events, period until the orthodox easter and without you are up to date, up next on the w. adult film examines how climate change affecting our working conditions around the world. that's a good day. the 1000000 people in what it's in just a 100 days. my parents because of my family, what cute was this age? i'm on a journey to find out about the russo the 19 there to put you on the side for games for to see through under my name is some way to shimmer. i'm a fit and makes sleep shaving history documentary stuffs, april 6th, on dw, the, the flu. so you don't want the actual

evening flat if the cost me called a saw in diesel to could keep the patient the only thing global temperatures will increase the risk of suffering right before the big issue for those he was outside the visual need. but that laugh showed that the 2 lovely swell instead of to sit down. so the extra clearly to do means on do down the hall and on

the beneath the scorching sun to peasants. take a break while working a field. it's hard talking work the best oral setting makes an obvious point. eat and work never did mix well. the when men 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 hotter 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 the range, you know, to the top part of estimates that i'm going to pay just the bottom of what i'm

talking about. and this one was the one that we shouldn't make if i leave with be able to get before he doesn't mind on the bed. that's an old one. it's open only on one side and has no ac. i can see system that's even worse than city of what else? what is the to the driver side table felt like it was 50 degrees in the cabin, then up to one sided out there's, you know, but i do wonder, imagine it's like a green house in there. it wasn't in there like a sauna, so i live in november to 98 percent oxygen saturation part rates, $79.00. so in 2 experts are here as part of a joint project by the in government and the non profit organization. you know, you, they're trying to safeguard against the effects of heat in the workplace. taking

a picture with the thermal camera, their job is to assess the health risks the heat poses for italian workers. as the inside of this measures, your heart rate exhaustion, high precision. and sometimes i'm busy, especially mild though. yes. because of it's hong size. it's very hard to sort of miss bad weather is full cost to be storms right away on these are you working with? this is on super sufficient feeding 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 hotter summer's the if you need to add that on. besides, you just don't want to go to

a fund any steps 1st you start switching. yeah. with the switch to montana, they're getting the hydrated of losing mineral to be that can cause from that tire and confusion and then the worst pieces off your loss of consciousness, each stroke for, for the cover when you have to act fast, to prevent tragic situation. but i mean for the heat to enable into these workers or people to open up when you guys are going for the active learning vicious 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 width 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 by wednesday and see that level i t of as they won't display people in the me,

the speed that silver mine here was under severe physiological stress was weird including the hindered switching was action to his heart rate grew sharply to nearly a $140.00 piece per minute and quarter and together 5 thing 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 when it rises cannot. it is like a car without your radiator it overheat. such engine keeps getting hotter and hotter. and if you're into it, stops is going to be paid on the top of most somebody saying, but the sunsets simple rules. it forces the body to slow down what workers or just subject to the laws of nature. to remove the articles in today's paper, what does it stable?

she says she started feeling ill in the sun and died on the roof of the hanger. did you come on knowing as a worker from romania little manual establish yesterday as a chest that was yesterday before a father of 4 children. that meant so it was likely a heart attack. should i miss you? see that didn't fit. we need it. getting to yesterday was the time to act for too late. today i have a little from now we've got to read this awful news of a romanian who leaves behind a family of 4 children, the level that 40 can and just because you went to work and quite a little fee cause a bad repair quite in $1.00 table $57.00, what i was just hard to imagine how such a thing could happen on the official complaint and just shoot that meeting. 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 deaths in the us in 2022. and

a growing branch package delivery, seeing more and more cases, the family of waco, us worker who died on the job over the summer, is file a wrongful death lawsuit against the company. on august 12th, jose cruz rodriguez was found dead at the u. b. 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 life again. i don't think he he to service jose cruz rodriguez died age 23 from hyperthermia. after he complained to feeling unwell on his delivery route. the drivers unions,

the teamsters saying his sudden desk is no isolated case at u. b. s. nationwide. the company is among those with the greatest number of heat 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 and had had to go to emergency rooms 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 cars are still going to be way over

a 100 degrees. imagine if you had the um, 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 do it. space the brother's assistance, the perot 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 introduce 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, they're mounting with dashboard cameras. they're installing 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're 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, looking like 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 out. 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 spend part of the day, sorting their packages. but us delivery personnel aren't just exposed to extreme heat. they're expected to work quickly to the drive with their

doors open to save time. and if 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. they're telling maddox 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 for a can be 40 packages that weigh 50 pounds each to this warehouse here. but to 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, it's you know, the sweat and the life. think about your 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 building finished and i gotta get to the next one. 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 last thought i would might was the failures or

6 years ago, jim clint nearly died at the wheel of his delivery truck, the former and us driver. thanks, the presence of mind of his wife, a nurse, urged him to go to the emergency room. the final diagnosis was a key renal failure. and that goes on to explain about the q to be learned across us and that the hydration was resolved. this was 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, hydrate, hydro, and in your mind the whole time, you know, you're just thinking ok, what didn't i do, right? to always make toys what than i do, right?

and, you know, bottom line is, it comes down to the fact that, that you're not getting into main situations. you're in very int, he made 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 a 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 from temperatures, rise to dangerous levels. and ask for joe 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 his 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, a stablished as a driver. we spent a lot more time inside the vehicle, then we should. we don't get to started earlier or have work fluid adjusted.

