Welcome to global three thousand this week we head to brazil to meet a homeless family man just one of the many victims of the National Financial crisis. In china we visit a weight loss camp dedicated to helping children and young people shed some pounds. And in bangladesh a young german entrepreneur is bringing light to remote areas. For years the brics countries brazil russia india china and south africa was seen as key players in the next phase of globalization their economies were booming and their populations were becoming more affluent she fighting many out of poverty but in two thousand and seventeen things look very different indias and chinas economies continue to grow the others have fallen behind brazil in particular is in deep crisis. Many brazilians around to work by mid two thousand and seventeen the number of unemployed reached fourteen million thats more than ever before. Central rio just after four a. M. These people are called sound tale to us all those without a roof that have never been so many. Juice on to a low vera d. S. Is one of at least twenty thousand Homeless People here for thirty years he worked as an unskilled laborer but he lost his job last december without work he lost his home and didnt receive a penny from the state josiahs greatest fear is that the authorities will now take his four year old daughter away from him thats why the child and her mother helen stay with a friend as often as they can but theres no room for. The family has been torn apart. My parents bring their daughter to Nursery School in the morning in their old neighborhood. How am i supposed to rent a flat its far too expensive what i earn on the street isnt enough for housing or even food. Its really very sad that we cant be together as a family. With him on the street and me and my daughter living apart from him. At the Nursery School they act as if everything is normal they dont want anyone has to find out theyve become homeless. At seven am shows some begins his day he walks fifteen or twenty kilometers looking for any work. The state doesnt even provide him the bus ticket let alone a meal. Thats left to charitable citizens who sometimes come by with breakfast like here in the flamingo course not far from the atlantic coast. Take it from water juice a sandwich and coffee. All these people do a Great Service its wonderful i like coming here and this coffee is important to me. Around three hundred Homeless People have come here today. For most of their troubles began just last year. One. Thousand appears everything was fine up until the olympics there were enough jobs but after the games it all fell apart we were completely caught up in the crisis and its getting worse. Not only has been cut the security situation in brazil is also deteriorating especially in. Violence has returned during the world cup in the olympics the favelas were pacified with a Huge Police Presence now its worse than before. So far this year about twice as Many Police Officers have been killed than last year alone. Theres no more security because social justice has crumbled around the severe poverty its almost pointless to fight against it for example when a father with two or three children goes hungry for five months thats sick and its wrong theres no Decent Health care system and on top of that theres high unemployment some people earn millions while others have nothing. By early afternoon joe so is tired of waiting for someone to offer him a job. He says it wont happen anyway. So the former labor heads to the shops looking door to door. He says hell do anything clean wash dishes deliver messages work in a stockroom. Such its so hard theres no work anywhere i knock on door after door but so far its been useless. But what i have just won something will appear. To. Be. The hardest work has begun collecting cans in the deep sounds of copacabana beach. A kilogram of aluminum comes is worth about sixty euros cents the winter is a tough season. The government has cut another half a million families off welfare. Most of them will probably fall into the abyss just like as you saw. He meet his family again to him the brief moment spent with his daughter at the most important part of the day. But you see how could i give up the little one needs us just like we need her but she needs us even more. This is the kind of life we lead but thank god we can keep going. I mean. The little girl knows that her father has to go away again just like everything. The short time together was enjoyable and parting is painful. Now he turns his attention to the night ahead juice only covers his bedding hidden beneath a manhole cover. Hes learned a lot of tricks in his First Six Months on the streets of rio. He cooks with a few friends food bought for a few pennies do so never indulges himself he gives all he has to his wife and daughter. Then suddenly noisy celebrations at the church across the street. Its a magical moment he can only stare up in amazement as if the fireworks have been intended for him. After all he deserves it. Around two point two billion people around the world are obese thats nearly a third of the global population and its not just adults in two thousand and fifteen an estimated one hundred seven million children who are overweight the main cause is diet fast food with too much fat and sugar. The laydown when it comes to obesity is the u. S. Say but others are catching up including china that as a result of increased affluence people a piling on the pounds. Toiling on the treadmill new tongue is just eleven but already weighs eighty kilos. His parents have sent him to this weight loss camp for the summer. For almost two months hell spend every day working up a sweat hoping to lose thirty kilos. Retired to i have to lose weight for school because if i want to good grade point average i need better marks in sports class but i think. This kind of reasoning makes sense in a country where competition is at the core of the educational system its a motivator for most of the boys here. Some girls say theyre also here to improve their looks others have no personal incentive at all. In my home. Its my parents who worried im getting too fat. And thats why they sent me here. Most of the campus of ponce here because their parents stepped in but ironically camp organizers say its the parents and grandparents who are largely responsible for the problem. Here come from well off families the parents are often very busy so usually the grandparents look after the children because they survive five minutes important to them that the children are never hungry. On the contrary they are spoilt they should grow big and strong and not leads to many children getting fat that theyre not the mature the her either. Yes. Obesity has been on the rise in china for years almost one in three adults is overweight. Beijing university and unicef have just published new figures on Childhood Obesity they found that twelve percent of children between the ages of seven and twelve overweight. They say that if nothing is done now by twenty thirty that figure will more than double. The weight loss camp is trying to do something about these developments mainly through exercise but also by changing eating habits less meat and lots of vegetables. Eleven year old john you tongue generally doesnt mind but he says the food at home is better theres a lot more meat in fact theres hardly any meal without meat to how you may not have room to bridge a. Twenty three year old young is very self critical. I didnt eat healthfully at home. Much too regularly actually whenever i was hungry here there were just three meals a day and thats good. The battle against the killers is also often an internal struggle. Of course sometimes children try to model extra food not because theyre hungry