r its♪ host: this week, global 3000 heads to zambia, to visit arescue centre caring for traumatized chimpanzees thathave escaped the e clutches of poachers.and also to hungary, where volunteers are being recruitedto patrol borders and stop refugees.but we start in the philippines, where the president is waging abloody and merciless war on drugs.governmental power is usually

divided up among differentbranches -- for exampl, one to pass legislation, one to decideif it's legal, and one to implement it.it's a way of keeping power in check.or that's the theory at least. but in reality, once they're inoffice, heads of state often seize complete control, becausethey control security forces. like president rodrigo duterteof the philippines. he doesn't seem bothered much bylaws and statutes. in his battle against the drugstrade in his country, duterte first sought assistance from thepolice, followed by the army. since last summer, 7,000 peoplehave lost their lives. reporter: ryan was shot twice inthe leg -- and seven of his friends were killed in anight-time attack by masked assailants.the 18-year-old is at a clinic run by baclaran church inmetropolitan manila. it mainly serves poor people whocan't afford to go to a regular clinic.but ryan fled here from a

regular hospital, because e he wasfrightened the e assailants might come after him again.ryayan: e were innocent. why did they shoot us for noreason? reporter: ryan and his friendsare victims of the the country's so-called "war on drugs" -- it'skilled more than 700 people in eight months.and those are police statistics. dealers and users are beingmurdered, but also people who have nothing to do with drugs --and small children. ryan says one of his murderedfriends was involved in drugs, but nonot the others.ryan: sine that night i've been really frightened.d.that's whyi haven't gone to the police.people say sometimes it's the police who shoot people forhaving drugs.

reporter: the country'spresident who launched the bloody campaign.since taking office in june 2016, rodrigo duterte hasoverseen and endorsed mayhem -- police, vivigilantes, hiredassasassins, and oppoportus have been on a killing spree.there is no due process. why certain people are targetedis anybody's guess. human rights activists say thesituation is out of control. bubut not duterte.e.rodrigo dut: i've killed about three of them.i have over 4 million drug addicts in my country.for as long as there are drug pushers in the statetes in mycocountry, for as longng as e arare drug lords, this campaignwill go on until the last, until all of thehem are killeded.repo: but police rarely get the drug lords.mostly it's the foot soldiers who die.this war on drugs is a kind of

political theater -- arelentless, highly visible use of force.it's a way to cement duterte's strongman image, and boost hispopularity. and it distracts from other,greater problems -- widespread corruption and massive poveverty.the most prevalentntg inin the philippines at the moment iscrystal meth. last september, a police officerwas shot and killed durig a drugs-related operation.romeo mandapat junior was gunnnned down in an ambush.he was 23-years-old. it turns out, he had not beenissued a bullet-prproof ve. many front-line officers don'thave one. but that's another story.duterte sent a wreath. romeo's wife aidilee is trainingto become a police officer. she's determined to carry on.aidillee mandapat: we started this together, and i alslso said,w,we'll see it t throuh togegether.

when we married, you proromisd wewould both be wearing police uniforms.but who will i be mamarried to now?reporter: the killings continue, but the corpses often go missingvery fast. the police have adopted a newstrategy as a means of covering their tracksthey pick up the dead from the streets and send them off inambulances, as if they were still alive.the crime e scenes e cleaned upup. there are no awkward questions,no bad publicity. until december, forensic teamswould come and investigate, but no longer.traces are regularly erased now. duterte has given the policecartrte blanche.e. the families of the mumurdered andthe disappeared are turning o human-rights organizations.what happens once duterte's term in office comes to an end in2022? many filipinos are devot

catholics.the leaders of the catholic church i in the philippines havevebeen slow to speak out againstt the officially mandated mpmpaignof murdeder. it wasn't until early februarythat the catholic bishops' conference slammed duterte's waron drugs as a "reign of terror." the government hit back, callingthe church "out of touch" father carlos ronquillo ofbaclaran church not only shelters victims of violencesuch as ryan, he has also criticizized the presisidentsha, saying t the bloodbath must end.carlos rorouillo: poverty is att the heart of it.and it is not being addressed, and will never be addressed bykilling. when you declare war, you arecreating a situatation of fr and you are opening the people tovulnerability. reporter: a priest who speakshis mind is taking a risk in a country where the rule of lawhas in effect been suspended.

