it sounds paradoxical it. but all the areas in between are just pulsating with life because here nobody is fighting nature and you know 2 of you came feel. good in light of the works for the very nature conservation organization when you buildings are planned he's often called in to identify the species at potential risk. pools and launch off military training areas of the only large tracts of countryside apart from national parks where no pesticides are used most people don't realize that our farmland is sprayed several times a year with highly toxic substances. and they kill off most of the small organisms like. wild meadow flowers and insects is but the opposite to that. lytle spot something oh. look a white tailed eagle it's got some praying and by the ravens are over there you see at. the white tail the eagle is an apex predator at the top of its food chain

it is fish and other fish eating them. pets now live here that's great news for conservationists. another valuable feature of cars and vans other wide expanses of open terrain. there aren't many such areas left 7000 did crazy and that may prevent any forest from emerging but this kind of landscape is home to animals and birds that don't thrive among trees. such as. this can be a noisy place but the animals don't mind says who but on top of germany's federal forests administration. we hear shooting in the background all the time we might find it unpleasant to ask the animals but our observations suggest they don't react

to the noise he's we see no evidence that they do we often see a deer near our right on the shooting ranges on land where shells could land and they just don't flinch when it gets really loud we see the same with the eagles neither the shooting nor the drones bother them with drones motors amid a very unpleasant high pitched sound. was. you know belly toads like this one also seem relaxed they spawn in the deep tracks in the mud made by all the heavy vehicles. when the babies grow up they'll spend the rest of their lives on land. was we've seen is this is pretty much. eldorado for amphibians creatures that need both water and land. they need some lots of places to live in water meadows along the rivers

steamin until the rivers are straight out now their habitats are mainly in military training areas quarries and order. but what about the spent munition lying around that contains traces of heavy metals the us army garrison environmental division checks for pollution across the base stefan hassel is one of its employees on the i was vehicle man these are many times that extend it is a system in place to monitor the impact of munition residues on the train. it was developed in cooperation with the bavarian authorities samples are regularly taken from streams underground water across the training area in the on the writers there analyzed and the results go to the district administration of the state water authority. on the reason to get you see so be they evaluate the findings and take action if required. before humans intervened much of europe

was covered in trees. forest fires were common phenomena. it was quite normal a lightning strike or during a hot summer would my catch fire. now a days firefighters rushed to the scene and put it all out but here if a shell hits and trees go up in flames nobody comes and extinguishes the fire straight away. that's often not possible. so we have extensive forest fires just as they would occur in a natural landscape. you're going schmidle is a well it just an expert on beatles in the traps he set up he's found species that actually need trees to burn in order to survive. elsewhere they are rare.

it seems that the military doesn't have to be the enemy of nature. and virt is the largest us training area outside the united states and also a treasure trove of nature. 'd in this week's global idea as we look at a problem well known to city dwellers around the world the seemingly endless traffic of rush hour. in colombia's capital budgets people are finding creative ways out of the jams a boon for both residents and the planet. well good time is a big dirty and noisy city air pollution kills about 2000 people here every year the air quality in the colombian capital is often so bad that environmental state of emergency has to be declared. greenhouse gas emissions linked to the transporting of goods by road contribute significantly to the problem but that is

sent to change. in part thanks to people such as daniel sanchez he used to be part of the problem now he's part of the solution a pioneer of change on the streets of bogota. i used to drive a truck there were always 2 of us. everything took a long time because the proper job was on having to look for a place to park. it was retiring. now he drives an electric delivery try cicle this is the cross docking station at the edge of the city center goods are transferred here from large trucks to the small eco friendly pickles for delivery into downtown. the project was launched by the municipality since last year the green alliance has headed the city government for the 1st time. what

a comedy this young boy says that i thought that was also the most transport is responsible for about 79 percent up articulate emissions here but i seriously doubt it and 39 percent of that amount results from transporting goods by road. by switching to these new vehicles we can cut emissions by 16 metric tons a day when it so the impact will be huge. then this. the world bank has made $300000.00 available to the project. it's still early days. during the current pilot phase the fleet of small connector delivery vehicles numbers just 15. they're the work of a startup in marrying. but the model of design for that city needs to be adapted to conditions in bogota. logistics are very different from. retailers aren't concentrated in one district

distances covered are much larger that so the wear and tear on the electric components is greater. out of the need to innovate and start working on improving the mosher and the battery so we can provide the companies in the project but an efficient solution to. the lola cargo try sickles can carry one cubic meter of goods that's about 18th the volume of a standard delivery truck daniel sanchez's destinations today are small shops and pharmacies. he works on commission so for him time is money and he zips from one customer to the next. he maneuvers his electric bike through traffic jams. he's glad to be rid of his truck. on it but i love my own traffic it's just the best thing. i can go bike lanes and sidewalks anywhere and i can take shortcuts when. i can get to any point really fast the

