and done, and the song is adapted to the fact that we have leopard too. we have a lot of leopards leopard dessert every day. reality for us is already lost 3 horses in 2 months. mm hm. very connected to their land. you know, mostly in this form has given you a wonderful life with rosco wine in the dns account for just 6 percent of the country's population. but most of the farm land belongs to them. gentlemen, are choose to have stolen violence. that is not only in namibia, so that was in all colonies has such a story of, of australian america and, and after the after and aren't namibian and independent in 1990 of the government of the day, aust land owner to have a more fair distribution of land and my, my,

my father at the time he actually sold to some 27 percent of his land. so owning owning land is not really doesn't make you does make you rich. it's a, it's sir working the land successfully that can make you some money. miss harry schneider's semi arid land has another important resource on much water and plenty of it. the conditions are ideal for racing livestock, one of his herero employees mondanca looks after the cattle is an absolute her whom he lives out here completely on his own. look at his pants is eccentric. he is with me now for 34 years.

date of birth. can we wondered where it would be by the 8th and on it a value up until suits, you know, it says he ran away, but he came back. harry is proud of his heritage. he doesn't spend much time thinking about germany's colonial past or the deeds of his ancestors. it's a very important part of the development of the, of the, of the country in namibia which was at that stage called south west africa and domina. and, or before that, it was, it didn't even have a name a, you know, form, beauty or european name me. and as for it was sort of this dark curve, bit dark africa the time, and then sent 1st the, the explorers came in to the development of the country and i think we could appreciate it. like every, every nation needs to appreciate the history. german settlers were the 1st to my

nubian soil for diamonds. when germany last world war one, namibia became a south african protectorate. while the mines went to the multinational company to bears. the corporation has dominated the diamond market for more than a century. today in the media alone, it owns millions of euros and profit angelie diamond's mind here, particularly valuable because they come from a unique source on the atlantic floor. this mining vessel brings up diamonds from a depth of a 150 meters. it belongs to the namibian government, and debates with

tens of thousands of diamonds are then delivered to the capital vin took we've been given a special permit to visit this closely guarded place in the center of the city, diamonds, with a value of hundreds of millions of euro's being sorted in this room. a good as in august. so, but as audrey of you, how does she to not is a supervisor at the semi nationalized diamond joint venture in dtc, and he's with his quality sequence. it was o diggler quality. she to not is the person who determines the value of the gems.

before they go to market the my son clear, they are, the more there was more ah, did my my my be mixing and diversity invoice. but when it's bullies, you probably have to add another 30 to 40 because you might have to pay 40000 for voice don't like that. you hear a 1000 diamonds of the highest quality. their market value is around $29000000.00 euros. you can count him, but it was bigger for ela, so we weigh them at the end of the day. so we don't leave this building and do with bow and recall where we have, but we have wrinkles of each year, full 100 kilograms of diamonds, end up on this table. the really unique ones are stored separately. well,

and is the, the biggest thing of it is this is a brilliant, nice color. the stone is you can see looks pink is a very red color. so we're talking a lot of my youngest on, i mean they froze it rough estimate and is why 3 or by 3000000 was the last for the stone is painful. when i look at this guy is living i don't make more money in me and you cannot afford it. it's only the shade or the guys with oil in a lot of money that i'm going based on a good was when he gets goes an auction, even if you go to the prices they go for serious once they've been polished, these times will be delivered to the world's most renowned jewel, it's yet very few namibian profit from this wealth. ah,

the vast, an ancient to midday. it stretches along the country's western coast, the hostile environment, beckon's prospect as well. oh i how are you? very good. oh, the navy lab, i think let's take here. maybe the media. ok. okay. mm. every man in m bundles. family is a minor. when should we take the crowbar cable with it? not necessary. you know, says have longwood as attain. it's like my brother because we are growing up together. yeah. now and if i'm for 20 years, the to have met twice a month here. yeah. i see i'm, let's look over there. okay. so they're looking for valuable materials. his

blood normally needs that one. yeah. there finds a used for small pieces of jewelry or therapeutic purposes. it's amazon. it can you find any day month? no, no dam of the i don't and no damage or if there was diamonds, maybe those years. oh, we was all that ideally. oh they're hoping to find stones that can provide them with a better life. they will always hear ah, on the 20 sir. oh yeah. follow that evening and you can then you can get or get of something like that lesbians. so good. that is totally and looking for big pieces, leg nice big pieces, where they can say maybe big leg my hand. ah,

they'll only leave the desert after that found something ah, a week later in the small cafe, all eyes are on a bundle. proudly shows off. you small, amazing, my precious before he sells them. well, that's not that's but look, only look, i think his wits that i what do you think is it nice? oh, nice that we don't know. i it like to get $250.00 for the stones. just enough to cover his living expenses until he can make it back to the desert. he had to mike souvenir shop. where moto, hello. how's it going? yeah, i have some business of done with her again. mm.

