it says stop. so one move bangladesh, a goals facing the country to the guessing pushed back even from their own family. now i will assure the hun bye soon so. so loans seeking this self determined life, douglas escaped from drudgery and abuse. the oldest fixed on d w, the should we wipe out on most cases. i know the sometimes really annoying, but hey,

i tell you. they have some benefits for the environment more on that later. hi and welcome. i'm sandra tree. nobody else. i'm happy to help you with us for a fresh episode of equal africa. hi, sandra. hi, everyone. i am present lives in legal side to area. and together with my lovely co host, i'm happy to bring it to they show. stay tuned because we have some exciting stories for you coming up. why block chain this blaine, the green rolling comes the vision in some get awesome and could be made more play made frankly. and how of fun gas think can you can help to get read off the basic plan less. that's all in some be a today, a country that depends very much on the culture, forest and wide life. these results has been lost at a rapid pace from us facing rates, difficulties in diversified the crops,

and adapted to hoshal weather conditions. now one of the most pressing challenges the facing is also a lot of access to affordable loans to try out different things with venture to the sucka to explore potential solutions as well to be some far as subsidies with the digital world starts helping the suckers some guys, using technology to benefit farmers in nature. this is the team behind putting a phone opposite to naples from us to both save money and chronicling with the at small groups of farmers creates a so called savings of members of a circle agree a fixed amount which they then each deposit every month. members can then either draw or lose from this money pool or earn interest on the savings. many farmers here face considerable challenges. they need money to fund solutions. in zambia,

almost $300000.00, hector is a forest suck need every year for chaco timber, and cultural. my colleague and i x and email that way, i like to say discussing them, but i thought was conveying at that time. so there was some form of a drought and most people couldn't from. and so they just looked at to, you know, cutting down of trees. if they didn't cut down trees to mix alcohol, then what else are they going to do? in fact, okay. how about the keeping? the teams suggested small hold is produced, rule honey, which they would then buy package and we sell in supermarkets, janica nick, assemble on his team, provide free be keeping workshops grants in the farm as an alternative, defalco production. the bees bring us the benefits to for the we, for example, cost for the nation, the fluids, the in the product to of what if you are growing in your, from without the food,

the trees that you of good with that to him, it towards the way that they had, it's amaze to a sunflower. the new you said, benefit you to both of you. philip zulu is a small scale, meas, pharma. she has diversified into be keeping them fish farming, making him fall as venerable to dropped half of his farm. land is no indigenous forest ideal for beast. so far h. b has the expensive for 20 heis zulu, needed the equivalent of $500.00 use an amount which you would now be able to go to the poland saving so many farmers don't have bank accounts. it's easier for really because he doesn't tax and he has to produce enough often document for collection and guy is getting it on from the people that just stays within the community. and they know him. yeah. so, and that's where you and the interest rates as no, that's the, that's the reason getting the along because it's kind of to in the savings circle.

farmers can agree on their own interest rates. these are typically about 5 to 10 percent, which is a far cry from the 15 to 100 percent interest often demanded by informal money lenders. jenny cutnam can someone whose team hope the platform will in pa, farmers to invest in bigger collaborate the project. if they've got from, you know, like piece, no, it's given an opportunity for farmers. once they put their money together, maybe they will might say $10.00. so can, i'm going to enjoy a bowl into an indignation where they just happen to be, if from where they produce different, but i to, for that. and then from, that's become so, so you know, it's a stable income for them which action, but that's been, they me to get face of climate change is philip zoom is eager to trial. the system with the new app calling is in a test fees until the end of 2023 farmers hope it will enable them to diversify and

expand this small holdings of the village of bunting systems, london mobile. i think it would be helpful because people to see them money and security issues people can borrow without the the signing of the contract. the agreements as long as your balance is tiring. the pulling up is built with block chain technology, a digital system that allows people to transfer money without the need for traditional banks, all transactions on the platform i recorded. janica, neca, samuel studies mostly involved in the business. she says a generation is embracing new technologies to solve urgent issues. things um, you may have seen really the grads warranty. good nation, right. when you're growing up, you know, it was, i had to force me on my place and you go there and there's nothing anymore. so this is something that we're passionate about. and it's something that we also page

