swimmers, the kind of city views you'd only get on a postcard, as long as you can hold your breath, and if you are lucky enough to live at the right address, only residence of the luxury high rise developments are allowed to use it. you're watching the w news. that's it for me. i'm all me. and if you next time, ah, the fight against the corona virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection in developing? what does the latest research say information and contact the corona virus, not because the 19 special next on dw hello guys. this is the 77 percent. the platform issues share idea. you know, these channels,

we are not afraid to have some young people clearly have the solution, the future 77 percent. now every weekend on b, w efficiently, me and my says there are only a few dozen new infections a day. that's death and say that can't be true. there's hardly any testing going on . there are reports about lack of stop in testing centers. hospitals have the same problem with doctors and nurses joining strikes against the military, which these power 4 months ago. they've been attacks on health care workers. me, as schools reopen,

some teachers and students are also making a stand defying the winters calls for full classrooms, which would only help the virus spread. hundreds of thousands of people across me and my i've been calling for an end to the military tank over the country is in turmoil. and the health care system is one of the most effective sectors don't do the nurses with the 1st to go on strike thousands refusing to work under a military base team. but that also poses a problem for koby patients. my on bazillion is head of mission for doctors without borders in be in my and joined us from young. go and tell us about the difficulties of your work. first of all, i mean you're trying to save lives at the same time as putting your own lives at risk. oh yeah, that that's true and that's being part of i guess at the moment

our lives is not very high and she to asian for the people in the march. very fear for the actual international stuff with them. it's not a dish. ringback for our. 7 national stuff, the challenging periods, not only asking them to, to do more than we usually do, we are up scaling our activities due to the increase needs at the same time. they're facing psychological stress from, from what is going on in their own country. so yes, for our, our stuff, our national stuff here in the office around 11 people, which is a very testing testing time they're doing to, to bring the services we want to bring in these times and the missing a breakdown of the health system here and,

and i guess the psychological impact also has a political angle to it. the w h o is talking about $179.00, a tax on medical staff and facilities since the military took over also 13 deaths, dozens of arrests. i mean, how do you go about reaching the people when the health professionals are being attacked? yes. specifically the health incident. how workers are cdn, showed a civil disobedience rules are targeted. these are health workers working for the public sector. you still have the health workers working for private sector over charity sector like this. so our doctors are continue their work. they're not striking. and therefore their national target directly. but you can

see the fear among our stuff as well. and that's basically from coming to the office having to police checks potentially being searched. there is definitely a fear. we're not directly to talk of because we're not working in the public health. thanks for joining the civil disobedience movement. do you national stuff? it's definitely very aware and very young. can you tell us just how dire the situation is with covert all or how bad the numbers are? i believe the daughter isn't reliable the days i don't know. i also, after the military take for the, basically the country stopped at testing there, the whole facility, the section nation program came to stand still. there are

a few 100 tests today, but there's nothing to compare to before the military girls were, which means we don't have reliable data on it also means that we are in besides the whole prevention that day testing tracing. fractionation. there's also a lot of things happening in the country that are messed instructions. the whole banking system is just collecting for cures for atm. she'd like reading and the region are writing. and so we are reading over grades outbreak in our system at the, at the current status. let's get another view from georgina phillips and emergency physician in australia who's trained doctors and nurses in the law. and his

published a corpus holiday party in the lancet. some of the authors of that letter had fled the country or in hiding or have been detained. i sto gina though about the consequences of the qu for the people of me and not. so the government health system has essentially collapsed as a result of the civil disobedience movement and the targeting health care workers. so therefore, everyday health care systems not available for the people and people suffering from covered. for example, neither getting tasted nor able to access emergency care. the consequence for health care workers is intimidation and arrest all or flaying the country. and so it's a health system in collapse and during the private panoramic. now we can anticipate that there is a search happening in may and mother bordering countries. are going through

