wow. welcome to global 3006. heavy traffic polluted air soon a thing of the past in the colombian capital of book a talk. from temples to brussels and an age old tradition forces indian women into sex work. but 1st how life is being nurtured near japan's former nuclear reactor in fukushima. in many countries nuclear

power is still seen as a safe cheap source of energy currently 443 nuclear reactors produce energy worldwide more than 100 nuclear power stations are under construction or in planning yet there's still no real solution for nuclear waste it needs to be stored safely for up to a 1000000 years. since nuclear energy began being used peacefully in the 1950 s. there have been at least 12 major incidents worldwide 2 of them were catastrophic chernobyl in ukraine in 1986 and fukushima in japan in 2011 both involved coal melted accidents where reactors exploded and contaminating vast areas of. both places still bad deep scars local towns the ghostlike. life seemingly goes

on a stone's throw from the fukushima nuclear power plant cattle here in or cooma have been through hell now the plan is to turn it into a paradise that's such a key tourney's wish her animals are one big family money can be here because here's my money as a calf she was totally emaciated she was the 2nd born but when you hear you can see the 1st 3rd 4th and 5th born after her either died of starvation or something else happened. i think that with that. only a handful of cows live on the phone the plan is for them to grow old in a piece here or meat from the exclusion zone where almost no humans live. 3 of the cows survived the initial disaster fleeing to the hills where they nearly starved to death only to be reunited years later at the farm so it's

a pita built for. them and they immediately started moving and getting close enough to lick each other as if to say you survived. that. sets of kitani came from tokyo to help her work keeping the cows alive is financed through donations the animals and the desolate region with its invisible radiation generate neither jobs no profit so it's a kitani says the cows are doing well but people are only allowed into the exclusion zone for an hour at a time. ahmed ahmed today i don't really think of myself 1st since i'm not really afraid it's been that way for a while i precisely calculate my own radiation dose right here fast there. is a ghost town before the disaster more than 10000 people lived here today it's less than 300. most people who returned to their homes are elderly. she gave his

sato is different he's one of a humorous few newcomers and in his mid thirty's to him moving here was a wild adventure he is honest and blunt saying what most preferred to keep to themselves. that they shouldn't try to lure people with so much taxpayer money and just for the hell of it so what what's the point all with your work with people. she gave his son to doesn't see people outside the gym he attends he does all his shopping online he thinks whoever comes here is food. he also says that building large greenhouses to grow strawberries was stupid regardless of the cost. but seltzer feels like an explorer and if utility of the place appeals to him that's how he ended up at the strawberry farm even if he thinks it's senseless. but . there was nothing here before it took an effort to make all this whoever built

this is a fool or the one with this or not at all. the radiation is measured the strawberries are safe to eat but selling them outside the region is difficult as the area's reputation is also contaminated. there's no hiding what happened here rows and rows of bags storing contaminated radioactive material. before leaving the exclusion zone satsuki tunnies radiation must be measured. residents here will live this way for decades to come but. still turney defies the naysayers who dismiss her as the crazy cow lady of. the sun or yourself there are a few truths about me. i'm a newcomer i'm young foolish and i'm a woman. and i have no farming experience what you're giving then somebody can be

a better. but being somewhat naive may help as breaking the mold can be difficult in japan a young woman from a far makes even more of an impact. history must not be forgotten so to kitani is writing a children's book and is now going over the final details with her co-author. she tells the story of her cows of a calf without a mother with a quote that you can't even in the so hopeless destitute place there are living beings that survived after all these counts right the sickly miracles to kick you know that's an international. miracles a stone's throw from a nuclear power plant it's house it's a kitani dreamed it would be. life continuing even if it may never be the same as it once world's.

prostitution is a global phenomenon if banned in a country. it simply goes underground if it's permitted his just more visible it's hard to know how many sex workers there are worldwide estimates range between $30000000.40 sex work usually takes place on the edge of the law the united nations says more than half of all global human trafficking is related to it many women and girls allege into sexual slavery with false promises of a better life. this is the red light district of sangli in southwestern india sex workers here have up to 60 customers a night. in this region an old hindu religious practice is still widespread the devil system. young girls are offered in marriage to a daisy and then a servants are forced to offer sexual services. even on what i do is wrong

but i don't have a choice. every morning shabnam paints a rangoli in front of her premises. supposed to bring wealth and good fortune. she spends much of her time in the 7 square metres she's been a sex worker here since she was a teenager. that if i left the system we would start of this i have to continue to seek loans i don't have any education and so the most i could earn in a regular job would be about one euro a day. how could we get by on that it's nothing. shabnam doesn't know how old she is about 30 she says she has 2 daughters but doesn't know who their fathers are. and a room. shabnam doesn't remember when she became a devotee the system was outlawed 36 years ago but the bomb is not enforced i'm told about 300 and sadly we are going to have

a diocese used to perform important religious tasks and temples and enjoyed a high social status nowadays it's very different it almost always means a life of prostitution at the margins of society it. the last remnant of the system's former meaning a small shrine. the temple where shabnam was inducted as far away as are her parents she still supports them with a large part of her meager earnings it's a cruel system that oppresses women shop radha tells me about as she's a devil as well as a temple priest knowing that. when we started to say to you we came here and ended up as prostitutes we've never liked having sex with clients but at least our parents are doing well and have something to eat by then and then when. shabnam listens closely talks about her life and their family. how do you feel when you

