hello and welcome to. coming to you from my neighborhood in mumbai. which was once the. choice among many. weddings for example which are huge in. india. joining the bad bad in some parts of the country and also can order in bangalore is making. unforgettable memories but also save the involvement in the process. of. these special. instead of importing them.
5:32 pm
to create a more environmentally friendly indian wedding. since the lipan began her career she's not just a significant shift in what couples now want on their perfect day so i have been doing this for about 6 years now when i started this i have always been conscious of the choices that they are making so really have tried to implemented here and there and sometimes clients didn't know or we and we did inform them that by going to choose something different so i would say probably about 30 percent of the 6 years ago probably less i guess 20 percent wanted something ecofriendly but now i'm surprised myself to see so many people coming forward saying that they want eco friendly so i would see probably like about 70 to 75 percent people are kind of conscious and want your friend the things. traditionally indian families celebrate marriage with and show up a wedding is a display of wealth and tradition. while there is an encouraging green trend among
5:33 pm
urban indians delete nonsense that comes with a lot of challenges. people always thing that an eco friendly wedding is equal to being cheap so that has been a challenge trying to get people away from that concept of eco friendly being cheap so there are many different aspects for an eco friendly wedding it can be a simple thing as having people or see people or even a digital invite for the in ways that you give your guests even as a simple thing like having a chalkboard for your site and then getting a flex printed which is again a one time use in terms of your trousseau as well i would recommend probably using for one event at least your grandmother's out of your mother's wedding starting probably even if you are some jewelry as well. said months who is another green entrepreneur and. she founded ben necessities 0 with shop. she says that is trendy but it isn't a new concept in the country. traditionally we used to live in
5:34 pm
a very easy to list we in india and i think in a lot of. the scores you know it's narrative that's honestly don't need to buy a western rhetoric. and i think essentially it's a movie used to do with it's not that normally so i think it is can be very accessible can be very are my be very average and indian. so i think it can be for everyone and it's just about making these small little microlight choices and then it just adds up. month sudan's workshops on the weekends to improve accessibility and get the community you talking and thinking about reducing waste. she also publishes a d.i.y. ideas online with the idea that small changes can drive a big movement. i think sometimes gets a bad rep about being too expensive or inaccessible and that's why we do all of these talks and workshops so honestly we. just need
5:35 pm
a kitchen or your backyard and you can mostly make a lot of these products within like 20 rupees. but the idea is essentially you know to make it just even accessible so that's a very transparent about address abuse it all on our website so if you want to make yourself toward you go for it because the ultimate aim is just for less waste to be end up in a landfill and alshon i'm optimistic that it's going to really change automation to could be used. and sustainability of the. eco friendly living is often seen as a privilege of the rich but with entrepreneurs like the leap on championing small steps and improving people's access to green ideas indian consumers have increasing opportunities on their doorstep. let's take the example of rising energy needs. as an emerging nation with the world's 2nd largest population the soaring demand for energy is in ever to be in india most of this demand is met
5:36 pm
by burning fossil fuels to be who the government is splashing more and more people to buy into the promise of valuable energy like solar power the actual switch is a very tedious process. building contractors hard work has paid off in 2050 if you bought a house where his family of 4. it's a big house complete with modern kitchen and air conditioning. the electricity bill is around $10000.00 rupees a month over $100.00 euros. to save money he decided to make the switch to renewables. we had heard of the government's solar dog and we wanted to contribute also i saw my neighbor mr go had also installed the roof top solar system in his house that's where i got the idea of installing one in my house which is from. his
5:37 pm
200 square meter roof was ideal so she'll share my installed a rooftop solar system in 2018 it meets the household entire energy needs. india is home to a growing urban middle class experts say that of the trend continues the country's birth capital and energy consumption is said to quadruple. where. all. of this energy comes from. and. so if this is to remain in the future. in mind it also means that oracle are already coming from. between their curriculum on greenhouse gas emissions
5:38 pm
officially the government is backing an energy transition it has set a target of 100 gigawatt installed capacity of solar energy by 2022. 40 go what will come from rooftop solar systems that's the equivalent output of 10 large school fire power plants but so far it's achieved only a fraction of the stargate. the field is all for you know this is it imports and companies are using their. friends who are also as you say. you know a.t.v.'s process or rationing so that when it comes to violence. and the banks early in. the company my son specializes in rooftop solar panel systems it also helps clients navigate the people work involved . the indian state subsidies the installation but the
5:39 pm
