since meteorological records began to beat trees of the young c river drying up crops and dying, and the livelihoods of millions of people are under immediate threat. while extreme dry weather is also causing problems in mexico, wires, their drought is hit. the northern city of monterey is 5000000 people are running out of water and relying on water tank has 30 se the situation that is desperate. manual rapidly has moved from mexico city, the drought conditions and extreme, he conditions here in mexico. the word being used to describe them is historic in some parts of the country, specifically the north eastern parts of the country, states like she was like normally. oh, and these are some of the dries conditions, this part of the country is seen in the last 30 years. in specifically in the case of the city of monterey, the capital city of neville, they own it's a city of 5000000 people. it's one of the most important industrial cities in the country. this is where the crisis is. perhaps most acute there have been rains in

that part of the country in recent days in recent weeks, but it simply has not been enough. the rainy season that was supposed to start there in may, it just simply never came. the answer to gen, onto the terraces in ukraine, southern port city of odessa to review the shipments of grain. the cargo is being exposed under a deal broke by turkey and the un last month allowed for the resumption of ukraine's great exports from 3 ports several ships, including a un johnson a vessel bound for if you have left. since then, i've been explosions in the somali capital market issue. witnesses say there was 3 blocks at an intersection in the city center. a short time later attack a storm. the hotel in the same area has been no word on casualties. and the followers of iraq elite and founder of again gathered to find a prize in bagdad green zone, holding firmness, free week long protests outside condiment. refusing to allow politicians in the

building 10 months after general election. iraq still has no government because of disagreements on forming a coalition. fries is the program coming up next, looking at some of the creative solutions to combat waters gas city. i'll be back with the news hour off that in about 30 minutes time. see then ah . with his t cents a sack is at the at less than 3 percent as fresh water. and i said that is frozen in last year. in polar ice caps. this leads left a note point, not one percent readily accessible for all the planets. fresh water needs at the

supply, despite resources, under threats, completion, mismanagement, rising to mullens and climate change, ah, just a for decade. it's estimated that dwelt will and yet 60 percent of the water needs . and if we want a contact to conserve it, i must have been up come to the dock in northern india. wish engineers have come up with some innovative solutions to alleviate what is stress in bantam communities. and i'm a mighty vain in children for women are taking a water crisis into that ah, millions of people rely directly on glass. you'll meltwater 5 will be to climate

change, these reservoirs in the sky disappearing at an alarming rate. some scientists have predicted that by the end of the century, much the him lives could be practically ice free. here in the dark, which experiences only 50 millimeters of annual rainfall glasses have been the light source for centuries. but you climate change over 14 percent of the local glacier area has been lost in the last 50 years. i'm here to visit and engineers come up with a beautiful and extraordinary way of preserving the glacial water using monuments made of ice in the town lea, a meat see when do me a local environmental scientists. i understand that you of an expert about climate change and the effects on mountain community. so can you give us a sense of some of the challenges that they're facing here in lay them in crisis is

that you have a kind long, legit. is that where we can see andrea, that's kind of leisure, and that's where it depots, end of though water is coming for the new residence. and dead glacier is receding at a very fast week, and every family lay has a guest house and they're, they're drain, run, lead, or like anything. if there is no leisure water to reach out to gun water in the 1st, they will do what the glad you will see people will if i do the water literally he has literally, the situation is getting was led to be almost a 1000000000 people are affected by shrinking glass use throughout the himalayas. a nearby village, young farmers are on the front line. san em darma and phone shook. unsure. have been working here for more than 40 years or so and,

and thank you so much accurately. ok, so cheers. have you noticed any changes, perhaps with the seasons or with the levels of water 11 low, you choosing a position? i mean, longish in a polar, the collision from gene but the past as they come. i thought so she checked in, not by own comment on was not only mcdonald's, hasn't such, isn't it? how do she? jenna nothing. mattie viewed e towns awful nurse cough was as in trivia martin to scholars, agencies in a county made by young chic monee mun, accounting software to him at the cheap years. and especially here in the region of the dark. the population relies heavily on the in this river but with the situation getting dramatically worse, a local engineer. so nam,

