1st we go to the u. S. Where coal miners are suffering from a devastating disease their appeals the support of falling on deaf ears. When the cold minerals all metals for many a we humans have insisted on dredging our planets resources the Global Mining industry earns around 615000000000. 00 euros each year nearly the equivalent of the g. D. P. Of switzerland the worlds 20th largest economy yet few jobs there is dangerous as mining. Around 12000. 00 miners worldwide lose their lives every year and those are just the official figures. What would that number be if illegal mines were taken into account mine workers often breathe in toxic particles or poisonous gases many suffer damage to their. In the eastern part of the u. S. State of Kentucky Coal mining has long been a mainstay and here too it has a terrible impact on peoples house. Its about 10 meters from a car to the house but for danny the short distance is torture. Even a few steps leave him short of breath. For almost 20 years he worked in the coal mines of kentucky breaking up rock underground and breathing in coal dust. In dust mask barely protected him at some point his lungs will fail completely his daughter molly knows that that will be the end of him. I just know if i would just get. Down he says he felt he had no choice if he hadnt agreed to work under those conditions he would have been out of a job. Right now his lungs are functioning at less than 50 percent. From 43 to 43 if i had to even go get the phone you know we didnt have you know hours though its only a few steps away but you know we can feel like. Danny has been diagnosed with black lung disease at 45 hes no longer able to work with his income gone his family is close to financial ruin its a fate shared by files of people in the area. In eastern Kentucky Coal mining has long been a mainstay of the economy in the past especially it was difficult to find any other work one former miner jimmy moore tells us most of the Coal Companies cut corners when it comes to installing ventilation he says they ignore regulations governing the levels of coal dust in mines he too has black lung. Ears if there were no milk of their car. And no is the big. We can blow smoke. Goes into learns and ive heard my. Condition. Its not safe im not going to work there there are somebody out there that want that guy. Around a 3rd of all miners in kentucky will eventually be diagnosed with black lung in the past no one knew the exact numbers until brandon crumb started collecting the data in his clinic alone the radiologist has registered several 1000 cases since 2014 he says its an epidemic to which authorities have turned a blind eye for years. So this is actually a normal x. Ray here and you can see that here is the ribs and dark in between is the. Stage 3 is the worst sample perfusion yes this is where the long its been replaced by a significant issue with him for information associated with a black lung disease. Unfortunately we are seeing all this disease in very young individuals in their thirtys fortys but there seems to be some trends which including longer work hours you are seeing more cases of progressive massive fibrosis or complicated disease than we ever have been in and states dr krumm sounded the alarm and kentucky reacted but not as expected a new state law says radiologists may no longer diagnose black lung disease now only poll monologist are allowed to assess diagnostic x. Rays and there are only a handful of lung specialist in the whole state is furious. Political you know probably father too much black lung disease on their state workers comp claims and they wanted me to stop. The new law is likely to reduce the number of patients who receive a diagnosis and it will make it harder for them to get compensation on insurance claims all the federal benefits they would be entitled to. Adams husband died of black lung 5 years ago the diagnosis was never in doubt but their Insurance Company is refusing to pay their claim playing for time before the courts and he said its not by. Hey you know tommy is that no matter what you do dont give up michael but thats what he wanted done because he had all this other evidence and without all this other evidence. And then that autopsy report came back and i said the doctor looked at it and they start it was crazy this. Here this guy that used to live in this next. He has. This girl rather. Her day i was 52 years old and he. And her grandfather also. Miners families are fighting on multiple fronts against an incurable disease and intransigent Insurance Companies and now many here feel the government has abandoned them to. A federal fund that was set up over 40 years ago to provide benefits for miners suffering from black lung disease has seen its budget slashed. Thats because the fund is financed through a tax paid by the Coal Companies last year President Trump that tax. 2016 voters in this region came out to vote for trump in droves because he promised to create new jobs and to make the coal industry great again the only way to bring back was to give the Coal Companies a good enough reason they could come in and make money at it but theyre making money. For young people theyre going to have. And its just not rot. People feel betrayed by the coal mines the Insurance Companies the state and federal government. And all the while the epidemic continues. If youre sick especially if youre old you need someone to care for you in many affluent countries care homes are increasingly filling that role but these need to be staffed germany alone has a shortage of nearly 400000 care workers low pay puts many young people off now the problem has reached china and there the long running 1. 