for centuries. women differently. hours. and. more. the final preparations ahead of last year's launch the hope probe is now overseeing mass the aim of the united arab emirates mission is to examine the planet's atmosphere and climate. the chinese t. on when one mission has the same goal the unmanned spacecraft has also reached the orbit of mars in a few weeks it is set to deploy a rover to investigate its surface. the u.s. is also up there with nasa is perseverance rover. the red planet has been
4:31 pm
a goal of space programs for decades. the race to mars and more coming up on this edition of tomorrow today the science show on d w. almost 60 years ago mariner 4 was the 1st space probe to perform a successful fly by of mas it sent back images that showed a crater popped moon like planets later viking probe sent the 1st detailed pictures of its surface including one that showed something that resembled a human face. in the late 1990 s. nessa's pathfinder mission brought the 1st robotic rover to mars. the europeans are also drawn to mars the european space agency suffered a setback with the loss of the mass lander skep at airlie in 20. 16 but the most
4:32 pm
express remains in orbit 17 years later. our intriguing neighbor is bleak barren and inhospitable but a long time ago it may have supported life it's seen dramatic changes in climate evidence of that can be found on its surface since 2004 mars express has been studying the red planet with a range of complex instruments it was the european space agency's 1st planetary mission. it's an unbelievable technological achievement are. 2 born to build a spacecraft that can keep working for nearly 20 years in a very tough environment or with high levels of radiation without maintenance or anything else. to feel or think it's worked faultlessly to this day that's very very good. this special camera is the most important instrument on mars
4:33 pm
express it was developed by a man. the camera produces detailed images it is mapped to the entire surface of the planet for the 1st time in 3 dimensional color images. the models of the terrain provide new insights into the geological development of mas and the history of its climate. shortly after entering mars is orbit the probe found frozen water on the planet a sensational discovery as the presence of water indicates the possibility of life and it provided evidence that huge amounts of water once flowed on mars. you know how high the mountains are and how deep the valley and from that we can work out how much water was in which location and how long it was there let's keep trying to establish. that was ron's life on mars and also in determining whether we
4:34 pm
might be able to do something there in the future. or 2 can connect us to move on from the river that once meandered along is comparable to the river rhine in germany it would have transported the same amount of water through the valley 30025000 cubic metres a 2nd. and on the planet's largest volcano mars express discovered signs of fresh lava some 2000000 years old that means there could still be warm areas on the ground where microbes might be able to live. at night if she needs near the equator the orbiter found evidence of past places another spectacular discovery. for some stage ice float into an impact crater there's a 2nd impact crater beneath the 1st one of the 1st overflowed and the ice merge
4:35 pm
into the 2nd grader i was totally amazed i have to say i grew up in the mountains i almost felt at home looking at the images in the press so i was a. the ice shows that the tilt of mars is axis has changed substantially over time causing the equator to move toward the poles and vice versa that ice that's now near the equator was one of the poles the change occurred over millions of years during that time rivers came and went but evidence of their existence can still be seen today. mars express is also equipped with radar that penetrates the surface of the planet to a depth of 5 kilometers. that allows it to see what happens to the huge amount of liquid water that was once on ma's. radar measurements show the southern polar icecap is the size of europe the ice
4:36 pm
here would be sufficient to cover the entire planet with a layer of water 11 meters deep. and 2018 the orbit has radar found the most important crane requisite for life liquid water located in underground lakes. it's the white lebanese the strait reflection line on this radar image. on mars express spectrometer also made an exciting discovery it found many things in masses atmosphere. nasa says miles rover also detected the gas on the ground at the same time and in the same region. this is current is not really sure methane is a crazy kind of molecule it disintegrates with ultraviolet radiation so that means if it really is in the atmosphere and it can't be more than a 1000 years old. it's very likely that the methane came from below the surface
4:37 pm
but how did it get there could it come from microbes living in underground knishes that produce methane like on earth in the permafrost. or was it released through geological processes caused by the weathering of volcanic rock these are questions mars express continents or. as though the trace gas orbiter was launched it reached mars in october 26th. then spent a year and a half orbiting the red planet drawing increasingly closer until it was ready to begin taking readings. the orbiter is designed to detect methane and other trace gases in the martian atmosphere twice per orbit at local sunrise and sunset you can also study the different layers of the atmosphere its instruments are so sensitive that it can pick up just 15 methane molecules out of
4:38 pm
