the china is promises partners rich in europe, and there's a sharp warning wherever, except money from the new superpower will be dependent on in china's gateways. europe starts july, 1st on d, w. ah, the water is fundamental to life without the 2 boot didn't exist and neither the plants, animals, and other organisms will share this plan to treat. despite it being such a basic need almost half of the world's population expedients, some kind of water shortages or trucks into these episodes. we look at ideas on how to use water sustainably. this is equal india,

and i'm sorry about let's start into menard at the height of the dry season. many districts in the southern states expedients extremely high water stress. historically mother right district doctored with water tanks was prepared to deal with this. but rapid organization in the last few decades has stood in the week and organization in the region has been working with local residents to restore and maintain the ancient water tax to ensure access to clean water. to order in the village of gambler in moderate district domino, the de starts with a trip to collect water from a nearby point. the village isn't connected to any water supply network. so let me fill several containers at once. there are strict rules about water collection from

the pond. niana video outside as on allowed to use the pond. no one is allowed to submit to washington. no dogs are allowed. not even livestock, like how's the village organize it? it's water use. it says, thanks to an organization called a ton foundation, development of human action. don has religious regarding a centuries old tradition gulker mortimer to a system of community management, vacation tanks. corey means people murmur to minutes repair the project manager holes regulatory with viola gums, associations of local farmers. they are responsible for the maintenance of the village water supply. i'm anybody don't. people who have always depended on these water bodies using phones for drinking interrogation tanks for farming. and people use the income from them as a community funds to restore on painting the water bodies, and muddle. and this reminder to system has had to make water managed and more

efficient with the introduction of redemption bases that allow locals to use water collected during the monsoon season. throughout the you got my report about them. and this is jason tech in 1300, you know, want to keep to me by land. arable disposition, and in my usually positioned on the river bank on my own level. i got i want, i got about double not got it. but if it's in the doesn't cave in a low single to go silt from the reaches the field loaner the night concert island on the way. i got to go into the new one of them, said somebody and i don't know why a little more of them are the people in charge of the maintenance of the irrigation time and bond are known as water managers. they also decide who get how much water and rent it's a challenging job. and came up on the,

on the lot. i might not be hearing floods. they have to swim on the water and remove the stones at the bottom of the dam alone and dug all about. and otherwise the water can't flow through the outlet into the field waterfall mangle enough already not. so that's 3 times a whirlpool occurs. and people who go into the water to open the slim get cause only going to go put all of that that are going to go out. and among the cream i am a to system was discontinued during the colonial era. when water management was nationalized, local expertise gradually disappeared, and many reservoirs fell into a state of disrepair. the lines of people reading at water connection points to the importance of an efficient water management system. in india, water shortages threaten some 600000000 people. 75 percent of the villages are not connected to any water supply network. the foundation was closely with community

local plan and organized the restoration of rows and irrigation tons shouldering 25 percent of the cost themselves. the rest is funded by the n g over the last 3 decades. why on the guns are far more associations have restored nearly 1200 deformed turns in the bomb by region. this family recall the early days of the contract. with me a lot of 996. we paid money, started work on 2 tanks. we transformed a huge wasteland into an education. it's still in, you know, it's a community tank on the god. is it even now? cultivate the board. despite the hash, some of this year he was a sion tank in fumble is again brimming with water. the farmers in the region tell us how in the not so distant past, it was badly dilapidated until the tabs are on the bus. yeah. usually we saw in

january kind of in the harvest. we didn't have a lot in the field barren. a lot of them now we have excess water and cultivate codo miller. when one second ground gives us a profit of around 20022400 rupees. on one acre we can harvest 20 sacks of ground. we are in an extra 10240000 rupees and when the water was when known as ronnie's also supplied drinking water to remote villages, the model of municipal cooperation in the pond bar basin that one's house more than 90. ronnie's currently only has 21 left, many of the older tanks and on these are garbage dumps to d or have been repo post by the government or private industry. because these existing structures suit, the regions topography, the don initiative has walk the restore, close to $300.00. iran is income and well then the woman isn't village you're