but because their bad habits are so strong thats why we have surveillance cameras everywhere and there are always instructors on site. Changing bad habits thats also the goal of the exercise program four to six hours a day and only sunday afternoons are free. Leon has been following this tense shadow for three weeks now. The trainer asks how many she can do the young answers about twenty. Shes among those who are here on their own initiative she has just completed her studies and wants to look for a job but first she needs to lose thirty kilos she says in order to improve her chances shes already lost seventeen. I think im too fat i cant buy any nice clothes and. I also have health issues. The Health Problems are indeed on the rise in china experts have been warning for years that obesity sedentary lifestyles and poor eating habits will all contribute to higher rates of heart attacks and strokes however it seems that not everyone has understood that obesity endangers much more than just great advantages at school. You can see for yourself immediately who is motivated and who isnt of course there are differences this boy for instance is very motivated the one behind im not so much. If you have to go get your tiger this kind of effort isnt likely to see long term success even if his parents shelled out the equivalent of three and a half thousand euros for the twelve week program. Even if the kids and teens understand the dangers of obesity when camp is over that back at home eating with their families and so far virtually no one in china is teaching parents about healthy habits. And now in global snack we head to the island of principle to check out a local delicacy. Principle a is an island off the west coast of africa close to the equator its the smaller of the two main islands of the nation of south torme and principal and its home to about eight thousand people the main languages portuguese its monday morning and at barrow preparations are underway for lunch. Judith alphonso known as donna to take his cooking the speciality of the day. Fished you. Five kilos of fresh fish have to be scaled gutted and cut into pieces. Is the main vegetable in the stew its also known as african eggplant. The other ingredients onions tomatoes and coriander. And marcella leaves for. Those that believe that the tree down a tad taste says they add a lot of flavor and thats said to be good for the digestion donna to take open beram are twenty years ago she started out cooking at home. The recipe also calls for red palm oil on principle almost everything is cooked with it. How do they taste sour novi and the fish later so it doesnt get too soft we cook the fish separately and add it to the still wants its almost done. The stews eaten with rice beram our has become a very popular lunch place. Morning this change turned yellow thats the problem or oil each portion has two pieces of fish. Its lunch time and the restaurant is filling up a portion of fish stew plus dessert cost the equivalent of three euros fifty. Dollars and the lower the monkey was very tasty. Its a traditional dish and she makes it every monday. During exhausting weekend we come every monday on the stoop gives us renewed energy. Its famous right now from absolutely donna to tasty was the best oh. Thats why the mocha always sells out but donna today also has a few snacks for the children to eat as they head home from school. The morning. Sailors. Aboard. Bangladeshs a densely populated country and yet around seventeen Million People that are still not connected to the National Grid so many attending to solar power instead now a german startup wants to enable those who cant afford solar panels to eliminate their homes to a reporter malyon here to travel to a village where everyone will soon benefit from solar power thanks to the new technology. Has a different outlook and. These cables are in great demand the National Electricity grid in bangladesh doesnt extend to the island of bali. On the bay of bengal. Many vendors at the market here have solar panels. A Company Called sole sharing wants to network these individual units to create a local grid that will supply the entire market of the village of mother bazaar. We need to find out where not. When our own systems are installed and then only possible to make. The neighboring songs neighboring songs so yes we need. Many of things and physicality of the technological set up then of course they can be ok for the Business Owners here a local many grade would have a lot of advantages theyd be able to connect their solar units to the grid and sell any excess electricity or buy a lecture city from a neighbor the company has developed an electricity meter that enables peer to peer electricity trading in a smart grid system. Called a soul box it also helps local businessmen expand their operation. For example the local barber. I dont mind but i dont know now i can stay open when it gets dark. But i need an electric head trauma so i can serve even more customers and feel good and if you want a custom apple box. Soon one hundred fifty businesses will be connected to the peer to peer grid but the potential market is even bigger than that. Bangladesh has the most private Solar Systems of anywhere in the world more than four million of them. Are. The sole box is manufactured in bangladesh the startup isnt turning a profit yet but its one of our major supporters including the Asian Development bank and germanys g. R. I. Z. Development agency the boss a bastard is german and a former investment banker. Were going to make it what it hasnt always been here we started out in stanford california and then moved to berlin but that wasnt the right fit so this is where we had a breakthrough where when you make something and then see it being used right away at the very same location and see what people are doing with it and but it works its twice as nice because you can see what you accomplished. A Growth Company is now based in dhaka hes learned how businesses operate in bangladesh and learned enough bengali to get by day to day. M r m watches. The problem is that people or companies that feed energy into bangladesh as National Grid arent paid for that surplus power with National Elections due late next year thats not likely to change the government is also promoting the use of nuclear power. Not much is. Happening on the traffic front either. You know how many everythings close together here the distance isnt that great so bangladesh is just right for that trim ability. So share is also planning another pilot project. This one will offer solar charging stations for the battery rickshaw drivers in the country. There are about eight hundred thousand of them. The plan is to have local microgrid sell their excess energy to the charging stations. Unified. Going to teach us the state and local is to help develop in rural areas Energy Trading is already helping with that and its helped boost efficiency local people are Trading Energy and allocation is improving but we also need to bring money from outside into the villages where the rickshaw drivers come into the villages they bring entirely new opportunities for development with them up you know just understands it off and then becomes and im going to. Bangladesh is one of the worlds poorest countries. More than one thousand rivers make developing infrastructure difficult. Where back and wrong about the island which is only accessible by ferry. On the miami heat next to roads utility poles are lying on the ground unused. Its a common sight seventeen million households are too isolated to be connected to the National Grid. In the village of mahler bazaar the shops are open late into the evening. Thanks in part to the new local energy grid. And dont forget to check out our facebook page.
