the dw global media on 2023 in germany and online the increasingly fragmented world with a growing number of forces digital. the amplified where disclosure can lead. we really need to overcome and divisions into vision for tomorrow's journalism. register now and join us for this discussion at the 16th edition of d. w's global media forum. the still award are teaching us as a beef, as a sigh of bins, as that for the m, as in main forest, is disappearing as an alarming rates is, was in the loan to blame for all of us. and what can we do just

to death to us in the philippines. marriage is still for rent. the no interviews, no questions. a company in the usa gives well to those who to otherwise struggle to get the what if i told you, is a country responsible for this was one's great at fighting deforestation. in recent years, one man has become synonymous with destruction of the brazilian, amazon former president charitable sonata. his lax policies allowed scots of rain for us to be raised to the ground during the last 240 years. amazon was a place to go to, but it wasn't always dispatch, in fact,

because it was once good at protecting it's for it's the country previously reduced deforestation in the amazon by 80 percent over the course of 8 years. this downward trend started in the early 2, thousands under president leaves the now to let us do the most just on is lula. and now both of mattel is out and louis back. the brazil has changed dramatically in the last decades. so will the country be able to combat deforestation again? here's the thing. what brazilian politicians decide to do with fair part of the amazon concerns us all, even as opposed to now to says the amazon is ours, not yours. of course, the most affected are the millions of people living there and the hundreds of thousands of plant and animal species. but the amazon also plays a vital role and absorbing enormous amounts of seo to that keeps the gas from heating the address here and making seems like be more and more common around the

world is uh, the 1st 4 clean may change, but should they father's cheating amazon, we are destroying our buffer, that she's a silly, raging degree makes change. they stream events. this is lucille. my gotcha, a senior researcher with brazil's natural institute for space research. she found out the amazon has been destroyed to such an extent that it's not admitting more carbon than it takes. and that's partly because the fires used to clear the forest relief tons of it. please window is stopping immediately. this process, we will lose at this fire trophy on muscle 4 and it should become the shipping point. okay, that sounds the pressing. i promise we're getting to the solutions. but 1st, we need to understand what has allowed us to the 4th, 17 percent of the presented and amazon. here's a clue. it's a money maker, and this goes all the way back to the 19 seventy's. at that point,

the reinforce was largely untouched. but the military regime that was in power per student agendas, nationalism and economic development, it decided exploiting its biggest forest was the way to boost preserves economy in the military. in brazil, the port seeing the region as a reason to be cold courage level is the president of the institute. we got a bad, a filtering specialist and climate and security issues and involvement was paying for people to go to the amazon and amazingly, say, whatever you can do as far as will be yours. the reason that this to convince people to settle in a forest is considered to be uninhabited. of course, there were indigenous communities there. it built a mass of highway to make it easier to navigate across the amazon and incentivized brazilians to move their to lock for timber and raise cattle. over the coming decades these businesses proved to be very lucrative, especially because more,

more people were eating meat around the world and farmers needed lots of protein rich story to feed their livestock. so the rain forest had to continue making space for cattle pastures and switching off, and as last became stricter, learned clearing also happened to legally. but then in 2003, it came a turning point lula took office as president at a time when deforestation was sore. and she appointed administer marina silva, who really put the reinforced on the agenda with a men success from 2004 to 2012 deforestation. and the amazon went down by 80 percent. there are 3 major components that make this happen. first, a mass of expansion of protected areas. the administration added millions of hector is to be preserved by 2010 more than 40 percent of the amazon was officially under protection. these areas include conservation units and indigenous territories. designating new indigenous territories was especially important because they've been shown to preserve the forest, very successful officials,

community hadn't been managing just to introduce some percentage. this was the homeless, should coordinate the and geo institute to socially on being file, which focuses on environmental and indigenous rights. so the way the sales people in other traditional commissions deals with the floors as well. maybe the forest more sense for us in general, all the new protections worked as a huge deterrent. because once you have a protective area, that's why we'll make money with that last. ringback will as but that doesn't mean people could the forest all they wanted in unprotected areas. here land owners could only farm on 20 percent of their territories. and to ensure this, the government ramped up its monitoring. it improve that satellite system to detect the deforestation in real time, and to give better training to environmental authorities and law enforcement to crack down on illegal activities. the final step was to tackle the supply chains. this only became a talking point to,

to pressure from civil society cream cheese had published studies linking deforestation in the amazon to so in the spot by major food companies, the public outcry paid off. it resulted in the swim or a tory and the beef moratorium. voluntary agreements between big food producers to stop buying these goods from new lead forested areas. this way, more to him was especially successful. it's estimated to have saved 18000 square kilometers for us over a decade. you might wonder how does this affect the economy and the amazon? well, it's still kept growing. agricultural production actually went up as deforestation decrease. that's because farmers were not using their land efficiently before and pastors often remained empty. soon they were forced to plant crops and some of these under use pastures and stock more cattle on them. if this all sounds too good to be true, it's because it was around 2013 deforestation rates started climbing again. during

