parts of the way, but she says the season is bad. so close that out is terrible. the what's actually, what did you with, if you train, maybe things will be better. the city council says it will continue limiting supplies to conserve water. know my probably more, you must wait a few more days before she receives. so weekly lesson. how did with us out of there, fly to summit go now we have more than 80 percent of historic sentiments, lab band and then the capital. but now the countries food industry is trying to revive these cultural icons across hoc reports and. 0 in an alleyway in a decor suburb, in a small open air, send him a club lights up the night. it's blowing an old african classic cellar. the story of a powerful type code who has become a cursed, desperate to lift this bell, he becomes blowing to is own greed and those he's wrong. the film is 8 sharp critique of post independence,

african leadership. a story that still resonates today. the young people see themselves in this story. it might be sought in 1973, but it's a timeless piece. but to make a movie like this today would be very difficult, almost impossible because there isn't the money nor the space decatur for this type of story. telling nearly every movie theater in the senegalese capital has gone dark, including the same elements sewer. now a late night supermarket, african narratives have become dominated by series that can be streamed easily on phones or cheap to produce and quick to get cliques. but for the owner of the medina sending by the drone out, independent african voices, i believe that you have some talents, may not frequency know, but people don't know the african movies as a potential. you have to be able to use that to solutions or just to abuse and they're going to be around public and movies at the car is new international acting school. the future stars of the silver screen are selected from across the french

speaking world, drawn by a style of performance found only here, and you voice in francophone, send them. i feel people here are much more thoughtful and focused on the work, but they do it in an open and approachable way. it brings us, perhaps this feeling of being freed from the way others look at a drone to the big screen. these young people hope to catch a glimpse of their lives in the flicker of an old film, proving that streaming definitely has not killed the movie story in senegal. nicholas hawk algae 0 buffalo, things like that for me. more information, of course, on websites. how does that come? there it is. the news continues here, after lunch inspection, and thanks for watching the

onboard. china is blast fishing thing. evidence of human rights abuses is widespread trafficking wage that occurred on the black people starving death on land. it's a legs we goes or forced to work in c food processing units, obligations. china denied one. 0, one east investigating some china slaves, fishermen. oh no. just 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 is a start warning, there is temperature, sor, working outdoors is becoming more dangerous around the world. we say climate change as a threat, 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 salvatore garcia. expedia was in the american may see it on the prism that off. well maybe who can look back on the well yeah, like what the heck on thing. 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 to 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 peach. 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, pushing that sort of work to die. 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 the more of the outlet outcome always to do that. it going, i mean, forget, get started, would increase it became more difficult when they're young. son isaac was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and needed specialized treatment. increase the pressure on salvatore's job at the local dairy plant. last that i visit on the west coast office and it goes to another. i mean, it doesn't look at it on the, unless i'm the decided that salvador would, can each to a visa, to travel temporarily to do farm labor in the united states where he could earn

more money. good boy, good. i have a start date of some quarter, i guess is what any man see. can we have we rent a demo or that 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 had completed may cnn, but a, but us, we whole and of course, all right, as far as expert, that's the way to get set up. but i'll see me when i sit down they come in, so it will start on monday and how they did that. in september of 2023. salvatore traveled here to south florida by boss to begin working. he had 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 climb and change their workers to get their bodies used to be 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. 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 laser and we'll just, but i won't, that's over to series danielle, i don't have that in front of me. let's see as well now, is maybe up us out of about a 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. 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 americans die every year from extreme heat, by 2050, that figure is expected to rise to almost 60000 as a result of climate change. stories like salvatore's 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 start to fail, and you will have major shut down of the kit. these to heart have received this year, the by the ministration proposed. the 1st ever federal. he protections for workers, including access to shade breaks in a climate type zation, the heat it's 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 they 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 outdoor workers and immigrants trying to get the state to pass heed standards, including a training component. it could have saved his life. we count farm workers association, florida, some responsible employers, all came together to introduce legislation that what is required, outdoor employers to provide a 10 minute respirator every 2 hours of work each time their 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 he protections locally in miami, dade county, the largest county in the state, and home to more than 300000 outdoor workers. we had hundreds of back to workers

speaking and support of this effort. 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 law makers pass 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,

the ability to take action on this issue. a similar strategy was utilized in texas, were republicans past a similar bill that prevented local municipalities from enacting 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 of environment for over 40 years. so i'm in a business manner 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 preempting miami dade county. he also represents bell quaint, the city where salvador sepia 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 setting 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, cause 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 they, they would like to have easier working conditions. that doesn't surprise me. why wouldn't 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 brakes. 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. um, should they get water breaks? your asked me the same question 3 different ways. this is not available there. are, there are different notes the same answer. the same it 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 valley in the lives of farm workers that trace back to when people were in sleep a dr. roxanne, a chico's has spent nearly a decade studying the impact of extreme heat on the farm workers. agricultural