reports s say the presidentremas popular, but where fear is widespread, it's hard to knknowwhat people really thin. ryan can only hope vigilanteswon't break into his sanctuary in the church.host: over in central europe, hungary also has anuncompromising leader. the country lies on theso-called balkan route, which starts in the easternmediterranean and has ben taken by hundreds of thousands ofrefugees trying to reach northern europe.but in autumn 2015, hungary began closing off its southernborder, and has since focused on keeping migrants out.now it's training personnel to beef up patrols.lining up for shooting practice-- these are some ofthousands of hungarians recruited by the government tojoin a special border unit.

reporter: starting in april,many of these men and women will be tasked with arrestingrefugees on the hungarian border and ordering them to leave -- byforce if necessary. >>you have to hold the pistollike this -- take aim with your arms straight, stay as still aspossible, hold your breath. reporter: the six-month crashcourse is funded by the government.afterer a short briefing, one participant is allowed to speakon camera. daniel zoltan dunai: i think theborder must be protected -- that's how it used to be.and it will really be necessary in the future.as we venture a question about refugees, our interview is cutshort. questions about political issuesare off limits. but it's not hard to guess whatkind of attitude the new border guards are expected to have.here's hungarian prime minister

victor orban at the swriring inceceremony f for the first grf recruits.viktor orban: there are people who believe migrgrants want tole accordrding to europopean laws and traditions. . that's's wrong.ththanks to our r policee are one of the most secure europeanancountries. there's no terrorism, no trucksdriving into crowds of people celebrating.reporter: hungary is sealing itseself off.e.every day, policd mimilitary stop refugees and send them babackacross the serbian borde, giving them no chance ofapplying for asylum. the commander on duty won'tcomment on this -- but he insists the extra border guardsare urgently needed. zsolt gulyas: more than a-- as a member state, we are

committed to this.we have to develop and defend the borders.reporter: across the border in serbia is a makeshift camp nextto the fence. at night, temperatures aredropping to minus 20 degrees. but farad says he would ratherfreeze this close to the u than risk being deported from anofficial serbian camp. he's been stranded on the balkanroute for almost a year. he's 18-years-old.farad hadizada: the nights here are really tough, but at leastwe are safe. anything is better than inafghanistan -- there i lay awake every night, because someonemight have come to kill e at any moment.reporter: serbian authorities say refugees could move intoofofficial, heated camps. but that's not so easy.a nearby camp, subotica, was built to house 50, but hundredsare living here.

families, minors and the needyare given priority. the roof leaks, there's a lackof funding, and a sense of despair.in the shelter next door we meet husam, who was born here.his syrian parents escaped from aleppo.their older son mazed says his family has been stuck in serbiafor almost a year. >>i haven't been in school forfour years. i miss my teachers and myclassmates. i used to get t pretty goodgrad. there's no telling how long thiswaiting game will last. reporter: about ten thousandrefugees are in serbia; hungary lets in about ten every weekday.but who's chosen and how is a mystery.in many cases bribery is thought to play a role.for these two afghan families, all that counts is that they'vefinally made it across.

this girl is convincedeverything will be alright from here on.what happens next is anyone's guess -- in any case, it's farfrom the public eye. the decision to expel refugeesfrom hungary or allow them to move on appears arbitrary.the prime minister wants to prohibit migrants in hungaryfrom moving freely in the country.he'd like to see them in protective custody.mark kekesi works with migszol, an aid organization.but he's not allowed to speak with refugees in t the transitzonone. the government knows holdingrefugees in general detention is against eu law, but budapestsees its ever-harsher approach as a political necessity.mark kekesi: the hungarian government wants to show thepublic -- look how hungary is doing the eu's dirty work.more than that, the new measures are primarily domestic messages-- i mean it is a sad, populist belief of orban's that the worsethe refugees are doing, the

better off we are.reporter: this notion is gaining momentum.orban's vision of a country without refugees has plenty ofpublic support. >>of course, this is the way wecan be secure for children and grandchildren.no one is arresting you. -- no one is harassing you. >>i think many immigrants willkeep coming, but the border guards will be prepared. >>everyone's pleased about theborder guards, not just me. we have a good relationship withthe police. if i see something suspicious, icall them up and they're there straight away.my phone is right down here. reporter: hungarian society isbecoming more and more militant. after their six month crashcourse, these recruits deploy to the border, yet another hurdlefor refugees hoping for asylum in europe.host: and now in global living

rooms, we head from hungary torural kyrgyzstan in central asia. mavluda ergeschova: i'm mavluda ergeschova. welcome to my home.♪ this uniform jacket belongs tomy husband, arstanali.