00 child policy shares in the blame. When you are missed preparing her lunch the 67 year old has lived alone in her beijing apartment since her husband died earlier this year our only child has also passed away. Daughter lost her life in a car accident 15 years ago i dont know what her home i feel so helpless and the communist party used to say that each family was only allowed one child. And that the state would take care of us when we got old. And out and now that we are old theyre just not keeping their promise that. She doesnt want to think about what will happen in a few years when she can no longer take care of herself many aging chinese face an uncertain future. More than 240000000 people aged over 60 live in the republic of china some projections say that by 2051 in 3 chinese will be old aged. The reason goes back to chinas one child policy which stood for over 30 years this led to a disproportionately aging population the law changed in 2016 to allow 2 children per couple. Chinese tradition requires children to take in the aging parents and care for them and their own homes but thats becoming less feasible. Maoism a privately run care home in the city of tianjin its a 1st class facility with one camera for every patient. The top floor posts an artificial garden. And residents can dance with the manager herself but this all comes at a high price as much as 3000. 00 euros a month for most chinese pensioners this sum is astronomically high there are hardly any old peoples care facilities in china and the few that exist have trouble finding qualified personnel. As geriatric care market is developing at a rapid pace but still has huge deficits we need more professional caregivers quickly but the training takes a long time the gap is very large. Even though the chinese could benefit from using Retirement Homes theyre reluctant to do so. Many prefer the traditional system of home care for the elderly. Parents wanted to put my grandparents in a home but they decided against it they might have wonderful Living Conditions and good care is providing my grandparents with spiritual support at home is more important. If im healthy or live at home later on well see whether or not my daughters too busy well cross that bridge when we come to it right now im only 61. Homes dont do enough for the physical and spiritual wellbeing of the people who live there i wouldnt live in an old peoples home with you so much. And has alzheimers but hasnt had to move into a cafe a celebrity because she lives with her husband and receives care at home. Her family has enough money to afford a carer i young shoe used to work in a care home where she was paid per patient but how wages are higher and she has more time to take care of one her job. I like my work a lot and im very patient i know what your money if one her child doesnt want to eat anything i just wait but sooner or later shell eat again its my job to take good care of her because all she can do is lie in bed. As the population ages the number of people dependent on care increases no one knows who will take care of patients with high needs in the future experts estimate up to 10000000 extra care of us will be needed to meet demand in the coming yes. I dont think china is ready for the number of elderly people is rising rapidly. So the care system cant be expanded quickly enough to keep up. The only thing we can do is learn from countries with good care systems to reach young for example the u. S. And japan. Thats what the government is trying to do there reforming nursing Care Insurance and opening up the market for caregiving to attract International Investors but long term plans do not exist. The state Pension System is also struggling projections from the Chinese Academy of social sciences a bleak in just 15 years the state pension fund could dry up pensions are barely enough to survive on when joanne receives 500 euros a month shes still paying off the bills from the cost of caring for her now deceased husband other chinese seniors rely on receiving care from their only child but 1. 00 has to take care of herself. Mozambique in march of this year its almost impossible to tell where the ocean ends and land begins cyclometer i left entire regions under water more than 1000. 00 people lost their lives the country is still suffering the effects. Are a quarter traveled there with his team 5 months after the event for our global ideas series. He visited the inland National Park a wetland region thats helping the coast recover from the storm. The town of lyons at the mouth of the plume way river when cycling a diet all through here in march floodwaters from the entire region flowed into the river the poor way 1st it finds flooding the surrounding countryside houses were washed away including that of farmer philippe whose entire harvest was wiped out to. The cycling came ive been making Good Progress but when it hit it literally threw me back to square one im not starting from the bottom again point 0. Point. Things would have been even worse if it werent for the gordon goes on National Park this unique wetland landscape lies 140 kilometers up river like a sponge the vegetation and the network of streams and rivers there absorbed huge amounts of water dumped by the cycling. Mark style means the chief ecologist at the park