[000:00:00;00] the who's this is the w news lies from berlin. fears, grow all the food shortages in south africa. at the armrest, rages on mars, looting his supply chains as rises, ransacked, stores and clash with police. well then, certainty have been killed in the violence spot where the jailing of ex presidents jacobs also coming up flames in gulf, the united states west more than 60 while as far as raging as a brutal heat waves parts of larger areas of the us,

firefighters. the blazes are getting bigger, global warming makes the drive belts worse and a digital currency for europe. the use central bank has announced its plans today, but will consumers and businesses accept electronic heroes? looking back at a special relationship at john and chancellor michael time and office near his end, former us president george w bush speaks exclusively to g w of all her legacy and america has gone with germany. ah, i'm going to have of welcome to the program. fears all the food and fuel shortages are growing in south africa as looting and violence raged for a 6 day authority. se hospitals are running out of oxygen, drugs,

and food as rioting disrupt supply chains. more than 70 people have been killed in some of the worst violence the country has seen and is following the jailing of former president jacob's duma, this warehouse in durban was ransacked by hundreds of people. the shelves empty. the goods carried out in bulk. it is only one of dozens of moles supermarkets and small shops that were targeted by looters, like this party supplies, chop and so widow over and over going over his side. oh, banks, money. i'm not going to pay this one with what in some instances aren't local residents went after the looters themselves, the governments and soldiers the most effected areas. as police struggled to

control the unrest. the current situation on the ground is under strong service and will ensure that it does not deter ridge any further. that cannot allow anyone to make a mockery of our democratic state. the protest started last week. after 4 months, south african president jacob's duma began serving a 15 month jail term. he was sentenced for contempt of court after refusing to appear at a corruption inquiry. the outrage of zoom of supporters was compounded by anger over persisting inequality and poverty in the country. of a more on their story. let's cross over to do the w, correspond christine moon, by standing by in cape town for us to see what's the current situation across the country. well gay, hard in the 2 effects that provinces in helping and inquisitive natal looting

continues overnight, more buildings with safe life, people waking up to blowing smoke from a number of sites. we know that more than 1200 people has been arrested. it is also been reported that in a location in johannesburg that has been helping a body was discovered inside a shopping mall with the looting had been taking place because we understand that they have been some stampedes as people, the crowds, that meeting and forties are being discovered as the police and the official scholar through some of the sites, they are also concerns now about racial tensions clearing up in this country. that is because in the absence of law enforcement, you now have the civilians arm to civilians, guarding and defending their own property. taking the law innocence into their own hands. and of course there are concerns about the breakout extensions between the black and white communities, black in indian communities,

in these 2 provinces. we also know that in a number of vaccine sites i've had to be shattered. so the vaccine rollout has been effected, but also we're learning that there are probably going to be food shortages coming up in the country across the country. now in the coming days because of the disruptions that to the supply chains in these 2 provinces. gearhart, well, these people actually lose small shops, they can't all just the resume. i support. there must be something else behind it. that's right. when this outbreak was 1st broke out, it was clear that you know, zooming, supporters were saying we're going to shut down the country. and so the president is freed. by now you have thousands of people in these 2 provinces, looting shops, taking basic items. a lot of these people are very much under privileged as south africans who have been pushed into poverty because of the pandemic and the restrictions that have followed. but there is that the suspicion here that at the

3rd floor as it is being cold yet is at plate that these poor masses are being mobilized at that they are being instigated and propped by certain individuals. now we know that the states as security minutes to say that they are investigating for my intelligence officials that are linked to jacob zoom and that might be stoking at the people. so we know that we have a lot of unemployment and inequality in this country. a lot of people just taking the opportunity to get something for themselves, but you also find that among the people with more sinister motives, people who are doing the burning, the destruction. because this is what people on the macapp promised. so you've heard officials warned against people who are mobilizing the poor and taking advantage of these masses that have proven so easily to be mobilized. did this christine manuel, reporting from cape town there? thank you. christie wildfires are ravaging parts of the western united states,

