Me. Journey this week on d. W, i the thunder benz mangrove forest in the far south of bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable regions in the world to climate change. Many residents live literally at the waters edge. When sea levels rise in a tropical storm, the dikes are breached and waves rush inland. Locals do their best to reinforce the defends this, but its a thankless never ending task. Mm hm. Every year in bangladesh, an average of 700000 people are displaced by natural disasters. Due to Global Warming, bangladesh is at risk of losing more than 10 percent of its territory to rising sea levels. By 2015, 3 of asians largest rivers drain into the thunder bands delta. This entire region in the south of the country is so low lying that it could become completely submerged. Its projected that by 2015, 26000000 bangladesh is will be displaced by tidal surges and rising sea levels. But the interior of the country is also at risk. Increasingly frequent storms, compounded by violent monsoons, caused gigantic floods that even impact the 21000000 inhabitants of the capitol, darker from the north to the south. If the Country Rivers repeatedly swell and burst their banks will allow gay banu although settled. I bought it from melissa to water. Rosen rose. It was like a torrent flowing through the house. The whole house got lost, gone though. I used to like a certain, its resulted in millions of climate refugees flocking to the capital in search of whatever work they can find. There was a billing i and 2 to 3 euros a day. Thats it. Some find work in clothing factories. Bangladesh has been called the worlds sewing factory. For 1000000 workers here produce jeans, t shirts and shoes worn by, people across the western world. But the manufacture of these cheap clothes comes at a price for the environment. Every day, tons of toxic waste water are dumped into the natural surroundings in the long run in order for those guns. Despite constituting a Public Health hazard, the industry is thriving and has been a major engine for economic gross in bangladesh. A new middle and upper class has a matched Swimming Pool. Is one of the most beautiful anywhere and goose shut it on. And many of them keen to invest in real estate. If the price is high packet, i dont know. The country is even on cost to be removed from the group, at least developed countries by 2024. And thanks to dedicated entrepreneurs, the 1st Model Companies are now already emerging. People working and green factories will not want to leave them because of the sound working conditions. Even Ship Breaking yards, notorious environmental pollutants are now going green. Everything that fall all the way to send for the governor engler dance. She is confronted with a myriad of problems but that also stories that inspire hope. Our investigation into the consequences of Global Warming in Bangladesh Begins in dhaka year after year between 5300000 people who have lost everything in the wake of natural disasters. Migrate to the capital in search of work. They arrived daily by the dozens at the port or the train station. To day, deka is one of the most congested and densely populated cities on the planet. Most climate refugees are housed in makeshift hotels located in the many slums of the mega sitting. All of them had to leave their homes with a minimum of belongings except one. Yeah. Love to go, but i left with this little bag. Just a few clothes that will and a warm blanket. If its all that i have, oh, yes, there. Yeah, i was on will our work among cabana lea is 65 years old and arrived a few weeks ago. This is his new home one room measuring about 40 square meters. Chad with 35 other people. His dramatic story reflects the experiences of many hear me, but im see my house collapse a dozen times, whatever, all due to erosion each time, then washed away by the river love. And each time i had to gather up some earth and straw to rebuild it, or what have i that what luckily i called ben i li, pays one your a 20 a day for food and lodging. I look at the conditions were living in here, 30 to 40 people sleeping in the same room. We lie on top of each other and its full of bed bugs. What, what, what can we do that . We have to make a living music with dorothy. He found what writing a cycle ritual, which he rents for one euro 20 per dang. I would love with a rich off of the lady. The climate refugee works over 12 hours a day for 3 months straight before returning to his family. Oh, how and thus to how i love, i just earn 10 cents, 10 cents for a ride from door reaper to the other end of the market. Oh god rather what i see. What it was that a month after paying for his accommodation and the ritual. Hes left with between 2 and 5 euros. His bendable income from about 30 rights a day. Quoted was if you ask for money, so rather its an incredibly demanding job carting people around like this is exhausting. You need a lot of energy. What is the word . Every 3 or 4 days call by me, sends the little money he manages to save up to his wife and his 2. 00 sons. You are still studying a, it was the what does it all do . I said to them, boys keep studying. No matter how hard things are as long as i live, ill provide for your studies. But finish your education, please press one. Now, well local possible i dont want it makes me sad that i cant finance their education as much as id like to. Theyre working on the very difficult conditions. I send them everything i can is to hold it over. There are now believe to be 6000000. 00 climate refugees, like holborn alley, in bangladesh. The ritual driver is from curry graham. Another region thats been hit hard by flooding. Curry graham is located far away from the sea in the north of the country. But here the devastation comes from china rivers, like the brown, like full tra, in the ganges or patman as its known in bangladesh. The melting of himalayan ice has caused the rivers to overflow and asked by a volume and velocity increases, the erosion of their banks has accelerated to alarming levels. Every year, thousands of houses are destroyed and entire villages disappear under the water. The island of carrier in the brown, my portray was hit taunt recently despite the sandbags deployed to protect it. The law says yvonne la zillow, a one of the flood was 2 months ago. The water rose really high and the currents carried everything away. Bags were put in place to protect us, but they didnt hold. And all the houses disappeared in one day that about english. Oh, yes. Most of the stores and businesses Still Standing on now closed and not much is left of the school that used to be attended by up to 900. 