can be precisely. thought. to be today. in 60 minutes. literature invites us to see people in particular. like to see some kids find strength. might. work or find beautiful. books on youtube. meaning. the rain forests of ecuador are a treasure trove of biodiversity slaves. and this is it so in that nothing is more important than harmony between people and nature. he led money. but that harmony has been disrupted here by human greed

especially oil drilling. yes though it's a disaster we have huge problems with it. several courageous women have decided to fight the exploitation of their homeland by setting up a small radio station where they're speaking out for nature conservation and justice. to. her. the food. and 2 of the radio reporters are returning to their roots marianna kanellos and he who are you in cardiff live in the city but they grew up here in the rain forest to the right now they're on their way to interview some local residents for an upcoming

broadcast their radio programs are very popular in this region. and they're being accompanied by young upbeat of yet a student from cologne germany. yana is working with the fridays for future movement to help protect the rain forest and the balance. almost half of ecuador is covered in rain forest. in the reporter's journey begins in the town of puyo they'll travel for 7 hours by boat along a bold one known as a river their final destination is the community of sajjad cool deep in the amazon rain forest. there are a number of important stories for the reporters to cover here. the region is home to the kitchen people for years they've been fighting against

oil drilling on their land. right now it's quiet here but that will change soon with the start of a big festival that celebrates the importance of the rain forest trend of running back. to here marianna and hugh horne meet their friend. now the reporting team is complete see them look at. this instance and say that yes. the day they'll start by recording some of the ancient songs that are sung by local women a lot of these songs include stories of sorrow and longing. and this one in which a woman turns into a jaguar because she's been rejected by her lover. who. would you. please.

you know well that's age. some of the songs speak of the invisible forces of nature. this is the let's look at us in the in this morning but a band there in our radio broadcast we want to talk about the lives and emotions of women traditionally women in the amazon region don't often get the chance to speak up men do most of the talking. the end that has to change. and that is the new world we indigenous women need to learn to communicate and their microphones are a fantastic way for us to do that he was on the bus this kid is a blessing. the women of the rainforest fear that their homeland will be destroyed now they're fighting back in 2017 they organized a march in ecuador's capital quito to protest against the oil companies and the policies of the government.

that's not paid women has been protecting the rain forest diversity for more than 1500 years so thank you. that was also the day that marianna he horner launched the 1st digital women's radio station in this region bringing the programs are spoken in spanish and also indigenous languages so that people in remote areas can understand them. from what i look at him of that of course unless we want of programs to provide a forum for women in the amazon region i will try to reach all of them whether they live in cities and go deep in the rain forest in. the broadcasts are designed to shake up the status quo and call attention to the dangers that the rain forest and its inhabitants now face.

there are huge oil reserves here but the exploitation of this resource poses a real threat to the environment. inside a yaku a community fishing a bent is taking place today. the broadcasters are fascinated by the way the fish are caught using a poisonous plants called park basco. that effectively is nothing and then the 1st thing he they lots of people grow it in their gardens it contains a natural and the static that wears off after 2 hours. doesn't contain any chemicals and it doesn't kill worms or microorganisms or after the villagers only catch the fish that are close by if they have a fish might be briefly affected by the anaesthetic but they just swim away. with

anything if. the women put the fish that they've caught into baskets. mahayana and he horn help out with the catch. thank you. in the courageous efforts of the kitsch while women prompted one oil company to cancel its drilling projects in this area. in 2003 another company used explosives to search for petroleum near a kitchen without mourning the residents some of the villagers filmed the blasts. there were protests and the government responded by sending troops to the region some of the local women seized the soldiers' weapons demonstrations

a bench really forced the troops to leave. the kitchen was sued the government to try to stop these oil extraction efforts the video evidence beecher in the lawsuit . a court ordered officials to consult with local residents on any future projects . that i don't like it was the women who seized the initiative they took away soldiers weapons and that made a big impression on the local. men and since then the women have been giving the orders around here and we hope that many other communities will follow this example on. radio broadcasts we've interviewed local women about how they took on this new role. among my people the. men really don't take women seriously yet so it's still hard for us as it is to. some i quarreling guy is on her way to meet yana who wants to find out how the local residents plan to protect

their homeland in the future. the. social media will play a key role in that effort. the village has already gone high tech for example it gets much of its electricity from solar panels. give us a call been missing since the thing and that's never us who need us here is in the fight for our rights it's young people who matter most is that the younger generation is crucial for the survival of this region that was done with that they're the ones who will have to keep protecting the rainforest so that our grandchildren and great grandchildren will also have a future. that many millions. of big festival will be held tomorrow in the local residents are preparing for it by decorating each other with traditional painted patterns. marianna and he who can also take part they plan to do a special broadcast about the festival. with

