7:30 am
it was, every single connection mapped out shows the reality the on the board is what makes things the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube, the we are facing a lot of complex challenges these days. but sometimes the answers can be surprisingly simple. simplicity often has the benefits of being more widely affordable to hello and welcome to the addition of eco africa. i am krista lives in lagos, my dear area. great to have you with us. here's what's coming up. and so that the saving trees inside be providing clean drinking
7:31 am
water and come the room always each of those medicine and he's helping farmers in gone up and supporting slots victims the nigerian c. a flooding is increasing c v. a problem on legals, as well as new by legal states are among places hot. our reports are waiting to find out more about the causes of the problem on what can be done to help during various seasons. this is a common sighting levels. even just motor train falls treats often get flooded quickly or illegal. so what's the is never far away. the c t understood are located on the cost the surrounding lagoon with several reverse flow into in reason to you
7:32 am
as many residents of how to leave the homes, you to flush flooding. lexia in these neighborhoods in equal role do in the north of legal state. say as far as the light same. every yeah. i fedex, we've been experiencing floods. i am serious. yeah. because this is my house as i'm here. so those who did not have to miss. so you know, to fix the house or how to move forward to say that the houses in the flooded areas where bills 2 adults and that's a 3 permits. it is not the government's responsibility. they say to one residents of the dangers of this case would not deal with a leg down. all those to be the views. yeah. houses were idea as an all supposed to do. the houses will do that, but we'll have, by the time you should know the plaster time we do a tommy showing they've built a house is such a place that is part of lot of what flooding is occurring more regularly,
7:33 am
even in those areas to be the legally deals, houses. the reason is of course, liquids is tropical climate. have you don't pause, i'm not uncommon during the rainy season, but in the past few tickets with the parsons here have changed. rainfall has become less frequent but far heavier as a result of climate change temperatures in the most of the ups of more moisture which leads to more intense precipitation. on top of these level c, t has expanded massively over the past century on flood prone marshlands, and flood plains. liquids is costly and what the phones have been dramatically transformed seems colonial times making the problem was this and brought the deposition on developments in, in mega states. us, you know, it's a very small states, less than 2000 square meters, but it has about $20000000.00 people. and you, you know what that means for development. so every se, pays,
7:34 am
people just wants to find a way to deal with the policies. and it does not out that we do not of the that's a call style of building. we still bill today or is on saturday. so we take up all of the spaces and the key to or no space for drainage a so far, not total absorption of what. so when he prints in labels, the water cannot be properly drained from the streets drains that are often poorly built and blocked by rubbish, which is all too often dumped on the streets. nearly 2024. the level states of government introduce a bond on single use plastics like tyrell home packaging to tackled the problem. there has been more improvement, but the problem still persists. that is why these n g always taking things into the on time i think they are actually this is now is to make sure that this doesn't get into. i really just,
7:35 am
it doesn't get to me. so i can now so that in building guessing to our breaks and it goes and gets on our the cheese. so we're suffering from educating people with suffering from. we are reinstating people. i'm says he's typing them that this is a possible resource for you. this is why mean if channels are recycling, send me, it was like a streams in, in labels. so that's what i love the industry needs. raising awareness is as important as wanting people when that he's upset to flooding. that's requires adequate monitoring and warning systems. this is to a walk in progress. we have systems, we are, we monitor all the river, the level of free muscle. we do have a couple of them around the city, though i will quickly, i agree that the i'm not enough liquids, he's projected to be the was the biggest city by the end of the century. and lots of parts of its metropolitan area are a 3 score flooding. more than half of residents, i believe,
7:36 am
to leave within $500.00 because of the cost of deluxe. and how is labels trying to cope with these special geographical setting? echo atlantic is an area on the cities coastline that was reclaimed from the atlantic portion. it was intended to become of it as due by construction is totally free is the area has been enforced on. we've just a few high rise buildings aimed at the wealthy to protect echo atlantic the residents will enroll shipments. tom floods is the great wall of the labels, but experts say it was shifted russian to low income cost total areas. and aside from the russian climate change is an ever present fact for all the cautions tech, for example, mccorkell, situated on the leg was let go and uninformed on the settlement. built partly on stilts. those houses are less affected by temper rises even what the levels, what's tom's flush floods and rising sea levels to putting the residents already
7:37 am
prepared? yes. livelihoods to prevent further disasters like the one in equal row doing the not level steps change. he's needed unplugging guts is only a small 1st step. develop us need to allow for what lands areas in the city. and of course, above all, the international community needs to i didn't see cob global warming to europe. no way i'll say be on couple have re re team. the korea is by launch in a business that produces eco friendly pen. so here is this 6 doing your bits these old newspapers, they get to me a 2nd life of color pencils. it's a simple but effective process savvy and entrepreneurs love it. so markovich spent a long time protecting the product. she even gave up her career to stalls
7:38 am
a company with her husband drive down master family. my neck with our company has several missions of us. mission is to make environmentally friendly products. but beyond the call, 2nd mission is to educate young people. uh, it was wonderful because we don't just want children to buy and use all pencils. we want them to learn about t co frenzy practices through using them or do you think, you know, if you part of the richard. ok? because last year for the machines, the malkovich has used for production with design quite a couple themselves. the pencils of road and eco friendly, slower, based plays to save energy, they don't use ovens. instead, they lead the pencils to add rise to 2 days. planning newspapers into pencils, isn't a new identified in fox africa was the head of the get a company in kenya has been making pencils from newspapers for years.
