there are different forms of time. time ah, the phenomenon a dimension. we know we won't live forever and illusion. about time presenting futures past starts april 14th on d. w. ah . hello everyone and welcome to vis edition off echo africa, your weekly advancement to show. as always, we've got a great lineup of reports or the inspiring ways to preserve our planet. i am chris alone in lagos, nigeria, and i am sandra, twin over here here income parlor uganda. today we'll touch on a number of topics including wildlife conservation, aunt renewable energy. here is

a quick preview, murray, tanya looks to take advantage of the year round sunshine to produce green energy. the ocean may be vast bunk. that doesn't protect dolphins from danger. and farmers in wonder find a way to prevent over bracing of land we being in the congo basin advanced area in the center of africa that solves as an important water reservoir for farming and electricity production. the forest. there are also home to the critically endangered loan and gorilla. these primates, a play a key role in the ecosystem by spreading the seeds of plant species in the droppings. this helps to maintain the biodiversity and also ensure the future survival of the rain forest. but unfortunately, this isn't like a boiler and cold with 19 pools of breath for it to the animals existence

with it early in the morning. but rabbi bu kaka is already out in the coldest jungle, the young environmental scientist to study in guerrillas in the forest. after one our track, he finally spots a group, is here to study their behavior, but always keeps a distance of at least 25 meters from the gorillas. to mostly believe it eloquent. i mean, the mask is to avoid any airborne contamination will be, well, it's important to protect the guerrillas from the pro enough virus. annabelle thing we know that when the disease migrates from humans to animals, you know, and then possibly back to humans. um, it gets re complicated, well, if you called it on the modem, that would have been, you can pick up the nolan congo is home to the western lowland guerilla

thousands live here. in fact, there are more guerrillas here, per square kilometer than anywhere else in the world. but to what extent is covered 19 a threat. rabbi bach, aka and his fellow scientists say it's too early to tell. the team has been joined by magdalena, been a joke, one of the world's leading premier colleges alter a silver back guerrilla fell seriously ill with cobit at the u. s. u last year. they've all been extra careful, and all all vaccinated. be my galena, but major saw herself how nearly 5000 grills died of he bola, in the early 2, thousands we were following 7 different groups. how were that dying during 2 months? and you begin for a group of 15 and you follow until is only one and disappear. that is one e, paula was most likely transmitted to the gorillas by bats. it's possible they at the same fruits. so rabbi and students from the university of brazil also studying

the areas massive bath population. the credit pot on the family is important to follow up on bots, pathogens, because there's a local community that eats bats. and we know that diseases can be transferred from box to humans, should do so. we need to know and avoid these pathogenesis. we might also be able to project what future disease is good or call your future current. no virus matter if you like from the future. one of you in brazil, the capital of congo, there are a number of bush meat markets. these can be breeding grounds for new or existing diseases while selling endangered species like guerrillas and chimpanzees is illegal. but there are almost new official controls. rabbi bukosa can understand that local residents eat bush meat or sell it to make a living. both he opposes the market, which he says often sell endangered species to click on remotely could put

a coffee. this markets are like clusters of diseases. it's an environment where viruses can easily be transport from animals to humans. and then if one individual contracts a disease, he didn't spread 6 or others at the market. the symmetry can easily escalate from epidemic up and demick done last. the danger of those markets, appointing nacley got to look in with you or to get the machine to prevent future outbreaks of disease among the guerrillas. the scientists have increased their surveillance by checking on the animals more often. the research base is the core of the congo conservation company. it seeks to finance the research through eco tourism that creates jobs for the community, encouraging local people to get involved in conservation. but they want to keep the number of tourists low. we don't want to push on the glorious to much and or so we don't want to have a, a kind of factory and like

a lot of people coming in coming in, coming in. we wanted to keep it, i as was kind of as possible to be a bird, as to manage that lives of park and we have the conception aspect. we don't want to mastery them here. the congo basin is the 2nd largest rain forest in the world, often referred to as the earth african long. it absorbs a lot of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide. and it has a unique and diverse ecosystem with a lot of endemic species. rabbi book, aka has a few more weeks for his research here before returning to the capital to write his master thesis known as i think i will never tire. seen the guerrillas, he, for me, it's a dream. they all have of it. it's a dream to be here. love to be able to see them is a dream. that is what i could spend all day long. just watching them on people for me, miss wendy,

