A flourishing business but one that is taking its toll on the environment. In turkey freedom of speech seems a thing of the past how can fountains of sidelined academics that rebuild their lives. Then on to hong kong where living space is a luxury we head to the city where many live in desperately cramped conditions. Been eyes ation is an unstoppable trend worldwide more and more people are deserted in rural areas for life in cities looking for Jobs Educational opportunities and inspiration all want a decent place to live and thats the problem good locations are in high demand and prices a steep. Germanys most expensive city is new nec apartments in the center fetch over nine thousand two hundred euros a square meter and in other countries prices are even higher in new york for example apartments can cost a whopping eleven thousand square meter the three most expensive cities are london at over fifteen thousand euros a square meter singapore which is even pricier and hong kong tops the list flats that can cost an astronomical twenty one thousand seven hundred euros per square meter which leads to harsh Living Conditions for the poor. Their home is a key. Age seven men live in a single room in bitter poverty. They often dont have enough money for three meals a day. Mr young shows us where hes been living for years he gets about five hundred euros in welfare every month nearly half of which he spends on his cage bed and electricity. All you are expendable like trash weve been cast out society has given up on us. Their only ray of hope is light shone she visits them regularly and asks how theyre doing what they need and brings them extra money for food she works for an Aid Organization that looks after People Living in miserable conditions in hong kong and being israeli say and theyre also used to a shameful because the whole call we have huge resources and people they are so rich in hong kong and that the governments have huge you know losses so i think that that once you have the best recesses to help these people but we just allow this to happen. Living space in hong kong is more expensive than almost anywhere else in the world theres very little room for the more than seven million residents but there are plenty of buyers for luxury apartments a profitable business for Real Estate Companies. Buying an apartment is barely affordable even for the middle class its long been the norm for them to spend half their income on rent or a mortgage for many hong kong as a housing nightmare. Because of her efforts to help people called the angel of the poor today shes visiting the home of thirteen year old chuck me owners here have subdivided many of the apartments into many lodgings known as shoe boxes with just a Part Time Job and welfare all this mother and child can afford or about. Two and a half square meters with a bunk bed and a small table the mother cries a lot and wishes she could provide Something Better for her son. So you they mount. Our apartment really should be big enough so that my son and i can move around freely. Little its only you here its so small that we can only enter the room one at a time. Check meaning wont tell his classmates how he lives hes too ashamed most people here work but they dont earn enough for an apartment of their own so several people are forced to share a grubby kitchen and a single bathroom their only hope is a state subsidized apartment but the waiting list is several years long. Lie shown gives advice helps people deal with bureaucracy and puts pressure on officials where she can. Meet these kind of. Easy to keep what they really feel rain and street where you know this is happening because. He aint doing anything and somebody is playing hard and some people think you know my street and besides now too many people and ideas are. About thirty percent of hong kongs residents live in subsidized housing but theres not nearly enough to go around. The hunt for an affordable living space even drives people to live in corrugated iron huts on the roofs of factories with little in the way of safety features. Its illegal and its dangerous but where else are people supposed to go. The children are especially vulnerable ly shannon herself grew up in poverty and knows how they feel many dont even have enough space at home to do their homework the Aid Organization has other volunteers who help them too and here they are taught not to be ashamed of being poor. There so it may just go because they feel that your theory that you know this and wasnt how such it theyd be at the beginning to end up feeling that bad but of course the other people did that there was ample we have with us some children their cost may nor are they living in this kind of eating small space and the. Lifespan is calling for more subsidized housing from the local government she says too much land goes to the powerful Real Estate Companies shes already helped thousands of residents to move from their shoe box dwellings to subsidized housing sometimes it took years such as with ms ty the apartments here are bigger the rents cheaper for residents it means a complete lifestyle change fewer worries and more money left over its a never ending job but a rewarding one i feel happy because when i have people there used to be close situation i feel very sorry for them and so i wore high and they finally put their situation days theyd be very happy. I dont know because i think helping people is that kind of happiness. Those living in caged beds generally paid even more rent for their space than people who live in subsidized flats if it werent for life shuns help mr leone and the other men here might not even have warm clothing for the cooler winter nights. Mood sometimes when the people of hong kong. Im home from work mr young goes to the soccer pitch he used to work in a slaughter house and lived in employee housing now hes seventy and in poor health has given up hope of ever getting a subsidized apartment as there are almost three hundred thousand other people in on kong who are also on the waiting list. Now from hong kong to turkey two