forcing hundreds to leave their homes. the blazes have been made worse by record heat waves and has killed more than 50 people in the state of oregon alone. many scientists are pointing the finger at global warming, which is set to be fueling a drought that has turned large parts of the us into a tinderbox. the oregon, like fire is the largest of nearly 60 active wildfires, currently burning across the western united states. the extent of the blades can be seen best from above. it now covers an area larger than that of new york city, forcing residence in its path to evacuate their homes. this is my 1st wildfire, and i will tell you a scary not to make you cry age enough to make your stomach. because you don't know if you're going to be the one that uses or house or you sit there and watch me or lose their house and there's nothing you can do about it. many have have to take

refuge in shelters like this. while the fires have been found fun, extreme heat wave, with temperatures reaching 47 degrees celsius, the heat alone has proven deadly. at least 54 people have died from hot weather in oregon alone. over the last few weeks. the age range is from $4897.00 with an average age of 70. so that affirms what we know, which is that holder older individuals are at higher risk of heat related illness. the majority of them died alone and without air conditioning. scientists offer little consolation, they see a direct link between climate change and he was that of fueling these extreme fires . while these fires are raging, european commission is today presenting what's being seen as the wholesome business pockets of climate legislation ever. they fit for $55.00 program is a package of

a dozen policies and cutting the use greenhouse gas emissions by 55 percent by the year 2013. if the legislation is passed it will give a major booster renewable energy. it will also have wide ranging effects on how your opinions live, including what type of cause they will be allowed to buy in the future and how they have to heat their homes. critic say they will put a heavy financial burden on citizens, especially in poor countries. environmental activists has criticize the package of not going fine. us for more this, let's not speak to john postcard from the purcell is professor of climate and environmental sciences at the university of hoover in belgium. are you convinced the you will be able to reach the parents climate goals with this package of proposals? well, the package has not been fully known yet. so let's see. at least,

i mean the u. s. on the, on the, on the right track, you know, if cabin neutrality is needed by 2050, at the latest, the pcc has indicated 2 years ago. probably even more than what will be presented today will be needed. but it's a very important still, but you countries will have to agree on these proposals, but they're far from united. that poland, for example, relies on coal, france on nuclear energy. do you expect to put proposals to get watered down? well that's, that's, that's in the race kemi. and what will be presented said to thee anytime now is a proposal by the commission. and it's a very ambitious package. we know that on some aspects of this proposal, unanimity is needed among the member states and set the need that will be resistance from some quarters. so we will see if the ends the west. i agree,

this is sufficiently ambitious. yeah. do you think that major emitters of c, o 2, such as china, india, or the us will follow follow the use lead on this? well, you know, in a sense, slowly i think everybody is starting to understand that there is no choice. i mean, it's not a question of you leading of these are china leading on this. we are all in evidence of the only a bit of a planet into solar system. so we all need to act in the same direction. do you, china, the us, brazil, every big meter is really needed because otherwise we're not doing to solve the problem. so what, what do you say to those who are worried that they might lose that jobs because the industries go down or that everything is going to be very expensive?

well, that's a key aspect that needs to be looked at. if we don't have, if we don't want to have a lot of resistance against climate measures, we need what's called the a just transition. and i'm happy that in the packets that hopefully will be present that officially soon by the commission days, a social facility that will be funded with money coming from the european trading system. and this social facility is meant to reduce and really limits the impact of those measures that those measures might have on, on, on the pool. so that this, despite though the becket is really important to us, got plenty purcell, professor of climate and environmental sciences. i belgium catholic university in luba. thank you. you're welcome. have

a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today for democracy. protesters in me on my have held a brief flash mob demonstration against the military regime about 50 protesters and the ongoing charms with military slogan and show the 3 finger protests, the loose flash mob south of face the mouth ministration. earlier in the year after the military's deadly practice in paris, some 10000 spectators were allowed to watch the annual military grade to mark francis bus the day president manuel calling presided over the significantly scale down national day celebrations on the shore in heavy rain and strong winds are causing flooding across parts of western and central europe. one man is missing in the german state of saxony. under this officer, le has been issued in the hall county near the border with a check republic, metrology,