a trillion molecules in the atmosphere. a camera on board the orbiter is designed to show where the me thank would have come from. it's already sent back some amazing images but so far the trace gas orbiter has not found anything. your mission needs to continue for quite a long time to get meaningful reading when it comes to measuring we're talking about levels so low or they may only just be detectable that all one's going to hark critics who wants currents. next year should see the launch of a european russian mars rover the rosalind franklin it will be able to drill 2 meters into the ground to search for complex organic molecules traces of microbes might have survived in the ground protected from the space radiation that bears down constantly on mars that radiation would quickly annihilate any signs of life
4:39 pm
on the surface. you can feel. more on mars on our website d.w. dot com slash science and on twitter. humans have long dreamt about colonizing mars. we'll ask you whether you can imagine humans sailing on mars in the future. magnus one layan drug on writes yes we should and it would be a great relieve for our planet. have added publicly disagreeing no he writes it's enough that we are destroying our own planet we don't have to destroy mars as well. due to geo harty raises a few issues to consider writing i think that the mass of the extreme heart and
4:40 pm
cold temperatures will have to be taken into account and who will be president of all being there. on twitter we asked you what mistakes we should avoid if we settle man's. everything that is causing us trouble here on earth writes allies approve. she fears however that won't work long term as soon as the pioneering spirit evaporates groups will form that will try to do their own thing. i'd wind t.t. tweets that we should avoid dividing mars up into areas of national interest as we've done in the antarctic thanks for all your comments speaking of the antarctic . it is a bit like mars in that it attracts a lot of researches though with a boom in tourism it's not something of its mystery. but the 1st
4:41 pm
researches there are breaking new ground on the terra nova expedition the british saw to be the 1st to reach the south pole but that on the way to know we've been wrong. it's and with this famous from expedition. today's scientists still have this side 6 on the continent. reema save is casting on us molina had a question about that. why is the antarctic so important for research more than a century after the race to the south pole researchers are still passionate about this remote desert of ice scientists from around the world are still trying to uncover the secrets of the continental ice cap they live and work in some 80 research stations in some cases all year round. far away from human influence antarctica its proper name offers a unique laboratory to investigate the earth's history preserved deep in its layers
4:42 pm
of untouched ice. and because the ecosystem here is so sensitive climate changes and environmental impacts leave a precise record besides i samples from deep below the surface scientists also collect data high in the sky where radio transmitters on weather balloons record temperature humidity and wind. and what about them penguins are a living barometer of how changing food resources and global warming affect the ecosystem. scientists are worried the emperor penguins will suffer enormously under global warming they need the ice as a platform from which to dive and hunt for food and they also need the coastal ice shelf to stay frozen until january for nesting bats when their fledglings lose their down coats and can begin to go hunting in the icy waters themselves. if the ice keeps on melting their outlook is graham.
4:43 pm
no other place on earth is warming as fast as the emperor penguins home the peninsula on the continents west coast so research. and understanding climate change impacts on and arctica is of critical importance for the continent and the world. the problem is red. flag and even if you do you have a science question you'd like us to. send it in as a video text or voice mail if we featured on the shows you look at and little surprise from us as a thank you will find the address at the end of the show come on just last. south american monk parakeets in the spanish capital madrid. rhett's one crayfish in central berlin invasive species of threatening nature the ecosystems under the top 10 is the european standing which has spread to north
4:44 pm
america parts of africa and new zealand words endangering native bad life. the asian cup has spread to europe and north america due to the live fish trade and sport fishing. and. the cane toad has made the leap to australia it was introduced to fight pests but now it's in danger native species. the water hyacinth is spreading worldwide the problem is that it deprives other underwater plants of some nice and oxygen. and the several muscle is also on the move the next report is about a classic invaders and takes us to northern germany. the sun sets on the north sea island observed setting the scene for an intriguing nighttime spectacle a scoop neck trail through the water captures some interesting creatures repitch
4:45 pm
just little things that aren't native to the region the sparkling blue luminescence is the calling card of nemi abscess the warty comb jellyfish they probably arrived in ship. ballast tanks. the gillmor research vessel aims to find out just how far they've spread in the baltic sea how rapidly they're reproducing and their effect on marine ecology. expedition leader cornell young spruce is a jellyfish expert the data that's been collected still has to be evaluated but the initial impression his worry. lets in spite of a coward the entire german politics ecosystem taking samples from a variety of doubts which show that the already coma jellyfish can be found everywhere looking qualify this way in differing sizes and density after you can under sedation clues that we have a big problem with them the op says especially hearing he'll in the southwestern baltic abscess. the woody comb jellyfish is native to the east coast of the us
