is still shrouded in some confusion, but certainly it seems shots were fired. i have on what all this has escaped on this gave fall right policies in europe. i've seen a search in popularity in recent years. and although some all within your elections, but also struggling to full government and take power set, boston takes a deep look into this so called firewall against the fall, right? the freedom party in austria celebrating its election victory in early october. but it's the new consent, the right party, that is no task with forming a government in germany to fall right. alternative for germany. party want to state elections last month. but the body is excluded from coalition talks. when i know off the, if the you have to only get 10 to 15 percent of the nation of ocean, then they can continue to ignore us. but this won't be the case. the country is slowly waking up both in the east on the west, and we will get more votes. it will be impossible to continue to ignore the a of the is most popular among young voters age between $18.26. in an effort to

stop the rise of the far right below, make us have sought to the container to bend the ac, arguing the parties extreme is an unconstitutional. but us us skeptical. se, outlawing upon doesn't mean it's the fear in the file in the north of germany here. ok. your has organized protests against an asylum seekers center. used to vote and left, but it's now containing 40 a. if the main stream parties have disappointed me, i voted for the social democrats and the laughter, but they failed me. they've not brought the change. we needed many pensioners or living on $1000.00 euro is a month while a lot of money goes to asylum seekers. for some observers, european leaders adopting more restrictive migration policies is a direct result of fall right electoral success. as you can see that they shape the policy, but without even being, you know, in the government, it's just been this. tell them you can see everywhere. when somebody opened

countries they are part of the government. but even if they're not, they still uh, yeah, shape the policy agenda. but studies show that copy in style, right. ideas does not attract most oldest people to agree with empty immigration policies would rather fold for the original. and then some countries the original has managed to get into government and then that'll into the fall, right? freedom party over here to bill. this is leading to coalition, but he's been stopped from me coming prime minister, raising questions on how long year of the firewall against the fall, right, well, whole step 5 in elgin sierra building. well that's it from me sort of hide us. you can find more information, allow websites out 0 adults come. the news continues here with me again, off the phone lines, the in size, the content creators have become journalists, rescuers,

heroes, and targets to to customers. so when a visa comes to me and yet they continue to report the close of business, the story of just want us to be should be a let me know if it had been higher for the levels because on that just so you know, we travel to central mexico to meet the family of a man, went to work on a farm in the united states and never came back. he had died of heat stroke. his case was a start warning that is temperature sore. working outdoors is becoming more dangerous around the world. we say climate change as a multiply it triple symbols just really increases your chances of getting sicker. and of course, from here you can actually die. we've been tracking down stories of workers in the

us who lost their lives from exposure to extreme heat. in many cases, their names are not included. some articles about their depths. we reviewed medical examiners reports and police records to locate people. that's how we found the family of salvador garcia, speed the or the and the american may see it on the prism know that off. well maybe who can look backwards in columbus while you're out of there for the pick on ok. my, he now most go where that's why i called right out of the book and all those for the most likely withdraw. how are you today? good, etc. it's unclear exactly how many workers are dying in the us through the heat exposure. but the watchdog group, public citizen says it could be as high as 2000

a year. these workers are now having to ask themselves whether to go to work and risk their lives or stay home and sacrifice a patient. there are no federal, he protections for them. more than 30000000 outdoor workers in the united states in florida for salvador died active as have been pushing for years for more protections for workers. but they've been blocked by industry, trade groups, and republican politicians. why would you ask for the government to do more? we get paid by the hour, but when we want to take more breaks, we don't want to work so hard. on this episode of fault lines, we look at the danger of extreme heat for outdoor workers. i really think that we can all agree that we don't want people dying out in the fields. people should not go to work today. the,

this is the small village in central mexico, were salvador garcia speak you grew up. he and maria fell in love. this teenagers and got married a few years later in 2021. they welcome their 1st child isaac. they weren't financially stable yet for excited to start a family feedback all what's going know. so if somebody that and dollars and feels it go normally come what's going happen, all of the more of the outlet outcome always to do that is going on, make forget, guess that it would increase it became more difficult when their junk son isaac, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and needed specialized treatment and increase the pressure on salvatore's job at the local dairy plant. last, i visit on the west coast the so it'll go sort of it. i mean, it doesn't look at it on the, unless i'm,