hear her saying all that. it makes me sad i'm in the same situation. shut naaman are i'm still support their families even though it was they who are to blame for their plight. shop now ms determined to see to it that her daughters will one day lead a better life. at midday she goes home to cook lunch for her children she lets me come along. i'm surprised to find a mom there. my mum. what's what's her name. your name or what you write you're ok and then all of a. raw jewish up in arms boyfriend they've been together for a year he was one of her clients now he wants her to stop being a sex worker. she should get out of the devil system i want

her to i can earn the money and look after her. she can run the household and i'll do the rest if she's happy i'm happy so let's go let a look at you know. shabnam does not share roger's vision of their future together as a happy family. i love whatever. it's all well and good that he wants me to give up prostitution and being a devotee. but he will look after my mother or ensure the future of my children how much money could he say even give them. 20 euros a month won't be enough if i'm to marry off my daughters. one positive aspect of their lives is the school which shabnam on her daughters all attend school for sex workers and their families. it was set up a few years ago by deepak chopra and our colleague. they teach reading and writing

to adults and children several times a week for free yet. the women here may have been betrayed by their parents but they clearly want their children to lead happier and more fulfilled lives. then. the sex workers have spent their entire lives here we want to change that for their sons and daughters. they should be successful and when they're big be able to look after their mothers. that's what sapna is determined to do she also has her future mapped out. that. i want to be a doctor when i grow up. but for now life remains tough and brutal many women start work as the sun goes down in the red light district. if you can get somebody you have an opportunity to film here at

night that we're going to hide our camera so the customers don't see it let's see what happens on my bus that i was on. about $5000.00 men come here each day the price of sex is to euro's $50.00 that's a lot more than the women could aren't in another job as a result they're left trapped in sex work. we humans take up a lot of space on our planet filling it with industrial areas highways houses shopping malls each year in germany alone an area the size of almost 80 football fields is turned into construction sites for housing and transport modern farming to with its monoculture has dominates rural areas truly wild areas are ever read yet desperately important for plants and animals.

pristine nature wide open spaces and. heavy artillery. this area engulfing vera was a very unliterary training area more than a century ago now it's run by the u.s. army it covers almost 230 square kilometers. the terrain is a kind of noah's ark living alongside 12000 soldiers all representatives of 3000 species of animal and plant more than 800 of them are endangered. it's an act that mentioned humans practiced killing in the training grounds leave while for nature this is pure life it sounds paradoxical. but all the areas in between are just pulsating would like because here nobody is fighting nature and getting the not to the can feel. good

a life of the works for the very nature conservation organization when new buildings are planned he's often called in to identify bird species at potential risk. so let's isn't the eye and signals and launch of military training areas are 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 it's feared not to leak and they kill off most of the small organisms. wild meadow flowers and insects but these are only up get treated. lytle spot something. look quite a legal it's got some printed by the ravens are over there you see it. the white tailed eagle is an apex predator at the top of its food chain it eats fish and other fish eating them. pets now live here that's great news for

conservationists. another valuable feature of carson villa other wide expanse of open terrain. there aren't many such areas left $7000.00 did race in that maybe event any forest from emerging but this kind of landscape is home to animals and birds that don't thrive among trees. such as sky. this can be a noisy place but the animals don't mind says who but antonio of germany's federal forest administration. we hear shooting in the background all the time we might find it unpleasant you can't ask the animals or observations suggest they don't react to the noise he's we see no evidence that they do we often see a deer near or right on the shooting ranges on land where shells could land and

they just don't flinch when it gets really loud you see the same with the eagles that neither the shooting nor the drones bother them with drones motors amid a very unpleasant high pitch sound. was. a. yellow 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 in. elderado for amphibians creatures that need both water and land. decent lots of places to live in water meadows along the rivers steamin until the rivers are straight out now the habitats are mainly in military training areas and quarries and we're going up our state 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 hatsell is one of its employees on the outs because man these are many to extend it is a system in place to monitor the impact of munition residues on the trains on them 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 there on lies and the results go to the district administration of the state water authority. on the reason so be they evaluate the findings and take action if required as. before humans intervened much of europe was covered in trees. forest fires were common

phenomena. it was quite normal and a lightning strike or during a hot summer would might catch far. 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 shmita is well it just an expert on besides 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.

in this week's blow bill 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 bogota people are finding creative ways out of the jams a boon for both residents and the planet's. oh 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 traffic was and having to look for a place to park. this last year was really trying out now he drives an electric delivery tries to go this is the cross docking station at the edge of the city center goods are transferred here from large trucks to the small he go from the. as 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 call is this young girls that are going to school so they must transport is responsible for about 79 percent of articulate emissions here. on target 9 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. and then there's. 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 electric delivery vehicles numbers just 15. they're the work of a start up in marrying. but the model of design for that city needs to be adapted to conditions in bogota. he says union with the logistics are very different from. retailers are concentrated in one district and my distance is covered are much larger that so the wear and tear on the electric components is greater. need to innovate and start working on improving the motor 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 dannielle 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. one of but i love my own traffic it's just the best thing. i can go bike lanes and sidewalks where 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. new trade 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. or mace 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 too. using sustainable methods of transport has many advantages. for people's quality of life the environment and the

development of open 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. but i learned the real emotion about the people ask me is that your bike. and i say sadly no it's not. a charity they find it really cool and think it's a good idea no exhaust nothing that harms the environment. feel i'm promoting change. 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
