biting into this juicy burger and your dining companion says to you, actually that hamburger is not made from cows. it's made from golden retrievers. should meet. 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 in meeting cultures around the world, people learned to classify a small handful of animals as edible and all the rest they classify as disgusting. a docu series about our complex relationship with animals. the great media debate. this week on d. w. ah ah ah, with climate change is transforming a walt causing us to question old. so tony tease and a bond and longstanding practices to adopt, we'll need to do

a rethink. welcome to this new edition of equal africa. i am sandra tree, no video joining you from counselor here in uganda. and i am chris alone saying hello from nigeria. sometimes i rethink can also mean revive in old traditions. as one of our reports shows on here is what else is coming up today. we had to tanzania to see how theories are managing this is abide despite on going drop ship go to france. we are, researchers are 23 invasive plants to make and very mentally friendly cosmetics. and go to later connor in kenya, where the algola efficient people are fighting to preserve their way of life. our 1st report at texas certain is here where conditions in schools are often shooting. in some cases, they are no longer a safe environment for the students. mismanagement and economic was hung, taken

a heavy toll on public boarding schools, attended by some of the countries poorest children. now these are often the worst affected. this is why attorneys in n g all is aiming to build a brighter future for kids by turning schools into social enterprises. the sight of students congregating in a court yard looks much the same the world over, but this boarding school in north western tunisia is different from most. it operates on a sustainable business model project to initiate a lot v hummadi ames to improve living conditions, education opportunities and future prospects. not just but unity as most impoverished children, but their families to report area. well, i really want to, we can project is quite simple as it sounds like it seeks to transform public schools into social enterprises and through energy autonomy their own food, self sufficiency or del why fostered because this country is going through

a very deep crises, economic social on climate crises that have an impact on childhood agreement and therefore on future generations. i don't feel porthos in our store wasn't real. when hummadi 1st visited the school in 2012, it was in a catastrophic state. the facilities were dilapidated. the electrical systems hazardous. there was no insulation or heating, although temperatures here regularly dropped below freezing in the winter. the institution was so short of money holding students could only have one shower am um, pupils were falling sick. such conditions are unfortunately common, and soon as he has schools, especially in poorer rural areas, the countries once renowned education system is a lang over $100000.00 pupils, dropouts each year. but now applications at their school in the town of mocked her

up and absenteeism down a mainly been m r, attended the school until last year. we believe that the school helped us realize we can dream because before we didn't dream, now we do when we are confident that we will achieve our dreams. this will help will and henry then the schools transformation is initiated by taking advantage of a plentiful resource. the sun, i'm at ease angio raised money to install solar water heaters, so the boarders could take regular hot showers for the 1st time. over a 100 solar panels now produce 4 times more electricity than the school uses. the excess has enabled the project to settle outstanding power bills and supply electricity to 3 more schools. insulating the dormitories also lower energy consumption and cost. food autonomy is another important pillar in the self sustaining model and 8 hector farm and shows the students get healthy and balanced meals. satler's producers sell to local shops or wholesale markets,

providing the school extra income. but the land bears more fruit than that. on a kin for we offered agricultural training to parents who are out of work american and now they've become entrepreneurs because we also set up an agricultural business and made them shareholders the farm employees. 8 parents who now receive fair pay and other benefits like social security. we shy of shy of has been working here for over a year. when i saw a lower case of the wall, a william project means everything to me. if you have it under control, i used to be unemployed for multiple days, but has changed my life completely. complet morbidly to cope with the increasingly sparse rainfall. drought tolerant vegetables have been planted and tripped irrigation, and stalled. monotonousness doesn't use allows us to water just along the line. the

seeds have been sown was all over that way. only the amount needed is used and no water is wasted. as we, as it also keeps weeds from growing the flashing anymore. is it a butter funds? generated we're used to refurbish buildings and out features like sports facilities . basketball is one of over a dozen extracurricular activities on offer. this group is mixed gender. say that, and i mean, i've been here for 2 years, and this is where all my friends and teachers are left with my siblings and i have been coming here to the club since i was little was if i was so happy when i heard there was going to be a basketball club there and there are other club that i chose basketball because i love about ah, another popular courses, music robotics web design and entrepreneurship or so on offer. and there's a reproductive health program. numerous civil society initiatives working to

