gunners cuts of breeders on trying to solve the animals from getting diseases. and why wills in south africa. and in a most stress in africa, frame governments are spending 40 times more on for so fuel projects done on initiatives to reduce the impact of the continent. second biggest killer, air pollution, according to the un, every single year, close to $10000000.00 people around the globe died from air pollution. yet due to the current energy crisis. many countries still one ox as to cheaper and less eco friendly fuel supplies. and hoping that countries like uganda, anton zeniah, will be able to deliver, ah, ah, murchison falls, national park in north western uganda is a sanctuary for wildlife. it's just one of 35 reserves sanctuaries and parks

managed by the uganda wildlife authority, which was established in 1996 and tasked with the protection of the countries flora and fauna. the parks attract a lot of foreign visitors after farming and forestry. tourism is one of uganda's biggest sources of revenue, but a number of these biodiversity hotspots are under threat from plans to extract the 1700000000 barrels of oil that have been discovered under the ground here. set to open in 2025, the east african crude oil pipeline or eco will begin in houma and one, nearly 1500 kilometers that will transport oil from the to lanka and king fisher fields and then continue to rain forests and alongside towns and villages. before passing, just west of lake victoria, a fresh water reservoir for millions of people. the pipeline will then cross northern tanzania, before reaching tonga on the indian ocean coast. from there,

the crude oil will be loaded on to tankers. north in early 2022 uganda's energy minister ruth non chavira, sat down with the ceo of french multinational total energy in kampala to sign the lake albert development project into operation. the 2nd biggest investor on board is the china national offshore oil corporation or c. n. o, c, the 2 companies have committed $10000000000.00 for extracting and transporting the oil. we're doing a whole new a welcome development for uganda estate, minister of finance for investment easily any day. this is an exciting news for our country. it's a long awaited news we should actually throw a patty the ugandan state has a 15 percent stake in the pipeline. and there's widespread optimism about the oil produced in the country bringing thousands of new jobs as well as additional
9:34 pm
revenue. among the critics of the project, as dickens, kamesia an attorney and the head of the africa institute for energy governance. he's been skeptical from the outset. if you're with all the other countries that are really breezing waiting you get in africa, you discover that does not create the job. if you with the community that that was in the properties that are being feed, visit it when the money has rendered the value of the actual didn't good school. the deferment is most of them getting, getting broken know and say that those people are finally willing to get a job. this is the village of the guido not far from the to lanka. oil fields, like their parents, the children playing innocently here are about to become so called perhaps project affected person. among the older generation is charles or tamma. i'm online and he
9:35 pm
used to own some of the land here. i received my new from the tars. he rented a promise to give me a house the corporate investors have faced accusations of giving locals like, oh, tamer, insufficient. if any compensation you from one is not, then i can conclude that it's the same. people do remain on land until went out and you see the really important this is we both on 1st and somewhat guarantees that the have to push was that would be funny and i meant them. the total energy is activities in uganda are being monitored by malta galle, a member of the parliament. and now that you've gone to has pledge to implement measures to limit global warming, the green party politician says uganda isn't
9:36 pm
a good position to turn it back on fossil fuels, renewables adjust the far better option for you got than people. and i mean like they do have all the minerals they need to create a really common free future. they could be a play and very, very important role in the green transition. the decision to leave the oil underground and thereby limit emissions would also be supported by conservationists . the w w. f has rate concerns that the pipeline project could disrupt over 2000 square kilometers a protected habitat that it's home to a diverse range of animals. the parliamentary opposition in uganda is in favor of the pipeline but also shares the concerns of those who oppose it. the government is said not to have done due diligence and to have an environmental impact assessment. adequate environmentally backed up. ok on
9:37 pm
the fix of the pipeline on the areas where the pipeline is good to go through their water bodies, the land and air. those are what issues that you is raising. the immediate worry for dickens kanisha is the grave environmental impact from the pipeline proximity to lake victoria. they can use it in the middle of over 20000000 people in kenya in pennsylvania, in uganda. and it does this also river. note that south, how many countries, so we don't think that this is a reason why you should risk that in actual resource with the project. they're planning concerns that are not unfounded, given previous incidents elsewhere in 2008, several 1000 leaders of oil spilled out of a pipeline in nigeria, leaving the soil contaminated by chromium, lead and mercury with lasting consequences. our lives in bordeaux, the pin,
9:38 pm
the lag, dionte, c with the pin a like the only c. i see ports to d, almost all of those c foods of gold. we can't find them again because of the oil spear on these as led to e. a level or poverty i will, yes, find no not find a way to describe over in france. total energy is eager to rule out disasters of that nature. with the new pipeline project, there will be a monitoring process for fiber optic or along order loans. and by then, this is 1st and in the addition of this money going, we love what we got so many line broke valve. that is to say, is some doors that we can use in cancels se then, and thanks to is,
9:39 pm
