Drought in the home of africa means ever more people that are facing extreme hunger and dangerous friendship. Why Vladimir Putin has a growing fan base in indonesia. For the past 6 months, ukraine has been defending a more than 2000 kilometer long front against russias invasion, which contravenes international law. Millions of people are on the run. Thousands of soldiers on both sides have been killed or injured. Many towns and villages lying ruins. But rushes pans go far beyond ukraine. It wants to weaken the west and is seeking allies around the world to do so. Russian mercenaries active in molly, for example, threatened to jeopardize the un mission there and stabilized the entire saw hell region was potentially grave consequences for western europe and elsewhere to this admiration. For the supposing strong man in the kremlin, Vladimir Putin there on my way to russian class walking as taxi drivers, Real Estate Agents and tourist guides on the island of bali that used to during business with russian tourists. Some bully, another listener has to be able to speak russian on barley brothers, most of us work in tourism. And since lots of russians started coming here, its important to speak russian. Luckily, as opposed to Many Russians are settling permanently on barley, 30 year old dita is married to a russian like that. Shes visited moscow twice. She likes russia and putin above all, just like her friend triana. Ah, with matthew he harris my tech and he has beautiful eyes. Look, i see the glass and let his po, i think hes a good person to feel over. It takes a strong man like him to lead such a big country woman. Yeah, lou, who did i love po john, hes clever and yes, very strong. Only he thought that russia and indonesia have had close relations for decades. Front, russia supported indonesian independence back in the 1950s. Rinaldo to r. Kelly explains, he teaches russian studies at indonesia biggest state university. Neither he or the cap and one, at least this of this close relationship and, and indonesia and russia have developed partnerships and many sectors and fields gather my. Now in particular from the year 2000 onwards, the dk from education technology, that rate on the economy to fighting terrorism and bike applied their contract, thatll re sma russia has even managed to cultivate and islam friendly image. Amongst other things, by investing and cultural centers, state managed media and stipends thats important in indonesia, which has the Worlds Largest muslim population. Now by their mosacco, me being, im under puritans leadership, islam islam has become a part of russia and that he banga rushes, national identity, no also encompasses islam, blah, blah blah. The reverse is true for the image of the u. S. Booty man. So jeff mico from the countries ruling party stresses the wars against muslim majority states, like afghanistan, iraq and libya have been stirring up antipathy towards u. S. Foreign policy for years. And many indonesians see the u. S. As a super power out for global domination. And to crush other cultures. When you got this are frank will say, okay, as far as the war between russia and ukraine was concerned, russia is seen as the only country that has the courage to oppose western expansion plans. Did i overhear conversations in small stores or taxis like where people say the west seems to want ukraine, and that is perceived as a clear threat to russia . Youre probably the was yeah. Yeah. You are my law. Officially, the indonesian government is neutral. President , yoko widow has presented himself as an unbiased mediator. He recently visited keith on the destruction in surrounding neighborhoods, but then travelled on to moscow. The diapers, our response is proportionate. Thats why were against sanctions. We shouldnt isolate the country, the impact on energy and Food Supplies could be enormous one on but we dont want to pour gasoline onto a burning fire at the Language School on bali. Theyre not quite as neutral as that president. There are lots of anti western and pro russian video circulating on the internet when they all know is putins address at the victory day parade, to mark the defeat of nazi germany. Ah, earlier fiorenza, when i see that video, i sense patriotism, strong leadership heroism, any country that was ever attacked or colonized now these like we indonesians where well also be able to sympathize with in laneesa these language students at my a pearsons military strength and indonesia, russian propaganda is falling on fertile soil. Ah, the you estimates that this year europe has seen the worst drought for 500 years. Almost half the continent has been affected. The economic consequences, a huge, but the situation is not life threatening for people that its a different story in east, in africa. A little rainfall. Drought in the horn of africa has left full point. 7000000 children, undefined in ethiopia, suffering from acute malnutrition. 1. 5000000 in somalia and around 950000 in kenya across the region. More than 6000000 livestock have died or have had to be snorted. Over 25000. 00 sheep, goats and cattle are being slaughtered by the canyon government and the meat distributed to family. Suffering from extreme malnutrition. In africa, animals are usually slaughtered to mark celebrations and signal prosperity. The meat is typically cooked for guests and friends are at weddings. But in some bureau, in the north of the country, it has become a sign of desperation. One quote has been shipped by full households on the one coast by then also. So it will help in terms of also uploading them to us as i mean, so by to live operations, auto emissions were dead on point. The drought is not just the problem here, but throughout east africa it hasnt rained properly for more than a year. Nothing grows here any more. People and animals are suffering from water shortages. So kenya has decided to slaughter any animals that are already weak, would gladly l unless i am 30 cows and are all emaciated because of the drought. Lets get out if it doesnt rain soon, it will be a huge loss for me. I was so ive come had to sell my house, mostly women