nasa has put the flight back by at least a few days for. this is the news up next sports live and that is it from me i'm told me all of it well there's more news at the top of the hour with rebecca resist thanks for watching. where i come from we have to fight for a free press and was born and raised in a military dictatorship with just one t.v. shadow and a few newspapers with official information as a journalist i have worked on the streets of many can trust and their problems are all of the same 14 the social inequality a lack of the freedom of the press. corruption work on the floor to stay silent when it comes to the fans the humans and see them right through fools who have
7:16 am
decided to put their trust in us. my name is johnny carson and i work a day dolly. and madge in a national team starring all black from slovenia more than each from croatia jayco from bosnia herzegovina and you'll be trying to serbia. well 30 years ago that would have been possible because they'd all have come from the same country yugoslavia in this day which no longer exists but it's footballers still interests
7:17 am
. the countries that used to make a bigger stronger and produced talent after tell and after talent wise that. gracious. even reached a world cup finals a country of only 4000000 people beating argentina england and russia. in 1980 croatia finished 3rd at their world cup debut. debut why debut. because until the early ninety's cro ads were part of yugoslavia along with slovenes bosnian serbs montenegrins and the city only ends. yugoslavia always had good footballers. more toward the country apart in 1901. i this mean the end of football there boy if i'm not sure none of the successor states national teams are
7:18 am
as successful as croatia. still serbia has the 4th largest export nation of footballers worldwide now compare serbia's population to those of other important export countries. another former yugoslav republic bosnia herzegovina made it to the world cup in 2014. and ignore the macedonia to euro 2021 how many x. yugoslavs are on the team you support probably plenty if it's in syria which posed a record $47.00 of them. why are people from this region so good well 1st of all former yugoslavia always was a true footballing nation. the sport was already popular there before world war 2 yugoslavia played at the 1st 2 world cup in europe why 1930 they even reached the semifinal. after world war 2 the country became communist but soon fell out with the soviet union it shows a 3rd way between communism and capitalism so you can slowly also look the west
7:19 am
toward in many ways. also when it comes to football. yugoslavia's you need cold war experience is really one of the reasons why football is social search for another factor in that session on. the extension which the regime invest in school by the fifty's and sixty's yugoslavia really has cutting age 14 structure this paid off yugoslavia reached the world cup quarter finals in 19541958. they won the olympics in 1960 and came in 4th at the 1962 world cup they might the finals of euro 960 and 68. remarkable success of being a country of 20000000 inhabitants only. club level yugoslavia's big 4 had established themselves as powerhouses the numbers are going to be quite explicit
7:20 am
and belgrade sides red star and parties on. their youth academies produced outstanding talent like a kite up in the creation coastal town or simply. trying. to happen on a fairly regular basis. such as hardship for example coming in or a company this is so successful and so many players are going abroad the use of the word satiation brings in this rule players are allowed to leave the country until the alleged ones are not a very popular policy but it did ensure the domestic yugoslav league was of a high standard. from the combat level from the age of 14 basically these players played together on a very regular basis and got to know each other and as most football fans know chemistry is a very important aspect of a successful saying resulting in a strong league with well supported domestic players big club succeeding in europe
7:21 am
and a formidable yugoslav national team. in the eighty's a new generation of footballers turned this. gold they won the 1987 youth a world championship in chile players like bubba should get a yard of me up to each and came to light they left their mark on ninety's football at 3 out of. milan and others. but they didn't have time to make their mark as a national team hatred was being stirred up among yugoslavia's different ethnicities violence at a game between the now more zagreb and red star belgrade heralded the war that would follow. a global new deal will put it all but you do want to build a community for them if you going to struggle to get people to come back to the support field of logic awarded the 3 month up. a sorcerer to. go.
