Was once the. Weather. Of the country and all the. Unforgettable memories but also save the involvement in the process. Of. These flowers were bought from me. Instead of importing them. To create a more environmentally friendly indian wedding. Since the leap on began her career shes just a significant shift in what couples now want on their. So i have been doing this for about 6 years now when i started this i have always been conscious of the choices that they are making so really have tried to implemented here and there and sometimes clients didnt know or we and we did inform them that by going to choose Something Different so i would say probably about 30 percent of the 6 years ago probably less so i guess 20 percent to wanted something ecofriendly but now im surprised myself to see so many people coming forward saying that they want so i would see probably like about 70 to 75 Percent People are kind of conscious and want to perfect the things. Traditionally indian families celebrate marriage with forms and show. A wedding is a display of wealth and tradition. While there is an encouraging green trend among urban indians delete one says it comes with a lot of challenges. People always thing that an eco friendly wedding is equal to being cheap so that has been a challenge trying to get people away from that concept of eco friendly being cheap so there are many different aspects for an eco friendly wedding it can be a simple thing as having people or see people or even a digital invite for the in ways that you give your guests even as a simple thing like having chalkboard for your site and then getting a flex printed which is again a one time use in terms of your trousseau as well i would recommend probably using for one event at least your grandmother sorry your mothers writing starting probably to use some jewelry years ago. Said months isnt of the green entrepreneur and valuable. She founded ben necessities shop. She says that duction is trendy but it isnt a new concept in the country. Traditionally we used to live in a very easy to list we in india and i think in a lot of. The horse who is narrative thats honestly dont need to buy a western europe today. And i think essentially its going to be used to do with its not that normally so i think it is can be very accessible it can be very are my me very average indian. So it can be for everyone and its just about making these small little microlight choices and then i just add. Months sudans workshops on the weekends to improve accessibility and get the community jocking and thinking about reducing waste. She also publishes the d. I. Y. Ideas online with the idea that small changes can drive a bigger movement. I think sometimes gets a bad rep about being too expensive or inaccessible and thats why we do all of these talks and workshops so honestly we. Just need a kitchen or your backyard and you can mostly make a lot of these products within like 20 rupees. But the idea is essentially you know to make it just even accessible so thats a very very transparent about it recipes it all on our website so if you want to make it yourself or you go for it because the ultimate aim is just for less waste to be end up in a landfill or knowledge im optimistic that its going to really change automation shift at least. And sustainability for the better. Eco friendly living is often seen as a privilege of the rich but with. Championing small steps and improving peoples access to green ideas indian consumers have increasing opportunities on their doorstep. Lets take the example of our Rising Energy needs. As an emerging nation with the worlds 2nd largest population the soaring demand for energy in ever to build in india most of this demand is met by burning fossil fuels to be who the government is pushing more and more people to buy into the promise of valuable energy like solar power the actual switch is a very tedious process. Building contractors are hard work has paid off in 2015 he bought a house for his family of 4. Its a big house complete with modern kitchen and air conditioning. The electricity bill is around 10000. 00 rupees a month over 100. 00 euros. To save money he decided to make the switch to renewables. He knew he had heard of the governments solar dog and we wanted to contribute also i saw my neighbor mr go had also installed the roof top solar system and. Thats where i got the idea of installing one in my house system with. His 200 square meter roof is ideal so shell share my installed a rooftop solar system and 20 it meets the household entire energy needs. India is home to a growing urban middle class experts say that of the trend continues the countrys birth Capita Energy consumption is said to quadruple. Has been wasnt of. The cease. Fire of grace and energy comes from 70 per cent of initially. And. So if this is to remain in the future. In mind it also means that order. Coming from. Officially the government is backing an Energy Transition it has set a target of 100 gigawatt installed capacity of solar energy by 2022 offer each party got what will come from rooftop Solar Systems thats the equivalent output of 10 large coal fired power plants but so far its achieved only fraction of this target. Those years otho you know this is it indoors and though it was Russian Companies are using the. Grounds your roles as it is a. Process or a rationing so that when it comes to violence there is also lower level. As we know it and so on and the banks earlier in. The company my son specializes in Rooftop Solar Panel systems it also helps climbs navigate the people work involved. The indian state subsidies the installation but the country is still a long way from reaching its clean energy targets. The real revolution of solar will only come when people like you and i are businesses are buildings industries corporates Hotels Everyone starts using solar because everyone has roof i mean. So you have millions of buildings. Or you have buildings you have potentially a space for a solar setting up a solar power project for so shell share mine the investment was worth it in the last 2 years his 7 kilowatt Solar Panel System has produced 22000 units of electricity. Well most of the biggest benefit for me was that of the cost of a piece 4. 