running, you know. but after ration is bigger and deeper, that's 3 times as much water as they used to be. and it never runs dry. funny. together with lucas gone has helped transform the water system in some photos and villages using traditional methods to improve the future. often rural india, many people around the world drink water out of plastic bottles, whether it's considered unsafe to drink, tap water like an india, or because it stays still a more convenient while traveling. whatever the reason it often leads to more plastic trash. germany has found the solution, but let's find out if it works, as well as it seems. bought among the most common pollutants around the was. but all countries have been struggling to contain germany. think of crack. the court was on the countries around the was odd. and then

let's go. the last the dreaded plastic bottle that's come to symbolize. i disastrous impact on the planet is really bad. around the world every day, almost 1500000000 costing bottles. germany where i live is killed as having the best system. the system caused as an overarching chad. henry schneider is from environmental action, germany, which studies and supports the fund or deposit return system for plastic and glass bottle itself, except the deposit system works really well close to 0 units of

beverage packaging and actually in the environment, stay in the environment and that's, that's really positive. keeping plastic and glass out of nitro is one of the main reasons the german government introduce the deposit system in 2003. another was to incentivize a shift more environmentally friendly beverage packaging market overall. here's how it works. manufacturers make the bottle and the deposit is worked into its cost. they sell the bottle to wholesalers, retailers who sell it on to the consumer. when consumers have drunk 10 drinks, i'm doing my money. they carried them to the store. one of the countries 48000 diverse vending machines the these accept most times,

but ah very much for the 25 bottles like to can i go back around 350 people for the wards of all the above is collected on the other side. around 40 percent of these are re fillable, which means they get clean, refills and sold again. the refill about plastic bottles can we use up to 20 times on glass bottles can be used up to 50 times in germany. the remaining a single use bottles. these have a wrong double the deposit cost built in. with the hope the customers would be different than device from buying them. the problem a single use bottle and best they can be recycled, which uses a lot of energy and reduces the value. only a quarter and up in new bottles are those i don't like linda fibers,

other material exported or simply burned even considering the collection washing and transport that refilled. those require each single use body and have more than double the carbon footprint of re fillable one over its lifetime. one reason the system has largely worked is because you are never more than a few minutes away from a supermarket shop that takes them back. as retailers can make money from it, those collect bottles can decide whether to recycle them themselves or send them on to recyclers and they take the more profitable option. the coca cola is getting around in big 2 liter plastic bottles these days. due to leader plastic bodily, 25 percent lighter than the big single used packaging push started in the global north in the eighty's and ninety's. when the consensus was that plastic was the like with failure that would replace fragile glass bottles. me when environmental

histories concerns different governments tried to contain the mess in different ways, from schemes like producer b as to the green dots system. germany's environment minister at the time you're going to decide of the country need something more radical. i'm so against resistance from beverage lobbies including cold challenges. he said to these deposit system in motion to dance decision was full, was received and he was so proud that inside get the d. j. he calls himself needed doesn't fund is the day before. and most of the western countries have still been unable to stand up against pushback, from beverage corporations for them because they go for a material that is lightweight, so they are quite low. the black is true, it's very lightweight. so you only pay for the production of john,

mark simon, and his colleagues pushed for better waste management policies around the world right now. around 20 countries, mostly in europe, has some version of the deposit sky and some states in the u. s. and austria, i experimenting with it on the local level. other countries like indonesia, i could have tried different methods, including extraneous plastic bottles from bus tickets. after public pressures, cotton has been the latest, the implemented deposit system. the u. k. parliament was close to making a decision, but postpone this critics and the said, the plastic lobby still plays a big role, installing such decisions. and was we have seen the ending of closing as well. introduction of new positive proposal from the government class last week . and the night before, the vote in the, in the minister will get the ball go from industrial benefits and the proposal will

be removed and put in it will be me a leak internal memo from coca cola calls the scandal even admit that strategy to abhor the systems clearly in writing this trend of corporations pushing single use into the market has moved to the global out until recently, bottles have largely been refilled. we call waste management. we have also led to many cities looking like this. definitely the corporations have delayed the opportunity and they have totally shifted from being mentored effect. it said that thing is a waste management researcher in new delhi, like many countries in the global south, which production is growing fast in india. and the foremost systems have not been able to catch up even if they are trying

