companies, my, my, my counselors because i grew up in a completely different way. rod are listed jewish in europe. the 2 port documentary starts july 5th on d, w. ah, this is the w news, and these are the top stories. south africa has entered a strict national lockdown to blow a surge of corona. virus infections linked to the fast spreading. delta vary and all gatherings and alcohol sales have been banned for 2 weeks. authorities of also impose a curfew placed curves on travel and close schools. south africa is africa worsted country by the code, 900 pandemic. if your government has declared
7:01 am
a unilateral cease fire with the rebel forces in the war torn t cry, region, thousands of people have been killed or fighting in recent months. and many more displays. the announcement of the truce came after a rebel forces claim to have taken control of the regional capital. nato and ukraine have begun, major naval exercises in the black sea. us them kia, are leading the 2 way drill, involving more than 30 countries. the alliances are intended to showcase its commitment to collective defense, russia annex the crimea infamous, let in 2014, and sees the exercise of the provocation. this is data we need from berlin. there is a lot more on a website that's t w dot com. mm. scientists say the protection from the modernity and by on take visor,
7:02 am
corona virus, vaccines could last years. that means no booster shots, but that also means no major mutations of the virus and it's variance, no guarantee there and no guarantee will get the existing variance under control either from australia to south africa to bangladesh. the delta variant is responsible for new locked downs and in spain, it's threatening to turn the british tourist into this somers persona non grata. i'm brent gulf and berlin. this is the day the there is no time, no room for complacency. we really face to my serious process in the private pan demik since the early days in february, march, last year. the situation has gotten worse along with many other countries,
7:03 am
but not continent africa, south africa, the massive decisions of infection. i think everybody to be afraid of the people by the 1000 also coming up air conditioning used to be taboo in places like seattle in vancouver will not anymore a huge heat don't. has people living along the pacific coast of canada in the us feeling like they woke up along the equator? yes. hi. i mean you just stand around like i you can't breathe so hard for me. definitely have to shoot. yeah, yeah, the pavement, even gravity. no, thank you. go back inside our viewers on p b. s. in the united states into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the day with reason to imagine a post pandemic world, free of any vaccine booster shots. a new study released today is adding to the
7:04 am
evidence that the m r and the vaccines madonna and buying on tech pfizer, all for protection that is durable, durable, as in decades. but that will depend on how the virus mutates moving forward. and it is precisely the variance of the virus that threatened to dash, all hopes future and present. just ask the people down under australia is facing several outbreaks of the highly infectious delta barrier. a lockdown is now in effect in sydney and will be so for at least 2 weeks. and it's not only in new south wales where the variant is spreading. it is absolutely necessary. the reality is we are not out of the woods yet, not by a long way. the risk to the community has grown in the past 24 hours. we are now in an extremely critical period. we must die locked down while we keep this bar as trapped. well, they are saying the same tonight in south africa and it's all too familiar. their
7:05 am
south africa has reintroduced tough restrictions, including abandon the sale of alcohol. it also extended nightly curfews as it struggles against a new surgeon cove in 1900 cases caused by the delta vary. here is south african president, 0 rama folks. we are in the green of a devastating wave that about all indications seems like it would be west on both that have preceded it. the peak of this 3rd wave looks to be higher than the previous 2 waves of a more. now i'm joined by doctor john campbell. he is a health analyst based in england, and he is considered an authority on all questions about this pandemic. it's good to see you again. what is it about this delta variant? that means so many countries are now increasing. pandemic re straightens,
7:06 am
where they were just emerging back into normality. it is just so disappointing, printers and things looking like they're going well and now we're sort of plunged back into the depth of it. it's the increased trans miss ability of this, where we are now public health things and just said it's 64 percent more transmissible than the previous u. k. 10 alpha variance. and that was about 40 percent more transmissible than the original wild strain variant. so this is at least twice as transmissible, as the original very that will be dealing with and this means that measures that were working before such as household isolation. for example, a no longer working. now we're finding that the virus spreading around the whole household. this is launch the how it got seated in the u. k. people coming from india. they were isolating at home, but passing the virus on. so other members of the household were taking out into the, into the community and things in the care of the case. they're going dramatically up. i mean, today in the u. k. almost 23000 new cases in the u. k. just of the single day