is we will be able to plug the stop the flow of the product at any place of caesar pipeline in brussels. however, environmental risks and human rights violations remain on the agenda for e. you, parliament members like monitor galle. he continues to press for answers and accountability together with like minded colleagues and was among the initiators of an e u resolution. we want them to halt the project until all this is resolved and of course as well, ugandan and tons on the inside to respect human rights and to comply with them. and this should also be a clear sign at to every other company in europe. that is active outside of europe, that a we will watch them very clearly and we will not turn our backs to them if they are involved in human rights violations. o supporters of the pipeline in
9:40 pm
uganda, recently vented their anger at the resolution outside the u. delegations. offices and kampala oh, east african moody biplane. you can serve. we are here to tear it up on union to stop to stop mentally one o u o is our hub. yes. o is our future. oliver. over $31.00 of employment. yeah. again. and you gone as president, you're wary mu 70 has accused the e. u of arrogance and dismissed the competence of it's politicians would be to ship . you wouldn't good this part of it is i just youngest member of parliament. oh you you are looking at him. you know what, what to do in uganda. you younger citizens criticizing the pipeline face being arrested as seen in a growing number of cases posted online. what's
9:41 pm
more substantial deposits of gold were discovered in uganda earlier this year with the chinese company set to mind the precious metal. oh, the question again is what price with countries delicate ecosystems have to pay? ah, what a story will be sure to keep the updated on any new developments. now we head of to northern gunner, where the cattle ranches ever way you look, but they are dealing with a serious problem. climate change till a small crease will change in whether pot inside increase in the risk of infectious diseases. we came across a project that allows pharmacy to better protect the animals with the help of mobile technology. let's take a look. so seine rymer is worried,
9:42 pm
his family's cancel and not doing well. here in the saloon district in northern gonna, it's dry season. the grass has been scorched by the sun and good watering holes. a rarity load where you just opened up from the house, though it are moving. you yourself will suffer and the curtain, they will not get it like the rainy season. so at this time, they are not enjoy and damp surf of the animals may be more than exhausted and hungry. the herdsman fears they may also be seek. climate change means that it's getting hotter and the cut all have to work father to find food that makes them susceptible to new diseases. gunners, chief veterinarian, dr. rachelle kicky motor works at the animal health laboratory. the ministry of food and agriculture. government agencies have noticed that more and more livestock
9:43 pm
are becoming ill due to climate change and the mass are forced to travel long distances. looking for the water and audrey for the same source. and then by converging liberal disease from one to the another. 2 will mo frolla animate another severe lugen lives. stock market meet reduction is an important part of the economy, especially here in northern ghana. but every year, farmers here lose about a quarter of their animals to diseases. many losses could be avoided, but there are not enough veterinarians in the country, and far too little prevention through vaccines. the young kenny and stat up cow tribe is currently trying to develop this potentially huge market for 5 us dollars a year. the company registers farmers interested in facing re services or products in a database, come to the family,
9:44 pm
use their cell phones to sign up. looking at the platform, you can see where groups of farmers are located. so we send messages to them and say, this is the time you should resonate your animals in order. and when they respond, we know how much demand is in different locations, the company and the farmers workouts in annual vaccination shed altogether. the stat of obtains the vaccines from distributor's or the government in the future. it plans to order from international manufacturers directly in other to obtain more favourable conditions. vaccinations a shed old for to day in saint lou village about 30 kilometers from the nearest col . try branch. the vet is employed by the company. jacobo addresses, sheep a 1st up i think gonna be a vaccinated against or vine vine to pass. 1 am pool is enough for several sheep.
9:45 pm
it costs around $10.00, which includes a 20 percent commission for cow tribe. oh mine for your cuba, it resume. it's worth the cost because more animals survive and he has significantly fewer financial losses. when your production is high, definitely you get more money. you sell out some and now the way our and my were dying, they were nearly gone as things. so now we have more of them. in the time we are in financial crisis, we're saw to sell in some of them. so it as in fact that i lot economical for us over $7000.00 farmers and their animals in northern gonna already among the towel, tribes, customers, the dollars happy because we protect the animals,
9:46 pm
i guess diseases retrieve them, we impact knowledge on them and it's so helpful but for sandy rymer has not yet had his cattle vaccinated. he still wants to wait and see whether his neighbors investments really pay off. we are staying with agriculture, but our next report takes us to europe. you might think that organic, farming and high tech i incompatible not so we've visited a far my gemini, who's completely rebooted as business going high tech save. same money. and it's completely sustainable. me. ah, if i get my that let me show you all the nerve center of my cattle shed. this is our fully automated milking system. make it consistent of 2 individual milking robots for the cows and milk here automatically 24 hours
9:47 pm
a day. only can you feel monte stuart, nom taco, democracy, morgan to have completely free access to the system and get a little treat when they arrive. not a bit of mash going on, and that's why they like to come here to be milked. they all so gone from megan, who me there was just older, obviously automatic milking is a huge help because it gives me complete flexibility in my daily routine. always. i thought it will then it's i for i had to be in the shed at 6 o'clock every morning and evening to milk than i'm for my target than as all the weekends and holidays and then play f county. for those be fun. i can call up a specific cow on this outline. let's take number 79 otter and by he led to make when did she last check in the how much milk did she produce with what ingredients lighter is when was she put out to pasture? is she there now?