they decided that salvador would get an each to a visa to travel temporarily to do farm labor in the united states where he could earn more money, get it before we get. i have a start date of some quarter, i guess is what any man see. can we have what it man e can oh or the can know for the community liaison. he was legally here by the united states government, his passport, everything was authorized. so everything was above board the say, like a, a, the, any say i left 30 that square, but apple, it compared may cnn, but uh, but us, we whole and then what about as far as like start at the way to get set up, but also you may want to sit down make, i'm in thought it was covered on monday. how they did that. in september of 2023. salvatore traveled here to south florida by boss to begin working to get trained to work on a tractor but began his assignment on top of the truck,

planting sugar cane. on his very 1st day, just a few hours into the job. he collapsed due to the heat. no, and call 911. and it was his co workers that drove them to a hospital and according to the department of labor, more than 50 percent of workers who die of heat related illnesses dying their 1st day. and more than 70 percent died during the 1st week. there are no requirements for employers to climate change their workers to get their bodies used to the environment. there should be a process where the person can adjust to the temperature, understand how much hydration is needed, and over 2 weeks get them a climate test. and not just i hire and you go to work. salvador was put on a breathing machine. and within 3 days, he had taken his last breath. he was 26 years old, the, according to the medical examiner's report, his kidneys failed,

and he died of heat stroke. this has the medical examiner's report for side, rather as he has to be the. and i was just wondering, you know, as a doctor, is there anything that stands out to you when you're looking at this for body temperature 109 degrees fahrenheit. that is shockey $109.00. that is shocking. that's we see the danger and the breaking down of all the oregon is by one. 07. and he's already at $1.00 oh $9.00. did he have to have a prior medical condition for his core body temperature to reach a 109? absolutely not young healthy people can die from each stroke. no other problems, and you're get exposed. you can die. love your bus. all right, let's see, i will notice mesa and we'll just but i won't. that's over to see them. yeah, i don't have that in front of me to see as well known as new episode, roberta 0 squared away in the same veteran. while while the i don't want to and

it's horrible tragedy. i mean, he came here to support his family. she would hope that someone would be checking on their workers a little bit more closely closely. there's a spot that people of color have been built to work outdoors that they thrive, working outdoors. and so there's this kind of mentality and some people that if you're a person of color, you can handle the heat around 75 percent of farm workers in the us for latino, extreme heat causes more depth than in the other weather related event in the us more than $1000.00 americans die every year from extreme heat for 2050. that figure is expected to rise to almost $60000.00 as a result of climate change. stories like solver doors are becoming more common across the united states. there been high profile incidents where outdoor workers

have to come to the heat. when someone has heat stroke, you're burning from the inside. your cooking from the inside, your brain is cooking away. your temperature internally is so high that the organ starting to fail, and you will have major shut down of the kit. these to heart have received this year, the bite, the ministration proposed, the 1st ever federal. he protections for workers including access to shade breaks in a climate as ation. the heat is expected to be challenged by industry, trade groups, and republicans in congress for the time being employers are only legally required to provide potable water. and sometimes we fall short on that. the workers that we talk to tell us that the often times do not have access to clean safe drinking water. they are not allowed to take regular rest breaks to seek shade to

cool down their bodies. florida is the hottest state in the us and leads the nation and he related illness. 5 years before salvador died, advocates for elder workers and immigrants trying to get the state to pass heat standards, including a training component that could have saved his life. we count farm workers association, florida, some responsible employers, all came together to introduce legislation that would have required outdoor employers to provide a 10 minute respirator every 2 hours of work. each time your effort was blocked by industry, trade associations, and republicans activists devise a different strategy to pass legislation to protect workers. in 2023, they decided to try to pass the heat protections locally in miami dade county,

the largest county in the state, and home to more than 300000 outer workers. we had hundreds about the workers speaking in support of this efforts. and really, you know, we were on track to pass the 1st county wide heat standard. in the united states, large trade associations, lobbied republican state legislators to intervene. the heat bill didn't pass. republicans pushed through a different law blocking local governments from establishing he protections for workers. florida lawmakers passed to build the session that would outlaw local mandates, meant to protect workers from extreme heat. they went into effect on july 2024. so at the last minute, when the state stepped in and blocked the efforts of miami dade county, how does that feel? our members really felt defeated. this wasn't an issue about, you know, left wing right way. it was more of an issue about right versus wrong. and it was

very disappointing to see that the state handicapped our local cities and counties ability to take action on this issue. a similar strategy was utilized in texas, where republicans passed a similar bill that prevented local municipalities from an acting protections. it's in human and it's, it's a horrible bill and it's a shame that the government passed this kind of bill not for the people, but instead for the employers. i've been farming for over 40 years. so i'm an a business man and an employer, and we need more business people running for public office. i don't like donald trump, like rick ross cosponsored, the bill pre empting, miami dade county. he also represents belk lane. the city were salvador sp, the are collapsed in the field. is there something wrong with mandating a 10 minute water break every 2 hours to mandate it?

