most people learned to classify small handful of animals as edible and all the rest of the classify as disgusting. the w series. so but i don't know where complex relationship with animals need to be. watch now on youtube dw documentary the the air is all whole. it's due to help take care of it, no matter what field we work in. today, we have some, as far as the examples of people showing how it's possible to make a difference of crystal lives in lagos, nigeria, a welcome to eco opry. got your thoughts coming up. eco friendly building and how i could plug in ivory coast uh, getting this fat or mental patient maureen,

is how scientist in south africa alone and from the jelly fish and our roof with a difference. how far island is built with nature in mind? variety has abundant natural what the resources, both steel millions don't have access to a clean drinking supply. to make model as well as a lot of the ground water is being polluted by chemicals from scrap metal. collecting these toxic waste on tenant each into something useful is a hot process. but we met some people, well not afraid to get your hands dirty. this man of disassembling complex and in doing so, they are contributing to environmental protection in burundi because the smallest african country lots proof of waste management or too often all costs or cop parts

and up in the environment. rushed on under range of toxic substance. pulls that switch to echo system on human health. for this bucket business is special for change that is happening in the room d. no, it means once these vehicles are dismantled, any separate the metals such as cost by on, on other medium. but it's important that we don't mix up, combine them with other materials like oil. we carefully saw the metals for the factory and set aside on the rest of the voltages. you. that's pretty good. you got to show up 2 years of neglect. recycling you've gaining traction in burundi. people are realizing that's what he's conceited. ways can actually be a valuable resource. jordan, could you mind? i will run social trip. he knows that raising awareness is key. still

get a little good idea of who get i want to go by my friend. so you need to explain to the village of the dismissal with these very interesting and not handled properly. that has positive that's caused by such waste. we need to collect to, to, to on money and protect the environment. the on the during the lies on leg tons of new guy in east africa, holding 16 percent of the planets, fresh water. it is the 2nd largest lake by volume in the world, but glittering and the lack of recycling facilities affecting the ecological balance and public health around the lake. dress with that's being dumped close to our data to the into reverse is particularly consigning as the to complete the drinking water of mediums prefer remy marie, including the detected toxic heavy metals and drinking water samples a full assaulted to get all the users when it comes to human health, so key we need to monitor heavy metal is particularly lead to acetic,

pearl mercury, and i'm cutting me on medicaid. if i didn't use these heavy metals can cause the via immune deficiencies, infertility or cancer, a little too hello. hello. this is so thank you ladies concerning because it is casino, denny can is found in the lake was the case zillow, d like it came across some lift. tundra nichol selves is a fresh water source for 95 percent of people living in a boom or a and other towns by the lake like ramon good and nuns like so. so for me to use it on the left and then you can add. so this is a threat that we need to take seriously. it's important that we monitor the increased levels of leads and other heavy metals to any length time that need to be set to one my to solve the problem. we'll get into timmy total. that'll do not collect these crap mentally and recycling cod select this one, and she was that the valuable metals are being reused. and more importantly that

then there are substances don't pollute the drinking water for millions of people. but raising awareness is not always as easy as it might seem, in theory. quite a bit of interest with this look request patients, we have to go through villages with crop of metal is cut to then some people are reluctant to talk to that. yeah, a lot. busy give them one of those judges team prepared today's delivery for their customer. the collected metal ends up here in these still plants run by on experience company. best in india, via the recycled metal. get started once more with the help of heavy machinery and eventually melted down and moulded into new products

each day, the plunge, recycled, the 40 tons of metal interest to buzz which comes then be processed. father, the, the most popular product of high quality is to as well as they are commonly used to build reinforced concrete building the roads meet international standards and they are also deployed on construction sites closer to home like this one next to link to the new car and here in the suburb of motion, where there is for the proof that an old guy can have more than one live, some of the plants materials up less goes to these metal craftsman will make kind of crafted, cooking parts installed. what was it being looked for? i didn't know many um uh, who gets krupps and sheets from the plant and we used them to make our products.

