world order, the new silk road. china wants to expand its influence with this trade network also in europe. china is promising partners rich profit. in europe, there's a sharp warning you ever accept the money from the new super power will become dependent on it. china's gateway euro starts july, 1st on dw, the touched forest and dying trees. germany is feeling the heat of climate change. what can be done to help plum trees, for example, the pen african green belt movement has along the way and can medical research be conducted without laboratory mice. all that and more coming up

the not into tomorrow today, you'll find show on d w mice on by far the most common, the oratory animals especially bread for this purpose for around a century. without them many medical breakthroughs wouldn't have been possible. for instance, lab might have been used to study the immune system, as well as in cancer research and drug development. in the russian city of nova, the beer monument has even been erected in their honor. so there are no alternatives. lab mice of sue, indispensable to scientific research. this man does invaluable work at the max planck institute for molecular. g,

ethics in berlin. ah, it helps the scientists here gain insights into congenital malformations. today it's due to be inspected by professor stefan montrose and his team. at 1st glance, it looks just like any other regular mess, but then you notice that 4 of its toes are missing because people also want to find out what causes this kind of developmental defect or the most the mouse is a useful object of study because of how closely we can track its development, of course. but ultimately we're investigating a human disease and the human phenotype, as we call it, the placement. it's about patients so exhibit similar developmental defects in leisure. and the culture of the researchers use genetic engineering to create the defect altering mass genes. so their offspring are born with abnormalities.

the mice now have the same genetic defect as professors patients at the sherita university hospital. they way we can see how similar the changes are when the 2 sides completely different, which is typical because the physical expression varies widely or you can see several thing is missing here. the other 2 are missing. on the other side, they're only partially developed and they're also partially fused on don't know what the medicine that nanda, when does this, in contents quite similar to what we see appear in the mouse. but i'm also genetic comparisons of sick and healthy might help the scientists figure out the exact cause and frequency of the mouth formations. ringback the max planck institute lab has its own facility for breathing. the animals, the 1st lubarski, my bread, and the early 20th century. they've since been involved in various medical breakthroughs, such as the development of insulin. antibiotics,

cancer treatments like their counterparts in the wild. they have a natural curiosity and a rapid reproduction race. what makes them ideal test subjects are there genetic similarities to human? scientists use genetic scissors to alter masses, genetic makeup by switching particular genes on or off, or introducing new genetic material. over the decades, the institute standard lab massa spawn hundreds of new genetic lines including mice for the predisposition for diabetes, obesity, and breast cancer. ah, the aim is to decipher the genetic causes of malformations and diseases. lab might have been key to a host of nobel prize winning research projects. the mice at the institute for molecular genetics are used for basic research. other almost half of old test animals. the other half are used to develop drug treatments or vaccines. each animal experiment here has to be approved and deemed essential for resolving

scientific questions. but the moral dilemma remains. is it right for us to conduct tests on animals which result in pain distress and even death? currently is often no effective alternative stefan wound laws. fielding a come under, which lot of tests can be done using cell coaches these days. it's measuring the toxicity of various substances. for instance noir maybe covered when it comes to developing new drugs. you have to see what it does to an entire organism, booked, and some of those effects are hard to predict the effect, the had to be montgomery for years. and that's why there isn't really a viable alternative. you just under auto tissue is a spin off developed at the berlin technical university. it's teams developed chips that could take the place of animals and drug trials. they contain miniature versions of human organs by this is chip to which currently has liver and bone

marrow cells. we hope it will replace animal experiments in drug development. we also have chip for where we can test all organs. and we're currently developing a chip for 10 organ that's in oregon, and the scientists isolate human cells. for example, from human blood, bone marrow, the intestines are the liver, and use them to make tiny organ emulators. for drug testing, the researcher louise old myers check into quality of liver cells that have been ordered by a customer for tests. ah, good cookies, mentally about. and now i'm using a microscope to examine my liver cells, which i keep in different media. now on day 7, i'm looking at how they're doing and they look quite lively. and so i'm happy this of the fibrous ah, lap supervisor alexander lawrence, shows us how the chip works. micro pump that conveys the blood like nutrients,

solution from one miniature, oregon to the next. this simulates processes that take place in the human body. ah, we can, those media can, we can put some of the junk into the chip. and because we use human cells, we can gauge the effectiveness far better than an animal experiments. some of them and animal experiments. yes, this is more effective. the organ ship is placed in an incubator as a temperature of $37.00 degrees celsius. the start of hope these chips will soon make drug trials and many other animal experiments redundant but the multi organ ship won't be able to test the impact of genetic mutations. for that, there's still no alternative to lab mice. ready i hope what is read, why do you have a question you'd like us send it in?

