this was once a classroom where kids used to play and got educated. but this time it's been reduced to a scene of no activity because of the level of destruction caused by increasing tidal waves. global warming is causing a significant rise in sea levels, making the erosion worse. the advancing coastline has already swallowed up these homes, and residents here tell me they fear losing everything. djon djon is mushrooms. ooh! that smells good. my name is francois alexandre. i was born in ayiti, also known as haiti. and i came here, in the united states, in 1996, at the age of ten. little haiti has been here for such a long time. this place became a place of resurrection for myself in terms of my cultural identity. the little haiti is very vibrant, and you can smell the culture, the seasoning. this is definitely inside the united states but it feels very foreign. the majority of the properties that are in ti ayiti, little haiti, these properties are way overdue for renovations. they were overdue to either be destroyed and to be built back up. i'm renita holmes. miami born and raised. i'm an african american, inner city woman that loves my city and loves my community. since i moved, i haven't unpacked this time. this is my fourth move in three years. the housing unit, where there's so many issues of mould, moisture, no drains. to me, my health changed when i came over. so, curtains are a luxury, and... ..that's what aluminium foil does, in making sure that covering my windows keeps the humidity down. i own a restaurant and i've been here five years now and basically, the rent in one year, less than one year, has doubled. now i'm thinking, "what could happen in a couple of months?" that was the famous burrito, although we call in honduras baleada. i've been talking to some of my customers, some of my customers i no longer see, and we were like, "where is so—and—so?" and all of a sudden, they'll find us on facebook and they'll leave us comments that they left to... ..georgia, that they left to texas. i'm not feeling secure. i'm already thinking about other cities, maybe other states, even possibly. ifeel like i am going to be displaced. there is an ironic phenomenon at play here. it's higher ground, further away from the coast, at one time was more affordable because it was the least desirable place to be. now, there is a certain irony that those places may, indeed, become much more desirable. my name is william butler and i'm a professor at florida state university and my areas of research are in environmental planning, broadly speaking. i can't speak specifically to whether climate gentrification or climate change gentrification is a key, or the key, driver of gentrification pressure in little haiti. what's clear is that gentrification pressure is very well under way. people within little haiti have started seeing signals for climate change gentrification being part of the dynamic that they're facing. that adds one more layer to drivers of displacement of lower income people who are the most stressed in the context of climate change in the first place. little haiti has been underinvested in for almost 50 years. we can't make investment the bogeyman because people won't invest into an area unless they believe there is a future. i've been involved in little haiti for about 22 years. you know, little haiti is at 18ft above sea level, most of it, in general, and that's higher than other parts of miami and it's not necessarily in a flood plain. so, i do believe that there are investors that will invest. you know, it will influence their investment decisions to come to a place like little haiti. every major urban area across the globe is experiencing gentrification — and miami is experiencing it more than other places, not only little haiti, and notjust because of climate. you have rapid inflation that's double the national average, a huge influx of high net worth individuals. and so, i don't think that little haiti is unique to displacement or gentrification or any of it, and i don't think any of it is intentional. # money, money, money, money — money! # money, money, money...# it's money. they monopolise on a lot of us, and we got displaced. we get pushed out, we're gentrified, thus you have climate gentrification. buy cheap, sell high. if we don't tell our stories, if we don't expose it, they'lljust build on top of it. it'll be a concrete city. people are beginning to wake up now. there's a nine. 21. the subject is resilience. it's positive that i'm learning now to take care of the land and watch policies. having a place to live or having a place for your children to play that's safe is motivation enough for me. this is mayor daniella levine. when i actually started in activism, i learned a lot. climate gentrification is real. it was coined first here and some of those lands are a little higher and they have traditionally been for lower—income people and now, the land is very valuable. so, we have to work super, super hard to make sure that we can house our people as well as build a more resilient future. "it has been inequitable and upside down," is our response in the african american and inner city community to the issue of climate change. i'm planning to run for office as commissioner, because that's where policy is made but not where policy is enforced. like i said, i'm resilient. i'm empowered. yeah, as long as i got empowerment, resilience and a voice, yeah. i live here. if you know about black history, when was the last time black people have not