that's much better than polluting the lit couldn't get. let's call it a lie. you will not. i thought of him, but i should have already cut off one minute and the customers seemed satisfied. vc money is happy with the news to for how business made entirely of recycled materials. the increasing when is raising and it's probably some little small recycling businesses alongside major industrial facilities is a huge improvement and helps reduce pollution in burundi. promotes and concept visual needs using the densely populated and growing country is crucial. the brooding, getting government in the u. n. environment program wants to set up more recycling facilities while the europe in union these also helping to set up a network of what a quality monitoring stations to keep the world's longest, fresh what to look clean. and it's by, with the varsity team, talk to the waters of this saw the atlantic ocean op team in that

species of jelly, fish, these creatures. i've been around for hundreds of millions of v as yet. there is surprisingly lead to risk into them. now, scientist in south africa, trying to find out more about them and the critical role the play. let's take a deep dive, a jelly fish are among those oldest inhabitants, mass occurrences known as blooms of jelly. fish happen roughly every 10 years. but in some regions, like columbia and then be being caused, they seem to occur more frequently. but it's hard to get dr. jelly fish truth with the current which makes them difficult to accurately record. such invasions are usually the result of environmental conditions which lead to a drop in the number of predators. at the same time, that can be facilitated by an increase in temperature, you can increase the temperature. these things will grow foster. you dropped the

concentrations of oxygen that will effect fish negatively, but it doesn't affect jelly fish. the jelly fish will drive in areas the fish of being forced to events. the invasion has not yet hit south africa. chris lewis is a jelly fish expert who is familiar with this b c's, the waters of cape town. so far, 20 species are known here such as the pretty mouth jelly and the poisonous fox jelly fish. researches are only now beginning to understand the role that these invertebrates play in the marine ecosystem. they're not only so as indicate, the space has to show us when it goes system is out of whack. but they also play very important at all. that's a pace pcs, as well as presented as an ocean and be close to a different company. does the actually lock up a lot of carbon into the ocean. and when those jelly fish died, actually sing to the bottom of the sea floor. and then the following season with wind induced operating, that new things get to being used by the facts of life in order to grow and start that cycle back again. there's a lot more to learn about species diversity to very,

and a ross has spent just over a decade, studying jelly fish together with other scientists. she wants to build a database of the different types found off the south african coast to determine whether there are any changes in the numbers. but it's a huge task. it gets small, but 6 p shoes and we expect that issue. we get to be in a, out of the tissue and all that. so let's use this little solution full with d, n a. what we then do is we sequence the d n a and we look at what species we are seeing based on the d n. a and we are discovering many, many new species. and so this has been very exciting for the more the researches understand about jamie fish types and the numbers, the better they can determine changes in the population. and carly, them with climatic conditions. can you face certainly seem to feel at home here as the coast of south africa is one of the most species reaching the world around 10 percent of oil jelly fish is live here,

and many can be seen at the cape town aquarium. each species has its own peculiarities, with some only living in cold water, others in warm chris lewis is responsible for breeding them. it's a complex and difficult task. each bases has its own but images. so while they're growing up, subspace is one to the in will cove with the specific periods of time if diet shift we have some duty appreciate me. as a genius patient, we actually have to produce enough to push in order to feed them. then also some database and very long left the left was 6 months or 9 months. so it was nice to have this fund by about system where we actually get a use pieces to replace the ones that actually expiring on exhibit. many people are fascinated by these aquatic dinosaurs or few of them, because many j, the fish are poisonous. although only a few species are dangerous to humans. some jelly fish also contain highly rodnick acid and important nutrients like protein. making them popular food in

asia, but they're not on the menu in south africa, yet. instead, scientists here hope to better understand the role of jelly fish within them or re ecosystem and how it's affected by climate change. now we had to pop loan european outposts in the north atlantic ocean in. yeah. so this is the construction mass. so it's how valuable they can be in the fight against live may change. yeah, there's today's doing your bit it's not your average mon runcle hicks that is moving per house has a traditional turf roof. it's a method of insulation that dates back a 1000 years or more. the village of goss o'donnell, or as close to a cliff edge on one of the faro islands position. far out in the north atlantic. stables built centuries ago by sailors and warriors,

combine kings are still in use. we always try to make a small and print a new environment as possible. this has to be a good way to farrell islands line between iceland and norway and one of the most remote corners of 0. they belong to denmark. the 18 islands are home to more shapes than people do to the harsh climate and then layer of soil or a few trees. but there's lots of grass with strips of turf. provide. installation this restaurant isn't tor shown. the pharaoh east capital the grass roof or blend into the landscape. and that's not all. it is not the smoke only beautiful. it's very, very good far for isolation and also a very good far for nice reduction. and we hadn't the, the hail and, and rain and snow storms. you can hear nothing at all on, on the roof or the as green roof can absorb around 2 kilograms of c,