00 and a half lug i was able to pay in installments of a piece. Sometimes my legacy bill would be worth more than that i didnt have to pay anything extra and made this shift for free. As indias middle class continues to grow the countrys Energy Demand is soaring especially in the cities but if more families switch to renewables as the share must have done indias growth want to be of the expense of the environment. A great idea often needs the right time to come to fruition for bicycle enthusiastic london thats right time proved to be the onset of the pandemic the dont know why this crisis has meant fuel cars and a lot more bikes on the citys streets and this could help make a big policy push towards turning london into a bicycle friendly city. I dislike hosting us to be quite comfortable. With the road like theres maybe a competent cyclist is not really much of a problem but you have to be going that more or less the speed of the traffic on your presence on the road has to be quite strong. Films and rides his bike everywhere he cycle some 20000 kilometers e. M. Caltex finished the engine and his family are pleased that more and more londoners are discovering the joys of sightseeing. That will cycling enthusiast from the time when Young Children grow that bikes to school. Thats still something of an oddity in london but that could soon change. And. Then if they get people cycling in the next generation i think the bethany be more confident that on the buy a person would think they should just go ahead and close 50 percent. Side streets just. To cause dont need to go on 50 percent so give us access to everybody. Close as much as possible. Those kinds of demands get londons taxi drivers will riled up the citys cabbies are among scientists the racist critics. Who dont get rid of old and. They would and then it says the traffic at the moment is terrible so i buy cars in. Roads or whatever making more cycle lanes is just going to make the traffic even worse stages because half the people who saw the marmot highlight cars on the small percentage of the you know the highlight charge. I did or. Said it should be some sort of a test for cyclists and yet londons in a city is currently swarming with bicycles as the quran the crisis in a new age of mentality. Cyclists now have some powerful supporters behind them there will be a huge amount of planning going into helping people to get to work other than by mass transit and this will be i hope i made up my writing very well as a former secretary of transport i would agree this is should be a new golden age for cycle but they must act fast when commuters return on mass and wont be enough buses or trains to accommodate them and take it to social distancing missions if even a small percentage of these commute to start using cars instead london will be faced with 10 children. The temptation to get into medical will be very very strong and understandable so i think weve got a short window of time to reach out to both the politicians and to the public a large to say there is a better writer of to. Manage the city londons financial district is leading the way. I am joined by dan access is restricted to process and bikes only. And sidewalks are being widened to give pedestrians more rain. And in some residential districts streets are being close to 3 traffic drivers a having to find others were. Told oh well. This just in these few weeks there is amazing opportunity to connect a lot of the unconnected parts to get the local councils on board to get the local roads facing those who are cycling needs to stop this through universal. During the corona crisis london fields have become more like bike friendly amsterdam. Philip johnson and his family hope it will stay that way they this new golden age for cycling seems almost too good to be true. When the cycle im fine struck eastern india in me 2020 the World Heritage site but this wasnt. Located in the bay of bengal it constitutes the largest mango form. And is at the receiving end of many mental calamities local communities are now putting their Heads Together to find Long Term Sustainable Solutions to improve the Living Conditions in the place they call home. Plan had barely come and gone when help arrived in this and advance. Volunteers from the quarantine Students Network set up pumps to expel the salt water that had collected in the fish ponds. The immediate aim of the Emergency Assistance was to enable locals to return to fish farming and also prevent an outbreak of disease. Public. Health and hygiene are seriously disrupted here and need to be restored stagnant water is dangerous as it can lead to gastro intestinal diseases as well as skin conditions and then there is the often ignored issue of snake bite snake bite. This fish farmer however no longer sees a future here for herself and her family. And what can we do we are dependent on relief now once the lockdown is lifted we will have to leave this in their bones to find work there is nothing left here. This in advance is home to 4000000 people its located in the delta formed by the confluence of the brahmaputra ganges and magna rivers and has a unique ecosystem but the region is frequently hit by storms it took years for the residents to recover from cyclon iowa in 2009 before being devastated again in may of this year. And neil is at least relieved that this time his home was not destroyed by supercycle and his family also survived on hers. Given the family lives in a part of the same divans where a large section of protective levees has been erected. Our weve. Already been built inside julia and laura poorly these areas have traditionally face tremendous damage due to. The wall surprisingly this time they were saved because of the embankment. Next to our village and rang a bell. Which used to suffer a lot because of the storms but this time the concrete embankments have saved the day. Its been 11 years since the Indian Government decided to build the cinder vans and bank wins but just 5 kilometers have