think shows that in news goes like it was what and the spread this will this fall from over with detailed coverage, given the lack of international up for it would be up to a residence, a 5 been to defend their very existence in their land from the hoss of the story were not passion for through this something that helped her serve by the daily life . it's a distraction and from what she has witnessed her couldn't read through the caribbean causing devastation, but allow me to. i'm on climate sorry. it is the fastest and earliest ever atlantic storm a direct result of global warming x. but say, why is this storm closing so much concerned? this is inside the store. the

other very welcome to the program on the clock. a storm like know of, that's how her can barrel is being described. does it boxes the current being, it's less devastation in destruction in this way can, more is expected warnings about climate change in global warming? all reported daily and media right around the world. but this storms, timing, it's speed and it's intensity, is causing concern among scientists globally. we'll find out more about space, the local, and the wider impact to park and barrel later in the program with i guess i will take a closer look at the science behind this particular storm without seeing image urologist wrote mccully. but 1st, let's have this report from mickelson. sure. see how the king bed room is breaking records as a test to the caribbean? it may land phone on for now does kind of go on and on monday. so happening about 90 percent of homes. it's the strongest storm to hit the southeast and creeping into decades to see this level of disruption. it is almost,

i'm gonna give you like almost total damage of disruption of all buildings, whether the public buildings, homes, or the private facilities. there is almost complete destruction of the electric field grid system. in part the entire communication system is completely destroyed. some people who will stay homes on union island, a tiny copeland descend vinson and from the dean's occupying the go, arrived in the jamaican capital with tales of what it was like in the middle of the stone. i saw right in a, in my tight area because the top yeah. it was a hot for all was want to the account movie. we just have a lot of different solutions that is, are you don't like if it isn't a mess. on tuesday, every week into a category full stone would remain destructive across the region from the dominican

republic. to ken coon in mexico, people rushed to stoke up and take shelter. or in venezuela, the stone brought heavy rains to the northern state of sioux cree under the bust. it's bank trickling, plumps separately. people have died of being reported missing or to me, gus, off at the bottom. there are 8000 houses with various levels of damage. we've already responded with this and civil protection teams are working with the army to document the damage on they told me at least 400 houses are completely lost. beverly is the 1st target king of the accounting season, and the earliest on, on recall to be classified as the maximum catch, 5 national weather service planes up trying to gather data to understand more about barrels intensity and structure. side to side, mind me trying to change for the stones rapids friends name and the warnings of an

extra or movie season, the head of consume sherry, i'll just see the inside story. so what is the science behind this stallman what might just happen next to explain, has all seen and mutual interest from mccully to barrow is a note with a major hurricane you or do this, this much, that from the point of view of what it looks like from space is huge, it goes from the coast of its way to right to be on by now. since since it lose you both of which find the effects quite unpleasant, but the devastation was near the eye. it's a beautiful lie near grenada. now in september we think this is a major hurricane happens every 120 years or so. and not surprising, but it's july and there's the worry. it's a unique storm. it phoned in june became in 24 hours a category full hurricane. that's what happened or so that's the earliest category, 5 in july with winds. well an excessive 250 calories probably should have that categorized. it's the wins just around the inside of the on the strongest when

they're in the category 6. so category 5, just go up and up as the storms get worse. now barrels of course is fed like every tropical storm by the rooms off the surface water as it is warmer in the atlantic. and the kind of being by 2 or 3 degrees above for long to navigate. this isn't going to change. it might even get worse, might get warm and still. so you're sitting more energy for every storm that forms, hence, variable early on to major. and that will still getting, bouncing through the car being, which is warmer than normal pos jamaica still is a category for still slowly losing energy as it goes further west, admittedly. but what does this say for out of season? while in fact, the season was already full cost to be rather west than normal, could have up to $25.00 names. storms. what about the average? maybe 7 major hurricanes. that's a category 3 or above the average of 3. we've had one already on the drive as ours, you know the warm of water, which is

