Has brought some calm to a place often associated with war and chaos. The Democratic Republic Of The Congo the second largest country in africa with a population of ninety four million has a violent history the independence gained in the one nine hundred sixty was followed by bloody civil war under thirty years of dictatorship. Today the d. L. C. Is still plagued by political instability but there are oases of peace and serenity the capital kinshasa is known for its mindfully cultural scene and that includes one of central africas only symphony orchestras. Conductor. Is tough and demanding he says this is how he gets the best from his students. The. You have a problem with your flute just if you look at the logistical. Im actually a pilot but music is my passion. But its true i dont have any academic training in this area. This is not passion is what helps us get to know our instruments and to learn how to play with us. Everyone here shares that same passion for Classical Music barely anyone has professional training instead they all trained right here together a missile struck. A missile im happy here and i have a lot of friends. Started learning the violin at the age of twelve and right from the start she was determined to join an orchestra. To fema lives in this district music she says has helped her enormously. Len music music has changed Classical Music has something very calming about it has helped me to reflect and react in my everyday environment with my friends and others. Family lives in a modest house her father sings in a choir and was supportive of his daughter learning an instrument it was only possible because the orchestra subsidize the cost of the lessons but the conditions were far from ideal when he. Thought there were thirty students but only two violins in the mornings i went to school and in the afternoon i had violin lessons. But actually i could only hold the violin briefly then already it was the next childs turn to see m. M. s had gone live you know. Now dove in practices every day and she rehearses with the orchestra five times a week hes also studied and is doing an internship with a Foreign Ministry the twenty eight year old hopes he might get a job there later. Finding work is not easy in the democratic republic of congo unemployment is high and poverty is widespread. Over seventy percent live under the Poverty Level less than two euros a day just live your. Life in kinshasa is difficult sometimes. Its like living in anarchy its tough but we stay here nonetheless. Did you see where. The government frequently fails its citizens and churches bridge the gaps. The orchestra is run by a Free Christian Church it offers people support and has also built a number of schools and hospitals in one thousand nine hundred four its set up the orchestra. Music lessons take place within the Church Building there are no music schools in the democratic republic of congo so how is anyone supposed to learn how to play an instrument. I love music. Ever since i was little so when i listen to music i feel good. This ng is the soundtrack to everything. That. Was. The church is now building a Real Music School it wants to give more people access to the power of music the new school will also have rehearsal rooms for the orchestra the project is being funded by the church and above all through donations the conductor is supervising the construction work. Theres a good music schools in other countries and i noticed that children started learning an instrument theyre very young. And i thought. Thats what i want for our children to do the new building will have five floors everyone here is prepared to roll their sleeves up and get to work even the musicians. Soufan if you see the work is not difficult and afterwards at four oclock i go to choir. The church also runs a large choir and until the building is finished the eighty or so singers rehearse outside. And then theyre joined by the orchestra theyre rehearsing a come to order for mendelssohn psalm forty two in germany. Its all at once a nice absolute were a large symphonic family many musicians have found their own voice here. And the orchestra simply accompanies each musician in their dreams. Little bit lit the school shapes the musicians of tomorrow. Back in one nine hundred seventy one then u. S. President Richard Nixon declared war on drugs since then the United States alone has sunk more than a billion dollars into the campaign. According to the u. N. More than two hundred twenty five Million People worldwide use illegal substances. Globally speaking the Illegal Drugs trade is worth around three hundred to five hundred billion dollars a year. Is there any hope of winning this battle. And this path through the forest leads to an illegal marijuana plantation is just one of many in southwestern colombia. Shows as a field. He also used to go cannabis illegally and spent two years in jail for it. The colombian government isnt a major presence here until a year and a half ago this area was under the control of fark rebels. I believe about eighty percent of the population here grow cannabis. They all want to stop participating and necessarily go activity if you raise cattle or grow plants like manioc or bananas but hardly anyone can make a living from it. For cut into a town of thirteen thousand people medical marijuana is a real opportunity this used to be in the middle of far controlled territory and for fifty years there were few ways to earn a living here. The mayor is pleased about the new business he says a dozen farmers cooperatives have already signed agreements with pharmaceutical companies. We want to change things including because of criminal gangs drug cartels and mafiosi weve had a lot of violence here we want to replace them with the cooperatives and businesses. But he says. Colombia is looking to become a global export leader in medical marijuana ninety one domestic and Foreign Companies have already obtained growing licenses. The first one was issued to the canadian Colombian Firm fatima c. L. O. Which is based. On october twenty seventh teen. C. E. O. Federico cox says theyve already invested more than forty Million Dollars in modern production facilities. Colombias climate fertile soil and a peace treaty reached with bark all helped win investors