eurabia grounded into dust comparable to flour and make a whole lot of it and put it into a place where people live it is a cause colossal event. as well so many people a few here this is the silent heat. but doesn't make you feel nice you feel like a murderer we have created an enormous and little mental disaster. and investigation south africa toxic city 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 allowed 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 and. 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. a number of superior in myanmar where drones are helping to protect coastal communities against extreme weather events.

two years penya has been in the grip of a devastating drought amongst those worst affected are kenyans 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.

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 smartphone well. the app access is satellite maps which detail the water conditions throughout kenya every ten days or. can. you get off. to find the spot so c.b.s. 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 huff to cattle. joshua and doesn't do it has been using toffee scout three months. joshua yes thank you so much allowing us to come to your home and join you today he's your animals yeah this is my animals is my father says it to me. is my. brother. is my it's a pleasure to meet you all so we're going to get started are we going to walk now or. process house and. we will. be. a bit wild when you go.

for the. five hundred dollars that market even move. something simple but it's really not. strength to make it. so when you have a drought like kenya is having now how does that affect your cattle. where they might get to. fifteen. is a very. i mean i know today we're going to take

a trick and i'm hoping that you can show me the tool that you've been using now that makes it. that will be making. us. wow long way to go. our custom to booking hours it takes to find good pasta. for months at a time. when

the conditions. this is. when i was. if. we tried to help. so you had gone to try and look for water and passed just for the cows but the car just couldn't make the journey and the car just collapsed here yeah it was a big call. in the morning

six. in the evening 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 thirty 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 do the. point that it's somewhere here. according to the app it's thirty kilometers from where they start. is

a really popular place to come in drink someone else's. 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 this is the model we came from this. summer here you can see from somewhere here. knowing the location of attempting to source like this could mean life or death for a herd. well get 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 teaching them how to yeah 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 is 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 from order to carry we may be. not so they maybe have an honorary myside maybe. numbers you can see the difference. yeah yeah it's so much better than this. so the cows will be able to stay here they'll have enough food to eat they will stay here almost one month and then left there we. give them up i mean that's something which animals 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 said a couple couple still then you've left yeah yeah. yeah i could use one here. for her for the herders 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 real. excess. yes we have a lot more money and oh yeah that was. it however the. extreme weather evans 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 them the result is often human

suffering. and twenty seventeen hundreds were left dad 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 u.s. 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 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 whole communities having to be look right because their life records are no longer have sustainable it might be an entire nation states that have to move. mangroves are among the most fired up. first habitats on the planet they play a vital role in the lives of coastal communities but these forests are facing deforestation thirty five percent of the world's man groups have already been lost and here in the irrawaddy delta only sixteen percent which will cover 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.

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 when 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. how wild is a proper tree. the tallest mangroves here reach twenty five meters 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 we had audio with aggregate human behavior and i knew. 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 any. is it any are you that the dead by now and look at the. machinery out about you know our common humanity maybe here 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 for

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 me. going oh my thanks for me out. there but mediocre thanks so much. when heads the world few international foundations among groups regeneration project here in the i'm not. going. to get. the feeling that.

we could get. that. at the moment this segment grocery all over this mental condition is seriously degraded right in that cost eighty are. percent of the villages they don't have a million jobs they try to find out their money from there. and then they can come in. within that one hour while they can get money for their livelihood now i understand so you're talking about really a negative feedback cycle yeah it's this confluence of the environmental stresses and the economic stresses that has driving people into the mangrove yeah yeah i understand. shrimp and rice farming as well as charcoal production and strip

myanmar of mangroves 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 here yeah yeah there is this intrigue ok this is a war going to be ok from there to evolve in fifteen. when one hundred locals have systematically planted four hundred thousand seedlings by hand here in the last three years goes right through that 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 all that work that we can here 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 model 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 i know there are all of them are literally. i don't even know buying it at all i'm on old d. you know females will. immediately. lethal you feel some way you're. giving something back when you know i lose i get out of. here you know on the go to cold while you do yeah you want to look people are going to nominate a movie. out of my d.v.d. b.b. and t. they've been a bad leader are why would they not will be able to all. who my. mom of the dollar. you know. yeah i understand you show me. 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 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 there are plenty and 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 double propeller quadruped co-opted room in front of seven thousand seats in and out is still 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 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 just to kind of 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 in 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 shot into the ground. imbedded in the soil deep enough for growth to occur it works the team returned in a few months time to time twenty full believe. that is. i have never seen anything like that before yet. 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 it's to future it's a potential to save a life because mangroves it's to live in a shield 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 cycle 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 scientist 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 then 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 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. with the most a cool million people in the world food production is under increasing strain to keep pace with a growing global population al-jazeera is environmental solutions program discovers new ways of feeding the world sustainably folksong eighty thousand just on this the bread that's unbelievable and see there's the vegetable of the scene right

there. for thought on al-jazeera. result is one of nigeria's top tourist destinations but in the shadow of the mountain some large areas continue an ancient tradition with child protection workers say condemns young girls to a life of slavery and sexual exploitation five year old miracle was buried for money just a few weeks ago generally with some missionaries. when the marriages happened i couldn't reach it is a missionary who rescues girls their money goes to buy it get outrightly. be trucked to gail before she's born there what if it takes forty is. the brother to go to get money wife. why are they so poor emotion. when trying to form a government. that essentially the more we close down the more they push back we

knew it was coming to pass was to be said. to be surprised with the. we're watching all just their arms the whole robin and all these are all top news stories the deadline has not passed for us president donald trump to tell congress whether he'll impose sanctions on saudi arabia over the murder of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi under legislation called the mike thinks the act the president must outline what action if any intends to take those signs of congress triggered the act one hundred twenty days ago has previously said he doesn't want the khashoggi issue to jeopardize u.s. relations with saudi arabia. mike hanna has more from washington d.c. .
