earth. starts feb 11th on t.w. . this is news live from berlin some 2 and a half 1000 people are detained and. right across russia. tens of thousands turned out in the capital moscow it was the largest protests in the years continuing long into the night the wife of jailed kremlin critic alex is among those detained. and the portuguese head to the polls to choose

a president for the next 5 years with the country in total pandemic locked out. welcome to the program russian police have detained more than 2500 people after supporters of jailed opposition figure aleksei novelli took to the streets in large nationwide protests his wife. is among those detained after marching for his release at an anti-government protest in moscow she was one of tens of thousands protesting what they called kremlin corruption and the wrongful arrest of her husband. with chance of putin as a thief and freedom for thousands of demonstrators rallied throughout russia. and government officials say at least 4000 people gathered in moscow as pushkin's gaius

square independent observers put the number at more than 10 times that. police detained participants on mass at the un sanctioned demonstration. amongst those were bundled into police vans were alexina felonies wife yulia. and prominent supporters of the opposition leader like his aide. the jailed opposition leader called for the demonstrations after he was arrested at a moscow airport and quickly sentenced to 30 days in jail. for many of the demonstrators today's protests were about more than free no. janja of them. not for of all me or against putin i don't care who's in charge i just want to live like a human being that's it like a human being like

a normal person that's it that's why i'm here today. most organizers didn't apply for permits expecting they wouldn't be granted and ahead of the protests authorities warn security forces would be deployed citing concerns about the covert pandemic. refrain from participating. i have to warn you that law enforcement agencies will ensure that the necessary order is kept in the city. arrests were made in cities large and small across the country as part of the largest opposition action in years. and alexina vollies anticorruption foundation is calling on its supporters to prepare for another wave of protests next weekend. and news moscow correspondent emily sherwood who's reporting on those rope protests all day for says his political fortunes and his anti corruption message received

a boost during today's demonstrations these are as you say the biggest protests i think we've seen for the last few years the biggest number of arrests as well and it was unusual today to see that protests didn't just take place in moscow and st petersburg which usually sees big protests in these cases but also across the entire country and the team these anti corruption fund have already announced that they're planning for new protests next week presumably those 2 will be across the country and they also have announced in the past that they are likely that they want to publish other investigations as well other anti corruption investigations presumably into politicians here in russia so it does seem that the opposition here and now behind these team in particular are trying to keep the pressure up especially ahead of upcoming elections in september. let's have

a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world an overflowing river flooded streets and homes in the central british town of beautifully after heavy rainfall firefighters rescued a number of people trapped in the rising waters residents have called for a permanent flood barrier to be installed. veteran american t.v. and radio broadcaster larry king has died at the age of 87 king was best known for his talk show larry king live on c.n.n. which he hosted for 25 years the journalist is reported to have died after battling coke and 19 he also suffered several other health problems in recent years. british prime minister boris johnson said there is now evidence to suggest the new coronavirus very 1st attack in the united kingdom is not only more contagious but more deadly as well they're taken has now spread to more than 60 countries and britain itself is struggling hard to bring infections under control. lining up for

their chance at immunity the people in this queue at a mass vaccination center in glasgow will soon join more than 5000000 others in the u.k. who have had their 1st shot against clothed 19 but the british medical association has now want the government it should reconsider making people white to long for their 2nd jab. and no other nation in the world hasn't dropped at that 12 week delay like the u.k. i mean all those other countries are also suffering similar pressures they have their scientists have adopted their position to try and keep their manufacturers. guidance but also the w.h.s. own proposal of a maximum of 42 days in the u.k. adopted its 12 week policy to give as many people as possible a 1st dose of the vaccine quickly but the manufacturers of the pfizer biotech

vaccine specifically recommend an interval of only 3 to 4 weeks between its doses so we don't think this will have a major impact on the rollout of the vaccination program this wote reduce the numbers who can be vaccinated but it what it would do is is vaccinate people in accordance with the best available evidence and with the greatest assurance of protection after the 2nd dose their concern does not involve the astra zeneca vaccine because manufacturers have approved a 12 week delay between jabs. it comes just one day after government medical advisors revealed that the new virus variant in the u.k. could be more deadly than the original strain the new assessment is based on spot with more research needed but it's a stock warning to remain vigilant for the country with the world's highest clue that 19 deaths right. in a hospital in berlin is in full corn tina after patients and staff members tested