the collection, the collection that they should be in india is over most of the way it gets collected. but the problem is most of it gets collected on informal wish collectors play a large role in south and southeast asia and africa when they pick out a plastic from an segregated ways it is often contaminated, which means it's recycling value and the amount that can be recycled a significantly lower western countries also of an export that waste to developing countries which adds to the burden. back in germany, one reason the streets do look cleaner is the deposit system. it also means that uncontaminated waste with the recycling value gets systematically collected. but hasn't met if other additional objective of moving towards

a green system research shows that since 2003, the share of plastic refilled bills of the market has actually significantly dropped. one reason is that supermarket giants have had the financial power to stick to single use in order to streamline the return process. countries global not including germany still produce much more packaging waste than those in the global south. so the most environmentally friendly solution would be to reduce that 2nd place goes to refilling and then recycling for my bought i started getting my own water bottle, so i need to use the amount of waste that i created on the state level. of course, you can push for policies like germany's that has proven to work for reducing and reusing. not trees need water just as much as we do. if not more. trees and cities often locked in the middle of concrete and storm and need extra care that are more than 400000 trees in germany's capital city. berlin and

some of its residents have developed a project to make sure they are looked after. water at berlin has experienced 3 years of below average rainfall and the trees are dying out. ready a tree needs at least 10 of these watering cans of water a week. this group of volunteers wants to be part of the solution. they've gotten together today to water their cities, trees, as hazardous. let's norma last summer. the tree in our backyard died because it couldn't withstand the drought and it was just gone and i thought the ones in front of the building might be next. and i didn't want to see that happened unique, again, the farm house own religion is a project based at berlin city lab, set up the neighbourhood watering initiative online and the platform shows how much water the different trees need. city lab is

a nonprofit foundation based in the german capital where innovations are born with the aim of making the city and more sustainable. the data comes from the city administration, with daily weather updates and information about whether or not the trees have had enough water. you know, this map contains more than 625000 tree points. it could be range tree and you can find out what type it is, the age and it's water requirement in that's what we have for now. but there are other features we could include. i was like the high, the diameter of the crown, the diameter of the trunk. it's really exciting, especially in terms of watering. that's almost 2000 and berliners have registered so far. some of them just water trees occasionally. others have taken responsibility for a single tree on their st. berlin has 2500 parks. they're the

green lungs of the city. the trees improve the climate and filter out exhaust emissions, and more people are becoming aware of their importance. there are now several environmental initiatives in berlin, this neighborhood to inquire back as a regular gardener. today there spruce thing up the flower beds and planting bulbs for next year's flowers. we're in this together regardless of where we come from and it's a global environment. so we planted flowers and different sorts of things to have a healthy environment to bees. and above all, we just like getting all these people together to do something together, the happy to be together. the watering group has their work cut out. there's been no rain for nearly 3 weeks. the volunteers can easily stay on the app, which trees need water. they're hoping the initiative will spread beyond berlin.

comes off, i'm still here, but you could use this platform for other cities because it's open source. in principle, any city that has a training register available, and that has weather data, which is most of them i could implement this app themselves. that's kind of the volunteers will keep up the good work until winter, helping to keep the 30 trees of berlin alive. are planted to meet for water is only increasing and never decreasing. treating water may be a useful solution to meet this rising demand, but there are technical challenges to achieving this. and even if this roadblock is crossed people university frown upon having to cleansing treated water. a company in delhi is trying to change this by demonstrating how sewage water can be converted into safe drinking water. the marina river is

most important source of drinking water at the fifty's northern edge. it's still quite clean, but it's a different story entirely once it leaves the southern parts of delhi. because all the city sewage flows into the river, including industrial waste water, from the lease. what do you think is problem and deli, today is the availability of clean water. yeah, it will, a lot of work has gone into cleaning efforts, etc. but there is an urgent need to address the issue of making more water available demand phase coming, you can populate ation is occurring rapidly and with it, the demand for water is rising just as fast can government. similarly, these other ones could help solve the problem. that part of the facility designed to transform waste tools into drinking water. in many parts of the world, treatment plants only clean sewage to a certain extent before re directing the water back into the rivers. the new method

