oh, the watches, democracy whaley's india headed with this is the moment to unleash unknown violet pass and re imagined galleys teachings for relevance to us. gandhi's legacy starts january 20th on d. w. ah ah, welcome to global 3000 pollutant 3 fishing electric boats on lake victoria. the big come back, bison a returning to the american prairie and

catastrophic di, off coral reefs on the brink of extinction. the latest report on climate change has the un sounding the alarm. many echo systems that at the point of no return now and shift carbon pollution is forcing the world's most valuable on a frog, marched to destruction. now, the facts are undeniable. these abdication of neither ship is criminal. ah, the intergovernmental panel on climate change is latest report off as a sharp wake up cold. around 3.6 of the almost 8000000000 people on earth live in regions severely threatened by climate change. temperatures continue to rise. 2021 was one of the hottest years since records began. global heating has dramatic consequences for people and wildlife. extreme weather is becoming more common. our oceans and sees a heating up becoming more polluted and ever more to check. can we still
4:32 pm
save these ecosystems? we hedge beneath the waves. coral reefs are, unlike anywhere else on earth, their home to mind blowing, biodiversity, the world's reefs, are shown here with red dots. they cover less than one percent of the ocean floor, but they actually support over a quarter of all marine life considering these staggering statistics. it's easy to forget that they're actually built from tiny animals, coral polyps, corals oh, a great deal of their magic and their beautiful color to a complex cooperation between organisms. algae live in the polyps, tissues and provide nutrients to the coral in exchange for protection. but this delicate teamwork is under threat from climate change. c o 2 emissions dissolve in the seas, making a waters more acidic and weakening coral skeletons. and that's not all.
4:33 pm
as global temperatures, sore, coral reefs suffer through ever more frequent and intense ocean heat. waves. extreme temperatures caused the algae to produce harmful chemicals, prompting the coral polyps to kick them out. this is coral bleaching where vibrant polyps turn white from heat stress. a process that can eventually prove fatal and global warming is already driving vast, bleaching events to day. my son is far as i told you, it's possible that his kids may never see a car reef. it really scares me to think of a world without coral. reese, sherry konstantin of the nature conservancy has established a large scale conservation project in the eastern caribbean. the goal was to protect corals and other ecosystems while still enabling some tourism and fishing in specific areas. the fact that the community was so involved in the
4:34 pm
designation the design of these areas, that is why it was so successful. there are also plenty of ways to enhance conservation efforts. like these take playing underwater sounds to look back. fish for one slightly surprising example. and there is evidence that by shielding reefs from local stresses, marine protected areas build resilience in the face of ocean acidic vacation and rising temperatures. so we have to have multiple strategies in addition to marine protected areas. this is lizzie mccloud whose global coral reefs lead at the nature conservancy. researchers like lizzie mccloud, are going one step further in the quest to help reefs resist climate change by investigating how to actually toughen coral reefs with. and so some of the strategies people are using is, are taking corals that are we call express hardened, so they're better able to deal with ocean warming and actually transplanting and
4:35 pm
moving them from those areas to other areas with the hopes that they'll pass along that trait to their offspring and help the corals in that new area be better able to cope with warming. one way of doing this is to find naturally heat resistant. corals that have survived hot waters before into transplant them from one reef to another. and these aren't the only cutting edge techniques other teams are also hoping to toughen up the individual corals themselves. in my research, we are mostly focusing on increasing the tolerance of corals to heat. this is ecological geneticist, madeline van up. and she's investigating a range of approaches to make corals more resistant to rising temperatures. for example, selectively breathing to toughen up the pole of animals. or alternatively, tinkering with the algae that give coral their colors. the micro, i'll get
4:36 pm
a lift inside the coil tissue. we can, they come out of the coral and most of these can be cultured in the lab. and in the lab, we can increase the rate by which the cell gate evolve. madeline back up and used this approach to create heat re in algae which when put back into polyps, created more heat resistant corals. so if we combine all of these approaches, is that it will we be able to save these unique ecosystems from climate change? if we implemented every tool in our tool box today from marine protected areas, reducing pollution using some of these more active interventions, stress hardening or manipulating the genetics of quarrels. it will not be enough to save cor, reeves, if we do not reduce emissions that is absolutely central. the truth is that coral reefs are incredibly sensitive to warming waters in 2018. the inter governmental