7:22 am
to sleep and this into the view of the. rights and morals of 1000. and 99 you won the war started yugoslavia fell apart. how did this affect this very talented generation and football as a whole in the region. most incredibly just weeks before the war began red star belgrade still won the equivalent of the champions league in may 991 but shortly after just like thousands of civilians footballers are leaving the region all must some. red star belgrade lost nearly their entire team overnight after the $991.00 triumph. their players left for a way out of milan in terror and others it wasn't just red star other top clubs also struggled and they have yet to fully recover. what you see across the board is an excellent challenge anywhere. where they don't have to stay
7:23 am
in the situation saying you know. and we see the creation all all we. this by all this one of the new national teams managed to rise from the ashes of yugoslavia quite quickly. after its independence grey should join fifa initially there were into 125th in the world only 2 years later and it moved up to 62nd. and another 2 years later they play the euro $996.00 that made it to the quarterfinals. why did they develop so fast. sure they had players that had won the 87 youth world championship. players like months and the sugar were now in their prime. but there was another critical factor triggered by the war identity . they were not just considered ambassadors of identity over sort of this
7:24 am
new form in question of density but they also saw themselves as ambassadors of identity they felt. particular and the extra special motivation for the role that they were in football played a very specific role as as a sacred center of. the 1998 world cup krishna even came in 3rd. although they had to wait 20 years for similar success 2nd place at the 2018 world cup patriotic impetus is still considered a reason for gracious outsized performance. we'll see are we not done a good source or the guy only not last is there this of course much on a sawmill and yet so england though is so national francis quite aware that the open market a child will call along with him as much does so said the child she is an odd mix of the welsh the only sort i genuinely am at arthur. and i'll more with yes one
7:25 am
only for bitchy. bigots a bit was a lot of. things are quite different in serbia and montenegro the un saw them as the aggressor is in the yugoslav wars sanctions prevented the national teams and clubs from playing abroad. or where you don't get enough votes or not least you can believe it was you got rich people who got a lot of. well you know it comes to the middle east but what you. see and what families are now is it look more than a. certain montenegrins came back now as federal republic of yugoslavia and maybe 2 world cup in 1908 and euro 2000 they too had their share of the golden generation like bread like me out of each and players from european cup winning red star. senior sherry kind which or down sorry to reach.
7:26 am
the excellent youth work survived the war one outstanding example is quite a tease on belgrade's a cat. but these are no mothers. who did this if you did not wish to be like. you want me. to. do a sort of me service production of youth talent is so massive that the country is listed as the world's 4th largest export nation of footballers which is often a recipe for club survival was an option not to be got all the. lot of the. leaders created this 1000000 never going to see yet it's already there it will be really young kossovo to build its football on these pillars relying on patriotic impetus and recruiting from a large diaspora before corona in late 2019 i want to call
7:27 am
your wife as youngest. kossovo was once an autonomous province of serbia and declared independence in 2008 it was admitted to you a fine 2016 and almost qualified for euro 2021. how. war torn and still not recognized by some major countries such as russia or china in kosovo football is clearly much more than just football. the way. the world. lines are very like the way i like it. and you work with you but maybe you want to watch. matches this sprite the diaspora factor ok she was actually born in kosovo but goalkeeper morici in switzerland or defender in germany. kosovo's football team is also about nation building and
7:28 am
with all the enthusiasm this seems to work so far. finally nor the macedonia qualify. for euro 2021. this former yugoslav republic did not come out of nowhere either. at all. continuation of the yugoslav school with an emphasis on good youth work. hard you are almost. all. in all and in your. years in. yugoslavia has left more than just the traces and today's football that laid the foundation for an unstoppable production of talent and some great success against the odds.