a serge mortality, mobility morbidity statistics, and not a viable. we don't know tasting, it's not available. we don't know how many people are positive and people are frightened to go to healthcare services. they might not be targeted. the health care services are extremely limited. there's charity clinics, there's private clinics, but they are limited in what they can provide for people. and therefore, we anticipate that people are suffering not only worsting of their normal health condition, but quite likely suffering from the escalation and search of the kinds of and naming. this wasn't always the way it was, georgina you mentioned before, the qu that health facilities, we're in good shape. that's true. so prior to the coup the codes and respond to me in my old quite right bust my colleagues in the emergency care systems in emergency medicine relating the clinical response. the government hospitals had

quite strong tasting screening, korea, and critical care responses. there was a system for treatment, escalation of treatment transfer, covered positive patients. there was a robust, public health response people, of course, for a public health response. you need people to be trusting in, in the ministry of health and government systems. and that was happening. there was contact tracing and the vaccination vaccination program was rolling out the military cur. the 1st of february has a book called a halt to all of those activities. and most of those things are no longer progressing. the doctor i spoke to before said me and i wouldn't be able to handle it that way. what, what is coming there? why do you think? i think it's quite likely that there is a 3rd wave happening in me in my, at the moment that there is no available reliable. i think you can anticipate that

that is, that is happening given the neighboring countries, the situation of the neighboring countries. and i do think that me and my will not be able to handle the search. the government hospitals are bailey functioning. government health workers are very limited to the workforce is severely restricted and the charity clinics and the private hospitals are not able to provide a service. and the people i'm most reluctant to attend to the military hospitals. so in terms of accessing acute care covered people with acute infection and serious symptoms that will be severely diminished in terms of contact pricing and the public health response. that's that's minimal. and the vaccination program, i think, is also severely restricted. time for derek williams and your questions on the corona virus call it some people can still

get the virus even after being vaccinated if heard immunity, even possible. questions like this, or why many scientists don't like the term heard immunity because they feel the word immunity implies a point where the pandemic suddenly stops. a lot of them prefer the term heard protection because vaccine drives don't make every one in a population magically immune when enough people have had shot. they just, they just help protect people who are still vulnerable and protection implies ongoing vigilance, which is what pretty much all the experts say we're going to need going forward. and there are a few reasons why heard protection will be very difficult to achieve. not least that as you say, a few people still contract the disease even after full vaccination and can

presumably pass it on to others. this phenomenon is called vaccine failure and the person that happens to is known as a breakthrough case. but data from the end of april, from the u. s. has confirmed something that had been reported from israel, which is that breakthrough cases, at least so far look exceedingly rare. that could of course, change as more time passes. but right now the data look great. it's a sign that her protection might not be an achievable at least in some local or regional or, or even maybe national contexts. but even if the transmission is brought largely under control, in some places, a few experts believe, sorry, covey too is just going to go away because to wipe out the virus, we'd have to hit vaccination goals globally, which will take years. and in the meantime,

immunity could begin to wayne and those who were already vaccinated or the virus could still mutate them ways that would make her protection even harder to achieve me. thanks for watching. see, you again say, ah ah, how can we make fish farming effective and ecological to launch a printer from gonna don't read fish. want to plan plants from nature. here algy are turned into organic fertilizer and aquaculture into a sustainable ecosystem. eco africa on dw a luxury vacation with mac protection.

welcome to last camera on the playground of the street on the pacific coast of mexico. but behind the exclusive facade, a brutal wall of the drug cartel, and basic pharmacy prevailed. son, son, i'm the in 45 minutes on d, w o. the we do want to see them. what they are, their street, our water, our here. open your eyes to the unseen. that were new global 3000 series. about the threats you're facing. the

heroes taking a span to stop by and the global 3000 series starts june 21st on d, w me the the painting on where you leave the world can feel crowded at times, even out in nature. but in some cases, just a little careful planning and coordination can make a big difference in quality of life. for all creatures, both big and small. welcome to visitation of africa. i'm chris alone, illegals nigeria high the grease out. nice to see you again. i am sandra 2 of you

here in compiler, uganda and yes, today will be looking out a couple of ways to get low from lace. he's a quick look out what is good for you install on the program. we will see how core points can be used to produce energy as well as the delicious lung. how forming our gate, our fish together help produce better 3 and visit other centers that adjusting to changes in mobility. did you know that of fresh water mixed up less than 3 percent of us water supply, but at almost half of all fish leave in fresh water lakes, rivers, bones on woodlands. some people think what to little attention is paid to these fishes to the detriment or fish diversity of us report, texas to south africa. well, walk on the way to raise awareness on behalf of local water dwellers

