how are africa's cities tackling the challenges of rapid growth and poverty in the land of the champions? how people in argentina coping with a long running crisis comparing prices, hunting for bargains in markets and supermarkets, food is an expensive commodity in argentina, prices that almost doubled over the course of a year. for years the country has been mired in economic crisis. on top of this long running droughts have led to widespread crop failures. around 17000000 people, roughly a 3rd of the population live below the poverty line. annie and de, zekiel have got a job to do armed with charlie. they comb through the cities garbage looking for cardboard plastic and anything else they can sell at a recycling plant. here in argentina,

cuts on anteaus named after the spanish word for cardboard. are a common sight i'm getting your hands dirty, making an honest living. that's what we teach. our kids money was always tight for the couple. and now devastating the high inflation means they can barely make ends meet that are almost we work every day. and now twice as much, but again, one south full used to be enough to buy food, but now we need to it's summer time and scorching hot on the streets of when a cyrus. but the woke up gave the country a much needed breath of fresh air. the national football teams triumph in december was an excuse for a party that lasted 3 days. ah, argentina has always been so crazy. but the world cup, when unleashed an unprecedented wave of nationwide euphoria,

after the relentless onslaught of bad news, the financial crisis spiraling inflation and the pandemic that was finally something to celebrate and provide encouragement. my family, it was bomb for the soul, wanting forget inflation to get politics. at least now we've got 3 stars said that it will get that we know that that it gives us higher. jack, if you fight, you can win and why fighting? our team fought 2 and one. just let you go, jonathan. meaning i don't it doesn't take long to fill up the sack up a little bit ago. yeah, it does. we just got lucky. what so much in one place, a stroke of luck, i'm are abby's him. or what the car can't carry more than $100.00 kilos of extra weight. the sac, the as

a careless securing on the roof will on them. the equivalent of about 15 years. that we get feared, ito is a poor neighbourhood with a high crime rate. it's where diego merit donna grew up a flawed hero of the people. a boy from the slums who rose to super stardom who made mistakes, but stood unconditional love in his legions of fans. in the well cup final, when it looked like argentina might be defeated, annie turned to the date. great soccer legend, giddy came out of the number for i said, marijuana. wherever you are div something's waterfall, send us your hand, you booked your body and whatever. i just don't let them fall in it. we're actually going to do really about the sacks of full that now comes the hard part. soaking out the garbage. they'll be working well into the night.

many of argentina's top football is come from poor neighborhoods. the game is an escape from poverty. when darkness fully africa crowns gather to watch unofficial football tournaments, there's quite a bit of cash at stake at the semi legal events known as portray ross. it's how franken and his living through betting. that's how long ago, when i used to work in play. but iron much better now than with a normal drawing, almost a little bit off of one in the per terror circuits is the cradle of argentinian football. it's way players cut their teeth and when many a discovered ally, the cunning, the daring though this is where the best players start out. and that was, it was matches on fire. frank, who was once approached by a tenant scout to that didn't have what it takes to go professional. he owns enough

. he had to take care of his son and survived a financial crisis. franco is a local legend, but his income isn't secure. are very well. we lost that we screwed us, doesn't matter when he comes, goes and we wanted to win, but this time we didn't know it on the massive well another baking hot day in field eaten annie and as zekiel are exhausted, they were up separating rubbish until 3 in the morning, but there's no time to rest. they need every pest, so i will and i'm going to have a lot of people don't realize what hard work this is about. they think will lay abouts, it, they don't see what we do as work, what it is. and now i have to fix this to it. they're about to head for the recycling yard to see how much they can get for their cardboard. despite the odds, they're optimistic again that you called me, you know,

for me some players still so young but they're well champions. josie, why shouldn't my dreams come true? he all my life is hard, but i've got a goal. i'm c football. i have children, grandchildren, neighbors, you, anything's possible to see if with a life these days is harder than ever. but as a kellen any aren't the kind to complain ah, to day about 1000000000 people live in africa, south of the sahara and says the u. n. that numbers set to double by mid century. in a few years, most africans will also live in urban areas, partly because many people in rural areas are moving there in the hope of a better life. the boom is also fueling a housing crisis. today about half of africa's urban population south of the sahara live in informal settlements. this poses a major challenge for growing cities. as this report from south africa's cape town