this is the life i want to live with premium in his master's course. he's one of just for students, he'd like to see more congolese coming to appreciate the local environment and supporting the cause of the guerrillas with the rain forest in africa and head to the of in europe. switzerland is considered a ro motor when it comes to renewable energy bond. many believe there is still room for improvement. so now i went, a range of options is being explored. missed gathers between the mountains of the glare. as alps is the common side here and not ideal for generating electricity from sunlight. but further up a nearly 2500 meters above sea level, it's much clearer. the sun shines in the pool and winter to even if it's foggy below for this was energy company expo. this was one of the reasons for installing

a photovoltaic plant on the mitzy down. the company says despite the challenges of the remote location, the mitzy is ideal. misty hooks. colleague initial home, our robustness, the highest altitude, dom and europe, rome, we wanted to go high to ensure the supply of electricity in winter. and you can see it face a south nicely. hydro electric power covers about 60 percent of switzerland's electricity needs. so the country is doing well in terms of renewables. but full nuclear reactors are due to be shut down in the future. so switzerland needs new sources of energy and is looking increasingly to solar power when we're done the organ uh, knowing an oil on, on the if we look at these so called new renewables, particularly when bio mass and solar pow wow. we're at the beginning of the steep curve. production is rising sharply, but we're not quite as far as other countries around us. solar power currently only accounts for about 5 percent of switzerland's energy consumption. christian shaft

now showed us the view from the roof of the energy science center. zerrick is very beautiful, but there are hardly any solar panels to be seen on the reefs and rebecca eastern, sealed by our schools. cuz we really want to reduce switzerland, c, o, 2 emissions to 0 by 2050 than all the buildings that rely on heating oil and natural gas. clearly pose a major challenge here and also the transport sector which runs on gasoline and diesel. and we have to get away from all these fossil fuels, and that as the big challenge, he explains how photovoltaics could play a decisive role. here, one such system is installed on the lake, independent elks. it provides power for $220.00 households. but there are even more stunning possibilities. we returned to the roof of the energy science center in zerrick. it features a movable parabolic mirror. it looks like a satellite dish, but actually for jesus,

synthetic fuel outs of air and light in spain. engineers built a larger scale replica of the system is hundreds of mirrors focus light so intensely that temperatures in this tower reach up to 1500 degrees celsius. this trick is a chemical reaction, splitting carbon from the carbon dioxide in the air and bonding it with water vapor . the result is fantastic fuel. could it one day replace kerosene? is sort of hard to, to partially food food for camel kind of go to lou somehow as yet we don't have a good solution for use an air traffic and that's important to his knowledge. it will require more basic research. young man come, we can manufacture the synthetic fuel and smaller quantities was, but with the will ever managed to do so on a large scale, whether it's technically and economically viable. it's too early to saginaw flukes as long back. so the claris else with no road axes,

everything has to be flown in running a solar plant installed on the highest elevation dam in europe. probably one proved cost effective, but that's not deterring the expo energy company. the system can power about $900.00 households for a year high up in these mountains, oxbow ames to try out new ways to satisfy switzerland's growing hunger for energy. producing paula in ways that aren't compatible, we've looked conditions emits a lot of sense in the course to regions, the ebb and flow of the tides, a one or reliable energy source near the equator. it is the son, that's a good point. sandra mauritania is 11th, largest country in africa, but less than one percent of it is suitable for growing crops. but thanks to modern technology, the country does have something. it can harvest in abundance. it can't be served for dinner, but can generate income for the country. send sun and wind more

return year, his more than enough of all 3. the north west african country is almost a complete desert. but that could be, it's like you break the government in the capital. marked short is investing in renewable energy's solar parks. in some wind farms already operate outside the city of columbia, south flower estimated annual electricity output is about 115 gigawatt hours. we produce at least that much low monthly output varies one the most favorable months i april. in may, when we can generate up to 13 gigawatt hours. wonderful. there are some less favorable months where it's approximately 5 to 6 gigawatt hours. the power is transmitted to the are of a sub, a power plant from where it is distributed across the capitals newbold sutler does give his own orders of the cattle energy requirements are growing in more, italia, it's population has tripled over the last 40 years and is rapidly approaching

hyperion, and the trend shows little sign of slowing 4 fifths of its people, live in the south of the country. any one who can move to the evan centers, because they're more did as it outposts, leg basics, like electricity. yet the potential for renewable energy is huge in a desert ever met minister marion b. k is determined to tip it. oh, so moans in 2018 renewable energy made up 38 percent of the energy mix. and we intend to increase this to 50 percent by 2013 law. do new comp. they have already been other trailblazers in north africa. marie tanius, northern ne bummer, rural co. his already built the 1st or 5 plant, large scale solar power plants. and it is located deep in the desert. here the sun usually shines $365.00 days a year. electricity output is correspondingly high. morocco also aims to have