country is still a long way from reaching its clean energy targets. the real revolution of solar we only come when people like you and i are businesses are those buildings industries corporates hotels everyone starts using solar because everyone has roof i mean. so you have millions of buildings you know wherever you have buildings you have potentially a space for solar setting up a solar power project for so she'll share mine the investment was worth it in the last 2 years his 7 kilowatt solar panel system has produced 22000 units of electricity. it was most of the biggest benefit for me was that of the total cost of a piece $4.00 and a half lakh i was able to pay in installments of a piece. sometimes my legacy bill would be working more than that i didn't have to pay anything extra and made this shift for free. as india's middle class continues
5:40 pm
to grow the country's energy demand is soaring especially in the cities but if more families which to renewables as a share must have done india's growth want to be at the expense of the environment . a great idea often needs the right time to come to fruition for bicycle enthusiastic london. proved to be the onset of the pandemic look i don't know why this crisis has meant fewer cars and a lot more bikes on the city's streets and this could help make a big policy push towards stemming london into a bicycle friendly city. on. the cyclists and wounded us to be quite comfortable. with the road one day's video called produce cyclist is not really much of a problem but you have to be going to more or less the speed of the truck for a new presence on the road has to be quite strong. philip jones and rides his bike
5:41 pm
everywhere he cycle some 20000 kilometers a year. after texan excellence and his family are pleased that more and more londoners are discovering the joys of cycling. that will cycling enthusiast from the time when young children broke that bikes to school. there's still something of an audit seen on t.v. but how could soon change. in school. for advancing get people cycling. the next generation i mean the definitely be more comfy than that on the by i personally think they should just go ahead and close 50 percent. side streets. to cause don't need to go on 50 percent so give us access to everybody. cause as much as possible. those kinds of demands get london's taxi driver has the riled up the city's cabbies are among scientists the
5:42 pm
racist critics. who don't want to get rid of old and. they would and then uses the traffic at the moment is terrible. drug. so whatever michael moore sorcha license is just going to make the traffic even worse as digests itself the people who saw it drive the marmot dot not the high white collars and the small percentage of do not highlight charge. i did. so this should be some sort of a test for cyclists and yet london's in a city is currently swarming with bicycles as the qur'an the crisis in a new age of mentality. cyclists now have some powerful supporters behind them there will be a huge amount of planning going into helping people to get to work other than by mass transit and this will be i hope and of the my right of free will as
5:43 pm
a former secretary of transport i would agree this is should be a new go in a rage cycle but they must act fast when commuters return on mass it won't be enough buses or trains to accommodate them and take it to social distancing missions if even a small percentage of these commute to start using cars instead london will be fixed with 10 children the temptation to get into medical will be very very strong and understandable so i think we've got a short window of time to reach out to both the politicians and to the public a large to say there is a better writer of today this. is the city number and its financial district is in the way. during the day access is restricted to process and bikes only. and sidewalks are being widened to give pedestrians more rain. and in some residential districts streets are being slimmest to 3 traffic drivers are
5:44 pm
having to find other bricks. oh all. this just in these few weeks there's an amazing opportunity to connect. a lot of the unconnected parts to get the local councils on board to get the local roads placing for cycling events is this true universal. during the corona crisis london feels a bit more like bike friendly amsterdam. philip johnson and his family hope it will stay that way though this new golden age for cycling seemed almost too good to be true. when the cycle find struck eastern india in mid 2020 the world heritage site of the sunderbans wasn't spared located in the bay of bengal it constitutes the largest mango forest on earth and is at the receiving end
5:45 pm
of many many calamities local communities are now putting their heads together to find long term sustainable solutions to improve the living conditions in a place they call home. pan had barely come and gone when help arrived in the sunderbans. volunteers from the quarantine students network set up pumps to expel the salt water that had collected in the fish ponds. the immediate aim of the emergency assistance was to enable locals to return to fish farming and also prevent an outbreak of disease. public. health and hygiene are seriously disrupted here and need to be restored stagnant water is dangerous as it can lead to gastro intestinal diseases as well as skin conditions and then there is the often ignored issue of snake bite bite. this fish farmer however no longer sees
5:46 pm
a future here for herself and her family. and what can we do we are dependent on relief now once a lockdown is lifted we will have to leave this in their bones to find work there is nothing left here. this in advance is home to 4000000 people it's located in the delta formed by the confluence of the brahmaputra ganges and magna rivers and has a unique ecosystem but the region is frequently hit by storms it took years for the residents to recover from cyclon iowa in 2009 before being devastated again in may of this year. and neil is at least relieved that this time his home was not destroyed by supercycle and his family also survived and hers. were given to the family lives in a part of the same divans where a large section of protective levees has been erected. our we've.