and children sit by a tree and enjoy my they would get. They have walked for hours in the heat. In the hopes of getting help for their malnourished children other than what live . I might have that one. I took my child to hospital for treatment and was told at white to little. Then im going to a patrick doc is a nurse at their nearby ye lie health center. He tries to help where he can, but the use of drought, the heat and the long distances make it difficult. Most families only have mays flour mixed with water to eat. So they see what the most of the times. So was or then say dont get these other fruits because here and on to places very dry. So we dont athlete it here both. We dont really know the fruit, so w e and that eat on that. Okay, so they are slaughtering cattle. This provides income for farmers food for the people and fewer animals to fight over what little water is available. But it also has a negative impact on their livelihoods. Its a temporary solution for an ongoing problem, though, is something that is that if it, it, because he, the slicing oil. So for, for to day or to that, the v defending that did you have obviously the evidence that someone is going to sell and others when do they meet . So at least their household food would be at least assisted in memory. Parched earth as far as the i can see, the people in eastern kenyas china river region have not seen heavy rainfall for months with the majority of people here are cattle herders. They live from their animals. And so they walk hundreds of kilometers in search of water and look up on a mosquito or hertz didnt manage to acclimatize when we came here while romfolo quintinella of holy, their health deteriorated massively far for koya either. Why do you peppa . We are suffering and i because the drought ah, most of the animals have died. My night there now or coming here in ms. India at a medical facility. Each day the women of the china river walk to a small water basin to fill their plastic containers. But they can see the water levels getting lower and lower here to the united since World Food Program fears there could be a humanitarian catastrophe. Currently, over 15000000 people of it impacted my require food assistance, the loan of africa. And if the rains continue to fail, as we are witnessing is particular over 20000000. 00 people will be impacted on whether dwelt underwood, quail, food assistance. The drought is hitting the youngest, particularly hard. Unicef estimates that some 8000000000 children between the ages of 5 and 15 are at risk of starvation. They dont have the strength left in their emaciated bodies to even make it to the nearest 8 point. Higher food prices also mean smaller deliveries from the aid organizations. Weve seen the cost of energy go up with the recent India International situation and even coastal production of food you something about the days of medical sun. But this will also go up. Heavy rain is with the people in the horn of africa are hoping for, but it doesnt look likely, at least for the next few months that could dramatically worse and the situation across east africa was janes cars trains that whole very noisy in the you alone. More than a 100000000 people are exposed to high levels of Noise Pollution in their daily lives. And its not only people who suffer animals due to particularly marine life. The propellers of the more than 62000. 00 congo ships on our seas create an enormous amount of noise which can be heard for kilometers around. And there are many other sources of ocean Noise Pollution to the dim drives fish from that feeding and breeding areas. And in the worst cases it can even kill them. 2 2 2 lou, the ocean is a symphony of sounds, at least where they can still be heard. We humans have made the sea noisier than ever before. And the way things are going, the underwater world is set to become one thing. Even louder with devastating effects on marine life o king tis creditor, lloyd, and sent him down, violent, serv, hulu, finding reduction the whole day. Lets explore some smart ways of turning down the volume in the ocean and find out why this might also be good for the climate o. Underwater sound waves travelled extremely fast and up to thousands of kilometers. Sound is essential for almost all marine animals from wales to jelly, fish, animals you sound to communicate, to navigate and define mating partners or pray. But hearing what those creatures need to hear is getting increasingly difficult. Summary, life is currently exposed to noise levels that can destroy their sense of hearing, literally render them deaf or kill them. Its like you log me around and applaud, thats a pretty serious effect to for animals that depend on sound so much. So why are the oceans becoming so noisy . One factor is offshore wind farms, and when energy is generally a good thing. But installing offshore turbines creates a great deal of noise in the north sea. It damage the hearing of porpoises driving them away from their feeding and breeding grounds. So then agents are most likely exceed pilots and they have to drive into the steep it by hammering or impact paul driving. And this course on the water noise which is smallest, comparable as in starting aircraft. The sounds emitted by the pile structural elements smashing into the sea floor travel several kilometers from the source. But help is on the way compressed air flowing through tubes on the ocean floor round the piles creates bubbles that rise to the surface, forming a tight insulation curtain. Fewer sound waves managed to penetrate the barrier leading to a 90 percent reduction in volume. This is how things sound without an air bubble curtain and this is with an air bubble curtain. Challenging issues that if to, to lift with the offshore conditions, wind, waves, weather conditions, currents and so on. But thanks to tighter regulations, the curtains are now almost standard for construction of germanys north sea coast. An interest is also picking up in the us, the netherlands, and taiwan. Implementing bubble curtains cost just one percent or less of the total investment for an offshore wind farm. The music