raid on the president's attorney michael collins office is that likely there is something in there that would contradict what the president had said and instead of having that revelation come out at an unexpected time send out a member of the president's legal team to say yes that's the case that it doesn't matter but certainly there are many that will say this does matter because essentially what this does is this does confirm what many have been trying to prove for some time is that the president knew more about this than he was letting on nearly eight hundred people have been killed after a powerful rain and dust storm hit parts of northern and western india at least sixty four people died in auto pradesh state and twenty seven of those in my just on the storm left a trail of destruction with collapsed houses fall in trees and dead livestock. it's angry protests broken out on a remote but strategic yemeni island after the united arab emirates deployed military aircraft and troops there to support archipelagos

the conditions for existence on earth a sustained by complex web of climatic processes. i mean all rains predictable seasons and consistent temperatures all allow life to flourish. but over reliance on fossil fuels is causing the delicate balance of our planet to shift. instances of extreme weather use speed rather but now deadly heat waves wildfires powerful floods hurricanes and trouts of becoming the new.

the question is no longer will they happen but when and how we can cope with them. i'm tony in kenya to explore a high tech solution that is helping her to survive on going to. and i'm a few viewed in myanmar where drones are helping to protect coastal communities against extreme weather events. for two years penny has been in the grip of a devastating drought amongst those worst affected are kenya over five million pastoring for whom finding fresh water and lush postulants is critical for the survival of their herds but something has been developed could something like this hold the key to getting heard is around the country through these difficult times. today and app called every scout is being launched in the town of. they'll be heard

from all over the region who've come to learn more about the app and take that information back to their villages i'm interested to see what they make of the new technology. every scout is the brainchild of project concern international p.c.i. and committed to helping. nearly four thousand people around africa use it so far and today it's been officially rolled out in kenya. i mean. what. p.c.i. hopes to revolutionize how hurt is find water by using something eighty seven percent of kenyans already have in their pockets. a smartphone well. the access to satellite maps which detailed the water conditions throughout kenya activity every ten days.

you had all. five. so. it was right up. using it haters can see instantly where to target migration and avoid using dry areas which need time to recuperate i. to find out more about how the app can help it is i'm off to southern kenya with some messiah i have lost the hof the account. joshua has been using three months joshua yes i am going to thank you so much allowing us to come to your home and join you today these are your animals yeah these are my animals is my father says it to me. is my brother fellow to reach you is another brother of mine is on my way i was it's

a pleasure to meet you all so we're going to get started are we going to walk now or. there is a process milking the cows and the up. we will go. back our will be. a bit wild yeah when you go did that mean a composite. for the messiah cattle are highly prized a large car can fit as much as five hundred dollars at market but it's even move valuable as a source of food for the family. something that seems so simple but it's really not as easy.

so when you have a drought. how does that affect cattle. but . i mean i know today we're going to take a trip i'm hoping. that

we'll be making. wow. are accustomed to booking as far as it takes to find good pasta. for months at a time. to become. joshua didn't have to add when the conditions were also extreme. this is what. well i was

moving on. we tried to help. you. and some credit. so you had gone to try and look for water and just for the cows but the cow just couldn't make the journey and the car just collapsed here yeah it was a big call to. be. in the morning six. in the evening so it was a real lust for you. and just it brings back home just the thought that it's such a difficult way of life because you have to keep on the move to find the water and to find the grazing lands but in order to move these animals use so much energy to go from one place to another so if you don't know where you're going and you're just trying your luck wherever you can it's incredibly hard for these animals.