over. Fifty vehicles over just what a way of. Medical cannabis could become very important to colombias economy the industry could be worth forty billion dollars worldwide as things stand now colombia could already meet twenty to thirty percent of global demand. That read going to your not. The Company Grows cannabis in its own greenhouses its required to obtain at least ten percent of its raw material from small and midsized growers thats why pharma c. L. O. Has also signed a contract with a coop in code into that include sixty three families. Colombia only permits the export of medical cannabis products not the flour. The government wants the country to develop its own processing industry sugarcane is also grown in the current a valley but only a few locals are living from it the mayor hopes that Legal Cannabis will do more to increase employment. We mainly produce sugarcane here a tech has of sugarcane creates just one job one hectare of medical marijuana creates ten to fifteen jobs in the first year alone were expecting between one thousand and fifteen hundred new jobs in the region i mean thats you have nano to and yet doesnt want anything to do with the local drug mafia he joined with more than one hundred other farmers to found a cooperative. After years wait theyve received their official growers license. He hopes that a legal way to earn a living will make a big difference for his family. You know what i. Mean i hope my son will be able to attend a good university. Usually once hes received an education then maybe he can work here to. Bring the story and the pictures from college or not without doing anything illegal or dangerous and without having to deal with criminals. From my life. More ways to earn a living legally will also help bring peace to the region the remaining rebels and the drug lords have withdrawn into the mountains at night their marijuana fields glow. Red lights are intended to make the plants grow more quickly. But theyre also warning the drug mafia arent yet ready to throw in the towel. This week in global ideas were off to jordan a country where water is extremely scarce to find out more about the challenges of Water Management in an arid region are reported on his fed met people near the capital amman. Waters his familys all of trees every day. But water only comes out of the mains once a week on wednesdays. So thats when theyre always busy stocking up. Everybody here has a tank on the roof or a sister in the garden. It often doesnt rain for weeks on end here. The village of a new shot is fifty kilometers from the capital amman water from the mains just one day a week is standard across jordan. When there are problems at the water works it sometimes doesnt show up at all even on one stays. Steady home and if theres no water it affects everybody and everything. And the cleaning the family and the animals the olive trees and all the other trees. And water wasnt always as scarce as it is today dallas father ybarra remembers when it was plentiful and came from a nearby river. But those times are long gone. In the one nine hundred sixty s. There was always enough water. We had a big fat twelve inch pipe from the river. But then it was kept in one thousand nine hundred four because it was less and less water in the river. Out. In. That river bloody i was has no shrunk to a mere trickle. Its the same in most parts of the country. Very little rain falls here and water is extremely scarce jordan is one of the driest countries on earth. At the same time its population is growing so demand for water in the cities has soared in mud up for example. Two hundred thousand people live in the area at an elevation of eight hundred meters. Water has to be pumped here from lower lying regions hundreds of. Kilometers away that takes lots of equipment and energy and its expensive the countrys aging water supply system heats up around fifteen percent of all the electricity used in jordan and a lot of the water it transports is lost due to leaks but some hajek as an engineer whos here to work on improving water resource management. Hes employed by germanys g. R. I. Z. Development agency old pumps use a lot of electricity high acas installing new ones that use a third less. That will give us a way to sustain water supply for the communities and also it itself will be able to use the savings in the energy to maintain the facility to maintain the network of on and off the wall this will be affected in you know positive impacts on the community as a whole. The price of the electricity that powers the waterworks has just soared forty percent in jordan so pressure is mounting to hike water prices too but with more efficient pumps power consumption will decline and they should make the water supply more reliable as well. Ok. Which the new pumps have been flown in and have just passed through customs a little while later they arrive and. They cost a quarter of a Million Euros and were paid for by the g. I. Z. Hajek says theyre a good investment and good for the environment although jordan is shifting to a new a bulls most of its electricity is still generated by fossil fuels which emit vast amounts of c o two into the atmosphere. Of an introduction that will be in the range of eight hundred thousand kilograms c o two per year just want to from this one station all but about the water cycle in mother about is also in twenty eight million. C o two equivalent. As well so. There are other stations and we are working to cover the whole cycle as well. Zaki shot him runs a small commercial garden he has greenhouses a few outdoor planting beds and of course his own reservoir. And. The problem is simply not enough water and thats why i have to use mostly recycled waste water. Its ok and its cheap but it is waste water and i know what that is you know. But without it my plants wouldnt grow that be nothing left. But some hajek says everyone here is concerned about the water supply and all are looking forward to improvements we believe that in the future a community will feel this effect as well but their services but their maintenance and. Quantity of water. Hajek stops by the family home. He says hes looking forward to the day when his water supply really is reliable. Once the new pumps are up and running. To the boat.
