meanwhile dock to reach zero is seen patient after patient this elderly woman has a number of complaints it would take a day of travelling to get to the nearest hospital and hardly anyone could afford the trip anyway few people in this remote part of the country benefit from health care. this one so difficult yeah they censored tavish when the mobilization and then they proceed they have sometimes to improvise and use a bit of soap but when it's time to money diminishing time when they're cutting off drags it's so difficult as compared to working in the pacific which is where godwin ruto normally works but for the last two years instead of taking an annual holiday he's been volunteering with the mobile camel clinic he calls it giving something back to society. and even if it's hard work and often frustrating the team enjoy their trip to remote parts of kenya. by the time night

falls and they gather around the campfire even the camels look contented. over the . now in global brains we look at if we at least simple invention that some say saving lives. these babies are receiving good care most newborns in india with special medical needs do not especially in rural areas hospitals that can look after pre-term or low wage newborns are few and far between. about one in three babies born in india are born clinically low birth weight and their high risk for a number of complications two of which are hypothermia and infection. and they're born in places where it is not adequate infrastructure is for the doctors may not have the expertise to treat them and they often go home earlier than anyone would

do because of financial constraints according to official figures more than twenty percent of india's population live in extreme poverty and many parents can't read or make sense of a thermometer hyperthermia is often considered a silent killer it's not easily detected especially by parents who are not aware educated about the importance of temperature and there you want them pretty maintenance is the more is a most critical and unless you get that right and whatever floats your boat may not help much the founders of them pool of come up with a hypothermia monitoring device in the form of a bracelet its battery can last for more than a month the first few weeks of a baby's life are the most critical if a baby's temperature falls below thirty six point five degrees celsius the device issues an alarm. so mothers are being proactive in their

care if you want as soon as they're getting discharged by kicking the bend and along with ben ben program is going to the mind them to say that my follow up is there next tuesday and i want to meet the doctors may want to meet people from the more important cared for. about eight million babies are born with a low birth weight in india every year very many of them are affected by hypothermia if they get cold they expend so much energy trying to maintain their temperature that they can't thrive or grow even in hospitals i prefer mia is often not detected staff shortages are usually to blame. the work we do here is. empowering doctors nurses fathers and mothers to be able to take better care of their newborns. the bamboo bracelet has already helped thousands of newborns in india the plan is to introduce it soon in african and