a very web it's certainly in the hurricane pods. and let me in here, which is the pendulum swing almost the opposite of el nino, it just adds more input to. so the conditions are right for a very nasty season and you see how it started. all right, let's take this all we can bring and i'll guess none, orlando in florida, it's daniel guilford. he's let me draw just an atmospheric scientist who focuses on how climate change effects harkins heats and local communities for mary. a. p a is in bridgetown in barbados, which is just being dotted indeed by heart and barrow. and she's the caribbean delegation spokes person for the international federation of the red cross and red crescent societies. and take the technical lead on evolving crises and dissolve this. and you have sonya is in manila, he's the southeast asia, executive director greene pace. and a former climate negotiator for the philippines. government will welcome to own of you. let's go straight to the region festival red ram area. yeah. you all to

pulling red cross personnel to get in and try and help with this catastrophic situation. well, it's all your eye witnesses saying about the severity of this hurricane is so good morning. good afternoon. i'm good evening to or you'll view us. i'm re se, and bobby this bridge down and i rather the so what's the probably again population on sunday into monday morning in bridgestone and bobby, to the devastation on the south coast. in particular was immense. i mean, over 200 and drive the fishing vessels have been destroyed on 20, both found. there was major damage to the pose of bridgestone. and then we also had damage to the fisheries industry. but even that synopsis pales in comparison to what we're seeing in grenada, we have red cross staff and volunteer station in bonita. and i mean to live through that. if the job was beasen is immense. as the sole area on any program

type who has been completely do, matthew, that 98 percent of an island is gone. the communications don't carry a cost still down. people still trying to make contact with their friends and their families. every building has not gone on touched. i mean that's just to we have it's countries that are in the process barren. i mean it's, it's amazing to think about the, the structure, langley that was the sun and you know, and i live in st. vincent on the ground, it begins the communications are still down, the airport has been law schools, churches, the me and hospital all destroyed. and it's, it's keeping going as we speak, hurricane borrow would be impacting jamica. and the point is right. uh, we must absolutely emphasize here, is that just how early this is come in the season, and what is it to be a very severe harcum season?

i mean, it's july. the main part of the hurricane season, typically in the caribbean, is around september into november. maybe the beginning of october, that's quite so easily. we have, we have mobile. so look forward to if we really take a look at the forecast, and we have to think about what these constant impacts on the region having. it's the 1st still of the season and it has gone through 8 countries, the projected to go through each country sofa. is this really what we need to expect for the next few months in the region? okay, well that's also that question now to daniel guilford. i know you grew up on the floor of the coast. i understand not so far from the curb in the gruff observing a big stones, barreling in, at, as a climate scientist. now you also have deep knowledge of the climate systems. now we have as read was just saying the are these kinds of re 5. how can ever, how surprised all you at this and how concerned all you full the season?

the head yeah, well hurricanes are kind of like giant sheet engines. they take energy from the ocean on the surface, kind of like what brought mentioned earlier, and they converted into is and they take it as fuel converted into wind speed. and so what we're seeing out there in the atlantic right now are very warm sea surface temperatures. unseasonably warm. as you mentioned earlier, these conditions are kind of like what you would expect in september. and so these hurt this hurricane barrow that is moving through is releasing conditions that are unlike anything we've ever seen before. this unprecedented total on the storm is having unprecedented impacts and we are quite concerned, you know, it is only just a lie and we're seeing september like impacts. and so what does this mean for the rest of the season? certainly the sea surface temperatures out there are remaining warm as long as african ways the sort of disturbances in the atmosphere keep rolling off the african coast. we and were you going to have those warm waters and there's plenty of fuel available for these storms to sort of develop and then begin to grow. and

so we are certainly concerned that in line with many of their predictions out of the national oceanic and atmospheric administration and other other groups that have made predictions about the season that it will be an extremely active one. and that this is probably the end of the 2020 for hurricane season. it's actually just the beginning. so we are concerned about what these impacts are. and we just are very cognizant that if you're along one of the coast lines in the caribbean or the golf or the even the eastern seaboard united states. and this is going to be a time where you need to pay careful attention to what's happening in the tropics. done to just just take this on a little bit further. you say that the booming ocean is the driver of this, of these hurricanes. why is it the warm ration temperatures, fuel harkins and big storms and cycling? oh yeah, that's a wonderful question. so a hurricane is almost like the engine in your car. as you push down the accelerator