he was in the soviet air forcein russia. he served as a paratrooper.this is a picture from my younger sister's wedding.all of these things belong to my eldest son. he works in moscow.we don't have things like the internet here.thanks for coming. have a good trip, and i hope tosee you again someday. host: and now to our globalideas series, where we meet people committed to protectingour planet's wildlife. this week we're ofoff to zambia.our reporter jurgen schneider

visited a centre there thatcares for chimpanzees from neighboring g congo.the animas have often suffered traumatic experiences.but they've found shelter at chimfunshi park. >>where are you going?i'm going to get you. jurgen: whenever she has aminute to spare, thalita calvi comes to play a little withchiffon. the male chimpanzee lives atchimfunshi wildlife orphanage -- a sanctuary for animals innorthern zambia. calvi is a vet. thalita calvi: chiffon was aformer pet. he was with a family for verylong of his life. he does enjoy human interactionwhich is different than a lot of our other chimps.so that's why we can get close

to him.he actually has the need of some kind of interaction of some kindof plays because he doesn't really knows how to act like achimp, a chimp chimp. jurgen: it's important to keepthe chimps healthy. in the station's limited space,sick animals can quickly infect eaeach otherer. >>let me see your mouth.ah, ah. jurgen: chiffon lives in aseparate cage with others that have never learned socialbehavior in a troop, and are therefore unable to integrate.all of the other chims at the station live almost as theywould in the wild -- they can move about freely within afenced-in area the size of abot 200 football fields.chimpanzees are very social. ststill, if you want to draw theirattention, you have to have something to offer.most of the 120 animals at the

station otherwise show littleinterest in humans. thalita calvi: the way that wekeep them as natural as possible we face a few challenges.so we use opportunities like this as an enrichment to bringthem close to us so that we can see them, so that i can checkthem. everything is voluntarily. so i don't push them to come.jurgen: a little bribe doesn't hurt though.chimps can always be tempted by a tasty snack.almost all the animals at chimfunshi have experiencedtraumatic events in their lives. many were ripped from theirfamilies at a tender age. because e chimps defend theiryoung, thatat often entaid ththe slaughter of almost an entireband. the forests of chimfunshi provide almost enough forage tomeet t the aninimals need.

but not quite.so twice a day, staff here also prepare supplementary food forthe chimps. it's served at their very ownchimp restaurant. the animals are already waitingimpatiently for the meal to begin.innocent mulenga heads the station. he's an expert on apes.he's been around some of te chimps since he was a child andknows how to handle them. >>ey, rita, no, no, no!innocent mulenga: we feed them in such a house because we wantto separate the males from the females and the young ones,because the males are dominant and they always want to eateverything. this is why we separate them.jurgen: it's unlikely any f the chimps here will ever join atatroop again out in the bus. in the wild, their range growsmore restricted year by year.

innocent mulenga: most of thechimpanzees at chimfunshi coe from congo which is like 18 kmfrom here. but in congo there is lawlessness there, there arewars there. jurgen: so that thesesechimpanzs are prone to poachers and people that deal inbush meat trade. jurgen: in the last few years,the wildlife refuge has grown steadily.there's now a school for the children of the sanctuary'semployees on the grounds of the station. >>good morning, sir.jurgen: mulenga says the school has made a big difference forthe people here. innocent mulenga: we've got ourworkers herere that work fore chimps.there is no school anywhere near.so in 2007 we're build this school so that their childrencan have a decent education.

jurgen: chimfunshi is not justabout chimpanzees but also about the humans and this is why thisproject is looking to helpig the children to get a goodeducation.n. jurgen: most of the fundingcomes from a german businessman whose brother helped set up theproject 30 years ago. after his death, his familywanted to keep chimfunshi going, and recently bought a nearbyfarm. it's meant to give the projectlonger-term perspectives -- and help it provide some of its ownfunding. on its grounds, fruit and cropsare harvested to help feed the chimps, while cattle are raisedto provide income. the first will soon be sold atmarket. more work for veterinarianthalita calvi, who takes care of all of the animals atchimfunshi. out in the chimp's forestenclosure, feeding time is over.

thingsgs are peaceful on thegrounds of the refuge. but to get here e it's taken a lotof hard work -- and plenty of willing hands.innocent mulenga: the core idea really is for these chimps tohave a good home. this is why we have all this bigenclosures for them, like in here we've got 47 of them inhere and we are there to provide protection for them.jurgen: and the animals are in desperate need of thatprotection. no one knows exactly how manychimps are still in the wil. the best guess is around300,000. at the beginning of the 20thcentury, there were likely millioions.host: on global 300, we bring you more than just ann excitingnew program every week. on our facacebook page, globalsociety, you'll also find live reporting and short digitalformats, as well as fascinating radio rereports from ourur.