one shook is stepped up to the challenge of helping the villages adapt to these changes in january, february, nobody needs water. so the themes flow and going to the in the us and into the ocean. whereas in april, may everybody, all plans, all humans are all dying for water now. and then this acute shortage of water. ah, what i but does is by using winter water doing it in the form of 5 n e mails exactly when they use that spring problem is saw using winder water into eyes that most in spring. and then you said the me at the environmental mountain school he founded in 1988, has been refining and teaching his super concept for the last 2 years. the brings

water and then it was down and becomes a sofa. you know, the next 4050 years, the people who will be running this way. and now in schools and colleges, i want to engage them in these, you know, with the, with the sensitive towards the environment in the mountains. so they're going to be in safe hands. and before we go to the, i will see a little demonstration of how it is formula. now that suppose is the mountain and that bucket there is say the stream from the lake or the stream water comes in the by which is under down. but here you can see and there's pressure in the bite, and then it comes like this. so you can see smaller droplets, which means water is exposed to the minus 2 in the minus 30 air, loses its heat and freezes. there is no moving,

but there is no electricity. just gravity, that's the beauty of it. good, when we're heading up to the ice, stoopa is further up in the mountains. first, we have to make a quick strong oh god. okay with here's these for the ice to put the ice form for this is a kind of bio pies like the skeleton of their stupor if you like. ready i'll go and give them a hand with my contribution.

ah wow. never seen anything like that before. this is good. now i understand. you know, it's quite a bunk, his ideas quite as quickly really on the design of the stoopa is critical for his success. he must have a minimal surface area to provide a maximum protection from the sun. this enables it to last long in to spring, sometimes up to 4 months. if the same volume of ice was a flat glacier, it would melt within days. while his claim to talk with crampons and ice ex and

he's thrown down this rope and he's pulling them up, he's by piece and just adding them to the pile. the prickly buck thorn is added all the way to the top of the stoopa. the water catches on to the thorns, making it easy to crystallize in the cold weather. and when you see the size of it, you really understand how that could have a significant impact for irrigation. what you reckon the volume of what is there to name lindley this, to turn in the bottom of that come really in the heart. the ice deeper is this large plate. that's the one is channeling the melt. we're down from the gracie up on the mountain coming down to the base of that pipe and because i had a pressures forcing it, 15 or 20 me is up at the edge. and to sprinkling gutierrez structure,

the spooky in blue. sometimes vision isn't just about a handful of ice to put in one ment. village. hundreds of protecting the entire himalayas in helping irrigate fields in forests or $5000.00 trees were planted in 2015 and irrigated each spring with the water harvested from ice to bush. he's already one global recognition for this project. was the future for these guys where this is going in. the next is, i think going into different directions, lower and lower towards the people in the villages higher and higher towards the highest parts of the valley. where you can grow many of them chains of them. so our hope is we could legally hear what we have lost do by dying and adapt to changing climate. so it just lost the sun over the hill. it's getting cold very quickly. but

we've got a plan because stands in intimacy and they were brought some prayer legs to tie up on to the top of these 2, i stupid. and we'll get a sense to more morning how effective they are creating is amazing. struck him, the water in the pipe is released over night when temperatures which minus 20 minus 30 degrees. i slowly building up these structures until they reach heights of 60 or 70 feet. yeah. if i care oil rig i get struck oil. but if drug boy, ah, the next morning i returned to the stupidest to see the changes this happened overnight. ah, well,

oh mac is that. that is fantastic. his juicy i want to came up with, but i don't know if that's a good idea. let's see. by get stuck. could have made quite a nice addition to the sculpture, just thinking they're going to come back tomorrow and flaming into bear in mind, the whole reason that they're doing this is to try and conserve that. when to melt was just like a kind of water battery charge of the winter. it moves in the spring i . we are losing our glaciers, for no fault of life would not have been possible at all in this as it had not been for the glacier. because he had his latest water from fins of thousands

of years ago to the right. and if they are gone, we will be done. and it will be real that with no light people in big city, if they live simply than people in the mountain. but simply live, and the sooner or later if you come to their own doorsteps. so we should be sensitive to see the 1st fine and men our ways ah, around the world sources of fresh water. dwindling and drowned is spreading. the investment bank, goldman sachs with cold water, the petroleum of the next century. yet it's already fueling tension on the industry, the system you downs built by india, a seen by rival pakistan. it's a threat to national security within india. anger boiled over in bangalore route in