positive for that british variant of code 19 at least 14 people at the home world clinic have contracted the more infests infectious strain the hospital has stopped admitting new patients and staff are under so-called subtle quarantine during which they can only travel between their homes and the hospital. feeder liza is a member of the european parliament and focuses on health issues for the e.p. p. group of conservative parties he's also a medical doctor dr lisa we just heard about an entire hospital in quarantine in berlin how would you rate the german government's handling of this pandemic this is a very concerning news and i think the federal government. minister. did a very good job on over the last months but the problem in germany is that we are a federal state and the many necessary measures that has to be implemented to slides a virus are under the control of the lender of the regions and here i was always

a bit frustrated that they didn't follow the advice of going to america and the federal government. ok now just zooming out to the european level you're a member of the european parliament europe is looking at new travel restrictions between certain countries are they really necessary do you think. i think they are i'm a member of the european parliament i'm always for open borders but this you know tainted by rules from england and the other ones from south africa and brazil they really raise concern we have to be careful and crossing the borders will spread the virus faster and i think that's why we need to limit travel to the absolute necessary of course doctors and nurses need to travel of course essential goods need to possible but we should do or proper testing and i see trans is a good example we should all follow france. and just to.

wither away from individual countries and look forward to the vaccines that are on the table and providing a lot of hope to people had a bit of a setback with news that astra zeneca has vaccine won't be available in the quantities promised at the time promised how much of a setback is that for europe and really angry with this company. i've seen the last word is not yet spoke you know they announced that in the u.k. the supply will continue as planned but because there is a supply chain issue at the european continent they will cut the supply in the european union by 60 percent this is completely unacceptable we have a contract the european commission has a contract and they should fulfill and when there is a problem everybody should be reduced and not other parts of the word continue as

a supply i'm really sure european union is the biggest market in the world and this company cannot afford to treat us as bad i expect a change of the planning in the next hours over the weekend and we will get the vaccine in february we will get millions of dollars i know a lot of people are fighting for this now. ok well we'll be watching out for that dr peter lisa thank you for your insight from the european parliament and the group there thanks so much. voters and portugal head to the polls on sunday in a presidential election not surprisingly one issue has dominated the campaign portugal has one of the worst covert 19 infection rates in the world the country is in total lockdown so turnout is expected to be very low restrictions on free movement are being lifted for election day but voters are being told they must bring their own pens to make a cross on the ballot paper. it's the all important issue in portugal the

presidential election. has organized many elections in portugal's capitalist but this time he faces expected just tickle challenges the biggest problem finding enough election workers for the more than 12000 polling stations in the country the number of election workers in our database changes every day many volunteers have become infected with hiv aids we also feel that cancelled at the last minute that's a real problem though the election process in portugal has been in a complete lockdown since mid january but infections continue to rise dramatically 90 percent of intensive care places doctors representatives say it's like a war the government is using promotional videos to convince voters that they can cause that ballot safely but there are fears that turnout will be historically low

. and opened media saying election time just postponed because there's no end to the pandemic inside. the president's current mandate is ending and just stay on long island otherwise the portuguese constitution which have to be changed. yet as he was rushed to the ins to do so almost all forecasts that the incumbent presidents marcello rebello this also will be reelected despite the current explosion in coronavirus cases most portuguese people believe the conservative politician has the country whether through the crisis. it's a presidential election completely different from previous ones all campaign events have been cancelled instead of candidates and their agendas it's all about corona and safety at the polling stations for many portuguese stopping the dramatic rise of infection numbers seems more important at the moment then the question of who

will be the next president back at the polling station volunteers take a well deserved break but there is no end to the bad news the aggressive british variant of the virus is spreading faster and faster on top of that election organize us worry that bad weather across the country would prevent more people from voting time for sports now in the bonus league in saturday's early watch as well as for got the better of labor careers and a top 5 clash after 35 minutes a mistake from leverkusen defender jonathan ta opened the door for the back to nobody in the only goal of the match ensuring the wolves run out one winners that means they move up to 4th in the table now level on points with today's opponents. let's take a look at all the bonus legal results after saturday's matches. second from bottom might be 2nd from top leipsic leverkusen last a waltz berg freiburg beat stuttgart in

in the midst of the ongoing coronavirus crisis online shopping has been booming the reasons appear to be obvious many people around the world voiding shops and prefer to shop from home the following products where is specially popular during the 1st weeks of the crisis in germany had sets the monster on the increase of you. the 900 percent that makes sense as germans are known to be hardworking and had said simply working from home more efficient free weights an increase of 2740 percent for that little bit of exercise between work calls for us saw an increase in demand of close to 3000 percent the current boom in online shopping has specially benefited one company amazon the american financial analyst tom ford says covert 19 has been amazon's growth. what does amazon do so much better than other businesses that's what we asked the economist from cologne she says is based on several factors.