southeast asian countries. years ago the first child was conceived through in vitro fertilization. since then a lot has changed since one nine hundred seventy eight around six point five million children have been conceived in this way. i.v.'s has become more common as the technology has matured but it's still controversial the world's main religions take different stances on the procedure it's been a source of debate for decades. buddhism and hinduism don't have a problem with it. i.d.f. is critically within judaism but it's not banned as long as the egg and the sperm come from the parents the catholic church however is opposed to it protestants are also not uncritical but leave the disc. up to the parents conscience.
1:42 pm
is normal in the other hands takes a tolerance approach to in vitro fertilization if the couple are married and that's even an arch conservative in rom. every year and akbar hussein a poor come to this mosque to mark the death of the second imaam haasan. people gather here to give thanks and to ask god to answer their prayers. suck in a has had the same wish for the past twenty years. if i'm honest i pray to god for a child. it's clear that akbar is uncomfortable talking about the subject in public . he worries that if he and his wife remain childless they'll be scorned by their community. because. i don't like to talk about it or.
1:43 pm
for my home i want it to stay between godly self until a miracle happens. well some more mature more disabled one. or two or more yes i went to the doctor i was say that i didn't. know i just really wish we could have a child. was. born . the couple live in the small town of austin a posh rafia in the north of iran situated in the province of geelong on the caspian sea. it's an area where religion and tradition still play an important role.
1:44 pm
the most in a pours have invited their entire family for a visit none of them know that the couple have undergone i.v.'s far away from home in the capital tehran. faith in god is one thing faith in modern medicine another. the large sign on the facade of the office cena and fertility clinic belies the fact that i.v.'s is not widely talked about in the islamic republic even though supreme leader ayatollah ali hominidae issued a fatwa providing religious sanction for the process a few years ago. the clinic serves around twelve thousand couples every year there are seventy such clinics throughout the islamic republic. for more and more iranians i.p.f. is the only way to have a child professor media condi is the director of the institute it's estimated that around twelve to fifteen percent of couples worldwide are unable to have children
1:45 pm
in iran it's more than twenty percent. unfortunately the infertility rate is very high in iran. there are several reasons for this environmental pollution lifestyle. and of course there's been an increase in the number of people marrying later and deciding to have children later in life and that also affects fertility me. of all the couples we spoke to not one had told their families about their attempt to conceive through i.p.f. are there with the husband's sperm or with donated sperm from a sperm bank. so bad that i want to see many couples hide the fact they've undergone i.v.'s even after they've done it including couples who've used their own sperm. ninety percent of patients are inseminated with their own sperm. then
1:46 pm
wellbutrin then may keep it secret and pretend the pregnancy happened naturally and we actually advise them to do that because if the registry office learns that a child was conceived through insemination it can be problematic then the couple has to prove the child is really has. that. although iran is highly advanced when it comes to research into i.v.'s the topic is still taboo and that's despite the fact that the countries religious authorities have given their approval for the procedure as a way of increasing the birth rate. but there is still legal uncertainty once the child is born especially if the baby was conceived using donated sperm. in. islam doesn't forbid i.v.s. even sorry that mothers have been allowed since two thousand and two the question
1:47 pm
is whether the child was conceived using the father's own sperm or someone else's if the father was not the sperm donor then the question is whether he would be allowed to see his daughter without a headscarf such a child would not inherit from the father but would from the mother. the food prepared by the host city force today as a sacrificial offering they hope that this will help their wish finally come true. the couple goes back and forth between putting their trust in god alone and trusting also in medical professionals. they don't have much time. it's already forty one years old and they haven't yet managed to save up their money for the next i.d.f. procedure it's the equivalent of twelve hundred euros a whole year's salary and a huge sum for the poor farmers it's a battle against nature time and a conservative society which looks down on those without a child. where do you stand on different topics

wound re stones demarcate the pastoral area moving from one passenger area to another is the nomadic tradition. when i was there i let them graze here for a month then i send them down there so that the grass can grow back. but it no longer grows back as much as it should be more sustainable practices than simply changing the pastoral area from time to time are now called for mahmoud bridge or is on a team working on behalf of the german development agency g.-i said researching ways to improve traditional pasture management they want to see how varying intensities of grazing affected education growth. and we'd like to repeat the experiment we're conducting here in other parts of jordan. the project will last

1:52 pm
provide are essential to our livelihood if we want to live a life of dignity. princess paris mass says she thinks politicians need to do more to protect the ecosystem they will start to realize when the impacts are going to get stronger we felt this most recently in the last five years with. the huge numbers of refugees has place a huge impact on our natural resources mainly water they're going to realize that if you protect our forests for example we actually can harvest more water by increasing the bankability of the water in our in our soils so it's really a whole full circle fragile ecosystems in a politically unstable region mean big problems but the budget to solve them is small says ride bunny honey of the ministry of environment he does nonetheless say
1:53 pm
there's been some progress. but in the past the old law said nothing of directly about the protection of biodiversity the new one passed just recently is very concerned with precisely that it also includes sanctions to protect biodiversity and. that's good news for wildly cardiac canyon south of the capital amman and away he says of biodiversity in an often arid desert landscape a lot of water is channeled to farms and towns in the area but at this time of year there's still water flowing in the river. local men have got together to look after while the current. some used to hunt until they realized there were fewer and fewer animals to kill now they seek to
1:54 pm
protect the areas plants and animals. these men are doing important work. with the most important thing is keeping the canyon clean. they go down there and pick up all the trash. but they also tell visitors about the environmental issues and the workers tour guides to earn some money. for. a trip along the canyon can lead right through a waterfall. the guys have been trained to keep the tourists safe. the canyon is more than twelve kilometers long much of the terrain is beautiful but not the parts nearest sewage works. ten days earlier wastewater was released here the stands still stink.
