voice-over: this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines for you at the top of the hour, which is straight after this programme.

people within little haiti have started seeing signals for climate change gentrification. # money, money, money, money # money! # money, money, money... it's money. we get pushed out. we gentrify. the ocean, for me, is such a hard place because there were all of these challenges, these racial tensions, and thatjust builds on the fear. 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.

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. ..to maintain the fiscal balance required... - "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.

that's what we're here to do. 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'rejust 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 zandile. 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. hello there. we're in for a very stormy spell of weather for the second half of sunday into the first

part of monday, all thanks to storm isha. met office have a number of amber wind warnings in force for northern and western areas. heavy rain could lead to localised flooding along with snowmelt, as it will be turning very mild indeed. but we could be looking at some significant disruption from this storm as it continues to hurtle across the atlantic towards our shores later on sunday. but sunday starts off on a fine note for many, england and wales dry with some sunshine. same, too, for north east scotland. the winds will continue to pick up, though, through the day and rain across northern ireland will spread across the irish sea into much of scotland, northern and western england and wales, so it will be turning downhill as we head through the afternoon but very mild for the time of year — up to 13 degrees in many parts of england, wales, northern ireland. storm isha continues to plough through during sunday evening and overnight. a real squeeze in the isobars across western scotland, northern ireland but lots of isobars across the charts. amber warnings in force. gusts of 60—70 mph south west england, particularly irish sea coasts, much of wales, maybe up to 80mph north—west wales, 60—70 for northern england, maybe 80 mph in excess for northern ireland.

some very strong winds expected across scotland through the night — perhaps in excess of 85mph across western scotland — so these are damaging gusts and likely to cause some disruption. there'll be some heavier rain and showers rattling through as well and we'll also see amber warning for the southeast of england for strong winds. sussex and kent could see gusts in excess of 60 or 70 mph early on monday. a mild night to come across the south, taking a little bit fresher further north. into monday, storm isha continues to push across the norwegian sea. lots of isobars on the charts, so monday will be another windy day as well — not as windy as sunday night — and there'll be lots of showers rattling into northern and western areas. best of the sunshine towards the east. some wintriness over the higher ground of scotland and northern england. it won't feel particularly warm in the north if you factor in the wind but still double figures in the south. stays pretty unsettled for the upcoming week. tuesday, we see another spell of wet and windy weather and then, a ridge of high pressure for wednesday will bring some fine conditions. another spell of wet

and windy weather, perhaps, for thursday and friday. so, the weather really will be up and down through this week, interspersed with fine spells. generally staying on the mild side. stay tuned to the forecast, though, for the effects of storm isha.
