i had known that the boat would be that small, i never would have gone on the trail. i would not have put myself and my parents in danger. you bought the theme of the it'll for you to sleep. who love on sunday had that one the liberty to give them i had a serious problems on a personal level. and i was unable to live there with you want to know their story, you so migrant clarified and reliable information for my grants. ah, with hello and a one welcome from compiler. it is nice to have you with us with these new edition of equal africa, the environment the show brought to you by d. w in germany,

nigeria channels, tv and mtv. right? t a in uganda. my name is sandra, nobody will and with me is my for hosting from megs area. yes. hi dear. i am chris the loans in ohio state. and as always, we have a lot of interest and report lined up for you today include in one about fancy e bikes from uganda. also on the show. white eating insects is good for the environment. paul, environmental activist in spain want to eliminate the prostate from the mediterranean and how to make farming more eco friendly. thank strong act. the nigeria. let's start right here in uganda. ginger district wants to become the vast e bike city in all of africa. and what are called up because as i already rolling through the city, developed in europe on india, they are intended to make transporting goods easier. and of course a, so the traffic in the region becomes more sustainable. won't take, you know,

on the right every morning he's too young. his children are his 1st passengers. walter on n is a bike taxi driver in the city of ginger, some night kilometers east of the ugandan capital compiler. a few months ago, he traded in his old fight taxi for in a free, cruising in e bike developed for the african market. his passengers had thrilled you, miss grims, he said, was in i let me go to it in the go design was if you're using power and knowledge is in one ball. cedar rugby custom africa's. he was the brainchild of you again person, a teacher from northern germany. more than 10 years ago is he was traveling across africa. he began thinking about how transportation on the continent could become more sustainable. many people wrote motor bikes,

which are expensive in high emissions, and he realized something else. 2 tickets vans of africa has lots of solar energy units and huge mobility off europe has lots of e baker. so why not combine e bikes with africa? solar energy to make her go buy that could really help sol. how billy to problems on the continental movie, peaceful dream of your confidence. to help make his idea a reality. he brought in e bike specialists from germany on board. together they designed the 1st prototype and realized the brakes would need to be adopted to the needs of african customers, including the local, brought conditions is then i just saw that was a pretty big challenge when it came to designing the bike. the conditions of the roads aren't necessarily like what e bay cried as i used to hear eyes with i in some of the bike companies that the industry tends to rely on may not be available in general. like in a mostly calm,

come muslims oper dixon, most box in the wheels and arrange forced frame styled in the look of a more expensive motorbike the after cruise. he was designed to be robust in appeal to its clientele, and it's 600 years. it's quite a bit more affordable than most e bikes in the plan, also called for micro credits to help finance the purchase. patients partner in berlin is part of hero cycles, the world's largest bicycle manufacturer. it's based in india, thanks to advice in low labor cost, hero can produce the african uses more affordably in draw on cross financing with other product lines. for hero, it's an idea that makes sense. africa could become a major market. whether is e bike, texas e, bike ambulances, or water delivery bikes? the 1st 100 of free cruises went into operation in uganda. a few months ago. at

5 you the n g or based in ginger, that's coordinating the a free cruise project. the 1st batch of pbx already attracted a lot of interest in you wonder energy prices have been rising for weeks. that's also helping to make e mobility more appealing. this comes as an alternative, as at transport or mobility, tentative that people can use instead of motorized transport lay. kaiser's like motorcycle is the fact that it is functional. it is able to carry 100 kilograms of of cargo. so it is function. it is very fast. it is of course, fancy fab, you run small service points to handle maintenance in, to swap out the solar batteries mechanic just from gaia joined the project. early on in now has a permanent position. you tries to save as much of his paycheck as possible. i want

to stop the auction. and they want to skew my fellow friends and young people don't dare. i wanted to get them on how to repay. i beg, how'd you bear it? bates. walter, one in also comes year to swap batteries. when business is brisk, he's here twice a day on days when he can make it, he's out of luck. so redundancy, one scene, maybe if the button is not there. so you can read using light because there's no light. so you have to still viewing the the 5 your team also stay in regular contact with technical designers in 1000000000. should the bicycle lights kit a separate battery? does the frame need any updates? b, 2 teams are working on refining the next generation of a 3 cruises. the next 640 e bags are about to go into production in india. they will be headed to toggle