renewables supplying more than 50 percent of energy production by 20 pity. market research assumes that by 2030 africa solar plans could be generating a total of about to $600.00 gigawatts. if there were massive investment in the sector, that would be equivalent to the output of $400.00 nuclear power plants. millions of africans could be provided with clean energy. but only if electricity grids keep pace with the development. let me so didn't i was if you looked a gun, martin my another ministry of energy is piloting an important project to develop green hydrogen is excellence. the president of the republic announced it at the club $26.00 climate. sammy trough law thumb defect. he also focused on the sectors most vulnerable to climate change because for us in the african states, adapting to climate change,

you made the chief priority unity passcode will she be thought is if that's because we suffer the effects of climate change through frequent droughts. and also sometimes floods and bush fires, but also the threat of flooding in coastal, in marine erosion in his good, you know, and i saw the submerge. so martin, son, wind in hydrogen green energy is more than abundant year mauritania is planning to build large solar power plants in the countries north and to even export. some of the electricity, as well from the west coast of africa will cross the continent to the east coast. there is nothing quite beautiful. are the dolphin john payne and identity open. see if you've ever been lucky enough to see one with your eyes and show you the agreed . well, like so many myron species doff in numbers, a drop in at an alarming rate. one group of conservation is then kenya is dedicated to protecting them. oh for the month,

little call here in the canal regional. what ammo led by marine biologist. michael mon. gumby that is such teams. focus is dolphins the monitor. how many of the animals live in this area and truck their movements? how do they use this area? it talks in terms of managing them even knowing what is the aid of coverage, how, how long the list a here. so that kind of improves there and a funding i live in how people can better ah, protect them. the village of what time were located. some 120 kilometers north of mombasa, king as 2nd largest city. what time will not in park and resolve is known for its species diversity. over $500.00 varieties of fish, as well as video sea turtle species can be found in an area measuring just 10 square kilometers. not to mention dull, since the subject of micheal mongolia was such in the indian ocean. the numbers are fallen by more than 80 percent since 1950. industrial fishing is likely

to blame as dolphins keep getting caught up and fishing nets. michael mongolia and his crew want to know what that means for what time a region at the start of november 2021 that he's such as counted a hand and foot to one in the pacific brooklyn most dolphins here. now, a month later, they found another port michael mun gambit, tics, photos that will be analyzed later. today, there is no sight of any humbug, though. things can see that an endangered species in november, the abs ported 8 of the rear marine mammals. this data is of use not only to scientists, but to people of what time as well. if we can use event endorphin watching a, what's saw instead of just going on a tool and sing dawson's, you know,

you can go out in a to on from one cause you the numbers of animals than guessing what are the names of these. and so it gives it quite a biggest significance and it's max wave i come to attempt to watch and often have a good experience. this is an example from tanzania of what dolphin watching shouldn't be like. way too many boats getting way too close to the animals and causing them stress at what time will marine fuck. such practices are now a rarity, but on us and to our guides have received special training. they know that in the long run is bad for the business to fight and the dolphins away. so thin of what thought is it will actually move. if people are not actually observing the, the right, don't go to her practices, then they can easily affect their normal behavior. does meaning that her,

in terms of even to production that can be affected and some still cut dolphins intentionally or low. it's illegal. even fishermen holding in small fish heart dawkins by depleting their food sauce live hoo ha people, boom, illegal official. that it didn't. it means there be competition. all the little fits that is available there in their car system. so illegal fishing affects the fitting patterns of that particular animal. finally, that such as have time to look at the photos taken on the boat ship that morning. by examining details like the ship of the fins, they can recognize what types of dolphins they've cited. on this day, the such as caught a glimpse of 50 in the pacific button was dolphins. over all this, every indication that the population remains relatively stable. he

just as with humans, animals both wild and domesticated, nit food in order to survive. over fishing, robs dolphins of their food source. but when it comes to cars and other livestock, sometimes they themselves help create the problem. it seems seni bonds. it is true if the animals go up everything in sight, it leaves the land and complete it with that in mind, a community ronda is taking steps to keep both the land and at any most healthy and productive chopping up grass for cows. traditionally, katelyn rwanda a left to graze outside, but rebellion ogo is a, keeps his cows in a barn every day he and his wife prepare at least 100 kilos of fodder just for their 3 cows. then he has sheep and pigs in sheds to ground up real court on the