o 2 per square meter. each year, these living tiles convert carbon dioxide into oxygen reducing the climate forming emissions. the local architect, heidi thompson, is delighted that one of her favorite building materials compulsive playing an important role before just once you know the material you know on the road. now it's a tool against climate change because the structure of sect uh has a huge carbon footprint and in ivory coast largest city, i'll be john architects and events law. those are working on a square metal energy efficient homes and public building as the vault to see it's also important to find ways of getting up such solutions fast, the sustainable construction as

a promising and pulsating future in ivory coast. we looked at innovative approaches in oven planning on building design aimed at making city life green on a to construction project, taking shape. and i'll be john division of this month here in alba to on the outskirts of the city architects. you said the about, hey, is re developing this 3 heck to area with apartments built with a small, a competing footprint. a document plenty to incorporate a range of environmental features such as natural cooling instead of air conditioning. so silver has its open here and then open pay or you can feel the airflow so we know it's hot outside, but inside here it's not as hot. and we can feel that there's a difference of $2.00 to $3.00 degrees. built full meters above ground due to the

threat of rising sea levels in flooding. the district real feature shared green spaces, irrigated by rain, was harvested on science. plus a selection of stores will cut background traffic. sustainability is a priority for the architects. this explains the focus on apartments compared to houses that consume a lot of resources for a small number of residents. you want to know if, if we continue in this direction of a nominal and will become more per now is. so i think it's time to start thinking about the city in a different way. so especially now that we know how we could create a well thought out city and visit the site would have had enough space for around 50, detached houses. instead, it will send the home to $36.00 townhouse apartments on a $190.00 regular plans. although they do cost an average of $200000.00 euros. it's a far cry from the 1980s when the government builds

a number of new neighborhoods in avi john with small residential units and stores. but that changed when the construction sector was privatized and the oven planning joins the free market. the key element of sustainable building is of course the materials one company has upgraded the traditional brakes to create a higher robust mixture. read a sound more to on the little cement problem. i'm going to do it before we had a the concrete oh, had to press sorry. oh, by had to do. we got to today is b t. c as a, stabilize compressed as glove which is pressed by hydraulic machines that are the differences in strength to your concrete is not as resistant as b d. c, as if i get out if it was the brick flow biking the sun for 7 days before they can be used for construction on site. they into a lot like self looking panels that then put teeth to reduce the gaps. the only

time motor is used, it's a fast technique that also provides better insulation. a difficulties to so many stocks in the ultra violet rays and send some back into the room. but the clay and last ride the make up vase, he has left the res. so the heat outside, hot guessing, and it stays cooler inside power. there is still one challenge training. most workers have to apply the requisite expertise on the job, but it's quite new. the general supervisor picked up the technique not during his studies, but on building sites on the corporate office and my dad he went up when i discovered this material, i honestly didn't believe it was, but when i came to see for myself to see the methodology, to see the practice, they used to assemble this block, which is truly a jewel. it was really extraordinary thing that a building could be a record right up to the finish without cement. just start off with this whole song,

some stuff my boy and students can learn all about future, or is it building not in? i'll be john, but on the eastern edge of the country in the small city of bundle university that teaches evan planning, and he co construction in a cost sponsored by the wells bank. so many students, it's own shafted to write the best and the most. i'm just discovering it now, so it was originally just the passion, but i didn't really know what was it stay now is my studies progress? i understand why it's important to be able to building a sustainable and they can logical man out. you can use the surface up. yeah, dickie is trying to make them aware of the importance of collaborating with all trades and disciplines in the future projects, law, school, competitive look, minds, youth when we talk about so it's the cannibal development. there's also the economic aspect and so all the economic players can, should,

and must work together. i left the month and then there's the environmental allows back meaning to all the decision makers, they are to need to work together so so, so you come to, you know, so yeah, plus a human and socio logical by us back is too late for the cities of tomorrow, all the disciplines have to try to work, not independently on their own. but i did a complimentary way. you do mine? yeah. a complete marketing in 2022. the wells by and introduced us as to the cation system for sustainable low comp and building. the edge label is avoided to contractors that meet a series of criteria, such as minimizing both sickness and use of building materials while maximizing the availability of natural light and efficient installation. with full features being checked during construction, those who receive approval can apply for green building investment for funding from