vinny picking of fossil tanzania, and other countries. soon a few competence are slated to be produced in uganda. yolk and passion is happy that he's africa cruise. the project is taking off and for water and, and his family, the e bikes, they've made their day to day lives that much easier. this wall that im sofa, great out doesn't a love to take a ride. students from robot, in miracle abuse cavities, not only vice solar energy, it is an unusual project for the country and the team behind it sets their goals and international compositions. so let's check out these weeks doing debates. ha, it's time to hit the road mm. at speeds of up to a 120 kilometers an hour in

a car powered by the sun. this solar race car was designed by 16 engineering students in morocco. their goal is to develop technologies that one day could be used in ordinary cars and eliminate that climate killing emissions. pick it up at a while and i was a v i. d came up in the context of expanding our years of renewable energy, and especially now that our country has decided to go grained in many areas. not gone, but about the project allowed us to put our theoretical knowledge into practice in la. got that on the team is now optimizing their 2nd prototype, the aaliyah dora, to which means gifted the sun in greek and the team from rabbit spent nearly 2000 hours working on the vehicle. the chassis is made of lightweight carbon fiber, it's batteries and tell him at true system have also been improved with miss

etiquette offer letter. this is the 1st invention of its kind in north africa and it meet solar power standards. we've collaborated with companies that provided funding, and now we're hoping to bring others on board. we'll come to help complete this project and may be launch a new one. when is the bottom portion, we'll have that 1st. they plan to enter elia dora, to in some major international competitions. oh, and how about you? if you are also doing your bit, tell us about it. visit our website, or send us a tweet. hash tag doing your bit. we share your stories. what a great idea. changing the topic now feeding the growing population worldwide. even such a difficult task book may be the answer. pioneers, all over the world are developing sustainable product made from the lobby of black

. so jeff lies in germany. it seems there is just one sticking point, standing in the way of success, government to read to tape. it could be so easy. breeding harmless little flies to laying eggs which turned into maggots with a voracious appetite for food waste. and the larvae can be turned into tasty, high protein burgers. good for the climate and the environment. though it's not quite that straightforward yet. but 1st things 1st. welcome to the love shack of the black soldier, fly, a creature by the name her meteor. in lupin's heinrich cuts is a superstar among fly farmers. he'd love to expand his farm and be part of the insect protein revolution. and the larvae are up to the job, they have

a racial appetite and gobbled up everything from food waste to animal excrement. and true glutton fashion. their body weight increases 6000 fold and just 3 weeks. the problem is in you regulations forbid the farmer from feeding them food waste when, when my snow? yes, mark. if you're a pioneer doing something new or you're going to really enjoy what you're doing and be enthusiastic about it. but often you do bump into challenges and a lot, especially in the case of disruptive innovation, as you might find yourself facing regulatory hurdles. avi jensen. this is why they're currently fed on pink feed, but they will dish this up here is o kara, which is great for our young larvae. acora is a byproduct of tow for production for yesterday. this isn't this. but there are more efficient solutions available, like in kenya, we're handling costs has also set up a fly farm with indoor plumbing, a rarity in many poorer districts. a startup has set a portable lavatories in selected places. the excrement is later collected and

mixed with food waste a blend that's perfectly suited to the black soldier, fly larvae de la from van's. on july, the larvae are then fed to pigs and chickens. last, we've had the system up and running for a couple of years now with 0 problems. great, and no cases of animals getting sick. i didn't give office shows alms before waste can be used this way. the e once proof that as a safe product as its own sklar, that we know that we need to deliver empirical evidence that it safely hung loosen classes. we could feel. but the e u is basically making that impossible because they won't grant us an exemption. so we can naming a fuel creek, so we're being asked to provide evidence while being denied the means to do so. it was the community card game. we can only hope that will be granted exemptions at the local level, and that the you doesn't put a spanner in the works. we often discussed on the course sufficient for college. for now, i know chances ground fly larvae can only be fed to dogs and fish,

but it all goes well. larvae could be the next big thing in the food industry. will have a look at farming, which as a reputation for being a lot of hard work, but you don't have to do all the work yourself. why not versed in eco friendly, forming? a woman in idea came up with a brilliant idea. see for yourself. ah, agriculture is a big business in nigeria, whether you're plucking peppers or harvest and tomatoes, the something for every once table and tasting. but farming is also cool and becoming tech savvy. now you can even manage acres of land. he's in nothing but your mobile phone. and rebecca, i'm old, is the brains behind the operation on charlie r for causal. and just so common guy. and i shall keep up with our for their basic