road are keeping cattle in the enclosure is a policy we have to enforce physical comb with one of your cattle and not allowed to graze in the fields any more. are you working it out? we have to feed them in a pan like i'm doing here to prevent them from damaging the environment saw. the end of england is a must require cassandra. but many cattle heard as still follow conventional methods like juvenile in the sunday mana in the southern region of bouquets. sarah, he leads his animals to grassy areas to feed. but increasingly grazing land is in short supply to pre mccardie. we live in a region that suffers a lot of drought. i don't think we'd be able to find enough to feed our cattle if we didn't take them to uncultivated areas to graze. they would just starve. you're looking for with durable. but overgrazing serves to loosen the soil, allowing it to be washed away during the rainy season. this erosion is

a growing problem. it's a vicious circle. but that's not the only reason. rwanda is seeking to anchor. it's 0 grazing policy in national law. one day sir, is easy cancer which has a very high density population concentration. and so when we, we, we, we, we, we focus on serial grazing. we want to increase the mon, you are management, we want us to, to reduce the spread of diseases and, and what, what actually we want the better management of this more well brother, man, that we have to help farmers adjust to the new method, the agricultural board offers training course is lasting several weeks. they run by a government initiative called greening gorenca. the farmers are taught to which grasses are especially nutritious, like the thin roads grass stored in crates. it will keep for almost 3 years.

another conventional option is napier grass, which can be stored in the ground from either quote around or y'all were true, but we have just compressed the fodder and covered the last part with top hole in for you before rose after that way, the ground will be covered and we will create gullies to prevent water from penetrating the grass for the store. this way, napier grass will also keep for up to 3 years. it allows farmers to keep feeding their herds through several dry seasons, which usually last for 3 to 4 months of the year. the long was new for me is that i now know how to adapt to any changes in the climate. i'll be able to feed my cattle and i don't have to worry any more junk of what is happening. rebellion ogrinas a has had his livestock inside now for more than 2 years. it involves more work providing the fodder and cleaning out the stalls. but the training calls also

taught him how to recycle the cow dung. now, but that's another key aspect of the project. very target hosting code dung. and julian are having your did all my pan gus that destroyed the sky? so we've got to model fib. they're able to collected that manure, and there they have knowledge on how to make composts of that my newer by mixing roof crop residues. so they have a good compos that not only helps to improve the soil, but also to bind methane gas in the dung, reducing greenhouse gas emissions in a region that has a lot of livestock farmer, juvenile in the suns. the mana has decided to start keeping his livestock in bombs to he's come to rebellion, who agrees it to find out more? oh, oh, did you come here and you miss it. this project has told me that it's possible to

keep animals in a pan. and that they can be better off than my own, but graze on the hills. yet i've got to mortal keeping livestock in a pen is beneficial and easy. what a good. i have to change the way i raise my animals lead adults on that. if you look livestock, a key to the survival of farmers throughout this orig region, the project is now teaching them to manage their animals in a way that's less of a burden on the environment. with come to the end of this edition of echo africa. if you enjoy to day stories, write to us and tell us about it. i am chris alone saying good bye from lagos nigeria. see you again next week, and that goes for you to sandra. thank you, chris. and at, for all new viewers out there. if you want to know more about eco issues a do for us and all our social media channels for now, it is a good buy for me, sandra. twin over you sanks along from compiler, here in uganda. ah

ah ah ah ah ah, with

a man with the memories of a woman. so ali from syria is born in a female body. forced into marriage rate far from home, folly can finally become the person he's always wanted to be. i won't be spared badly. oh, in the 3 credit, and we'll go with it. i was born in berlin, 15 o d w. many german pipelines and gas reserves are controlled by russian company

gas. the corporation has so far operated freely within the german market. perhaps for too long who is behind this opaque multinational which gas flows through which pipe? and does the company even pay taxes here? may in germany, ah 90 minutes on d w. o. a. i think everything jenny fair, some are big a muslim. so much different culture between here and there. so challenging for everything. ah, and to some of this i think it was worth it for me to come to germany. shove my got

my license to work as a swimming instructor here. dish and now i teach children under dotes just with what's your story? take part, share it on info, migrant, dot net ah. in many countries, education is still a privilege. tardy is one of the main causes, some young children walk in mind jobs instead of going to class. others can attend classes only after they finish working with millions of children, all over the world can't go to school. we ask why? because education makes the world more just i make up your own mind. d. w, made for mines. oh

ah, ah, this is dw, live from berlin, potential progress in peace talks between russia and ukraine. russia says it will reduce military activity around the ukrainian capital, keith, but warns this is not a cease fire. western governments, however, are skeptical, also coming up on the show violence flares again in israel. a gunman opens fire in a television suburb before being shot dead. at least 5 people are killed in the incident. the latest in a spate of deadly attacks that have shaken israel. the government is calling.