improve chin as your schools. but the waller, we can project as seen as unique. why many, for it's long term vision with sustainability at at school. he's got the results have been very positive, so far, illusion and that's all down to efficiency either by making use of what's available by exploiting the power of the sun or if that is very important. says present bolt on is for hawker says should moody's and hopefully this model can be adapted and applied in other places requiring i'd doors on the wall look tree hummadi has his sight sat on exactly that. he plans to replicate the model, developed her in 3 other regions, and ultimately throughout gina's here, after all the while the we can maxim is let's invest in children to build a better future. over, we've often reported on eco africa above the damage done by invasive plants, such as water high seas. in france,

japanese not wheat is also in famous for display st. native plants species. scientists are the university of mont paulia. have discovered the surprising feature of the invader as you this combine this weeks. doing your bit ha, every country helps with japanese, not we'd has spread all along the old river in southern france. the invasive species has displaced many native plants here. and it's shallow roots are putting the river banks at risk of erosion. researchers at mumford yay! university. are clearing the land wheat. they've discovered it has surprising properties. crushed dried and ground into powder. it can dramatically speed up chemical processes. whether i

assume it's either the roots or the leaves which are rich and minerals, metallic minerals of interest to them, they'll be thermally treated to obtain this vegetable powder, it put on the vegetable powder is already itself an eco catalyst. that is to say, a reaction booster. which will allow us to transform a simple molecule into a more complex molecule picks the researchers say this so called eco catalyst could make the manufacturer of products like face creamed, more environmentally friendly, underwent because the field of cosmetics today still use of mineral, or petrochemical, catalina this idea of plant base catalyst has never been developed before jemma to develop the of the researchers have already developed at least 60 plant based catalysts. they're now being marketed by your start up at the university of more videos. and how about you?

if you are also doing your bit, tell us about is this is l websites. oh, send us a tweet. hash tag doing your base. we shak your stories. wo new products from nature. we also need new products for nature. in other words, we need to rethink our production methods to ensure we don't cause even more environmental devastation. for example, the construction industry is responsible for almost 40 percent of c o 2 emissions worldwide. that is right, grease and concrete, which is made with summit, is the climate killer. launch the responsible for that statistic. construction sites here in africa already use as much summit as in europe and that upward trend look said to continue. so it is high time to sort recycle this building material

a few farms in germany. a doing just that. germany creates 280000000 tons of concrete waste every year. but at least this rebel will soon be repurposed into new concrete. accompany in southern germany specializes in recycling, building materials, a crushing machine turns the concrete pieces into small granules, which are sorted by size. the granules are then sold to cement manufacturers. china onside processing can save millions of truck kilometers. how many kilometers inch, bon sand used to produce concrete is usually dug from large pins, then transported hundreds of kilometers. the same is true for gravel. the 2nd component in concrete, but sand and gravel are becoming scarce. as this construction recycling plant,

old red roofing tiles are also used to produce concrete, recycled sand is taken from an old construction pit. it's cleaned uncivil before being sorted by size of of the, of a bomb. everything here used to be a bridge or a floor slab or a house and we're making something new from it. better mob, all this material would have ended up in landfills under, in some dom i now we can use it to make high quality building products that are used in new construction project. will i use it for the recycled products? so then delivered to customers like to this nearby concrete manufacturer. this company is different than most of its competitors, because globally, only 2 percent of building materials get recycled. but this company depends on recycled materials, which account for 30 percent of its entire production and the recycled concrete is

less expensive to the materials are mixed in this plant and then delivered to customers. the final product will look like this. a building material that many customers prefer over conventional products. this name. so while it's becoming more popular because people understand that we have to conserve resources and that's why demand is now greater than before, middle away, nicholas will be for your other solutions are also being developed at this cement plant, for example, permeable, concrete that can absorb rainwater. helping improve and climates this cuz some of the vague mazel, this interstate rainwater seems through this concrete and goes under ground one which can help improve groundwater levels include fossil, household, beautiful bay. so this could help prevent concrete deserts, with completely sealed surfaces and recycled construction materials are also

brought to this southern german company. they are constantly testing new stone formulas in the lab, experimenting with different colors, shapes, and components to increase the portion of recycled content, which is 30 to 40 percent. the recycled look is intentional. improve omagh if, if you were primarily talking about up cycling horn quantity, we want to produce a very high quality design. b, this tile pattern creates an entirely new surfaces. you look ah, mulligan, loyal booklet. this is what it should look like. a new generation of recycled site, walk with lots of green grass sprouting up in between and space for water to seep into the ground. this is what many customers now once a new growth market for the concrete industry. many regions of africa also have ground surfaces which don't lead water through before completely