moment it's much better than before. not being stuck in traffic not having to look for a parking place makes delivering goods more efficient. several companies have signed up to the project they not only want to cut their harmful emissions but also sink time and money doing so the. new train is a major manufacturer of processed and convenience foods it's an ideal candidate for taking part in the pilot phase of the project in colombia most of its products are sold in small corner shops and by street vendors. if the lot or. the pilot phase has been running for just one month but the results are already very significant and very positive i think 6 other companies in the city have also joined the project and i hope many more will to be. using sustainable methods of

transport has many advantages. for people's quality of life the environment and the development of urban logistics. it's too soon to evaluate the pilot project as a whole but duncan sanchez for one hopes it will prove a success and set a precedent he says his work days are 3rd shorter now and his earnings higher he also enjoys the attention passers by are fascinated. by. what i learned the real emotion about people ask me is that your bike. and i say sadly no it's not. charity they find it really cool and think it's a good idea no exhaust nothing that harms the environment. if you are promoting change because. he still takes the bus home but he's saving up to

buy a good bike and then he will contribute even more to the greening of bogo time. that's all from us at global 3000 this week thanks for joining us and do send us your thoughts on the program right see you global 3000 at d. w. dot com and visit our facebook page to d.w. global ideas see you next week take cabs.

the 77 percent. now look. on d w. this is the w. news live from berlin a race against time as emergency covered 9000 medical supplies arrive in india oxygen and ventilators are needed to talk over carter's hospitals or new patients are being turned away also coming up. the u.k. prime minister insists he did not make insensitive comments about covered 9000 victims but boris johnson's denials are falling on deaf ears. and in football

while minix look to their top rival to lead the team to rb drives the coach if you're not the plan will move to munich next week and with a multi-million euro price tag. on the head of a homage welcome to the program the 1st foreign aid supplies are arriving in india as a battle another wave of covert 1000 and factions ventilators and oxygen were flown in from the u.k. and germany says it will send medical equipment in the coming days india has reported more than 300000 new cases for a 6 day and more than 2000 registered deaths hospitals are struggling to cope and turning patients away as authorities scramble to get equipment to those who needed most. in some indian hospitals the oxygen supply has run out.

people who might have survived the disease are dying as a result. there is no oxygen in all of town. my mother was admitted 3 days ago i was told she was fine and recovery all the tests were done then last night they said they didn't have any more oxygen she passed away. hospital's an i.c.u. units across the country are overwhelmed after weeks of a sharp rise in cases the health care system is collapsing. oxygen has become the most precious of commodities. are buying or 2 that are good at award. you're order of the pitcher who come to that level. they are lowering the oxygen level one. but it needs to be higher. so this is

a problem. with oxygen and hospital beds running out the government is scrambling to get equipment to the areas that are hardest hit. we have compressed oxygen that's moving across the country using the country's 3 bases to get it to the places that need it the most emergency supplies from the u.k. have begun arriving and more help as promised from abroad to get seated after the final details have been clarified with the indian side the 1st shipment should be on its way in the next few days. but in the meantime many indians are left to fend for themselves. doing all they can to care for loved ones some dry for hours in search of oxygen. but i'm not i have come from very far to collect oxygen from my father. that i'm scared that although the oxygen is available today

what will we do for it's not available tomorrow. but until help arrives on a larger scale many people in india are left gasping for air. well you know we spoke to dr krishna kumar director of the ji in avesta global health innovation center in dar north carolina he explains what's gone wrong with india's health care system. we should remember that the indian health system is under-resourced to begin with that there's about 4 per cent of g.d.p. that's spent on a central health services and health expenditures while the global average is closer to 10 percent so there's not a lot of capacity to start with and what we saw after the wave in the fall were really several months that should have been time for preparation and in fact were wasted as a time of complacency of indifference and we saw very large religious gatherings go

forward we thought election rallies being held that turned into super spreader events so this was really a task for a fee in the making that could have been avoided right now people are dying because they can't access the basics whether it's medical oxygen or a hospital bed so the ability to ramp up. immediately is really critical to save lives today and tomorrow so the more supplies that we can and the more capacity that we can help to support is what the world needs to be doing at the same time the way we're going to turn the corner over the several weeks from now is really to make sure we're reducing the infection rate and taking real public health measures to try to bring down. the amazing spike that we've been that we've seen in cases over the last several we let's talk about the stories making headlines around the world thousands of people have been protesting and tag again

this week council that tough power off to the death of president idriss debbie and the 3 people killed the transitional justice by step son has promised an inclusive national dialogue protest and according for overtime to civilian rule. somalia's president of the body for marjoe has dropped a bit to extend his term in office by another 2 years he made the announcement after 2 key states rejected the extension earlier from effort to prolong his term sparked clashes between rival political factions in the security forces in the capital mogadishu. around 200 migrants have been rescued in the mediterranean by the ocean viking rescue ship they were found on overcrowded boats off the coast of libya where the vessel picked up distress calls calling this is according to the age group s o west it is hurry. chile's president sebastian pinera has signed

