Environmentalists here in germany are warning of another looming disaster if no action is taken these heading towards extinction the insects are crucial pollinators and their decline is putting pressure on the worlds food systems but the backers in germany have to contend with government bureaucracy and resistance from farmers. This is where im not in the rule of 10 queen bees here at the German Parliament named after the 2 most important women in germanys green party. Daniel host stan started here 5 years ago with one colony now half a 1000000 bees a buzzing in the parliament garden. But he says of us to. Have become the symbol for all the insects that weve been losing over the last few years is beans have it tough in agricultural environments because the number of trees is declining so theres less blossoms in fact bees in the city a much better off than those in the countryside. And best argued this may look pretty but monocultures kill bees and insects say these demonstrators outside the Parliament Building in berlin half the while the species in germany are threatened with extinction. Make the feels buzz again say the protesters. A moment in the act after the wrong under the current rules the e. U. Subsidizes large scale farming for quantity not quality and we want farmers to get money when they actually deliver service to nature and the environment and the chuffed at getting. The used Green New Deal plan sets and wishes goals for agriculture to become greener and more insect friendly but politicians sympathetic to farmers warn against simply reducing the use of pesticides. I believe we can invest a lot in research to develop alternative pesticides that have a smaller ecological footprint than those we have now. So where does that leave the bees the German Government has a socalled action plan for the protection of insects but even the environment minister concedes that its not enough. The state of nature here in germany is not satisfactory there are many areas where more needs to be done but the situation is slightly improved with beach forests cities and forests but is still dire when you look at the german agricultural landscape. So the consensus is that that more needs to be done to protect bees and other insects but consensus alone will not save them. All muslims around the world have been observing ramadan the holy time of fasting and prayer traditionally its a time of community and a chance to gather with friends and family but this year thats been complicated by widespread lockdown regulations so here in berlin christians have offered muslims a unique place to pray. The call to prayer from inside the church of saint martha in berlin every friday throughout ramadan. The higher than how much. We see ramadan as a very valuable thing. We think that prayer and opening ourselves to each other and to god helps reinforce humanity and peace shuff people scratch their debit card oh as a sign of solidarity they thought it would be a good idea to give muslims a chance to cry in the church and so its a Great Initiative and we thank them for it. To have michael just come into germany has allowed places of worship to reopen but with a restriction only a maximum of 50 people are allowed to pray at a time in this church around 100. 00 people want to pray so theyre divided into 2 time slots one in german and the other in arabic.
