city where the coronavirus 1st emerged china has brought infection rates down to almost 0 in an exuberant exhibition the communist party celebrates victory in what it cause its war on the epidemic with tributes to soldiers and medics who work themselves with sourcing during the outbreak but 1st and foremost the party celebrates self and the general secretary xi jinping was hailed as the man who led the country to victory. john hi is one of them he is on his way to the municipal government. but isn't this the people's government taking pictures is not allowed. like the country i mean i think they should change their name from the people's government of one hand to the bureaucrats government of on one hand. john hi normally

grievances many others appear to have put the experience behind them night life is back on the streets especially young people enjoy their newly returned free to others but many places in the words to struggle with the pen dam in the city where it all began is moving on. in international air pollution rankings chinese cities are normally ranked the worst but recently the title has belong to the curtis capital of bishkek. call is selling like hotcakes in the freezing cold winter temperatures in the city of bishkek average at minus 6 different celsius call is an essential good because homes on the outskirts aren't connected to the city's central heating network. made

headlines several times in december for being the number one most polluted city in international air quality ratings but people here say the smog is a problem every year in the winter news just as a god of fish character it's like this when you leave the city the sky is clear but . i think this is because of the negligence of the government and no one is monitoring the situation and the smog is a direct consequence of that. lies in a valley and smog covers it like a lid get it is authorities admit they don't know the exact source of the pollution the country's prime minister recently said this mainly coal powered heating plant could be behind up to 20 percent of the emissions he ordered the government to look into switching to gas. for now though air quality sensors in the city show the air is hazardous to people's health the concentration of cancerous particles is several times higher than the norm and. environmental activists feel authorities are all

talk and no action they're protesting against the city's latest planning document they say new buildings are blocking the wind unlocking the smog inside the city. the plan is only in the interest of the construction lobby the building companies and big all of dark so you can use though. in other countries they would have declared an emergency situation by now but here they just pretend nothing's happening. but for now local environmental inspectors are stuck in forcing existing norms today they're checking the quality of the coal used to heat the boiler at this local school even many government institutions are still heated with coal. regular people will keep eating with call because this is the most cost effective we can ban the use of coal in the winter people have to live they have to cook.

was everyone has access to a gas connection and to an affordable electricity supply there simply won't be smog here anymore. but kyrgyzstan's gas provider raised prices this year and the coronavirus has hit the country's cash strapped economy hard so for now the move away from coal and from this layer of smaug fields far off . some young gymnast's in germany have been subjected to intimidation humiliation and painful training from their coaches 2 of them share their stories with d.w. . mayumi and ruby vandyke learning to love gymnastics all over again for many years their love for the sport had disappeared. aged 10 and primed for big things

between this move to an elite training center near cologne but when their performances dipped they say they were called fat and lazy by their coach thus slim's the front is the worst thing was when he said he wouldn't come to competitions with us because we were embarrassing him when you're 14 or 15 you need a coach he supports you no matter how badly the statement one on one occasion during a ball is exercise naomi said she was purposely dropped on her head to teach her a lesson before i had he pushed me 2 or 3 times to go down lower but i knew he wasn't holding me properly that's why i didn't go lower and then i did under pressure but he let go of me and said there you see. if. they complained to the local gymnastics association but say they weren't taken seriously or believed it makes a field day with a problem with devastating affects on their development. at the time naomi and ruby

were given 3 options either put up with the coach quit the sport or as they ended up doing moved to the olympic training center in chemicals earlier this month problems. there were uncovered by the ship eagle magazine a dozen other gymnasts accused the head coaching chemists gabrielle or fraser of bullying them and making them train through injury naomi and ruby say pain killers and injections were handed out freely without prescriptions and without the knowledge of athlete's parents but the twins felt they couldn't speak up because of the baggage they'd come with. for ruby that acceptance came at a price and she was forced to ignore her constant back pain with one coach telling her it was just pretty competition of. names and she would often tell me i was imagining the pain in my back but i didn't know the difference between so muscles and real pain that went on for a year and a half and at some point i believed i was imagining it the run up to those matters