4:46 pm
ships presumably carry them as stowaways to the black sea in the 1980s from there they've spread to the caspian sea the mediterranean and records in europe. the creatures also called sea wall much due to their shape may look in conspicuous but they pose a huge challenge corneal yeah spurs wants to know if the ecosystem here is holding up the limits nish time is not the problem with non-native species is that they don't belong. there only labeled invasive if they start to change the ecosystem. and the problem with the walnuts is that they're extremely efficient predators and i don't know how much they generate a mucous that's invisible to most other organisms so their prey only notice the danger when it's too late and they're caught up in a sea wall that sticky cells. i mean ups us and they get bigger jellyfish can filter 450 liters of water
4:47 pm
a day. and they consume 80 to 90 percent of the living creatures the plankton increase in that water. as it exists or plankton out of the crib stephenie's of us off also. marine biologist kostin riser is looking into the impact of non-native species on the water in sea mudflats of the north sea. he immediately sponsor if you like the soft shell clams which disappeared here back in the ice age apparently the vikings then carried them back from north america as a fresh food supply. other species from even further away are also trying to establish themselves here. on this muscle you can see and they'd have barnacle go and this little volcano here shoots the pocket dresses but next to it are 2 tiny stars it's those are australian barnacles. even managed
4:48 pm
to come this far. after a match because the hypothesis is that they arrived in plymouth on british seaplanes dolls and they've spread throughout the north sea in only a few decades cried. a very special recent arrival is the pacific oyster native oysters became extinct on the soapbox lots here due to overfishing last century in the 1980 s. there asian relative proved a robust replacement for cultivation now it's privilege for reading wild across the flats thanks in part to ocean warming. to find me a home for breeding this oyster prefers 18 degrees celsius or warmer average summer temperature here in cotton pocked well. back in the 1990 s. that wasn't as common it only happened once every few years here and fun to begin with they bred relatively slowly but with global warming since 2000 every
4:49 pm
summer has been warm enough for them to breed. it became a kind of power a device for the oyster and it bred fast so you see it's more common here now than in its native yellow sea or in japanese waters. so if in case. rises says the system adapts crabs have a stablished themselves here now a threat mostly to young boys toure's but the warty comb jellyfish still has no enemies aspers wants to see if some types of fish might take a liking to it or perhaps the parasitic amphipod the high period galba which nibbles away other species reproductive organs the traditional kind of few they have no natural predators in the central baltic at the edge of where the nanny outfits have expanded we have seen that caught fish to eat them ted safely state researchers have no real idea what species might prey on these jellyfish and control their population that's a new field of research and what i'll be investigating in the coming years. at
4:50 pm
least research is also yielding some new insights contrasts larvae for example seem to be able to escape the warty comb jellyfish. clutches but many open questions remain what is the purpose of the jellyfish is fascinating light show and what impact will their presence have on the ecosystems of the north and baltic sea. and that has been. a home for plants and animals. in the past a lot of it was drained to extract. or to create the land but that also reduced gases that are harmful to the environment. many moons are now being restored so they can once again after things but what about the impact on foamy.
4:51 pm
eggs small ponies and water buffalo graze peacefully in an area of south east germany known as the swabian. for decades this moisture friend was drained and used for farming during that time the pizza oil gave off huge amounts of greenhouse gases since it's been reflooded the levels of carbon escaping from here have dropped significantly but can a farmer still make a profit from this fun and agricultural engineering i mean a shoe man works for a foundation committed to preserving and developing the habitat she's working with farmers to test out new ways of using the land. so in the land of farmers were initially opposed to the flooding 50 years ago they had to drain it all so they didn't see why that should be reversed. but it's to reduce carbon emissions. by giving a farmer is the chance to keep livestock on the land we're offering them alternative sources of income and. for my christan my agreed to work with the
4:52 pm
foundation in 2015 he builds up a herd of litter buffalo the risk paid off the marshland is ideal terrain for the animals with their white. cattle probably wouldn't cope with the story in the water buffalo have no problem at all they're happy to eat the grass in their meat shells well there is no comparison with cattle i think. my i get subsidies for his life start from the local. he also and money by cutting the grass on land not used for grazing as another nearby fan scientists are overseeing the reflooding they're testing how different grasses affect carbon levels. we're looking at greenhouse gases it's an automated system that measures trace gas for us you can see the frames around with plants inside. comes over the top and measure the gas we're interested in.