the on a mission with a weight seed and an underwater camera. marine biologist, jeremy shelton from cape town, wants to bring people closer to the fascinating world of freshwater fish and wound them of the risk of losing all this. i'm passionate about bringing some of these amazing creatures and these amazing stories that i see unfolding underwater. up into the public eye, the cat lies and interest and why their friends light up red, or why they get these little bumps on that's not to spock. a curiosity within south africa, the public about the ecosystems that have remained pretty hidden until recently south africa, the cape region is home to many species of freshwater fish, half of which are found nowhere else. but the presence of predatory invasive

species like bath and trout, as well as the use of river walker irrigation purposes, had placed in many strain on these ecosystems. and the creatures which call them home globally, freshwater fish have become one of the most threatened groups of animals on the planet. a group of organisms that are becoming more and more scarce foster than just about any other on earth. and here in south africa, the situation is no different. according to a recent report at the 3rd of all, freshwater fish globally are threatened with extinction. the aim so use of cape nature are trying to save species in the west and pay their task is to preserve biodiversity throughout the province. they collect and analyze data as well as work with local landowners. however, fresh water environments prevent

a unique conservation challenge. protecting patient placing rivers is so difficult cuz that they're the long, long as you know systems and they've always upstream and downstream. and it's not like a terrestrial conservation where you can put up a game things and say, you know, the species you want stays on this side of the things in the once we don't say on that side. and the information collected by k nature and other organizations has not been collated in any way. now the team of jeremy shelton's fresh water research center hopes to improve access to this vital data by a single platform. in bringing in data collected by a range of different organizations from across south africa and making those data accessible for decision making for conservation planning. with the end goal of beta, conserving a fresh. what about every city and ecosystems? but for that to happen, it's necessary to raise awareness of the problem in a small urban park in cape town,

facilitators from the fresh water research center showing students how to run a basic scientific health tech on the river here. and it's not just about the face. the project is teaching young people to gauge with his health by looking for other indicators. species such as dragon flies and ketter's flies. when i'm going to take the ideas to show them just how interconnected this species are in this ecosystem generation as a generation that's going to have to be in this world right now. so we have to understand how this stuff works and we have to understand how we can fix it and how we can. i think it's doing these kind of things make you realize how important it is and realize how important it is for your mental health and how much you love it . and it just gives you more dr. to task isn't going to get any easier in the future. in addition to all the other threats, global warming could also endanger these ecosystems and lead to the extinction of species before the end of the century. so where we're actually sitting right now

is one of the last lowland rivers in this part of the world that still has healthy, fresh water, fish population that still has enough clean water in summer to support these fish and its places like that i think are so important because they can remind us what a healthy river looks like, and they can inspire us to promote healthy rivers here in south africa. and throughout the world. as a semi arid country, it is essential for africa to conserve as fresh water ecosystem. and the unique species within them all, chris's indeed could squeeze in order to thrive. no, just under water, bottom line too. but suddenly humans often how be own ideas about what constitutes profile on tooth futures. sandra, we're about to see an example of that in kenya. but after what seems like decades

of commerce, of what kinds of vision could it be that the tables are turning elephant traversing humana sanctuary. crucial wildlife corridor close to amble. silly national park. this land is communally owned by local messiah rising in the distance mound, killing men, gero africa, the highest p. someone, county family has lived here for generations. he and many of them, a sized support, a local transportation program. they lead feel end to the program. so the elephants can safely follow their establish routes as hers, the messiah benefit, by maintaining access the large areas of grazing land for their cattle. but last year, some months i sold their plots to an agri business, specializing in abil cato cultivation. one was jeremiah lush. it's

our right to new one, the one on instead of listening this agricultural land to construction of people because of the, i think been how can the money, the possible echoes of land and why you are going to be paid and printed out. and you have a funding, i want to go to the head of another, nist whom i miss you need. so if you do agriculture, you can make a lot of money. but i, because farming requires a huge amount of water. critics, one, it could upset the balance of the local ecosystem and deprived them aside, the livestock and wildlife of the water. they will lion mortified us with a crop farming, only benefit a few people. it will only benefit which companies like with and why that are worth billions and they can afford to purchase a car to be worth $20000000.00 kenyans. shuttling unlike them, a sigh. who can bailey afford? a ball hole which kenya's environmental agency has since intervened and pulled the