. some of the local men have been out hunting to provide food for the celebration and now they return all dressed up for the festivities. it's an honor for the radio reporters to be allowed to join in. many of the men wear animal skins as proof of their hunting skills but. the festival brings together old friends from around the region. and for refreshment there's chicha a beer that's made from kosov or roots. the local residents celebrate their hard won self confidence. they want to show

politicians and corporations that they are determined to prevent the destruction of their environment. but the festival also celebrates the importance of respect for nature. each other most that had it. be that but the end that me in our radio broadcasts we want to show how the villages live it is that we want to feature their traditions and celebrations and time at the close connection between them and their environment and we also want to show how much these people enjoy life of money and let me see that gail says i'm a little bit of i but the reporters don't shy away from criticizing one aspect of the festival hundreds of wild animals are killed to provide food for the guests preserving their traditions while protecting the environment can be a balancing act. that's why the village has decided the festival will take place

every 5 years instead of every year. in the evening marianna and he who can compare the recordings that they've made so far. they grew up in the rain forest and their experiences inform their work but if you don't get. the 2 reporters agree that it will be up to the regents young people to preserve the. region's fragile ecosystem. but will this generation stay here for move to the towns and cities. and what's the best strategy for preserving the natural environment. in this village school children learn about their environment and heritage on the 1st front right now the children are making environmentally friendly necklaces. for.

the teachers emphasized the importance of language instruction. levels of those c.d.o. must be used to languages in class. and spanish yes it is the local language and we teach some topics like the natural sciences in spanish and then is that in that way the students become familiar with 2 different cultures . over there. they're singing this song in. her. honor. the next morning the reporters set out again. canoes are usually the only way to travel long distances deep in the rain forest. it takes 2 days to travel from sajjan to the pastas a river on the border with by room. the destination is the remote village of washer

pos. the government also wants to drill for oil here. the region is home to the people and they've been finding oil extraction projects for 5 years like the other indigenous peoples in this part of ecuador they believe that drilling will damage the environment and their way of life. their fears are justified in many places the pipelines used to transport the oil have rusted and broken open like here in the north of ecuador. the region's hot and humid climate causes many pipes to deteriorate. the onal that leaks out poisons the forests and rivers and it's almost impossible

to clean it up. the radio reporters talk to local residents about how to prevent this kind of damage. yes but each other. live likely that's what i guess whenever people talk about fighting back against the oil companies they bring up salary achoo the people that prove that you can protect your region against exploitation that was a major event and such a great example for all indigenous peoples in that it. the women of washing or pots have not yet developed the kind of self-confidence that helped create the opposition movement. at 1st some of the villagers are wary of the women radio reporters so he hone in marianna try to get to know them and win

their trust that includes playing with the children in the schoolyard. who have been the only for a governor ever held in the other great thing about these kinds of visits is that you always learn something me now must come the example when the kids play tag one has a jag you are and the others a day at the jag you is trying to catch that of these people are so creative that we've had lots of fun the softening the end on that that the canyon. now that the ice has been broken the reporters can start making recordings for their broadcast. and the telegraph said of all they capture the details of every day life in the village making ceramic art works working in the fields and putting the children to bed. and read in the medical list that was sent to the

local women often talk about the importance of the rainforest. in almost all aspects of their lives they take their cue from nature. that throughout the villagers existence and their outlook on life is shaped largely by their spirituality and by their dreams and visions and this concept extends even into daily chores like harvesting kosov a plants. for he who and the other members of the are to our community the cause salva represents more than just food in the middle. but as we women sing the song to the mother plants the lyrics go like this i plant the seeds with the purity of my hands and you give me a bountiful harvest we sing this song to protect the kosoff the seats and to ask

for a big crop and i think that's god here. the coronavirus pandemic has disrupted ecuador's economy. as a result the government has come under more and more pressure to step up the exploitation of the oil resources in the rain forest that's made life more difficult for indigenous peoples. people of this community work together to achieve common goals like building a house they take the same collective approach to fighting government efforts to drill for oil in the rain forest. the people follow a traditional division of labor the men not only build houses they're also responsible for weaving the baskets that women use to harvest the casaba roots. review. in the evening the reporters interview the village elder donkey joe.