years ago more than a thousand of the countrys academics signed a petition criticizing president. To ones policies and appealing for an end to his bloody campaign against the kurds a small act with a major repercussion was many of them were later fired by president ial decree the accusation spreading terrorist propaganda after the attempted military coup around one hundred fifty thousand Civil Servants in turkey lost their jobs often for unexplained reasons theyve hit the streets in protest at being blackballed made captives in their country. By our taras been working behind the counter for only a few months last spring the Political Science lecture was fired and like so many other Civil Servants he was banned from his profession as well as forbidden to leave the country after that he had to ask himself what should i do now. We just wanted to do something here for fay then we dont believe. We will find new ways to do what we have been doing in the university and that means what they had weve been doing with science peer groups and with the city in general its in twenty sixteen by our tara signed a petition called academics for peace they criticized how the turkish government handled human rights issues in a kurdish part of the country he was fired for that and barred from Government Service by a state emergency decree. He will also receive another Unemployment Compensation or pension byock tar open the cafe together with other colleagues who were fired may mean the coffee shop. Or house of culture they offer workshops and readings they want to provide a space to share knowledge where people can learn and discuss things and ask critical questions. This was his dream. Seats and greens of maybe that would be a forest maybe dont do this this is. The support and people immediately see a lot of messages over the internet or theres room its easy and thats you gave us support and you gave us hope. Because the cafe and island of hope working here gives him strength and distract him from private concerns. His wife works at a university in germany he hasnt seen her in eight months he is not allowed to leave the country and if she were to return to turkey she would face the same situation. I heard emails. When she comes back i want her to know. This. Departure in so her birds even from germany. I think most. In the capital ankara husband and wife jill and muse luma cino are also saw their professional world collapse before their eyes they were Elementary School teachers before being fired about a year ago now they are trying to make ends meet by running a small food stand the number sixty six on the front counter this is the number of the law that was quoted as they lost their jobs theyre trying to keep a sense of humor oh. We had to sell our car to open the shop we have two children and somehow we have to make ends meet. Today they have a visitor. You know used to teach communications hes writing a book about those who were fired and yes he too was dismissed for the same reasons he wants to tell the stories of some of the forty thousand teachers and professors who lost their jobs. Many people who were victims of us to korea now networking we have the same worries and were beginning to feel some solidarity a kind of Resistance Movement its not just about coming to the shop to eat its more important than that its about the exchange of political and personal ideas. But kamal has almost no contact with former colleagues at the university where he taught. The school was right wing conservative and he was one of the few liberal leftist teachers there now he spends his days in his home Office Working on his book he also has financial worries he has loans to repay but now no income. He gets small Monthly Payments from his labor union but its not enough to make ends meet he and his wife have begun selling homemade leather bags. Started eating soup instead of proper meals and i rarely go out so i can save money. Ive sent out a lot of job applications but no one is interested in employing someone who was let go to a government to curry of course anyone can become unemployed but for us its important to come up with a survival strategy. But its not just about survival these people want their lives back thats what most of the fire professors and journalists are demanding at this demonstration in istanbul. By hard times determined to remain positive he came all the way from this scene to be here today. Its not easy but its not easy to insist on to something you need to eat you you need to see that youre not the only man here youre not the only full of the full of the town and there are other forces that this is it this is stupid this is so you just start to really believe in yourself you just refresh. Your is just days and years to go. Going to need his strength and positivity all of the academics who signed the peace petition have been legally charged the first Court Proceedings began in december but the professor says hes not afraid after all hes an eternal optimist. This week in our global ideas series we take a look at a billion dollar industry cut flowers most of the worlds supply comes from large scale flour farms in just a handful of countries its a business worth around forty full billion euros a year. The Global Center of the cut flower trade is still the netherlands but its production is on the rise in four countries in the tropics one of them kenya. Our reporter money well its checkers headed to lake. Nairobi where dozens of flower farms have sprung up. But for other people who rely on the lake for a living the future looks far from rosy. Was to crop up trees local fishermen have finally managed to learn to catch again. After hours out on the water every boat has at least returned with a few kilos of tilapia. The talk is making the rounds again the pollutants have been found in lake nova. It takes samson much area back to the envy. Ira mental disaster that struck in two thousand and nine the lake almost dried out and the fish population was decimated all caused by the flower farms on the shore i did of course or they almost dried