expect more heavy rain and thunder storms in the coming days. done. johnson, uncle america will meet president joe biden to morrow in washington, and what will be her final visit to the u. s. as german chancellor biden is the 4th us leader that america has worked alongside in her 16 years as leader of germany. her 1st george w. bush that he admired her love of freedom, they bonded over grills, bore and visits to bush ranch in texas. then came barack obama. they grew close over his ideas in office though they didn't agree on everything. they shared common views on issues such as climate change, human rights and security, and then came back of the toughest test. donald trump's erotic and pugnacious style contracted with miracles, quietly spoken approach. they clashed publicly and privately throughout his turn. now is prepared to meet her for us, lead at w, washington bureau chief in his pool, sat down with former president george

w bush to get his view of her legacy. bush rally gives interviews any more, but in viceti w. two's summer home in maine to discuss now called key moments. see also said the withdrawal of us an allied forces from us gone to start after a war. started under his leadership is a mistake. if you would write the history books, what would be your paragraph about america on merkel brought clash and dignity to a very important position and made very hard decisions. i bet a legacy about merkle was there. a lot of girls who watch on the la merkel say i too can have a position of responsibility and power fungal metrics relationship is let me put it is somewhat special. sometimes is really close. sometimes it's more confrontational . how do you see her relationship? how did you see it when you were in office?

well, 1st of all, i fully understood the importance of russia to germany. i mean, foods got a big influence and he speaks german and, and i want, you know, he's wiley and it can be pretty tough. and so can i go so i wasn't worried about food running over at merkle like she she, you know her own. and i'm sure she did talking about difficult relation relationships. what triggered medical in donald trump and cause the house reaction . he was refused, shaking her head. i don't know. i don't know. that was just a, not a good period in german or us relations. and i don't know. i don't, i don't know. donald trump. i met him one time at the very same funeral. then i feel a miracle game too. and so it's hard for me to guess. why am i germany is a very close ally and a very important friend. germany is really important for europe and, and germany is got

a lot of sway in terms of helping shape kind of world opinion on key issues. and therefore, it makes sense for your us presser to be close to the german chancellor. some people criticize her over her politics with china, saying that like the trade with, with this country is more important for her than human rights. i don't know, i'm father that closely, but that's going to be a dilemma for everybody. and in china is certainly a problem for the western world, because not only are they becoming an industrial competitor, but they are pretty autocratic. what's your take on her reaction when she didn't close the borders and led in like a 1000000 or so? yeah. you know, my 1st reaction was there's a one with a big heart, and i'm sure she was motivated by human compassion. and you know, it was i, it was clearly

a tough political decision for her. but she took a lead. look, i made a lot of tough decisions too, and i hope when people look at my record as president, they say he did what he thought was right and started to ground. and so i admired i admire her steadfastness and uncle is not afraid to make a decision was not afraid to lead. and the world needs leadership that has based upon principal, she was supportive of troops in afghanistan by the way. and one of the reasons why is because she saw the progress that could be made for young girls and women in afghan instead is unbelievable. that society changed from the brutality of the taliban. and all of a sudden, sadly, i'm afraid i have gained women and girls are going to suffer. unspeakable harm is a mistake. so withdrawal, i, you know, i think it is. yeah,

i think because i think the consequences are going to be unbelievably bad. and i'm sad and i spent a lot and i spent a lot of time with afghan women and, and they're scared. and i think about all the interpreters and people that help not only us troops, nato troops. and they're just, it seems like there's, you can be left behind to be slaughtered by the very brutal people and it breaks my heart. there is one image, the world remembers of you and i'm going to america that's, that's a d, a meeting in saint petersburg when you were massaging her shoulder. and i walk by again where yeah, i wouldn't call it an extended massage. i'd call it a. yeah, i mean, she was here is kind of a spontaneous reflection of friendship. and i'm sure people didn't know what to make of it. i didn't mind right. those kind of i thought it was said that wow this and that can, i don't know. yeah,

i mean one of those things that just happened. it certainly was scripted. did you ever talk with her about it? no, no, but if i need to go, i'm sorry i did that and put in the public spotlight, but on the other hand, is a reflection of my, my friendship with you. and we'll be broadcasting the full interview with george w bush here on t w. throughout the day, you can also watch it on our youtube channel. w documentary. digital currency have so far proven populace courageous investors and cyber criminals, but they seem to be going mainstream. today they are a p and central bank is giving the green lights to its own electronics currency was formally introduce the digital euro would have the same value as cash. all the money and bank accounts will be issued by the european central bank or national central banks. to private persons and companies, e euro would deposit, would probably be kept at