opportunities from to advocate see to. and social enterprises just like we are doing poly should be available for farmers in 2024. in the meantime, janica non custodial is working with 2000 be keepers. the stotts up has already sold said 2 tons of honey in supermarkets for sweet, sweet and tall farmers. i'm project based on forest at the same time. so let's talk about the health of plants now. well, offerings can, because i use to get rid of diseases and to get better yields. no. such a great idea for the environment because just like that, it can be buckley damaged. well, the other ways on the age of kenya is on these, the vine. you punch of tropical rain, forest, a phone go wait for an is being developed and the seems to be a set of the odd vibratory and a role model for other countries to help in natural ways. these

flowers grow well and can you to well in fact strike go purple, which we might be pretty, but it's devastating to crumbs it viruses and dry soil and poses a serious threat to harvest as a grownup must adult as can boil. explain if that part of the take, when i know it's kind of caused some damage to epsilon, to pass in in the phone. as you can see this move, it is tented by the time you have seen. i've tried to imagine the destruction you've already done because i saved the cds on the ground. the parasitic plant attaches itself to the roots of crops and then extract nutrients from them at their expense. they start to wield while the weed flourishes, or margaret keys knows the problem all too well, which we'd regularly decimate her mace and milledgeville. where you, oh hi,

ongoing measure to some, well we've been struggling with the problem of which we for many years. so we cannot crops, but the yield was a no good school follow. well, we trying to stop it spreading by sweeping him dead brain and the animal waste human and distributing it in the field. but it doesn't make any difference with google mouth and sees. and i've gone to the whole lake open, i will go forward to that from that's. i only harvested one bag of ways that came to me, but that doesn't even leave enough for me to rebut them. does the monday would you, michael now? but to us and kenyon scientists have identified a fungus that kills the parasite. it's highly effective, even in tiny amounts, such as might fit on a tooth pick. this discovery lead to the toothpick of project dorcas kimball. he manages the projects, toothpick company, for a team of scientists produce the fungus that kills, to strike a plot, a lindsey with the research on the bell control. so let's try going using

say i'm looks this far on this. find us as isolated from my wilton's trego it and each was drawn to make them bound control. so initial non is contrary to what we do in this knob is multiply the song us as much as we can. so that is can 25 to a must, that's can solve the fun lives in great capacities for the last 5 years. ken boy has traveled to villages in western kenya to introduce farmers to the product it costs about. so to year rose to treat a one acre field until now farmers have been up routing the destructive plot to prevent its seeds from spreading further. because once they're in the soil, they stay there for years. chemical pesticides haven't proved effective and farmers are left with failed harvest. that's why the toothpick project is supported by a number of n g o's focused on food security. daddy's brittany effect of climate change. the

app is warming, the soils warming, and we have seen dry the also moving even to some width as owns and to also some for the region if that is experienced in the high production, 80 ascending means the food in security also is except it becomes much more kenya isn't the only country with a strike, a problem. according to the u. n, a 14 african nations are infested with the weed. this makes the project all the more important it's successful, it could be introduced in other countries to. so dorcas can, boy, is working with ag farm us to help produce more fund going up to them. they could show a cube that's going to be produced. that's our laboratory is not enough to solve from mazda elk grove. this event, counties, we will find anything. and so that is the reason why we were in gauging village in oakland produced up at the village level can have passed pretty fast. the final

product production itself is relatively straightforward. the funk, this just needs to grow 20 key. those of rice are cooked and a small amount of fungus is added. then left for $3.00 to $5.00 days to incubate. the resulting for 2 kilos of fungus enriched rice are enough for one. a couple of crop land. the researches found at that farm as needed to treat the fields for 2 years. that's full crops, owings that was enough to banish the strike and restore crop yields for small hold is especially it's a relatively easy remedy that the farmers can apply for themselves. was really interesting. so listen up. i've been beaten by these annoying lead to box weight so many times in my life you to full of late. but auction most controls can also be good into box. yes, you have right here is all they are believed to have killed alexander the great.

