here feminist activist an artist. says she's defending democracy she thinks if they pass the constitutional changes the president has proposed could threaten basic rights like freedom of speech and care to stand. here. i have the impression that so there is creating a constitution that allows him to stay in power for life like he just needs a throne now these people aren't even politicians they're just criminal groups people who come to power not to develop the country but to enrich themselves and get more power. so they're part of the favorite to win the presidential race seems to sense that people want

a new beginning campaign ads show him as a reformer fighting corruption he swept to power in the popular uprising in october becoming acting president until then he'd been serving a prison sentence his supporters say was politically motivated during the recent revolution protesters stormed the white house the seat of the government and not for the 1st time there have been 3 revolutions here in kyrgyzstan in the last 15 years and people's impatience is only growing especially since the coronavirus pandemic has hit kyrgyzstan's cash strapped economy hard pushing up prices on every day goods at one of biggest markets many people say they hope will finally bring stability. we want one president upon kyrgyzstan used to have a high on the han works and q. . just on lives. that there won't be any more corruption

mafias or criminal structures of said he would punish that strictly. so every year things get worse and worse yes the president changes but nothing actually changes here but activist. does believe in change and is pushing for it with her art as well her latest project is about drinking water and how many people don't have access to it in kyrgyzstan villages it's often women who have to carry heavy buckets home from the well in wants to make that inequality visible is closely because i use art as a way to change reality as a mirror to show what our life is like. we're so used to the way things are but i want to live in a free country where every citizen has access to public goods. and you know we live very badly and we don't deserve to live like this. because these money is a slow. believes that now more than ever with the elections imminent kyrgyzstan's

people need to pull together to defend their hard won democracy and build a better future. to sports now and to the bundesliga an american teenager is the toast of shaka after scoring 3 goals in a victory that saves the club from equalling and unwanted record they beat hoffenheim 4 nil through a blues hadn't won any of their last 30 league matches bought things looked promising in the 1st half when matthew humpy scored his 1st one just think of a goal to give his side the lead and then scored 2 more goals in the 2nd half and that means his clubs are not equals a league of record for games played without a win. now look at the other results from saturday's win as the game's a lifesaver waste of the chance to go top of the table in a 31 home defeat by dortmund jaden ascension alan holland's class seem to feel the wind river cruise and could only draw with braman when you're in berlin also drew

but freiburg one minds lost to frankfurt and replaced at the bottom gladbach big leaders byron munich on friday and there are also 2 matches coming up on sunday. they're up to date now on devalued news up next our technology series shift looks at 5 g. and self driving cars omarion i haven't seen family and the team thanks for watching . the story of prejudices and propaganda. they were called the rhineland bastards born after the 1st world war. their mothers were germans living in the occupied rhineland their fathers were soldiers from the french

colonies. half of german children had a hard time because they were a reminder of the german defeat. exclusion culminated in forced sterilization under the nazis. this documentary examines the few traces that remain of their existence. they call them the children of shame. storage january 11th on d. w. . shift special how 5 teams will change our lives. is a quantum leap in technology it'll facilitate the internet of things and self driving cars but this new generation of wireless networking technology machines can communicate with each other. stuff is excited about the switch. he knows

5 g. will revolutionize data transmission. it's not just that smartphones will connect faster to the internet and with other devices. it's not connectivity all together is being overhauled this is the most important. change. crucial 5 g. will allow autonomy as communication between separate entities. self driving vehicles will be called fit for the road and 5 g. will make virtual reality applications the internet of things smart factories and other new tech much more mainstream fast wireless networking technology connects to servers. which are sometimes located far away on another continent. but this is much too slow for autonomy as vehicles and similar applications if you have. 5 g. on the other hand taps into decentralized processing power by using small servers

connected to the network. distrust the cli decreases response times aren't latency . the goal is to reduce response times to below 5 milliseconds. virtual reality applications will build on these ultra fast response times which is good news for good stuff who's looking forward to the more tactile internet even tell a surgery performed remotely across vast distances could become possible. smartphone technology would change to. the plan is for numerous small antennae to optimize our connections so we can receive personalized data packages. signals can be pinpointed amplified or dialed down as needed. this will help reduce our exposure to radio frequency radiation. to achieve higher