7:29 am
when food becomes scarce. climate change has put traditional agriculture under massive pressure. all over the world researchers are searching for solutions. can high tech farms help secure our future. next on d w. come an architecture firm in the netherlands has experimented risk letters. making words on building facades into a tram. out of. the
7:30 am
bus and it's as if they don't need to keep a date on the books both for the older russian home the 4th time food the whole of the closeness you know that we can about the lives of at least the bottom of the ballet that the last dragon was one of those called the home through used. to agree but. the truth. is this what the future of agriculture looks like vegetables and lettuce has stacked on several floors artificially let's. fully automated farming returns from drought prostin store. this isn't a futuristic question. in japan this is already the reality. for a large in this new system we can produce food on the optimal conditions with high nutritional content and good taste of the iraq war the huge an imbalance the big
7:31 am
difference to working in the field of the book by the child's mother working the fields in brandenburg these thick dust clouds are due to the drought. without massive artificial eric ation there would be no harvest are these fields facing an imminent collapse. or don't even as the conditions are currently i would have to recommend my children look for. a different profession. devastating drought here heavy flooding elsewhere. food production is in danger and catastrophic famines wreak havoc throughout the world researchers are searching for solutions. a typical harvest in japan. the workers wear protective suits that are hygenic they
7:32 am
prepare. the environment it's clinical these lettuce heads are cultivated that sort of and free of pesticides. in this room the temperature always remains the same. is that although i find it pretty good that i can always work indoors regardless of the weather it's rather than in the rice fields. vertical farming is the name of this method from japan as seen here at the company spread and cure to the roots thrive in a liquid new transmission without topsoil but with the same natural ingredients such as sodium and potassium. lamps with a similar color temperature to sunlight are used. solar collectors and the building's green facade indicate that progress is that home here. the university of chiba in japan. and this futuristic looking greenhouse experiments with vertical
7:33 am
vegetable cultivation are being conducted. professor to your key cause i invented this method in the 1970 s. back then he initially had problems finding the right light and had high electricity costs the breakthrough came with technology. show me a good local originally i wanted to help the small farmers do all the small lead parcels she strike vertical farming enables one to achieve 100 times more annual harvest. on a single area then with conventional farming he washed up so it's worth investing in such vegetable factories these facilities can be set up anywhere it's an important step towards sustainable agriculture there are no losses during the harvest and we use less energy for transport productivity and profitability can be increased even further with the latest technology to those who look. at this method is mainly used for vets to post and salads as far as staple foods go
7:34 am
such as cereals or potatoes more research is still needed. to know one dish. in japan after the cuckoo shima catastrophe there was a lot of interest in these new greenhouses because it is possible to produce all year round regardless of external influences from all who wants to our methods the farmers have a stable production without damage from insects or warms the dish. and of course the system is sustainable when you can run these budged factories in the middle of the city and produce local food as needed from the. uk and. the contrast agriculture and the fields. once again the farmers like watch are a lot of watcher and the weather is much too hot temperatures of up to 40 degrees celsius can dry up the soil to 2 metres deep.
7:35 am
large parts of germany are affected by trout in the summer. the results can be the total loss of the harvest was high financial losses. can harden and brandenburg as one of the farmers who suffer he grows potatoes and corn. his farm is located in an area with light dry soil. without the help of expensive irrigation systems nothing would grow on his farm. the water already needs to be pumped from deep underground and climate experts predict that even more extreme dry periods are expected. the world to get aboard and called that if you look at the ground here there is no moisture and i can survive by the fun to be that's why there's not much on belles it's. too miserable potatoes there are
7:36 am
a few more which might have been ok if i had an awful lot of my last year we are having a very dry year again it's only rained half the amount that we normally would have had at this time of year or so or so dry from last year that even the little rain we've had over the last few days is not enough for the plants because i can only function as we are and we are. but how can the farmer's problems be solved how can we ensure that food supply in the future is safe. battening in university in the netherlands is looking into these questions at the renowned agricultural university scientists are working on using new ideas and methods to finally defeat hunger in the 21st century they are working on the assumption that in just 30 years twice as much food will have to be produced as today but the conditions for this have become worse in order not to exacerbate the climate crisis the area available for food
7:37 am
cultivation should not increase new methods are therefore needed to produce food in the future. and funding and as head of the plant science department he understands how grave the situation is. so if we change nothing and we keep all consuming the way we are doing it we don't optimize the way we produce our food then for the next 40 years we will need to produce. as much food as we did over the last 8000 years and i think that gives a really good impression how big the challenge is to feed the world in 2050. with its huge greenhouses the netherlands is the 2nd largest food exporter in the world and they take care of their resources. vegetable growers here much less water to grow tomatoes than elsewhere thanks to new era cation
7:38 am
techniques. our research is focusing on. to produce more food but at the same time to do it with less inputs so we need to produce more nutritious food more safe food and this challenge more with less and better is really the overarching theme of our research programs. this is how daily life looks in the spanish region of our mary. under this sea of plastic tarp and nice europe's largest freshwater garden. artificially irrigated grown for exports. millions of tons of tomatoes peppers cucumbers and other varieties are shipped from here mostly to germany. but intensive cultivation has its price. pesticides and fertilizers contribute to the fact that hardly anything grows here outside the greenhouses. and the spanish vegetable farmers are running out of water the whole area is drying up.