00 students. Escal dar, this will die. Youre not going wrong to long will like around 11, the buildings formed a semi circle. There was a fence at the entrance gate was over. Theyre gonna get lucky. The buildings formed a you shape with trees planted round it you. The school yard was over there with the classrooms positioned around it. Islam thought it was a garcia of the 14 classrooms. Only 2 are still in use. The succession of disasters has destroyed schools and businesses and also farmland, causing the poverty rate to saw families finding it increasingly difficult to feed and raise their children due to the financial burden. This has led to girls being married off at a very young age, while their husbands are even paid for taking them between 501000 euros. An existing social is to you, exacerbated by Global Warming, demos, fish, and mid a number of the pupils in this class of 9th graders are already married. Jasmine has just turned 15, not a bit that version of course either the school phase and my parents low income, you know, death. Yeah. Go. Yeah, thats what i found a husband for me, but he never did you know him . No he came to see me unexpectedly and we got married on the same day at dusk law. Her husband is a young farmer also from the island just mean didnt want to get married, but wasnt given a choice yet the dont have that i was married. So young, of course im sad, but whats the use of being sad because nothing i can do and this is what the most of these young women will soon have to leave school if their husband cant afford to pay for their education. I was there, id like to be a teacher, but my in laws might not want me to study version of our at the b officially child marriages like hers are prohibited. So they take place in secret nonetheless, one family who has just married off their daughter agreed to meet us. Sabina is 13 years old and is in 6th grade. Who sat on her husband is 20. You didnt have a choice. I actually wanted to study, grow up and start working before getting married in need of a vehicle. Oh love was you borrow a little bit ago. Did you run it . Shed been older. It would have been difficult to find her husband. So we were happy to her, found a good man for her. We wouldnt have done it otherwise. If we werent poor, we could pray for our daughters education. And shed be able to find a good job, but was simply to call. Sabrinas husband worked some distance away from the island. Hes agreed to let her stay with her parents for now and has promised to pay for her schooling. The teenagers mother doesnt work and her father, a farmer has lost his field. All the wooden others opposite on us to listen. The floods destroyed everything and drove up the price of rises, chefer, and used to call 7 euros. Now its double that the water is destroyed, our rice reordered. Am sabrinas father has realised that his daughter is unhappy and says he regrets his decision holder hello anna philip bardello. My daughter is still young, 13 years old. At 11 or 12, its even was fertile. Sure, its not good. Although having some girls are apparently married at the age of 9 research in bangladesh has shown that mothers under the age of 14 are 5 times like he had to die during childbirth. And those in the early twenties. These planned a stein and a legal child marriages are not registered or recognized anywhere. This was confirmed to us by the office of muslim marriages. Oh, i did something wrong and i did not register, child marriages. These marriages are organized secretly in the villages. We have no control over in moms who perform them. We work in the office. So i dont want to comment on this issue is, i know we said jamiracle, but believe about according to unicef, 1. 00 and 2. 00 women in bangladesh, al married before reaching their 18th birthday, the legal minimum age, half of them will be under the age of 15. While compounding is used that threaten the future of these young girls, the destructive care of water also poses a different and deadly danger to children. More than 14000. 00 children drowning bangladesh every year. Boy today 123 drowning is one of the leading causes of death among children in the country. One bug with hi, were now we moved to right. Im like this what were what im a bigger dialogue. So hack has been working as a swimming instructor for 5 years to america. That was great. A big chair please. Works for an, an geo that uses bamboo came to construct improvised pools in ponies. They so, but the law he yeah i, he made it like okay, hes learning fossil a round of applause. So hack is also worried about the dangerously high water levels. I did the lease when i read about tier garner its rising all the time on record. Theres always water in the lower lying regions. If they go to people theyre really suffering, want to go on and the children are not saying on each other young about them. They bought them, love it in there, and one, and he didnt feel the situation is now very complicated. And he, they wanted a little closer. Mm. Mm. Chaplain and up do live close to the pond where the swimming lessons are held. A few months ago that only daughter died from drowning with a low they fell in over there with the water high since our a water goes to the little. Ah, i ye shall, was 5 years old. Ah, her father had given her a little money to buy candy with his 7 year old cousin. He also died children and they went to the store to buy some sweets, and when she came back, they shared them before going off to play ben hill whenever i was reading the koran. When they were done eating, they went outside and i continued reading. I heard a noise close the koran and ran over. Thats when i saw my child. Oh, i ye shall. Is perry a few steps away from the pond . Abdul visits her grave regularly. Its right there. Boys in the rear. Im seen there going on above mother. Think of her a lot will think of her as long as we live. She was our beloved