if we featured on the show, you'll get a little surprise from us as the thank you. come on just this week's view. a question comes from veronica in mexico. why is learning to love yourself so important? feel health babies. what do they have to do to be loved? nothing with practically hard wired to find them lovable but soon were expected to be great at school. then learned an amazing job that pays heaps of money. when to top it off, was supposed to look fabulous to people make demands on us. we make demands on ourselves. we set our expectations, sky high, thinking if we liked my it will feel good about ourselves. but up to house a cons when it comes to self esteem. a recent study says that young people tend to

be very critical of their appearance because they compare themselves to others or believes that others find them ugly. anorexia in alcohol abuse, burn out and depression. many people who suffer from mental health issues also find it hard to love themselves. why? because something's missing. and that's a good relationship with ourselves. so relationship in which we're aware of our own needs and treat ourselves with loving care. loving yourself doesn't mean that you worshipped the ground, you walk on it's about accepting yourself as you are just like we accept the people we love the way they walk around all

so how can we do that? step one, accept how you feel and how you look, be okay with it right now in this very moment. therapists also recommend we reflect on the amazing things our bodies do for us every day. you might end up feeling something like gratitude. and in the moment, which is a good step on the path to learning, to love yourself. ah, you can find more fascinating stories from the wildest signs on our website and on twitter. the every year, millions of hector's of rain forests are lost in 2020, even more disappeared than in the year before. many products contain tropical wood . but where is that from labels on certified goods are supposed to make their origin more transparent. but does that make them green and to

me, another tree is being cut down and one of the world's primeval forests, the wood harvested from them qualifies for certification by the forest stewardship council. even though old growth forests, a crucial to the health of the planet, the fee is an international organization committed to sustainable forest management . them also proclaimed forests for or forever. there's been there to the burge to make sure that a lot of customers who buy f s c certified products, choose them because they believe it's for a good cause. it is actually true nature conservation expert p. f. a has carried out a scientific analysis of the f s. fees certification system does f, a c z goods did feel whole. the f a c label stands for words that has been

harvested in a variety of ways. it might come from huge, clear cutting and old growth forests available from eucalyptus plantations in rain, forest areas could be in a logical terms. it doesn't necessarily mean responsible forrest management. so consumers shouldn't be led to expect that they get pushed. the b. c is made up of the 3 chambers, each with an equal voice, but very different interests. indigenous peoples, environmental organizations, and the timber industry. ah, why do you logging companies have a say in the f s fees management criteria? we couldn't get an interview with the f s c global h q, but talk to the head of it's german branch. this is kind of to see is not

a conservation label. label to try to take the realities of our world into account when it comes to generating this valuable resource would as a renewable raw material that entails maintaining ecological standards, while at the same time, respecting social concerns. from as far as the f s. c is concerned that only works the lumber industry also has the same. and that's why even tropical timber from the caribbean, rain forest can get the f. s the seal of approval. the stipulations include cutting down no more than one tree on an area. the size of a football page every 20 years. the conservation group say that even selective logging is harmful to the delicate rain forest ecosystem. on that still is brazil. the wood harvested from these eucalyptus plantations is also f. s c certified. in return. the timber companies have to meet the various commitments,

including preserving the last remaining old growth forests in the region. the eucalyptus is native to australia. it's fast growth makes it popular. but plantations like this, harmful to the ecosystem. they reduce species diversity and extract mobile from the soil than domestic trains. the timber is still f, f, p certified because the industry has pledged to mitigate the negative impact me and in the science ecological standards. there are socialists use such as indigenous land use rides and workplace safety. are also environmentalists use like safeguarding waterways and ground water and reducing pesticide use and pester middle ends at sweeten is also home to ober forests the trees here and mainly harvested by clear cutting. the timber they supply, it tends to be fondness, valuable than tropical woods. and that's why the focus here is i'm quantity not quality areas that were until recently blanketed in trees, hundreds of years old,

