c, w, use your should have your is always, we appreciate your report. thank you're watching the w news. i'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news. i hope you can join us then the 1000000 people in what it's in just a 100 days. my parents and the big bunch of my family were killed. how was this age drive to? i'm on a journey to find out about the russo the 19 there to put you on the side produce the to see through. under my name is some way to shimmer. i'm afraid it makes sweet shaming history out documentary stuff. april 6th on dw, the flu. so you have the actual

boundary evening what it's called, a saw in diesel to could keep the patient the only thing global temperatures will increase the with physical suffering, right, for the big issue for those he was outside the visual need. but that laugh showed that it took latrice 12 instead of 2 sit does so the

extra clearly continued on duty down the hall and on the beneath the scorching sun, 2 peasants take a break while working a field. it's hard talking work the pest oral setting makes an obvious point. eat and work never did mix well the when been go painted this work in 1889. the world had already unconsciously started a new climate age the the age of unprecedented global warming. the most recent years have been the warmest that have ever been on record. the climate change is threatening the health of new the ends of workers who are directly exposed to the heat.

once more, it produces their productivity and brings into question the conventional model of growth to always produce more faster. the warming climate is reaching an insurmountable limit. the balance set by the human body. can we keep working as we always have in a harder world? and at what price the same on the other line, it's better to get your basic we're still kind of the summer saying no. okay. and

you know, to the top part of estimate it said on the corner page of the bottom of the what i'm thinking about getting this one was one of the was she didn't make. if i linked with be able to get before you got them. i don't see the q that's an old one. it's open only on one side and has no ac. i can see system that see if it is worse, a post on the media of what us, what is the to the driver said deep felt like it was 50 degrees in the cabin, then up to one sided out there's you know, but at that one, there imagine it's like a green house, and there it wasn't in there like a sauna, so i live in november to 98 percent oxygen saturation. part rate is $79.00. so in 2 experts are here as part of a joint project by the time in government and the non profit organization,

you know you, they're trying to safeguard against the effects of heat in the workplace culture. i'm taking a picture with the thermal camera. their job is to assess the health risks the heat poses for italian workers. is the website as measures your heart rate exhaustion? high precision, and sometimes i'm busy. sure. so she's mild though. yes. because of it's hard times of very hard to sort of miss bad weather is full cost. be storms right away on these. are you working with? this is on the super sufficient feeling. climate change a little bit more each year each year in italy, more than $4000.00 work accidents are attributed to excessive heat. anyone who works outdoors is the 1st to be exposed to the risks of longer and harder summer's the if you need to have that

on that besides you just don't want to get that over to an a fund any safety 1st you start switching. yeah. with the sweat too much get dehydrated and lose a mineral to be, that can cause prompt tiredness and confusion. and in the worst cases of your loss of consciousness, each stroke for, for the kind of one, you have to act fast to prevent a tragic situation. but i mean for the heat to enable into these workers or people to open up when he got his bishop. this man is suffering from heat stress. his heart needs to be faster to transport the heat, to the skin where it will be dissipated through sweat. the higher the humanity, the less west evaporates and the faster the heart beats to compensate as a natural reaction to the body attempts to reduce collectivity, to keep the heart rate stable. if that's at all possible minus

w wednesday and see that level that t vase that they won't display the people in the me, the speed that silver mine here was under severe physiological stress was weird including the hindered switching plaza chance was heart rate grew sharply to nearly a $140.00 piece per minute at quarter, and the guys are fighting repeatedly what i can, but the reason the heart is working so hard is because of thermal regulation. instead of trying to keep the bodies temperature around 37 degrees, i don't mean it rises cannot. it's like a car with a radiator. it overheat, such engine keeps getting hotter and hotter. and if you to a stop this point 38 on the top of my somebody sitting book on the sunset, simple rules, it forces the body to slow down what workers are just subject to the laws of nature. so remote articles and today's nature,