9:48 pm
i saw marcus a raised the graves way sorting gate works a bit like the milking robot. it recognizes a cow by its color transmitter and decides is allowed to go to pasture or not hold a niece. ah, the scowl, depending on its milk status in this room, that's great for us because it selects the cows for us. philip yield, buchanan godson tag, widen. i can let the cows graze all day, but only the ones who've been milk regularly on that way. we don't have to keep hurting them and that type of fun. fuel insides, bueller's, inorganic grass fed dairy produces free grazing, his essential innocent garlic, all cows need space. they have to and want to get out doors line and that's why they get their grass on the pasture. he accost bones off to via detection as she
9:49 pm
fought smith on to your claim. knology and ecological farming are in no way a contradiction in terms want understood. technology just helps us work more efficiently and sustainably. and above all helps us to conserve resources. shawn stipend, yolanda chaff. detroit bombing is the murray, capital intensive business these days we had to take on very high liabilities to get this project off the ground floor yard. it's big creature comforts for the cows, the free stall, and the automated milking system. so clearly that takes a certain level of self confidence need given and calculated entrepreneurial rethinking quota. does this all the spite? this is our floor cleaning robot. i get real name is discovery,
9:50 pm
but we call it disco on. that helps me with the daily drudgery of keeping the slots in the floor. clear spot 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. and that's a huge relief because i used to have to do that every day by hand in the morning. uh huh. and doing that once a day was nowhere near as effective as when disco does it all day long? would yes. been able to sit down to talk with the candidate today in general, some work should give you the chance to enjoy what you do along with all the hard work i need to have time. so i can simply take a deep breath and just save of the moment to have them come to the use of our too much in south africa is among the top locations for we'll watch in. well, over the last 10 years, drastic changes i've been detected among it's will population. what's happening there? sandra? well, one challenge, eas,
9:51 pm
global warming. it is affecting my question routes on also the unimed was ability to reproduce. local scientists, there have been observing the huge aquatic ma more for the kids. so we paid them a visit to find out k costs on the right. right. yeah. you know, a little guy mom, but all that. i know mothers. yeah. looks under us. yeah, i just hold back despite appearances, this is no conventional whale hunt. matthew, dennis hasan and his colleagues from the memo research institute at the university of pretoria are trying to take scientific samples for the benefit of whale kind. so in the arrow, the some, bob's a hook and that some of the skin or blood. so the skin is a large part in the lobby of the key parts. so we use it for different that is not
9:52 pm
painful. i mean, it feels like a bee sting or something just like a quick, sharp pain. and sometimes they just flip the tail up. but generally as we saw, they normally just dive down and then within a few minutes, they don't really care. the bay of admonish, just east of cape town, is a winter base for many southern ride whales. they migrate thousands of kilometers from the feeding grounds of antarctica to carve in the sheltered waters. but the numbers coming to south africa have been dropping for some time. now. the researchers are trying to find out why back on land. the scientists returned to the lab to process and labeled the skin samples and linked the mothers with their cars. the samples of and frozen for further dna analysis. g b, s, date of the whales. location is also locked into the system. some whales are tagged with satellite transmitters, explains research manager, else for me alone. they provide insight into the mammals movements. for example,
9:53 pm
this fema went with her path to the falcon. i was will her cat from now on? do that always over this is cathy random as they appear next year. i'm going to go to close a i, we don't actually understand that what we're doing now, and another student is overlapping dna would stay isotopes as they were isotopes with basically markers in the skin that tell you where the animals been feeding and what it's been feeding on the research is have waiting station record books on file of to hunting, pushed the southern right whale population to the brink of extinction. wailing was banned in south africa in 1935 and the population was able to recover. right, well so i mean we, but recent years have seen an alarming reversal fuel rails and a worrying development among the females. in particular, looking at body condition, we see to fema forgotten skinnier. since the last when years to something's drastically changed in the last decade. all the crew that whales feed on moving
9:54 pm
further. so or is there just less of it? no one really knows. but the research is a sure the climate change has a big role to play. oh. and locals know that if the whales stay away, it would be a disaster for the small town of admonish. the wheels outside are very significant where minus i would say that the men are driving force for traffic here. everyone who comes here, they come looking for wheels, it is important for tourism. it is, it is the meantime from force for tourism. the pandemic restrictions hit hard, but admonish is now once again welcoming well spot is from around the world. i just laugh to see him when they die, and tell tamar that such beauty in so peaceful, like i said, and we need to make sure we manage it. so i'm hoping the leaders of the world understand that not just on the south african perspective, but just understand that climate change is affecting us all. and we need to do
9:55 pm
something about it and do something drastically about it too. matthew, germans hastened, does not doubt that the oceans are changing due to climate change, but to discover how that is impacting on the whales, he will have to spend more time out at sea. wow. what's amazing creatures. well, that's the for was the seek. we hope you enjoyed watching and found our reports inspiring. my name is chris lambs could buy from a good state. nigeria. i'm so let me know if you and it is also time for me to say good bye from counselor here in uganda. feel free to i to ask if you have comments or ideas on social media. i hope you can join us again. next time please do take care and see you soon. ah, with