a value to run around $3000.00 euros. that's to effect the digital coin. could make the e, c, b, a competitor to banks. but a survey by germany's central bank says most consumers here would reject the digital the euro of a half of household se they see no benefit over count payment methods, and are worried about security now that speak to daniel winter from d. w is a business department. daniel, are you surprised? the germans don't like the idea of a digital euro, of course, or not surprising, pretty much every cutting edge technology is like 15 years behind in germany. i mean, you can't even pay the vending machine with a credit card in job and you can everywhere else. pain, britain, this kind of thing. but that's actually an important question for the e. c. b as they go into this investigation phase because they need it to be accepted by a wide range of european denny. what exactly has the e c b announced today and why are they doing this? ok, so it's not the starting gun quite yet, but they are actually making this digital euro and putting it through its paces for

2 years. they're going to go through this kind of research phase. they call it investigation phase. after the initial research, they asked if you'd like that mix and things like that before they got started today, and they say they see no major obstacles to the digital euros. so that's a good stop. and in the end, they want to make something which is, you know, riskless accessible and efficient. just like me, i'd say, you know, but this is that they the, in the end what, what christine, the god says she sent out a tweet. today she said the digital age people should continue to have access to the safest form of money, central bank money because what they really scared of in the end you see be, is that the digital you, one for example, which china is working on could come over here, if it gains acceptance, it could theoretically, in the disaster situation, replace the euro. that is, you know, worst case scenario, but that is something they need to be ready for. but also the acceptance of big coin lot of people in europe investing in big coins. so that they're seeing the advantages of these digital currencies and thinking, okay, do we need to get ahead of the game here?

so you mentioned bitco and as far as is the, the e euro or whatever it's going to be called different to bit client. ok. well, it will be centralized in where it's issued. so just as the c b issues cache right now, that will happen to that doesn't happen with big con, it's completely distributed and done with mining through computers and, and number crunching. that's how you get a big coin. and so the c b also even highlighted in the, in the paper today saying that it's going to be much more environmentally friendly than bitcoin. so yes, and obviously if it gains much wider acceptance because it is safe and secure, that will be a clear advantage as well over there and talk about the advantages. what are the advantages for both businesses and for you and me? well, i mean, you can imagine if you own a local shop or a cafe every time someone comes in with a credit card, you got to pay some kind of percentage to get that payment processed. well, this will be just like a bank account transaction. it should be free, you should be able to just get the money sent directly to you instantly. so that's

a big advantage for many businesses and also for people as well as a surprising amount of people in europe who don't have a bank account here that will be able to get one free and easy by the european central bank. this of course has also also has its critics. and what are they saying? well, they're basically saying, okay, won't this push normal banks out? so if you can just get a bank account with the e. c b, where does the normal by what it's know, the normal bank step in there. this is going to be the factors that this consultation phase for the next 2 years is going to look. because the last thing you want to do is to make bankers angry with you. i think that's more or less than that. europe has led over the past decade or so. so they will be looking to see what they can do to get that on track. over the next few years we'll, you'll get an electronic wallet and i'll give it a try. i'll you know what, i'm on the cutting edge on like many people in germany, i just went to d w a business. thank you very much for your welcome explanation. and some sports

news. while the taliban are gaining ground in afghanistan, assume alleys out of is preparing to compete. tokyo 2024000000000 pic refugee team, 254 year old cyclists wants to be a beacon of hope for women who have been forced to give up their sporting dreams. cycling has become awesome. i'll leave that as passport to liberty. back in august and cycling is very difficult for women to practice that i was constantly attacked both physically and verbally, and some family members urged her to give up her sporting rains. but she didn't. and in 2017, her family claimed asylum in france, said to compete and tokyo on the refugee team that wants to represent more than just the team sip up. it's not just for me, it's for all the women in afghanistan and all the women in countries like afghan is damn where they're not allowed to write a bike. it will be,

no money down does the voices, the only way i can be on top is to create my own the feed, their house standing stories in women in asia this weekend on d. w. me the me the hello and welcome to echo africa. whitley environmental magazine produce illegal compiler on berlin. i am christa lens and legal. i'm being joined by my colleague sandra held a piece on the pillows everyone out there. very glad to help you with us. again. i