now and they don't if it wasn't her imagination though ruby having been denied access to her mit scans would eventually need an operation. fraser who's been suspended pending an investigation has called all the allegations baseless and says she never overstepped the mark it was her strong denials that prompted naomi and ruby to tell their story. these days the twins only compete in the national the no longer dreaming of international success but at least now they can perform again with a smile on their faces. long commutes to school or a huge problem for many children in south africa. and n.-g. o. wants to change that. is

new concern arrives i feel like a small child who's a bottle opener like a park and it's really like this is the changes you put into the country doesn't have a pretty good idea when you know the vertical feet. sweet bite got going are stiff and has already provided more than $1800.00 bicycles to schools each one 1st has to be assembled and tested at the sweet bike workshop the project depends on donations depending on how much money comes in something and the team buy an import up to several containers full each year. the workshop has 5 trainee mechanics. is in charge here together they process about 40 pikes a day vocational training is another core element of sweet bikes mission. the aim is to end hot skills and create jobs and new opportunities in bicycle

assembly pass and distribution the idea is at the end of the year to equip them we have enough skills so they can either open their own workshop or be placed in a job opportunity in the field these spikes are for in kulu primary school. progress is slow on the unpaved road. the children are excited about the bikes. especially as if they charge. for her it had been a long wait. balancing on 2 wheels takes a little parked. but to seal a child who is keen to learn and would like nothing more than to cycle to school the very next day.

water is the source of life but too much water can be deadly unlike berlingo in kenya that's exactly what's happening i grew up in my past 20 years of life i've spent my thinking on. water levels are continuously rising to deforestation and climate change. can and environmental catastrophe still be stopped. 77 percent. of. his life and work have been romanticized and marketed internationally vincent van gough we take a look at the man behind the legend. who was here. how did he become in the world why phenomenon on the 100 and 30th anniversary of his death vincent van goth superstar. in 45 minutes on d w. what secrets lie behind. discover

new adventures in 360 degree. and explore fascinating world heritage sites the cool e.w. world heritage 360 get kidnapped now. hello and welcome to the 77 percent my name is it is the money and this week we have such a special edition the last show where we're talking about how we. the youth are being affected by the changes in our environment coming to you from this scenic lake bulgaria national reserve right here in kenya. coming up on the show. we hear from. a young activist from uganda has joined the global climate movement to find out how on the site community in kenya is adapting to climate change i mean we meet young people on the beach and what they're up to

might surprise you. we're here as i mentioned at least will gori which is a salt water lake in kenya as part of the east african rift valley scientists however warning that an ecological catastrophe is imminent if the water levels here continue to rise as we speak the lakes in this area at the highest level since kenya's independence in 1063 the water levels have been rising here for years but extreme weather patterns and usually heavy rains and human activities have made the situation even more dire for the people living here so i spent some time in the area spoke to residents who explained how their lives have been affected by climate anomalies like bulgaria so swollen from rising water levels at the shoreline changes every day. we see this early on in our trip when the access road unexpectedly becomes part of the league. has

just arrived to open her restaurant. dramatic. water this water just came in with a new one so it came slowly and slowly until it got to this level so without any notice you have to demolish within just a few seconds. has already been forced to move her business once it's inevitable that she will have to move again and she's not the only one the structure we're looking at is an entry point that was erected by the kenya wildlife service after their original gates was submerged by water 800 took 3 months before the lake eventually caught up with this one and we can clearly see that this water is unrelenting what we can see but because certainly smell is the similar rigs that's also being brought to be this because obviously people here use trains and all their contents are now underwater and the water is clearly unrelenting because all around us the ground and these little all over the place the extent of the

flooding can be seen clearly from neighboring lake or ringold the freshwater lake has expanded by 60 percent in the last 70 years this year has been by far the worst . folks out to a guy grew up on the shores of the snake work has been scarce as most of the hotels are now underwater. believe just one of many flooded screens in the area. near the scene decaying building. significant for folks. my 1st 20 years of life. i don't know what i'm going to. wear here on top go to investigate what scientists have called an ecological catastrophe waiting

the lakes around the great rift valley region have been rising dramatically and what you can see behind me is actually one of the effects. hotels hospitals and schools all drowned by these disasters some say that it could be tectonic shifts under us which are causing this most people argue that this is actually an effect of climate change. scientists a warning that fresh water and salt. could manage the cross contamination would destroy the balance in the ecosystem. to understand what is happening to the lakes we head to the forest. to the rivers that feed the lakes in the rift valley forest is recovering from years of deforestation. david weston has been a conservationist for more than 50 years he says the destruction of the catchment areas is just one in a series of linked problems the pastoral people are settling down in place so what