been displaced in america? yeah! thank you so much! and if you want, you can take the other ones inside... to those people who is investing in our community, we say that we are here, so do not leave us out. we're here to build, we're here to be resilient, and out of the ashes of little haiti rises ti ayiti and bonsoir, bonjour. my name is zandile ndhlovu. i'm 35 years old, based in cape town, south africa. i became south africa's first black female freediving instructor. i'm also known as the black mermaid. i grew up in soweto, a landlocked area nowhere near the ocean. when we were growing up, there was no idea of a world that existed past our — our immediate. the challenge of connection to the ocean, particularly in black communities, is the internal story that you grow up with. so, when i was growing up, every single time there was a drowning, whether by a river close to my grandmother's or later on out at sea, it would be said that a snake took the child. and so, you grow up with this, "stay away from all big bodies "of water," and it causes a fear inside your body. and then, externally, as you grow up, there's this narrative of how, you know, "oh, but black people don't "swim." this narrative lives around us but very quickly, it becomes internalised, and thatjust builds on the fear. the first time i saw the ocean, i was about 12 years old. and then, in 2016, i go on this snorkel trip. as we went on to jump into the water, i started freaking out. "i'm drowning, i'm drowning!" it is messy. in the moments that follow is a self—to—self. "calm down." and as i look beneath the surface of the water, the vast and overwhelming of the blues, and there were these yellow fish that were moving just below and, most incredibly, was just seeing the floor of the ocean and it felt like there was this light beneath it. and those were the sun rays on the coral reef. it was the most beautiful thing i'd ever seen in my life. i fell in love. cackles. you know, when we were growing up, to braid your hair is generally the easiest way to keep it protected. when i started diving, i was always the only black person on the boat as a guest. whether it's language, whether it's your wetsuit not fitting, whether it's someone asking, "are you going to dive "with all of that hair?" and you're just like, "what does it mean to remind me that i'm the outsider?" my friends would also say, "why do you do white people things?" boom! and then, we're ready to go diving. chuckles. the ocean for me is such a hard place because it holds so much history around black bodies. there were all of these challenges, these racial tensions, because in south africa, people were jailed for being at the wrong beaches, never mind being dispossessed of their ocean—facing homes. there's the physical history that creates a disassociation as to who belongs in the water and who doesn't. when i qualified as a freediving instructor in 2020, i knew one thing — i did not want to work in a dive shop, continuing the norm. i wanted to use the certificate to be able to bring change in my community. i was born here in langa, i stay here in langa, i studied here in langa, i work here in langa, so i'm a langanian. kwalanga's turning 100 this year. kwalanga being the first black township recognised and all that stuff. so, for me being kwalanga is an honour. kwa langa is overpopulated. there are no safe spaces. there are no spaces for children to play. there are no recreational facilities, kwalanga. you can't even find a conference centre kwalanga. 0h... so, we work through the langa community advice centre and they bring us the kids and we go out on our ocean excursions. maybe. no. every single time i'm in the water with one of the youngest ones, i always see little zandy. there's this fear when we go out into the water. there's shaking hands holding on to the buoy and somewhere along the way you hear, "it's a starfish!" no—one wants to get out the water. all i need is curiosity. the girls are done. the ocean hub for me is a safe space for the kids to dream. i feel like that's an important way to expand worlds that can feel very tiny and very suffocating. to go and see the container. yeah. and then, do some graffiti. 0k. cos i first thought we could get, like, an artist to paint the outside and then, the kids can do the hands... i try my best to make sure that the programme gets grounded kwa langa. ..for the container, and we're trying to work at, like, getting a good spot for it. exactly. there's your container. there it is! oh, it's so good to see it! there's our baby girl. but look at this face. look how massive it is. what kind of whale is this? it's a humpback whale. the idea that we need to protect and save our oceans cannot be done by a minimal part of the population. that's been a very difficult world in trying to communicate climate change problems, rising ocean levels. it's hard to have that discussion when it feels like this wide ocean has always been advocated by white people. so, for me, it says we need all hands on deck to ensure that these little ones that are growing up become ocean guardians in their own right, they are able to advocate for the protection of our ocean. and i think it starts by creating space for access, allowing that natural connection, because in that connection is a level of ownership, and in that ownership is ultimately protection. hey, this is zof with the catch—up. tonight: 0scar pistorius set to be released. reading and leeds festival reveals all. and a rare rhino birth. first, our stop story: the red cross says 2a people who were held hostage by hamas in gaza have been released and fighting has been paused. they've arrested in israel for hospital check—ups before being reunited with their families in exchange for the release of the israeli hostages. 