10:15 pm
security, and at the same time, to be compared to the world has changed dramatically in the last 10 years. and many europeans are beginning to feel that a global order, which is 7 well for a long time, is beginning to turn against the states and b e u to get i could do centric, right? because assume that what we use to we last, that's what a history tells us between the european history of a 20th century is if you make really big mistakes, things can collapse, complete slate. the you dream to collapse and our economies could collapse. and then the future becomes varied and very unpredictable. in 1999, the year the berlin wall fell check. delores said the following. europe will never be built if young people do not see it as a collective undertaking that will shape their future. nearly 4 decades later, the confidence leaders faced the same problem. europe same,
10:16 pm
depends on their ability to find the solution, the that's all for this episode of business beyond. if you'd like to see more from us, check out our playlist in the description. thanks a lot for watching, until the next time. take care the or the guy a model gwinnett captivate and ancient one young a legend says that in the middle of the amazon is the largest in cape puck tree that has ever existed before. yeah,
10:17 pm
yeah. yeah. so that's good, that's a family of joint egos built the nest on top of the mascot. people in one day to one younger worriers decided to capture young. you go to prove their courage. and that's to get the huge letter. but only one of the time, a lot of courage to climb up already. and that the other day when he reached the top out of jealousy, his friend took the matter away, contending and with a certain definitely we must get yet them. when a young eagles, parents returned, they found to worry or good. the father looked at him for a long time and said, you have come to steal our daughter for one. 0 no, she shall be your wife, and you shall become an eagle. williams is accused of what america mulroy, several days the birds talked to worry or had to hunt and share their knowledge of the forest. wait a little by little,
10:18 pm
the warrior transformed into an eagle motor enough to put the ticket now access to secret knowledge of the forest animals and to use the healing powers of plants already now to build houses or bows from trees and how to move around and hunt in the forest of one group. yeah, yeah. it became part of the forest. yeah, i mean, what if what i woke up could you do decided with the teacher it seems, learns to the one yanna and other things to him. this animal wisdom was passed on to humans. a motive. today's spirit still lives at the top of the cape, up tree, and watches over a world we have the what is on the the amazon basin is home to the world's mind, east river and largest contiguous tropical rain forest. it stretches over around 7000000 square kilometers, close to the size and australia. it's one of the most bio diverse places on earth.
10:19 pm
we've thousands of animal implants, species and it's eco system. the rain forest is a kind of super organism. decatur tree holds a prominent position in this network, providing sunlight and shelter for an entire community of plants and animals for the indigenous way on people in french deanna, the cape pump tree embodies the soul of the forest. and more, it's a living canvas that tells of the origins of the world and the spiritual guide accompanying people on their journey through life. the way out of the cape of tree is shrouded in legend for the way yanna that represents the spiritual connection between people in the forest industry deserves the respect
10:20 pm
to go to what i need then import. your dentist on the cape up tree is a majestic, mighty tree. the largest tree in the forest towers over to kinda be like no other level for me, this is the most beautiful tree in the world. smile it's on the, from its roots is very soft and easy to work with, but it's been on that place what i'm no, it's beauty inspires the way, yada, and they use it in their traditional art. was that admitted to tell them who wireless mess? yeah, this one is perfect. the distributive. so put top of them you into the people
10:21 pm
that i mean, i mean if you want to remove a piece of a tree, you have to connect with that spirits and ask it's permission to focus on the head of respect for the tree or the forest around is that was so like, was the cutting the phone with me today i'm taking a piece of wood from the tree to make a roof disc of another one. i have done bob telling me, do i want the money? i want to protect the village and its people from evil spirits. my grandfather taught me how to do this. i'm gonna put him on his artwork and the knowledge from
10:22 pm
our ancestors. given me inspiration, really getting good. yeah, and one. so mark and so we were to see the amount of these materials to pick the boat, the history of the people and the magical forest animals must get it as symbolized, the connection between humans and us. walter and sky together day protect the community by preventing evil spirits and diseases from entering the village. we don't look like the only thing my grandfather would often say, little mix we live in the forest, but the forest doesn't need us to live. what i wait for the way yana in french kiana. the k puck is sacred, in part because tape of tree gives the impression of being able to reach up to the heavens. a veritable giant among giants.
