Of gangs. Its been 26 years since apartheid ended and yet more than half of all South Africans still live in poverty thats around 13000000 people unemployment is rife over 50 percent of young South Africans a jobless with no prospects in sight some resorts to illegal activities south africa has one of the highest crime rates in the world Violent Crime in particular has increased steadily over the past 10 years. The situation in cape town is especially troubling most tourists stick closely to the small bay area below Table Mountain the majority of locals however live in the cape flaps. Were out on patrol with the county guying near. The special task force comets gun crime in the poorer districts of the cape flats on the outskirts of cape town going into the theater. The team drive to a building thats home to the leader of the corner boringness a notorious gang. Heavily armed officers stormed the building and turn the entire apartment upside down. They find large sums of cash 12800 South African round you quibble and about 800 euros. That is now being sealed. You understand is that exactly it will be an inquiry and. Its now youll pay the money. The police also find drugs hidden in mailboxes outside the building theyre packaged into small bundles ready for sale. And that is what this one is about because she says this money she sells. At the book is the full of money and. For some. It is. The officers dont find any weapons but they suspect theyre out on the street. More than a 1000000 people live in the cape flats. Gangs have a hold on the area and the murder rate is one of the highest in the world. The army has been on patrol here since july 29th seen but the death toll continues to rise. Were driving through gang territory a landscape that shaped by poverty drugs and violence. There are a few prospects for the young people growing up here many of whom join gangs an early age. An intermediary puts is in touch with the gang we meet with a few members in lotus river what if. No one is forced to become a gangster so they say everyone is free to make their own decision so why did they become gangsters. And become a gangster. Why go up and then vitamin. Going. And doing the same thing with. The matter of fact way the 23 year old talks about murder is disturbing. If i get mad i will. Go over there kill. One so. While in some murder are part of their lives says he too is just 23 years old. And looking. Out for. All of. Them still. She doesnt know. Its a war but also kills innocent bystanders often children. People who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Others are targeted if they want the gangs activities in some way. Like after all andrew sun our cargo dealers apparently wanted to sell drugs outside his familys home after all tells us that her son tried to stop them one evening he said he needed to go out he left his phone at someones house im wanted to pick it up. Remembers that it was hard for him to say goodbye to suddenly the nice eyes were full of tears and he said that i have to you know it and i said please dont do it now dont go fish should know that it is not ok and he said but i have to go fish to my phone because im worried they might phone in it in the hands of somebody that i dont trust and in probably about 20 minutes after that somebody came to say it was shot. Average andrews chose not to feel better she set up a foundation in order to help others. Everyone here shares the traumatic experience of having lost a son their stories are all unique but also tragically similar. In the form of shared with. If you dont know what to do those in there. The 2nd shot it over if you would still try to figure out the. Subject just inside him probably dont think it would. It even if they did everything to be the dog. That caught him in there and he was. So. Some of the perpetrators are still at large i just hope and pray. They just as well put it away for all the children whose losing their lives give the cape. Life is. All that innocent all the small children babies. Just as. It. Was it. Was. After all andrews world simply sit around and wait she set up a soup kitchen funded by donations on her own money around 200 people come here every day. After all talks to the young people on tries to help them find a way out of the violence. We can save everyone all at once she says but maybe one after the other. In 2013 china announced its belts and road and should save also called the new silk road the aim is to expand trade links between asia africa and europe so far china has spent around 180000000000 euros on the project the final cost is estimated to reach about 900000000000 while there are some concerns about chinas expanding power many countries welcomed the cash injection individuals however im experiencing the downsides of Chinese Investment like in cambodia. Pung searing says she doesnt want to get used to what sihanoukville has become. Theres been dirt trash and construction waste everywhere for 3 years. She shows us where her fruit and vegetable shop used to be. Its now a restaurant the chinese owner was willing to pay 3. 