agree businesses license. and while the company has challenge the decision, conser of faith such cultivation could be devastating. danger of having this is that we have a place. but there's another family i can come up with. and the woman, the colleague who's crossed, who just count electronics, to say that i'm most welcome and it can but it may never come to that the company's low speed has been rejected relief for the conservation of this whole and the hosting that is very ministry. sure. and most importantly, this is a will be fine national, one left. not the same way. people buttons like up to the course elephant be fine. do you move from that you lose columbus hailey to do my national buck put it

in there and we have a few. a few investors who didn't was willing quoted in not standing. and we have potentially the ruling protects not only the future of the elephant and the most by hers. it also proves that active conservation programs can both stand up to and win against economic interests. now that certainly encouraging and not just for the elephants, there are plenty of people will also team to keep pop with open and fluid in cities to the believe about mobility could be more efficient, more sustainable, and certainly held. the next report comes from the german capital berlin. their vehicles may vary in form and color, but these multi wheels demonstrators in berlin have a common goal. they're calling for more car free cycling routes,

more pedestrian zones, and generally fewer cars in the city. it's been said and i think there's enough infrastructure for motorized transport via and that's what we need is to make more provision for cycling. we need to fight for a greener berlin. you know, the liberal in government has adopted some new transport policies in recent years, adding cycle lanes and converting some streets into bike and pedestrian zones. c with some activists say, it's not enough to improve the quality of air and life. they organized a petition to allow berliners themselves to decide the future of city center traffic in a referendum. you can see all the 10s of thousands of people who live here could have seen development shiana history. in addition to things being much quieter and greener with more. it would also be

a public space that people could use and not jammed full of harness which the dentist stayed with them. in many parts of the world, urban centers are already being transformed. the increase in online shopping in recent years has led to a drop in business for many retail stores, a trend exacerbated by the pandemic, a lot of commercial space and parking lot now stand empty. that's prompted architect to reimagine urban planning and mobility. i cited most of those lines. it's important to kates, isabelle, living and working in the city some get done. that's the only way to reduce the amount of commuter traffic and in pen effect. this former to hartman store in the center of one german city was converted into an apartment building with shops comprising a pedestrian friendly zone and in berlin. this building was

likewise designed for people who don't use cars. it has shops, studios for artists, apartments, and offices to all designed for living and working under one roof. passers by can see inside flower beds are also an intentional feature. cities lie copenhagen have shown it's possible to exclude cars from city centers, reserving them for pedestrians and cyclists. only in the times. square portion of new york's broadway has been converted into a traffic free zone with st cafes designed by danish city planners. the and paris wants to plant hundreds of trees on the shore and around the octave homes while also taming traffic. there's still a long way to go for berlin, but activists there do have some clear goals. what we want to do is we want to

create the world's largest auto reduced area in the world. so that's 85 square kilometers. and really it's about asking people what they want to do. environmentalists are also fighting plans for a highway running through the city to be extended because that would take the city a step backwards rather than forwards. thinking about a cos. sharon was held off a step in the right direction when it was 1st introduced on the largest scale. not so very long ago. now a group of people in another german city have picked up the idea taken each to one, even more eco friendly level. here is this weeks doing your bits shield 2 emissions from cars are one of the major drivers of climate change. so

finding alternative means of transport is vital for our planning. people from the german initiative transition town by doing just that the provide cargo bikes to anyone, free of charge. most of the bikes work with them, like motor people reserve, the bikes, an online platform, and can pick them up at 6 different locations. and kind of for me, it's a small way to help combat climate change to have an alternative to buses, trains, and cars. people always talk about how hard it is to do something for the climate. but with this project it's actually really easy because people use the cargo bikes instead of cars when they go shopping or need to transport larger items. the members of the initiative are all volunteers. and the bikes are mainly funded through donations. the 3 wheelers are now much seen and love.