what does it stable? i started feeling ill in the sun and died on the roof of the hanger. did you come on? only a worker from romane now little man. oh, the cab was yesterday as a chest that was yesterday before a father of 4 children. that meant that it was likely a heart attack. should i miss you? see that being said, we need it yet. but yesterday was the time to act for too late today i'd be a little from now we've got to leave this awful news of a romanian who leaves behind a family of 4 children a level that's all it can. and just because he went to work and quiet little phoebe caused that bad repair quite in one table, but gets that one what i was just hard to imagine how such a thing could happen on the official complaint and just shooting mediating. and then i proceeded 10 workers in italy died from heat exposure in the summer of 2022. in france, 7 people died on the job,

also likely as a result of increasing temperatures. a year later, the summer of 2023 was once again the hardest summer recorded in the northern hemisphere. since the records began the basically the entire country seeing temperatures over 90. and if you take it a step further, over the coming days, more than 60000000 people across the country who experienced temperatures overall 100 degrees heat advisories, going up all over the place from texas throughout the south. and it's also starting to push into the east coast and into the northeast. the, the number of heat waves in the us has tripled in the last 60 years. heat stress

cost more than $1500.00 depths and the us some 2022 and a growing branch package delivery is seeing more and more cases the, the family of waco, p. s. worker who died on the job over the summer as file a wrongful death lawsuit against the company. on august 12th, jose cruz rodriguez was found dead at the u. p. s. facility on franklin avenue yesterday is mom and dad filed suit against dps and 2 supervisors. they say their son died of heat stroke. that's no pain that i wish upon nobody. you know, my son was young, he had a whole lot of again, i don't think he he to service jose cruz rodriguez died age 23 from hyperthermia after he complained of feeling unwell on his delivery

route. the driver's union, the teamsters say his sudden death is no isolated case that you p s. nationwide. the company is among those with the greatest number of pete related work accidents . this company, and this is the fact that just came out posted record 2nd quarter profits 8.5 percent over what they made last year during a pandemic. right. and they're projected for, for your backs, you brothers and sisters, to have revenue of over a $100000000.00 in 2022. that's great news because it's a solve and company. but here's the bad news. last week on thursday and friday, 4 of our members on long island, downtown manhattan had to go to emergency room because of the heat. today, people are going to say it's a nice day. yeah, it's a nice day. but,

but your package card are still going to be way over a 100 degrees. imagine if you would do. yeah. how does just put on the street at a 150 degrees, asphalt, or during a blizzard? and they told him, hey, work from there. and we're going to be watching you while you doing sky says brother's assistant, vinny parole and is the teamsters representative of the union is one of the most powerful groups supporting drivers in the us. so coming out it's struggling to have the management of us introduced measures to improve the safety of its drivers like putting air conditioning in the trucks. remember that these um new trucks that are coming in there. mounting on with dashboard cameras there install your other cameras with driver facing sensors, but they won't give us the bare minimum. they won't at least put fans in the trucks

. we're saying that we get people are dying because of the heat and then they have the money to of what kind of or how yeah, and the typical driver will make a 130 to 200 deliveries a day. okay. they are getting in and out of the truck. they're working 1112 hours a day that i experienced as myself you. you go to a location and you walk in covered in sweat, exhausted. luxury wise, you're going to say. and the 1st thing out of a customer's mouth is don't you guys have ac in the truck? no. oh my god. have a cup of water sit down. the heat is through the in the summer temperatures in the back of the vehicle regularly reach higher than 50 degree celsius. that's where the driver spent part of the day, sorting their packages. but u. p. s. delivery personnel are just exposed to extreme heat. they're expected to

work quickly to the they drive with their doors open to save time and every stop. every one of their movements is monitored by software on board the truck. then it's analyzed by managers for potential time losses. it feels like you have a gun to your head all day long. you're constantly being harassed about the gaps in between your time there. tell them attic system. they're sparks system. it tells them how long it should take you to do a stop that was stop. could be an envelope of documents or a can be 40 packages that weigh 50 pounds each to this warehouse here. but through the computer, that's all the same thing. it's a race with time that makes delivery personnel blind to their bodies signals. this