data transmission speeds 5 g. will use more of the electromagnetic spectrum. stuff can't wait for his new 5 g. phone. with it he'll be able to sue mutatis li download and upload data on the 3rd perk of accelerated 5 g. data transmission speeds. is an electrical engineer and researcher he's been coordinating the fight to lead german a major technology with 600 scientists since 2014 so what's fighting about. this new evil radically change our lives if the question is whether people will realize 5 to technologies at play. or an autonomous taxi driver takes them to the theater they will not say and that's 5

to technology that's come up instead of 5 g.'s more like a discrete facilitator working in the back row it in from you but it will all become an essential element of our future lives of thinking that one of 5 g. lab germany's research areas is the tactile internet. 5 g. will offer lightning quick response times ideally as low as one milli 2nd r 1000 a 2nd. 5 g. connectivity a top tile glow phone be able to transmit precise movements to robots and vice versa. virtual objects will feel like the real deal. creating a new interface between humans and machines i think of when i'm with we have found is that this millisecond that everyone talks about matters a lot if you play an instrument let's say we plug a string but the sound doesn't reach our ear with milliseconds you feel

disconnected from that instrument called the touch something in a virtual environment and receive instant haptic feedback from a so called i'm told and then this will also feel real to us and can make this can from a. british university of carving trees are pretty little by some 5 technology in its own network the decision has made milk learning much easier during the coronavirus pandemic. assistant professor voyagers teaches a cutting edge anatomy seminar. he takes his physiotherapy students are an immersive virtual reality journey inside the human body. and students to be immersed within the body within a blood vessel within the muscles in the bones to have a spirit something more than

a code in their traditional textbooks. this is possible thanks to the university's very own 5 g. network in combination with cloud x. our technology students can stream virtual reality content in real time and even when many devices are connected response times remain lightning fast 5 almost why didn't the chub the information goes down so with forgery we know the chips fairly big and lots of information go goes down the tube with 5 g. that chub might wind up by about 10 times so we get far more information down which means we can get what's a very good visuals happening in real time between the lecture and the student. judeans can use their smartphones to stream letters a useful feature of this pandemic when social distancing is key. teach students in a range of settings so they don't all have to be in the same classroom they can be across a compass and we can interact with them and have

a 2 way discussion. because of the pandemic many students are working by themselves but a nigga virtual reality seminar on campus is a welcome change. in the reman learning come because i but it makes it more exciting and interesting and therefore you want to learn online and it's makes your quality of work still really high even though you know physically in uni you learn are not to me very practically. and cost work before every times we were kind of using each other as models to identify the kind of brain structures and muscles and this is. showing that same structures but in a much more detailed close up fashion. marking wires and it's called leagues hope they can develop many more innovative teaching methods like this using 5 g.

technology. but are there health risks linked to this new mobile network technology some people are convinced there are. 2 scientists agree. on a fish that's critical of 5 g. technology she doesn't think we need it. just care for 5 g. because mobile network technology generally is a health risk and find even more so it hasn't even been properly studied there is just a few preliminary studies and those have alarming finding us that scares me and we're basically guinea pigs. so it's on i and other activists want to make people in the city of hyper aware of the danger. of radio frequency radiation her husband hans-peter fishback a similarly concerned to keep their families safe the parents do what they can to shield their home from radiation. really we've thought about ways to protect

ourselves in our own fruiting to. pay to measures outside radiation levels and has wire mesh in place to shield his family home from radio waves the fish baths are especially cautious about protecting their daughters monica and sagna from exposure inside the home everyone uses ether net cables to access the internet sources of electromagnetic radiation like why fibro tears aren't allowed. sagna does have her own smartphone but her parents have her using an internet cable to go on line. this get closer and i don't think this works for all smartphones and it took awhile until my father found out which adapter i needed to make it work but yet i'm happy with it. many studies and books have been published on the effects of mobile phone radiation on the human body some say these prove the technology poses a significant health risk others highlight methodological shortcomings in the