2016 when the supreme court due to the state of connecticut to release water in the recovery into time. and i do and what is become a weapon of war in iraq and syria? i 2020 fun. 2 thirds of the world's population could be living the bought a shortage conflict type of water may be closer than think with jordan is one of the dries countries in the world with s bought a capita that almost anywhere else on climate change, population growth and politics of put on the already strained water supply on the fad, destroyed with the country recently suffering from its west trout and 900 years. it is now estimated to only have enough water was us to support 2000000 people. it has a population of over 6000000 with faulty pipes and plumbing contributing to the

crisis. i'm here to visit scheme, which is putting women at the heart efforts to combat this growing issue. here. eating water is severely rations in georgia and i, me to water expert, talk to rides and to be at one of the wells and my friends where people come to buy more water. so this is where people come when they run out of water. yes, this is the men, will you hear the gone to some so these guys, are they gonna sell the water? it to people or is this for them? are they buying it now? yeah, yeah. monica gladys of the product. so my. ready love it. good. oh, yeah. use abeline. i bought this new lenders to fin feminist, asked him to bring the water for them or fin feminist,

or did what we do is 60 to 80 liter which is equal joshua fine. on average. someone else in the world, this is well below the threshold, defining war to stress. and it's due to talk further in the coming normal people one out and then you can jordan, are we live with? why is the situation so bad with designing the syrians in the issues when it comes to what of she and we kind of thought i'll talk. i think personally the coming gordon that is going to be about 20, according to one study, the king to the supply fresh water is on tracks to be exhausted. is at least 2060. to make matters worse, around 50 percent of the war to distributed to houses across the country is lost through illegal tapping and faulty pipes. but a practical solution to these water issues has been developed in collaboration with the jordanian government. it's known as the war to wise women's initiative. this

course teaches women war to saving techniques and plumbing skills, and is supervised by x graduates with later the main talk. what happens as a full t o. the parts of the top need to come out in order, so then they can go back it or decide to from i can check them one by one. stunningly, the total loss to leakage is at least 76000000000 meters. enough to my, the needs is 2600000 people attaching the inlet into the tap and i gotta make sure it's very secure. okay, that's tight enough. okay, good. good. good. well, on a puddle. what made you want to go? and of course, i know yet it might have been a bit been with women specifically

being trained because in traditional middle eastern culture, the husband must be present for a male. tommy can visit a being able to fix the problem themselves. save them both time and fight, remove the $3000.00 women around the country landing from the sky. this initiative is making a big difference in some of the quantified or twice women got a job fixing the plumbing and i've been invited to join a piece of metal broken into the time. and if you have any to the water. so they've got to make sure that every drop of nominated water about the time they replace it with much more how long have you been a from a been so by the 1015. i love it because it's really, really helpful. if you can save something really expensive to us, if the wasn't yeah. oh i

the amount of the most is just checking that everything's done. i. i really kid. no. you ladies know what to take on the reef, signed off. it's time to head inside to complete the job. so basically in the abolition room where people come in and perform, maybe they wash before they pray. and the ladies are going to show me how to attach these to the top and they don't waste as much water help because of water. because it's small, it's hard tool. yeah. you have to focus. oh god, last night i failed at the 1st handle. my embarrassing when you go to people's houses and sometimes you find maybe some men who kind of don't like that as a female plumber come to their home. what do you say by j h i s and see if we can do

it or not. just give us a chance when they see a we are lydia self confidence with this. they look at us like, oh my god, maybe she can do it. how? ok, let's see. wow. yeah i was, i haven't done it very well. is leaking from the top. so yeah, i know. okay, so yeah, i think i need to stop now and lead professionals take over the work the will to wise women on doing is even more important now considering the impact the war in neighboring syria is having on jordan. around 2000000 refugees are being hosted in the country, increasing the weight of groundwater depletion. just 15 miles from my fat is saturday, refugee camp is huge. like a low city is $80000.00 showing a future living hand. just putting an incredible strain on jordans woods' supply,