a stripped bat, ah, an old green forest clear cut. but even this timber is f as fee certified. why? because s s the rules are designed to also take the host countries economic interests into accounts. in return, the login companies must meet ecological requirements that the s s c has deemed reasonable to determine whether the f s system helps protect forests, p s e bush and his team travel to an old growth forest and russia. and 1st, the certified clear casting is also committed in the candles greek and the researches compared areas with and without the f s. c label. they found that clear cutting in line with f s c criteria brings no ecological benefits and it has a serious impact on old growth forests. is in,

in the region we're studying, we can say with relative certainty that the old growth forest will eventually be depleted. the next inflation for leon, as van dunn flayson, the areas left where the forest might be able to grow again, giving them fights to evaluate the land grows hotter and dryer. we may end up seeing lessing damage to the ecosystem, and i was initiated to go this route was a samsung scientists like p f, e bush and many conservation groups are opposed to any logging in old growth forests. they want the priority to be sustainability. the current f s c. rules don't meet that demand. that's why pierre says that certification labels onto enough to protect the forests. in listen, we have to reduce wood consumption, companies,

cutting down primeval forests in russia, paper, tissues, and toilet paper is completely unacceptable. was this the sustainable forest management also means asking what the word is used for flushing old growth forest down the toilet is anything but green. even mr. wood is certified in many parts of the world, the impact of deforestation can no longer be overlooked. it increases global warming and contribution to soil erosion and desertification. for more than 40 years, the green belt movement has been fighting to preserve forests. it was founded by kenyan scientist, one got him, a tiny w series, african ruth tells his story in a very special way. this is canyon biologist,

one gary my time during a visit to our home village in the 1970. she noticed that local women had very little firewood and water to cook with a situation that had their thinking back to her own childhood back then, the surrounding hills were covered with forests on the stream slowed with water. the trees were laser cut down to make way for a new farmland, wreaking havoc on the ecosystem. quan gary, my tie, decided to take action by planting trees to prevent thought erosion, and keep the areas water sources from drying up. her work held revitalized the mountain regions and benefits of the entire country. oh, my tie was a member of kenya's national council of women and they so got on board in 1977. she's founded the green belt movement. their tree planting campaign went on to

attract high profile support in 1998 and the protected urban forest in the heart of nairobi was to be cut down for commercial development. when gary, my tie was raised, she and other women from the green belt movement took their protests to construction sites outside career, a forest which had been set up in order. the president, daniel, are up moy, they spent months mobilizing public support, other groups joined to protest. president moire refused to budge and sent in right police. the protest turns into violent confrontations. several protesters, including my tie, were injured. eventually, president more relented and ordered construction be stopped, and the activists made plans to restore the foreign laurie montgomery. my tie was

convinced that planting trees helped secure people's livelihoods. in 2004, she was awarded the nobel peace prize. when one guy, my tie, died in 2011, she was honored with the state funeral and more and around the world. her legacy is a green belt movement whose message is gone, global the in honor of one god. in my time, a tree was also planted in germany after head back then it was purely a symbolic test. but now germany too has a problem with drought and erosion in 2020 was classified as being the countries drought in planting trees in pharma fields. help save german agriculture no time at all. it's

a couple 1000 trees for me, it is $25.00 per bundle stick for real human as has big plans. she's hoping to see each of these cuttings grow into a fully grown tree in the middle of her parched fields. with the help of agricultural engineer, michel mine. she'd already planted some hop on her cuttings 2 months ago, but they didn't survive the spring time drought. a frustrating setback. it's unusual. there's 50 percent failure rate right now as tough. some have upset with us happening that has i think we've never seen that before. not even the extremely dry summers of 201-820-1910 in the spring at least the ground was moist enough to force the skype that you can see. rush way that it's just too dry. it's like a sand bulk runs book,

so it's nothing that now we just plant them deeper and using shoots that definitely reach down to the lower and moisture layer of soil and enforced on board. interesting. and the dried out samplings will be replaced the concept they're following is acro forestry, incorporating trees into farming systems, to mitigate the effects of drought. this part of ne, germany is among the driest in the country. maria jimenez wants to be sure she's prepared for the likelihood of even dryer weather to come off. if everything turns out as we hope the trees will help us to so water in the field of flesh by deployment. what's in the trees, sit down very deep roots and extract water from the lower layers of soil and with the evaporation. the entire area is cool down, somewhat chewing on that makes it more likely that the crops between them will thrive. the trees will also help create humorous and protect the soil from