7:07 am
until about 70 percent of the past week. the, there's a really sharp increase in play. places that have this delta area and that the percentage of cases seemed to be pretty well doubling every week. so somebody like germany and out about 15 percent next week could well be 30 percent. very transmissible high viral loads, small numbers of viruses need to become, in fact, it is a big transmission problem. and what about the vaccines? is there now a consensus on which vaccines are or are not effective or can protect us against the delta various the big thing about the delta value is if you don't get a high degree of protection up to one dose of either vaccines. so we're looking at about 30 percent for the oxford astrazeneca vaccine cover for the 1st dose, only about 36 percent for the find the vaccine. but after 2 doses, the effects are really quite similar. and the protects against hospitalisation and
7:08 am
sickness, which is really the important thing about 92 and 94 percent protection. so even a low the slight differences in the risk of getting symptomatic disease. the chances of getting really sick are very good and we've got good levels of protection with both vaccines, whether it's the, the oxford or the 5 that we're using in the u. k. interesting point. know that the symptoms of changing quite a bit in people vaccinated. so people need to have the high index of suspicion for common cold type symptoms. so the most common symptoms now when people to roxanne's a headache, runny nose, sneezing and sore throat so that people are getting those who need to consider the possibility of the virus go and get tested in case the pressing onto more button ruble people. and you know, we are beginning this height of the summer travel season. some countries have reopened to tourists under certain conditions. and we know that thousands of people are traveling to the euro. 2020 football been use. is another spike in cases
7:09 am
inevitable with this? the euro 2020 is a concern, the epidemiologist in denmark of identified 5 cases of delta varying in danish fans . and they're pretty sure they got from a football match. that means they go to outside, even though the crowds are not a capacity. now the transmission outdoors would not have occurred with the original barrier, because this is so much more transmissible. it's possible that the your football tournament could be a super spreader event. we hope not because it is outdoors, but there are cases and evidence of that now. and i really think we are taking with what we know today. we're taking quite a risk on carrying on with these large capacity football games. when you look around the world campbell, the places where the delta varied is really spreading, almost out of control. are there enough vaccines there for people to get vaccinated apps? absolutely not brand to me. we're actually looking at
7:10 am
a kale of to will to now we've got your vaccination program you've gotten really well. it's catching up with the u. k. it's actually accelerating the u. k. is reasonably good. the united states is kind of in between the 2 of the vaccine uptake in the u. s. has been slightly of late. vaccines are going well in china, but pretty well everywhere in the world. vaccinations are low in russia. it's due to law low uptake, but in most countries in the world is to, to low vaccines supply. and we know that because this, this verity so much more transmissible. we need a higher level of community or heard immunity to suppress the virus. we're probably looking about 80 percent of people that we need to be in community to really suppress this virus. we're nowhere near the in easier, for example, cases a spine thing. we've learned about a strayer, south africa with a delta variant countries. i'm particularly worried about bangladesh, pakistan, maya them are thailand, cam bodie of vietnam. all the embryo sing. dramatic increase is now with completely
7:11 am
inadequate vaccination. we really need to have an emergency sort of manhattan projects on vaccines for the world. doctor john campbell is always good talk with you, i can, but we appreciate your time and your valuable insights tonight. thank you. thank you. back the quote to soccer now in one of the most intense rivalries in the game, some would say in all sport on tuesday, england will host germany at wimbley in the last 16 of euro 2020. historically, germany have come out on top and these tournament clashes with one exception, that goes way back. i wasn't even a sparkle in my father's eye when the 3 lions last claim victory against the germans at wim. the historical game with a goal that remains controversial today. i thought england's only major
7:12 am
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 goal. the rivalry has since made its mark on pop culture. germany both full world cup titles and 3 european championships there last year as when came in 1996 when they beat england and penalties shoot out in their own backyard on route to the final current. england code scour 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 of them stoking the flames of this rather one sided affair. but now that has been a role reversal of sorts. gemini, usual clinical efficiency has disappeared and 3 wildly inconsistent performances saw them not a loss when under draw to scrape through the group stage. meanwhile, the 3 lions have played less exciting but most solid football unbeaten in 3 games.