research for example in a major u.s. study that showed that radio frequency radiation caused cancer in rats germany's federal office or radiation protection says this finding tells us nothing about the impact of radiation exposure on humans as the rats were subjected to radiation 20 times higher than the permitted limits for humans the german agency does not classify high frequency electric magnetic fields as a health risk. to learn more reporter frank phytic met with an environmental epidemiologist at this was tropical and public health institute and basil. hosley is a renowned expert on mobile phone radiation. there are also concerns were the maybe and. and it's being installed people think this bill the 2 more radiation but is that really the case in this moment at 1st you could think there is more radiation but actually the opposite is true it means anyone using a mobile phone will be exposed to less radiation because phones will have better

reception so phone signals don't have to be a strong and scientists far which reduces over already nation level solving there are relatively recent large scale studies on bret that seem to show radiation causing tumors how can that be explained the other thing well there are inconsistencies also in the study the 1st tumor that was found was a schwannoma of the heart which does not occur in humans there are very few cases worldwide where it has been found the 2nd point is that the rats in the study were exposed to far higher radiation levels apparently it also benefited the rats scientists as they lived longer and seeing that are selling the rats exposed to radiation live longer than those that were not that rarely gets mentioned when you get horrific. he said that there is a long term study on occurrences of brain tumors that spans the mobile phone era. can all but this here are brain tumor incidences in sweden you can see that the

curves remain constant for everyone below the age of 70 that nothing has changed in the past 14 years and you can see an uptick in the age brackets above 79 and i thought that has to do with people growing progressively older after a few of these are all because one ages the risk of developing a brain tumor increases and promoted. as is but the picture is unclear from critics who smart phone radiation seem to have that back in their yards and one of them but the other side says that there is no health risk and argue a clear causal link cannot be established for mr president if you thought that many epidemiological studies with the testicle from many countries in australia england scandinavia show in. you should go higher brain tumor incidents and watch them but the risk we're critics say the dead is should show this so i'm feeling a bit more relaxed though that i research this.

that we'll have more on that later on on the show welcome to the environment show eco africa a military way identity kind of park in lagos now let's see what's coming up on the show today. we'll take a look at a cleverly designed and ambitions free street sweeping device in gonna. find out why farmers in the netherlands are big fans of bads. and hear about how people in the ivory coast are protecting baby turtle. and now we're off to kenya the east african country has a high domestic energy demand i mean many sectors including the team the street people came to find alternatives to fossil fuels kenya is africa's leading producer in cary coal country there are several t. processing companies that are using sustainable energy sources from the local area let's go have some tea.

when the sun shines the rolling landscape of times he comes. into. the special climate here makes it can his most important green region. really has a plantation here he's one of hundreds of thousands of small will the farmers who make a living. he is the place to source of income the main source of income i have the buoys completed from and i've been to. 4 points of support you certainly. have been instances. oughtn't today to be sunny the fact tree here walk us divide up the leaves into batches and prepare them for the drying process. the factory uses

a great deal of firewood but because of deforestation wood is becoming less cause for source in the region. so the fact she has begun replacing it with a brick it's made out of sugarcane residue you. about the compactor do more to grow a lot of storage space under it's also very easy to transport them no less about and from units you move toward the crypt be able to you know it's more in a given road. liberal get some meat in a nearby factory the end made of sugar cane fibers a waste product that is left over in sugar can production sugar factories often dump their residual at the roadside we explored and it meets the greenhouse gases come on the yolk side and me thin. but in this processing plant it is turned into a funny resource fast the sugar can receive is dried and shredded. then

it's pressed into briquettes system made out of a west product no additional land has to be put under cultivation. diaz chevys is an expert for sustainable energy and has been assessing the environmental benefits of briquettes. this is human language circular economy so this is what we want to promote with bio energy and by quantum how you can really have a rounded cycle for biomass back to the t. factory it has been able to replace one 5th of its firewood with pre-k. . and other t. factories are following suit training their weapons on how to make this speech the hope is that one day they will be able to face out fire wood completely.