u. p. s. worker in arizona and was filmed by a customer security camera. he has all the symptoms of heat stroke. even if he wants, he doesn't forget to record his stop before he goes back to his vehicle the . and even though it was going on, i just, you know, just sweating to lie. think about it, you're out of your vehicle and all of a sudden things are foggy. you see and little, little stars. i'm thinking okay, well, by 1145, i gotta get that, that billing finished, and i gotta get to the next billing, but so yeah, you know, for me, i'm on a time schedule. i'm not thinking about, oh, what's going on for the share you though?

the, the let as thought i might was to be failures 6 years ago, jim clank nearly died at the wheel of his delivery truck. the former u. p. s. driver thinks the presence of mind of his wife, a nurse urged him to go to the emergency room. the, the final diagnosis was a key renal failure. and that goes on to explain about the q 2 dealer necrosis and the, the hydration was resolved. this is all pertaining to a, renal failure, the despite 15 years driving experience and the prevention advice of his employer, jim's body and its limits that day. the ability to hydrate, hydrate, hydro, and in your mind the whole time, you know, you're just thinking ok,

what didn't i do, right? that always make toys what than i do, right? and you know, bottom line as it comes down to the fact that, that you're not getting into main situations. you're in very intimate situations. you know, you know, human goes through life 10 hours a day in a 150 degree weather. the. this doesn't happen. less of the company made almost 5000000000 dollars last year. but they say it hasn't calculated the cost of air conditioning because i say it wouldn't be effective since approximately frequent stocks and the doors were open. now, some ask for say, there could be other solutions like allowing more time for breaks, for temperatures, rise to dangerous levels. and ask for jim quick, he told us he's considering retiring early, even though it's going to mean it covers we bought her right away. for

the 1st time, you can ship that in the comes through. the luckily jim's kidney failure did become chronic. the organs recovered. even though they are still damaged, an inability to cope with the heat, finally drove jim to give up his job. shocked by the behavior of this company is wife teresa started a petition to force us to install air conditioners and the trucks. through this, she discovered how desperate gps workers are all over the country. all right, so. okay. my fiance is a driver and i have firsthand seen him after work completely exhausted on the brink of heat exhaustion to sell this as a driver. we spend a lot more time inside the vehicle,

then we should. we don't get so started earlier or have work fluid adjusted. something has to give. we have 1000000, 312000 656 petition signers. the, according to independent research by nbc, between 20152019, at least 170 of us workers have to be hospitalized through the heat related work accidents. and the authorities in the unit say the true figure could be much higher, tried to hide injuries, especially of accidents. they try to keep you from reporting something they'll say, well, you know what? go home, take a couple of days or not knowing what it's got to do to your body 10 years from the current study, warren's but delivery staff faced the risk of developing chronic kidney disease like the kind observed in central america. when we asked the company said the

health of its workers, was that top priority we believe that by training our people to be prepared and by providing ample resources for support and hydration, we can continue to keep them safe. last summer we accelerated the installation of fans in every u. p. a small package delivery vehicle in the us and provided our employees with 260000 new uniforms, with waking dry fits shirts and performance fabric shorts. more than 164000 cooling tunnels, more than 31000000 bottles of water plus ice and fruits with high water content. since 2011 osha the us work safety authority as far do you pay us $7.00 times for insufficiently protection for its employees?