fuel comes into your engine and starts and make it turn into and speed up and, and then a hurricane is very similar and you get some sort of fuel source and on our planet that fuel source is the warm ocean temperatures. we see we're seeing more motion temperatures that are quite a bit warmer than we would have seen this time of year in the past year is that there's something like 2 degrees celsius warmer and this can have big impacts and these hurricane because you add more fuel to them they can spend faster and faster, they have that opportunity to grow into. the real monster is like the hurricane barrel that we're seeing right now. and so that fuel source is sticking around. those warm ocean temperatures aren't going anywhere to season. and so we expect these hurricanes as they begin to develop ins area. they can see that fuel source, they can take advantage of it, take that tensile energy that is stored in the ocean, and converting to kinetic energy in the form of wins that can really provide a lot of the damages that we're seeing right now. it's in, in, in the region,

and so as we think about what's going to be happening going forward, a lot of this heat, as i've mentioned, is here to stay. government change has sort of attract more energy in the earth in your atmosphere. that energy eventually gets down into the ocean surface, which then provides a lot of work for these storms. be able to fuel up with. uh, so this is something that is a major concern for only. i mean, it's quite interesting with humans and sorry to jump here. so i'm going to be looking at where it's kind of changed as being fuel by fossil fuel emissions credit and kind of kind of blanket around the. yep. sonya so what's being experienced in the car being now is experienced appearance right around the world. very familiar seeing of course in the philippines where you uh, what are your thoughts about what we're seeing in the car being in the context of the west and the effects of climate change, especially in the philippines. the yes. just watching the news coverage. i'm listening for radio right now is certainly recommended send both of the serious some of the best 3 things paula says,

we have seen for the past many years and certainly the one that gave my home found in the monthly piece of advice when i on in 2013 and support fife. wonder i just 3 years ago which indicates for us the most of these 5 boys have become more disruptive and caring so much in 1050 meant it aligns with one of the intergovernmental panel. busy on climate change, just saying around the more frequency of category $3.00 to $5.00 tropical storms. and that's very worrying. and i can only imagine the suffering that's happening in the caribbean. right now. i've seen it with my own eyes here where we live and, and i can only really sympathize and, and, and pray for the best for those who are still struggling to. ready pick up the pieces and, and racing against time to save lines and homes to 3. what are the global

discussions around climate change in relation to harkins like this? a of the voices of those countries like those in the car, been deed in the philippines of the pacific. and those countries in the, in the costs has of climate crises like these. all those voices being heard. i think situation like this for us caribbean voice has to be heard. how many more barrels are we going to have to live through? we have gone through hurricane maria, and a month and 2017. behind hurricane dorian in 2019. no way here again. with hurricane barrow as the strong this hurricane to hit the region in 20 is this early on? it forces the conversation. we are at the forefront of the crime with crisis when no longer i because of the crime with crisis, we are living and breathing is experiencing it. every single the, our lives on livelihoods of being impacted. i mean, how do we quantity 5 so be to how much that we've seen. how do we quantify 98

percent of an island being destroyed and it's not only one, it's more than one. we've seen it in carrier who is seeing it in st. vincent the impacts in bobbie, the in saint lucia in jamaica. and dominic, the internal guidance will be on the list goes on. how long does the list have to grew? before we take action? before we release, talk to listen to, to the voices of people who act before friends of this kind with crisis, we need to have more spaces. so our voice has to be amplified and all voice has to be heard. because how long are we expected to suffer the consequences of the crime with crisis when we, when you come to be less than 10 percent, to global copland emissions? yeah, i give it to you what, what are your thoughts? so one of the biggest challenges we face in terms of finds the last things that we chose to define if prices,

if obviously some of the fossil fuel industry sense of the bar above this prices. and the slowness by which international, the international community and nations, big, serious, i'm beatrice options offer at this price and swap. we're seeing right now are examples of what we've been seeing it to happen in the future. if we do do not apps urgently on despite this and, and what we haven't seen, those are very difficult in this international negotiations is, is of course the best. but the answer is that lie behind that. this is big issue. busy also want to mention that the tricky part about storms when we're talking about define advisors. if it's only been more reason that the, the scientific community has made a very category called the climate change is driving mines in pens, farms, and then they can be just pretty big the reason. so that's why the science of pac