different reason. it is because the rain seasons fail, living much of the grown dry and hardest concrete. so when it does rain, the water can be absorbed and simply one. so. so what can farmers do? our next report takes us to the i russia region in tanzania, where an initiative is putting a simple but effective idea into practice. here in the ingo luca village not been tons. anya, hardly anyone has a t b. that's why linda limbaugh brings a small mortal cinema with her. she was here a few months ago on behalf of the lead foundation it tanzanian conservation organizations. i am on another global, new global scale. what i want to show a film about key see key hi here to d key. see key hi means leaving trees, tampa. we will start with the long lines in the village and later in the evening we

will show the fuel on it. not lost in america. it's still early afternoon in the villages lighting the a fuel digging in the born dry it holes in the f as far as the i can see. it seems like all $7000.00 residents are out and about. be are digging here because of another movie presented by linda lingle and believe foundation in partnership with the dutch n g o. hold just dick it. john mooney remembers it. well is he digs it trench and fuels it with grass seed loosely, her grandma palmer get on the film told me that you can do something about the dryness and drought of recent years for like a day or glove. we can tell the land and create water basins, which we fill with seeds to help the fields recover, and that was all about in the canal coil mazda mazda. it is 5 pm and linda m liam was colleague, makes an announcement about the film screaming of taking place that evening. it's

a welcome change for the villagers. they only get to see a film every few months. the children excited to see what's coming. yes, an emma, this feeling explains how to protect your land from drought. people have cut down the trees many times in recent years. oh god, the land became baron and that harvests got worse off. now we want to show people how to reclaim that moisture so that their yields increase and they have enough posture to feed their families on my share mom and it's finally short time. it starts with j. manya is very popular. comedian interns idea. well let me catch you cutting down any more trees or fry. you like an egg in my hand. i am declaring war. let's do it together. no, no,

i don't want to see any more trees chalked down. i'm gone, you want it to rain. every one in anger rocha once reign in the film is well received. people here have become familiar with drought over the past few years. what it means to be thirsty all day long. the field showed the village of the small shrubs or trees. toms can grow into large trees if given a chance. first viable plans are selected. next they approved so that the only strongest shoots remain. then the trees must be marked for every one to seek. and importantly, the plant must be protected from hungry kettle. according to the campaign, this method is managed to save over $9000000.00 trees. intern zeniah, a re greening measure of this magnitude has an impact on the local weather and can also bring rain. this means the country will cool down in crop yields will improve . at least in theory, in anger, it's still

a dream dog. the last month has seemed less precipitation than in previous years. which is one reason why the digging rein. bessemer, according to the campaign, they are now over $200000.00 such bisons intern, sonya and kenya. people here in one euro, 50 peson, diligent workers leg dina. hosea can manage fife. eddie mckenzie in among 4 was yes, the same course as we make money or digging. now later when the grass is grown, it will benefit both our kettle and us because we save ourselves the trouble of carrying food to the kid to all the room. my then even when was i was able to let ruin my then one won't go if we employ these practices, they help us to take care of our life stork and you know, to say, dear berlin, full rain water normally evaporates on the dry soil. but now it can collect in the

basins, this gives the water more time to see into the soil. and this allows vegetation to grow, not only inside the basins, but also around them. this re grinning program is in full swing and gaining in popularity. strategies like this one have an impact on the global climate and could kevin held to slow down global warming and the pupil of anger luca a doing their part or staying in east africa? we know and look for answers to the pressing question. how can people insure food security in the face of climate crisis? this issue is particularly argent for people who leave on the shores of lake to come in northern canyon. the elmore people have long relied on fishing, but that is becoming increasingly difficult. the entire community is under threat. we paid them a visit. alexander lin appear,

looks out over the lake. that's been the source of life of the people for century. the old model or an ethnic groups that leave in the north of canyons eastern province. born in 1958, when appear has watched his curtis slowly disappear over the eas, due to migration into marriage. and more recently climate change. and now the mall are losing their land and suckling sites to resume water levels in lake to kind of have in golf to roughly 800 square kilometers of land over the course of a decade. and letting the lake like 10 percent bob ogo minima. then it will go burger then of in the past and there wasn't any water here. it didn't reach this far. i didn't. now the water had completely flooded our village to. they used to be roads here. now there is only water everywhere. you look. most of them and i just swallowed up my totally disappeared by me. i'm another dog the dag.