4:53 pm
inside the frame it's made. up so we can measure the emissions for a specific plant at a specific water level. just the water level mustn't be too high $10.00 to $15.00 centimeters below the surface seems to be ideal for the least amount of carbon escape into the atmosphere. the scientists are also testing to see which marsh and wetland plants could be most profitable for the farm. is experimenting with growing grass. on his alpacas normally he feeds them hay but he's going to try them on freshly cut edges. i'm intrigued to know whether they'll eat it and how well they'll take to it we'll
4:54 pm
see. it's the 1st time this said field is being caught. my eye has also sent. they've gotten very well on the damn ground on the mowing is going smoothly. next to it conventional some a crop square on drained family and this land emits 20 tons more perfect taff even your aim is to see the difference what we can do with the soldiers and how much profit we use to see what the future could look like. as yet the farmers don't know what they can earn from the said yes. but the reeds have many potential uses. costs and some for the grass is the basic fodder for our livestock so of course we'll try that it could be fodder for the bio gas plants to
4:55 pm
generate energy would have been or we could create pellets for thermal storage or insulation blocks like this one which is made of gold rush which has excellent thermal properties. hot. but all these options 1st have to be tested. and cultures intrigued to know whether his alpacas will eat the fresh said which is quite tough. but. that's what i did so that was clear 0 interest. in it one more try. then decided if they don't want to be fresh i assume they'll eat it once it's dried as of the moline wanted well to bury this stuff dries well to top it off i'm optimistic about the whole project to mr strong positive in. the trial as
4:56 pm
a jew to end in 2022 they stand to benefit both the farmers and the land as well as the climate. that's all for now thanks for joining us on tomorrow and today. we'll be back next week with more fascinating stories from the world of science and technology until then bite. the bullet.

5:00 pm
w. the but. this is you don't use life for growth in trouble ties the e.u. or greece to pursue 1st sanctions against russia foreign ministers back targeted punitive measures for those responsible for jailing of kremlin critic alexina bali will go to brussels for the latest also on the program ian martin the grip of mass protests and the general strikes hundreds of thousands take to the streets demonstrators to find despite the army's threats of lethal force and recent deaths and is back to school again after months of distance learning germany's classrooms are reopening but the instructions rise it isn't safe to send kids to school.
5:01 pm
where mark thank you so much for your company everyone we begin this broadcast in brussels where you foreign ministers have agreed to sanctions against 4 senior russian officials deemed responsible for the jailing of opposition leader alexina volley and a crackdown on his supporters will this follows what some called a disastrous trip to moscow by foreign policy chief joseph brown all the ministers voted unanimously to impose the sanctions after france germany poland and the baltics push to send a message to president vladimir putin that debate and protest must be allowed in russia. we can take you now to brussels or to disabuse correspondent teri schultz who is closely following developments there for you terry great to see you what
5:02 pm
exactly has been agreed on and against who. lately we won't get the names of these individuals but what we are hearing is that 4 people are going to be targeted high ranking russian officials including the prosecutor general the director of russia's investigative committee the director of prisons and the head of russia's national guard now these individuals are going to have a case built against them it needs to be an airtight case because they don't want this to be overturned in a court so now after today's decision today's unanimous decision by foreign ministers the european union will start building this case and these sanctions are expected to be in effect sometime in march what are the e.u. foreign ministers most concerned about until now leyla the european union has been somewhat limited in its sanctions toolbox when it comes to human rights abuses there are sanctions available for all kinds of things but when
5:03 pm
it comes to cases like the case of election of only like the case of undue abuse against demonstrators that you hasn't had a lot to a lot of tools to work with now it has this global human rights mechanism colloquially referred to as the european magnitsky act and that will allow it to to punish individuals seem to be responsible for human rights abuses and that's why this is a really important move in experts i spoke with leading up to this decision said it's very symbolic that the 1st time this mechanism is used is against russia sergei magnitsky was a victim of russian abuses and this mechanism colloquially carries his name does indeed but what impact will it have what are they hoping to achieve specifically when they're targeting these 4 individuals that you reported on at the start of this conversation. well these high ranking officials are not by any means in president putin's inner circle and that's what really is believed to be what would
5:04 pm