workers have the highest rate of heat related mortality. 35 times more risk than any other occupational group. what is the long term impact of the heat has on the workers? then we know that once someone has a cube, jenny 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, we'll educate lawmakers about the dangers of heat exposure. we accompanied her to a furniture in north florida where they grow the green leaves that go in flower bouquets. pardon me, workers. they work out doors, but they work underneath this black mesh. sometimes people think that the, the mash is there to protect the workers to give them 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 firing needs to get on a truck. if it doesn't get to the clean warehouse within 2 to 3 hours, it starts to weather away and they don't get paid for that bunch to kind of order assembling for this route to come with the testing. you know, same thing. we took a look at the bottom, which we could also do research get by the way that the head when the status of your for to see if that multiple group was a little bit ago. no special on the start. i'm a little baby like i was supposed to get my mutual, i mean look this and, and there's a lot of the game i'm going to spell it says skin temperature and it was 37.85, which is nothing. so will see it in fahrenheit. that would be about a 100 points one. i couldn't see your head and take it down. this might sound this

my yahoo! so you can just give us some stuff in this case just to keep it available. it's alonzo elizabeth i c k. again, the name of the kind of to come to the bathroom they're working with a fever, but no exception. and they have very much the same symptoms that you and i have when we have a fever, crank, headaches. sometimes they may feel nauseous, roxanne and her team analyze blood and urine samples. they take their vital signs as to workers, questions about how they're feeling and share their results with them. and the any other say that, that i like anything that's out of it and it says, you know, of course there this event that i'm being of seek if it was that is a lot of which i, which i our, that on through the, the husband has diabetes and she was right up the cost of pre diabetes. so i don't know says sort of thing that is yes look at what's,

what's the most pessimistic associate i send you as to what's your point of what though? a young, the choice of the screen? faith 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. he will, you look at it. let's get, this is definitely at a higher risk of heat stroke, sylvester 65, it's one of those things. so for this because they push themselves, they think that they can withstand the sheets and they can keep going. but someone like him has diabetes or that's that's dangerous to continue to work like that. what do you anticipate seeing with the help because 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, i'm 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 roof for in south florida for more than a decade. along with his younger brother wilmer. what is the heat light working on a rooftop smith if you ever open up a furnace like the oven and you felt the heat, 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, your hands, touch a single bank to hand and it's, it's just miserable. in august of 2023. the hardest. you 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 mommy and like he's not coming back from this room or died the next day. it just 29 years old . the only time i've acquired about a was went out the hospital, the doctor let my mom know jesse and 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 ad. so mine players cut 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 mcneill 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 um, you know, 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 relevant at all i'm doing the gallons. why do you think the other employers do not want these protections past? just because they to cut their productions. 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 hour space is ending it added. uh, does that mean that you anticipate that there are more workers that are going to die from the heat? us from another district was were it's main people to work the it gets when you have to get them in place. the for the sit echo will thing. they don't that, that's a problem and i know you know, and that's where you go. yeah. so for the 2 of us that out of the easy peasy inside of it all

the way i say that you buy that for me, let me look in this. is he put a go michigan? that's what i say. what else? the me, you go up with the no, no, yeah. norman 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. a for me, see, i'm a little sick if this watch those which you guys don't memory say was when those know what to someone. yeah, i mean, boy, i don't know. mucous grandson, lowe's home, the use of the way. a yes it for a. do you want me to? gosh, the

maria filed a workers compensation lawsuit, and she was able to receive a lot of settlements for salvatore's family. though his death leaves a gaping hole in our lives, the me what the new provider, the government, what do you have on the front? on the the, the limits of a whole we bought the black petals. carbon. yeah. now the

research chemicals dangerous new performance enhancing drugs was using a bottle of day, which is 5 milligrams because there's no dosing protocols marketed to teenagers by fitness influencers. i'm young and i'm on. this one is very dangerous. it's a while washed full times investigates, the lack of regulation to stop the spread of the too often cycled consequences. and just because you feel, how does that mean you're always muscle, inc, on a jersey, it is one of the classrooms that holding music and seeing sessions or what is working with edward. sorry, i'm using organization to hold these advice and these activities every single day

for the children were my 1st name, thomas senior and children in there was charles, sure thing. hang on, thing in the world. do them try to inspect this will be we have only 10 minutes to take our belongings and leave the office so they can shut it down towards victory for the government. get this one of those containing refugees, the coming, the actions of israel's government. the military invitation has been described as the closing of the