a time of political turmoil, to get rid of allies of the every business had pushed to weaken the laws. protecting forest and big infrastructure projects were creeping into the amazon to select the hydro electric them approved by none other than lulu said it was necessary for preserves energy supplies. but it was in 2019 that things really started looking back for the rain forest. charitable, so not a took office and his far right platform included lots of anti environment rhetoric . so the, those environmental people, if i can, i will, can find them the amazon one day since they liked the environment. so much. remember the paradigm from the 1970s that the 4th thing was key to boosting the economy. it came back, also not will publicly pushed for more mining and indigenous territories. and his administration region, the environmental enforcement agencies shrinking their budgets and pushing up stuff . this created a climate of impunity that's really open to space for the cultural evasion of the criminal activities that were already there. but then that were coupled with much

more organized criminal networks, much more resources for while the really difficult armies. the illegal destruction of the amazon increasingly became part of sophisticated networks, trafficking drugs, guns, and laundering money. as a result, deforestation rates sort over the next 4 years. it's really search europe to serve until money change. well king expense to, to ge equipment. the sonata was not re elected to be done with a razor thin margin in 2022. and one of the 1st things you did was go to the you and kind of talks and announce google it up to you. brazil is back. she immediately sends more law enforcement into the field to stop loggers on land grabbers. in january 2023 deforestation was already down 61 percent on the same month the year before. but that doesn't mean that it will be an easy task presented has changed a lot so. so the 1st took office 20 years ago used to be shooting guns. no doubt.

this is a dwanda, viola from the university of some fall. she's referring to a set of new challenges like rebuilding all the institutions both and that is the administration dismantled. the description of the people that are taking office is that they found what is on thinkable off in terms of the lack of information of, of, you know, the, the history of what happened the, the level of public servants that ask to, to leave the good news is that louis former environment administer has agreed to come back, but now her ministry will face a reinforce, eroded beyond recognition, filled with sprawling criminal networks and illegal landing strips for their planes . another hurdle will be to cancel the powerful agribusiness lobby for the presidency. she doesn't necessarily have congress on the side peaceful issues, both in fame. what if i read an activities in the amazon are much more strong or lead to getting the low cost of living and the state the labor is done. the way of

doing the pre of seen in the past, but they're capable of getting laws weekend and the industry will continue having this political influence as long as it prophets of the rocket, high demand for brazilian agriculture. their words are teaching us as a beef, as a sigh of being, as a people pleaser stopped by the help us. these challenges are real and they're a significant. but louis administration also faces a set of opportunities, the opportunity to improve land productivity and far more efficiently to blue screen economies that use the regents resources without depleting them or cutting down trees. that includes commercializing were products native to the forest, an eco tourism to bring the others along. this step is crucial because we may not be able to put a price tag on saving or rain for us, but we will pay the price if we don't.

um, what was the problem with c o? 2 again. the dinosaurs were really ghastly creatures, which might explain why there was up to 16 times more c o 2 in the atmosphere when they room to the planet. so back then with much room are on average, and that was just one big consonant coupon g a. but then it broke out these quotes, many volcanoes, dispute moles, c o 2 into the atmosphere that probably be triggered a mass extinction. colleen around 80 percent of all living organisms, missing huge amounts of c o. 2 rooms upon it 1st and then it can adapt. and today we're doing what the volcano's data buck then, maybe we should learn from a post. the food in of getting gauged, getting married. and then if we ever all stuff that bubble busted good while ago.

divorce rates has been on the rise worldwide since 1970, so it varies a lot from region to region. in almost all countries, those divorce is allowed to pull my stones. that is a mom's wedding on a grand scale. in march 2023, 2023 couples exchanged marriage files. on one day the city of buffalo done the philippine island of nicholas made it easy for couples to tie the knot. capitals like mikey and john, facing the mid twenties to whom the wedding was free of charge. like many here, they couldn't have afforded the stone, many of the wise join and mighty said, this was the most important day of the lights. the moon lavish the ceremony the best to the elaborate mess. wedding is a huge celebration to mock

a decision that's for life because the now at least who is nursing option in the philippines when marriage is housing very high regard. finally, we're officially a couple i'm happy that i can now take his name. getting married is easy, getting divorced, impossible. april teddy also would like nothing more than to get divorced. but the news prohibits since. the 41 year old has to provide for her daughter one henry husband left to years ago. since then, juliana has hardly seen her father and her memory of him is fading. a few photos in the family. alba. not all that remains since he went to seek walk abroad. as so

many do hit the lights, i broke off for contracts. no divorce means no requirement to pay child support. afraid that i won't be able to give her everything she needs the guy. when she asked me for something, i say, be patient, we can't afford it at the moment. we don't have any money right now. she understands that. then she says, mommy, that's okay. fortunately, my daughter is very kind, so we don't have any problems with each other. so what go to is joins together let no one separate this phrase from the bible is enshrined and lower in early 2 countries worldwide. the vatican and the philippines father jerome. so savannah says the goals is not the only way to solve relationship

problems. he sees the philippines as a beacon in the darkness, most of the country that's trailing others and its development. the circumstances are you for in front of these countries compared to ours. so we don't need to be like them. so i guess we should even be proud of here. we are sticking to it now that that, that we are protecting marriage as i mentioned. so in other words, the only way out excepted by the church and the state isn't enrollment where the marriage is treated as having never existed. but it's a lengthy process for any of the well. so you can afford that happy many attempts that reform in the past, but all have food and filed if this then opinions complicated political system better and it will make it so lockman often champions the cause of the disadvantage and has put forward a bill that permits divorce, in certain cases, she's confident it will eventually become a little why not married?

