the st. art is intended to reinforce the point in many parts of brazil, a speed limit of 30 kilometers an hour. his barely conceivable single point is to buys and i've always dreamed of a slow pace. 31 which allows pedestrians and cyclists to move about safely feels on the things that i saw timbo 30. that says enormously speed limit as a way to stream with the air will be monitored to find out what difference the new speed limit has an emissions levels. the volunteers you, sam, to cement and clay to create st furniture. it's the same technique that was used to build the great wall of china. simple, stable and and while getting locals involved in the planning stage. that was important to everyone

that if this various people took part in that discussion, mothers who use the space talked about their kids needs to paypal express, what they needed. it was very interesting because it was such a collaborative process about the new 30 kilometers own includes a bike path which links both the affluent area of santa teresa as well as more deprived surrounding areas with the rest of the city. today evelyn and her colleague are going on in inspection you look, the cars are already slowing down the scheme as part of a larger scale project called urban towns. ways. it's sponsored by an international climate protection initiative. it's a short stretch, but by forming a connection with one of the main cycle means in the city. it offers a viable alternative to driving. a car had only 5 phones you had

already been using this route on a daily basis, but it was very unsafe locker. this stretch of a divide that was really important to us was to bother you also. lisa, now i've been a cyclist myself for years. my children are 2 and now i have a grandson who is learning to write on creating a better city for us all 3 dual doesn't want to bicycles. they don't they don't resign. she is located in the south eastern state of nina, shed eyes and is one of the largest cities in brazil. traffic here is heavy. brazil was a country designed around cars, and that's one of the highest rates of road fatalities in the world. for years, authorities have been investing in public transport and cycle pads, but of the 400 kilometers of cycle means promised only a quarter of actually been built prompting frustration from cyclists. this isn't fibers aren't aware of what we need. the bikes are a viable mode of transport,

each principal. so that's why the creation of cycle passed is important to view that it's quite moving to discover a new cycle pass on to, you know, the transformation is almost complete. just a few finishing touches from the volunteers overall, it's a simple and highly cost effective initiative. ever lean in a team of volunteers are pleased with their work and hope their project can serve as a blueprint for others. so but i thought i'm really touched it, so i'm very thankful to everyone who helped create this is required. time is work day in and day out. it makes you feel like you swimming upstream together. we did it. i'm thank you very much. regardless my

the project has had a far reaching effect. not only has it reduced traffic and benefited the environment. it's also boosted social cohesion, all the more significant during a pandemic. local residents keep the area clean. for those who are involved in the conception of the project, it's especially rewarding to the children's wishes have really come to fruition. it was an interesting process and amazing to say how the whole thing became a reality right here in our neighbourhood. a lot of this is become a communal space more and more people coming here, which in turn makes the area safer. and that to brings more people here. it's a cycle focus there only a few areas in which a speed limit has been introduced. it's a fresh way of thinking about public space law school. i think the whole city to do with a re thing. i think evelyn has also brought her family alone to check out the

project. but i said i did. this is what i work for. so that kids can play safely on the street. we want people to be able to enjoy public space safely with us. but if this project may seem small, but it changes perceptions and culture, and that makes me really happy though you should be fairly. the success of this project in beta or result could form the basis of positive changes all over the city. and beyond. the 2 children's 2. 1 giant problem needed to be furious by jason. how will climate change affect us and our

children? learn more and d, w dot com slash water. plastic packaging is lightweight, cheap, and practical. according to the u. n. some $400000.00 tons of it produced every year. much of it is used just once before being tossed in the trash the pandemic, because only exacerbated the problem with disposable masks, gloves, and other medical waste, polluting the environment. we find out how people in gonna a tackling the issue. this leads to the east have gone as capital. a cry is drowning in plastic trash. richmond. quark co and his friends are collecting it. well aware that in a couple of weeks it'll be just as bad. again. we deserve more than dumpsite. this is our little pod, i prefer to keep it face and we believe that reflective action or responsibility

the want to move was authentic. the packaging solution. they've carried out over a 1000 sweets altogether in their battle against the global plastics to nami. they pick up everything from all the supermarket bags to fishing nets. now, even waste from the cove at 19 pandemic is washing ashore. yeah, but anyway, we can, we will find some medical phase, which of course came out on the outbreak of the fundamental news teams. the way it will be great for both reports is reasonable. my, to reduce this because i use my, it's really becoming i found damaging to find damage. the activists get modest financial support from a variety of organizations. even the you there alarmed, especially by series of new studies, would say that over the next 20 years, the amount of plastic in the world's oceans will double to a total of $600000000.00 tons. the maritime plastic tell you has taken on a life of its own. dr. emma, who of

a crawl university is studying the damage done to the ocean. it takes hundreds or even thousands of years who plastic to decompose that it gradually breaks up into ever smaller parts of the smallest of them. the nano particles now found in fish. r . a huge problem for gay and plastic salads and chemicals. these flat, drastic gets in the fish and then we consume the fish. and then what happens? we end up consuming the chemicals into our own bodies. is a big challenge, not just for the ocean and the echo system, but also for human. one more reason forgot to price ahead with recycling, plastic manufacturer minutes last has grown to be one of the country's most important plastic suppliers. it produces 2 types of plastic, plastic made from fresh materials and recycle plastics.