aims to change me to single came up with a concept together with her father after she was angered by the water quality in their home. this whole idea came about is also because i have seen personally in my own home where the switch line and the drinking water supply line normally gets mixed up, especially in the veins. so at that point of time, it is, you know, it was, it was crazy. i mean, you could mail it in your while, you're being, you know, we were having stomach issues, having infections and all that kind of stuff. so it was about what can one do about this, and i've seen kids playing and would what the, you know, it's quite disheartening to watch. so that's where basically the whole concept came about the daily job board, the government agency, responsible for most of the cities water supply, installed the plant and it's cash. right in west sterling,

run on solar power. the absolute water facility generates 100000 pieces of clean possible water each day and helped clean up the rivers. which is collected from surrounding districts, intent, containers, and trash and tiny plastic particles of filtered out of the waste water. it's then sprayed over 5 layers of bio filter beds filled with wood, chips, pebbles, and sand. here the worms get to work, breaking down the pollutants. the recycling process was developed and refined by company founder. so neil thing guy who was a chemical engineer, politically the thing exists, some people had done some experiments, for example, using the will me cotto. but at this scale it had not been done. and then the challenge was that it took operate by from 50 degrees, which india experiences to minus couple of degrees. that for example,

lake and approach and then to keep those ones alive. so that required some working to do and also the toxicity that is present in the sewage. because in india, a lot, which is also mixed with industrial storage, there's not just domestic storage using nano filtration technology. the water is transformed into what's classified as high quality drinking water that meets the world health organization standards. the plan to can treat 4000 liters of water every hour. of the technology is expensive to install, but it was ition is offset by lower running costs compared to conventional sewage treatment plants, all s t p 's. the most important thing is the operational cost, which currently in the market we are the cheapest $1.00, each on act of the conventional se piece. the other most important part is that

being green we, we are not subject to very heavy equipment. so therefore, i like that the cost transaction is the lowest. so all in all, it's a full sustainable, glean system and it is constantly cyclical, as i call it, absolute waters, various facilities. now treat some 3000000 liters of sewage daily. that's just a small portion of what dell it produces. still, the firm's found the convinced that in future 80 percent of its residents water needs to be met using purified water. water gives us life. we need to protect it. i hope to these show his health to pink about your water use and how it could affect the rest of the organisms living on out on leave you with a thought and see we'll get next week from all of us in india and germany, goodbye. and thanks for watching the

this is the w news lied from berlin. german troops entered in a cobb alma sac and molly, the un peacekeeping troops were on a patrol here north of the city of gal. when the bomb went off, we'll go tomorrow for the late. the chances of rescuing survivors from a class building in florida are looking slim. local officials have confirmed the desk the full people, but nearly 160 remain missing. you lead us wrap up for today. stomach mocked by division, disagree over the best strategy towards russia and how to deal with hungry over a controversial new law that critics, they discriminate against l. g b,

q people. ah, ah ah, i'm got out as welcome to the program. reports are coming in that german soldiers are among 15 troops wounded in a car bomb attack. and molly use agencies are citing sources within the german defense ministry saying at least 12 german soldiers wounded. the attack happens north of the city of gal where german bonus their troops are station that camp custer the part of a united nations peacekeeping mission. in molly un peacekeeping mission may not ma, has released a statement on the attack and via twitter. it says this morning, i'm announcement temporary operational base near the village of se gara and talking commune gal region was the target of a car bomb attack. 15 blue helmets were injured. evacuation is in progress.