yes, i suppose to be so nice. it had been maybe probably to have because of human frailty. and because a beast maybe i've uh, into finding a uh, i could be more but the create a abused women and they've been, we've been we would have to be, i liked like to do this comp, what's in distress, april patios, and what she can from babysitting struggles to make ends meet. it's been 8 years now since her husband left. he doesn't support so that goes to. but the little still states she must remain married to him. thankfully when things get really bad, she does at least have relatives who help out of

the town for those who finally want to get away from their ex partners but can because they're still married on paper funding. wherever you go to his name goes with you on to get more funding. but when i found out there's a chance that i might be able to divorce in the future, i felt hope again that got an hold up on that one day. i will be able to file the papers and then we will be separated for good. so think you will end up with i am. so john and mikey guessing married means they can start a new independent life together. the philippines is quite a conservative country, where the values of the catholic church is still cherished by many if i don't like divorce, you need to take the time and be fully sure about your partner before you get married for you. if you're not sure,

then don't get married. it's as simple as that. for a 2nd. okay, laugh i think dibels test. okay. even if you've known someone for a long time, you don't always know what they're thinking and what's going on inside them. and you come predict what the future holds. sure, say one day, no longer be so happy together. it's possible they won't have to stay together any longer. and they want to the, the cost of china, the us has the most prison inmates worldwide, as well as hundreds of thousands of homeless people that they deserve accounts showing us once and it shows that everything runs like so click on the quantity is up to scratch each brownie must be perfect, not too thin or too light,

like many employees here. she has no high school diploma and no formal training. yet she is a supervisor. know that people who just sit and have a work history. and they don't want to hire you because you don't have the experience where people don't understand this is you've got to get the experience in order to have it, you know. and if you don't get people the chance they're still going to be stuck in the background, struggling, shown, and news, what it means to struggle. pregnant at 16, she left school early. she applied for countless jobs but only got rejections and lived in caea. the authorities would take away her 4 children, but then came the cool from the bakery that changed everything. that was, it was like, i'll never forget because um, at that point i've been told no so many times. so i was at a point where i was desperate, i don't know the fact that things could have reached that stage is still painful.

even today. i'm so sorry. i just feel like i owe of my life because of barbara had the break. well, to be a part, i don't know how i could have made it, you know, or because they made what bad was a good life. i just needed a chance. and grace gave it to me. young kids on new york's hudson middle tier raises 40 years ago as in buddhist, came up with an useful business. ideas do good. well, any money gives people jobs without asking for a cd references or a drug test. joseph kinda used to work on wall street today. he's the ceo of christ and on a big fund, if it's open hiring policy. oh, job seekers have to do is put the name on the waiting list. positions are, would it on a 1st come, 1st serve basis? our tagline is, we don't hire people, the bank brownies, we bank brownies to hire people. and the whole focus is on the person. how can we

bring folks into the workforce? how can we bring folks into the economic mainstream? and that's how many of our partners, whether it's the body shop or now ikea, are learning that this is an opportunity for them to not just, you know, do something good for others, but really do something good for the organization. of just spending full use in jail. the own drew sold, he had no future until he started a new life a grace 10 years ago. he's gone from being a young drug dealer to being shown to swanson's balls. i'm telling people about his career calls of international conferences. this my 1st job i have what i think i would rather work in this type of i'm in and around my pc, because i want to see all the people grow my garden. started from the production line, and i worked my way up to senior supervisor. our group. andre technology got new excess. we was about 8 years old. we grew up in the same price to see him with

a similar background going back and forth to joe. now he's a work and makes it, he's a mix a. we'd never thought we'd be. so this i'd rather be doing this is a group for $21.00 tons of brownies of 8 tea each day. most of them are delivered to ben and jerry's, where they wind up in chocolate fudge brownie ice cream. one of the american brands most popular savings. many workers here have done time in prison. then at understand that's a long sentence, the robbery. but now he's one of grayson's most loyal employees. it's his dream job . and his children love it too. now when they ex about me, they can tell them no. yeah, well what it means to me. he's doing things that they didn't get the opportunity to do any sticking with it. these people have been here for years,

a lot of them. and it shows that they, they have devoted, you know, they really just needed the chance. it's lunch time to the shift deal and is always in the thick of things. he does the scheduling and then what's causing people who's having problems at home and who needs support graced and works together with social work. and it's to get some help. one, everybody be happy smile, or they can get the task done. come ahead and be really dedicated to the job. if the admin fee and them arouses down, people just come here and just to get the hours and the make they money shown is work day is done. now she has time for her children and are a union with a former colleague, amelia, although i come to, i'm so as a chief to dream is opening her room based, a business is being bought, like many restaurants, she's having trouble finding enough stuff. i'm struggling with right,