10:23 pm
this tree stands some 50 meters tall. the k box can live up to 500 years and belong to the middle of a plant family. during infancy, they grow at a dizzying pace of 4 meters per year in a frantic race towards the light, the once bait in the sun's rays. patrice slowly but surely unfurls the branches of its monumental crown, which has a span of 25 meters. this has no selfish giant. it place host to a range of climbing and aerial boot, plants nestling and its branches to capture the light. the, the cape tree is a suspended garden and refuge for
10:24 pm
a multitude of species that could not exist without it. the, the, its trunk up to 4 meters thick acts as a natural elevator. a ladder to the light. in this vertical corridor, a new dynamic of mutual dependencies and change of interaction a merge a myriad of creatures, hunting each other, imitating each other, communicating with each other, and reproducing some species are there only 4 stop over the others have been permanent residents for decades. and every species, every animal has its own entourage of creatures that attract transports or even supports. this is the case with
10:25 pm
from many ads which make a home on the tree and become themselves a foundation for another fascinating microcosm. saline, the one from the french national center for scientific research studies, the mysterious interactions between plants, insect, and micro organisms the life source and invisible link weaving them together. water, the very fully i'm as one in the amazon rain forest is criss crossed by countless streams that flow into rivers. there is a lot of running water here, but there are hardly any standing bodies of water like lake so ponds. now for they do exist, but they have taken on a different form for that. first. all you see is
10:26 pm
a pump, but deep inside the leaves is well teeming with life oxy sir? yeah, they have the plastic tree plastic. this is an epa citric account from the for immediate family se, unlike other terrestrial pounds, you know how it's true or not i'm sold for. that's what it's up to cling to. the trunk branches of the support the tree need will just from the account feeds itself through its leaves. a simple you don't have the bronx, the watson way. you can see that they form a kind of follow the walk and phone know, control, dump off or see the keep up for when it rains isn't to walk well, to drop. it's gathering the central part along with organic matter that falls from the kind of p, again, most whose key this talk lives exclusively on what it collects and it's
10:27 pm
a rest of walks and we squeeze long the lloyd any new or pre owned by securities. i wanted to put on the table, maybe i see the media just the only kind of pounds on the well capable of absorbing water in minerals through its leaves. to step up the key fluid you can you suspend service? original strategy has enabled the whole bio diversity of organisms to develop organisms that would not exist without the phone cut off. it's not a problem. the excuse me, what interests us about these accounts is the diversity of organisms inside the lead for us that's we want to understand the complex interactions at the heart of these cons. prints the results of the water and make ups of patients. and that's
10:28 pm
why we discover many welds and themselves on for the, for, well, i think there is the there as close, but also many aquatic organisms we might find funky, but tyria, or alkie, again, also an array of micro organisms that could be described as zoo clank. tone or find to plank tone comparable to what we find in the ocean. if it was always, then there are mosquito loankey and lobby, a flying insects, so drag and flies and damsel flies and beats the lobby to various organisms. play a key role for the plant. yeah, well there are lobby that decompose the dead leaves, releasing nutrients that are then available to the plant. i'm just waiting for the problem to diminish pigs on get some magnificent example of independence and
10:29 pm
interactions between different species. because the plant provides a habitat for aquatic organisms, which in return provide food for the pont 20 some medical vesman with you all these natural fresh water microsystems plan putting rolls not to hang on, hold from them on the side of sco new off the suit. mosquito lobby hatch this and feed on nectar as adults so passively pollinating the plants as they feed the, especially one. okay, rack and flies and ton prey on other insects to regulate the populations in the forest sooner than expected to see for the visually produce a beautiful song play and extremely important role in preserving the rain forest. during the dry season, bro meily adds our floating life giving water reservoirs. but for the rest of the
10:30 pm
year, the phone and flora usually have to contend with excess water. in some places, up to 2000 of leaders of rain can fall per square meter every year. to counteract the massive amount of water softening the soil, the cape pump has had to adapt the huge buttress. root anchored to the ground and keep it from toppling over the above ground. they grow up to 8 meters high and 12 meters wide. that wide base helps to distribute it's enormous weight of several 100 tons across the larger area, the in addition to stabilizing the tree. this elaborate route architecture is the result of its application to the amazons, a city,
10:31 pm
and nutrient portfolio. the, instead of going deep, the cape pod tree goes wide, making use of the top soil rich in organic matters. in the nodules at a through the cape, bob has developed symbiotic relationship with the meanest your organisms. bacteria which convert nitrogen from the air into absorbable nutrients. even when the roots of the cape archery are flooded, they retain their nutrients supplied. their cells, expand to facilitate gas exchange, and form larger feeding channels. the broader influence is life throughout the forest.