and they help the us, when independents from the british mosquitoes have shape the human history, they are the world's deadliest animal, the viruses and power sites, they carry still kill hundreds of thousands of people every single year. that's why scientists are developing technology that could completely wipe out certain mosquitoes species. but critics argue there extinction could just be the beginning that other species could follow destabilizing entire eco systems. so just because we could kill off an entire species, should we mosquitoes kill more people every year than all other animals combined. some 700000 annually. it's actually the parasites and viruses hitching a ride from the yellow fever and west nile to the most deadly. larry has been that the, the killer, you know,

across our existence from, from our hominy and ancestral evolution all the way to present data. unfortunately, malaria is responsible for around 80 percent of mosquito related deaths. and almost all of those are children under the age of 5, mostly living in africa. the majority of mosquitoes don't carry this legal power side. most of the more than 3500 different types are in fact harmless. own the anomalies mosquitoes can carry malaria. nowadays, the disease is transmitted predominately in tropical and sub tropical parts of the world for more than a century. now, scientists have been trying to come up with ways of destroying the non police mosquito live besides insect decides they've had varying degrees of success. so over the last 2 decades, scientists have turned to a new method of reducing mosquito number's genetic modification. the ability to trust me. this is a nice inference by and i am

a member of the genetic traits which are available today to link them them like you might be able to develop most people do not trust me. malaria, andrea chris empty and his team are genetically modifying. and also these can be a mosquitoes, the species that transmit spell area in africa. only female mosquitoes are able to abide humans and transmit malaria the needs of proteins in our blood to make gigs. we focus on jewels that are able to impair. i must get over that we were able to manipulate this gene and generate the most, most kito have mailed straight into a lot by edits a gene. they used the crisper, a relatively new technology that is used to modify dna. as a result, even the female aux spring of the modified mosquito were born with mouth parts that could not peer skin rendering them unable to feed from blood. it also made them

stereo. additionally, the scientists use the gene, dr. it increases the odds of the modified gene being passed on to off spring. these 2 methods, genetic manipulation and gene dr. laid to the complete collapse of the test population within a year. so that was in test conditions. if released into the wild, these genetically altered mosquitoes have the potential to drive be and also these can be a species to extinction. and vent would drastically reduce malaria transmission. the scientists believe the modification would not necessarily reach all areas where the species is found. but containment of living animals isn't always so easy. take so rack. as humans began to travel, the high seas wrote in species stowed away on ships. they ended up over whelming island donations. geem. dr. opponents argue that like invasive species,

genetically altered mosquitoes wouldn't migrate. it's really a concern that these organisms will spread uncontrollably and possibly crash populations or possibly lead to extensions of the space is designed to spread aggressively throughout the spaces and also to spread geographically across the board. is the point is how, what's the potential extinction of the anomalies campaign? mosquito impact ecosystems? just like b as in butterflies, many mosquitoes. she's our pollinators transferring pollen from flower to flower. so what would the disappearance of the enough of these mean for plants? and what about the fish birds and baths that feed on whiskey those? then there is the genetic alteration itself. there is the possibility of it being passed on to other species of mosquito putting them at risk when you decide what risk were willing to take in order to do something like save the environment, or in the case of malaria. dr. save human lines. wiping out species that cause

death and destruction may sound positive, but once they are gone, what next? where do we draw the line using a technology that's, you know, instrument slicing extinction as a total if that's a new special, if it's human beings that's not crossed before. so mosquitoes could be at the center of another major shifting human history. we need to play that careful line of like really thinking through the 1st use of these things and what that will look like, how the account and take a reasonable risk. but it, scientists still don't know so much about the potential consequences of unleashing animals with a genetically modified gene drive. it is hard to evaluate those risks. okay, good to know. so to change the topic, did you know that the construction industry is one of the last pull that says yes,

it is true, but it's because so many of all materials needed. yes. and they have been used to build more and more. just look at the exploding population, see it in large area. but there are ways to make the building green as you'll see. and this 6 go in your bit. these bugs contain the building materials of the future. green cement that school is comp and free. it has the potential to make building much more climate friendly for the main problem with traditional cement is the c o. 2 emissions of generates producing one ton of traditional cement release has nearly one ton of c o 2 in the items here and doesn't do see mode of 4600000000 tons of cement.