clean the nissan. oh, lovely color. yeah, it's nice color this is not so good. yes it okay, we're going to prove it and no tours, not too interesting. as for moment, bundle is one of nippy. his last independent prospectors. in the land of diamonds, he leads a life of poverty. a situation many find in reaching ah, on the outskirts of vin took lies, cut a tura in english. the name means the place when no one would like to live.

most of the residents here live on less than one euro a day. this 31 year old is a local celebrity work. but i know your mom. i think it big. yeah, no problem. thank you. thank you very much michael. i michelle hello is the charismatic leader of a small radical opposition party. he grew up here doug, i was going on. he wants people here to demand more that they get as if on some, anna, when i, when i'm at the woman norfleet up, they're building luxury apartments in the city. but here there's nothing. they don't do anything for us. we're not, we don't even have paid streets right either with

take a look. first of that, this looked like it's a rich country to govern. the money in this country is only the concentration of a few health. but majority of our people still continue to language and forward to handle it in the hands of the white people in the few elite blacks, michael's opinion, swapper the party that's been in power for 3 decades is hopelessly corrupt. ah, buck, let's go on. we're looking for fighters, men gone, why don't you join the movement of the movement? nippy his cheek vara travels in luxury. he says he made his fortune trading crypto currencies. he wants to see foreign pass, exploiting namibian workers driven out of the country. of the construction industry as been entirely taken over by the chinese. so the chinese have taken over a majority of the contracts in this country. one is this new highway that goes to

the airport. if the rain comes, then it washes this road away like there was nothing. another major problem is that the chinese companies have allegedly deceived namibian workers about their wages. oh, is called a michael to help power to the workers they've been striking since then. rude. people have the power you must lend to stand up and fight for yourself. months the company to tax 10 percent of workers wages for social security contributions. but no contributions have been received by the government since 2019 do. now it is clear that the swap or government and the chinese are business dealing from all of us government is always going after small businesses, nearby beard own companies, forcing them to pay decks,

but they are chinese friends. they are busy protecting them. they must refund you all that money and then you receive tax exemptions. so don't miss the room is daniel the harley, that they are going to pick up their bigs because we don't want things in this country with michael has no official authority, but seeks to dialog anyway. good judge. english people poor 0. his okay my, that my chinese is also a little bit of work. oh, i finally agree to negotiate with michael. though the media is to be transparent. what we have to talk today is to be on the record while you deducting decks from the walkers by donald ping it over to the government. i did one. yeah. i had to go. when tax no you as the company.

i went to pay that tax, that is due to government by the money of the walk us. you are going to give it back to the walk us. that money is for their holiday. that is what's going to happen. that's it. by wednesday, the walk as i went to report to me, if they have not been paid, then i'll make sure all of you will sit in jail on thursday and it's going to be for a very long time. ok. wednesday they saw that people are big. i hope i do long, i mean has been known to be a peaceful god. sometimes you need to use violence in order for you to send a message. and the message is to say that stop is breaking them events. if you good thing i was writing, i may be and then will fight fire with fire. demanding justice if needs be through threatening violence is risky, he could backfire,

but for now it's working. the company pays the next day. he targets chinese vendors in chinatown. so this, this thing we think under them, this is audrey harvey and faith. javier not though that they do all their phones got mobile after this, michael is arrested for incitement of violence with awe. china has long been an ally of swapper since may be in independence. china has financially supported the ruling party. most of the public buildings in wind hook have been built by chinese contractors. swapper headquarters and the interior ministry are examples. in the meantime, china controls one of the country's most strategic assets. it's uranium mines.

namibia is one of the world's leading producers of uranium. one man has long taken a critical view of china's activities in his country. his location is being kept secret because he receives many threats. i am decently under surveillance without any dog. i've been beaten or put into a hospital whose occasion and a station bessy precautions at all times. i do not ties on greenway. we're going to john grub law isn't it may be his most famous investigative journalist. he discovered that a 3rd country was actually using china as a cover when he came to contracts for public buildings. oh,

i found this file that was in here. you have the original documentation. all the invoices are on the construction of stars. that's the namibian presidential headquarters, and you have the see $29000000.00 transferred from namibia to john john. the united nations does not permit certain deals to be made with north korea. the penalty for violations is sanctions when news of the payment became public, all the north korean construction companies, employees left the country within 24 hours. john was 1st on the scene back then. there was some sort of a public. oh, and they ran, i mean, they literally lift the food standing on the table like that. i am the you in fear didn't maybe it was indirectly financing the north korean nuclear weapons program

with projects such as the state house. ah, north korea also profited from other public contracts, such as the construction of the museum of independence in front of the museum. there is a statue of the country's national hero and former president, sam knew yuma this looks like it's, you know, cost out of bronze. that is in fact it's kind of a plastic like a polymer. the day, despite bite, you see the cracks and peering everywhere. it's all fake stickle and stuff for song fake museum with half finished communist and spied frescoes that supposed no. this is a good dixon version that use mercy. another reason namibia is so