am sandra tino view coming to you from compiler. here in uganda, today we'll be looking innovative bumble houses in the area and plenty of other interesting stories here, how months this is helping almost in one particular life will also see the house of african learn on it. come get a tough break viper to environment and find out why you've done and foremost we thought the show in the democratic republic of congo. i country often modern conflict as a result for a long time little attention to say to the environment. but that is starting to change, we went to a who is a bigger national park, where people i know devoting time and effort to protecting the nature of it. not only is the good for the tropical forest, but the local people and the widely to which includes good

news. this family of gorillas lives in a tropical forest. they don't get nervous when people are nearby melinta back and we are now in co who's the be a good national park. and right now we're in the presence of monsieur bon. any monsieur bonner, ne, members of this fam pointed dame weekend to be so who's a, be a national park is a national conservation area. the democratic republic of congo, the gross or eastern lo land guerrillas having a major choice attraction for decades. the main source of income for the park are the admission fees for visitors pay $400.00 us dollars each because of the pandemic . there's no visitors right now,

but the ranges still go out on patrol. they want to keep track of several gorilla truce and usually know where to find them. even though the pump is huge. it covers 6000 square kilometers. so vs device for each family of gorillas, canada, and point one to the forest and to check on them. we also collect the data, and if we find chimpanzee tracks, we report back to see if we find evidence of illegal activities, such as travel, we dismantle them and coordinate. and i said that you're probably going to days is be used for scientific research. the number of low land guerrillas here has declined by hoff over the past 3 decades to just a few 1000 research as estimates. the ranges with plummets ologist are gotten back to both say he has promised expertise. a non profit dedicated to promote research

and conservation. he says poachers in their traps on a continuing threat. this guerrilla is lucky to be alive. here we see the silver back mcgrew bucket. when he was 4 years old, he was caught in a snare, and unfortunately he lost his right hand. but despite that hearing is and he's with his family funny, my good, the rages, not only petrol the park to collect data, but they're also on the look out for poachers. that's why they lose what it is that we have security issues in some parts of the park. there are poachers out there every day. and the rangers tried to track them down. people from the surrounding community also sometimes damage the park. they cut down trees or bamboo. what you'll find in the park is a unesco world heritage site. but this part of the eastern

d r. c is densely populated and there's no buffer zone between the park avenue by villages. people live in the meat of the city, some work and plantations or in the park, but most are small hold of farmers. premise, expertise not only seeks to show conservation of the guerrillas, but also to improve the livelihood of local communities. it is also launched a project to replant areas of forest, but having cleared a legally, almost impossible, se, says working closely with local people is very important. he hopes they will come to cancel the environment as much as they respect. we'll go, we'll go to the west system for some time now, and we'll go, luca has been seen much more often at the edge of the park. consider what pleases us as scientists, conservationist is that the communities respect me,

go to like nobody has been throwing stones at him or threatening him, even though we often see him passing from their field at around 100 villages opposite basing and the reforestation projects a project that will help preserve the forest for the good of the guerrillas and the local population. let us know, apart from preserving weighed life on the forests to producing good sustainable housing. africa was big cities are crowded, some overcrowded in a weekly series, doing your beat. we meet on a jury an entropy new inc and do know who builds houses from a material phone there in abundance. the, the nigerian population is rapidly growing. and with the need for affordable housing. deborah, him,

somebody who came up with the idea that he construct ounces and due to made entirely of bamboos, which grows naturally in the area the most like this last longer than a house built with ordinary wood. my spam bu is better when it comes to withstand clubs and erosion, and you and your family can live in a house like this for a very long time without having to worry. that is my last. yeah. and then i went to them and then boom, which is actually a woody grass, is strong, light, and environmentally friendly. that grows incredibly quickly without having to be planted after harvest is much cheaper than most other construction materials. but it should be treated or leached to eliminate the ability to insect attacks and whether where not all bamboo varieties have the same quality. but if a suitable variety is used, abraham still says