i used globally every year and the trend is rising. so the construction industry is putting a huge bid on the climate summit production is very energy intensive. that's pump the white release. it so much c o 2. but no manufacturer is around the world of developing new processes, including this one from, from district with small for the reason why our cement has much less carbon than traditional cement is the production process that we use typically now there's no gas involved, no firing a raw materials come from a cycling because we use industrial waste and thanks to our solar trackers, these were able to generate around 50 percent of our own power and the 2nd semester . the result is a cement with an impressively small carbon footprint. green concrete is being produced by a growing number of companies worldwide, while others are working towards it, creating the foundation for

a little climate from the future. and how about you? if you're also doing your bit, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us a tweet. hash tag doing your bit. we share your story. back to africa now with the reverse lifelines in many parts of the continents. there was a use for both domestic and agriculture of purposes make us they didn't consequences for biodiversity and communities living alone gets banks. now, local volunteers are working to limit the damage piles of rubbish, wash, top heavy rains. it's a come on site, densely populated areas along the head of the city. of this sport is just a few meters from some piece of township home to more than half

a 1000000 people. our children play around here and 5. that is so just next to the youth and then that food is contaminated, everyone is getting sick of which is not. could you please invite them for us now if not, say, the representatives from the south african and your french take stock of the devastation. the mission is to restore the hand up survey. i need surrounding wetlands with the help of volunteers. disappeared below the source of this river. this is beautiful fountain was has to be 1st. yes. but if we don't pick up this press, no one's going to pick it up. today, the team from fresh, once the inspect one of the little traps full has been installed on the reverse of the course. the end you has invented its own traps. they are constructed from thick wire cables woven through nets,

unfilled with recycled polystyrene. the construction is on code on either side of the river, mostly catch a starter, some in the floods, and also the settlement trip to him to slow the water down. so settlements out a lot of santia and that sir, and also serves as a home for beneficial organisms. it presents for the erosion to this also helps to be very situated east. so john is after leaving the oven areas behind it, manders, through fields and valleys, onto lead, eventually joins the limpopo river system. it lead to ends up in the indian ocean. this intricate system of once a week supports millions of people in both south africa and 3 neighboring countries . this river is an important source of drinking water is also vital. so agriculture will crops, farmers like you hadn't seen, but a very concerned sometimes that of

a just totally black because of the cities is very bad. crosby. what about the. busy first part in the, in the ones that go into the ground to go into the crops. and i don't think it's healthy for the ground is also not the office of people that smoke or large amounts of raw sewage, just spilling into the head of water samples. are tested for equal live bacteria to assess the co contamination. yeah, the river source equal i concentration has been measured as a 100000 times above the accepted limit. so fresh is now pushing to get the river landscape officially declared a nature conservation area, also protected by diversity. cory domino hundreds through the most urbanized areas on the continent. it would help to revitalize south africa's industrial heartland

on earth date, a group from fresh sets out to demonstrate to they also reduce the potential of a clean river system. the returns the little trap on the mission to remove 60 tons of weeks from these spots. in one d, it is beautiful. the river's leaving things always same is looking much better. i think we can, we can we store the space. it's a wind plant. 80. so if it gets polluted and been in the cleaning or south as well because we do sort that wouldn't be able to sustain life and sustains. so we pay them to go to the store to assist the this time is lying out, it was really great to have you with us today. it is a good buy from complex, right to in uganda. i really hope you enjoyed the shell. and by, for me, an idea of, if you want to know more, check out the social media channel shown on your screen. hopefully we'll see you

next time. by the

way, they saw each forest fires with everything they have. despite the objection of their own family. this email, syiaa slices of the amazon sealants, even paid for the risk they take. they still believe strongly and what they do. it makes them proud global and 13

stopping climate change. that's what they're aiming for. we want to achieve re thinking and society. assume about commitment and hope about visions and the people behind the learning catastrophe. climate change the 75 minutes on dw, the dw. sure. on fix, on the inside every day, the world caution. i want to work for free because we can take the different w calling world, unpack pulse of your info is and all the input the

this is the, the, the news coming to live from berlin, russia, it calls an incident fall in the bridge linking rusher with occupied crimea, an act of terrorism. on verified footage from a russian source shows damage to the bridge after reports of blasts over night and 2 deaths on the structure and new.