a law allowing people to withdraw up to 10 percent of their privately held pension funds it's the 3rd time chile has approved such a measure to ease hardship caused by the pandemic earlier the congress passed the bill by a large majority. ukip are mr burrage johnson is under pressure as he heads into regional elections offer a series of damaging links these include media reports that he said he'd rather seen bodies piled up in their thousands than order a lockdown he denies the reports and says his office is investigating the source of the leaks it follows allegations of corruption made by his former chief advisor who claims johnson off the conservative party donors to pay for the refer basement just flat in downing street. well the doublings bergen has more from london on how the leaks could damage the u.k. prime minister for a lot of people these remarks alleged remarks by the prime minister would have been

in bed taste but there is is really there are many a good accusations against prime minister burrs johnson that he has acted in a nontransparent way when it comes for example to the refurbishment office flat so he's former closest ally really the his advisor dominic cummings who was the mastermind behind the break said campaign and really it's also the reason that johnson is even prime minister he was such a close and trusted aide he has now turned against the prime minister and said that he has possibly acted illegally but also on ethically in accepting. donations for his refurbishment of the flat in downing street that is what he alleges now the government says that everything will be paid back but of course the opposition is see them on this and are saying that everything needs to be much more

transparent but there were other allegations for example that the former prime minister david cameron has low bid on behalf of financial company and that that was improper and also that business people have had axes to prime minister boris johnson so so it really is larry of allegations and it really doesn't look good for the prime minister at the moment. you know even though makers have votes on a post brags that trade agreement between the european union and the u.k. now even though many are dissatisfied with the deal is expected to get the green light on wednesday when the results are announced the vote was delayed because london has yet to fully implement customs checks in northern ireland one of the most contentious issues of the divorce it's the new normal one form after the other after the other after the other all too often a confused glance and all they transporting are eggs. this company delivers

groceries to northern ireland supermarkets most of the meat and vegetables come from within the united kingdom but they still need customs documentation. whenever you look at the amount of paperwork that's associated. with your. documentation there's a problem one of those $3400.00 lengths truckstop custom checks between britain and northern ireland are an unfortunate result of bragg's it but so far full customs checks have not been applied jus to a transition period in place. market a lot of what's called from chibi to northern ireland simply wouldn't have got here we were seeing empty shelves and that would have brought all sorts of problems within the province with the worst still to come the british government unilaterally extended the transition period for traders until the end of summer

without consulting brussels and against the wishes of the e.u. . if the e.u. is going to be very very dogmatic and you can't bring british sausages into. then frankly i'm going to have to take further steps but the rules on the northern ireland issue are binding the e.u. has already taken legal steps many in the european parliament are skeptical of the british government especially the center right conservative block they voice their mistrust ahead of tuesday's vote. in d.c. the northern ireland a practical implementation and how johnson behaves the message is i don't care i don't care even about my signature european commission president on the line called on lawmakers to ratify the post break the trade deal but at the same time hinted at possible sanctions and let me be very clear we do not want to have to use these

tools but we will not hesitate to use them if necessary. many lawmakers were reluctant to ratify the deal but reluctance to compromise on both sides does not help those delivering goods to northern ireland the paperwork is only said to get worse they're hoping to see a little more cooperation to help find solutions which will work for the future of northern ireland now and been this the good news buying it has high end are 6 european novels meant to be the new coach next season i believe he represents a new generation of coaches signing the 33 year olds to a 5 year deal. you leonardo's mom became the youngest coach in bundesliga history when he took over at hoffenheim in 2016 the coaching prodigy helped them qualify for the champions league for the 1st time ever. since 2019 he's been in rb

leipsic the bulls have been title contenders every season not lose money has been at the helm in last season he lived life to the champions league semifinals in a historic run not goals months sides have always made it difficult for byron munich that if any champions were forced to find a new coach after hockey flick announced he'd be departing at the end of the season . ok this is especially for other clubs i wouldn't even get this contract and it cost buyer a reported $25000000.00 euros to get novels money out of his rb life the contract early if that's the case that would make novels man the most expensive coach in the sport's history. i find a decision very good i believe it's the right direction for byron munich to go in because it bothers me a bit that flick resigned but not this month there's a younger option i think is the right step. now goes money grew up near

munich and has always made it public that he's dreamt of coaching byron $1.00 day and now the 33 year old will start living his dream on july 1st when he officially takes over and by and in the 4 years premier league side chelsea drew with real madrid in the 1st semifinal match in spain chelsea struck only 3 christian pulis jets but by the hof the score was level at 11 thanks to reality cut in benzema their next match is on may 5th at stamford bridge in england. now some spectacular images of all the phenomenon that last for several days last night superman adding a little extra to the skylines of the world's great cities here it is a new way to rome istanbul and london when the full moon a cuz you're in the mood closest approach to a superman and then appears larger and is more visible and if you've missed this