out the lake completely and the chemicals they were draining off affected the water and affecting my god i see there were hardly any fish left so i was when i finish that part of the fish over there that was the harvest of ten loads it took the department of fisheries one year to regenerate the fish stocks so people went hungry. Conditions by like now better are ideal for cultivating flowers over Fifty Companies have set up greenhouses on its shores. The soil is fertile temperatures mild twelve hours sunshine a day when the lakes full of water. Since the two thousand and nine disaster local fishing folk are highly suspicious of the cut flower industry even though strict regulations for companies were introduced in the aftermath. They have to bring that to me cause i want the three of those chemicals those going to cause then they wonder what that comes to when they link arms its also take that what up with the out of a lake and then one of the fish consumes that we need to me how. To the consumers and also to the breeding area because the op i mean about across the breeding any of. The Flower Companies reject the accusations. Normally they wont grant journalists access to their greenhouses. But weve been allowed into this facility accompanied by ruth moore from germanys organization for International Cooperation the g. I. Said. The syrian flower farm claims its own environmental record is exemplary. If this passes the sides of the lake maybe its coming from industries which are not. Mine is by a good crowd of conduct like say the Kenya Flower Council and thats where maybe there needs to be more focus in terms of small scale farming to help us understand the value of using products in a responsible way but also the impact of all those products of that misused on on a major. Surgery and says it only uses half the Industry Standard amount of insecticides. The company prefers to employ in natural allies like these tiny beetles which are sprinkled over the roses to eat the pests the target them. What is more is always looking for natural methods that other operators could also use. All the water in the gutter where the plant not used we recycle to be used again is for many things should be very good for the existent because nothing from what i wish i could be shackled water or drain water go to the eco system but also it safe for our speculators because after recycling there still feel a storage site and then be used again and again and again i think its very cost costly to put up the system for this mock older farmers who are growing outside it might be quite difficult for them to have such a system but for those who have pickup a city two it would be i would solution because it cuts down on the cost but at the same time it was so good for the environment. They dont appear to be any toxins leaking into the lake not russia but assyrian is only one of many flower grows in the area and we arent allowed into the others its also pretty hard to pinpoint just where the pollution is coming from. The flower industry says smallholder farmers are to blame. Like potato farmer paul came on me. So what is the solution to the pollution. Brought about farmers or offered advice on Sustainable Practices by an organization headed by come on board or he also wants to know why the lake is constantly being polluted. And. Yeah. You think that thats what ill do because. They have to improve the. It really. Is that little gap between that acknowledges that. Harms and what this doing and also the kind of advisory they get because even when he has a problem with these put it was he just goes to the vet or to the cost or anything i have this problem but they dont get to get advice on the methods that could be used. Those organization promotes sustainable pest control. We use. The fifth friendly fifth. To feed on. That. Core. Technology that is used in that. They have to think they did but thats nothing new for him before any pesticides were available here so farmers used a species of ants to eradicate crop pests but its also true that the insecticide they use now is highly efficient. Even if it is expensive. Back at lake ny vasher the days catch is already on its way to market which these days is several kilometers away. The lakes water level used to reach as far as the market. Now its shrinking along with its fish stocks. Too Many Companies are pumping too much water from the lake. Its almost thirty degrees in the shade so the fish have to be sold off quickly its a good day for the women of the market has been brought back with them since a small tilapia fetches one euro at the moment the whole will translate into a to. Profits for today at least. One of the. Happy. Because they look at it that it will. Be such as. They walked on the. People at. Least not. Yet for now these people can only hope the water stays clean the way it was before the cut flower industry descended on the shores of lake never. In this weeks global snack we check out of tasty dish from brazil. Its a sultry twenty seven degree celsius in berlin and the frog in metropolis at the mouth of the amazon in the citys famous market the mcardle battle pays off if you can find a flower brazil nuts a rainbow of tropical fruits and all sorts of other regional specialties. This store sells one of the markets most popular fruits. Berries are somewhat sour and earthy pantry fruit is packed with betterments. Everyone here loves them. Measureless is film before we had modern appliances we mashed the berries by hand and press them through a sieve now with these machines its much easier to puree the. Good to go. To mush ears traditionally eaten with fried fish. The flood of diners at lunchtime certainly keeps the owner on his toes. The off site is doled out liberally and even plain without salt or spices. It said the Indigenous People here began eating it despite over. Four hundred years ago. They said being off the berries have to be washed thoroughly and then soaked in warm water by the bush then theyre dropped into these blenders so when you pull out the we call them manipulation machines.