that means. you have heavy grazing. really prominent around the basin up in the hills on the side so all of a roof has been washed off. so in 2008 had rainfall which was the equivalent. then followed last year by these extraordinary rains which have continued for a whole year so that means that. huge amount of runoff and siltation and it's the combination of those 2 that have made the rift valley lakes and even other areas like amber sally just lift 10 sometimes 15 meters. strong bring. its. revolution. is visibly worried and soon how worst fears are realized the want to level has gone up again this could be the last day. it's the following day and construction has

started on higher ground this is where china gets new coleman business when. it's a fresh and easy start no one can be sure the what to which right this high because no one believes the water would ever get as far as it already has. all right so we've heard from people here how the rising water levels have affected them and with me is mr head rio he's actually a farmer it's his father used to be at least just a couple of metres from where we are and i wanted to find out from you mr. how has your life changed since the water started coming into your life actually. we have been having a problem just floods quite a long time since the beginning of this year alone this what i started from. how far was the lake originally. and from

where we're sitting where we are standing. on a school we just we just. we. just left. a world where your. location. so we have internally displaced persons within. this supplication because of these water levels but also you have a stew told me that you very quickly had to go into the water and get your means when the water was up to here what are you doing about your livelihood i mean that was your harvest we just try to. very small number because of the we have all of those. which are being overbearing to certain people not even to. those the small missiles we try to get. people just we have to this what the

destroying a lot of a lot of. so your homes your means of life but i can see that please a gentleman here who's fishing is now what you're doing because you started off as pastoralist then the weather was bad there was drought he's decided you want to become a farmer and now you're becoming fisherman you see. community we used to be possible just but because no we are different like we see the fish is there is a little fishy here and what's in there is also well and more. crocodiles but because of drought. people are a lot of. problems and i don't doubt food shelter but the only thing you can get now is this since this is a fish so people just are so to fishing but not all of them some very few different ones who will do the like you are doing fishing but because of poverty you're forced to change your way of life ok and finally you talked about hippos and

crocodiles is this something that you having to deal with human wildlife conflict how close to the hippos gets and the crocodiles. so in this water as we speak these people as it is a lot of peoples there's a lot of grace all along here. very much threatened people live in order in fact. people not to come close very close to the socialists or sort of things like this one because those animals are very. they're very much they're not normally come out of. the time like this one so there is a big problem that while you month or life conflict. well mr henry left her we really thank you for your time and i'm really sorry for what is happening here thank you. now while people here are trying to come to terms with the changes happening here many of us are adapting our lifestyles to the changing world around us in small ways further south from here in iraq we met sally not in quietly who

told us about how she and particularly the women in how my community are adapting to climate change. lives in. a small settlement 140 kilometers west of kenya's capital nairobi. she wants to raise awareness about climate change and how my psych community. long droughts and unpredictable weather conditions related to climate change i want the biggest challenge is the must now face claim eaton's has seen as experienced long that growth plates to be full but now it's hard to predict 3 predict even there with the grazing lands becoming more cus it's forcing the most is to keep. the amount of cattle so limited there's really made the most a be forced to move from being nomadic buster list to looking for other sources of income. they want and then again only when you.

think you know. the option of moving to greener pastures has always been the basis of the most high is way of life. but now sustainable agriculture can be a solution to address nutrition security in the messiah community selena mouth spends her time showing my side women how to grow spinach and other vegetables. but it takes a lot of effort to convince traditionally nomadic it was settled and financial then yes now i have begun to think that a community we really need and the ultimate source of livelihood and security. an interest in security and i thought why not start kropf i mean he said of just having to do you know my request to release him so now it's just important to train a recipe for a our sources of we would nutrition security and even sources of income because the secrets you can you can from them at any time.