7:13 am
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 it's and for more on the big game we have a very on correspond jonathan harding at wembley getting to you jonathan your, there were the action is going to take place. we know there's tons of media coverage. the british media, they like to refer to the england germany rivalry as one of the greatest of all sports. is it i think that might be a little over the top if i'm on as the whole basis of a rivalry, is that both sides of some level of success and quite frankly, i haven't been able to do that against germany, oregon, to anybody else for that matter and recent told them, and so i think that's part of the issue. i think it's a big game, but i think the rivalry is not what he used to be. quite frankly,
7:14 am
the 2 sides are approaching this fixture and a slightly different way. more noise is wearing his rainbow on bands, so his english captain, hurricane. on both sides, we'll kneel before the kick off. so it feels a little less like a rivalry. and a little bit more like 2 teams standing or representing something bigger than football, which is perhaps more important than a football robbery. yes. or this very, very important observation there. england will be playing at home. is that likely to work in their favor? do you think i think so, 40000 and fines are expected in the stadium so that can only be a boost, especially in type games, which is likely what this will be germany and i've always had close games and they've played each other so i can only work doing the advantage, however, must also be said in a fight, most of the games, all of their games for that matter at home. so there is a settlement of pressure to be involved here as well. you know, the expectation of delivering at home in a major tournament is that we've heard a lot about football coming home. well, it is tomorrow night. but the question is,
7:15 am
for how long? you know, there's a little bit of risk here too for anyone involved. we know that the german chance will go american. she's asked fans not to travel to london because of the risk of the delta variant. what measures are in place to stop the spread of the virus because of the game? well, every find needs to have a ticket. i need the proof proof, excuse me, of negative test or proof of full vaccination, which is perhaps a standard procedure. but what i found most interesting was that face or mouth coverings are required, but not medical mosques. so the f, f p 2 months that are most common in germany for example, are not necessarily the standard. you just need something to cover your face and mouth. so that is perhaps a concern. i think generally having 40000 people in the stadium, which is that increased capacity from the group stages is also a concern. so there are some questions to be asked about whether this is a good idea after all. and jonathan, before we let you go, it is prediction time with yes,
7:16 am
showed the clairvoyant elephant. so who is she going for this time? wait for it's there you go out of the drug is germany. yes. he lives in hamburg z, you know, ready, correctly predicted the results of germany's last 3 years. 2020 games. i mean, you may have to trust in the task. so job, and do you agree with this elephant? well, you're soto might be yoda when it comes to predicting football, but i think the forces within it we will see the w correspond jonathan already yet . where be jonathan? thank you. the well imagine the early summer temperatures you've always know now as a heat wave that doubles those temperatures, it is extreme and it's reality for large parts of the united states and canada. at
7:17 am
the moment. in one village in canada's british columbia, the temperature reached nearly 47 degrees celsius at the weekend. that's a 116 degrees fahrenheit. the average maximum temperature there for late june is 19 degrees celsius. 67 degrees fahrenheit, the cooling due to beat the summer heat. residence sticks of the water assessor mama rose above 40 degrees celsius in seattle for the 1st time ever. yeah. hi. i mean, you just stand around and they're like i you can breathe so hard 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. very few times that we do close the market early,
7:18 am
most of the time of which we've ever had to close the market earlier because i know that because of the heat, i think is the 1st time we've ever closed early because the temperature is 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. and for more now, i'm joined by david phillips. he is a climb itala. jesse join me tonight from toronto, the cool side of canada. at the moment, miss phillips is good to have you on the program. when you look at these high
7:19 am
temperatures and the western parts of canada in the united states, tell me how much of this is extreme weather and how much of this is climate change? you know, brett, it's always the question that comes up anytime you get a monster. hurricane, a super typhoon, a heat wave of forest fire, people always say coming out of our candle pipes and smokestacks. well, you know, i think it's, we know that climate change doesn't create a heat waves or hurricanes or major storms, but it contributes to it. you know, these heat waves are like our grandparents cheap way occurred before. but what's different about the bread is the intensity of them be the statistics up and the character personality, the nature of the way. they're not all the same. this one is much earlier than we've ever seen before. typically in western canada,