the fine, so were never in excess of $15000.00 at a national level. complaints against companies are rare because in the us there are no required nationwide laws to force employers to prevent heat stress. let's face it. there will always be the need for those kind of workers in the outdoors and into warehouses so we should have to work with it. and finally have some standards to protect them. a member of the us house of representatives from california duty to his spot for 15 years to include heat protection and federal labor law. in 2006, she saw state law passed, requiring companies to offer water and breaks the labors, working in temperatures over 35 degrees celsius. california actually has had millions of penalties imposed on employers. i still think that california can do

a better job in terms of the inspections, though none the less, of course, we don't have enough penalties across united states because the conditions haven't even been implemented by osha so we have to have those rules there as a condition a work for both indoor and outdoor workers. the representative has found an important outline. the white house president, joe biden and vice president. cumberland harris are demanding that osha develop regulations to prevent heat stress on the job. the outdoor heat, indoor heat, presents a workplace safety issue, and employers are responsible for protecting their workers in the workplace from the dangers of the heat, including any farm field and delivery there everywhere that has

its no easy feat while there are standards, osha has failed to create official laws and guidelines for their implementation. and i definitely think that there will be industries that won't be resistant because they would say that it will make them lose money that their workers won't be as productive. but is it really as simple as protecting labor equals reduce profits? a few companies have recognized in the meantime that doing nothing can be the most costly strategy of all the good temperatures all during a heat wave is all set to unfortunately, continue for the next 2 days on temperatures actually on the weekend, touched 49 degrees. the message often does one advice we often allow that to people

know to windshield outdoors on this absolutely necessary. the in 2022 india had a historic heat wave that lasted for more than 3 months. it seemed to confirm the predictions of climate researchers that our future will be full of earlier, more frequent and more severe heat waves. global warming could force india's economic growth to make an emergency stop. that's because the heat has costs and the economists are getting better and better at quantifying them. the you can have efficiency on the y axis and temperature on the x axis. so totally good 0 and too many studies we've seen that

the human body has a test or at the 18 degrees celsius when about the temperature. so this goes funds to drain $930.00 degrees that sits in the right temperature. you see that the efficiency on the productivity of any human or domestically follows and continues to follow. the common sector is one of the largest employer in the form is based of women that are approximately 45000000 workers in this space. and the majority of them are women, the piece of work are the set of production lines. so they are situated in

a close to each other and to work as fast based. so when workers are so closely situated apart from the room, temperature says there's other sources of body heat that's coming out. the, as the i'm being told there's room temperature is increasing the effect on the human bodies way to your mental abilities. start slowing down, you know, physiologically your body is getting tired, foster and in the factories, the vague targets that upset the textile workers are in a bind. the climate is forcing them to slow down. while the system demands,

they work faster and faster. maybe 4 or 5 to 10 minutes, maybe 20 minutes. you can push instead of meet your targets. but at the end of the day you will definitely the situation with the fatigue will be too much for you to control. it might start at one wrong step out of that, and then by the end of the day, you're just making mistakes. farther on of the back from you and not able to meet meeting your dog is you can also lose your job. the indian textile julia srahi can precisely measure how temperature impacts its employees to the degree. the company discovered this almost accidentally. so we started making notes. we chatted them, is that so we can dig for reduction in part consumption. so that we started

identifying higher. i appreciate and see ladings in place of conventional compact photos and lamps which use more to electricity. and also there is a lot of heat. the electricity gets converted into heat, which is not required in the factories that have a that ended up adopting any lights. we saw that the productive video of the efficiency of workers did fall on the bus that aging degree decimal. but it didn't fall as drastically as in those factories where did this? lighting still existed? the conversion to l e. d. lights reduced the temperature on the factory floor by 3 to 4 degrees celsius. with each degree of decrease, the productivity of the workers grew by around 3 percent. the company recognized how beneficial it would be to find a way to cool the employees off. today the factories are equipped with enormous

fans and ventilation systems. but the seamstresses are still stuck on the production line. your target date, the temperature. so actually, res, no, be we thought of. here's the efficiency awful lot of flank designedly, when the standard levels only and retake precautionary measures, as i said in case of making their designs. if you're not getting that productivity out of the efficiency, then the fact that in coming up in that area will not be viable. and those people really get really lose the opportunity for employment. it's not just the work of the 4 months, so that's getting affected. so overall i, you, the more that is whom are you can it's a video as possibility. well, it economically your sector, or even as a nation,

you're put it often before simple interaction between heat and the human body has of a massive effect on the national economy. when it's hot, people work less more slowly and less effectively. this is causing more than 2 trillion dollars to be lost to the global economy annually. this figure is forecast to double by 2050 as a result of climate change. in europe in the south, especially frequent heat waves are projected to cause high losses. but the rise in temperature will hit the economies on you later. hardest the law. some companies are already trying to adapt. millions of workers just don't have the means to do it. in india,