at one point in the conversation he describes the day that the 1st christian missionaries arrived in this part of the country. one of those then me n.b.s. is i knew i was 10 years old at the time you know. i remember that one of the missionaries was father luis from italy who. are you going to you know get it they move in the end though at 1st with the villagers or a suspicious of these people at the end we tried to drive them away and we were warriors after all and. but after a lot of negotiating the situation calmed down you know vs if we leave our village chief invited the missionaries to drink while you sit here with us and then it just sort of happened anything we converted to christianity and at 8 am and we've been following the word of god ever since but he got left out i think yours. has been the ceremony that involves the drinking of why use

a tea always takes place at dawn. little remembers this ritual from her childhood. the moment. why you have said is them that when we drink way you city together it's a time for parents especially mothers to give advice to their children is us in law and we also make plans together for the coming day and for the future of them so i knew and we describe our dreams this in this because if you've had a bad dream you want to find out why this was the eldest then tell us what the dream means that but it and what we should do about it to stick with you it's for. the people who live in the rain forest here believe that their environment is filled with symbols that represent the spiritual world. see. here dawn kito leads the 3 radio reporters to

a sacred place where they'll take part in a purification ceremony. this waterfall is the home of god. is our companion advisor. when we need his help we come here when the moon is for. him. the 1st step in the ritual is to inhale some tobacco extract. then the reporters step under the waterfall.

i had an a minus in fact harm they look a combat visit to the waterfall with donkey joe was one of the highlights of our. true. but always remember the wonderful conversations that we had with the women of the anderson village you know. that gave me a lot of spiritual strength but not. just costs. yana the student from germany accompanied the reporters throughout their travels in the rain forest she says it's been a real learning experience. except in the mind i'm. not aware if i've seen a lot of the natural environment during my trip from various river basins to remote parts of the amazon rain forest and when i think about the possibility of all this being destroyed in a few years it just makes me sick we need new policies to show people that they can't disrupt the environment that we have to live in harmony with nature if you

don't life on this planet will no longer be possible that they are. marianna he hone in rupiah have organized a meeting of the women of wash air parts. of the radio reporters want to find out what they plan to do about efforts to drill for oil in the arch of our region that my villagers say they're worried about the possible impact on children and young people if that is where he is leading a little bit. let's hope it is a slightly less once the company builds a road that the young people with the. go to the city to earn money in both got it about that there aren't many jobs that what often happens is that many end up involved in sex with. their dream of owning money turns into a nightmare. the kid and i want these agree on the reporters want to use their

radio program to raise awareness about these dangers and to help the people of the rain forest protect their rights and their environment and that only. combative the m. word of experience is that it would say years at most but 1000 people then we told the women here how the people in sorry you could start up to the oil companies who were and were very interested yes and asked us for advice on what they could do themselves but there are little. now it's time for marianna he horn in rupiah to return home when they've spent 2 weeks talking to local residents most of them women. and now they have lots of new material for their broadcasts they can see things only go up to the i'm going to

that tissue project that for the reporters have found a unique way to call attention to the problems that the people of the rain forest now face including the ruthless exploitation of nature by big business and outdated roles assigned to women in these traditional societies and i think that in fitting in that. the reporters are convinced that for the amazon rain forest to survive the voices of the women of this region must be heard and they will be through their broadcasts. on nothing less than good net without a mood chill. did you get this trip has given us a lot to work with including the wonderful songs and the traditional games that the children play we all learned a lot from each other and now we're ready to tell the world about these people with

our radio program and i would chat. blame. blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame. blame blame blame blame blame. blame blame blame blame.