7:20 am
we see the warm temperatures occur the end of july, the beginning of august. this is in june when it's typically not the warmest time. we're seeing the area of the sprawling from the arctic circle right down to the desert. so west and, and know escaping it and with record breaking and we just broke a record of the for 84 years. yeah. and so i think that what time it changed does it just sort of wraps it up? it's sort of like the steroids for weather and, and so therefore it makes it systems bigger and better, and, and more impactful. and so i think the degree, the elements of this heat wave are clearly has human dna, but it's not the total costs. but as we move forward, if we look into the future, should we be calculating more heat waves like this? to be a part of the weather. and she would be talking about a new normal when we talk about normal weather. well, clearly it's brad. i mean,
7:21 am
there's no question about it. we, what you see is what you're going to get. it's a forecast for the future. and likely we will see breaking or record record stand for it for one or 2 more days. or else maybe 2 years, not 84 years. and so my sense is that clearly get used to it. this is the new norm . this is the kind of weather event that we'll see more often, especially in a country like canada. i mean, we're the 2nd coldest country in the world. we're the snow us country, the world people come and ask about windshield and polar vortex and, and frost bite. it's not these, these incredible desert, like temperatures. and so for us, where we don't have air conditioning to speak up in the west, or even our buildings are not set up to shed the heat, is because it's a real dangerous situation historically unprecedented. but from a public health point of view, it is quite, quite a hit. and so i think the,
7:22 am
the lesson is here more of a stronger, more intense heat. that is the forecast going ahead. and what's your advice to people living, for example, in vancouver or in the united states and seattle in those cities? air conditioning has traditionally been taboo. and now, i mean, am i right in assuming it's mainstream, you're going to need it if you want to survive. oh, i think it's artificial cooling that is going to clearly be the the but you can't buy an air conditioner or a fan in, in all the west coast of canada. and so that's going to be more it's going to be owns, are going to be built with built in air conditioning. i mean, and that of course, can make it worse because it can create more, more energy needs and, and that could wrap it up more. i mean, it's like a vicious cycle in a way, so i think people are trying to adjust to it. my best advice is to put off today,
7:23 am
which you can do next week. i mean, it's going to come to annette up, but clearly the people who are most affected by this are the elderly infants that don't perspire as well. and they have poor circulation, the homeless people, we're already seeing cooling centers are hoping longer and hydrating sectors. even industry is closing down because of the, the heat at the day. so it's something that is just not factored into our, our plans in our strategies, but it's going to have to be going ahead. this is a lesson to, to learn. this is not something that is just a one off, it's going to be something that's going to be very much part of of the new climate here in, in canada. yeah, the 21st century climate. definitely not. 20th century anymore. mr. david phillips, senior climate ologist for environment and climate change. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank you. press the,

the official death toll from that condo building collapsing. your miami has risen to 10 with more than 100. 50 people. still missing. rescue were say they have not given up hope of finding more survivors in the rubble. why the 12 story building collapsed is unknown, but a former building worker says the foundations were frequently flooded with sea water. as a precaution, inspections have been ordered for all nearby high rise buildings that are 40 years and older. the start of the south africa going to in with south africa where the sardine fever has broken out. once a year, millions of sardines swim along the country's coast, followed by birds. sharks and fishermen rushing to get their share of the catch. our very own correspondent adrian creek decided to do some fishing himself. this isn't an oil leak. it's a shoal of sardines fishermen. gerald michael and his team. a waiting for this one
7:25 am
. okay. yeah, that was within seconds. everything suddenly gets very hectic. one for one. got a call thought in view. everybody's got to run and shot. yeah, yes more. yeah, right. every year between june and august, the saudi and move along the east coast of south africa following the cold currents in the indian ocean. bigger hungry fish, follow them. and so do the fisherman, the clothes, other shoals of sardines gets to the coast, the better the chances of catch leather pocket of audience. the thing on the right
7:26 am
is huge disappointment when the net gets caught in rigs. most of the sardines get away. rough put of course it off with a few kilometers further on. another team has more like throw in catches 150 crates worth of sardines in a net 2 thirds of the fish i sold for more than 2000 years. the rest goes to the team, they took a chance to gamble and paid off. and like you can see the novice about the edge. you know, the game is very dangerous. as you can see. having to myself, i had a cable go through molig. and that's the name of the game. we play with shocks, rocks net, rough seas, everything. bucks, if you can get the fish,