if they succeed it will help preserve the remaining woodlands and protects the habitat of numerous animals and plants it would also benefit to the tea plantations and the common slave. is that when they use the brigades the company. uses the expenditure and this is money and the money saved goes to the farmers for the environment and the team could use in kenya to bring a sustainable solution with potential the potential to make kenya t. even. in germany like in many other places forest fires are a growing problem so understanding how best to help for us recover i regenerate is more important than ever a group of scientists decided to see what would happen if a force destroyed by fire well left more or less change all devices to several yes

we may think we are vast in many ways but as is so often the case when given the chance mother nature will heal herself even from damage caused by humans like us. whether beech trees maples or estens jeanette bloom her and here are always glad to see a new member of the family arrive about 12 months ago the 2 researchers began documenting changes big and small to this section of a forest ravaged by fire. we got what we hoped for i mean the ecosystem is starting to recover and certain species are quickly appearing and spreading such as these aspens they've now brought about changes to the area that are in turn helpful for other species. don't for a good 6 and in aug 28th seen a forest fire raised almost 4 square kilometers of woodland outside the town of

twine pleats in eastern germany an area larger than 500 soccer pitches the usual practice after a forest fire is to clear the entire area and replant trees as seen on this private land but not in this case thanks to a government funded project here dead trees are left standing. at the local forest think it is testing an alternative solution removing most of the dead pine trees and planting other species in their place the idea is to create a mixed forest that's also home to oaks poplars and other deciduous trees. to me so i can i 1st wanted to see which species of tree i could use and how old they needed to be before being transplanted carrying out tests is important to get the full picture 1st. and that's when the forest abroad in the expertise of these

researchers they're here to find out the best way for a forest to be able to regenerate and become more climate resistant with or without human assistance. the researchers take a hands off approach limiting their work to observing which plants and animals settle in the habitat it's a rare opportunity. it's now standard procedure to see to it that we repair the damage that humans have done all too frequently we do not give nature the time or space to do that itself and that deprives us of the chance to learn from nature to forgive him for all the false stuff and. among the things they have learned is that in addition to providing shade dead wood also in the hands of the soil when it falls to the ground it creates more humus which gives the soil more

moisture the work is carried out on his test areas is on a smaller scale than is common in conventional forest management they're barely accessible by car and he's a wreck did a fence around the forest to keep the larger animals at bay he left a number of dead trees standing leaves have also been spread to keep the soil moist and to protect it during drought year we're seeing large scale forest fires in the region and that's going to continue so we need to learn how to respond to. that and that's why researchers in it blue murder is here she's been collecting data on soil humidity and temperature which plants and animals settle there and how all these factors impact on the ecosystem 8 other research institutes are also involved in the project the data gathered over the project's 5 year time frame is being collected at her university and has filed a near bilin but he doesn't have that psych death data shows that natural reach

even nation far exceeds the number of trees planted by humans. we've seen up to 3 times the amount. naturally resettling compared to the prying or oak trees that were planted on the area that i sent it off to africa found wooden. the researches are also part of an international network they're eager to hear about the experiences of colleagues in the us and mediterranean countries and to learn if and how forest ecosystems can be made more robust. so if you wish to go and starts cooling our work is really important it can help us to compare biomes or large ecological zones so that we can discuss common patterns or and also told. one thing the number of studies show is that even the remains of trees killed or damaged in severe fires help the forest ecosystem rebound which

supports the argument of letting nature be. now we are equal africa love people who take initiatives to help protect the environment our next report looks at a young innovator you gonna who has a truck with a view of finding cost effective solutions and sustainable ones to the problems facing his community his latest suit will bring jobs a bicycle that doubles as a little sweep here is this week's doing your job. this is no ordinary fi can train. this weeping bicycle collects trash as it travels the streets of a crime on its inventor frank darko is on a mission he wants to help clean up gonna ask capital. i'm not happy you're gonna go outside. and i see so many robberies from

a grown up is so sad and i want to see someone east from another country broken out on i feel like fighting but i want to be tough i'm very same so will is my new invention i am i believe i come cheap and convenient i can do all i can put an end welcome to something can you do that to restrain the risk on the streets. he puts his sweeping bicycles together from discarded bikes and scrap may so. it takes the south to engineer around a month to complete one. it's just one of several inventions he's working on. from dhaka and hopes he will one day own a factory and his eco bike idea will sweep across the nation. and how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send us a tweet. after doing your bit. sharing