7:39 am
the situation in africa is even more extreme especially south of the sahara. there isn't an increase in weather catastrophes. it's almost impossible for the poor and hungry to lift themselves out of their misery without external help says the secretary general of german agro action. zeidan yards wide since 2014 the number of hungry people has continued to rise and currently 821000000 people suffer that we can see quite clearly that about 30000000 people have been affected as a direct result of the climate change this claim of hundreds. but a lot personally and very acutely affected by this because the storms currently hitting these countries were previously completely unknown and this is just such
7:40 am
a sign of the destructive force that a change in climate country give us and how the people in the countries where we work are quite defenseless and at the mercy of the elements also give us and. catastrophes drought and floods destroying not only the living spaces of inhabitants but also valuable agricultural land. other kronenberg from recurring heart and consult his trap problems with technical help supported by the view he nevertheless as pessimistic about his future. make legalisms ira geishas the only way we can still grow things here. grain cultivation is actually not feasible anymore before and we are no longer competitive worldwide would be reviewable the potatoes that we irrigate are sold here in the region where we still have a market that we can sell to redeem recalled will be including. back in japan at

the company's spread and kyoto headquarters for the new world of agriculture spread as currently the world's largest farm for vertical production. an employee of the company on her way to work. her clothes are more similar to what people wear in an operating theatre than on an outdoor farm. here hygiene regulations are very strict . all precautions are used to prevent germs from the outside entering the production as the food should be clean and unspoiled. in this closed sterile environment the plants grow without the use of pesticides and fertilizers. a good $50000.00 heads of lettuce leaves the factory every day this hall is only used for packaging others are used for growing very special to most including mushrooms and exotic herbs. the selection is large none of the produces washed as there are germs in the watch and that may cause the vegetables
7:42 am
to spoil another advantage of this type of indoor farming is that the plants thrive on several floors above each other and each very little valuable floor space the cultivation and some of the house is already fully automatic. she found at the factory 15 years ago you could talk to the need fact that climate change or the explosion of the world's population was not a big issue in so doing or was there a market for factory grown vegetables well you may be more but now we make a good profit. i don't think that factories will replace conventional farming completely but i think that our way of farming will play a central role in 20 or 30 years to go through. we want to share the technology with poor countries so that they can produce their own food or to go to your stuff the stuff i thanks to the short distances to supermarkets and restaurants no goods are spoiled train transports unlike in conventional said by chains. on the other
7:43 am
hand conventional agriculture in japan is also in a deep crisis. farmers use pesticides as a necessary tool and rice cultivation price which is sacred to many japanese is heavily subsidized in japan the market is largely protected by high customs duties price imports are considered an attack on cultural heritage. but the areas under cultivation are dwindling the average size of a japanese farm is just $1.00 hectares which makes it difficult for farmers to make ends meet. that is why there are hardly any young people farming was the average age of a farmer being 66 years old cooperatives are formed in many places in order to be able to far more effectively but the increase in natural disasters is also causing them problems.
7:44 am
to avoid being held hostage by these changes the farmer. was inventive. of grow up and this is my aquaponics system he proudly explains and his small greenhouse he is trying out a new form of agriculture aquaponics. here pressure bread and large tanks i.q. to easy money has 250 sturgeon's and his facility. what. the fish excrement is pumped out and used as fertilizer for various vegetables the watcher purified by the plants is then returned to the fish tanks. from rice farmer to modern aquaponics farming almost all vegetables thrive here all year round and are independent of climate changes the greenhouses even withstood an earthquake the neighboring farmers have already suffered this year it rained too
7:45 am
much and their plants did not get enough sun. i kid out over can still carry his harvest to the market. and dreams of an even bigger plant. such as this one in the show never back to strict in berlin and the grounds of an old industrial complex greenhouses professional growing in the middle of the city. groups of visitors from all over the world come here to learn about the goings on inside. this is also an aquaponics farm but on a grand scale. the current product capital city. grown put the excrement to fish president these tanks. the fish that is marketed in berlin is of course called capital city perch. with one thought we want to
7:46 am
produce more people consume so we don't have long supply chains or long cold storage times and we have a much better c o 2 balance that suits right i think our fish the capital city perch is the freshest best you can buy here in berlin on. the principle as old as the hills the water that is polluted by the fish is extracted and used his manure for the plants and has been used this way for centuries and china and by the mayans of central america. the plants grow faster on shelves or in raised beds in these rooms than in a natural environment the young entrepreneurs produce $1500.00 pounds per week for a supermarket chain so won't take long before the costs for the 1400000 euro construction are recovered. 30. 7.8000000000 people currently live on our planet in a mere 30 years it will be 11000000 more and more people are leaving the rule areas