00 times as much rent as her. Reception is a little frosty. My shop used to be here punk tells her not the new owner doesnt understand any. He is a translation app to try and communicate with her on the screen it says that his business isnt doing that well. It makes me sad this shop with my life i earn decent money here i could even save some now everythings changed. To were not. Punks house is still here surrounded by skyscrapers cranes and Building Sites she now runs a small online shop from her smartphone she gets inquiries nearly every week from chinese buyers who want her plot of land but pung wants to stay here even though she feels completely surrounded. The buildings that scare me and theres constant shaking and noise. And i dont think the buildings are all that sturdy one of them collapse the other day im. Little remains of the once tranquil port town of c. N. N. Chinese Construction Companies have transformed the place into a tourist magnet with hundreds of hotels and casinos. Most of the workers come from china. A chinese Supermarket Chain has opened a branch here their product range is tailored to the needs of the Chinese Workers and most of the profits here end up in the hands of the chinese. As night falls a sea of bright lights eliminates the city. More than 60 newly built casinos lurch chinese gambling. As to cambodia gambling is illegal for cambodian citizens but we still meet plenty in the city center after all these casinos need a lot of staff. Cambodians run the gambling tables and serve the gas some of them have managed to profit from the huge changes in their city. So i dont want to speaking only in terms of money on have a slightly better life now a bit more income. Maybe my family will even come here to play. There by i dont like the way things have developed here but as far as the money goes its ok. The space a scenic fill has been completely transformed by the gambling industry and chinese funded construction projects. But the provincial governor maintains that this is a boon to the area. They say by their it might be hard to imagine right now but we will soon have a modern on magnificent city were making the city a small city right at that moment theres a blackout the grid is overloaded again but the governor carries on regardless we have everything under control he says. Here on the outskirts of the city is a small settlement for 50 families the government relocated people here who are getting in the way of the Smart City Project before theyre forced resettlement they were all living on valuable plots of land in the city center. The land was taken from them and used for hotels and casinos. Near mall prandial its so unfair i feel helpless these people are so powerful. Its a huge injustice. This area here is totally deserted when i can keep a few chickens but otherwise i cant earn any money i met. Her husband is a motorbike taxi driver and now has a long journey to work he usually drives Chinese Tourists around. And takes us along and shows us where he and his family lived for 30 years. His 6 children grew up here it was a tight knit community the houses have now been torn down. City authorities revoked his right to live on the property. But. Its heartbreaking to stand here. Are dont know what weighs more heavily sadness or anger. Im just speechless. I was a soldier i worked hard for this long for this country but what theyre doing here. Is this the facts are gallo that we are in it for song and others like him its a bitter pill to swallow. This Weekend Label ideas we had to one of the worlds most popular tourist destinations the caribbean behind visitor numbers are taking a toll on the Natural Environment they are reported to have shalem bag went to the Dominican Republic to find out whats happening above and below the water he made some worrying discoveries but also met people who are working hard to 10 things around. The world a lot of it i dont know that lolol finally some fish theyve worked for days for this whole the fishes have been doing this job. Whole lives here off the coast of punta cana in the east of the Dominican Republic i thank. God you know the locals all over america they used to make good money to bring this little bit of it up i. Meant that my new home. Office up with my life was better before things are getting harder and harder fishing isnt the same as it used to be here business is really bad. Holiday at 1st glance this looks like a decent cottage but 10 years ago it would have been twice the size. The reason lies here the entire coast of the Dominican Republic is lined with coral reefs around 90 percent of them have either died or severely damaged. The water temperature is rising because of Climate Change this makes the corals weaker and more vulnerable to pollution and human activity. This is how everything looks about the surface. Must tourism. The country attracts 6 and a half 1000000 visitors every year the Tourism Industry consumes huge amounts of resources and takes its toll on the wildlife. I look at it and its over that hardly anyone knows this but about 80 percent of the typical white sands of the caribbean are actually the white skeletons of coral. And if we dont have healthy reefs and we dont have healthy corals were in danger. Losing all these beautiful things even the white sands and that in the very places where tourism is the main source of income when i last saw him as on their 30th muscle l. S. A. T. Up in that one thing that us. Marine biologist samantha mascot is working to preserve the reefs. In the lab she prefers corals for experimental purposes. That later be transferred to every. Asset as we had when just cover the coral grows faster if its divided up into small fragments rather than left in one big piece a gaffe and see if that i think that mine and my you know it uses this disc like a prosthesis and the coral wraps itself around it as if it were its own skeleton and theyre not going there in the sense that i know the corals can grow up to 10 centimeters a year using this method up to 4 times faster than they would in nature. The stuff for me is the al gay and some from them on a daily basis. Its usually several months before theyre ready to be released into the city. The lapis financed by a group of investors who i know grange of hotels in the country gem and grunts also help to fund. Get the kick in the People Matter i think then we can see which species are most resistant to higher low temperatures. Or to low sunlight or to other parameters like an excess of nutrients or a camper when it is going to and. Other species of coral require different breeding methods. Several times a week samantha and her colleagues take a bite out to the Coral Gardens theyve planted in the open sea. They add up whatever we can and get the coral were working with today is called staghorn carro. Used to be the dominant species here. You know its really sad when you think about it but were transplanting coral in places that used to be covered in a. Bag. With a hammer and some pliers and hand they plunge for me to spello the surface. Of the corals theyve planted a growing along a grid. Once the tentacles have reached 15 centimeters they can be broken off reset just use them to hope restore the destroyed reef. The groves of the carlos is precisely documented. The tentacles are literally nailed to the reef 9000. 