the world's largest supplier of liquefied natural gas is leaving the biggest oil call to we bring you the stories that are shaping the economic world we live in counting the cost on al-jazeera. the conditions for existence on us a sustained by complex web of climatic processes. i mean the 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 droughts are becoming the norm . 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. two years pena 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 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. i think 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 smart phone well. the app access to satellite maps which detailed the water conditions throughout kenya every ten days or. you could all see just fine there was so c.d.'s i was now trying to write using its head is can see instantly we need 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 aside i have lost both hof their cattle.

joshua has been using a few scouts three months. joshua yes 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. is another brother of mine. it's a pleasure to meet you all so we're going to get started are we going to walk now or. we will. be. a bit wild when you go through that mena can possibly.

as much as five hundred dollars at market even move. something that seems so simple but it's really not. a good rhythm strength to make it. so when you have a drought like kenya is having now how does that affect your cattle last. year i lost. fifteen. billion but. it is very. i mean i know today we're going to take a trip i'm hoping that you can show me the tour. that makes it.

that will be making. us. wow long way to go. are accustomed to booking hours it takes to find good pasta. for months at a time. when

the conditions. this is what. well i was moving one. on here 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 event so it was a real loss 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 during the training flow we have won't be the. point somewhere here we needed. according to the app it's thirty kilometers from where they start. is a really popular place to come into someone else's brook because. can we find a place under the tree maybe have a bit of a rest. so can we see this watering hole on the map

is the model we can form. here you can see from somewhere here. knowing the location of attempting to source like this could mean life or death for hood. well you better weather was. nice it was a woman the app can make all this much simpler it's all about what you. do you do not allow you to. ok because at the moment when you need to look for water for your cattle for pastures 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 cover on the way from moment to carry we maybe. they maybe have an honorary myside maybe. numbers you can see the difference. yeah yeah it's so much better. 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 there we. give them up i mean that's something i've had a wonderful day thank you so much i'm tired and i've had a wonderful story and i must thank you now we can move to the homestead just because the sun is burning some couple couple then you've left yeah.

i could use one here. ok we'll hope for the herd is with access to satellite maps livestock mortality has really hard. since joshua has relied on i feel scout he hasn't lost any cause to drought. to him he has been a real. access. yes we have a lot of that money oh yeah that was like it however was an. extreme weather reference and now a regular occurrence around the world. but. 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 were left dad and many thousands homeless by our 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. but the country observed is people migrate temporarily and over short distance internally between their countries if there's a drought or an environmental stress you move to temporarily move to tender strategic spectrum and incentives and the reality the people come back with we might see in the future is permanent migration and longer distance cooperation you might see how communities having to look right across their life records are no

longer have sustainable it might be an entire nation states that have to move. mangroves are among the most by it. first 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 mangroves of already been lost and here in the irrawaddy delta only sixteen percent were originally covered is left and in myanmar where local innovative project is combining grassroots conservation state they are drawn technology to take mangrove regeneration to new heights. myanmar 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. while it is a proper tree. the tallest mangroves here reach twenty five metres and a sturdy forty centimeters in diameter the force was planted after a cycle of nine hundred seventy five. these trees here did you plant them where daddy always sad to go human being. i mean.

you can imagine these incredibly. violent storms that blow in here and you start to understand how these mature forth actually have the capacity to break that that wind and stop some of that storm surge making its way into these settlements and farms and how about maybe some of the other farms where there's no mangroves do you know of any farms that suffer because of the storms ending up there. is it any are you that the dead line and look at the. machinery out about you know are commenting on jadine michigan yeah i mean if you got here 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 oh you thanks for me are. there to be do you thanks so much. when heads to worldview international foundations among groups regeneration project here in the i'm not. going. to get. the feet back up. with. that.

oh. wow. at the moment there is this segment grocery all over this and mental condition is a severely degraded right in that cost eighty are. percent of the villages they don't have a million jobs they're trying to find out their money from the mayor over here and they're going to come in three within that one hour what they can get their 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 that has driving people into the mangroves 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 the age 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 hundred locals have systematically planted hundred thousand seedlings by hand here and last me a year goes right back all the way through doesn't it. 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 mud 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 tube are you from

this area you know i know that. all of them are literally. i don't even know why they're all loaded i'm all on the you don't seem. to be very well my we were little 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 do yeah you are looking for an anomaly when we've. got all my d.v.d. of you know we live in a bad leader our why would they not they'll be able. to. borrow more of the. game of you know. yeah i understand you show me how to do it i mean i am a complete no of it just. can't. get it

get the hang of it i do 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. this is an incredibly complex ecosystem but we're 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 their money and room and they are they working today they be. wanting to be here. today the

oxford based team of scientists will be testing with their double propeller of course through coke to groom can find seven thousand seeds in an hour is so continue 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 military 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 materials it looks like we're nearly there i just saw a green light. ok well good. the

test will be successful if one show into the ground imbedded in the soil deep enough for growth to occur if it works the team returned in a few months time to time twenty cool believe. that is. i have never seen it from a guy before yeah. the drone 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 told to save a life because it's the livin schildt they protect people from the ocean they protect people from tsunami from cura canes 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 here 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. in canada west sea ice has become dangerously thin a scheme is providing real time measurements of ice thickness to local communities . this data reveals which routes the safe to travel and which are not. meanwhile in los angeles where extreme drought has become the norm. ninety six million shade people 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. with the most people in the world production is under increasing strain to keep pace with the growing global population. sirrahs environmental solutions program discovers new ways of feeding the world sustainably folksong eighty thousand just on this bit of liquid that's unbelievable and see there's the vegetable of the scene right there. for thought on al-jazeera one of the really special things about working for al-jazeera is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much empathy and contribution to

a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else would be for us as you know it's very challenging liberally but the good because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues we are we the people we live to tell. real stories just mended is to deliver in-depth enemies and we don't feel in fear of a good audience across the globe. every armed attack in europe creates fear and division amongst its citizens where stories of loss go untold. as sweeping association of islam with violence leaves european muslims facing the stock reality of being ostracized by the very communities in which they live love and moon the tragic loss of life twice a victim and on al-jazeera.

al-jazeera where ever you are. we will have one hundred percent of the caliphate u.s. president donald trump says the total defeat of i saw is imminent. a lot has i'm sick of this is as you see it a line from doha also coming up. the united nations says desperately needed aid is being used as a political pawn in venezuela. that i've been wanting to remove curse.