5:47 pm
already been built inside julia and lara poorly these areas have traditionally face tremendous damage due to site loans surprisingly this time they were saved because . next to our village and rang a bell. which used to suffer a lot because of the storms but this time the concrete embankments have saved the day. it's been 11 years since the indian government decided to build the cinder vans embankments but just 5 kilometers have been completed to date that section withstood the recent storms and also proved useful for transporting emergency aid so people here now hope construction will continue at a faster pace the tico society for rural development is an ngo that's been helping local residents since the 1970 s. and that's one of the you will not go on in. the lives of the people in the stelter always hanging on a thread. so. he knows what danger awaits the next.
5:48 pm
predictable and they will get worse we need to be properly prepared by quins our best bet. but the embankment still can't stop the salt water from getting into the fields from the neil knows he has to adapt by farming his land differently. in some of his fields has now planted more durable plants we're going to. an organization based in delhi helps us with farming certain pulses can grow even in storm prone areas where salt water frequently enters. the gun i was not going to last 5 years we've been growing a range of lentils and pulses across 200 hectares. because this can prove to be more sustainable for cycling prone regions like ours. the future of the
5:49 pm
people living in the city buns will depend on how quickly they can change which crops they plant and how and how soon the embankment can be completed because the cyclons will return with growing frequency and intensity. when faced with a natural calamity not only humans but animals need support to survive 2 female orangutans for example breed slow and produce only 4 to 5 offspring stored in their lifetime when they younger offspring. to survive in the light and animal welfare project in sumatra even during the pandemic is teaching these. kids to do just that. humans have to keep their distance from. even at lunchtime. because both species are griscom contract coronavirus.
5:50 pm
these are rang a tang's are under lockdown and i've had to stay in their cages for months. this is a general rule if. you can't train them. financial system get them for it so we bring in the forest for them so it's like. right. all this for us. so they can learn that it's their meals are delivered wrapped in leaves so they have to figure out how to get the food useful practice when they're later released into the wild. cages or disinfected twice a day. hygiene is of crucial importance. the teams who care for the animals rotate every 3 weeks before they start work staff have their temperature taken another
5:51 pm
coronavirus precaution they shot the video for this report themselves we talked to the head of the project by video call. or we're going to talk. about long time d.n.a. is 97 percent identical to the out of humans so they're extremely susceptible to all our diseases especially those affecting the risperidone tract. you know that's the main reason why we've imposed such a strict quarantine to make sure there's no transmission of a virus replicating in humans to a population in the wild. it would probably have no immunity atoll to such a virus now it's. the effects could be devastating. through has been reporting on this project for years 3 aim is to prepare a rang a tank for survival in their natural jungle habitat in the. rain forest in central
5:52 pm
so much. many were rescued as orphans often held captive as pets under terrible conditions they had forgotten or had never learned how to move through the tree tops forage for food and build nests their keepers at the jungle school teach them all these skills usually out in the forest itself. i rang a tings enjoy piggy back ride many of them don't like to walk much this was before the coronavirus pandemic. so no exercises in the forest for now even though they have so much to learn things. probably the most important item on the curriculum at jungle school is learning about fruit trees what they look like and when they bear fruit. in which season or in which years. in order to survive every rung aton has to
5:53 pm
develop a 4 dimensional map in their heads covering space and time it takes time to learn all the but we've had to suspend the learning process where the trees and when do they bear fruit as the iranian towns have to stay in their cages. the lockdown can only be relaxed once the pandemic has been contained this is not good for the animals their fitness deteriorates and they become bored even the target not the best pre-conditions for release and survival in the wild. those that have already been set free currently lead better lives keepers go on patrol to check on them and provide extra food if need be. here to social distancing applies. our work. yes for sure. they.