erosion which also benefits the crops agro for street or a mix of agriculture and forestry is a promising concept in the fight against climate change. experts say that germany, for example, is likely to see not less rain, but 6 percent more. but in the winter, trees can help store that water for the summer when it's really needed. but agro forestry hasn't caught on widely yet, and part because it doesn't receive government funding. kansas enough, but when you are applying for assistance, you can get funding to plant trees on farm and. and if she plant too many trees, you'll lose your farm and status. there are all sorts of disincentives that discourage farmers from creating agri, forestry systems. everything we're doing here is possible because we're not farmers where outsiders have been fortunate enough to acquire some land land. because

maria human is, is an artist by profession, but also manages this farm, just south of berlin. so far without state support in 2007 agro forestry was included in the european union's rural development program. but germany hasn't implemented it yet. in contrast to france, where the number of trees planted on farmland has increased significantly, studies have shown that 100 hector of agro forestry land produced the same yield is 140 heck. tears of conventionally farmed land. still adding trees, does make fields more productive. if the saplings take root and about the saplings do get stressed when there's a summer drives that could happen here. if we don't get more rain. so we'll do a little poplar trees survive this summer. this time around. it's been 5 weeks since they planted the pump, our cuttings in the sandy soil,

south of berlin. so how are they doing they hadn't met in recent weeks. we've had more rain than in the last 2 years. a lot by our standards . but it's still not enough on the ground, it's still as dry as in the desert. but it was enough for the trees. almost all the new ones we added have growing leaves. they've been growing very nicely. decent allegation of oxen all that stands in the way of the young trees now is couched grass, but they don't use herbicides and instead do the weeding by hand poplars grow quickly, though these still need a few more years. but eventually maria minutes hopes the poplars will provide her fields with much needed water and shade. even when there is no rain.

ah, that's all for today. we'll be back next week with another addition on tomorrow today. until then, by, by the news, the news, the news, the news,

the news, the the, the, the lose, the against the corona virus pandemic now has the rate of infection in developing what measures are being taken. what does the latest research, say? information and context, clues, data special,

monday to friday on dw, i. every journey begins with the 1st step and every language of the 1st word. niko is in germany, germany. why not learn with him? new stuff. it's simple online, on your mobile and free. d w e learning course, nikos vague german made easy. any play with me and just getting back with me

and i know i did. i just have hi. oh, oh my i, i almost, what would you like

me ah, ah, use w news nice from burning south africa, titans restrictions as it battles. a 3rd wave of corona, virus infections report from a small town that had rather the pandemic with no infections until now. also on the program, north america, he twice breaks records as far as his wallet, temperatures off in the danger zone. and in world cup terms in england was

germany for. but which of these long standing supporting rivals will triumph as i do battle again at euro? 2020. ah, i'm still gale. welcome to the progress. we begin in south africa, where authorities are tightening. pandemic restrictions as doctors battle a 3rd wave of infections driven by the highly infectious delta variant. president, cyril roma poses warning. the health care system is at its limits. all gatherings and alcohol fails in our band for 2 weeks. there's now a curfew curves on travel. and schools have been closed. the w visited the town of clip round the western cape, where residents were just getting their freedoms back after 2 weeks of quarantine.

no one in the small remote county was know to have been infected with the corona virus. since the staunch, depending but that changed in the middle of june, when 3 people suddenly died from cove at 19 related complications, just hours apart. one of them lived in this house, hendrick or case was a retired minor. he was 75 years old, and diabetic. and then my sister told me on sunday morning that something was wrong with the chase. he couldn't breathe properly. and i said, maybe you guys was from the ambulance. and then i said no, he went to east doing fine. my mom is just been putting on some point on his chase to having to breathe properly and, and i told him and i asked him, how did you like us to do for you? and he said to be you guys to spray for me. and i said to my sister, just keep it updated already doing what's wrong with the and then we can take it

from the depth. raise the alarm prompting local helpful voice. he's to probe displayed convictions in the community, tasting revealed that almost a quarter of clip brands, $250.00 residence, wherein fix it our recruiter is the community spokesperson. he told us people here were caught off guard. does go what he does with a band. we weren't prepared for it since the last 15 months. we were totally free since march last year. when we go with start the in south africa in suddenly it says would have been and as i already mentioned, what we were prepared, these are kenny price in the heart of the community. but it has no capacity to provide k for people who are seriously ill. because the hospital is about 200 kilometers away. while most people who tested positive,