shows the township of mussel who millennia cape town has 30000 residents spread across nearly 40 hector's. no zuka lee where is sorting through the wreckage of her home. 2 weeks ago, a fire destroyed 178 shacks. here. homes made of corrugated metal on a wooden frame, sol. so i ran out without knowing what the only thing i have left in my pajamas was my neighbor died in the fire. one of her friends filmed the inferno fires like these are happening more frequently. as the population grows, people are living closer together and heat waves are also more common because of climate change. dozens of homes also burned down recently in cape towns biggest township calisha and not for the 1st time. architects gloria pivots her and her team from the n. t o e. k. allow me are rebuilding the houses, are in the new ones,

are affordable and more durable. and we're here to implement our think aluminum structure, which is why retarded them. i'll talk about am in flood flood. we. we one on into ribbons i a player by is this one survive the latest fire without a trace, the sheet metal they're using as thick her, so fire can't spread as easily from home to home. economy is funded through donations. it's already built 3500 of these new models. in the closer language economy means my home. the n g o wants to help people live in safety and dignity. cedric mays, old corrugated iron heart was replaced a year ago to her long who like to see how things are going. yeah, everything is okay. and her, as you can see, the place are rigor bogus. what it does is roughly roughly 9,

very beautiful. oh it is our shower fund there. love really? sure we're here we go. we're come. i listen. oh i conway. that is room. yeah i for one room push a one check room. and you know, that king must or more like falling down with the wind come with an overhead. diction ordered the rain gone through dead project on but now you live in a beautiful place. my gosh, i can't read things. forgot. cedric may works as a caddy on a golf course. his employer agreed to help finance the construction cost of around $1000.00 euros together with economy. this kind of co financing is the basis of economies funding model. muslim a difficult we pre finance as much as we can of the bulls and the employee employers meet us half way. and sometimes employees also partake in that in that perhaps the employer can pay up front and in the employees pay back the employer um

at a rate that suitable to their relationship and their financial reality. the golf course paid back their interest free loan within a year economies housing initiative as part of the project by it collaboration. it helps employers provide they work is with a better home for the equivalent of about 70 euros a month. these huge demand in formal settlements will dominate africa, cities in the near future. they already home to one in 5 cape town, residence joan ball. nick is an urban development advisor. he says, fire resistant homes can quickly improve living conditions and townships in times of climate change. summers are hotter the windsor, significantly more ferocious or the sketch and always has had heavy winds. but now they, they're more sustained and more unpredictable and often much more volatile. and even the in migration of people are moving from the room, enters into the cities,

is pushed by the fact that sustainability and survivability in the rural areas is being profoundly impacted by the changes into our economy. isn't only making homes fire resistant together with the urban think tank from e t h 0. the n t o has replaced an entire informal settlement with 2 story homes. the impalas shock pilot project has already billed more than 70 units. the last ones will be handed over to the new owners to day cap towns deputy maya has arrived . the city council wants to officially honor the new homes and their own is like a good back wash. oh, so you saw it's it's, it's an important mix. the home, yes, the home it makes the home that he does. are you taking pride in yo, yo s, it's incredible ins. currently we have

a population sitting at just about 4800000 people. the data suggested rules are partial composed to 6 were liberal at the end of this decade, really to plan differently with the going so far, every near to ship your partnerships to respond to the housing problem. i think it's a good place to start in an emergency. this st provides access for fire trucks and ambulances, where corrugated iron huts one stood cramped together. there are now children playing the project also plans to provide solar power for the neighborhood. looking at a 3 megawatts of solar energy production in the kweisi park alone. i and see the potential for i think it's about 2 gigawatts of renewable energy production in kylie cha. initiatives like empower shack and e. kyle ami: us still to scares in south africa, where they're desperately needed. people like no zacalo leeway, can't wait for years for

a safe place to live. a nice evening won't get. i'm devastated colored wood. that was my 1st fire and i haven't been sleeping well since my neighbors said as a big fire every summer it's become normal here. what was the guy punch? in the last 3 years, fires and kate towns, informal settlements, have nearly doubled to 5000 a year in people my lily, they're worried that if some is keep getting hotter, this is just the beginning. now how can we feed a world of 10000000000 people by 2050 equitably unsustainably just under 5000000000 hacked as of land already being used by agriculture. that's around 37 percent of the global land surface by mid century will need to produce about 60 percent more food to ensure that no one goes hungry. in recent decades,