7:39 am
recycling saves trees. to reduce just one ton of paper, $24.00 trees. a cut down and sub you have the mock of it, just process 4 to 5 tons of nice paper. yes, producing around 3000 pencils a day. and just a few years that rico frontier pencils safety equivalent of a small forest given me and i'm not sure what your packaging tells by us who we are to is not to the, the on the basketball boxes. we explained the ta pencils, a fully recycled book, but it's really no new trees will come down to make them an upper enough show. uh, the manufacturing process is energy efficient. uh. and the pencils are safe to use . uh, the enough show. okay. uh, the livestock farming also takes its tool on seas of land is cleared for grace in all the cultivates and will feed and the production contributes to greenhouse gas emissions
7:40 am
in other ways not cold. so for example, it meet large quantities of climate damage in me say, well there is another climate friendly solution in the rise of creamy canada that hasn't use milk from a cow slow to free steaks and chicken breast grown from cells. changing food is always like multi layered in a sense because it's so deeply ingrained in our culture and what we are some countries and us states of even preemptively band concert a could phase out traditional agriculture. but that's kind of the point. the livestock industry accounts for fairly large share all the worlds greenhouse gas emissions. like going products could put us on the road to redemption, but how they made and when will they actually see it? as supermarket shelves, there's cultured make growing from animal cells. these riley, some la funds say that based stakes are close to being rolled out. yeah,
7:41 am
so correct. yeah. so the product is ready to go into and the quality and level of the sensory properties in the taste, flavor and texture is very high to the very high this place of full mo is as modern and trendy as you'd expect from a bowl and start up full of his focus on creating proteins which mimic way and use that in the traditional cheese making process. the taste test is coming up the 1st let's dive into why this quest to find alternatives exist in the 1st place. just how much the livestock industry contributes to climate woman greenhouse gases depends on who you ask, the you and food and agriculture organizations. most recent reports started $0.12, but other studies suggest because as high as 20 percent, whatever the number of climate scientists can see that may say an emissions particularly concerning. they can be 80 times more harmful in terms of hating the atmosphere, then c o 2. and less stuck, a counselor about 30 percent of the world, maintain emissions, largely through cal books, deforestation,
7:42 am
land and water use and less talk said also in major concerns. it makes more sense to broad use blogs and directly then defeated to as an early study by oxford university in 2011 reported cultivated may could produce up to 96 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions. then lots stuck, thanks to using less land was out in phase, but the numbers here also contested. some studies claim cultivated meat and dairy will need to be run on renewable energy sources. if they are to obtain a lower emissions to come closer to actual dairy full use is what's called precision fermentation. the evolution of the process of dating back thousands of years. they take co g, a type of fundy, which is use a lot in japanese because they feed and so meant it to create
7:43 am
a protein similar to way and then turn it into cheese. the company also plans on using an animal free casing protein that 1st needs a you approve the product like chief where, you know, it is already a process product when you start with milk. and that there is a fermentation process already involved in the regular production of the product there. i think it's easier to say, hey, there's just another fermentation step before that. and to kind of get people to cont, converts in that sense, maybe we should just dig straight in and say, let's do it. we have a great fat, a cheese. so this one i'd say to the texture is a little bit still look away from like what you expect from the federal. yeah. but the taste like the salting us and everything it's, it's really to wrap. it says it will initially be 10 to 20 percent more expensive than mid range chase. so we're still talking luxury prices for most people, but it's not outrageously expensive either. and right,
7:44 am
the claims for most cheese will eventually sell for cheaper than traditional dairy . a fermentation is just more efficient when resources didn't and much more efficient actually the question of the cost and the price pretty much is it will be a factor. gail. all right, that's the cheap. but what about that highly sought off the stake. there are quite a few companies out there working on coaching mates from base to chicken, to fish, to flogger up alice thumbs is just one of the handful that already have approval to sell their lab go and meet in their case in israel, the company said they will roll out within the next year, but admitted it will be a luxury item to begin with. so the in high end restaurants at a price, it's similar to premium range based ignite. they might take 10 years to get to the main stream market. it won't happen overnight, just because it takes time to build production capacity to drive the costs down to build a supply chain and the supply chain. studies showed customers