5:54 pm
the school is located in the book rain forest and releases its graduates there it's a very remote location. so should any around at things here catch the coronavirus they won't pass it on to other ones in the wild. what's more they tend to be naturally self isolating creatures anyway and don't hang out in big groups. the team faces the challenge of protecting their wards from possible infection while also training them for release this video was shot a couple of years ago there is no guarantee that a self-sustaining population will emerge here again over the past half century 80 percent of the region's rain forests have been cut down to make way for vast plantations. on our last visit paid to pa to stress the importance of saving the
5:55 pm
forest and teaching the orangutans survival skills. and you. if the orangutans are able to survive here and all the other animals in the rain forest animal community will be to the tigers elephants and all the other species that's why it's so important to protect them. the number of covert 1000 cases among humans in indonesia continues to rise. the project has a back up plan if the lockdown goes on for too long it will release its a ragged tang's into the wild before they've completed their schooling but will then provide them with longer term support out in the forest it's that way the irag attains will be able to settle and have offspring and their numbers can grow until the threat of extinction here is banished. i hope you had many takeaways from to be a stroke especially that a modern society needn't truly harmful determination to live an environmentally

6:01 pm
3 years after donald trump pulled out of an international. come to the program at least $51.00 people have been killed in a train crash in taiwan a crowded train appears to have come off the rails inside the tunnel after hitting a truck dozens more were injured in the incident in eastern taiwan many travelers were on the move during a holiday weekend in which people traditionally tend to family graves the government has ordered an independent investigation after the initial rescue operation is complete. shuffling to safety one train carriage ruth at a time these passengers of being rescued from taiwan's deadliest railway disaster in decades. all of
6:02 pm
a sudden i just fell from my seat to the ground i hit my head and sore it was bleeding. the train crowded with more than 400 people the rails in a tunnel after slamming into a truck that rolled onto the tracks from a nearby construction site the impact ripped some carriages of pot and crumpled others. rescue was worked for hours to reach trapped passengers. many of whom were rushed to hospital. many people were crushed under the train seats from the collision and there were others on top of the sedes so those at the bottom were crushed and lost consciousness. the accident comes at the start of a busy annual long holiday weekend when taiwan's roads and railways a usually packed investigations into the cause of the crash are ongoing the other correspondent joins me is standing by for us inside the hospital where
6:03 pm
the seriously injured are being treated to that's very close to the crash site of course to us what's the latest so those search and rescue efforts have already and dutch and all the bodies of the 50. have already been sent to a nearby funeral homes all family members to identify and along the 50. dead one of them is a french national he is 28 years old and he died just 2 days before his. so what else do we know about the victims the dead and the injured. there is a total of $160.00 injured passengers and 2 of the. japanese nationals and one of them is from macau and i am currently in
6:04 pm
a major hospital in the body and near the crest site and 55 of the injured passengers were sent here to this hospital and unfortunately one died and she is a 6 year old girl and her 12 year old sister is also in the intensive care unit now just so that by know any more details about what exactly happened it is believed that a crane truck downslope. from a construction site the tunnel and hit the train which was housing by. the authorities is still investigating whether the truck was improperly pocked which caused the incident. to that your correspondent joyously they're bringing up to date thank you very much shows. the sheriff has sworn
6:05 pm
in a new president just 2 days after the government accused the army of trying to stage a coup that presents mohamed bazooms inauguration mass the 1st peaceful transition of power in decades the new administration will have to deal with growing islamist extremism united nations ranks nature as one of the world's poorest nations. on the now joined from lagos by west africa correspondent fred when you fred the 1st ever democratic transition of power in the asia how much of a watershed moment is that for the country and also for the region. it's very remarkable it's a great day in new zealand because i mean as you have stayed as is this country got independence in 1960 they have never had a peaceful transition of power so this is really poor time for them because they have had just who did ties and one president top or the other so they never really
6:06 pm
had in a peaceful transition of power but also it's not only a new genre but also it is tough a country region where. most presidents always preferred to actually take power by changing their course future so that they can stay grow and gain power so i mean for all with afrikaans this is really remarkable to see one praised in tandem go over to your other. but just 2 days ago apparently there was an attempted coup so how stable will this new presidency be. yeah i mean the biggest problem is how they meet or it forces i trust supporting president. and he's also facing the opposition. and he's a former president who himself was toppled in 99 when he took power between 19030996 so i mean he has sort. many challenges days also it
6:07 pm
could be dividing the county there is a leash will be security so how he's going to run the country in the next 5 minutes really a big challenge. for the new president so aside from the staying in power walk the major issues that lie ahead for president bush. there is of course as i have just mentioned there is an issue of the security is sargent's have a complete to be almost taken over the country because 80 percent of the of nisha is not completely controlled by the government forces there have been attacks on have sure weeks ago there have been killings that you can count to 300 people killed in some parts of new jersey then there is ocean so i'm sure our pool but in the county and i mean probably me so busy these prison has really so many challenges to handle and injuries one of the quote is the countries in the world is
