as long as our coffee and his friends can drink. this movie. refugee camp. life story ground to. 27 years ago but there's no holding back his dreams. thank you for. cinema the start of a $27.00. welcomes a global 3000 this week we go to sit down where courageous women are calling for democracy freedom and basic rights. in northern canada

we meet people being forced out of their homes by accelerating climate change. but 1st we had to syria where one influential tried wants to help shape the future of the war ravaged country. in syria the war is not yet over in the north west forces loyal to president bashar al assad have mounted and the tackled the country's last major opposition strongholds over the years regional tribes have also taken up arms mainly against islamic state militants sometimes at the side of assad othertimes at the side of his opponents. the shah is a tribal confederation based in northeast syria and iraq is one of the largest clans of the region its syrian headquarters or intel and its leader says tribes like his should play a key role in peace negotiations for the future of their country. when the weather

allows. hardy gathers his closest allies in a makeshift tent. he often serves their mutton for lunch it's an old tradition and one that the head of the shamma tribe keeps alive it's rooted in the times when the shammai lived a nomadic life crisscrossing the arab world. until recently the sherm are far better early against the islamic states fighters as a result weapons are still commonplace here even if nowadays they're only used for sport. like. the are among the region's most powerful tribes with millions of members and although the war in syria is not over yet a measure of calm now prevails in the northeast shake a mighty hopes can help shape post-war politics. who want to solve problems the tribes are important. 1000 percent of people here belong to

a tribe whether they're kurdish or christian we all share the same culture of war because these local tribes all have the same traditions and customs. palaces and tele lowell a small village in northern syria. this is where the shower leader meets petitioners allies and other shakes. together with his advisors he decides on issues affecting the shamas future he also mediates in disputes between members of the tribe and distributes aid to the needy. is a long way from damascus that's always afforded the shah a certain autonomy in their decision making the tribal leaders even act as a substitute for central government the shakes revenues come from the region's oil fields and tolls levied on travelers they pay for his militia and support for

tribal members might his fighters halted the advance of the self-proclaimed islamic state just short of tell us. a hastily erected wall of earth near the village is a reminder of how close the front line came was used for cover and as a barrier against islamic state trucks packed with explosives the militia is led by her mighty son bandar they call themselves the other son a deed forces or forces of the brave for a long time they fought alongside the kurds against their common enemy. i asked wanted absolute power over the region the fighting was fierce and took a heavy toll. house they surrounded us one of our fighters secor fight his own life to save us he. has a raby and horses are bandages pride and joy and also tradition they used to carry warriors into battle today the tribes militia use assault weapons and 4 by fours.

the show might have fought off the islamic state but peace is fragile the so-called caliph it casts a long shadow. i thought it had been obvious for some time that the i.r.s. would face military defeat but as the c.i.s. ideology that worries me it's taken root in children's heads and won't be so easy to shake off the. roads and tracks here are still secured by checkpoints where the deed control vehicles. women are rarely seen on the streets this is a man's world and women are restricted to working in the fields and the household. the next morning and the palace begins with praise for shake a mighty. yes here feel as though i am a liar as you know to share my cardigan harry although fighting continues in some

parts of syria at the show my chief is looking to the future during the war who might ease militia called the shots in the northeast syrian president bashar assad's troops have been quick to make themselves scarce that could easily change now and shaikh who might be is looking to cut a deal with damascus in march he went to talks with the assad government. would move forward but we're not negotiating yet meetings were aimed at bringing about peace and putting an end to the hatred between ethnic groups religions and political parties. because our task to diffuse the hatred others stirred up. he advises parties who want to maintain autonomy achieved in the war to seek compromise with the government and. the 1st thing we must do is put an end to the destruction and bloodshed and the life is more important than the death of our

souls more important than those of the debt. the schama have survived the war and shake a mighty is hoping for a permanent peace. over the past month people in sudan's capital khartoum have been taking to the street demanding basic rights and a shift to democracy. in april the protests helped trigger the fall of president omar bashir a military coup put an end to his 30 year dictatorship. now many sudanese want the generals who toppled bashir to also surrender power in that place they want to civilian government and free elections and there are signs of hope over the next few years a broadly civilian government is tasked with transitioning the country towards democracy and many women want to play