7:45 am
a still skeptical about how this alternative mate is made. alice thumbs say they are following the same basic principles of segmentation. only they start with animal cells, fee to nurture them in a buyer react until they replicate only the edible part of animals. we do it. animal cells only need products, the products. so it's the same cells sense the same ation time honored cell cultivation text me time when we just merge that to to make a new combination to make a new cells we use are not genetically engineer and heal content to could engineer italy's pollen and move to ban the production sale or in port of cultivated mates and animal fade in 2023. the us states of florida and alabama followed suit with their own bands in 2024. i love that tape and that because that shows it's real. why would you buy and something that you don't believe it's going to be come relevant in the marketplace?
7:46 am
so it's, it's also a great signal. i think that said like then big neat is really concerned with it. and farming will be as really concerned about that. the reasoning from politicians is that traditional agriculture has to be protected for speaking with that the traditional, very inform me industry to, to grow proteins in a, in a, in a fermentation that gives you produce these products unique nutrients. nutrients are coming from our field. so you will always have, you know, traditional farming as you know it, the market for these animal free alternatives is still very small. but if they can convince consumers, taste buds and bank balances more, people may jump on board, which can only be good news for the world's climate. i'd like to try, but sometimes they should, the approaches a just less effective as high tech ones on the roof and easier of creek teams. that mates in northern gone now and will breed as
7:47 am
a drawing on indigenous knowledge to keel. the a sick animals with scientific brackets tend to be a good bundle is do you warming has heard today. the live stock farmer uses indigenous medicines and herbal remedies, all based on knowledge passed down to him by his grandparents. here in the past, i knew go and gone as upper east region. animals are vulnerable to diseases like gold plague, livestock dysentery, and parasitical infections that cause stomach bloating. what do you have that you will, the may have williams and wisdom that are making them sick at a new policy. so i have to get mahogany tree bog mixed up with other native hubs. you can give them several doses of a 3 days on this mixture, kills the ones with a new phone. and some of the of this knowledge of the medicinal properties of plants and herbs is invaluable both for the regions,
7:48 am
farmers and their herds. and for researchers, that's because to be a good time beer, this part of a major interdisciplinary project to implement f, no veterinary medicine and gone a at the center for plant medicine research in the town of men pump laquata. i'm not far from the capital i cry. scientists are investigating the healing properties of native plants. the government originally established the facility to provide alternative health care to local people. now it's carrying out research into animal health. but the laboratory here has been studying the chemical and pharmaceutical properties of plans for some time. now off the course was to look awful. what does the chemist cheap of be splunk? what is the, what's the activities of this plot and release them with the disease is stuck dease
7:49 am
and solve this for, you know, beaches clue to be cheating width in gun a 10 percent of live stocks to come to disease in a country with few trained veterinarians, farmers often rely on the advice of tabel harder and other locals who recommend medicine sold and open markets like this one. young regulated misuse and over use of antibiotics can lead to high levels of antibiotic residues in animal products. and that can encourage antibiotic resistance, which affects the health of those live stock, and people who consume animal products. meanwhile, 75 percent of live stock and gonna are resistant to the antibiotics used to treat them. at the same time, many live stock owners don't trust durable medicines which aren't scientifically tested and don't with a company lease sledge. and packaging was we provide this information
7:50 am
where this project is it that would provide this evidence of disappointment. it says which a gauge the disease that's we are what you were studying. really what, what japan dots these met says final vicious good has it for test and mentioned the project simply because i'm being no longer has to rely on the plants and the forest . the project gave him exclusive use of an herb garden. so remember that he's one of a selected group of herbalists who are receiving support from the s no veterinary medicine project. on this protected patch of land. he's planting a variety of native plants, including mahogany and oak trees and thought what dol? uh, but yeah, look to you, these plans patients are hard to find out like when you know what to do and there aren't any more of them nearby that. that's why the project is helping us to both planned and protect them so that when we need them that they'll be easily available to me this year to native plants, carnes,
7:51 am