7:27 am
you can make some money. for jerrold, bako and his team, the 1st thing to do is repair the nets. and then go home, empty handed bed, the bed. 3 bad luck. got everybody suppose and they get according to buckle. saudi fever should be around for a few more weeks. to be starting, all right, today is almost done with the conversation continues online, you'll find us on twitter either at the w news, you can follow me and bring got tv and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day. we'll see you then everybody who's the news

promising partners rich profit. in europe, there's a sharp warning you why wherever accepts money from the new superpower will become dependent on in china. gateway year starts july 1st on d, w. ah ah, water is fundamental to life without a to me wouldn't exist. neither would the plants, animals, and other organisms to 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,
7:31 am
and i'm sorry about left off into menard at the height of the dry season. many districts in the southern steed expedients, extremely high water stress. historically, mother i district doctored with water tanks was prepared to deal with this. but rapid obligation 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 route 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 filled several containers at once. there are strict rules about what a collection from the bond niana outside isn't allowed to use the pond. no
7:32 am
one is allowed to submit to washington. no dogs are allowed, not even livestock, like how's? the village organizes its water use. it says tanks to an organization called a ton foundation, development of human action. don has religious regarding centuries old tradition gulker mortimer to a system of community management negation tanks. corey means people murmur to 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 everybody's on the people here have always depended on the water bodies using phones for drinking interrogation tanks. so farming that people use the income from them as a community funds to restore and maintain the water bodies model. and this,
7:33 am
according 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 month and season throughout the you got my report about them when this integration tech is 1300 you know, want to keep the nearby land. arable lusgate disposition in money, usually positioned on the river bank on my own. luckily i got i want, i got a but if it's in the one that doesn't cave in a low single to go to the silt from the reaches the field loaner the night time. and on the way i got to go into the new one of them, you know, why a little more? what am i the people in charge of the maintenance of the irrigation time and gone unknown as water manages. they also decide who get how much water and when it's a challenging job, give up on the,
7:34 am
on the lot. i might not be hearing sloth. they have to swim on the waters and remove the stones at the bottom of the dam alone and dug all about him. otherwise, the water can't flow through the outlet into the field water from england, not already, not so many times a whirlpool occurs. and people who go into the water to open the slim cause i'm not going to go put on 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 a water collection points, but as 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
7:35 am
locals plan and organized the restoration of was an irrigation tons. shouldering 25 percent of the costs themselves. the risk is funded by the n g o. over the last 3 decades, why our loved ones are far more associations have restored nearly 1200 deformed turns in the bomb. but region, this farmer, recall the early days of the project, me a lot of 996. we paid money to work on 2 tanks. we transformed a huge wasteland into inebriation. it's still in, you know, it's a community tank on the god. is it even now? cultivated despite the hush, some of the old integration tank in crumbles is again brimming with water. the farmers in the region. dennis, how in the not so distant past, it was badly dilapidated until the 2. 0, yeah. usually we saw in january to the harvest, we didn't have
7:36 am
a water in the field, barren, a lot of yellow. 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 i was wondering when my phones known as ronnie also supplied drinking water to remote villages. the modern i municipal cooperation in the bomb bar basin that one's house more than 90. ronnie's currently only has $21.00 left. many of the older tanks and on these are garbage dumps to deep or have been repo post by the government or private industry. because these existing structures suit the regions topography, the don initiative has warp the restore, close to $300.00 to run his income and well then the oldness village run
7:37 am
a usually small but after restoration is bigger and deeper, 3 times as much water as they used to be and it never runs dry together with locals. god has helped transform the water system in some photos and villages using traditional methods to improve the future of 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 steer or more convenient wise 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 is among the most common pollutants around was. but all countries have been struggling to contain germany. think of crack the course. was other countries around the world.