a role in this to. drift to leads the chance at this rally as she now often does we have a fire inside us and we have no fear. here 18 year old student just part of sudan's revolutionary movement one of the teachers women heading the calls for change. my aim is to become a politician or a minister in a new government women need to have a voice. grifter all or unfairness of other women were instrumental in the developments that led to the ousting of dictator omar al bashir they were actively involved in the revolution from the outset with their banners and chants 1st driving the protests and eventually leading them to. women have often outnumbered men at the demonstrations in the process getting firsthand experience

of the regime's brutal rule and the hatred of religious zealots. it's. all right we have to have someone. we can do things. in this world and this isn't a revolution against islam they exploit islam for their own purposes we're not against islam we're against people who distort islam's message to their own advantage. that i was that. i was arrested at a demonstration in khartoum they took us away in police vans i saw them beating the men and torturing women who had been found with bandits. they let me go because i didn't have one. animal i had a father was. so strong much experiences were far from the exception riska herself has been arrested 5 times and has been subjected to beatings and torture with

electric shocks. but her ordeal served only to strengthen her resolve she began picking up tear gas grenades launched by the police and throwing them back to protect others around her this video posted online made her famous i. was while i was at the front some protesters died right next to me but i wasn't afraid throwing back to gas grenades came naturally even if i knew i could lose a hand i'll be blinded and grieving was extremely painful. and he did that oh he could not have got. khartoum remains in a state of flux 1st the protesters instigated the removal of infamous dictator alba shear from his palace but now they want to see the army generals who finally toppled him step down to their calling for freedom peace and equal opportunities

for women that is itself a revolution in a country where women have traditionally been denied a voice. i. know he got brother is a veteran in the field she's been fighting for women's rights in jobs and education since the 1980s. woman from the start we have is a victims of. the she revealed in all areas of the us. public order that. the media or the noise one day it's really a rights or really serious separation for the women. if if if if one of the crises. now finally it really is her country to risk her where's the colors of the nation's flag with pride all of the struggle is not over . equal rights for women really would be a dream for now there's no equality but there are many things that bring us

together as sudanese we all have the same rights. peace and freedom for men and women of course she and her fellow protesters will continue taking to the streets full with newfound confidence that. they have it now that they have i am that you know. for decades nasa satellites have been tracking changes to the ice in the arctic and their findings a d.p. alarming. the arctic ice cap is melting and as a concerning rate over recent decades the amount of older thick ice in particular has been shrinking the area of open sea is expanding and freezing over later in the year with devastating consequences for people and animals residents of the canadian town of tuktoyaktuk on the arctic coast know that only too well the ground is literally falling away from the fair feet. it's tough post 9 in the morning

before the sun finally appears on the horizon here deep inside the arctic circle we're on our way from the town of in of it to took to the arctic one of the northern most communities on the canadian mainland. this road was only built a year and a half ago it links the small town on the shores of the arctic ocean with the economic centuries in the south it's nearly 3500 kilometers from here to edmonton the nearest major city. conditions are harsh for this remote community and despite the new road they're now getting even tougher. on local residents sunday adams says the lives of the locals have changed dramatically in recent years they used to be 3 rows of houses standing here in front of his house but they've all been washed away this summer his own house will likely meet

the same fate when the winter ice melts and the frozen arctic ocean becomes a raging sea. world probably your rock. only. water north near growth and it's a problem that's affecting everyone here on the shores of the arctic ocean sunday adams says the temperatures are rising the winters are starting later and the summers earlier the family now need to move from the house they've always lived in . have no choice a thing about my children my grandchildren so we have to move my house 1st split be hard to get used to but we have to really get it on the water some. but it's not just the erosion that's threatening their future going out to the edge of the town we're given a unique insight into

a fascinating world 6 meters below ground. sunday adam son jeffrey takes us to the local ice house for decades meat has been stored here in these rooms in the permafrost. for thousands of years solid ice has formed the foundation on which everything here stands to remain stable permafrost requires an average year round temperature of below minus one degree celsius if the average temperature rises beyond that the ice melts. that would transform vast swathes of land here in northern canada into a huge swamp with repercussions for the entire planet. we take a flight over the region joining

a research team from the german aerospace center the scientists are directing radio beams at the earth using 4 different frequencies that penetrate to various depths. ralph horn and his colleagues are conducting experiments to see how the permafrost on our planet is changing the canadian arctic is the perfect environment for their work. this floating landscape has all the different facets of permafrost. this is exactly the place we want to be with this equipment. the test center is a global 1st and it's designed to give us a better understanding of the changes taking place in permafrost regions a huge risk for humanity lies dormant in these areas. that's because permafrost soils hold more than twice as much carbon as the earth's atmosphere does so it's