amazon takes a different approach from other companies where the customer is 100 percent the sole focus and their strategies are consistently geared towards customers and their needs that's what makes them so successful. excess is based on several factors the seemingly never ending choice on its website there are about 300000000 products for sale price many products are really quite cheap and delivery is often cost free . availability amazon delivers right to your doorstep and usually the very next day . claims exchanging a returning something is pretty simple amazon is becoming increasingly integrated into everyday life i can listen to my music there i can watch movies and t.v. series there are many many connecting points. one shortcoming however is being increasingly criticized. the quality control of products offered by 3rd party

suppliers. with products of counterfeit or poor quality the company tries to make the sellers responsible for not always easy to reach. but despite some bad apples usually on amazon the customer is always right sounds great but what consequence. retailers and producers face when almost everything is bought of amazon. today over 50 percent of all online products directly on amazon this is hitting small and medium sized businesses especially hard and they are dependent on participating in amazon's expensive shipping program to remain competitive on the platform. james thompson created the marketplace for amazon today he consults other companies on how to successfully sell products there because your products show up in organic church results there's your product have good customer conversion it all comes back you do in fact use amazon to do your fulfillment so that's one example where as

a seller you basically have to accept that if you want to solve the platform you're going to have to use the shipping program to be relevant amazon has also started selling its own products directly on its platform in 2009 company founded. in the house company amazon basics this brand sells everyday products often at bargain prices and the range is constantly growing because amazon has a very long term perspective they're prepared to lose a little bit of money here in their own individual sales what they want is you the customer to keep coming back to seattle based company has a clear advantage over other amazon's marketplace gives them access to the competition data this online day said let's amazon identify best and use that knowledge for advertising their own products. they're also persistent claims that amazon successful products. stacy michell represents

small and medium sized businesses in their fight against amazon there's a company called green design that makes laptops they have done very well on amazon and great customer reviews and then long you will make i don't want any amazon created and exactly. the amazon marketplace. cut both ways if grounds companies access to a growing number of potential customers us also collects huge amounts of data for its own peppa says. products labeled as best sellers or the deal of the day most successful the same goes for real supermarkets too for vendors the so-called buy boxes on amazon equally important the small check boxes on the website shopping screen that allow cost the most to place products directly into the shopping cart but the algorithm that determines which seller gets the buy votes is kept secret what we do know is that pricing reviews and distance between product and cost them up all influence how sellers are ranked but the most promising key to success is f

b a f be a means fulfillment by amazon vendors that agrees with this the 0 which essentially means pay more for amazon services have high a chances of scoring a buy box stacey mitchell has been monitoring amazon for 10 years and it's consistently causing him more discomfort 3 critical remarks from the point of view . it's amazon's marketplace and the rules of who can sell their on what terms they can sell who gets to see their products how praising works are sent by amazon it would be is the wal-mart you know not only came into your town and opened up a big store are but also bought up all of the commercial real estate and suddenly any business that wanted to open and competing with wal-mart would have to rent from wal-mart and wal-mart could decide whether they got a storefront or not and how much they paid and you know so it's a monopolization on another.

what is true is that amazon actually benefits from counterfeits amazon and uses that as leverage against suppliers so we saw this a few years ago with the shoe company birkenstock they had been complaining to amazon because there were lot of counterfeit birkenstocks on the site and they could not get amazon to do anything about it and eventually amazon said oh yeah you have to sell us your full line issues on the terms that we want and then we'll clean up the counterfeits. those that do find a way. may find if they're successful for 2 or 3 years in the actually begin to build up a bit of a business doing it and hire people and wows really works well once they sort of

get to a certain size a certain amount of say oh this is no amazon kind of notices them at that point and then it starts to get harder suddenly there are more fees and it becomes more and more costly and more and more difficult to be successful the more successful a kompany is on amazon the more expensive it gets for them to use the platform to sell it sounds like a pretty bad deal for individuals hallo's can we as customers do something about it yes but the alternatives usually require a little work one example checking office directly on manufacturer's web sites usually that's cheaper than you think and it even might be beneficial for your warranty they also platforms but icons of climate change and sell products which are free of plastic make sure to use carbon neutral delivery global e-commerce is the extremely profitable which is why other tech giants i'm now trying to catch up google wants to focus on expanding its e-commerce business and is currently testing

