is causing havoc around the world no clouds in sight in europe as you can see from the international space station that means water shortages crop losses and wildfires wide areas of australia are also stricken by drought the worst in decades farmers are finding it hard to keep their animals alive state aid has been allocated to landholders the u.s. state of california is also facing severe drought water supplies have been declining for decades but this year is especially grim more wheat and corn will be consumed in twenty eighteen they can be produced reserves the dwindling. germany has the amounts three hundred forty million euros to help farmers if by drought as the result of a cabinet meeting today help can't come soon enough we visited a couple of farms just outside. the fields in brandenburg or some of the sandy astin germany and it hasn't rained in the region to april for weeks drought related

damage has prompted the german farmers association to demand rapid financial aid now that the government announced millions of euros in assistance the farmers lobby says prioritization will be key. in so vilma's i will i would like to stress that it's important to support the farms that have suffered really bad setbacks losses of more than thirty percent oxygen we don't want to cast a wide net. we want to target the aid where it's needed most. is to allow the farms to continue to operate. that could make the fener farming cooperative eligible ahead of the government's announcement it said it lost seventy percent of the crops it needed to feed its cattle it was unable to build up large reserves due to past poor harvests. it was in between for out of the drought which means that we have a considerable shortage of coffee contacted even the one time we couldn't fill the

contracts are not included with the agricultural co-operative due to poor yield sized cooperative has a deficit of thought of five hundred thousand euros this year. as from from the tolls and all half of germany sixteen federal states have already reported damages in the agriculture sector totaling three billion euros. let's crunch the numbers with our financial correspondent daniel cole as we heard there billions in damages in the millions in aid what went wrong. well but when you consider that for quite some time it was not even clear if those farmers would receive anything german is agriculture minister you look like she's by the way the daughter of a wine growers has been very careful in the past week saying that she needs a complete overview of the situation and she can promise the money everybody you want so i guess millions are at least something now that's also what germany's farmer association has been saying today as with

a statement they were already prepared for a scenario in which farmers would not have received anything because guess there are farmers that have really suffered this summer we're talking about ten thousand to urgently need this money but there are also others who even profited with this whether wineries are expecting and most of the german reason excellent grades also farmers with pumpkin plants or fields they have also benefit fed if it is so yeah at least they're getting some money but yes they wanted more was going to say the one grows up having a great time but what about the farmers from hit hard will they invest that money in irrigation this still so dependent on the rain and it's not coming. exactly well this money is mostly for those farmers who would be bankrupt after the season without support and yes not much rain is expected at least it's going to cool down i was just checking it in the next days but not much more can be changed

in this season also we have in some areas of germany quite a water shortage at the moment so that wouldn't even work it will be more of a support to survive this year and hopefully again have better results in the coming years but if we can't trust the weather experts who are saying that also the next summer could be like that farmers might need a plan b. it sounds like it's going to dry for a while don't you cope in frankfurt for us thank you. when his cereal crops harvests nationwide down a quarter to the previous five years you stop wondering about supply we asked professor of international food economics mountain climb about food security. when we have a few of these years in a row then we will certainly have a serious food security problem but much less concerned about germany because people in germany are rich enough so that even if prices go up they can afford them of food i'm much more worried about poor people in africa and so asia where

hunger and poverty is severe anyway even in an average year and will certainly go up when prices go up and unfortunately i mean we are complaining here but all or climate models are saying that the negative impact of climate change on a repulsor will be much more severe regions of so asia and africa than in europe and that means the biggest impact negative movie where people are already poor and that's something we need to take very seriously how to from the professor africa and asia stand to lose out most let's rope in alice singapore correspondent linda hong what's the agricultural impact on asia right now. well then you see in asia you can actually there are a lot of developing nations and you don't really have

a lot of money to develop infrastructure into and that's actually one of the problems that the farmers might be facing but take note that this is actually not the first time that farmers in asia have actually faced such a dry problem in twenty sixteen weather wasn't so great identity there's actually been the food crisis worldwide so to counter this problem for instance in asia vietnam and indonesia they actually have. subscription services for farmers at less than one dollar u.s. a month you can actually get information on climate and as well as food prices and also there's also been quite a bit of financial incentives putting money into. incentives to actually create more of us as well as to counter this with artificial conditions such as sunlight and humidity ben linda what about my home country australia where some regions haven't had rain in eight years well ben yeah it's currently a very dry spell in more than one hundred years at because the dry weather has

actually declared that the grass a lot of money has been put into feet the cattle and to keep them alive and the new south will government west and the capped off the street is in effect she approved an emergency drought relief of six hundred million dollars and at least two hundred fifty will cover low interest loans to cover eligible farms but so far what on the ground is that is still not enough to help them ok city capital of new south wales camber cattle of his trade just to get you up to his job or for that. thank you linda no need to escape the harsh realities of life how about delving into the world of gaming it's not just the kids report but it's found out at a trade fair in cologne. it lets bang and you're inside the game not just on screen the recent mega had fortnight breaks with tradition rather than playing the survival games games come visitors can test their