with almost fifty percent of his livestock already lost to drought it's even more pressing for joshua to keep his surviving cattle in good condition which means finding ample water doing the trick we have won't do the. point that it's somewhere here and we needed. according to the app it's thirty kilometers from where they start. this is a really popular place to come in trinkets feed someone else's book pick out. can we find a place under the tree maybe have a bit of a rest type. so can we see this watering hole on the map is the model we can form this. way here you can see it somewhere here. knowing the location of attempting to source like this could mean life or death for a hood. or you've got a weather was. nice it was

a woman the app can make all this much simpler it's all about what you. don't allow you to. write because at the moment when you need to look for water for your cattle what do you do you just go blind and so you think you might use it. and does it sound interesting does it something something you would use and you could. it's been ten hours and we're into what should be good posture that. this is where you are in the morning. and we have on the way to carry we maybe a. month maybe have an honorary maybe.

numbers you can do the different. yeah yeah it's so much better these classes. so the cows will be able to stay here they'll have enough food to eat they will stay here oh almost one month and then left. i mean the rest of the i've had a wonderful day thank you so much i'm tired and i've had a wonderful day. sorry and i must thank you now we can move to the concept because now in the sunset when we stand up a couple of us yankee yeah. i could use one. for her for the herd is with access to satellite maps livestock mortality has nearly died since joshua has relied on i feel scout he hasn't lost any counts to child. rearing and to him he has been

a real success. yeah yeah well i'm the only one we don't know yet. if you have the. extreme weather reference and now a regular occurrence around the world. scientists have found that human caused climate change is at the root of over two thirds of plan the result is often human suffering. in twenty seventeen hundreds when left died and many thousands homeless by a unusual weather conditions. the hurricane season in the caribbean caused unprecedented levels of destruction. devastating floods swept across southeast asia tornadoes hit the south of the us and california was roasted by a heat wave. since two thousand and nine one person every second has been displaced

by disaster. it's predicted that by twenty fifty they'll be two hundred million environmental migrants. what the current yourself is stuck people mind great temporarily under were short distance internally between their countries if there's a drought or an environmental stress you move a few temp. rarely moved but then there's two of the expectation an incentive from the reality the people come back what we might see in the future is permanent migration and longer distance quite gracious you might see whole communities having to feel ok because their life records are no longer there sustainable it might be and tired nation states that have to move. mangroves are among the most biodiverse habitats on the planet they play

a vital role in the lives of coastal communities but these forests are facing the forestation thirty five percent of the world's man groups of already been lost and here in the irrawaddy delta only sixteen percent will riginal cover is left and in myanmar where local innovative project is combining grassroots conservation state they are drawing technology to take mangrove regeneration to new heights. jamar is vulnerable to cyclons which strike every few years in two thousand and eight the worst ever cycle nargis claimed more than one hundred thirty thousand lives. experts now believe that mangroves hold the key to saving thousands of lives and the next big storm hits.

to find out how i've come to be a local coconut farmer who agreed to show me his mangrove forest. these are proper trees. the tallest man groups here reached twenty five meters and a sturdy forty centimeters in diameter the force was planted after a cycle in one nine hundred seventy five. these trees here did you plant them we had thought it was sad because mark i mean. you can imagine these incredibly. violent storms that blew in here and you start to understand how these mature forth actually have the capacity to break that wind and stop some of that storm surge making its way into these settlements and farms and maybe some of the other farms where there's no mangroves do you know of any farms

that suffer because of the storms. if you don't you know you did. the dead line and look at it yeah oh my. god you know i got michigan yeah maybe here yeah i mean you gotta go. i mean i get up there so it's a protection yeah. so if mangroves is so effective at protecting against storms why if one million hecht is being cut down since one thousand nine hundred eighty eight leaving the population here unprotected. i'm meeting with a known and ecologists with thirty years' experience in forestry to find a. willing o.r.u. thanks for me that they are going to do it that's so much. that.