10:32 pm
for certain species, the rainy season offers an opportunity for mixing and mingling the in this corner of the world. fish sometimes take on the role of gardner. the sandra korea, associate professor of aquatic ecology at mississippi state university, is an expert on the surprising and important interaction between the world of water and the world of trees. what effects to last about almost time frame for us is that while the complexity of interactions are happening, the amount of his pieces are already in terms of pin. and the one that i have been studying for 20 years now is the interaction with fish and
10:33 pm
the of the in the amazon's room for is the assessing needs to be seen the pollution of fluids with the rain system. when these rings, then all the fluids, the 1st rising. and that is really interesting because done means it attracts a low to finding months that depending on the big 4 force but many of those flu, that's totally fine. when they find the water that are consumed by fish, and when they use them, they carry them away. and the process is called c dispersal.
10:34 pm
the fish have very little diet, so they can be eating fluids, but also flowers or to the proteins. what do you think they have done is to see the proportions of those the, for them for high this, this is a fish from the, from me this the 1st time you see the, placing the coffee know squared on, you know, but instead of eating flesh, she did the highest specialized food eating fish is going to be really interesting to flush this summer and see what the fish are meeting the
10:35 pm
you can, that is all the. so these clips are pretty fresh. you seem like you were needing this morning to to do that. he's a very important source of no transfer fish, because they have sugars, the collision center due for the fish is consuming mostly. and then the seed is going to pass intact like when we the tomato we don't must because then the same fussing. talk through the just subtract, we're going to invest things and then the fish difficult it far away. the . the freshwater fish diversity is the greatest in the world in the most sonya. so
10:36 pm
that about $12250.00 pieces of fish in the most sonya and the fluids. um well we have fun so far. we've seen some cases up to half of the species of threes that are producing fluids seen in these um rain seasons. are these 1st by fish, which is a new press is diverse the, the, the, the rain season in a lesson is very strong. and those very drastic rainfall causes flooding. so that means that the mean china loved the river, becomes connected with a smaller screens inside the forties and all the students to florida is he's completely flooded. i'm becomes one with the re, the so slow the fish
10:37 pm
move inside the 1st forty's, and then they can throw up the seats anywhere the, as soon as it was level falls on the soil and twice. then the jeremy nation of cues, instance on. so you will see carpets of c that is 3rd jeremy nadine really fast because they have a very short period of time to become a stablish the for the why there is 3rd rice. anything for the trees is ready, as i'm things rules that are fish actually the fluids because it allows them to
10:38 pm
basically cold on ice new areas next. and the range of distribution, the so as much as the fish depend on the furnace for food and high, we've done the for, as, depends on the fish the fish actually month painting. think big about the, the biodiversity on the 4th, or the long term. nice perhaps one of the, all this plan on the money interaction seeing the plan and the subsidy older than the interaction of fluids with bar are fluids, weight loss like monkey, some $5.00 star much knew where the fish in and it was 90 time. that means that the fish have been helping shaping the composition off unless on the on rain, 4th, floor or media and some new subjects. in
10:39 pm
the amazon rain forest, where competition is intense trees, pcs have developed in genius strategies over generations to produce the most fragrant appetizing and colorful fruit, the aim to attract messengers capable of transporting their seats further afield. the cape hawk is a prime example producing several 100 fruits every year. the oval capsule, this can be up to 30 centimeters long and attract the whole host of bats and birds . the visitors, they need to seats and spread them wherever they sell. but this tree has also developed another completely different strategy. when the cancels right,
10:40 pm
they open up revealing their treasure seats wrapped in suki fibers. deep talk this light as a feather, flashy coating, and equals to seats to fly long distances through the air. in this way, the wind to becomes an ally and when the seats finally find fertile soil, the german newt sign grows the 1st root to penetrate the soil. while the 1st leaves on from above ground. with a bit of luck, the young shoots will mature into a coupon, starting its own race towards the sky. but as the tree grows, there are still dangers ahead. sun trees bases develop special characteristics in
10:41 pm
order to send off a group of wars and other attackers, resulting in unexpected alliances. the crew pianos, for example, live in symbiosis. we learned ecologist, june of event, has dedicated his life to researching the fascinating relationship between a cons entries the scale. now that's fine. now when a tree dies and falls over, it leaves the clearing of the forest. this will not be in a sent me the system just to know that actually putting a low as the sun's light and heat to reach the ground. tiny and stimulate the growth of seeds lying dormant. not quite sauce. this space e sit among them is a secret key of to so if i'm in special species whose fate is closely linked to
10:42 pm