abuse on being able to push the political boundaries around. finally, adoption has not been seen in recent times. and i think all of this extra assignment, extremes that are happening along with the world right now. and i just farms levels on heat waves should compel leaders to take action. daniel, the thing is that you say you have always climb the stream is going on like a hurricane barrow bits. meanwhile, develop nations continue to subsidize fossil fuels to the june of trillions of dollars. yeah, there's no real incentive for big oil, big gas to ease production. but if we continue to wilma planets in the way that we are doing, what does it mean for these weather events that are already reaching extreme? the yeah, the climate system is going to respond in turn right, is a more fossil fuels will mean that the temperature of the plant and it will continue to rise. and as the temperature of the planet rises,

these impacts like proceeding stream heat, hurricanes like hurricane barrel, which has being impacted already right now by climate change will continue to be impacted by many changes here. right now there's an impacting us, uh, in real ways real lives are being affected by the storms. so it is critical that we come together and work toward solutions to, to sort of solve the, the, the climate change problem that we are all collectively in the world, dealing with it. and these things are expected to not change. we're going to have this heat with us for a long time. so in addition to mitigating our impacts, we're also going to added that and change the way we live our lives to protect ourselves from the worst of impacts. so it's really important, we continue to have conversations with anyone and everyone who lives in that climate changes here. it's happening and we need to do everything we can to reduce that's and we've done. we've been having those conversations for your 20 years and more going back in time and and action is not happening fast enough.

that's right. we need to make it immediate changes right now. and one of the challenges i think is sometimes the climate change can be a little abstract. it's far away. maybe it's in somewhere else. but climate change we can see through hurricane barrel extreme heat way is the spring flooding we've been seeing around the world. it is happening right now. it's no longer an abstract thing. as we just mentioned, we now have this science to point to particular events and say this was made worse by climate change. or this intense event was made more likely because of climate change. the science supports that, and so what we need to really be doing is making, having our policy support solutions towards reducing our climate emissions and the climate impacts hopefully going forward. we're looking at pitches just a 2nd to go over the pass agreement at crossing the line. back in 2015, which is almost 10 years ago, where there's been

a ross of elections across the world this year. yet the climate crisis has hardly been on the agenda. north of the u. k. daughter of the united states governments clearly believe it's not a vote. when i look at the end of the day, it is a hot topic issue. i think people necessarily don't want to, as they say, put the head in a block for what is being described as donald, just that abstracts thoughts. but it's not abstract too. it's so we are living in a really, it's a reality and we need to focus on the reality. we need to focus on accountability because the crime with crisis was not started by small island developing states. but we need to ensure that we protect the most vulnerable in our communities, who are the footprints of this kind of crisis. we need to maybe stop being a little so politically correct about it. and we actually meet as he said, the conversation has been going on for 20 is the time to take action was not, no,

it was then. what do you mean by letting the politically correct from nissan point of we need to tackle the issues of hands on me. so talk of the issues in front of us. we need to take the well overall eyes off. we need to bring next spaces like this. do bring a lot more awareness on clarity and vision to what is happening in these countries that are being affected by climate change and put of human elements. and because of the human element that stuff is the most and is the one of the month that needs to support, as i've called the accent in terms of the policies i'm making, the policies are reality. because if we continue to sits on our hands, we're going to continue to have more barrels. we're going to continue to have more dorians are going to continue to have most of the phones. and we really need to start putting the human agend at the full front on the humanitarian agenda at the

forefront to protect the life livelihoods, of people who are routinely impacted every single season by okay, these be super. so 3, i'm going to move on because we're gonna go 3 or 4 minutes left and i want to come to both of our other guests that yep. festival. and you mentioned the price s. how do we make that a more meaningful? and the question is, isn't the mechanism itself broken? the un framework itself is, is just not working. there are certain indications, stuff. we need to put pressure on the international process. it this i wouldn't, i would agree with you a little bit broken, but it's our best option right now in terms of getting old countries of the. ready uh, the concrete towards meaningful solutions for the climate crises. i would say every politician will doesn't talk about climate change based on the wrong side of the