planning to certification on completion. a range of product to the initiatives that off to get the pos forward. the sustainable of i'm planning and not the john climate change is speeding up because human activities really isn't goss, is that he tell the atlas? yeah, i would create extreme, a little predictable with it can make farming, very hot as the reason flooding in the show. what was that to meet a woman who is still managing to grow in great sustainable pros, use secrets? know how adaptability as shared hard work. she has created a leaky paradise resting to hector's of greenery. from the sons of the village of 20, via north west of new she has kept told me a may have you name is a do the rules can everyone here call to attempt

to rules for the past 15 years, she has been cultivating this piece of land but you know, unique way the sale is the she i chose to pursue ugly ecology simply to protect the environment because of dismissal. i love all the creatures. be careful. full is it with me? so i know such as animals i knew living beings and people to live in perfect symbiosis symbol, samuel, still an exceptional approach in the shit. there are almost $15000000.00 hectares from land covering just 12 percent of the so head countries surface area, even though 80 percent of the population depends on the guidance or small funds for from the 20 of roles has gotten is an example of the secular economy. she just cuts nothing. she feeds

plants scripts to her chickens, which in turn has helped produce organic for to lies. to compose tips are tending it to sort of nutrients on her land. with sensible results. she have, it's up to $300.00 kilo's of let's use a year the every week how produce is sold at a smaller market in the me, a custom of the off the pleasing fragrance of food and hubs. and the last one is the difference between him means and the means of the market. there is enormous. when you just bring your hand close to your face, you're overwhelmed, but it's high quality. i do not but highlights walk was under threats by the end of august, the 2024 would reach flats of the new chevy. the had reached highland and even dated. had gotten along the river. she was in the process of hiring tube,

looking up and labor as when the catastrophe struck knows that it is a new color when she came to pick me up. she asked me if i knew how to get in there . i just told her, just give it a try and we'll see when we go to the water was rising and almost half the garden was flooded. but as you can see, so there is a snow receded lot a lot. and since then we started walk. so it seems a little i don't lose kennel hasn't given up the 15 year old. we decided to turn the challenge into an opportunity and try something new can just within the month. i love that i used to grow so much was the state of rice . unfortunately, this year with the floods and the water rising from the ground, i had to go right from left. so i'm waiting to see how to turn out all the while

waiting for the rice to ripen. she was to the other major project, the planting for, but also for assessing it such as he discussed drink called be something to use in west africa. it's tina on a small scale, but she's about to realize her dream that this is the factory that's under construction. the just production plant. it's a small unit. it's not to think she invest everything she owns. recently she installed on irrigation system to show that planting and have a sting. food is possible, even when the rains don't come like things used to do to climate change. her solution to that challenge is ecological something. 20 roles has become exemplary. now i'll give edit say, to have written st goes like rose all while you please do get in touch. have a good d, w dot com. yeah, those are fine. moist virus stories by searching for eco africa online. so now it's

good bye for me, chris, that lives in lagos. nigeria, thanks for watching. i'll see you again says the or the

gemini, 1945. hundreds of thousands of women and girls were raped by soldiers at the full allied powers of to decades. the victims and mac children of finally breaking the science and talking about the trauma that has shaped their entire lives. women as boys in 75 minutes, d, w, the

disruption is chaos is the goal. it's a wrecking crew. is radically, they want to bring the system down the screen comes so the donald trump will be the next president of the united states. rather nice in some ways. the vision is the american society division works for him. he wants to increase polarization. have to wait for trumps . rise to power. these were the foot soldiers of mazda, the success of the far right for the rest of the world. us say of the also rise starts january 18th on dw,

the some people don't care about me because they don't see my beauty. some people don't care about me because they think i have nothing to give back to you to do to them. i am everything at home. they have food, then livelihood that day by day. i do so. and so does everything 90. 2000000000 people care about me? me, me. and now the

the, you're watching the w news coming to you live from berlin. here are top stories, a car plows into a crowded christmas market in germany. media report at least one person has been killed and dozens injured. the regional state government says it was likely an attack. the driver of the car has been arrested. stay with us as we bring you the very latest. also add on the sho. siren sound across cuba with at least one person dead as russia and ukraine launch missiles for ice against each other. the kremlin says a ukrainian, a tap on