39 palestinian detainees are freed. huge crowds have turned out in the west bank to welcome the women and children. some other stories now. former paralympic champion 0scar pistorius is going to be freed from jail on parole — that's nearly 11 years after he murdered his girlfriend, reeva steenkamp. he shot her multiple times through a bathroom door in 2013, later saying that he mistook herfor a burglar. he is set to be released in january. and you may have noticed the streets were extra chaotic today because of black friday deals. this tradition started in the us but now, the uk participate in the yearly event, too. time for christmas shopping, then! and it's a big week for reading and leeds festival fans as they've announced fred again, lana del rey and catfish and the bottlemen as headliners for next year's festival. it will be the only time lana and fred again will play uk festivals in 202a. and now for ten seconds of rhino cuteness at chester zoo as they celebrate the birth of the eastern black rhino. this is one of the world's rarest mammals. this is so adorable! i cannot cope! please, where can i get a pet baby rhino? you're all caught up now. see you later. hello again. many of you will have had a dry day of weather on friday with plenty of sunshine around. blue skies like these pretty commonplace across the country. however, it certainly was quite chilly, wasn't it? temperatures on thursday reached 15 degrees — well above average. but compared with that for some, temperatures were seven degrees lower on friday and actually quite a bit below average for the time of year. now, what followed from that sunny day is these clear skies which took us into the first part of the night. temperatures have been dropping like a stone and already are well below freezing in many areas underneath these clear skies. the exception to that really cold theme is across northern and eastern scotland and the eastern side of england, where there's a bit of a breeze around and that mightjust keep the frost at bay. however, i think in the very coldest areas in the countryside, we could see temperatures as low as minus six. that's potentially even the case across our very coldest areas of southern england. so, a freezing cold start to the day on saturday but your weekend getting off to a sunny start as well and for most, that's the way the weather's going to stay all day — just blue skies and sunshine overhead with barely a cloud in the sky. the exceptions — again northern and eastern scotland, down the eastern side of england. there'lljust be a few showers which occasionally could graze some of our coastal areas but otherwise, it's dry and it's cold with temperatures typically between about five and seven degrees celsius. we are going to see some change in the weather picture as we head, though, into the second part of the weekend as this area of low pressure moves in off the atlantic. a cold and frosty start to the day. and as this cloud comes over the top of that really cold air near the surface, it's going to be one of those days where temperatures are very slow to rise and actually, most of the day it will stay really, really cold. for scotland and a good part of eastern england, should stay dry with sunshine for most of the day but out west, you'll see some thicker cloud working in. a bit of damp weather for northern ireland, wales and western england and eventually, you might see temperatures climb to about 9—11 degrees — but really late in the day. the area of low pressure, then, pushes eastwards sunday night, bringing some rain. that clears off into the continent. as it does so, it will shove back our way some cold air that originates from europe and scandinavia. so, next week, it stays very cold. into that cold air, occasionally, there'll be some weather systems, probably mostly bringing outbreaks of rain, but i can't completely rule out a few flakes of snow as well. live from washington. this is bbc news. 2a hostages released by hamas have now returned to israel, including four children and an 85—year—old woman. meanwhile, more aid is making its way into gaza, with 137 trucks entering with medical supplies, fuel and food. plus the former minneapolis police officer who was convicted of murdering george floyd has been stabbed by another inmate in prison, according to a report. hello. i am caitriona perry. you are very welcome. it's a significant moment in the nearly—two—month—long israel—gaza war as a temporary four—day humanitarian ceasefire to release hostages has begun. eight of the 2a hostages have arrived at israel's schneider children's medical center. they are expected to be reunited with their families after they undergo a medical and emotional assessment. earlier, israel said the hostages released by hamas in gaza are all in good health following initial checks at an israeli airbase. let's recap some of what's happened in the last 2a hours. in exchange for the hostages�* freedom, 39 palestinian prisoners have also been released. the detainees — 2a women and 15 teenage boys — were freed from israeli jails to the west bank. 10 thai hostages and one filipino have also been released from gaza in a separate agreement mediated by qatar and egypt — they're being taken to a medical centre south