yes, i do think is wrong. we don't want local governments send in their own standards. it's not, it's not the local governments job. should the state of florida pass heat protections for outdoor workers. here's my thought on that because i do a lot of research on climate change and other factors. my knowledge base says know that and things are not changed that dramatically. like them news media want you to believe that we're going through a cataclysmic temperature increase, even if there was a, the hottest day recorded on planet earth was just the other day. i mean, and that we know is just the fact i think it's overboard. do you have sympathy for these workers and for what they're asking for? yes, of course i do have some of the the, they would like to have easier working conditions. that doesn't surprise me. why would you ask for the government to do more? hey, we don't want to work so hard. we want to take breaks. we get paid by the hour,

but when we want to take more breaks, we don't want to work so hard. i would challenge representative ross to come spend the day as a former, to spend 8 hours in triple digit temperatures. these workers are not asking for more breaks. they're asking for the right to suffice. roofing prefer energy. i mean that's those people have steam coming off of their body after one thing outside for hours. you know, i don't know that i want to be a roof or that's, that's pretty tough. i'm sure they get water breaks. you're asking me the same question 3 different ways. this is i may as well they're, they're just right now. it's the same answer. the same is or is that's the responsibility of the employer. but if the employer isn't doing that, then what? i guess you have to go work for somebody else. we have bad history on valley belly and the lives of farm workers that trace back to when people were in sleep. dr

roxanne and chico's has spent nearly a decade studying the impact of extreme heat on farm workers. as the hotel workers have the highest rate of heat related mortality, $35.00 times more risk than any other occupational group. what is the long term impact that the heat has on the workers? and we know that once someone has a cube, ginny injury, they are risk for developing chronic kidney disease. part of her work that's collecting data on the body temperature farm workers throughout the day. she hopes this work will educate lawmakers about the dangers of heat exposure. we accompanied her to a fern or e in north florida, where they grow. the cream leaves that go and flour bouquets. pardon me, workers. they work out doors, but they work underneath this black mass. sometimes people think that the, the master is there to protect the workers to give good shape, but it's not, it's for the protection of the firm because the firm cannot get direct sunlight.

lorenzo not a silly escalade or we're wired with heat sensors before they went to work. they have to bunch together around 20 leaves and get paid roughly $0.50 for each bundle . the workers also work really fast, because that, sorry, please to get on a truck. if it doesn't get to the cooling warehouse within 2 to 3 hours, it starts to weather away, and they don't get paid for that bunch. cindy, similar to the noise, does go to come with the sort of thinking the same thing. we took them look at a bunch of them, which we could also do research get by the way that the had point us as a a for to see if that multiple group was a couple of years ago. not special in the office, but i'm very like, i just want to get my mutual. i mean look this up, it's 11 again, i'm going to spell it says skin temperature and it was 37.85, which is and that's in celsius in fahrenheit. that would be about

a $100.00. i couldn't see you had to take it down. this might sound this my yeah. a little because since before this is this to the keep it on the i c k can, can you know what that kind of to come up? so they're working with a fever, but no exception. and they have very much the same symptoms that you and i happen. we have a fever, print, headaches, sometimes they may feel nauseous. roxanne and her team analyze blood and urine samples. they take their vital signs as the workers questions about how they're feeling and share the results with them. and um, i get any of the stuff that i like, everything that's out of it. and it says, you know, of course they, they see that, that i'm being of seek of those. that is a lot of which i, which i was that on through the, the husband has diabetes and she was right up the cost of pre diabetes. so i will

know fair sort of thing. that is yes. look at also think most but as mrs, as will see, they send you as to what your point of what a young the choice of that and many of the screen feet in. okay, well a cleaning. the husband reported that they, that he went to a clinic, but that he didn't take his medicine. he that he would go back, see where you look at it. let's give this is definitely at a higher risk of heat stroke. so let's see. that is one of those things before this because they push themselves, they think that they can withstand the sheets and they can keep going. but someone like him has diabetes. that's. that's dangerous to continue to work like that. what do you anticipate seeing with the health? cuz outdoor workforce, as temperatures keep rising, as the temperatures rise, i'm very concerned about a workers health, you know,

when we have state governments that are pushing back staffing, local counties for protecting their workers. to me, that's just on thinkable. because they are so essential to our economy, to our society, to our culture receipts a lot of 66 people with dying, but kind of gateways. people don't understand what one actual value of one life costs. jonathan vasquez has worked as a roofer in south florida for more than a decade along with his younger brother wilmer. what is a sheet like working on a roof tops to me is have you ever opened up a furnace like the oven? and he felt that he, you know, not only for like, 2 seconds, but for like 14 hours a day. a lot of is when he touched the tiles, it burns her hands touch a single, say, banks and hands. and it's assessed measurable in august of 2023. the hardest to be