a sizable house can be built in less than 20 days. and how about you? if you are also doing your bit, tell us about it, visit our website sports and to so tweak the hash tag doing your bit. we share your stores. here's a note to one of the one key environmental troublemaker slattich every year. around point 25000000 pounds the read ends up in ocean. that's what the fuck old every single minutes you've plastic consumption continues to live on. the present rate will be discarding. so truckloads, minutes within the next 10 years, and 4 percent by 2050. why is this happening? one reason is that only a small proportion of plastic with this recycled another is that around half of all

plus the goes the product that i use just once and then through the weight. now some young german activists are cleaning up local rivers and working with scientists to calculate how much a plastic and stop in to see an idyllic location on the who river in west, in germany bus take a closer look. and it's not as beautiful kevin noah and the exhaust nights have come to do some fishing, but not the usual kind. it's trash. they're fishing for, plays, listen everywhere they look. and there's plenty of plastic. oak, quite a few glass bottles to the students attend to local high school and are taking part in an initiative called plastic pirates. it's a research project where young students get to do the work of real scientists. they take water samples and measure counts and record the pieces of trash. they

recovered from the rivers and river that scientists in queue use the data to generate a garbage map of german rivers and calculate how much trash ends up in the sea. the teachers are happy to do their part to inspire the budding scientists. yeah. it's something i care about myself. it always bothers me when i see people leaving rubbish behind, especially when they have small children with them and are supposed to be setting an example. the work of the plastic pirates shows that on average, one piece of trash can be found for every 2 square meters of river bank in germany . france also has a project aimed at tracking down the trench. it's called plastic origins and goes a step further, using artificial intelligence and an app. we want to move it as much as grown and citizens as we can, to go on the re beth,

so you can create data actually getting working with the bank. and using those data, using the video page, there are 2 of the real banks. we will be able to analyze video detect liter items and use the data to map prevail, plastic pollution. the aim of plastic origins is to get stricter legislation introduced on plastic waste and regulatory limits for the amount of plastic in european rivers. vacovich. mac is intended to identify especially polluted areas. we, we know that most of the pollution we find in the ocean is transported by a rigorous right now. we don't know which read us the most permitted, but it's pretty one. but the app contract micro plastics in germany alone, full kilos of micro plastics per person per year end up in the environment. the

main sources particles from vehicle tires, industrial waste, and household garbage. it's difficult for waste water treatment plans to filter out the tiny particles. but munich, stones have called echo zario is showing how it can be done using a simple but effective method. this is how it works. the waste water is pumped into the filter. a powerful vertex is generated in the pipe, putting the water containing most of the micro plastics to the top. the company says 95 percent of micro plastics for municipalities and industry could be filtered out in this way. the young plastic pirates agree that more needs to be done to combat plastic solution after just 2 hours and this idyllic location, they found more trash than they can even carry. now we had to solve africa to find out how the tax break helps to promote conservation. the country is famous for its

wide life and vast areas of almost on pause land. and then geo that come up with a way to encourage people to set up your reserves on the property. 88 percent of land in south africa is not suitable for agriculture. it's too rugged to dry and chew uneven. but everywhere you look, you see life in abundance. the country boasts rich biodiversity. but how best to preserve it in south africa, environmental protection is chronically under financed. me. that's where kansas stevens comes in. she's a tech specialist at the n g o wilderness foundation, africa. she wants to encourage landowners to turn their holdings into nature reserves. the government offers

a tax incentive to do so. i don't think i'm going size. what you're doing here is looking off to some african natural wealth in the public . good. and so there is this unique tax incentive to benefit that by diversity. this man is already converted his land into a protected area. he can right off the cost of the purchase over 25 year period photographer cause funder lender purchased the land 5 years ago. and it's taken count, those pictures of the areas since then. it rarely rains here, but when it does, the landscape is transformed into a pageant of color. another special feature about this area of land is that it could act as a corridor for wild animals. since it's located between 2 different protected areas, be standing year round about in the, on the northern border of it get to the,

to the waste and east south stretching down across from the national park. and then to the north east hook up provincial nigeria. and you know, you can see the proposed colorado linking the to predicted the crew region of south africa is home to more than 5000 species of plants. and some 40 percent of them can only be found here. once upon a time, this area was farmland due to global warming and the rifle diminished quite a bit and it just became impossible for these people to, to make a living with kettle and agriculture and eventually there to sell. and that's why we bought into folks for conservation with climate change threatening biodiversity,