that of an and discuss on. so it's not even going, assuming each one, the data, plenty is done. the, even in the early gross fee. so the st. croix po for me and as tech and queen can start her colony on the plant sign. if that's what i thought a queen is attracted to the scene cro piano ballad most likely by it sent in for kayla. when she finds the plans that she drilled a hole in it and on it leaves her eggs and starts her calling. the secretary is at the holes and serves as an entrance and exit for workers who patrol the plant, searching for food. she have a colony that expands over the entire stem cell and also on the village. the
10:43 pm
only one that is a mutually beneficial association. she says, this is a crook, produces food exclusively to feed the hands of the want. any more. that's fine. it consists of glycogen fitzsimmons and looked at. so that's between doing it for the hands as an almost complete food supply in the morning for me. seeing that even with this real quick as you get 180 correct, they collect the small cap, shows sun, carry them in sight, eat them, and feed them to the larvae so that the call when he grows 9 is that this is a queen. these x 2 x, her life producing susan's or even tens of thousands of workers and i could have called many never leaves. it's plant seen associates royce. yeah. it's an incredible association that prom because the plant depends on the amps to survive on the hands and turn. depends on the plans that i've seen deep on, on the land provide shelter and food in, in return. they protect the plan from attacks by other insects that once he leaves,
10:44 pm
daughters are sick texas with play and most of the me down. and also, you know, the formats are constantly blooming the leaves of the plant ac. and if an intruder is discovered the attack it to escape it away or even capture and into this, we have captured, i pull it up so the recipient see just to keep you is there territory, say never give it talking and defended all costs the shooting into this was hit by a branch and broke in. unfortunately, it will not survive up uh,
10:45 pm
neither will the call ending on the naples to get to the, the, the scope of all that sony in here we can see the various chambers on the floor is that constitutes colony or not. i can and there's a root chamber section for the workers and a section for food to store locals on these are the yeah, able to send email to, to actually take tool that up and off the architecture of the plan creates a perfect habitat for the hands of the in here we see the queen which has a different color and is much larger than the workers. it prints in the theme, leaves the eggs and is the mother of whole the ants and the call waiting for me. exactly the and then the, so you recently discovered another interactions between this black spot. this is actually a fungus that extracts nutrients from dense and other colony waste of
10:46 pm
a turn some to the plan. they found it's not a problem. does it keep you ladies? they didn't want to get up to you on this edition. that's if they have katie from the hands not only protect with a plan, but also provided with better nutrition down it through this recycling something you as this interaction is far more complex than we have thought for many years. a vocal thinking takes this, going to be measuring tape on, on these, in a phone, jack, and also in directly contribute to the regeneration of the forest. basically a single po as the croupier creates a freight environment which other species can develop and grow until they reach the canopy and become reinforce trees. in doing the job is to show that the association between at some plant is vital for the amazon forest to assist you all tony. for me, any problem it came on. yes. what i feel i am as in the,
10:47 pm
in the vastness of the amazon, every living creature has a very specific task in the complex ecological interplay of species. as well to see crew forms alliances with ants. in order to survive, the cape pump tree pursues its own defense strategy. the young k pump tree boasts a coat of protective armor, sharp thorns, cupboards, trunk, and sometimes even its branches th,
10:48 pm
the thorns deter or before, as from nibbling on its soft wood or siphoning off its precious sap. the, and mammals are not the only thread here. the thorns also provide protection against birch that could damage bunch or be caring strangler fixed eats strangler. fix wrapped themselves around their hoss tree, gradually suffocating it, until all that remains as a wooden skeleton. the thanks to his defenses, the young cape latrete usually escapes this fate. once it has been shored and reached the top of the forest canopy, it sheds the now redundant armour, the
10:49 pm
k punk like every organism in the forest is part of a wider network that breeds feeds reproduces and interact. mm, biologist, leticia. but a shame is a specialist in rain forest, greenhouse gases. she's researching how they interact with other ecosystems and also affect human life through the air that we breathe. desi shows, dispatch is unique things happen here. say for a force or a global important inside their, our green loan to the
10:50 pm
actual i took it down to show rain forests are extremely rich and dense and you go system sudden drive on very poor. so improve the comforts and destroys, doesn't seem particularly fixable. but it is still full of life and you don't want to see leaks or constantly falling to the ground where they then decompose it. don't like the rate of decomposition is extremely high. and because the temperature and humidity conditions are ideal for phone guy and micro organisms to permit them call during these motion to postpone it as a transform leaves into nutrients that are a central for tree growth. because so we have a really efficient system that enables trees to recover nutrients as soon as they are available and not only from their own leads, but also from the leaves of their neighbors. and then there's
10:51 pm