a new app shop to the actual short clips of influence does presenting products which can then be directly audit shops target audience is instagram uses so far it's mostly been about beauty products facebook has just introduced shopping on his platform to. includes paper produces greeting cards for part of a growing trend amongst small american companies the from iran business from charleston south carolina uses antique printing presses to mint the carts and the new online shop and facebook to sell them. zuckerberg introduced only in shops to facebook and instagram during the corona crisis he says it's to help retain. as receive some of the financial losses suffered during the pandemic this is going to make up for all of that lost business but it can help and for lots of small businesses during this period this is the difference between staying afloat or

going on over 160000000 small businesses use facebook's infrastructure to advertise products and services they use posts to embed links to their products at 1st the users had to leave the up and buy products directly on the retailers websites but not anymore. in communities paper is one of just a few small businesses and now to test the new e-commerce features jamie 9 june the owner really loves it. when like amazon and sellers here don't need to rely on an expensive shipping program. setting up shops is free no programming skills required . they want people to handwrite words of instagram's i mean it's really. kind of helped us and telling that story so as we looked at their e-commerce features that were coming out. you know it was like wow this completely reduces the friction of going to

a separate website once your credit card is registered you can use it on all apps across the platform it's convenient and it increases how long you stay on the site institute for local self-reliance fears that facebook is using this as a backdoor to collect things in a consumer behavior the whole business model is based on data stacey mitchell says he is using this moment of desperation to position facebook in that market facebook may in a moment be offering a little bit of competition for amazon another way or small business is to get to market but you know we should remember that facebook itself is looking looking to corner the market dominating the market is key facebook introduced the new shops feature amazon is offering an all inclusive experience and apple has been excluding troublesome sellers from the i o. s. universe who can stop the big 4 heads of state as well as small time online sellers

regularly complain about their dominance but then nothing happens that might be about to change though in the u.s. home to these tech giants opposition is growing the big 4 tech executives came under strong scrutiny in an anti-trust comedy hearing in the u.s. house of representatives whether it's through self preference ng predatory pricing or crying used to buy additional products that donna platforms have wielded their power in destructive harmful ways in order to expand that spot on the bigger question is whether the u.s. will take action which means working against the interests of big american companies what do you think do companies that dominate the market like amazon need to be broken up or is the markets have regulatory let us know what you. think on facebook on the w. dot com and if you want to know more about amazon's founder jeff bezos make sure to check out our you tube channel that's it for me goodbye and your next time.

introduce my new co-presenting in nigeria crieff and it is nice to have you with us on the show please oh thank sundra of delighted to be part of the t.v. on this weekly african program for the course of also stability of environmental protection here's a look at what's coming up on today's program. were pulled all the fossil 18 gravis zebras in kenya and how the women scout of the songbird people protect them . will take a look at how scientists are trying to solve a plastic problem. i will tell the story of one german company that wants to save insects rather than kill that. so for us unknown for the a beautiful striking stripes and tourists enough to watch dogs grazing in africa's slums what few people realize is that this course between a wild horse and a donkey is becoming increasingly rare the gravy zebra easily beat me disappearing

from the same we already have it and climate change and coveted loss due to increased farming up to 50 is how pushed the creatures to the brink of extinction but the women from the some community kenya trying to live them. oh oh. shortly after dawn affaires glimpse of previous zebras the presence of genitalia and have troop doesn't seem to border the animals who are normally shy here into some original central kenya the so-called women scouts are on patrol to determine how far does their breasts range the organization zebra trust has trained more than 20 young women to monitor the world's most threatened species.

when i leave home i felt it a sheet to show where my patrol is starting then every 30 minutes i fill in the g.p.s. data to show where i am and if i've seen zebras at the end of the day the organization uses that data to track the routes where i have patrolled. 40 years ago there were 15000 grevious zebras in kenya a lot there are fewer than 3000 they live in one of the driest parts of the country there's a breast cancer vie for up to 5 days without water so they flourished in these conditions where there was no competition from other animals but now he wants have begun to settle here and be ahead miles. the youth of change from the norm under him where come with us to make up for one place to another giving the land follow credit for it for the cover where we've made a community thwarted it over the past rural communities rely mainly on goods and