is for the home. but currently we have all class of people wanting to be a part of the fund from your phone programs. currently we have over 10000 subscribers. rebecca, it's actually a computer science graduate. she wanted to find a technological solution to form an inefficient, to see her mother and other farmers battle for many years. she originally founded way and more forms in 2016 to sell the post harvest waste problem. during cove it she witnessed many nigeria struggling to buy food. we found from the phone program was launched during the holiday week of the course. 19 funding was created, the support and youth interest in agriculture. and to also create empowerment for the masses. especially dudes and ensuring that the end of a studio from the conference will go from rebecca co found that the african wealth initiative with other young professionals to create the program that allows

everyone to participate in forming and with the benefits i put in. because my morning walk for me, having a reliable team do something and i get benefit out of it, which was lovely. i subscribe to from, from your phone because it is that try me. does it for me? i can easily from, am i going to from the wrong thing and then i'm getting my him or need. i mean please. so been in the market for remote for, i mean is booming and rebecca is making sure that quality control is a top priority. for instance, she and her team keeping the use of pesticides to a minimum. terry house, sorry analyses. what analysis restore the prevailing space around and the climate, and the diploma foundation over please. that helps us understand the balance that exist in di, environmental ready. so that help shows us and mirror the kind of an organic

process to follow. so what we do the whole test on st. freeze productivity. and that's how you go farms to market in the 21st cent. rebecca and her team have made it easier than ever to become a farmer with a swipe of your finger is that of a sickle? on that report, exhaust to the mediterranean, the sea of the coast of saul than europe and northern africa is littered with plastic and other debris. that's bad, the tourism, but above all, it's bad for marine life in spain. volunteer divers, i help in with cleanup efforts. shorts now did see horses, soft, corals, neptune grass, groupers and a wide variety of seaweed inhabit the mediterranean waters off more. seattle in southeastern spain, with 73 kilometers of coast and the biggest salt water lagoon in europe. it's

a paradise for recreational fishing, but many fishermen use lead thinkers. they can end up on the see bed where they pose a threat to marine life fung, i'm afraid, casual them base. let's take the case of a fish feeding on algae growing on a piece of lead when that fish approaches and begins eating the algae. it also ingest, so lead meant it, it becomes part of the marine food chain. the small fish me eaten by the bigger fish and so on, if you like me to lead is passed from one to the other more quanto. finally we as seafood consumers, wind up with that lead on our plate ah, on west plato. some fishers are starting to use alternative thinkers made of ceramic or zinc. but the un estimate some $640000.00 tons of fishing gear, including hazardous metals, still ends up in our oceans each year. to combat the problem,

volunteers from hipaa campus, an organization focused on the conservation of shorts. now did see horses have launched the plume? boom project gronvold ish or ny there. boom, boom is a project born after so many dives eunice, where we saw so much rubbish made from metal whip as if he got from lead me that used in sport fishing and professional fishing. they bought the way big ha nets loaded with lead sinkers, for example. it's an category t mulvey, debrel to remove the metals from the see. the project relies on a vast network of volunteer divers. i'd say alex out a us haddocks. today he's joining a cleaning expedition, a couple of the puzzles, a seaside village in one of the most bio diverse areas in the mediterranean basin, balsamic ok. doing global, we're going to collect, lead from the sea floor,

the marine weights and hooks from fishing here, even when we looked small pieces that settle on the bottom and get half buried. let's see if we get lucky. with the help of metal detectors, divers can collect between $4.45 kilos of lead at each cleaning. the results are registered on a website that monitors their efforts since 2017, more than 14000 metal sinkers equivalent to one ton of lead have been removed from the mediterranean. but plume doesn't just remove the metal. it also contributes to the circular economy by giving it a 2nd life. thanks to public funds and private contributions. 200 containers have been distributed at diving sinners and yacht clubs along the coast. here, all divers can deposit pieces. they've salvaged. yeah, give

a label to them was a global we put the lead here government and then the association collects it and takes it to the companies. we have an agreement with that they can recycle the metal so it can be used again in batteries. for example, hydro rollover, i've offered that here at the death. once the containers are full, the project coordinators bring them back to the heavy metals recovery center. to date, they've delivered more than 900 kilos for recycling. apart from lead other garbage such as plastic cans and glass is harming the marine ecosystem. normally only divers see the damage 1st hand. so colombo members also organized photo exhibitions to raise awareness and reveal the underwater reality. aiken old, they're not shabby sheet. people who don't dive can imagine what is under water,

honey, but they don't really know leak. so if we show them photos and explain to them the consequences of, of having garbage in the sea, they become more aware. he dumped it. a shake on cynthia must in addition to encouraging the use of sustainable thinkers, bloomberg is working with governments to implement eco friendly marine policies. and it's appealing to all people to stop throwing trash into the see. ah, well what's a great project without them the mediterranean would be in a much worse shape. and think of the birds that pick lita out of the sea. all that wastes poses such a danger to them. yes. a bunch, especially the c bonds need a bit of protection keep body is home to one of the main breeding fights of the railed build tropical. but in west africa bought the hud patent is under threats.