7:38 am
and then that's the solution. the last in crisis, the dreaded plastic bottle that's come to symbolize disastrous impact on the planet is really bad. around the world every day, almost 1500000 prospects. germany is killed as having the best system. the system is caused as an overarching trans henrietta schneider is from environmental action, germany which studies and footboards the fund or deposit return system for plastic and glass bottles. so that the deposit system works really well to close to 0 units of beverage packaging. and actually in the
7:39 am
state and the environment and that's, that's really causes keeping plastic and glass out of nitro is one of the main reasons. the german government introduced a 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 costs. they sell the buffering to wholesalers, retailers who sell it on to the consumer. when consumers have drunk their drinks, i'm doing my money. they carried them to the store. one of the countries 48000 diverse vending machines these except most kinds of booking. ah
7:40 am
famous places 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 refilled and sold again. the refill about plastic bottles can we use up to 20 times on glass models? can we use up to 50 times in germany in the remaining a single use bottles? these have around double the deposit cost built in with the hope the customers would be disincentive. eyes from buying them. the problem of single use bottles is that best they can be recycled, which uses a lot of energy and reduces the value only a quarter and that the new bottles are. those are downside linda fibers all the
7:41 am
material exported or simply burned even considering the collection, washing and transport that refilled those require each single use body can have more than double the carbon footprint of re fillable one over its lifetime. one reason the deposit 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 to lead a 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 the plastic was the like with failure that would replace fragile glass bottles,
7:42 am
me when environmental risk and firms different governments tried to contain the mess and different ways from schemes like producer b as to the green dots system. germany's environment minister at the time you're going to teen the side of the country need something more radical. so against resistance from beverages obvious including court challenges. he said to these deposit system, the decision was full was received and he was so proud that in this fight dig a d. j. he calls himself doesn't fond in a deposit. 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 very cheap lightweight, so they prices are quite low. the plastic is true, it's lightweight. so you only pay for the production of john,
7:43 am
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 scheme and some states in the u. s. and austria, i experimenting with it on a local level. other countries like indonesia and i could have tried different methods, including extracting plastic bottles from boston. it's 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 on the you said, the plastic lobby still plays a big role, installing such decisions. and was we have seen if they have been opposing as well in production of new deposit systems best a proposal from the government. the last committee and the night before the vote needs to get the phone call from industrial entities. and the proposal will be

the collection. the collection that they should be in india is what most of the ways to get it. but the problem is most of it gets collected in an informal wish collect does play a large role in south and southeast asia and africa when they pick out plastic some on segregated ways. it is often contaminated, which means it's recycling value. and the amount that can be recycled, a significantly lowered 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 the initial objective of moving towards

a green or system research shows that since 2003, the share of plastic refill above 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 with 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 create 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. please and cities that offer locked in the middle of concrete and store and need extra k that are more than 400000 trees in germany's capital city

bullying. and some of its residents have developed a project to make sure they're looked after water at last. berlin has experienced 3 years of below average rainfall, and the trees are dying out. 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 dying 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 happen next again before i'm house. relation is a project based at berlin city lab, set up the neighborhood watering initiative online and doing 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. given, you know, this map contains more than 625000 tree points. we could even reach 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 behind the diameter of the crown, the diameter of the trunk. it's really exciting, especially in terms of watering. that's almost 2000 berliners have registered so far. some of them just water trees occasionally. others have taken responsibility for a single tree on their street. or land has 2500 parks there. the

green lungs of the city, the trees improve the climate and filter out exhaust dimension, and more people are becoming aware of their importance. there are now several environmental initiatives in berlin, this neighborhood in place back as a regular gardener. today there's bruising up the flowerbeds and planting bulbs for next year's flowers. we're in this together, regardless of where we come from. it's a global environment. so we planted flowers and different sorts of things to have a healthy environment to be. and above all, we just like getting all these people together to do something together that 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.

someone comes off and put city, 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 can, 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 road blockers crossed people universally frown upon having to consume 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

jellies, 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. and what your biggest problem in deli today is the availability of clean water 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 can, you can, you populate ation is occurring rapidly and with it, the demand for water is rising just as fast can requirements and these other ones could help solve the problem. that part of the facility designed to transform waste torso 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 their rivers. the new

method aims to change that. to 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 smell it in your while, you're being, you know, we were having a stomach issue. we were having infections and all that kind of stuff. so it was about what can one do about this, and i've seen kids playing in wood, 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 plus, right in west daily run on solar power. the absolute water facility generates
7:53 am
100000 gauges of clean potable water each day and helps clean up the rivers. sewage is collected from surrounding districts and 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 sa nielsen guy, who was a chemical engineer. politically, the thing exists, some people have 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, i experience this to minus couple of degrees that for example,
7:54 am
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 sewage, 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 and water every hour of the technology is expensive to install, but it's was ition is offset by lower running costs compared to conventional sewage treatment plant, whole s t p 's. the most important thing is the operational cost, which currently in the market we are the cheapest one. each on part of the conventional sep, the other most important part is that being green we,
7:55 am
we are not subject to very heavy equipment. so therefore, i like the, the cost transaction is the lowest. so all in all, it's a full sustainable green system and it is going to be cyclical, as i call it, absolute voltage, various facilities. now treat some 3000000 liters of sewage daily. that's just a small portion of what deli produces. still, the firm's found as a 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. i live with that taught and see we'll get next week from all of us in india and germany, goodbye. and thanks for watching the,