cows due to the presence of the nearby river humans in the new marseille increasingly occupying the same areas and food is growing scarce on longer dry periods caused by global warming are destroying more and more past a line increasing the pressure on the zebras and the eco system for yes peter lump our has been working with local cattle farmers he believes they can co-exist peacefully with as the press room with. their boats they've got some areas of western aggressing with all those leaders they've got as the growth and grazing area. of the river the boat off buster and so it's a way of rationing posture it's a war for making sure that these quick system between lifestyle and wildly eroded areas are being replanted to benefit all parties they remain in their communities play a key role in this influence can ensure that the next generation will continue to

value doc quick systems. herd animals loosen the soil on the past alliance then semicircular embankment are constructed around areas where grass could start growing again they had a little available rain water and directed onto the fields there some were women out invasive trees to use for firewood grass and other plants grow india please this way $600.00 hectares of pasture land i reclaimed each year. the area of the beef that within a mere thing response where there are no glasses that are over a year have come back. that's still an indication that the if it's working. tradition so important to some people either regions only or brave the women gave thanks for the water and passed us into the ceremony. and.

central today into the ceremony is a message of respect. it also communicates to the rest of the community portals of our conservation wealth and plant grease and never mind that i think yesterday that . the skulls said yeah efforts have led to greater acceptance of the zebras and that has been a fix for all. we should be controlled a movement of livestock and they can eat together with the zebras so the zebras don't wander off in search of pasture this up trucks tori's to the region tourism creates jobs and bass response children who. do church in relations of local people provided with education and training could build up a nature reserve where they zebra population could recover and thrive. informal settlements have become so many many places in africa facing

a rule to auburn migration this is especially true in big cities that growing populations an opportunity to walk and lead better lives but the development of infrastructure can barely keep pace. we can see it every day here in nigeria sandra the pressure on the housing market and the difficulties providing utilities even 4 are in prison now they call one of the biggest cities in africa it's no exception state and private organizations here are working together to build and expand. a sun it's the stuff. artillery going by reka is an area of nigeria's commercial capital lagos but here cooking tends to be done over an open wood fire. and since this informal settlement is not on the grid people use diesel powered generators to get electricity burning

these fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. the authorities had no clear idea about the fuel usage here so they started to gather information. before we record and here are used to know the type of image. in light of cooking i mean not activity so it's important we should get this i don't use it to fit into our climate action plan to ignore how we. you know. this from our before us at the missing levels. see 40 is a network of almost 100 cities around the world including lagos that promotes climate action this energy usage survey is being carried out under its guidance the team go door to door they've already uncovered the main reasons why solar energy is not used more widely in such informal settlements where people who are not good for

these because one day don't have the knowledge about it and finance is actually good. but in local mini power grid is coming to argue a clean bill reader the government wants 10000 solar powered mini crit set up across the country by 2023. and environmental n.g.o.s teachers neighborhood residents how to set up solar panels and how to turn daytime sunlight into nighttime street lamps to make life here safer. and when it is night it everywhere will be getting dark you can see even you can see from here to that so but where we are these you can see from here far distance so the reason why we are doing this in the communities another problem here is poor sanitation this is

a public toilet the waste goes straight into the river and contaminates the water used for washing and cooking another n.g.o.s called justice. and empowerment initiatives recently built this toilet facility which uses a kind of composting system called a biofuel digester to break down the waste. artist ghani taiwo is contributing to the project. some other. storms oh my make it is so beautiful like this and i said well it's attracted to tell it's a calm using nobody said it. is interesting about. the facility cost $1800.00 us dollars to use it you have to pay the equivalent of just under $1.00 cent. the money goes towards maintenance and cleaning. it goes. people an aga way can be

a regular also happy about the new solar powered streetlights that are going up they're looking forward to having night during the long evenings and doing away with diesel generators also reduce the areas carbon emissions. to. one problem and when you're in normal to see. even in my reading anything legally change including a few families. how will climate change affect us and our children. e.w. dot com slash water why is that plastic an offshoot in our rivers. is an issue that comes up a lot here. if plastic is so bad for our planet we should clearly get rid of it oh well a couple of your scientists have developed an interest in solution take

a look at how they plan to overcome the plastic problem. what if nature had a way of ridding the world of a major environmental headache. and at the same time creating something that improves the soil. and. sound impossible here it is this cheap contains microorganisms that love to feast on plastic and those minor us scientists know even some of the co-founders of palm hungering biotech company. called the lives bacterial cocktail can digest and host of disposable plastics and the degradation process is very similar to how those 2 lives disappear. from. autumn and salt spring time. a consortium of

microbes biodegrades them and this is why we're doing where our bacteria and fossil based prospects. this is how it's going to look like in 2 leaves. there are other plastic eating bacteria available but this unique combination metabolizes mold and just p.t. bottles within 7 weeks the microorganisms can break down virtually any mixture of plastics and the resulting sludge can be utilized as a soil improve the start up now hopes to build an industrial plant to test the degradation process on the largest scale. and. then go about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website forbes and do so tweak. after doing your bit.