so it goes straight to brown. post him as he's the journalist in the go. and what more do we know about this? the talk by now in the law. so much more has come through in terms of new details. what we do know is that they do that. you mentioned in your introduction they were but the german soldiers who are part of them are not smart people operation here in molly, we're in the temporary base near a village school start up which is in the kids area which is about a 1000 kilometers to the ne capital obama go in the region of golf, which is the main city in this part of the country. and they were there in a temporary base to recover a vehicle. ready that had previously been hit by an e d and an improvised explosive device. the attack this time this morning against the german blue helmets, the german troops was made by a cobble not quite sure about how like around henry the explosives were.

but what we do know is that it did not damage to at least 15 german soldiers, as we now know, 3 of whom have been injured seriously. and as you mentioned in your introduction as not my have issues are safe and saying that evacuations are ongoing. why you, this is harry remote terrain. extremely difficult to access. so any documentation must be done by air show that he was against helicopters or other apple and transportation means to get this accomplished. because more about the german armies mission of n. molly, why are they there? and do they have a robust mandate? oh, we the, among the depends on the monotonous mandate, which is quite clear. it says minot, why is that to accompany the state of molly tamale. and he's in extending,

it's already to the entirety of this 1200000 square kilometers big country. it is a huge part of the whole west africa. and it is that to engage in civilian protection that must protect the civilian population in law against all kinds of. busy impacts whether. busy they come from the groups in the region or indeed from the army. so although this is obviously an extremely touchy area of which we are not really, really able to discuss. hopefully, all sides are indeed engaging in abuses and human rights abuses against organ population is menace was brief. there are about 1000 german through the 2nd part of the peacekeeping operation, which is the biggest in the faculty, the biggest in africa with some 14000 participants are also engaged in a training program which is a 100. and it's happening in the town of fully caught all which is not very far

from bama. go where the ross and 450 german troops engaged in training them all the army from hospice journalists body. thank you very much. that's have a look now at some of the other stories making headlines, bella ruth has moved on to government journalists, romance to separate from prison, to house arrest and men. he was arrested in may after interception of the inception of ryan as plain on its way civility, as from athens, $13.00 for the plane landed meant where he was taken into custody. the arrest prompted international outrage. just because boston gibraltar has voted in favor of using a strict abortion law, 62 percent of president voted to relax the laws. the government proposed legal changes to allow termination when a women woman's mental or physical health is at risk. or when fetuses have fatal physical abnormalities. authorities in australia have ordered residents

for neighborhood in central sydney to stay home for a week. as part of measure to contain a growing outbreak of the death of area and of covert 19 several dozen cases have been recorded. this week's wraps, a nato, and the czech republic has killed at least 5 people and the injured dozens more. it's the most damaging storm of the countries. more than history, strong winds rips roofs of houses, overturned cars and gas. debris through street rescue crews are still searching through rubble that used to be in the apartment building in the us state of florida. it partially collapsed early on thursday. at least 4 people are known to have died. but officials fear this number may rise as more than 150 people are still on, accounted for day 2 for rescue operations in florida. the sun comes up and the severe damage is visible. once again, only debris is left of roughly 55 apartment units in surfside. close to miami.

teams are working and 12 hour shift. search and rescue hasn't stopped since they 1st arrived at the scene. in the parking garage firefighters tried to stabilize the foundation and tunnel into the rebel of what used to be a beach front, high rise. we are going to work as hard as we can to continue our search and rescue effort. that is our priority. that is where we're focused and protecting our 1st responders who are on the scene. but it's not just the rescue teams that are at the scene. non stop residents and neighbors were there throughout the night to support each other, waiting to hear from loved ones. i tried to contact them, but nobody, nobody answers. i tried to contact them also on what's up. nobody didn't get any answers, so hopefully they are okay in the area where the collapse building is located. many

residents have an international background and relatives abroad where we're working with constituents to help get visas process quickly. so we can get their family members over here to be able to make sure that they can be standing by to get the critical news. they're all waiting for florida declared, the state of emergency to release additional funds and personnel, federal assistance is on the way as well. all we can do is try to help people that are in that situation and obviously get us answers as well for the future. so sometimes this never happens, we get because it's not just the search for survivors that keeps this community on tenterhooks. they want answers about how this could happen. 10, your opinion summit has wrapped up in brussels of the 2 days of heated discussions . leaders from the member states discuss various matters, including economic recovery after the pandemic. but the meeting was overshadowed by disagreements on russia and on hungary. most member states, expressed strong opposition to new laws, passed and hungry that impact the l. g