ah, the marvelous a red build. tropic bird. these migratory birds spend most of their lives at sea flying thousands of kilometers across the atlantic, and only coming to land to breathe high up in the rocks of a find holes to make their nests. but not much else is known about their habits. researchers from cape florida, have only recently found one of the largest colonies in the world. here on the island of south are to a low patches, a field technician with project biodiversity, a local organization, and frank to learn more about the species to help save the birds from threats and linked to growing tourism. they monitor more than $500.00 nests on the island. they are very little. they have like a big deal and they have like i said, i got a woman on the, on the was like a u b believe. and they've been,

there is super nice. today they're out tagging and taking samples from the birds. they found an unwilling participant here in the side of the cliff. the bird goes into a bag to help calm it down. first they'll take blood determining sex. like i would think it's from the 5th. you can see like a live in is coming from there, the here we clean it for is enough. we big of deleted the samples. they collect help them understand more about the birds habits, diet and migration patterns, as well as can cabinets. they've consumed. that also shows how the health of their environments is changing. feathers also provide some clues like ads which ends in the future like a when, when is the that time of the year, luckily turned to the feller and particularly the feeling well,

so toxins build up in the feathers, evidence of how many collisions the birds are ingesting and therefore, indicative of the health of fish populations and our oceans. of course, there's also another way to find out what they've been eating that will more or less. after returning the bird home, safely, it's time to check on other nests. this baby is just 2 weeks old. the only check his parents will have this season that makes the population especially vulnerable and red billed tropic birds are up against an increasingly dangerous world's not far from their nests. taurus soak up the sun in sand construction along the coast, erodes natural habitats, and light pollution. disorient the sea birds during the night. introduce species like stray dogs prey on the birds. not to mention plastic pollution, which gets into their diet through micro plastics in the fish they eat. but it's

a balancing act. tourism means more economic opportunities for locals on the island . a project. biodiversity co director says human activity is pushing seaboard collies further and further away from their breeding sites. our tour is back at the office, preparing samples to send to the university of barcelona for processing, where researchers are discovering new insights by crunching the data he's collected . the team hopes his findings will lay the groundwork for saving the red, wild, tropic bird. and that by understanding their fragile ecosystem will better understand the health of our own worlds. wall, how beautiful hope you enjoyed the shoe. i will see you then next week for another episode of aco africa. i'm to say good bye from england states elijah area. and it is a good buy for me to hear income falla, uganda. don't forget to write or send us your comments and all our social media

platforms remember will or is open to your suggestions ticket and see you next week with a new exciting episode of eco africa. ah oh oh oh ah ah, with

who they were prisoners of turkish president or to 13 german citizens held in turkey. the charges are politically motivated. their arrests were completely arbitrary and

left them with deep mental newness. back in germany, they talked about their warranty. political prisoners in her to one's turkey. in 15 minutes on dw, welcome to the city of the future. low instead of a permanent traffic jam would instead of concrete the mobility instead of air pollution. new concepts for the mega cities as tomorrow made in germany. even 90 minutes on d w. o o has no limits. i love is for every body.

love is live. i love matters and that's my new podcast. i'm evelyn char, mom and i really think we need to talk about all the topics that more divides and deny that this. i have invited many deer and well known guests. and i would like to invite you to an in co mike, how can this passionate hatred of a people be explained? your gold top gold? a history of anti semitism is a history of stigmatization and exclusion of religious and political power. struggles in the christian christianity wants to come from it. that is why christianity use the figure of the gym as a deterrent. it's a history of slander of hatred and violence. a 3rd of our people were exterminated $6000000.00 jews,

like microbes to be annihilated even 77 years after the holocaust hatred towards jews is still pervasive. history that to semitism this week on d. w. y o ah, this is d w. news line from berlin. the president stronger fleas, the country hours before he's due to step down, go to bio roger box. a sudden departure comes after widespread protests over his handling of the economic crisis. also coming up ukrainian forces launch a counter offensive. and so the.