have the most impact on the kremlin and that is something the alexina vollies chief of staff leonid. volkoff was here in brussels advocating for he spoke with foreign ministers leading up to this meeting and he and his supporters had a list of 35 names so they're certain to be disappointed about 4 names but he said this is still a step in the right direction let's listen to what mr volkoff had to say ahead of the meeting be a different machine or that this not going to be the last step so even if it's a little even if the world will be like a little bit disappointed for us it's well the 1st time personal some sanctions are applied as regards to human rights violations it opens the very 1st. own this was europe its sense a very clear message do people walk part of this regime and maybe this will
5:05 pm
contribute at least a small crack to a small split prisms the regime and people start to feel that being close to putin is not as safe and pretty anymore as it used to be all right terry of course not so long ago we've heard from the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov he said if the e.u. makes good on his threat to impose sanctions would it which it is doing right now we will break off ties with the block. yeah that's a that's a threat that sergey lavrov made a few days ago and he has walked that back a little bit it's highly unlikely that russia would break all ties with the european union it can't afford to do so financially to be honest it may make some more steps in that direction politically i mean remember when joseph bruno was there in moscow they kicked out 3 diplomats simply for being president of all the demonstrations so there may be more moves like that in an effort to show the european union moscow's displeasure with these moves but it's highly unlikely that
5:06 pm
we'll see a full cutoff of tongue in ties that said you never know with the kremlin you never know with president putin and i'm certain that there will be some some strong arm tactics to try to convince the e.u. not to make more moves in this direction however again the supporters have 35 names on this list and only 4 are likely to be on this and so you know you have to balance who really won here involving supporters will be happy that any names are being sanctioned for human rights abuses but the kremlin can also say you know it wasn't as bad as it could have been in the 10 seconds i've got left with you how much of this is damage control by the u.s. after that kind of straw ficca visit to brussels to russia rather to be to be fairly low plenty of countries have lists of people they wanted to have sanctions on before the trip to moscow there were government saying don't go at all and some of these sanctions were being drawn up before that trip however the way he was
5:07 pm
treated and the comments by the kremlin certainly coalesced member states around moving forward with this step today. correspondent teri schultz reporting thank you . the u.n. secretary general antonio protests is calling on man mars military to immediately halts what he called its brutal force and repression he also demanded the release of hundreds of prisoners detained says the february 1st coup of thousands of pro-democracy protesters against flooded the streets of major cities today as a general strike shut down businesses across the nation the marches continue despite threats of lethal force from the army rulers. rallies across the country despite threats of violence ahead of monday's general strike me and miles military rulers raise the stakes warning demonstrators they were risking their lives if they continued their quote riot and anneke undeterred
5:08 pm
tens of thousands again flocked to the streets in the biggest act of defiance yet same in this standoff. i was i. scenes like this have been nonstop since a coup ousted democratically elected leader aung sun suu kyi 3 weeks ago the killing of 3 people by police has only served to make many protesters move defiant many have put their jobs on hold to keep up the fight and they say it's worth the cost. but. today is a day for countrywide protest we don't want to stay under the control of a military dictatorship so we came here to join the protest regardless of lost salaries nothing will happen to me if my salary is cut but if we stay under the control of a military dictatorship it will become this slaves that i mean. it's
5:09 pm
a sentiment felt in all corners of the country in the capital naypyidaw all the same defiance. i'm joining the nationwide. test as a citizen of the country we must join the protest in this time without fail. so i've closed down my factory and join the demonstration. the baseball powers you know i know i'm joining the protests to fight against the gentile we don't want to be governed by the regime it's not worth working for the sake of a group of people will fight against them until we win i'll join the protest every day. a generation unwilling to give up their freedom and return to a military dictatorship like the one they were born and. warming up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. iran has agreed to allow limited un nuclear inspections for 3 more months ahead of the international
5:10 pm
atomic energy agency negotiated the temporary agreement a crisis talks in tehran its hopes that the move will help revive the 2050 nuclear deal between iran and world powers. and israel thousands of volunteers are working to clean up a massive oil spill that has forced beaches to close authorities are investigating the source of the spill which has affected wildlife such as turtles and seabirds it's been described as one of israel's worst ever ecological disasters. boeing has urged airlines to ground more than $100.00 of its triple 7 jets worldwide after 2 separate incidents involving jets engine fires in the netherlands at least one person was injured after debris fell from a 7 for 7 cargo jet and in the u.s. large sections of a triple 7 engine fell on a residential neighborhood. the united nations has opened its environment

