GLOBAL 3000 – DW-TV’s new globalisation magazine looks at the issues that are moving us today, and shows how people are living with the opportunities and risks of globalisation. GLOBAL 3000 gives globalisation a face. During the Kosovo War nine years ago, many of the people from Pristina fled abroad. One of them is Naim Bunjuka. Naim Bunjaku is a radio host, journalist, and singer who lives and works in Pristina, Kosovo. We asked him what globalization means to him, what he hopes the future will bring, and what keeps him up at night.

Destination Istanbul: Syrians Fight for a New Existence

The United Nations has described it as a movement of refugees in a dimension that has never before been seen. Over the past three years of the Syrian civil war, Turkey has accepted more refugees than all of Europe put together. According to the UN, there are 130,000 refugees just on the Turkish-Syrian border, compared with 124,000 Syrian refugees throughout all of Europe. A total of some 1.6 million Syrians are in Turkey, and many have ended up in Istanbul - searching for work and a roof over their heads. But Turkish officials are struggling to look after the Syrians: there's not enough work or shelter. Human trafficking is an additional problem.

A problem the inventors of FoodLoop want to address.Barcodes contain a lot of information - including the item's sell-by date. The FoodLoop App uses that information to show users in the vicinity where there are foods on special offer because they're approaching their sell-by date.

What do you do if you're about to go away on holiday and your fridge is still half full? Many people in Germany would probably end up throwing the food away. But now there's an alternative. Nearly one third of all foods produced worldwide get thrown away. Over 8000 "food rescuers" in Germany have got together to do their bit to change that. On their website www .foodsharing.de, donors just have to fill in when and where they plan to leave the food - at a public fridge in their vicinity.