on record. wilmer felt sick after working outside for hours and started experiencing severe he cramps. then i seen his eyes. it went from brown to white. that was my mom and like he's not coming back from this room or died the next day. it just 29 years old. so any time i've acquired about a was, went out the hospital, the doctor let my mom know, just seeing my mom's face. to me, i know i went into a deep depression because of it. i don't think no mother should have to bear hit her son. the only thing is worried about his own health moving forward and without any form of protection, he thinks employers will take advantage of workers. i had some, uh, employers cost some of these people monkeys, you know, like they don't see them as uh, as uh, as humans, if they're not human and i have to treat them like human face, human animal moving their product. reality is here in america's he's paying bills,

trying to get by every single week. as for salvador, his case after his death, the federal government investigated the company that hired him. mcneal, labor management, the government investigation. so the employer could have prevented his death by implementing safety rules to protect workers from heat related hazards. in other words, salvatore's death was preventable. the company is contesting government fines. the total roughly $27000.00. we were able to reach the owner of mcneal labor management on his cell phone. hello. he gave us permission to record the call. oh hi. sheila mcneil mcneil accept responsibility for salvador is 50 as death x, because like some of the people, nobody's ever the real problems in many,

many years. some people are healthy and that's where these really just. yeah, i mean, he was, he was 26 years old though, and the, the documents that, that we saw from the medical examiner did not list any kind of preexisting condition. the family told us, he did not have a preexisting condition. it seems like he, he's to come to a heat stroke. you know, it's possible, like i said, it's something else because, you know, nobody else got sick. you would accept no responsibility for his death. if you find that he didn't have any sort of prior health conditions was their responsibility because you things happen to people getting controls and we did everything. right. you know, i know you're saying you all did everything right. but a man did die here. yes. do you think that there should be protections for workers on the local level or other state wide level even on the federal level? because at the moment there are none. you know, there's not any of the problem with it though i'm doing the guidelines. why do you think that other employers do not want these protections passed?

just because they to cut their production. i hear you saying you, you guys did everything you did, you could do to, to prevent this death from happening. but does that mean that a death like salvatore's is inevitable? i don't understand which one our space is ending. it of it. does that mean that you anticipate that there are more workers that are going to die from the heat? this is very possible in the us are just, you was, were main people to work the it gets when you have to get them this year for the cit. echo will thing. they don't that that's a problem and i know you know, and that's where you go here. so for the 2 of us that out of the easy peasy inside of it all

the way i said that you for that for me, let me look in this. is he put a gomez? again, as i say, what else? the me, you go up what the normal or no the maybe say go in the portable see it when item being not, you can record this. maria shared with us her final text messages with her husband the night before. he started his new job in a pony cl mod low set. get this watch. so some which you guys don't that maybe say with windows and what to someone. yeah, i mean boy, i don't know. mucous dancing, last home. the use of the way a yes it for a do you want me to? gosh, the

maria filed the workers compensation lawsuit, and she was able to receive a lot of settlements for salvatore's family. though his death leaves keeping whole and their lives, the need to know what the new provider, the government, what do you have on the plan? the, the, the limits of a whole, we bought the black fellows currently, i know the

research chemicals, dangerous new performance enhancing drugs. i was using a bottle of day, which is 5 milligrams because there's no dosing protocols marketed to teenagers by fitness, influenza, as i'm young. and i'm on this one is very dangerous. it's a while west full times investigates, the lack of regulation to stop their spread. and the too often fatal consequences. and just because you feel, how does it mean they're always muscle, inc, on a jersey to interrogate the narrative, there's no question about the united states is effectively complicit the genocide challenge the rhetoric yet say look the correct. but so is the international community upfront. only what, how does it, there are some of the media stories,

a critical look at the global news media on how to 0 government shut off access to social media. the the, there's no limit to how far a dream contains sta in your own adventure, no. counter arrange the midst of how much is happening

there's no question why have limits like this len denise. this call on it's area of relief foundation the . ready is rose genocide will violence and gauze the kills? 53, palestinian not in school. sheltering. displaced people is it's the hello on sort of fight of this is officer alive from the how also coming up on the program. israel's defense minister says it's time for painful concessions relief tops is held in garza, the sci fi to resume in the category capital. so it's radio strikes and southern level.