been completed to date that section withstood the recent storms and also proved useful for transporting emergency aid so people here now hope construction will continue at a faster pace the to go society for Rural Development is an ngo thats been helping local residents since the 1970 s. And thats one of the you will not go on in. The lives of the people in this delta are always hanging on a thread. So. He knows what danger awaits them on their last. Predictable and they will get worse we need to be properly prepared by quins our best bet. But the embankment still cant stop the salt water from getting into the fields and neil knows he has to adapt by farming his land differently. In some of his fields his now planted more durable plants. Were going to. Now delude ourselves by going to an organization based in delhi helps us with farming certain pulses can grow even in storm prone areas where salt water frequently enter i do not want to what good is it going i was not going to last 5 years weve been growing a range of lentils and pulses across 200 hectares. Because this can prove to be more sustainable for cycling prone regions like ours. The future of the People Living in this into buns will depend on how quickly they can change which crops they plant and how and how soon the embankments can be completed because the cyclons will return with growing frequency and intensity. When faced with a natural calamity not only humans but animals need support to survive to female orangutans for example breeds and produce only 45 offspring storing their lifetimes when the mother of a younger offspring they link to. The wife and Animal Welfare project in sumatra even during the pandemic is teaching these. Kids to do just that. Humans have to keep their distance from a ring of things to even at lunch time. Because both species are at risk of contracting the new coronavirus. These are wrong or tangs are under lockdown and have had to stay in their cages for months. This is Yellow School is closed you can train them to find educational system to get them for it so we bring in the forest for them so its like. Right then and there are mites and all this for us. So they can learn that yes their meals are delivered wrapped in leaves so they have to figure out how to get the food useful practice for when theyre later released into the wild. Cages or disinfected twice a day. Hygiene is of crucial importance. The teams who care for the animals rotate every 3 weeks before they start work staff have their temperature taken another coronavirus precaution they shot the video for this report themselves we talked to the head of the project by video call. Or were going to. Argue with. A very long time d. N. A. Is 97 percent identical to the out of humans so theyre extremely susceptible to all our diseases especially those affecting the risperidone tract. You know thats the main reason why weve imposed such a strict quarantine to make sure theres no transmission of a virus replicating in humans to a population in the wild. It would probably have no immunity or toll to such a virus or how. The effects could be devastating. Duch of ella has been reporting on this project for years 3 aim is to prepare a rang a tanks for survival in their natural jungle habitat in the bucket to go pollute rainforest in central sumatra. Many were rescued as orphans often held captive as pets under terrible conditions they had forgotten or had never learned how to move through the tree tops forage for food and build nests their keepers at the Jungle School teach them all these skills usually out in the forest itself. I rang a tings enjoy piggyback rides many of them dont like to walk much this was before the coronavirus pandemic. So no exercises in the forest for now even though they have so much to learn is. Probably the most important item on the curriculum of Jungle School is learning about fruit trees what they look like and when they bear fruit. In which season arm which years. In order to survive every rung aton has to develop a 4 dimensional mop in their heads covering space and time it takes time to learn all that but weve had to suspend the learning process where the trees and when do they bear fruit as the iraqi towns have to stay in their cages. The lockdown can only be relaxed once the pandemic has been contained this is not good for the animals their fitness deteriorates and they become bored even though not the best preconditions for release and survival in the wild. Those that have already been set free currently lead better lives keepers go on patrol to check on them and provide extra food if need be. Here to social distancing applies. Our work. So. Yes. Yes they. The school is located in the book rain forest and releases its graduates there its a very remote location. So should any rang it tanks here catch the coronavirus they wont pass it on to other ones in the wild. Whats more they tend to be naturally self isolating creatures anyway and dont hang out in big groups. The team faces the challenge of protecting their wards from possible infection while also training them for release. This video was shot a couple of years ago there is no guarantee that a selfsustaining population will emerge here again over the past half century 80 percent of the regions rain forests have been cut down to make way for vast plantations. On our last visit paid to pa to stress the importance of saving the forest and teaching the orangutans survival skills. And you. If the orangutans are able to survive here and all the other animals in the rain forest Animal Community will be to some of the tigers elephants and old you other species thats why its so important to protect them. The number of covert 1000 cases among humans in indonesia continues to rise. The project has a back up plan of the lock down goes on for too long. It will release its a rang attains into the wild before theyve completed their schooling but will then provide them with longer term support out in the forest its that way the tanks will be able to settle and have offspring and their numbers can grow until the threat of extinction here is banished.