checks the water levels regularly he says even today 5 months after the site clone the floodwaters are still draining out of the landscape and into the pool a river. In fact landscapes can play a tremendously positive buffeting effect very generally kind of attenuate the extremes of weather extremes of winter good streams of water and thats why we need those those big landscapes they also serve as at its of war. Or horse thing by a diversity theyre hosting systems that are effective for their functioning but this natural paradise is under threat on nearby mt goran goes the residents have cleared huge swathes of forest for farmland forests have a key regulator a function absorbing and releasing water it was clear that if the deforestation continued many of the springs that sustain the wetlands would disappear. So 6 years ago the Park Administration came up with an idea instead of subsistence farming residents could help restore the forest by planting coffee along with hardwood trees to provide shade for the crops to thrive project manager. Shows us a plantation with 250000 young coffee plants and hardwood saplings. That. There were almost no trees left here at all the whole place was totally exposed to the sun and now with the coffee in the trees we have 2 layers of shade on the farm. Going goes a coffee is already a Success Story more than 400. 00 farmers are now growing the new crop thats nearly half the families in the region the Park Administration buys up the harvest at a guaranteed price those who are looking for an additional income can help with the processing of the beans the project is succeeding despite difficult conditions mozambiques civil war officially ended in 1992 but there have been flare ups at times between Government Troops and rebel forces. We had some. 2015 and had to stop work because of the conflict but now everythings quieter and we can get on with our work. Were seeing that it is possible to produce coffee on mt. The community has embraced the idea that producing coffee replanting trees taking care of the forest and helping the environment. And the coffee beans are taken to the town of core and goes for roasting and packing while with their local men drops in to visit the center hes hopeful that the coffee will not only protect the environment but also help to promote reconciliation. Fighters loyal to the rebel group or namo the long hold up in the hills and force some farmers to join their ranks as a result there are towns people who are wary of the farmers africa fire from this project is a good thing it creates ties between mccarthy grows on the mountain and the Processing Plant here in town like you know were not affected by any conflict because the coffee farmers havent been involved in the fighting this project improves relations between people in town and people up in the hills people say sunshine of you are much of it i guess since the start of the project farmers have planted more than a 140 hectors of coffee and 50000. 00 hardwood trees all the trees are native to mozambique the plan is to add another 150. 00 hectors next year if deforestation can be halted or reversed the wetlands of corn goes a National Park will be preserved forests protect the park which in turn helps to protect People Living in coastal areas as Climate Change continues well functioning ecosystems will become more important than ever. Philippe has experienced many cyclings before but hes noticed a change in recent days. Seems to be getting worse year by one. Cycle floods we had last year reached the porch of my house. This year reached my windows things are getting worse. But philippe has no plans to give up hes building a new house where his old one once stood will replace the mud walls with stones once he has the money maybe nature will spare him next time if not hes hoping the National Park will protect him from the worst. And now from South East Africa to Central America guatemala has long been in broiled in a kind of civil war between enemy drug gangs the country has one of the highest murder rates in the world often even the police appear helpless to do anything. But what about ordinary citizens many hope to leave dreaming of a future in the u. S. Or europe others up to stay determined to lead a decent life amidst the violence.

Its not so easy to be a good person here poverty can lead to crime and violence. There are areas on the outskirts of Guatemala City where not even the police like to go. On however will not be deterred. You wouldnt want to be here after 5 pm its too dangerous thats when the gangs come out and get down to business. And her team of volunteers talk to people in fight them to take part in activities such as soccer shes courageous people get killed around here all the time. About 10 homicides are committed in guatemala every day. We meet some kids its only afternoon but theyre already high. And we encounter a gang member who tells us what happens when people are out of their heads. You want money to get high. You dont care if its somebody who works hard or if theyre poor you just want to hold a knife to their throat and take their money. The gangs have lookouts monitoring their territory. Another gangster boasts about his extortion racket. If they dont want to pay we shoot them i say you dont want to pay ok fine i turn and leave and the others attack you. And thats that. The neighborhood is also full of trash. As team up planning a cleanup campaign. It looks as if only private initiatives want to help.