hardly experienced any simpson, no one wanted to take any chances. i was negative, but my, my gosh, i was forced to stuff so i decide i want to do it for you. course if i was positive, then you will do it for me all. so that's why i stay in my house in my room in florida also cause i don't want to fix some out of peoples of i don't wanna have to be infected. that's why i want a my residence. agreed to oppose a quarantine on all of plans. 65 households to slow displayed in fiction among the people of this type in the community. everyone isolated from each other and the outside world. how we have a 100 nice, have been the exercise proved rewarding. most people are now free of the virus and there is the general feeling that the worst is over for the brand. but just if

people felt safe to come out a game with youngsters resuming part time, play just like this game of rugby, fresh nationwide restrictions mean the newly found freedom will be short lived. well, let's look the way health systems work outside the big cities. dr. ernest darker is a founding partner abroad, reach health care. he's an expert in developing and implementing a large scale public health programs and join us from cape town. welcome to the w. dr. we've just seen that small town hit hard by the pandemic. other ment, likely to be many more like that in south africa. unfortunately at this point, yet there are, we were always worried about a 3rd wave based on the fact that we're going into winter. and this was with the previous very end. and then with the emergence of the delta variant that apparently is much more highly transmissible quote, coinciding with are going into the serious part of winter. i think that's a bit of

a deadly combination. so unfortunately, i think we can expect more infections. and are you expecting rural areas in small communities to be hit harder than perhaps the big cities i wouldn't necessarily say harder or less, i think across the board. i think everybody is going to be quite hard. in particular, if we have more of more aggressive variant and we're talking about being in the winter time and winter in south africa, the price would be, or we have, temperature is below $10.00 degrees centigrade in the evenings. and often some of them adapt to 0 in the morning. so people will stay indoors as close windows, and that's going to increase the spread of both in urban and rural areas. so here we are fighting ourselves in a world wide pandemic. how is the government or south africa doing? is it giving sufficient priority to the, to the folding funding of health care facilities?

it is actually already won for the government i sought after. and i think that we see exemplified by the president himself who stands up and personally give these updates is clearly a big priority. however, the country have experienced quite a few big challenges in trying to address the kobe. in particular, we're trying to go back to the nation program up and running. so the company is still been a bit behind, meaning that the new variant of students at a time when not enough themselves, have been back to me yet. and what is what is keeping that back? in fact, same supply as the vaccine has been saying, what's holding the, the program back at the moment. i think it's primarily been issues related to supply and, and then secondarily, some issues related to preparedness and planning. but for the most part of the company, i struggled with some major issues of supply early on the showed the astrazeneca vaccine, which was ineffective against the variant that we have. so they had to pull the

plug on back. and then they moved to the g n. j vaccine. however, that got halted for a while. i studied the blood clotting issue and then it was put on hold due to a contamination issue. so the 2 main thing that you're got interrupted, which i've nothing to do with the country at all. and the country then has also invested in the 5 year back team, which finally arrived. but it's 2 doses. so yeah, there been a few fundamental struggles getting out of the block overall and, and done, i think very because we can see the progress wrapping up throughout about a 100000 people a day. we need to be at about $350000.00 a day to be on track and i think that would be commitment to get the country there . good talking to to thank you for spending this time, dr. dr. dock and cater. my pleasure. thank you so much to in due or monsoon flooding along the river, ganges is exposed the grays of hundreds of corona virus victims. most the thought

of the people who died as cases searched earlier this year. the discovery feeling allegations that the government has concealed the true number of cove in 1900 deaths. a single body floats down the ganges. india's sacred river has turned into a graveyard. seasonal flooding has caused the river to swell, revealing hundreds of bodies. they are mostly thought to be victims of india. second ways of coded 19. during a certain cases, crematorium could not keep up with demand. the model of the bodies was thrown into the river and were floating in the water. the local authorities arrange information for them. upon the water level in the river is a rising. anybody who end up in the water and there's

a chance that the river will be contaminated with cremation, that families could not afford. and now being carried out on the river banks, more than a 1000 corpses have washed up here. since may health professionals have accused the indian government of fudging its current of virus figures to hide the true death toll. the official number stands at nearly 400000. the hundreds of corpses emerging from the ganges suggests that number may be far higher. we'll take a look at some other source making news around the world. now, dozens of firefighters are battling a large place in central london. are the 5 right broke out near the busy elephant and castle transport hub, causing trains to be diverted. no reports of injury. the police don't believe the incident to be carried related. swedish prime minister stand the vein has announced