something has to give. we have 1000000, 312000 656 position signers. the according to independent research by nbc. between 20152019. at least 107 u. p. s. 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. they have tried to hide injuries, especially that 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 going to do to your body 10 years from now. the current study, warren's but delivery staff faced the risk of developing chronic kidney disease like the kinds 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 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 one 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 has fine due 7 times for insufficiently protection, for its employees. the finds 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 come to grips with it and finally has 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 inspection. so nonetheless, 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 ally in 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 in farm field and delivery man 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 us. good temperatures 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 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 have seen that the human body has a test or at the 18 degree celsius when

both temperature. so this goes funds to drain $930.00 degrees as this in the j temperature. you see that the efficiency of the productivity, of any human or domestically follows and continues to follow. the common sector is one of the largest employer in the phone, the space 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 the work is foss fees. 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 under the 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 for 5 to 10 minutes, maybe 20 minutes,

you can push and still meet your targets. but at the end of the day, you will definitely reach a situation where 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 spot from you and not able to commit to meeting your targets. 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 a zip, so we can dig for reduction in part consumption. so that we started identifying. i really 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 productivity or the efficiency of workers did fall in the boss that aging degrees s o in. but it didn't fall as drastically as in those factories where that is, the lightning still existed. the conversion to lead the lights reduce 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 today, the temperature. so actually always know we, we thought of, here's the efficiency all forward or flying. a good design level. standard level is one g, 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 why but, and those people really get really lose the opportunity for employment. it's not just the work for them on, so that's getting affected. so overall i you, the more that is whom are you can it's a visualized possibility. well, it economically uh, your sector, even as a nation, you'll 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 weight or 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

labourers worked without contracts or social security the really a tragedy because the man actually loved watching from them from the home. please. the very important role or 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 those houses are constructed from what data like 10 seconds or so man serves our top 40 and all the smart videos are very trapped here. this the 1st item. pretty general sir. it is $45.00 degrees celsius. the women who are working from data home will actually be feeling like 4 to 714 degrees celsius may hardest, obviously, some of his being woman's unusual, like been living in the home to bond for 30 years. and it's never been this hard

because it is 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 that for 3 or 4 days i couldn't work. yeah, 20 was that i turned down the jumps. my customer attached to me like i'm up, was because 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 them by a few rubies. but even though the product they were getting those anything between 30 percent of 50 percent depending on the kind of one thing,

definitely definitely the money that they're going to make during doesn't want to and videos. but on the other side they are making more investment. also in this somewhat for example, they have to be looking to protect strong data, collect activity charges will give that whole cause. so maybe talk about the climate change. i think we need to realize that to most of the we're little bit populous, and particularly auto bang for the r frizzing, the impact 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 n g o mikaela because it has founded an all female neighborhood committee the giving you you're not responsible for the problem affecting them,

but they have no other choice but to seek solutions together. fema, the back a. there are busy mom to go to, you know, how hot it is today, may no, you don't have the model for them. know, because sometimes the sun is basically, it's $46.00 degrees of coy going to cause yes, that's right. at 46 degrees till it made the comment you made out the account cuz i mean, i don't have to 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 2 hours together, but after an hour i'm already wiped out the time. i do all of it before i've earned 3 zeros today. now i just stay home in the summer and do nothing these days. so that's where i was. that was the when you're sewing, you've got to sit for hours. i can't manage the guy. when did the hot? i can barely bree, it's a, i get dizzy. the my blood pressure droppers at the deck that is outside. gotta make

any account. what can we do about the heat is really tough on time. like i'm actually waiting for the loan to tre hardings on. i've got, if everyone would fall into a tree that would take a bit to utah. so put up nearby. and the kids couldn't play under them. we should plant trees on the way, but the streets you too narrow to plant trees. according to our calculations for the whole low in yeah, we're talking about at the end of the sent to the a on the contract. so the time of change about 15 percent of the work hours, so it's been lost overall and in the country. so that's again almost 2 months out of a year. 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 i'm of the but we have better things in trees and open spaces. the thing is getting created the same time the we will be supporting closing a remote sensing data, surface temperature data to understand where the heat buckets off there the, the buckets out, and what is the density of buildings and what are the density of trees. and so it's a very pretty name 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 the people who stays in a, in a area of a char, having a more vegetation be 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 roswell, is working on a major task for the 21st century success to cooling a sort of mississippi not is no more lecture. how do we provide a cooling to large amount of people easily have the challenges activity where conditioners bring to challenges. one is the energy consumption, and then we produce energy right now. does add a lot of emissions at the same time, but as president, 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 lead even challenging how we really gap this. 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 building, and we may have conditional release to extract the heat. it is getting from news within the building. now when it gets the heat, outdoor outdoor temperature locally in the micro and warm and also blows up. 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 come in 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 move 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 time. it provides an opportunity for each individual specifically on thermal in wyoming. and the moment you provide a appropriate summerland woman for different occupants have different levels 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 to bond or buying at the mckayla and g o. the to be can reduce temperatures and the buildings by $4.00 to $5.00 degrees 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. 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 in a warming world,

people see a lot of risk and that's understandable. there is 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 fleming goes out saying he is not so nothing is an internationally recognized nature. reserve the government test on the boosting tours and by building and as pushing, climbing over to get create in 30 minutes on the w tax us the rich and do it. now that's what multi millionaires are demanding. this isn't

a joke. many of the super rich wants to tackle income, any quality, and they know that one of the solution is in their bank accounts. addressing any quality, the millionaire is wanting to pay wealth taxes. in 90 minutes, d, w. the trends. news trends and nature defend itself in case of an emergency. we cannot guarantee that we could protect meaning. frankfurt, berlin, santa faced with rushes were against you. will grace's military alliance spaces, new threats? would it really close ranks if it were a top european security basically depends to 90 percent from the us