driving the rising numbers chancer on the american and regional leaders will meet on monday to discuss further steps. let's bring in chief political editor of the shadows because now for more on all of this so what do you expect from that meeting between their call and state leaders on monday well formally we do expect the current lockdown to be extended here and many this talk of the 18th of april and that would be after the easter break but when we talk of a lockdown here in germany we're talking about something that has already been released to some degree a current nice shops are open a lot of schools are open and now the incidence rate of 100 that's 100 infections but 100000 people within the space of 7 days has been hit here in germany and that would mean an emergency break that would mean immediate reaction

regionally for those chops to be closed again and the big question mark now is whether the country will actually stick to that whether all regions want to stick to that or whether there will be exceptions particularly in view of that easter break coming up well many people were planning to travel during the easter holidays but is the german government likely to type restrictions for travelers. well at the moment people can travel although their advice to only takes trips that are absolutely necessary well it's a for some debate whether a trip to new york was absolutely necessary but the baddies stricken travel industry is put on extra flights to and favorite island in spain and the big debate here right now is whether those people suit face testing and quarantine and that is also something we expect to be the subject of consider old debate as well as how far people can travel or certainly where they can actually get

a whole tell group more or in a whole day apartment we've been devastated within the whole country so a lot of question marks and because it's a highly emotive issue whether people will be allowed to travel again having said that the indications are there that the wait is beginning to hit here and me. it has been more than a year since the 1st lockdown in germany due to the coronavirus what is the public make of these latest plans to extend to the restrictions is there support for them . well actually there is support to have tougher restrictions once again only a quarter of people disagree that those quick research is should be in place although we've seen some very vocal protests here what is also there is growing dissatisfaction with the government's handling particularly of the slow vaccine rollout and also taking additional measures like testing to allow something nearing

ordinary life once again and that is the sewing when you look at the performance of angular machall c.d.u. posse which is suffering badly in the polls right now also because of a corruption scandal of a certain m.p.'s but there's growing impatience with germany to actually think to speed up that. do you have a curfew thank you so much for your reporting let's get a quick check now of some of the other stories making news around the world in syria at least 5 civilians have died after shells fired from government controlled areas hit a hospital in a rebel held town activists say medical staff were injured in the explosion at the tora it comes despite a cease fire in the region backed by russia and turkey. u.s. defense secretary lloyd austin has met afghan president ashraf ghani in an unannounced visit to discuss the afghan peace process u.s.

idea behind twitter was that it was going to be a place for people to share short status updates to groups of friends they do this by sending this message to a single number using text and the reason the cat to them it was 140 characters was because back then that was the limit of a text message and it has since grown to 280 character maximum limits on twitter now in 2007 recently saw the growth of twitter to see how it became a source of breaking news placing at the heart of major world events now nowadays twitter now has 350000000 users that's very much to wolf by its major competitor facebook which has 2000000000 but twitter still very much has a very major influence these days and i mean really in this lee exponential growth maybe tell us some of the highlights over these past 15 years of twitter melanie what stands out for you so very much that the 1st point where twitter really grabbed the world's attention was back in 2009 when a u.s.

airways flight ditched into new york's hudson river that the very 1st images we saw from this came from twitter when they used a nearby passenger ferry took these photos now we've also seen how twitter has become a major a tool for of protest of revolutions in fact one example is the arab spring and actually egypt's 2011 ousting of president hosni mubarak was actually dubbed the twitter revolution now since then. imitative actually questioned how much a role could have played in most mobilizing protesters because they said that when i pulled the plug on the internet for a few days of protest as was able to mobilize but where twitter really came into his own was getting that news out to the outside world we've also seen how the rise of the hash tag on in 2007 that's when you were 1st used on twitter and a social movement such as need to and black lies might have really harnessed the use of hashtags well it is safe to say that the last 15 years have also seen plenty

of controversy twitter all sorts of challenges what about those challenges what are the most serious ones facing twitter twitter is very much come under pressure to do more to police content on its site in terms of tackling harassment bullying and misinformation now indeed it's very much become a digital soapbox for politicians one of the main examples being of course former us president donald trump went to it was very much his main channel of communication but he also became indeed a purveyor of misinformation to the point where in 2020 twitter started putting flags on his tweets when he was spreading misinformation since then they've gone on to do that also for the coronavirus but of course. across the red line in january this year when he inside his followers to storm the capital and then that led to twitter kicking him off the site and has permanently bounce and he's never allowed to go back into the sites at the time jack dorsey the c.e.o. said that it was the right decision for twitter to do this but that it also sets