daughter and a very friendly child. Mother, michael dangler. He gave her amount of affection and love me and us. How shall i ablow shore . So hon. The last, last one of your saline a in a short space of time and a dash has become the most eluted country in the world. The Historic Center of deca has become an open and dumping ground where it garbage is sometimes dumped directly into the rivers. In ocoee, roy is an investigative journalist, specializing in environmental issues. I talked with very old people and they said theres forget, tricia, theres today. So it but now it is. If a big bobby, i think you in big in all ladies sick with in half an hour in penalties, eyes, fashion, consumers around the world are also responsible for this pollution. The boy from iraq, people from other developed countries like america and ill hibler from not near the allies on not but i would say theyre also contributing to already about pollution because in all the, all those one dip brought and new to the to blows and nothing a c. So if we want to blow them that there, so your bullet bring our he worked with 5000 factories, generating 30000000000 euros in annual revenue bangladesh as the worlds 2nd largest clothing manufacturer just behind china this afternoon. Pinokie heads out to the suburbs of deca. Hes heard about a new environmental scandal linked to the nether industry. The delish worry river is in danger, and data is already the or lydia toilet. Although the worst that did or did about legally did pinokie hopes his investigation will help save the re ah, in recent years, 185 countries have set up shop along its banks. 80 percent of the hides produced here are exported and supply the ready to wear footwear and Leather GoodsIndustries World wide. A waste water plant has been built here but has insufficient capacity and reportedly empties its tanks into the danish warry, including untreated sewage. Arriving at the scene, pinokie has immediate company. As the Security Guard trails him, the lead he received appears to be correct. This pipe leaps directly from the Waste Water Treatment Plant is supposed to retrieve it, but it is. What is it . I get my gun safe in my b, i is that this order is not too big. This is pure block water and it is a stinky. So it is polluting body were only a group of officials from the plan to peer and confront the journalists with both of them to the clinic and govern police person. The one with the manager tries to convince pinokie that these discharges are an exception to almost every year. We do a purification procedure. Thats whats going on right now. So its only once a year that you dump it like this is also that what is of yes, the journalist is not convinced i dont think theres through i gun see the color of the water like an esmerelda walker and i think it is full of it. According to his research, the effluent Treatment Plant has numerous flaws. Problem is sometimes dust is from here, their produce and all more liquid just than the capacity. So leading that time, this same value to be it doesnt work, sol, solved the worst. It has to go directly to that even another if pinokie discoveries is that the plant cannot process certain highly dangerous, heavy metals such as chromium which makes leather more tear resistance during production. Beasley be not design door in electric chromium. So it Buck Williams comes that it goes through that eva and it goes through the open enrollment. Then the chrome, yum will be in the fish. Then the blossoms high in the long run for the seminar diseases, but in the long run and i put this cancer when absorbed or inhaled chromium can cause cancer, they were spirit retract the nasal cavity, the kidneys, and the bladder. After several requests, a tannery finally agreed to open its doors to us. Its so stinking it up while the got of these hinds been here for a long time, or if they just arrived. This is our latest delivery in your site. We noticed that the workers are not wearing any protective gear. The war vet its football is forced to elizabeth warfield. We had a hand without an issue. So there, so, you know, and linda visited with highly foxy family though. So this is a home for vaudeville health. Obviously the manager of the tannery tries to play down the health hazard. I going to do the chemicals i use here, a lot dangerous moroni to a small extent because if i know my, i cant say we use non, isnt it . But its really not much of the problem. So we dont wear masks or protective clothing are brilliant minds. Another claim, the journalist isnt buying maybe there. So they were told that this guy goes, im not harmful. That theyre sorting that he believed. But i dont think so. And there are further surprises in store as pinokie roy leaves the tannery tractors, loaded with leather scraps, catch his attention. Theyre better than bring it here. Laura, im going to get 200 meters further on the report to witnesses, a frightening spectacle. What i have already thought of a ton of leather waist saturated in toxic chemicals being turned in me open just a few meters from the river. By a day sir, count you dispose of this summer l. O no, no one has no other place in reading. How long have you been doing this 2 months Mister Lombardi . Do not because theyre not supposed to dump it out in this way. So it was a basically a low land up sort of bond. So they have filled up that bond already. So now theyre dumping it. Yeah. So im worried that what will happen after 6 months or after 3 months . So maybe they will is fed dumping it down via the air full of toxic fumes is practically unreasonable. Already, im feeling some headache. You say what about the ecological consequences for the river . Ah, weve learned that fish are in scarce supply around the 10th reason. To confirm this, we go to a fishing village located down stream from the factories for the men here are fishermen. But the net has been dry for months. I cant fish any more, let the tannery so pouring toxic chemicals into the river. You cant catch anything any more, right . So my nets are hung up in storage at home. If you have been doe and his wife pray every day for an improvement in their fortunes, good shape. Why would it glory to you . My lord . When will you deliver us from our suffering and pain them to go to