modern agricultural methods of lead to greater harvests. but it's been at the expense of the soil, in many regions of the world, large areas of arable land and now under threat. and yet a healthy soil is essential for successful harvests and for a healthy planet. right now, these are living on your body. but don't worry, they're supposed to be there, they're microscopes and the planet is covered in them. and there are tons of them in the soil because they literally make fertilizer for plants. these are some of the only things on earth that can do that. we depend on soil for almost all of the food that we eat, and because 90 percent of the planet soil could be degraded by 2050 scientists and even agribusiness think microbes could be key to averting of food crisis. so let's take a journey to the invisible world right under our noses and our feet to see

what happens to soils when microbes, the out of whack. we can look back to the 1930s in the united states. settlers replace native grasses with farm let and then intensively tilt which killed microbes and degraded soil after a series of droughts. the damage soil was easily picked up by the wind and turn it to so called black blizzards. millions of tons of tops, well, just blew away in what came to be known as the dust bowl. although farming methods have changed, somewhat soil degradation is still a global problem. what we are doing basically is destroying the soil and now and not renewable for what we have been doing so far. the last 2 and the navy east. can you soil out the strike to grow plant? we've been under valuing them and expecting them to stay healthy, but tilling over using chemicals and climate change, or harming or soil. this is

a problem for growing food, as well as resources for clothing in construction. soil is also key to storing carbon and filtering water. to make so else healthy again, we need to start seeing them as what they are. entire ecosystems teeming with hidden life, all run by microbes. all this under our feet is top soil where most of the insects and microbes live along with plant roots and small animals. one grim of this can contain millions of micros and a few worms. healthy soil will have a diversity of microbes. the most common ones are bacteria and fungi. one of their most important jobs is transforming nutrients. every single nutrients, thoughtful on the planet, mostly driven by microscope. none of these cycles really exist in a vacuum. they all into one of those nutrients cycles, as with carbon, plants and animals are made mostly of carbon. and when they die,

they're broken down. my micros. no microbes, no d, competition. the microbes use some of the carbon to reproduce, storing it in the soil, and breathed the rest of it out, sending it back to the atmosphere. another nutrient cycle happens with nitrogen, which makes most of the air around us, and is one of the main nutrients plants used to grow. plants can't get it from the air by themselves, so they partner with micros. and we can find evidence of the nutrients cycle by looking at certain plants like these beans, which are considered nitrogen. fixing the beans create these little root nodules that become home to a certain type of bacteria. in return, they change nitrogen into a form that plants can access microbes, specifically fund guy, also exchange other nutrients of plants. they are very fine routes called hifi. the intertwined themselves with the roots at the plant. the fungus is really good at releasing things like spots for the site from flow, which is the plan to get so it starts the end exchanges that with the plan in

return for things like sugar, which the plant can make. and there's also some evidence this relationship makes the plant more able to withstand drought and disease in a degraded soil. these new chain cycles aren't working as well as they could be. climate change is one cause of degrading soils with drought and extreme weather, causing them to dry out in a road intensive. agriculture can be another cause. as pesticides in ur, besides kill off beneficial microbes and reduce their activity. the more degraded soil is the more chemicals are needed to grow stuff degrading the soil even further . this whole plot of land was intensively farm for 30 years. and you can really see it in the soil. it's super sandy, dry and degraded. degraded soils also lose their ability to hold and filter water are more susceptible to erosion and have less of those beneficial microbes,

meaning plants don't grow as well. but soil health is about more than just our food security. boil community health is actually the foundation of all acre system, but natural and man is the nation of something crumble. everything else comes tumbling down and agriculture might actually hold the key to making our soils healthy. again, the same plot of land, not so far from the degraded bit years of regenerative agriculture, has brought back a lot of microbial activity. the soil looks completely different. this form is a best practice example. no chemicals are used and the soil microbes, arthur riving. just look how beautiful these 2 meters are. no, tell agriculture, lead soil, undisturbed, which allows the microbes living inside the clamps to thrive. specifically those fund guy, high feet, which are important for soil structure that can be a kilometer of them in