is something that came out of necessity. the cost of robot was expensive. we found out ways of recycling the matea we're talking about almost 20 years ago when recycling in guy. and i was very little. we have 50 percent of our production rate of recycled material. and we also produce and sell to other factories, but not only that is that we believe that in the next 10 years, there will not be a single drop of virgin material. and if i reciting trash means revenues for the company and jobs for its workers. the tasks of collecting and processing plastics provide a valuable opportunity to earn an income in a country where jobs can be hard to come by. after the test take has been segregated by type and color, it's processed into a molten mass which is converted into granulated plastic. the approach has many benefits, recycling, the aides, lots of jobs, and that be,

well this is something that is very needed here. we have developed 3 plants that collect for us, shred and recycling, and those are fed by smaller plans to whom we give always. busy trainings and financial help through ourselves. and sometimes through g, i said from your country and other organizations, many charts is essentially environmentally conscientious, getting 2 thirds of its power from the sun. however, where the beach meets the city of across the activists from plastic punch, se recycling is good, but waste prevention is better. so they also want people to think about how they live. the community might change the mindset on how they all handled the items in the daily life. so that's is the essence to give some form of hope that we are messing it up and we deserve to make it better for the next generation. this is

that message we up in, in about ways prevention and reciting. it'll take both to tackle climate change and not only in gonna that, so from us that global 3000 this week. don't forget to write to us that global 3000 and d w dot com until next time. take care. mm . ah, the news . the

in football. but the question if they don't feel welcome in football, what, where does it come from? and if you take a decision which you very clearly say, pointing to a sign in favor of the community and tested to the back seat instead of showing it on the biggest possible that it would be the question. what are you wait for when push comes to shove and not when you wrote me? that's what people are asking online. we'll see here in germany as well. in today's euro, 2020 matches england smashed their 2nd when of the tournament against the czech republic to confirm their qualification to the round of 16 rhymes. darling was the on mark for england. he scored early on to give his team a one. neil, when and 3 valuable points in the other match creation. 131. again, scotland, luca managers scored the best of the goals as creation guaranteed their see in the

including the kidding of 100 young women students in cobbled in may. and she was the increased conflict meant greater insecurity for many other countries, both in the region and elsewhere. germany is marking 80 years since the nazi invasion of the soviet union. the surprise attack on the 22nd of june, 1941, would open the biggest and bloody in front of world war 2 and end in the destruction of nazi germany. by the end of the war, 945, an estimated 27000000 soviet citizens had died, including 14000000 civilians. from its beginning operation, barbara rowse, as the invasion, was called, was conducted as a war of annihilation. the germans also treated soviet prisoners of war brutally. they were executed or starved or died on forced marches from the front. the nazis took some 5700000 soviet prisoners of war over the course of 4 years. the

estimated that more than 3000000 soviet p o w died, making them one of the largest groups of nazi victims. step by step, combing the forest for traces of the war. you may have good news. this is an empty cartridge from a german plains. that means it fell down here while the plane was shooting from i looked for 40 years now galena study has been searching the area in her home region with a metal detector. she often comes with her husband to look for remnants from what is known. the great patriotic war here in russia, there was a soviet air field nearby. these forests and fields were the sight of fierce battles. around a 1000000 soviet soldiers died, protecting moscow from nazi forces between 1941 and 42. many of them went missing in action. galena states that he did in her free time,

the work can be dangerous. it's lucky. galena is a trained bomb diffuser for the russian emergency services. sometimes she finds shrapnel and old mines, but there are also human remains under the roots, which i think in a book in the round is filled with war. the earth hides all these interesting secrets and traces of the past remains of people and traces of vehicles who just imagine for walking around this wonderful forest, girls and boys are picking berries and there's a skull sticking out of a trench that shouldn't be normal. it doesn't say on the skull, whether it's russian or german, it has to be buried no matter what. over 40 years of digging colleena has made many fines. she has collected them in a museum called a soldier's fate in her hometown of opium, south west of moscow. 3 years ago she found a bomber in a nearby swamp. the remains of 3 soldiers were inside, using archival information about the plane. colleena has finally managed to find

the relatives of 2 of them. today, part of my toilet in the commander of the plains crew will finally be reunited with his family. he was 24 when he died. he was missing all this time. nobody wants eliminate those notes. it's very emotional for me that he'll be returning home when i was little, my mother said that my grandmother used to cry when she looked at his photograph. julie black, maybe you should prefer galena re, unions like this several generations later are emotional motor them local organ pitcher, we weep on each other's shoulder. you can't really find the words to say the communication is happening on some sort of an emotional level. and of course, people just keep telling me, thank you. thank you. i see the question. sometimes people say, why do you dig? why disturbed the dead? but i think there's somewhere in the ether faceless, i don't know how to explain it, but their souls are restless. every year galena sets off on her

search. again, sarah, people like her across russia. people here say the war isn't really over until the last soldiers body has been buried. galena has made that her life's work. that's all for now. cove in 1900 special up next to morphia. soon thanks very much with the fight against the corolla virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection in developing? what does the latest research say information and contact the corona virus, not 19 special. next on d. w. sometimes.