a dangerous precedent basically controlling conversation a global conversation like. melanie hall thank you so very much great to talk to you. 2 german soccer now and the bundesliga has a raft of the weekend with both hasn't carolyn and minds scoring surprise wins to boost their chances of voiding relegation and let's have a look at all the scores paratime managed and upset over laver cruzan a blow to coach peter bush's hopes of keeping his job minds defeated hoffenheim also on sunday freiburg beat. earlier 1st place byron in 2nd place leipsic were both winners frankford down when you're in berlin door bunt and cologne drew was 41 and the last place shall go lost again ok let's have a look at the standings now after a match day $26.00 with 8 games left for each club byron have held their 4 point lead at the top of the table over

a line think is 3rd and frankford 4th and in the 2nd half shock is there at the bottom and mines both moved to a point clear of the relegation zone. that's the latest on d w news this hour and don't forget you can get a lot more news and information on our website just go to www dot com american and esteem for me and the entire news team in berlin thanks for the company. but 2050 more than half the world will be leaving limited water resources we haven't had to think about our war on worry about. i think that era is over this is

the crisis of our time it's a financial product like any other financial we live in a competitive world just cold it's cool it's cool cool water used to be free but the world is changing to most important a moment sooner it is called the free spirit. water city or commodity starts march 22nd on g.w. . as for me the guy that does i used to listen at my job means working through data and what dying means to us humans that through this i've come to understand so much more about life. i know my mom. bigger scheffler is an undertaker she sends people off on their final journey and offers

comfort to the ones they've left behind as the corona pandemic drags on she tries to accomplish this seemingly impossible to be close to strangers in their most difficult hour while staying at a safe distance. all. candlelight helps create a subdued the atmosphere the mask is a precaution to get scheffler and her coworkers are right to give or prepare the body to be laid out in the casket in germany this is the undertakers task which. we haven't learned since long hair amazing isn't it after suffering elsom is for years this woman passed on aged 95 in a nursing home in berlin and for little freshener up a bit for her final journey. siren i always washed the body off and together with

family members and under the evidence of them. didn't open up my view then it's like giving them one final loving careerists or one final loving gesture on. the lead the way before i give up on my we clean interest the body. and give them a farewell touch there have been times when the family left behind did so much would just stand back and provide little assistance. it's always so touching when that happens. but the coronavirus pandemic robbed many people of this opportunity in many cases those left behind were only allowed a final glimpse event here and not a mythical one of what if she had died awful with covert 19 and of course we would have to take more precautions. then we put on smallpox and where not only masks but

also some protective devices. and then we'd have to take extra care when moving the body. the primary danger comes from the air that might still be in her lungs that could escape. and they don't know if. there's really quite a lot to consider. for this to go on in march. of the deceased's they've prepared this winter big it says one in 5 have the coronavirus. the 4th it's quite rare that we trace the body in undergarments but that's all she had from wearing suits to suck which is east we've seen everything in the form. i often wonder she's satisfied with their life if you were to ask her now was she happy. might she have done something differently she could decide all over again not my insight and current. not long ago to get made

a life changing decision she gave up her position on the board of the media outlets and went into business for herself. safe travels. the change came as quite a surprise to bigots family. the 1st thing i did was tell my husband. and his initial reaction was very calm and collected but today looking back he admitted he thought nothing would ever come of it. he thought i'd forget about it in a few weeks like a crazy thought that never lasts. but he was wrong. 6 year old me to see her mum's profession as a normal job like any other death is no to do in the family. as a lot of my daughter knows what i do she knows i'm an undertaker. and she

also knows the most part what that made it but it's not the main topic of conversation in china. it's completely normal just like with any other profession sometimes we talk about it and sometimes we don't and it always comes up when she sees a little animal that started a little bug and have crisco. then she'll say oh mum's got to come on various stuff you. know the others i'll restrain the others say. that i know you're only an undertaker for people ok good. when being good was 27 her mother died suddenly without any previous illness she was. years old death and bigots experience with the undertaker back then still affect be a good in her work today that my. niece i saw for myself what it was like back then went from one day to the next without any warning you find yourself having to part