a grams. oil and cover crops planted to leave in the ground by micros of carbon to chow, down on, as well as producer rosen and nutrient las unfortunately, this kind of farming just isn't possible everywhere. you can do it from best thinking. war wants that the go run. fast the mountain area where the before and we so this grady that these techniques on multi now to recover the soil in due time. here's microbes come in a larger scale. the most common uses, bio fertilizers. they used like chemical base fertilizer if they contain fund guy or bacteria. so the relation is a big enough threat that bear a company known precisely i. cultural chemicals is also interested. they're telling me already in the countries by adults is

certainly certainly held to review. the chemical for the company is also investing in seeds that have been infused with micro because delivering microbes along with seeds is the most targeted way to apply them. seats can also be planted with a coating of microbes, conservation organizations are using this approach to restore ecosystem. a problem with commercial microbial products is that the microbes are not specifically adapted to environment. non native microbes could find it hard to survive, rendering the process useless. and because these are living organisms, they could cause an imbalance and the micro biome, we sees something we, we really have to, to taking concentration, especially. ah, we found jain because they spread faster and they are. maurice d sheeny sank. even bare agrees just oh, it doesn't necessarily need

a automatic yamaha hold. since soils are different around the world, we would ideally develop microbial products for specific regions. but that will take time and more research. unfortunately, our soil help is an emergency. we are going to movies because we actually govern soils, and we see the cheapest way to recovery because we are covering them while we are, are maintaining the ged to for large farms, bio fertilizers, are a step above chemicals and where possible. agriculture that relies on helping native my groups like on this farm is the way to go. all reporters have been tracking down, takes the snacks again. this time in indonesia, ah shimoda on a multicultural port city on the north coast of java has been shaped by european

chinese arabic and japanese cultures. and that's reflected in its fine cuisine. one specialty can be found by whom to suit those ticklish, that lumber is a kind of sweet or see re spring roll. trees. look, p o version was created, went on to him who said those chinese grandfather and in bernisha grandmother combined their recipes more than 100 years ago. now their grandson runs a snack bar and is sharing the olympia recipe with us. all the room argues off. we washing cook the bamboo shoots into their soft at home. then we bring them here and mix them. which trim does that eggs to make the filling will talk with it all goes into

a large walk where it's quickly stirred and fried. then the mixture is spread onto a length of go. now they have to work quickly. it's very popular with guests with produce 500 leukemia and weekdays and twice as many holidays where i'm a lump ya are served fresh or fried. the price stays the same with before the corona virus pandemic. customers used to line up at the stand and eat right here. the look p a was served with a save re coconut sauce. ah. today the lumpy spring rows are only sold impractical to go boxes. a lot of us let i know every time i go to simmering,

i have some of these lumpy. it's famous, a legend to young and the doctor now. and that is just a legendary snack with a long tradition. and that is a little from us that global 3000 dis make. thanks for joining us. we'd love to hear from you. so right to us at global 3000 at d, w dot com and come and find us on face. that is d w global ideas. see you next time and until then take care. ah ah, with

you. my name is theodore at a time, and vasquez like, i'm 34 years old. i've been in prison for 10 years and 6 months. convicted of murder because she had a miscarriage in el salvador. has one of the harshest abortion laws in the world.

dear dora's unbelievable story is one of many in a system that despises with. in 15 minutes on d w. the conflict zone with sebastian. it says it will stand with crane for as long as we take for joining the union. so a long way to go with the war. now it is 2nd year. what happens to the senses? agency body membership here says this so vital my guess this week is a barley, a vice president of the european parliament conflict zone, 90 minutes on d w. o. you become a ready?

no, that was a hackers, paralyzed between your societies. computers that are some, are you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can go in for, and that's how they can also go terribly. watch it. now i'm new to mind is with getting ahead using tech as our documentary series of founders, valley foliage africa to meet the founders. empowering their continent through digital innovation to transform and work in health and living conditions in their country. and inspiring the world with

their ideas. founders valley africa. watch you know w documentary. ah ah, this is the w news, like from berlin, june 20 nations divided by the war in ukraine. foreign ministers wrap up their meeting in india with breast and concerns are but china fighting with russia. there is no joint declaration, but the u. s. and russia to speak on the sidelines also on the program and seasonally low rainfall in.