4:37 pm
panel on climate change warned that even if the world limits global warming to $1.00 degrees, coral reefs could decline by 90 percent. if temperatures increased by 2 degrees, that figure is 99 percent or higher. but the world could heat up by even more than this, given our emissions path. if we don't bite to stop climate change, the fight to save coral reefs is doomed, not in the distant future, but within just a few decades. coral reefs could be the 1st ecosystem entirely lost to the climate crisis. our environmental decisions around the world, whether that's reducing plastic use or limiting global warming, could make all the difference for the future of the world's reefs. are small and made of plastic sashes. these little packets might be handy,
4:38 pm
but they quickly land in the garbage bin and they don't roles. in all web special, we chant the journey of such a sashay from the origins of the rule materials it's made from to its ends on the rubbish heap. we find out why the number of such haze is growing and why they're so lucrative for businesses. and so disastrous for our planet. find out more at d, w dot com slash plastic lake. victoria is the biggest lake in africa, around 30000000 people live near ets, and many of them depend on it for their livelihoods. but population growth has contributed to over fishing and pollution, threatening the health of the lake. but there are solutions for global ideas. our reporter eulley america, headed to kenya where local fishers are using climate friendly boats. as dusk falls, jared utter know hits out on to lake victoria since he started using an electric
4:39 pm
motor, he and his team no longer have to breathe them, exhaust fumes, and it's not as noisy either. oh, tiana was one of the few fishermen here who started using an electric motor last year. it's much easier before he was constantly having to change gears or so. you have to route careful, robert propeller dublin. so run it through tubes. it might order me get contact with her manila, you this her string all the gear. so removing you to have gum cumbersome reviews while you just do just automatic 3rd come up with some of the fishermen use solar lamps to mark out the area where they plan to cast their large net. with the lights slowly attracts the fish to the surface. then in the early morning,
4:40 pm
i pull up the next day. the nights are long on the lake, only after 12 hours due, the fisherman returned to me again, a beach in the town of m b t r a t n a share. the proceeds of the cat with the other fisherman, after deducting expenses, he only has the electric motor and batteries on loan from a company called a syllable club worker. every morning he returns the used batteries, and in the evening he receives a freshly charged set. a sofa, rents out the motors for the equivalent of around $38.00 euros a month. the batteries cost 7 years 50 per day. a lot of money for fishermen here. america challenge with rica and the girl looked out we had expecting jeremy to the 1st page to go potty special. so we have to look new for the adult soccer. so by the time of the dutch started a sober, had to do a lot of math to develop this business model,
4:41 pm
they saw the batteries and motors from germany. here in kenya, they have technicians who take care of the repairs and maintenance. they also offer a 24 hour service. if there are problems on the water, the fishermen have to corn their rescue number that we can resolve on core. but sometimes when their technical issues are not in a position to be solved during that time, we have to, we have to send out as to what to go, pull them back, or maybe change something, a component of the engine for that matter. the batteries are equipped with gps track is so that the boats can be precisely located in case of emergency a. so we'll 1st started testing it system in 2017. but everything was delayed by pandemic. in the meantime, more than 15 fishermen have signed a contract with the company in and look at it. every new customer receives
4:42 pm
a free training session. so it depends on the crappy little in just a few days. they learned the most important things. that reversible theory were then practice on the water to get used to the email that was close. joshua america has been involved since the start and understands what the fisherman need. the company we lou lou lou will need to to do some more difficult on i'm only the list that i have not the inital mobility cover. luca, i'll official, man, most of them try to go find the stance a silver is working to improve the situation, but it's made contact with companies and kenya and uganda that refurbish used batteries. these could be rented out to the fisherman at a cheaper rate in these like unbelief batteries will make them more duleigh. so that also we might, we mimic the current operations of our customers. but if, if