attractive for asia, is its pristine natural environment. gigantic open spaces and nearly uninhabited. namibia has only 3 residents per square kilometer making at one of the world's most sparsely populated countries. ah, ah ah, it's a paradise for many wild animals. ah, but hell for an endangered species of friend nasir us? let me be his largest reiner reserve is located in the northern part of the country free waldron, ostrich as a kill daily around the world. the horns assaulted high prices in asia. ah,

to help protect him from pouches. the reserved protein of french in g o. mom and protect. yes, we're not was on goods on dumb all brucely. i don't want to see that, for example, no does for the movie were thought i know, i know really going to this is increasing good mobile or the range is a trying to prepare for real attack these simulations and now the trainers to assess the reaction of the ranges in crisis lation ah, he's getting up. it looks like a military exercise preparation for an armed battle, a fight for life nach just what it is wild wide, an average of a $150.00 range is

a killed each year. oh many, are you ever ever had so many people most going to boost who said go your friend so and then and are we all many people? did you go see why that's my fault? i was i thought you were going to die blah blah blah blah. blah, if your team was ready, you will not ready. and that's a big, big, big mistake you think, but just gonna say to you guys, we're gonna should jin free for minute, get ready? no, there will. sure. bye night guys. there will should by note that you will all be in town that this, that's way with read 0 law gala in the middle of gina alice one. this is the war of our generation for us, for our century. it's about the survival of hundreds of species which will die out if we don't act in. i've heard of a reserve in south africa and in which a $94.00 rhinos were slaughtered in less than a week. she measured poem on the phone. i can't imagine a world without wild animals. that's one of the last bits of magic left on earth

for me, were annihilating a different company 8 when he's not on deployment, a tuba to is a beekeeper in france. then the one of the biggest problems that his true face is, is a lack of resources. you're right with . i don't sell the engines just shot or this happens quite a bit. it's 2 or 3 times a day of your vehicles on the reserve or old half a century out of date. sure, thank you. oh. and when it comes to weapons program, the extra them okay. that they can make as enough as it, on their think given your what the guns often jam

is a reason for that too. so good. but they're not exactly new, 53 with ammunition from eastern europe to be the rest there and very bad shape the was is, i mean, you socially news was never seen ammo been like this or so on. believable, we are initial was it's, i could lead to a situation in a shoot out where none of the rangers would be able to fire more than 2 or 3 shots is i see a good that's daily life and an anti poaching team. it's a dangerous job and it needs doing 7 days a week, 24 hours a day from miserable pay can maybe do a lot off with more than expected being at india doing some extra work. what's the difference between the salary of a red hair and the price of the rhino? hm. ah, the dividend. uh huh. beaver,

in libby, the good news there for that i go on to do that in your salary. rhinoceros homes are sold for astronomical psalms on the black market. chinese medicine claims the horn has therapeutic effects that these have never been clinically proven to discourage poachers that the reserve has implemented of radical method. after a veterinarian has sedated, the rhino the horn is cut off. it's a risky but painless operation. like fingernails, the homes are made up of keratin. i said you, are you good? how are you? why problem? you just let the city owner of the reserve ya comalla has commission sergio's and g

o. this service is free of charge. so you, you have to be with a progress. yes. yeah, yeah. yeah, co doesn't receive any support from the government for protecting his animals. but the value of their horns alone could cover the costs of protecting the species. we meet him at his secret place in a city. this is where he keeps his treasures. in the black market, this one will be worth roughly 450000 years dollars for us it's. it's now actually dangerous to have it. people will come kill me. they will come to my eyes to kill me for these things. i have the time has collected dozens of horns. he hopes that this sale will sunday be legalized. the moment days of the largest supply to the market, the price will drop. if i can get $6000.00 you is dollars per kilogram. it can help

me to save the species from extinction, and there is an additional perch legalization would make him a millionaire. the young nation of namibia with its wealth of resources. it's rich species, diversity and wide open spaces could provide for its population generously. may be of faces, great challenges, a deeply skewed distribution of wealth, the global competition for resources. and of course, the long shadow cast by a bloody colonial past. ah ah ah ah ah ah

ah ah ah, ah, ah, ah ah ah ah fancy a walked across lake garden italy's largest lake climate change has made it possible pedestrians now strolled where there was once water. but this tourist novelty poses

a real threat to the region. the lack of water endangered both nature and the economy focus on europe. in 30 minutes on d. w. stop paying for energy and start making. are these solar tiles the future of energy this high tech roof could power a single family home. the inventor behind this is convinced it will be a hit me made in germany in 90 minutes on d. w. ah . with is increasing every in many im gonna working on landfills. only work very holiday destinations

drowning in plastic white wine abbey at the cause of every year of the exports over 1000000 tons of plastic with there. another way after all the environment isn't to recyclable. make up your own mind. d. w made for mines. ah, this is dw news, and these are our top stories. these really military says it has launch retaliatory airstrikes on the gaza strip. it comes after rockets were fired at northern israel from lubbock. many were intercept.