loud were going in. So Wind Turbines are one thing, but theres a bigger problem. Container Ships International shipping is by far the main source of Noise Pollution in our oceans. The culprit and the potential solution is the ships propeller. Domestic Pressure Cooker is worked by controlling the steam pressure inside them, pushing up the temperature at which water boils. The resulting higher heat means faster cooking. I ships, propeller the opposite happens, not with food, but with water and effect called cavitation. So it, due to the fast motion of that propeller through the water. Locally, the pressure is extremely low. So that ambient temperature, the water boils and creates the am bubbles, creates a vapor bubbles. And these bubbles grow. And these bubbles shrink and collapse. This generates noise levels comparable to a rock concert on dry land. The solution has the potential to be good news for the climate. And the Profit Margins of big shipping companies. Essentially, fewer bubbles can mean lower fuel consumption. In 2017 denmark based mask retrofitted, the propellers and engines of 5 vessels, primarily to say fuel. But their sound emissions also dropped by 75 percent. This add on device improves of vessels flow in the water, which according to its maker means less cavitation and fuel savings of up to 8 percent. But installation isnt cheap. And shipping, firms are rarely obliged to make. The changes with cargo price is currently very high. They prefer to keep ships in operation rather than investing in a retrofit for many ships. That could be savings possible, especially due to the fact that each ship needs to go to drive dropping each say each a 4 to 5 years to incentivize ship operators. The port of vancouver has cut port charges for certified quieter vessels by as much as half but the loudest defenders are seismic air guns. The fossil fuel industry uses them to locate new oil and gas fields in the ocean. Their sound waves are as loud as the spacecraft and can be heard. Hundreds of kilometers from the source for days, sometimes even weeks or months. These tubes fire out compressed air every 10 seconds. With every blast, 2 thirds of all soul plankton larva, within a kilometer of the explosion, dropped dead. They insure the health of the ecosystem here while credibly wasteful. Theyre way too loud for what they need to do. Ironically, the fossil fuel industry is itself conducting research on more environmentally friendly methods for its surveys. One technique is called marine viber size, which generates the required signals by a vibration instead of an explosion. The result is more of a constant hum rather than a big sudden blast and air gun. So strong a buffet could rip your arm off, whereas a virus eyes on land, you can put an egg underneath and panic. Wrong. Great. Initial models suggest that the impact on marine life would be just 10 percent of that of an air gone. The likes of exxon mobil total energies and shell may have their eye on another advantage. However, marine viber size can also map oil and gas in shallow waters. But doesnt this sound paradoxical, more sustainable methods to find more fossil fuels . We really should not be, we just should not be surging, pearl and gas under the ocean anymore. We, you know, we really need to make this green transition. Thats the main solution. There are plenty of options for reducing marine Noise Pollution, but more progress is needed on the regulatory front. In 2011 germany introduced one of the worlds 1st noise limits in place to protect north sea marine life. Air bubble curtains are now standard. There in the industry is doing fine. Taiwan is introducing a similar regulation. Quieter is better for the environment, but without incentives or new laws. The industry has few reason to change. Hulu. When tropical storms move across el salvador, the country can be hit by up to 50 centimeters of rain per day. Thats more than in many european cities all year. Storms are becoming heavier and more common. Climate change is wreaking havoc with the country. Rising sea levels, drought, hurricane. A local Environmental Initiative is encouraging action in el salvador small changes for a big go, protecting the habitat, if those people and animals paradise. On the brink. For thousands of years, mangroves lined this pacific coastline. But rising sea levels have decimated vast swathes of them. Conservationists from the salvador and center for appropriate Technology Already see the grim reality of Climate Change. Yet there monday. That the governor vs mangrove stride up just last year. Over and over there were old mangrove forests. But look, now you only sham animals. All these mangroves behind me are over 30 meters tall because the city hasnt gotten this i yet, they will fair, but levels are rising. Thats what i got on yellow van. A lot of the people who lived here had to abandon their homes, like so many in el salvador, they had no choice but to flee rising sea levels. Realities such as these compelled ricardo, nevada, to fight Climate Change from a relatively young age. He founded festa, 40 years ago with people in the region he works to raise awareness of environmental issues. I came across and sent an order from you, maria, and were not just aiming to raise Awareness Among others, but also amongst ourselves, angela. We believe that says those project to reduce plastic usage and everything that causes pollution and rising temperatures are all important when it comes to reducing Climate Change for them in written okay. Eric honorably mod equal many wild animals species here are endangered. And now their habitats are being destroyed. Wcl mud, the got it all in my lodgings is a global problem, but its caused by the worlds richest people who consume far more Resources School and generate more greenhouse gases. I mean diesel mackwood it this way. The worlds elite owes poor people of a massive environmental debt forward, and its the poor people who suffer most from Climate Change in that element that, that the mom over this inequality is reflected in the lives of many women in these small communities around san salvador s