News live from berlin nato wants answers from moscow over the poisoning of Opposition Leader alexander vonnie germany says it has proof enough and he was dosed with a deadly nerve agent the kremlin denies involvement now natos called for an International Investigation also coming up german prosecutors are preparing to charge a mother with murdering 5 of her children investigators believe she 1st person sedated and then suffocated but. Also campaigning is ramping up ahead of the u. S. Election democratic nominee joe biden is poised to slam President Trump over his handling of the coronavirus spot can he keep hold of a slim lead in the polls. Welcome to the program nato has called on moscow to cooperate fully in an investigation into the poisoning of russian dissident Alexander Boni the alliance had held a special meeting to discuss the case about the scene in here investigating corruption and siberia shortly before he fell ill is currently in a coma in a hospital here in Berlin Germany says it has evidence he was poisoned with a nerve agent that dates from the soviet era. Nato secretary general you called the case a serious breach of International Law that demands an international response. Nato allies agree that. Serious questions it must answer the russian government must fully cooperate with the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons and the impartial International Investigation those responsible for this attack must be held accountable and brought to justice thought we are joined by our nato has funded and teri schultz in brussels tell you follow the special meeting of nato allies in the poisoning of kremlin critic not only what is their main response to russia. Or their heart nato isnt saying at this very early stage that russian officials or the russian government is definitely responsible for the poisoning of Alexei Navalny what they are saying is that the soviet and the russian government is responsible for any stocks of nova took the nerve agent used to poison of all me and that therefore it must come clean on where those nerve agents are being stored what you know who might have access to them and that it needs to you know participate in an International Investigation that you know if russia wants to say its not responsible it needs to help find out who is terry you have the opportunity to ask the ins 1st question after a statement what did you ask him. Well on my twitter figure i to get a lot of comments about why is nato involved in this at all lexing of all he is a russian citizen it took place in russia nato should just stay out of this so i asked secretarygeneral stolzenberg why nato feels that it has anything to say about this case at all because this is a violation of International Law on International Norms its the use of a chemical of that but its a use of a overunity chemical nerve agent which is violating probation over in use over chemical weapons and matters for nato and when we see that the illegal position full titian in russia is attacked. Is tried to theres not as a nation of time talking against him of course it matters for everyone that believes in the rule of law the moco see individual liberty as we do in nato and start not speaking to him terry the kremlin has denied any culpability and in that case what are the next steps that nato will take. Well again its just a few days after germany concluded that the poison used on election of all me was nobody took which of course is dating back to the to the soviet union so whats nato and the European Union as well want to happen is that an International Investigation take place most likely under the auspices of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons to which russia belongs and at which russia has agreed this is a banned chemical weapon so an investigation needs to take place before any further steps can be taken back in 2018 when it was determined that 2 russian nationals had used an over check against former russian spy sergei scribble on his daughter and 2 other people then nato expelled Russian Diplomats as a consequence and many other countries did as well so were not there yet but that clearly stands as a precedent to what might happen if this can be traced back to responsibility of the russian government itself you know because news of correspondents hershels in brussels thank you terry time now to have a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world and the exiled delusional position lead us.

Then 2 months to go to the us election both President Donald Trump and his rival joe biden are ramping up their companions the latest polls show the race has remained relatively stable over the last few weeks with biden holding 7 Percentage Points over trump nationally now its down to the final battle for swing states and the remaining undecided voters but most of them seem to have made up their minds. These people were unable to get into the president s Campaign Event in pennsylvania despite queueing for hours. But it didnt dampen their enthusiasm.

Biden is what it is to a piece the domestic terrorists my plan is to arrest them and prosecute them. And i will always defend law abiding citizens thats why the writers of voting for biden.