b g q, community that. meanwhile, a joint front, the german plan to hold meetings with russian president vladimir putin was shot down. gemini johnson glom ackles that she's disappointed that have proposal failed . death getting up front eddings. people have taken a very different view, resorts being proposed. well, it doesn't matter whether it's speaking with the russian president or the us president speaking with him. he didn't offer the russians any gifts. if i may put it like that, i am saddened by that because it shows that we don't have the trust amongst ourselves. that needed to know that we do have the self confidence required to conduct such tool on all class. we need to work on that the, on this and all that america there for more on this that's bring in, correspondent, in brussels and senior summit watch barbara visa, barbara,

and unusually analysis that from america does the, you need more self confidence, you think? especially in dealing with russia. question off the self concept conference. it's not quite clear whether that was the problem. the problem here was that france and germany sorta sprung without prior announcement. this idea of having high level that is on our leaders levels, tenants was recommend putting upon the participants. and that is something they don't take kindly to. this is generally not done. those sorts of initiatives are prepared carefully and you will get on the form beforehand and, and talk to your colleagues in the other european capital. so all of a sudden disappeared and everybody sort of slammed the doors and said, no, we don't want this. there are 2 camps, of course. italy, for instance, supports france and germany. in this, as does australia, this kim says we have to be independent of what the united states,

even if we are their friends again of what the united states negotiate. on our behalf, we have to talk to put in ourselves and for that we have to get together as leaders and sit down with them and tell him what we think. now if you look at the some conclusions, the wording is the most stringent, and most i see that we have seen ever towards russia. there is talked about the illegal disruptive malign activities of 2 teen couldn't get any sharper. but other countries, particularly in eastern europe, think it's the wrong signal to moscow. it would reward to, to, for that behavior. and they strict, they generally and strictly said, no, we're not, we're not on with this initiative. we won't do it. it will also focus on the use post pandemic economic recovery. did they reach any agreement that yeah, they are quite united on that. that was one of the easy and good points that when

the well and quickly the economic data in europe looking relatively good to the recovery in most european countries is under way after the end. we know that you commission just to do the tour through you capital's about the plans for the money to be spend out of the 700000000000 recovery fund and so there will be good in you to be distributed everywhere. so general happiness on that front, and there's also the big risk over a controversial as abt law and hungry that that's prime minister went so far to suggest hungry leaves the union. where does this leave the you as leaders? head home? yeah, i mean that was the, the worst sort of dust up we have ever experienced at summit. i mean, voices have been raised. i mean that's what we hear afterwards. we're not there, of course p t that voices had been raised and they all lead into victor arbor and he had just 2 friends, poland and sylvia in this big is some of the room and the everybody was really

united on this is going to far is step to fall, we need to draw a red line towards what victor urban does and all the anger and fury that was expressed, of course was also sort of pent up anger about having watch the, the development in hungary for years, the development towards a liberal. so called liberal democracy that they haven't stood up against earlier. barbara, visual and brussels. thank you. researches in israel say that have identified a previously unknown type of actions human that lived alongside all species more than a 100000 years ago. the finding said new lies onto the course of human evolution. remnants of an ancient human form near the city of rome, la research is discovered remains of this previously unknown. lincoln evolution, a partial skull and jaw. from an individual who lived between 140120000 years ago,

belongs to the very old group that lived in the event. we can rewrite in a, in a way the history of the development of the under tells. now we can say that it's probably that they originate in, in the levant, in our region, rather than in europe and many researchers. so until now, the dig also uncovered large quantities of animal bones as well as stone tools. scientists believe this species most likely interacted with the local homo sapiens, meaning modern day israel may have served as a melting pulse with different human populations mixed with one another before spreading out across several continents. and they said from me that is team, don't go away though, my colleagues to know them. alarm will bring you the latest business after a short break. and i will have more headlines for you at the top of the gab office