piece 3. and we will keep exposing the so our leaders who, who are not addressing and confronting, describes just like they should some prices, it's daniel, despite of the renewable energy is gaining ground. there is a growing demand, especially from use movements around the world to change. it's not too late, is it? it's not too late. you know that the fact that we're dealing with barrels as of the impacts some impacts are already with us. but there's sort of a range of what impacts we could be seeing in the future. and if we reduce our, our fossil fuel emissions, our greenhouse gas emissions right now, we can sort of mitigate and reduce those impacts that we're going to be seeing going forward. and this is really good evidence what's happening with barrel right now is really get evidence that the climate system is already responding to the decisions we make. so that's actually kind of an interesting story because it says that the decisions we make right now will affect going forward. and so it is

critical that this moment we have these conversations, we continued connect, what we see happening in the real world to the decisions we are making about how we admit things, how we produce our energy. and it's critical that we think about that in this moment and make the decisions going forward that will be the product, both ourselves and future generations. yeah, if you have what, it's on both sides of the fence from negotiating a to activism at this point in time. where, where do you find hype? do you truly believe that we will get out of this? so, oh, there are days when we confront the article and it's like everything buried in the deep sewage. just really thoughtfully plus start and, and seem to go. but we have to wake up each morning with hope and hope is stronger than fear. and therefore, we should just keep believing that another world is possible that we can make this happen. we can make that just energy accreditation, possible in our generation,

and then create a world that it's just if it's safe and that that, that, that is meaningfully incredible for everybody. this is, uh, this is about just as be somebody, fairness, those are suffering from the most adverse impacts of defined advice as our goal is to keep it said the least to this problem. and therefore, if we have any faith in your mind, if the site is facing your mind, if you that we will be able to find just based uh and, and, and resolve of this crisis. one simple, let's finish and the region rear. at this difficult point in time for the car been, it must be hard to find any optimism. a tool is new what, what are you thinking about the is a head and how we tackle this crisis? well, i still agree with what yeah, inside. we can't, we can't allow ourselves to things like that. we have to be optimistic about the future. we have to work with the organizations like the red cross to support the

community development and community building efforts at that level. because the communities, all very 1st responders, so we need to invest in community resilience, bellingham, community preparedness, so that we know what to do, and we knew how to adapt. i'm able to sort of chat the cost, followed for the future. we need to understand the risk of the relatives a lot better so that we are able to plan and prepare for them. and we have to do that with an open mind with an open spirit to be able to accept the hope that's going forward. because in the caribbean, we are refusing to accept that this is going to be the be all and or for us, we need to be able to be more resilient. and in order to do that, we have to have a positive outlook on the future. right? as i say when, if not now we'll have to leave it the thanks. so i guess daniel guilford,

a written buddy. yeah. and another if you have a center. thank you very much and thank you to you for watching. you can see our programs again at any time by visiting a website out there at the. com. and to continue the conversation. just go to our facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash ha inside story. could also find us on x a handle. is that a side story for me in the cloud and the whole team here? it's goodbye the it didn't services can be the difference between life and death. but here in gaza, the lives of paramedics are also endangered. the son is one of those who was detained. he says his rescue team was this actuating to inject from a hospitals and they were stopped around the lenses we intercepted despite

coordination with the palestinian with chris, and they stripped us of our clothes, treated us members. terrific way of the war was supposed to prove him deadly for those attempting to save flies. one of the medical workers to lose their lives was had to shut out with the direction of. i'm getting an emergency. he was killed during a strike on the clinic in the city. the house ministry described him as a solid model of successive and determination. but the high chips in prison, some like so they have son is he would continue working to see colors to wheels unless it's raining some bye thing to count the french colonial propaganda. a jew is liberation army recruited yugoslavia is, find this camera man to join the struggle and seize control of the narrative. decades later, a trove of unseen archive is uncovered. the great the images of the minds behind the lens now monitored for the contributions to jerry is independence. sending

a release of with this documentary on the you want to over there with me. so robin and the reminder of all the top news stories has the law sol, as is of told out, is era that they find a mix of $200.00 rockets and explosive dry and some southern lebanon. but separately certainly military positions across the board. it is the 2nd day rockets have been launched as a bank has moved from southern level and below have said that they've launched around 250000 rockets since yesterday. we also understand that they've launched a quadrant. i'm drones, they say again, 7 is really military sites and we also understand that the ministries and actually

vehicles was hit and the soldiers amongst those engines now that those strikes continue.