00 corals have been attached to the reefs i found about 70 percent of them have survived. Its a success for the team but they maintain that we should be acting productively rather than reactively. About 25 percent of the worlds marine life depends on coral reefs. Seem not so good as the motorist out and we had restored the reef but if we dont change our mindset if we dont start using less plastic if we dont start using detergents that contain less phosphate something than that and if we dont start recycling better. Than all our work here wont make that much difference and that while at rest our essay on. The team hopes to expand that work over the coming years they want to restore more reefs and extend marine protections i guess. But the continued growth of tourism will inevitably pose a challenge. As you make your way from a to b. In many cities around the world chances are youll movements are being tracked one Study Suggests that there are already at around 770000000 surveillance cameras in operation wind those in favor say cameras help lower crime rates others warn that theyre slowly eroding our personal freedom despite such concerns Video Surveillance is on the rise by 2021 that could be as many as a 1000000000 such cameras installed across the globe. At this trade fair for Security Technology in moscow a major trend is making waves facial recognition many russian and chinese manufacturers are here. He recognized me who the digital doorman if youre verified your in the camera scans the face and creates a biometric map thats compared to a previously compiled image at the next stand the salesman has a body kemah touch to his jacket which captures trade fair visitors without their knowledge its Something Police could use to match against a database of suspects so whos using these systems says that at the moment its that your they can be used in stadiums stations and other Public Places where technology is very useful and allows you to filter out people at the entrance who pose a threat. I like up with google shows. Under the picture theres all this information about me and 99 percent probability that i wear glasses for example. But only one percent probability that im happy. Im estimated to be 30 years old devices thanks for the compliment and it says im a man. My face is everywhere anyway if you ride the subway there are 20000. 00 cameras installed so youll definitely be filmed. If the police need to find you they could search through 20000 videos but its much faster with this system is the best and it works in january 29000 a man walked into moscow structure called gallery and stole a painting directly off the wall he was arrested soon afterwards thanks to facial recognition but not everyone is for it. Is a lawyer and an activist opposed to facial recognition. Of the companies and they say they can find out the demi and i own are standing here and the exact location. Of a square plus the time down to the 2nd that put it up for the sequel in the us now with which we know for sure that facial recognition was involved in the arrests of activists at last years protests in moscow its just like in china where only people opposed to the government arrested and believes that this Surveillance Video was used by the authorities for facial recognition it includes footage of her with a protest banner outside the Russian Parliament it was a dumb ok well good idea yes our message to them is stop going after us without a court order and without our agreement made you have no right to do that. Is making use of her right to take the authorities to court. Were not permitted to film during the 3 hour hearing although we can hear the judges voice was. No good its no wonder that she dismissed the case just so and then theres my. Yeah right there muslim but im not disappointed on the contrary its reinforced my determination to fight. All the authorities admitted gathering data but the other side was nervous and got very irate that when you lose control like that you have to be hiding something that is abiding was not looking at this that is going to live here its part of our launched an appeal and there are other concerned citizens like her. Journalist and they could gonski wanted to find out whether the police can be trusted with facial recognition data and search the black market online. Myself access to the citys facial recognition system and got hold of a hit list based on my face so. That list was 80 pages long and included a lot of people who look similar to him but there was no direct match with his own face some of the images were taken by cameras over building entrances in russia thats becoming the norm. If the security its important everyones worried about their safety nowadays. Doesnt it bother you if the city knows everything. Even without these cameras everyone knows everything anyway it comes to the internet. And they see it on their minds hoping that people could misuse this data and that gives me a bad feeling. Somebody who wants to beat me up could find out when i get home and who with all who i visit i dont want. And popova are in a minority for most people in moscow it seems security is more important than personal privacy.