90 percent of them work in the informal economy and most are women. these invisible labors work without contracts or social security, the really a tragedy because the men actually loved watching from the whole lives. they're very important, really venue talking about any comments. so more something we're doing this new company is when they are manufacturing that product. this products are actually old stores for the ve men while working into slumps. safety look at the houses that we've finding or low medias. both holidays are constructed from what data like inserts are, demand serves, are thoughtfully, all and all the smart videos are really trapped huge. this the 1st item bridge at all, sir, it is 45 degrees celsius. the women who are working from their home will actually be feeling like 4 to 7 or 40 degrees celsius.

may hardest, obviously, some of his being warm as unusual. like being living in the home to bond for 30 years, and it never being this whole to be common as a seamstress and the slums of a home to buy heat weights are common in the city. but this year the extreme heat came even earlier than normal in march for almost 40 days in a row, temperatures hit 40 degrees celsius to last week, it was so hot and slips for 3 or 4 days. i couldn't work. yeah, i told him was that i turned down the jumps. my customer attached to me like i'm up was because the normally the common earns around 200 rupees a day. that's around 2 years. the heat reduces her earnings as if it were a tax. each degree reducing done by a few rubies one and what did you heal up zone?

the productivity loss. anything between 30 percent to 50 percent, depending on the kind of long then definitely definitely the money that they're going to make during doesn't want to add video as much on the other site. they are making more investment also in this somewhat for example, they have to be a little bit extra on that electric safety charges, but keep that home because so maybe talk about the climate change. i think they need to realize that the most of the ones that are very populous and particularly autumn bunker, what they are freezing, named back to day. and now it's not something that is going to affect them in the future. the, the you with the support of the injury on the healer because it has found it in all female neighborhood committee de means guineas.

you're not responsible for the problem affecting them, but they have no other choice but to seek solutions together. fema the back. a obviously mom to go to, you know, how hot it is today may no, you don't get the bottom. no. because sometimes baseball is basically it's 46 degrees of quite going to cause yes, that's right. up to 46 degrees. tell me the comedy, my dad is on the account because, i mean, i don't ever do this for i used to work 6 hours a day. sometimes even back when i was employed at a company, now i only work of 2 hours together. but after an hour, i'm already wiped out. that's how much you all in it before i've earned 3 year olds a day to get into them. we'll get there now. i just stay home in the summer and do nothing movies. so the problem was that, so when you're sewing, you've got to sit for hours. i can't manage the near god. when did it hot?

i can barely breathe. i get dizzy, and my blood pressure droppers at the ticket is outside the army gave me again. so what can we do about the heat? is this tough on job? like i'm asked me one foot planted tree audience on. i've got, if everyone would slumped a tree that would take a bit of the heat, tulsa put up nearby. and the kids could play under them. we should plant trees on the way, but the streets of 2 now are to plant trees according to our calculations for the whole low end. yeah, we're talking about at the end of the sent to the a on the current track. so the time of change about 15 percent of the work hours. so it'd be lost overall and in the country. so that's again, almost 2 months of the year. you know, it's estimated the effects of heat on productivity could cause india to lose around 4 percent of his gross domestic product by 2030. the workers and major cities are

those who suffer most from the heat. so here creating a 3 dimensional map of the bugs with buildings and trees and open spaces. if the thing is getting created the same time, we will be supporting closing remote sensing data. so 1st inputs of data to understand where the heat blocks off there the, the pockets out, and what is the density of buildings and what are the density of trees. and so it's a really premium and a study suggest that the surface temperature difference from one area to other katie i could be in the range of $8.00 to $16.00 degree. yes ma'am. the seems to be people who stays in a, in a area of a char, having a more vegetation really not seen so much of feet versus people who are living in the area which is very common to nancy. fact receive of the cooling cities as an economic challenge because 80 percent of global wealth is