sharing your story. wow who knew that there is bacteria that actually it's like well until such new blood to greet in methods for granted take off there is only one thing we can do and that's recycle a fortune helping proves that for cycling is not only good for the environment it can also be a lot of fun. fashion and fun certainly go hand in hand. acra based design label boy bill is known for a colorful eye catching and sustainable creations. for the bonfire and just rather calvin have been a part of god his fashion scene for some time. now they're making their signature items from waste materials like plastics and broken mirrors. a main goal was to

create this seam effect like the same jacket and stuff that people need us for all we wanted to create the same thing with rob is and jackie like to make them have the same feeling and scenes we lines about year and a half nice thing going great. members of this team collect plastic waste they find littering their community. gonna recycles no more than 5 percent of the $1000000.00 tons of plastic generated. the waste materials are carefully sorted and prepare bridie to be sold. with their boy and build a book the young designers are among the foreigners in their field when it comes to creating wearables through up cycling. they hope to inspire as many gun ians as possible to start choosing their sustainable fashion. to get to

a point where you you step in tallinn and everybody is wearing a dress you know in town is becomes the norm i dress for people i think that if we can begin to be sure. when the coronavirus pandemic made runway shows impossible crew didn't just hang around waiting for things to change. in the small studio they put together a virtual fashion event models showcase the latest creations before they were made available for purchase. and. mentoring the future generation is also important for. the visit schools like this to speak to children encouraging them to consider a career in fashion. i read such a dense talk to them because i believe that eve the new how do you see the markets

was and how they can make a living us open like most of them was surprising me design is to be strong already seems to have motivated several of the kids. many say they want to become fashion designers just like bonfire we need to be at peace but fed is aspiring right what's even said i want food b.f.s. and this and i put that because what's the swearing. review and shop gun is already home to a number of strata the fashion labels but bomb phone his brother now hope to take it to the next level today tomorrow to work. almost all for all is said species in germany are in decline many already extinct one reason is the widespread use of insecticides especially in the countryside what insects are crucial for maintaining apollo stickle system that is right creates is

like holding it loose in the soil on them so screwed up the species nevertheless 15 tons of these said to site a sword each other. but even then one month puncture is having 2nd thoughts about things. like his father before him. house makes household insecticides the family run firm have been operating in the same way for decades until these 2 artists called its purpose into question been something made me rethink come and look inside the. wreck house and the artists joined forces they organized an event to raise awareness for insects and their preservation. the event prompted hum state house to put his company's future on the line he's invested

around 2000000 euros in the conservation of insects and other small creatures. the project also includes setting up green groups to compensate for the animals his products have killed. the roof of his headquarters has also become a home for insects. mining byproducts kill insects and make his kind don't see a contradiction in making insecticides one of the same time helping insects birds. from killer to save really or is this just a marketing ploy. because these days products that can buy used environmentally friendly credentials tend to sell better. because this can marketing guns and then this isn't about marketing because i want to see the market regina's device i've seen in the mornings on my product. each product has a big label about the dangers involved for them. houses now introduced

alternatives that he feels more comfortable with such as this live trap for fruit flies. the insect is attracted to the side of vinegar and then trapped in the cylinder to escape unharmed. i spoke to him and asked him is already going for this product because it's not obvious why i should say fruit flies but this company has seen turnover drop by 25 percent its profits have fallen even more so wouldn't simply selling the phone be the logical business move. for selling would mean surrender and giving up responsibility of being of a mind of congress and the only benefit my rise was to carry on with insecticides but rather that it doesn't diminish effort by starting a business and i have the leverage to generate awareness because it shows this transformation is possible sadness is

a time for months on the good news that house is keen to demonstrate his commitment to that message as he piles up the company car park to create a new insect thing but he can't say for sure when his own metamorphosis will be complete. what do you do when your computer or what one does not what many people simply toss the devices out every year they rockin you generate an estimated. tons of funny quist are all 8 is recycled but much of what is left and. innovative sustainable solutions are needed you take great opposite from what you respect as we visit on the ivory coast that shows us one way of getting these a sheet. of these spools of wire found in a scrap yard have a bright future ahead they'll be used as transmission lines to power small wind