getting water to the people living here is a massive logistical operation, carefully controlled with no pipe network. 58 trucks like this one distributed daily to 12000 times in the can. almost getting full when the water ones out. that's it. ah, pick me got a point of view. we have a bank account here that does not mean resides we live. so it's like we are we drawing every new one and weird because remember in showing the syrians managed their water russians is vital shock. machine is one of the camps, water promoters, educating the rescue, cheese on how best to conserve their water. the water heater for jordan eats and the quantity it's so small, so they need like an awareness session for them to improve the use it for the water . these awareness sessions to help refugees cope with limited supplies are held

here. thinking i know what would mel your medina come while i la vehicle are have been amen. does they on mold or that see the silicon might be a little higher and know if you can me a y n a local flat fee. that was e r e fema had the that let those. yeah. he camila will thought if he comes with a this is women here. sure out for more because they out of the then let's say the court for the family, they are responsible for everything. then the best way to manage their war to russian is fight will for these women, my actually voted better that this is what i'm as far as the lease is great. it's really good. the work we're doing have been trying to kind of reinforce message of how it is and how, how much we need to conserve it. 0, one refugee has been on the war to wise women's course. i mean, talk with suffer south korea who was now one of the initiatives most successful

women. she set up her own business and employs life on the female thomas and not as to the some i normally like to you to he give a not wilma is ease and know it. so the, as you don, when am i, because of the more you, the m and musty, ha, ha, ha, murphy, white, the need a, this was a and i also see now let's see any of us easiest on my la mama. no. so like as of right now, so with the meal info and that will suffer, will to education is essential. no less played out and muffled in miami, kofi y e kaski. i had a pot the last and then i went on and an army luncheon. i thought you m o bud that out. i'm how again young damage ah, it's clear that water shoot across the globe

a driving people to find creative and sustainable solutions. new designs such as this mesh like structure with european converting edge of pits to drink and other devices and looking to the power of the sun to help. so water issues in countries like equity and gone to the on to my horses are addressed waters guess to continue to spread its innovations like these provide hope that we can adapt in the meantime. ah, it's time for a memorable holiday with pegasus. it's time for jerky. set,

sail for new discoveries, enjoy. have new experiences. hit the shops, make wonderful memories. travel to turkey with pegasus, and with direct whites to istanbul, and tribe zone book your ticket now for a memorable holiday, c y p g. yes, more our best prices with you're locked into your weather update will begin this one in asia pacific there. thank you for joining in. so look at all that rain now. exiting south korea and pushing into japan. once again, this is an area that it's been saturated as of late central southern portions of honju. in the past, we've had some landside warnings in play, and i think we can expect to see much of that same that he's still on across the yangtze river valley temperatures in the forty's just to the south. some spots have

hit about 45 degrees. it's been going on for more than 60 days, and it's a washout as we look toward hong kong toward the west, over high net and same goes for indo china, very soggy forecast, especially from hanoi right through to being but same goes for her in city. right. through to bangkok on saturday, down under looking largely fine and dry across australia. it's just this southeast corner that we have some pesky showers hanging around. and it's brought in some cooler air to. so hobart, just a high of 11 degrees on saturday. that's slightly below where he should be for this time of the year. and just the other day across new south wales state we had a temperature spreads difference of about 30 degrees. good news for new zealand. the weather is finally starting to peter out as we get throughout the day on saturday. that sure update. take care ah unkindly, that cost rivers, drawing up and crops parched, could drought,

worse than europe's cost of living crisis. walter, delaying the global recovery in youth employment plus can the tale bomb fix have gas dad's economic crisis a year after they took power? counting the cost on the al jazeera. i care about how the u. s. engaging with the rest of the world. i cover foreign policy, national purity, this is a political impact here. the conflict, are we telling a good story? we're really interested in taking you into a place that you might not visit otherwise. and to actually feel as if you were there ah. ready ready ready this is al jazeera ah.