selina hopes to convince pacifically younger women in the messiah community because they'll be the ones bringing change to the family. yes. for me it's my generation that within a vision my eggs that are the 1st ones to go to school to get a formal education so it's up to us to educate the community and bring back the knowledge we have to share with them so that we can grow together the whole population would be left behind it's only vindicated people who have been the lead and the expertise and the only ones who can do things so we really have to share this knowledge and that is what we are doing now. what climate change is such all to the must live lifestyle dramatically adapted to the changes could keep the communities going. now i want to take you out of kenya and broaden the view

a little see climate change has really become a rallying cry for young people globally in 2018 a swedish teenager gretta to invoke spearheaded the fridays for future movements which saw students around the world demanding climate action from world leaders while we haven't seen huge climate protests on the african continent compared for example to some other parts of the world there are people who are working hard and dedicated their time to raising awareness and calling for climate justice the only problem is that it's sometimes harder to make your voice heard here in africa and here's why. vanessa narcotic she has become the symbol of the ugandan climate movement the 24 year old got involved in climate activism in 2018 after her country was hit by unusually high temperatures joining the world wide climate protests vanessa camped with other activists in the freezing cold

switzerland at the world economic forum's unfortunately she didn't get the same attention that other activists got she was cropped out of a published group photo and the incident went viral in an online press take months and a copy hit back at racism in the media other activists joined in solidarity including dawning bruno from south africa and gratitude from sweden you're focusing on tried activism from different corners of you know the western countries but what you're doing wrong is try as much as possible to says art and it is the voices from the global south it makes us feel like they are up to visit and the disasters in us wouldn't be sending care for you but the incident didn't deter vanessa from continuing her fight and drawing attention to climate change issues in africa. what's happened. turned out to be

a positive thing because of how we responded to aids eyes up to these from up we got and it was our work and most used tools stand up and rise up and demand for action as well as our within the media and the public about the dangers of climate change. before the pandemic she also took her activism into the classroom at this school in central uganda she wanted to inspire the next generation to get passionate about the environment it's a message she says the children need to hear. the practical issues. i believe that every kid deserves an opportunity to be in such a close to clearly understand the importance of the things that they see in their environment these kids understand they clearly knew they were going to see this tree but if you come into that trust and teach them and remain there that gives them our lot and our way out of the destruction that causes that that goes on in

their environment and pushes them to go south. since the start of the pandemic vanessa has kept up her activism online she's used her social platforms to draw attention to issues such as climate education climate catastrophe use and clean energy vanessa has also found her voice on an international stage. leaders must acknowledge that we are in a crisis i'm stuck treating it as a crisis the people on the planet must come 1st before anything else if you do not treat climate change as a crisis then you will not do what is necessary for us to get out of this mess. vanessa believes that climate change is intrinsically tied to poverty hunger and conflict and she hopes that the leaders both at home in new. and will act quickly

enough to change things. the world produces more plastic than we need and we see it everywhere actually even all around me in 2017 can introduce one of the world's toughest laws against single use plastic bags in fact you can even get fined for carrying one rhonda has gone a step further and they've also banned plastic bottles straws and even coffee cups and the reason for these measures is that most of the world's plastic ends up in landfills or oceans or places like these it's estimated that by the year 2050 there will be more plastic weight in water than fish so we asked our correspondents from across the continent how their countries have been dealing with plastic waste and management littering is illegal and city authorities try to target the culprits that's currently no law that prevents people from using plastics all the wonder is such this really implemented and to littering laws but zimbabwe soon needs to do

more. like many emerging markets around the world nigeria is generating more waste than ever this is because the population is growing and people are consuming more than they used to research shows that nigeria is among the top 20 countries in the world with the largest share of plastic waste that ends up in the ocean and estimates at 200000 metric tons of plastic waste is this chart from nigeria into the atlantic ocean every year. capito campolo a clean city that's a great story of discussion where it did. some parts of the city are really clean well maintained bridges are this kind of reflective exact office and it's going to syria plus it got to be thrown out of a speeding car or dumped. been a dream it's a rather subtle looks

a bit much more organized than it was. literary of any nature is a big challenge for zimbabwe though until literary laws exist then mint is very weak if you go on the streets these are hardly enough rubbish bins to throw litter in people end up throwing litter anyhow the end result is the karens of water borne diseases like typhoid and cholera. well there you have it there not enough laws preventing people from littering and in many cases there are no proper waste collection or management facilities provided by governments or cities who really should be picking them up luckily there are always a few people who are willing to either volunteer or do something for their communities so let's have a look. well that's impressive skyline on expensive yachts the