4:43 pm
a customer to go far, we give them more bodies, then we chide this rich, i'd feed but, but to the lake you want to go far. we give you full batteries, you want to go short distance. we give you one or 2 batteries and you pay for what you are used. i suppose the 1st company in kenya to invest an e, mobility on water, and one of the few in general on the countries e markets. electric mobility is still in its infancy here. there are some electric cars and buses and even some e bikes. warren, on don gay rides, one of them. he's a member of a e. m. d, a, an association that provides a platform for the nearly 20 companies investing in e mobility in kenya. the aim is to organize a lobby urging politicians to promote electric vehicles. people are excited about immobility, endo petite, is that he brings. it has tremendous environment of benefits,
4:44 pm
but unless we have the right incentives to allow for the final price and the value to the customer to be affordable, then immobility might just as well be another illusion that will struggle. that gets towards around $25000.00. both are out on lake victoria. every day. many of them belong to canyon fishermen who use combustion engines which pollute the lake and home the fish population. often the fishermen only get small silva sigh printed from the lake. and there catch quote, as have also declined in recent years. jared aquinos wife and mother take care of the cat every morning, 1st drying it, and then selling it as quickly as possible. the fish are the main source of income for the family of 12. they also use the money to pay the school fees for their, for children. and they've even managed to build a 2nd boat. darren atlanta wants to equip this one with an electric motor too. he
4:45 pm
has a plan for his family. get my father one source of fishermen. then now is mere fishing . then what of my jewelry saw out of this one? i'm praying god willing that my children know to be the fishing nurse. so the sooner the better another's has been. basil i now i'm so i put in the do cushion provider who did wishful from bare b if they're employed to be can change my our life. jared aquino has already persuaded some other fishermen to switch to electric motors, but he and a syllable are still among the pioneers of e mobility and it will take many more like them to see a benefit to like victoria and it's fish ah thousands of years. the indigenous peoples of north america inhabited
4:46 pm
a vast region from coast to coast to day native americans make up just 2 percent of the us population, a small number of on reservations, most of them in poverty. now some native groups a working together to revive some of that old traditions. and that means bringing back the bison. while rounding up these bison, robbie magnen needs to move fast. he's responsible for more than 50 bulls cows, yearlings, and caps for kid gold gl trying to think you can kind of think of a little background before their journey to their new home. these animals have to pass one last health test work. he's got every day, i know i'll grab
4:47 pm
a view of them. here at the ford peck reservation in montana ranchers are preparing the bison for distribution to indigenous tribes. for years, magnen has been working hard to ensure they can roam the prairie again. they're vitally important to many native americans. ah, he'll, he'll fight everything in here. so morgan murphy, the daisy that he had stretched out very fast for you, want to work on quick as possible for you know, how a heart attack audio. you try unit, test him, get him out, logo. the reservation has invested a lot of money in this facility to comply with regulations. just only after up to 3 years of quarantine and many
4:48 pm
blood tests are the bison permitted to be transported to other states. though the still wild animals are reluctant to let that happen. they know. oh poverty. oh boy. yeah. done it to a guy a few days. yeah. very, very good. tell you what you wonder, you say what they're testing the bison bud for brucellosis bacteria. a disease originally brought over by cattle from europe, which infected native bison to a conventional cattle. don't have the bacteria, but farmers feared their cows might come into contact with bison and contract it. so there are strict rules and lots of testing. this veterinarian has a routine vein that runs down the sale that okay, did it and anything happened during all? just had one. not yet. no, nothing in the woods. no. oh yeah,
4:49 pm
yeah. each animal is meticulously documented. biologist, megan davenport of the intertribal buffalo council says there's no evidence that by saint pose a threat to cows santos, 15 or 16 tests at this point in their life. there is never been a positive rating after the 1st phase of foreign team, which is literally just like the 1st female this program in there on your 3 year. so now robbie magnon knows what it's like to wait for the lab results. the director of fort peck's fish and wildlife department shows us the reserves pride and joy to herds of bison. the commercial herd brings in money through hunting licences. the other is a cultural herd, only tribal members are permitted to hunt up each herd as 10 square kilometers of land bordered by