your stories. pollution is a problem all over the world and comes in a range of forms some obvious like plus it waste in our rivers and oceans all of a cloud of smoke billowing out of factories but even some things we consider useful can be the souls of pollution and have their own kind of impact on our wellbeing we shed a little light on the issue in a new segment called eco chick. gazing at a sky resplendent with stars. something many people around the world are sadly no longer able to enjoy. and advance thanks to artificial light while there are no up to date figures available in 24 team the skies over hong kong were already 2 times brighter than they might be naturally. we suffer

sleep deprivation from too much artificial light including that emitted by smartphones. it also disrupts the orientation of nocturnal birds and insects. our energy consumption could also be cut drastically by ensuring responsible outdoor lighting. for starters it would help if advertising signs and building facades weren't eliminated all my long. and if nighttime lights were used only for the places where it's really needed. some cities have already committed to minimizing artificial light such as fulda in germany it's among the $29.00 places so far to earn recognition as international dark sky communities. cities like these make it possible to see the

starlit sky again and reset the. body clocks of us creatures to their natural rhythm. dock this not only helps us get a better night's sleep it's crucial for maintaining a balance in nature light pollution poses a serious threat. to scenes like bots however scientists in the netherlands seems out found a solution to this by creating special refuge areas for the flying mammals and that isn't of keeping the bats safe they also make sure the. system is preserved. and there's one. and their special on a figure at least 5. far away from the bright lights of amsterdam ducted commute is after creature that likes to operate under the cover of darkness

. he is studying how lights are affecting bats so far his team has found that the 19 species of bat found in the netherlands react in widely different ways. let's have a very strong response to light there's actually driven by mostly by fear of predators so if you're about that flies very slowly you better hide away and don't show yourself in the light because it's it's risky however if you're a bat that flies very fast and very low then you don't need to be afraid that much for predators so you actually like taking away. from this low flying species and giving it to do these already common. but species and that's one of course not a good thing in terms of biodiversity you actually reducing biodiversity. nocturnal

species are sensitive to the blue range of light as they have evolved to use the moon to navigate the brighter the blue the more distracting it is to test how species respond to other parts of the spectrum the researchers have put up almost $200.00 lamp posts around the country that shine a range of colors. if you take away the blue part of the spectrum and compensate by a bit more rats which you actually see here. it may actually be less intrusive for these species not all species may not perceive this light this intense and that's exactly what we have observed. the world over brightness and luminosity are growing at a rate of 2 percent per year. as the night gets more illuminated studies are linking light pollution to destructive natural cycles as well as mental health and

human. and there are outside i know often farmers on a cold and carlos phase are also members of the community fighting for darkness and its bouts for reasons of their own we try to. kill well you would say the harmful insects in the natural way so we use. insects to cool to kill other insects and that's where also the bats common because birds eats lotsof 1st and 1st they actually eat the roots off to fruit trees especially the apple trees and so if the bets eat a lot of schaefer's we don't have those terrible grips in the ground eating our roots to treat so. that's why we like best. that work is

natural best decides and our next sentient part of how the ecosystem of the altered functions. in this farm even has a bad hotel to make the mammals feel extra welcome. you can see over here. that the that there are vets living in the better trial because the civil courts over you on the move. there excrements their pool. the community around has installed special back friendly lights in the area to make sure the animals stay put as night falls. you know something. around 10 pm the bats check out of the hood and disposed through the farm ready for a meal and to play their role in the ecosystem. maurice donner's is a researcher at signifies the company in the design the lights around the orchard.

you know. he explains that lighting is more than merely installing glowing lamps. we need lighting but we do through should do it in a really sustainable way. show obviously energy efficiency. in. cradle to cradle solutions but also in the direct effect is fighting enough and we have the optimal of have in fact become darker as a result of such initiatives as satellite images show giving some of its residents and its resident bats the beloved's night sky back. like these beautiful birds returning to africa we had to be in the southwest could the watson meet another group of people who invest a lot of time and energy to help keep animals safe is birds are having fun here in this case sea turtles these marine reptiles spend most of your lives in water but