assembly with a call to make peace with nature the virtual meeting is bringing together $193.00 countries and represents the world's highest level decision making body on environmental issues several speakers called for firm commitments from businesses to place the health of the planet 1st in 2021. germany has begun reopening schools after months of law down despite signs that coronaviruses actions are slightly on the rise it's mostly early primary school students heading back for in person learning like other countries germany is having to wear with the risk of catching covenanting with the social cost of keeping kids at home. the day has come after 2 long months of closure and no face to face learning daycares in schools tentatively reopen in 10 states across the country here in barely it's back to school for days primary school children. it's mainly younger skull children grades
5:12 pm
one through 4 that are heading back to class and most will either go for just a morning or the afternoon or are not in a daze so they are fewer students into school at one time most students are required to wear masks for the entire school day including in classrooms. for parents even if the infection rate nation wise is on the rise again this initial reopening comes as a relief after months of homeschooling. if i'm as is or if it's like i think it's high time especially for younger kids i'm not a viral g.'s but from what i have read so far it seems they are less infectious and don't suffer from heavy symptoms or we saw. long ago with been waiting for days for a long time but despite a relief that comes with the reopening of the schools i'm disappointed that schools
5:13 pm
will only be open for 3 hours a day this isn't proper school and the kids are the ones who is suffer as a result. i'm not worried about the danger of infection for us as a family or for their kids but i do think that we have a joint responsibility as a society to stop the virus from spreading and i'm disappointed that politicians haven't figured out better solutions. q those solutions could include vaccinating teachers more quickly as part of the 3rd priority group not yet in line for a job and to date no vaccine against the 19 has been approved for use on children. a sickle now is some other developments in the pandemic the death toll in the united states is expected to cost the half 1000000 mark today u.s. president joe biden will mark the grim milestone with a moment of silence and candle lighting ceremony at the white house meanwhile u.k. prime minister boris johnson and a gradual easing of england's 3rd law down schools will be open on march the 8th
5:14 pm
and up to 6 people or 2 households will be able to meet outdoors starting march 29th and the world's biggest vaccine maker india's serum institute says it's been told to prioritize its production of the astra zeneca vaccine for india it asked other countries to be quote patient. now before i let you go many of us moved house before but probably not like this take a look a team of engineers in san francisco relocated an entire building crowds turned out to watch the 139 year old structure being towed to its new address just 6 blocks away it was moved to make way for new apartments the developer reportedly paid $400000.00 for the relocation along san francisco makes every effort to preserve its victorian era homes they are part of the city's heritage. take good care of that state's here and coming up next is an album allow with all
5:15 pm
your business news headlines and all let's see you again at the top of the hour for nothing so much for giving us company. and jim and with team. any time any place. to sing music video an event as. they have the benefit of i think. someone's to sing along to downloads through just a call from super. to. have very good
5:16 pm
causes put it into a tape exercise is the right thing about that deep down you don't come slashdot atlanta on facebook and the app store. blend geminid free with devon you. how will africa recover from the coronavirus pandemic that's the question for the government officials reading for the 20th international economic forum on africa that's the real life becomes increasingly difficult on the ground with millions on the continent left jobless. and there are just some things people miss about home think looting for those who flee we'll see how one refugee is bringing the taste of his roots to australia. this is the w. business i'm. glad you can join us ranking african officials met today for the 20th
5:17 pm
international economic forum on africa to discuss how the continent can bounce back from the coronavirus crisis 41 african economies saw declines in 2020 in a moment we will speak to the organization for economic cooperation and development which gearhead the event but 1st here is a look at how everyday life has been affected in one country and uganda over 3000000 jobs have been lost to the crisis. originally. but since mid last year she vents fried cakes in honey behold. she stopped teaching when the government closed schools last year to limit the disparate of covert 19 now for the private sector.
5:18 pm
so the right things very high. up close of employment has pushed to find a motor much of livelihood she has told house of to make fried but she's struggling to make a profit. i have their scale out of the lay down but often that i can move something. because i don't have them. out of business as i went in and even when during one of these do something because this situation and eyes opened in my mind. thousands of school teachers in uganda have lost jobs and the most the only ones facing the wrath of the coveted 19 so sure economy impact across africa. guys we borrowed money from a commercial bank to open a bank in kampala but his business has been closed for
5:19 pm