6:08 pm
doing what is countries in the world so how he's going to change that in the next 5 or even a 2nd that's also something that's remains to be seen. use west africa correspondent fred move on and later as that thank you fred. time now to have a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world clashes have erupted in the disputed region of kashmir villages threw stones at security forces they responded with tear gas and rubber bullets daily says an earlier indian operation killed 3 militants and local support either independence or pakistani rule over kashmir. protesters in myanmar have been marching to remember the more than 500 people killed by security forces since the military seized power in a coup in february the us shut down while as internet services. christians have been visiting with religious sites in jerusalem to mark good friday
6:09 pm
while observing coronavirus with which some on them the church of the holy city where christians believe jesus was crucified franciscan friars also lead worship is down the via dolorosa retracing was tradition holds were jesus' final steps. there are no hopes of a breakthrough in negotiations over iran's nuclear program washington is now indicating it's willing to discuss returning to a nuclear deal with tehran via negotiations in vienna austria next with an international agreement reached in 2015 m. to limit iran's nuclear activities ministration unilaterally pulled out of the deal 3 years ago iran has recently resumed in reaching uranium to near weapons grade quality triggering a scramble to restart negotiations. from all that i'm now joined by g.w. is teri schultz in brussels terry is this really the new start of the start of
6:10 pm
a new iran nuclear deal. we're very far away from being able to have any optimism about a new nuclear deal with the european union as the mediator of the current deal is focused on is getting both iran and the united states back into compliance with this agreement the 2015 agreement and what happened today was that there was a virtual meeting. facilitated by the european union of the remaining members of the nuclear deal that's the ied 3 britain france and germany and china and russia along with iran and there agreed to meet in person in vienna next tuesday and then the european union said well it would like to hold separate talks with u.s. officials at the same time in vienna and the u.s. agreed so that is the basis for this new feeling of optimism that there may be some way to talk a both to iran and the united states and to try to get them on the same page not
6:11 pm
necessarily direct talks at this point that remains up in the year but even talking to them both in the same city is enough to give a breath of fresh air to the possibilities. both the u.s. and iran have always insisted the other side to move 1st before direct toll would be possible so what's changed now is that on the direct talks on the table. we're not sure the united states said in responding to this plan for direct for in person talks in vienna that it remains open to direct talks with iran now that the state department has said this before and it's been tehran that rejected that idea so it ron says that the u.s. must remove sanctions that were put on by former president trump and the u.s. says there ron must stop its nuclear activities and come back into compliance at the lower level of enrich uranium that the nuclear deal requires so there still
6:12 pm
hasn't been any breakthrough on this that each side says the other needs to move but again the fact is that officials from both governments will be unveiling vienna at the same time is considered a step forward if these indirect talks next week in vienna go well what could be next steps the plan in vienna is for there to be 2 lists of tasks to to do lists and that is one for iran what it would take to come back into compliance with the deal and for the united states to removing the same sions which are illegal under the deal if the u.s. were to rejoin and those chub list at some point would have to be joined up and there would have to be a timeline and that's where things have always gotten stuck before so there are means a lot of work to do to bring both the u.s. and iran back but again there seems to be just a bit of opening of minds on both sides and we'll have to see where that goes there
6:13 pm
are still conflicting reports of bounding in the twitter sphere about whether the iranians will really come in and what the u.s. might be willing to do so it remains up in the air but at least there's something to talk about now and that hasn't been true for a very long time. in brussels that thank you. the rescheduled tokyo games are less than 4 months away and 12 year old state boarding prodigy skye brown is all set to compete when her sport makes its olympic dead due in july she has fully recovered from her life threatening accident last year and is now ready to perform on the biggest stage. sky brown is smiling again despite the delay of the games she's still raring to go for gold in tokyo and sees the positives in the year long wait to compete. i thought my shoes are you know gone out i can be in her room digs and. feel sad
6:14 pm
but then i realise it is the way then you know we just get more time. get better and i got same time my family but the delay of the games was not her biggest setback that year in june she revealed she had suffered her worst full yet the accident left her with skull fractures and a broken left wrist and hand she was unresponsive on arrival at hospital but made a full recovery i'm john stronger actually. isn't doing me he junger but yes it was a pretty hard time and sight at any. given for a back like norway or lamb. during her recovery the half british half japanese skateboarder spent more time on her other passion of surfing and may even treated as more than
6:15 pm
a hobby in future. i actually want to compete in something takes a few weeks. next next year and next there are breaks and paris. first things 1st though as her trailblazing debut in tokyo beckons. and that's all from me stay tuned for up lots with business. news let's get right to the heart of the. healthy as death warrants are good for the. warming doesn't.