4:50 pm
a fence that can withstand the basins brute force. though macklin calls these creatures buffalo, claiming only politicians or scientists say bison or the greater put us on there. we were dom, we're, you know, 100 survive as humans. so he had to buffle come up and take care of us. and they also survived many native american, c, bison, as 4 legged family members who are vital to their identity. but from the cattle industries point of view, they are bad for business or re fear that buff all take their grazing honor, which is not really true. because bottle was they call all year out for food. they deal in one day with care. so we're not really in a competition with them. and this is big enough for both of us to live, but people won't see it. it's
4:51 pm
a big day. and it's minus $25.00 degrees celsius. these base and come from yellowstone national park. when each herds were slaughtered in the 19th century, a few 100 animals found refuge there. that's why genetically pure bison still exist today. oh, oh. yeah. oh gloria, accept of all for a hold of a jury and a judge, a lot better than life. the results have come back negative. no by said have brucellosis bacteria. the 1st truck is going to washington state. the 2nd to oklahoma. there's a whole family and each one with bulls, cows, and calves. it's stressful for all concerned to native american tribes hope to establish their own herds with these bison. the cattle truck is the final
4:52 pm
thing. buffalo are really wild, like just a year now. car and every other of these large north american animals do that. they have to be moved on tracks this way because there's no tolerance, realty walking there and their own 2 feet, 4 feet robbie magnon dreams, that one day bison will roam free across the prairie. again. he knows it's just a dream, but he's taking big risks to make it happen. in the end, they're all safe and sound man and animal ha ha. took over. we're done. oh yeah, that the wrong journey. joke all that should be good with a traditional blessing for a good 20 hours of non stop driving. every few months they transport more by 2nd
4:53 pm
one more step in its slow return blue. i have a global team who this week our global team comes from ivory coast with my name's i should get to the re, i'm 15. i come from molly, but i live in ivory coast. ah. with i have a little brother and sister. i like to play with my little brother and tease him
4:54 pm
because i tell him everything is super awesome. you're happy with a generally good. i like school, especially my new and good is your song. i feel good there because the teachers listened to me and these are gone on thursdays i have online classes which help me improve my computers because i don't have that before going spicy. ah, somewhat boy, in my free time, i like to watch youtube videos and funny ones or dance videos to dance and exercise to in with
4:55 pm
securing food makes me sad in visual i, seeing all the st. kitts shopping. some have no family made others do but live on the streets since they have no home or money by the amazing or by the way. ah oh thank you sir. was gotten better, is that there's more freedom to express herself by feel my gum, ma'am. my grandmother wasn't allowed to express herself or where what she wanted to buy this vehicle, but i can dress how i want it on say what i think is weird on him when i get to schedule. ah,
4:56 pm
4:57 pm
4:58 pm
d w days. it's evelyn share my welcome to my podcast. love matter. that i and life celebrities influences and experts to talk about all playing loud effect from day to day. nothing less the south. all these things more and then you a season off the pot. come, make sure to tune and wherever you get your pot path and join the conversation because you know it love matters. ah, ah, hello guys, this is the 77 percent. the platform for africa. you to defeat issues and share ideas. you know, on this channel, we are not afraid to dedicate toughie. young people clearly have the solution. good future loans to the 77
4:59 pm
percent. every weekend on d. w. we've got to understand that globalization works, but he does not reach more than 30 percent of the world population. very simple. that facility that's very convenient for the chinese. after all, the port may be full very, excuse me, but i am the mediterranean as become a kind of great sarcophagus. if anything he was proud of it was to be a steal worker, like his grand parents and his parents. this is his business did come with your whole life. well, the winners and losers. globalization, where do we stand? starts january 5th on d, w. ah
5:00 pm
ah ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin, russia more soldiers killed in one of the deadliest strikes on the board in hue cracked families, hold a vigil for the dead. as many commanders face growing criticism from russian. commentators also coming up jerusalem on the edge of the far right israel minister makes a concrete.