his resignation a week after losing a confidence vote in parliament. they had the social democratic party and has been office since 2014. the speaker of the parliament will not have up to 4 attempts to find a new prime minister if he fails. snap collections will be called large parts of the united states and canada are experiencing a heat wave of one village in canada as the british columbia. so temperatures are reached nearly 47 celsius the weekend as a 116 degrees fahrenheit, the cooling dip to beat the summer heat. residents to the water as the sir mama rose above 40 degrees celsius in seattle for the 1st time ever. yeah, hi. i mean, you just stand around like i you can believe is so high for me. definitely have to issue. yeah, yeah, the pavement, even gravity. no,

thank you. go back inside the heat was too much for this farmer's market. this is very few times that we do close the market early, most of the time of which we've ever had to close the market earliest because i know that because of the heat, i think is the 1st time we've ever closed early because of the temperatures like these are no coincidence. the past decade has been the warmest on record, and the 5 hottest days were all recorded in the last 5 years. the main thing going on is, is highly unusual weather pattern. but that being said, the climate change is real. our temperatures have warmed here, especially summer nighttime temperatures. and so that has just kind of raised the baseline in made this heat event that much more severe while some seem to revel in the extreme temperatures. many environmentalists say this heat wave bears all the hallmarks of

a climate emergency. one of the most intense rivalries in football will be re ignited on tuesday as england host to germany and the last 16 of euro 2020. historically, germany have come out on top of their tournament clashes though the 3 lines did claim a major victory at wembley once before a historical game with a goal that remains controversial. today i thought england's only major trophy came in 1966 when they beat west germany on home soil to claim the world cup courtesy of what's known in germany as the wembley go. the rivalry has since made its mark on pop culture. germany, both for world cup titles and 3 european champ in ships there last year, as when came in 1996 when they beat england and penalty shoot out in their own backyard on route to the final current. england. coach. garris southgate missed the decisive spot kick in the semi final clash. england have traditionally made

more of the rivalry than the german counterparts with the media awesome stoking the flames of this rather one sided affair. but now that has been a role reversal of sorts. japanese usual clinical efficiency has disappeared and 3 wildly inconsistent performances saw them not a loss when and a drop to scrape through the group stage. meanwhile, the 3 lions have played less exciting but most solid football unbeaten in 3 games. and yet to concede england fans will be hoping garris southgate could make up for his penalty miss. but against germany, it's never easy. the if you're starting to pick a widow and that's a germany, england game, maybe you need help from someone with a nose for the right result. at hamburg zoo you showed us the elephant is known as

the oracle just predicted that germany will when the matcher to wembley. and if you doubt her credentials, you should bear in mind that she's correctly predicted the outcomes of all 3 a germany games i sent you out today to more world news at the top of the our rub. what has your business update in just with the focus on evidence economic crisis, the who's every day counts for us and for our planet

ideas. it's on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make people? how can we protect habits? what to do with all our ways we can make a difference by choosing smartness solutions over st said in our way, the local id, mental theories in little 3000 on p. w and online the economic crisis of historic proportions, that anger on the strength of lebanon, where the government has lost control of a tumbling currency, widespread shortages, and rising poverty. after 16 months of pandemic hibernation, the globe's biggest telecommunications trade show is back where the world congress

in barcelona and online gaming is taking africa by storm. will meet the young players who have turned the love of a sport into a living business. arm of walks in berlin, welcome to the program. now we begin in 11 am. a deep economic crisis is unfolding protests against deteriorating living standards continued over the weekend. 11 a pound has fallen to rec, or lose the shortages of many essentials. and more than half of the population now lives below the poverty line. public resolve is reaching breaking point. the protestors clash over the weekend with police and tripoli, lebanon's poorest city, and the capital bay route, burning tires and garbage serve as a symbol of citizens. rage. labinata to sending into an economic crisis that could read among the world's worth at the last 150 years since the world bank. poverty,

joblessness, and hunger are commonplace. what's the, what's the big with my, my mom, if i have money i can eat. if not, i won't. if you open my fridge, you won't find any cheese for me. there's only water and bread, who were soaring, inflation and shortages are pushing up the cost of money. essentially, the price of subsidized brad and hiked $5.00 times the year alone. long lines of cars, q across lebanon for sharon, in sufficient supply of gasoline. young people meanwhile are facing it increasingly bleak future. like this 16 year old school dropout and now work in an auto workshop . i'm young and suddenly i woke up and found poverty. everything is expensive and the dollar exchange rate is high. you can't go to the amusement park