as rainfall became heavier and more frequent, the lake expanded and changed the landscape so much that lin appears. village was suddenly situated on an island. many moved as a result the others had to make major adjustments. not only was the path to the mainland, now some must. so was the fresh water pumping station. now they get their water from the lake, which leaves them susceptible to be seizes the like most here lynn appeared has been a fisherman all his life. but ironically, the expanding lake has actually devastated his livelihood before the waters rose. he would catch about a 100 fish a day. now he average is less than 10. fish can be found in deeper waters. but the bolts are in safe enough to take out that far less fish means less income and less to eat. putting a father strain on local families the children's lives are affected in other ways too. there are 2 schools at and malo bait,

but the primary school is now partially so much. basilica, d, you a quote. in the past we could walk to school who had leg. cause is it did, but when the flooding turned our land into an island that was no longer possible, it took, i did then the county government gallon provided boats for us to get there. he took to locate a sable, an awkward rudy up by him. by and often overlooked side effect of global warming is a school disruption. it threatens both the physical safety and psycho social well being of students and teachers. richard smarter'n is observing a drop in academic performance as well as attendance. the once crowded classrooms are often half empty. smarter'n who's been teaching for 20 years, said he's never witnessed anything like this. claimant, fig. you're back in the average lives than the climate change, just threatening the existence of the molo tribe. because we fully depend on the

lake from fluids over my says, a legal, we don't have fish, we suffer in, we're work, we don't have fish to. so and by balanced music was on, was on my get with her 0 would want to be a woman. and that only is part of the valley, just merge. but so at the water, my little didn't come up with all my joy, our existence, fresh drinking water yesterday. really? uh huh. saw the remedy to go. now medea let the fresh water for the elmore low, are still fighting to uphold their traditional customs and culture. while up to a 1000 people identify themselves as and molo most awful families that have intermarried with other tribes in the region. like this o'connor some bull route and reveal it, that too has diluted their unique identity. but they want to preserve what they have and looking for ways to make the situation more tenable. francis monia

is a climate scientist based in the lake to kind of base him. he says, putting in trees would be one relatively simple, yet effective step in the right direction. it renews the level of water that is going to lead to corner us where us it will be newspaper lucian, and that is also hoarsely, it was another level of planting trees could help. but it would also mean giving up arable land, and most importantly it wouldn't help immediately. the fate of this small community starkly, illustrates the severity of the climate crisis. the elmore law have lived in this area for 2000 years. if nothing changes, it could all be lost in, within just one decade. if we don't manage to mitigate the effect of climate change would might so all but facing the same challenges as the old model, people that's food for thought for me. and for all of us, and that brings us to the end of our show. i'm crystal omes,

saginaw from ogen states, nigeria. and it is a good buy for me to sandra to nobody here in uganda. and of course, don't forget you can always stay in touch with us on, on our social media channels, or even better, right, to us, if you have any good ideas on how to protect the environment. so long for now, take care. ah ah, with ah, with

who was making the headlines and what's behind them. d. w, news, africa, the show that was the issues shaping the continent. life is slowly getting back to normal. yeah. way on the streets to give you in the report on the inside of our

correspond that was on the ground reporting from across the continent and all the trend stuff, the mazda to 90 minutes on d. w with . ah, sometimes a seed is all you need to allow the big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental conservation to life with learning paths like global ideas. we will show you how climate change and environmental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can all make a difference. knowledge of gross through sharing. download it now for free. that has been promoted. you do the full. i'd have to channel fantastic. ah,

she survived outfits. thanks to music. he was the nazis favorite conductor. he is morally degenerate to musicians under the swastika, a documentary about the sounds of power, inspiring story about survival of the home. i don't get the tennis. i was the only one. what lies it look? music in nazi germany, watch now on youtube. d. w documentary. do are flying rivers created by a waterfalls throwing water particles into the air b, trees and sweating out up to 1000 liters of water in a day or sea forest fires evaporating. large amounts of moisture tune in to get the answer and learn more about this phenomenon. i think

the 5 o'clock dental and invisible river that flows through the sky starts march 23rd on d w. o . ah ah, this is the w news. why? bit from berlin tonight wanted for war crimes and international arrest warrant issued for russian president vladimir putin. the international criminal court in the hague says that who is responsible for illegal deportations? ukrainian children to russia also giving up to like.