7:47 am
and according to you now. nation study 2 thirds of the world's population will be living in cities and 2050. or more of these fires will have to people especially and asia. their megacities already extend over huge areas without any agriculture more plants and more greenery is needed in the cities. urban planners face a new challenge the inhabitants of mega-cities not only have to be supplied with living space watcher and energy they also need room for growing food. the descent of architects just talking an orphan and his staff are planning huge presidential and office complexes and almost all the world's megacities and they need to make them attractive to live in. dallas and it's we have to deal with
7:48 am
overheated city so it is also significant a woman and halter on the surrounding areas that we're dealing with that is that are not only damaged so to speak but also sealed so offices there is little contact between the environment and the us with correspondingly negative consequences due to the influx of people and of a crowned by the physical but i thought it is no longer possible to ignore this problem with me so the idea of revegetation and of green architecture to quote plan a major role in the wheelchair war from the ending of it all for no. this residential and office complex in singapore as high as the berlin television tower is an example of the descent of architects work. 20000 people live and work here a small town in a single building complex. in the middle of it is a green heart 350 different plant species help to provide better air and a better climate. this is certainly not the solution for normal rural

central european areas it is not a solution for high density locations green or of course if you plan to create a green area you can also use it to produce food so you have to have facts of life fact you have to shading a factor and the fact that the food is produced here so you have the benefit of oxygen production and an additional advantage is that if the project is grown here you also save c o 2 do you know to shelter transport roads what we're going to stop the us green areas and not just for recreation. agricultural producers grain food and high rise buildings or on roofs next to huge office towers just really i wouldn't dismiss it although it does of course seemed bizarre because i think that from a central european perspective it's difficult to imagine the density and intensity is one of the difficulties many of these cities will face in the next 50 years and

what comes next is to achieve this with the quality that enables the people to live healthy lives there on a minute basis and also for us. what sounds like a futuristic dream is already reality and asia. but also in europe more and more people are moving to the cities and the transport supply chains for food are getting longer. in the center of tokyo dickinson the main shopping street of the metropolis home to the large japanese corporations and long established institutions. i have rice field in the middle of it on the roof of a high rise building. i psec you grew very close the raw material for its rice wine here. in japan such is not just an alcoholic beverage it is an indispensable part of the country's culture just like rice. which is why sackey and rice belong right

in the heart of tokyo for this program. it is also an experimental field for new varieties the roof of a high rise building as an agricultural alternative. that body. in the beginning they didn't take us seriously no rice would grow here as much to it right here at night with a cut on the roof it's much too hot. but our experiments have been good and we're harvesting more and more the rice grows well here i think it's right that in japan they are looking for different ways to grow rice and vegetables it's a challenge. and after all that rice is part of our tradition ideal where it starts to get there not only. each season the group produces 50 parcels of sackey from a small rice field on the roof of. the historic building in the center of berlin. right next to the museum's

entrance hall is a restaurant. feel limited to class cabinets are not just part of the decor i inside grow herb's and salads and it's really start up based in berlin has placed these plant cabinets in various restaurants in the city as well as in the stores of a supermarket chain to function similarly to the plant factories in japan and ensure that the project is fresh on the table. there are 50 cent's many greenhouses and berlin alone and about $200.00 already distributed throughout europe. 2 square meters of space in the plant cabinet corresponds to 250 square meters of regular farmland and this food is wasted in the kitchen because you only harvest what is necessary for the dishes that guests have ordered they are obviously the motor cars 2 or 3 times

a week we don't have to watch it because it doesn't have any dirt it has just water it wants so it's perfect for for the cook and also for the guests this is for example it's true still let us 1st of all it's there for us this is very hard to get in there in the market so well you can see that it's super tasting and the fact that you just you are harvesting it and putting it straight into the plate it makes a huge difference but the other 3 and i think this is an oldie both are one is that you have access to the flavors and plans. that you cannot get anywhere for example this one is small stuff and it's something that you cannot get in the market it's really like. a shark and spicy. admittedly this kind of special preparation is more for the enjoyment of a metropolitan minority presently these greenhouses are not your plan for mass