or an eco friendly source of medicines for traditional practitioners like to me or give them the if this project catches on, gone, could become a 4 runner in f, no veterinary medicine. a fresh drinking water remains a luxury for many people. worldwide. more than to be and people still don't have access to weeds. simply devise could help make a big difference. to build up a rules as well playing around and poor people's dilemma zone elementary school get to quenched as with the supply of clean water. something that can be taken for granted in by then a village of the west of coming to the end of 2023. the school has had its fairly own what's up to if occasion device due to the field to is really effective is the children have been drinking the water for a whole year. and i haven't seen as many cases of diarrhea. and when we collect to what you can see right to we outlay t's even the really gets you whatever comes out
7:52 am
to solve remotely. the filter was made by kind of room based across the african center for renewable energy and sustainable technology. it was adapted from the canadian model. the idea is ingeniously simple. at the bottom of the container as a nail or 5 gravel would send, scratch out on top. after being pulled in, the water is gradually purified, as it seems truly organic filters. but the vices manufacturer also work ships, the banging, the young people being trained here, then a variety of skills including how to build the filters, including ceramic versions. most of those are sold to private individual due to the lightweight, the
7:53 am
so will be due to due to for me to use ways down. as you would use. you can see to yourself we've developed 2 types of filters, you'll get extend one and to see if i make fuel to the 2nd one is more recommended for families from while deal, garrick one is advisable for schools and other public buildings. and in general, for traditional guidelines and here the sounds good hasanti, they should be in touch soon in the n g o we supported by european organizations. and they need to offer a wide range of training programs. it's also able to distribute water filters free of charge around $100.00 today. normally, the filters don't come cheap. should a lot of, you know, see if you're getting filled, that is likely more expensive to the 20 to meet the model. cost the balance of 75
7:54 am
bureaus and the 40 to the equivalence of 150 euro's the ceramic field. so that's less than $25.00 who was making it more affordable for farmers, executive crews on board. the for the visa, there was a source is available in the regions mounting. what is the longest as was johnny not least for transporting water. so village is tend to be like local. well, some parts of the country now have about a 100 plus click. let me see if there's one that's gonna get there was an out at the top. although the mays want to supply is as funny. gimme a news only to the to just make it easy to kind of we didn't talk to young one day to get with a 4 children decision on the neighborhood. when we go these without the means, what to it usually takes us to us to go to the well to fix some water, which is very demanding, is a type in need of water from wells is often not fit to drink with
7:55 am
a poor quality in many cases, due to the borrowing technique, conservation is local. drilling without museum, purpose tend to to lead to chemical pollution. people don't realize that comes in the southeast and that's where the filters can help out to gain utilizing impurities in the war to a prime example of its benefits. being to school children out of the village of bang gang. that's all for today would love to hear what you think about the show. so feel free to contact us at eco, at the w dot com for moist virus stories. you can also search for eco africa online . thanks for watching. for now it's good bye for me, chris. i lives in lagos, nigeria, c, you x, die by or the
7:57 am
one thing i loved most about legal scratch last few weeks. you know, the heartbeat of nigeria is economy and one of the fastest growing cities in the world. megan city, legal. the big question is, wherever you're going to for all these people will show you how this when city is preparing for the future. the 77 percent i d w, the
7:58 am
big piece needing a new clue. it means happy. when i was 8 years old, i was already dreaming of a future as a senior or something i wanted to become the funeral of my family. his dream was within reach. she'd become a star in turkey overnight. then a man took everything from with the help of his family and music. she rebuilt her life. and then his sister also became a family scholar by hatred and mother. and the daughters. i am willing to work for change and also so i will sing my song, pay well by mistake. this injustice will not go unpunished. maybe my voice will be heard next spring to i'm seeking justice for the victims of sam assigned

the old, we can be the generation, the ends that feel good. malaria must die. so millions can live the this is dw news, live from berlin. a german cargo plane crashes. and lithuania is capital. at least one person is dead and several others injured in the crash cost of illness airport . the aircraft flying on behalf of the logistics for an d h. l. also coming up. these real carries, i was more airstrikes and they were the southern suburbs. after urging the residents to leave a tax follow, a barrage of has full of rockets into northern and central israel. and officials announced