produced in urban areas and half of the population lives and works there. the architect, roger and rollo, is working on a major task for the 21st century success to pulling a sort of mississippi not is no more lecture. how do we provide a cooling through large amount of people easily? and the challenge is actually where conditioners a new bring to challenge this. one is the energy consumption. and then we produce energy right now does add a lot of emissions and the same fine. but as soon as you didn't leave it use inside the, the coup and also has a global warming potential. so on these 2 friends, probably it's, it's going to be the only the with challenging how limited in a gap. this is the demand for air conditioners could grow by

a factor of 10 in the next 15 years. today, it's available to a small percentage of the indian population but adapting to climate change with air conditioning isn't just a mistake. it's a tramp system for white, a cooling within the burning american national. mr. extract the heat it is getting for news within the building. now when it gets the heat, outdoor outdoor temperature locally in the micro and warm, and also both on the heat, emissions from air conditioners can raise outdoor temperature is in a city district by one or 2 degrees celsius. so the comfort of individual workers is achieved at the cost of others for roger and roll. well, the solution would, and the form of strategic use of technologies and what he calls personal thermal

comfort, the condition inside learning what we just want to create the micro and woman around people. and to me that we use so many the personalized comfort system has a 4 and one page. it does use a less energy, but it's the same thought. it provides an opportunity for each individual specifically on formal enrollment and the moment to provide a appropriate summerland woman for different occupants have different labels there for an activity different if it goes up because they are happy in that one double and warm it india needs to find affordable solutions to shield itself from future heat waves. like this reflective paint women in the slums of a home developed or buying at the mikaela and g o the

it can reduce temperatures and the buildings by 4 to 5 degree celsius. the experts say we have to come up with new concepts for settings, the making them greener, building differently. and of course, improving interior ventilation. the if we don't adapt, there's a danger that a thermal gap could open up in cities. ready highly qualified workers with then only be able to escape the heat, while others with suffering that in this new world of work, panes of glass and air conditioning will separate those who sweat from those who don't the warming world,

people see a lot of risk and that's understandable, there's a lot of risk, but there's also an enormous amount of opportunity to, to change how we organize, work to change how we value people. we can actually, it saves both industry and government a ton of money by making sure people don't get sick. the, the question for me is, how do we think about re conceptualizing production? how do we think re conceptualizing work if we want to produce in the conditions of climate change? the only way to imagine continuing to produce is to imagine drawing on the expertise of workers to restructure that system of production. whether it's a u. p. s. driver, or a construction worker and company. what will be the place of workers worked in

dispensable to our economy in the new climate age? will they be valued less because he makes them less productive and who will pay the price of protecting them? what is clear is their situation depends more than ever. on how well we take care of our planet, the

. the league also is drowning in the state administrative. the environment is now banned . single use plastic, posing huge problems, save me some of these programs. we're looking at the long term environmental to now beach on east texas. finding out for 1030 minutes on d. w. the

trends, news trends and nature defend itself in case of an emergency. we cannot guarantee that we could protect munich frankfurt. berlin can't do it. faced with russia is more against ukraine. the rose grace has ministry lines, shows we can nato alter its members, suspicion protection and security basically depends on 90 percent on the us basic were attacked. what the alliance really close round out to part document nation starts april fools on dw, the

the this is dw news wind from berlin, a new light winds of the people of gauze that is taking shape. first ship cynthia, in new maritime a cord or is arriving off the golfing coast with $200.00 tons of many more are expecting to fall is also coming up tonight. leaders in germany, france and poland say that they are united in preventing russia from when he gets more with the crane. they emerged from talks today and berlin, promising more weapons, and ceaseless backing for the cotton and russians are casting balance in the countries presidential election. the outcome is not in doubt the.