with someone very close to you. and your. mention of obscene so innocent at the time we got run through a process more or less possibly. passive nobody really actually was there to help us. it was all quite run of the mill and. often. that time should have been moved comforting force. and that's why i'm trying to do things differently now. bigot and sorrow started a funeral parlor in the midst of the pandemic a relatively uncomplicated process in germany the share house or fairy house office custom funeral concepts tailored to individual requirements the 2 women often accompany the family members for several weeks doing what they can to help them through difficult farewells that's not customary for the business and be a good service as cost a bit more but mourning family member henry car appreciates all he does. can i

get that for you but yes it really has any costs mother passed away a few months ago after a long illness if you miss this one i think it turned out beautifully we had a brand. new think it's so beautiful. and his mother was cremated like most to seize germans when he designed to the urn herself. if. they do everything here with some much love and care they really think about how to make this process as bearable as possible how can they bring a little joy to the mourners how can we connect better it's a good feeling. when the moment. can come through play serenely. perfect fit perfect. when it's in orbit or if i weren't such an environmentalist i would have laid one last cigarette

in there but i couldn't do that to the environment. and he's mother did not die of covert still even at her farewell the pandemic makes itself felt the big wake won't be taking place for henny it just makes the burden harder to bear the invite is so sad that i have to call all my mom's family and friends before the funeral and tell each and every one of them that we can tug at the cemetery and that we'll all have to wear masks we'll have to postpone that for when it's safe to gather again sometime in the summer i hope that makes me so sad and embrace what bring us closer together and to be able to take someone in your arms and receive comfort yourself it's such a shame to have to miss out on that that's just a touch shot of. the funerals to be held the following day. since the mourners want to be able to eat together she packed lunches for everyone . in cafe at a cafe we could've just reserved a table and taken everyone there it would have been easier because we could have

spent more time together that way but a lot of love has gone into this dance can anybody but not every problem caused by the pandemic can be solved as creatively of the can such simple things as shaking hands or even just reaching out a hand sometimes i take my hand in both of mine when i see that someone is struggling and i hug them really tight and deep in their eyes i miss that i long for the day when that's possible again. but nobody knows when that day will arrive be a good has to take things as they come back to with something her profession has taught her so much that i put up to me my job means working through death and what dying means to assume and this toward for inspection but always true that i've come to appreciate so much more about life and i think i'm much more able to enjoy life my and that's leaving a curtain that's leaving a nice and so there are so many things about life i couldn't truly grasp until now

. i had the futa this truly is not just a profession to me it's a calling. fortunately. and her life's work begins where another life ends the day has come when his mother is to be buried. you know how it is today is another corona situation some 50 people want to be that librarian and at the way you can afterwards which only around 20 are allowed into the chapel will open the door was will have loudspeakers outside and a microphone set up inside so the ones who have to stand outside will be able to listen in. just let me take a quick look up front to see command list is there i'm sure must be this issue of distancing rules allow no more than 20 people in the chapel at a time the other mourners will have to live. and to the ceremony over loudspeakers i reckon i'm excited it's just about to start and we've had to set up quite a lot in a relatively short time and it's

a live situation so everything that works works and everything that doesn't doesn't mean we can repeat anything. out that's not our. i would say. 789. 2 chairs. chairs i need chairs once everything set up i'll come down. they had just half an hour to decorate the chapel sarra and to get have some helpers to make sure it all goes without a hitch hennie gets to see the results 1st. thank you it looks great doesn't it now light a few candles so it looks even better. it's so wonderful to see how many people have sent flowers it's so incredibly beautiful. in between the speeches music by the top the hose and the beatles blasts through the loudspeakers it's

a memorial service that's not just sad just the way henny wanted. her. her. her. can you can take 15 leave of her mother and big it is glad that everyone is happy attention is going on and now i can we have a sigh of relief and happiness and even lived out so well and the feedback was so positive many people said that's exactly how she was in life and she would have loved the service and that's great that's so nice is feedback you could ask for and . be a good scheffler undertaker mc friend in need and shining light in times of darkness. 5.