a very strong interaction between all the trees species and the soil and the sort of you know, another consequence of decomposition is the release of carbon dioxide. and you clogging just because micro organisms are like us, when they breed, they a mid c o 2, which the trees in turn need for photo synthesis. saba, no. is that what and is this c o 2 that enables trees to grow just to get them? it was out of the country so cylinder in clearfield to can be both absorbed and released. and i was contact i went to find out what role the forest plays and the exchange of c o 2 between trees and the atmosphere. unplug it is our elect muskrat. as it says, say, well, this is important in order to determine the carbon balance on the pallet and how much c o 2 is absorbed by the trees, and how much it's released into the atmosphere by the soil and the trees. surgery, new things. let's see, father's son, resolve a of that of
10:52 pm
a system. and this is this balance that interests us because it's likely to be altered by human activity. oh and is that anything extra in the currently the balance is in favor of the forest. and so they are, they're like carbon sinks, music out, storing more than they admit and spoke actually they currently store 100000000000 tons of carbon. and so, but we can't say yet how force will react to climate change in global scale of a hacked. what is certain is that we're seeing more extreme weather events and swipe it's longer and more severe periods of drought, which can have a direct impact on trees. you have just shown those our a plus ending stream cases for as i've turned into savannah's in some places. and there are also very went very well know the value of the cause you need. even plastic guy can switch. so it goes to see how does such heavy rainfall affect the
10:53 pm
forest ecosystem, and it's infinity distort carpenter. and i, for i asked ok the gentleman so the coupon tree to place its part in the grade carbon cycle. in the amazon rain forest the single tree stores several tons of carbon acting as a guardian of the climate. the but even julians had their twilight and majestic though it is. the cape hawk will also meet its end. its size also makes it vulnerable. towering about of the canopy, it is particularly exposed to the elements becoming a prime target for lightning and strong winds, which are becoming more frequent due to climate change. extreme weather events and
10:54 pm
changes in rainfall. patterns are threatening the stability, health, reproductive capacity, and integrity of cape trees, the but they are not alone initially used to these changes. torrential rains, don't follow periods of severe drought. we can all the trees, the, the 2 sliding wildfire, and other increasingly common threat. the entire ecosystem is in danger. the the biggest threat, however, is deforestation which is devouring and decimating the forest since the 1970s. around 20 percent of the amazon has been either turned into furniture or
10:55 pm
transformed into grasslands and fields. a further 30 percent is classified as endangered, the development that claudette level and t is trying to counter the . she represents the poly core people at kareka, an umbrella organization of indigenous groups in the amazon basin. that is committed to saving the forest the, the walk with these are the farms to something sacred. to me, this is a part of me in a way to protect it means protecting my house. the for i say this is the assessment is on the far as the suffering and we need to act quickly
10:56 pm
repeated proceed. yeah, no, those goals, mining, deforestation, and then grabbing us, oh, that's cool. it says no respect for the forest. yeah. but i think it's nature's under threat every way that not you. they may not see. it's clear that the house is on fire, stick left to the design point. not fulls in bars has new boots as it stretches across venezuela, peru, brazil, 3. now i'm french kiana and believe you don't go to them. we have learned to join forces with other indigenous peoples because we're all in the same fight cylinder called coordinate on. and then look for new going back to that we can use quick as fast as major victory was to secure pledges from governments and civil society to protect
10:57 pm
a 2 percent of the amazon rain forest by 2025. that i full them as we can of only mean it was also about showing the well, the indigenous peoples of the best guardians of the forest who took good phone, the needle got down left for the sand. so it's up to us to show that these commitments are kept or putting the again, the, this is a fine to everyone who lives here, not just indigenous people. and especially for the future of children who gather it for me that you have to place your hand on the, on the tree to be able to listen to understand what's happening. it was a phone of the one of those so that we can see that when we allow the environment to tell us
10:58 pm
10:59 pm
is in crisis. the us aircraft manufacturer is highly indebted, and moral and image are to in the all time low. is this an opportunity for it to your opinion? rival airbus made in germany is the same. it is on the w, the big press to protest far right? politics fund coming from grayson wants to drown out, seen a full before since the band relies on the unifying power of use. is there resistance working focus on used in 19 minutes. the untold story
11:00 pm
for details. going to be funded here repos here. every weekend on d w the, this is data blue news. these are our top stores. here's the urine, us president donald trump decided he's country will take over the gaza strip and that gauze and should be resettled elsewhere. it made the comments as a whitehouse press conference alongside who's writing 5 minutes to anybody that's at yahoo. said the proposal went to change history. president trump said the us would handle the reconstruction of the territory and didn't rule out sending in troops, sovereign territory. argentina has an honors that it will withdraw.