when heads the world few international foundations man groups regeneration project here and i am not. going. to get. the feet that come. with it if it is. that good. oh. wow. at the moment this segment grocery all over this mental condition is seriously degraded right in that cost eighty are sixty percent of the villages they don't have

a million jobs they're trying to find out their money from there. and they're going to come in three within that one hour while they can get money for their livelihood now i understand so you're talking about really a negative feedback yeah it's like oh yeah it's this confluence of the environmental stresses and the economic stresses are just driving people into the mangrove yeah yeah i understand. shrimp and rice farming as well as charcoal production and strip myanmar of mongoose leaving it critically exposed . if action isn't taken soon the communities who live here in danger of being decimated by the next big storm. there are still trees yeah yeah there is this intrigue ok this is a war going to be ok from there to bob then fifteen. when the

one hundred locals and systematically planted four hundred thousand seedlings by hand here in the last three years goes right back all the way through doesn't it yeah. yeah. but the job is far from complete ok so we've come right into the thick of it here at work that we can hear in the background that's a lot of chopping and preparing of the ground before three hundred thousand seedlings or more are going to go into this mine so it sounds like there's a lot of hard work going on so we should maybe go on try and lend a hand. so can you tell me and you move you from this area you know are all unless they are all of them are loaded. i don't even all buy it all loaded i'm on old d. you don't seem. to me as he immediately

my way more lethal you feel some way you're. giving something back when you know i lose i get out of. here you know are you going to hold while you do yeah you lied to google for anomaly and we've. got all my d.v.d. of unity they've been married he got a mom who they know they'll be able. to. mom of the dollar. you know. yeah i understand you show me how to do i am a complete no of it just. can't. get it get the hang of it i feel it's all about the angles to get. just like that. the team of thirty five thousand hectares of coastline to plant. the

racing to do it before the next big cycle that. this is an incredibly complex ecosystem that was looking at you as an ecologist it must be incredibly challenging. to move towards restoration to win this turn to the latest technology. business. we're trying to. make every ninety minute room and they are they working today they. don't want him to be here. today the oxford based team of scientists will be testing with their doubles particularly cold through coke to groom confining seven thousand seats in an hour it is so cutting edge to stand back. and reena for the rink who heads up the project. so as this have been the mood for anything like this you know

of no two thousand knowledge we are definitely the first one and it's going to be our largest experiment is it just we can have a look at one of the poets to stick it to get a sense of what you were actually dealing with here so what is what is inside this they're made from by the great evil plastic and all natural material and society also while you have local science and you have local minerals and natural material looks like we're nearly there i just saw a green light you are. ok. the test would be successful if one shot into the ground. bedded the soil deep enough for growth to occur if it works the team returned in a few months time to time twenty four believe.

that is. i have never seen it from a guy before yes. the groom has a preprogramed flight path if the seeds penetrate the soil the chance of each of these pods becoming a tree is greater than if planted by nature or hand because the depth will be moving system to it goes. down and the team are happy the seeds are in the ground and it's time for nature to take its course i was just thinking inside this thing i mean it's there's so much more than just seeds it's insta future it's a but then szell to save a life because it's the livin schildt they protect people from the ocean they protect people from tsunami from here against and we have to do it now and we have to do it at the massive scale because from today to maybe six not months from now

maybe one year from now is maximum we will have a growing shield already so if the cycling hits next year people here will be protected and when you when you put it like that you know all of a sudden something so small can seem very significant indeed so i'm actually going to put that back in the ground where we found. the scientists test is finished. but for women his team is just the beginning. they wanted to the seeds progress carefully. and fall goes to plan many more trees will be planted by drone in the near future helping to safeguard the coast from extreme weather. all over the world people are having to adapt to unpredictable climate and weather

patterns. and canada west sea ice has become dangerously then a scheme is providing real time measurements of ice thickness to local communities . this data reveals which routes to safe to travel and which are knowledge. meanwhile in los angeles where extreme drought has become the norm. ninety six million shade will have been put into the l.a. reservoir to help reduce evaporation rates. these projects show the level of innovation that communities are using to protect themselves against increasingly volatile weather. but the question remains are these long term solutions or are they just masking the real problem.