only the ice that is preventing vast amounts of greenhouse gases being released into the air. a short while later back down on the ground in the wilderness of ice and snow the scientists dig up a radar reflector that provided a reference point for the measurements taken from the plane there's a bitter wind blowing working in an arctic storm is not something the german scientists do every day. as this mode now picks luther i think in certainly makes a change from the offers on this is that it keeps us on our toes. and we'll see in time to do this all the time it would be tough but as it is it's fine least i'll sleep well tonight. they take samples of the snow as a reference guide for their radar measurements they want to know exactly what's happening after all there's a lot at stake. with an upper half of how you have

a lot of organic material stored here in the ground so if the permafrost thaws vast amounts of gases will be released into the atmosphere we're talking about mainly methane and c o 2 which would speed up the process of climate change even more. to around 50 kilometers further west canadian scientists say taking samples and measuring the thickness of the ice on the frozen mackenzie river a local hunter in trafford has come out with them to provide protection should anyone animals pose a threat to life here has changed in recent is a lot of a circle to. support the grizzly bears are working up and getting out of the day and it's only the 19th of march. that's a month early now it's warm up with all these other insects coming up before. it's the girls and the kids. before. the

ice is just 60 centimeters thick miles says that's nowhere near enough for this time of year. 7 to 8 feet my dad used to. go down shaving hole. a pail and the spheres toss a. chisel some more and i go down he holds me down and most filled up the pail like this and. most of the day before we get water but 8 feet or nearly 2 and a half meters compared with just 60 centimeters today that's a huge change that's occurred in just a few decades one thing is clear disaster is looming on the process has long been underway even though the dazzling beauty of the canadian arctic could easily lol you into a false sense of security. now we

had from canada to siberia in russia home to lake baikal the vast basin is 600 kilometers long and up to 80 kilometers wide at around 25000000 years old it's also considered the world's oldest lake and it's the deepest 1642 meters deep in fact it contains a 5th of our planet's fresh surface water more than 23000 cubic kilometers well it also has a unique ecosystem of around $2600.00 animal and plant species including the world's only freshwater seals and it's unusually clear more reason why it's under threat. lake baikal is waking up from its winter slumber. the ice is slowly receding. and revealing

a blot on the landscape. the leg sensitive wetlands have been cut through by gigantic pipeline did use that part of construction work for a new water bottle implant that will source drinking water in lake baikal 80 percent will go to export mainly to china biologists vitaly reactors that explains what's planned. for the wood with those over the i'm quite sure that water is pumped through the pipes with. the idea behind the factory is to take water from the depths of the lake. but to get there they have to traverse 2 and a half kilometers of shallows you remember the just those political and. those are the areas which worry the biologist for years he's been seeing the numbers of birds here on the southern shore decline.

this alkie also tells him that the lakes in bad shape. if there wasn't for a 3rd of the produce they were there but you have this over lake baikal contains 20 percent of the world's fresh water. there's nowhere else like it for you you make my call as the planet's well and that's how we've got to treat it because of the shores have to be kept clean no rubbish and they shouldn't be built up. otherwise we'll lose this natural wonder. react surfin the people of could took have been battling against the water plant for months it belongs to a chinese businessman a 1000000 people signed a petition against it they've managed to get construction suspended at least for now but a final decision has yet to be made lists. the fact that the plant belongs to a chinese company sparked massive protests in particular among those who signed the petition there's never been so many signatures collected here and siberians

protesting against the chinese expansion that's currently underway. riyadh said meeks activist stanislav philippo if he collected the signatures and now he wants public prosecutors to investigate the planned factory. for the super for a closer connection with her we've not lost her. we want the wetlands declared a protected area. for this war but this war. lake baikal doesn't only attract chinese business people. every year over a 1000000 tourists in summer and in winter and most of these foreign visitors come from china. for a while how being here before he told me that this is a. place like paradise is the famous talking chinese in china

we heard the song when we was a child we we know by how they buy this song. to her and the. list bianca is late by calls main tourist destination in the summer season thousands of chinese come here every day and a growing number of hotels a chinese owned one is being built right outside a guest house owned by under a salon off construction has been temporarily halted off to the protests but suhana still has to climb his steps for a view of the lake. your celebrity who i moved to lake by carl especially so i could enjoy the view of the lake every morning now that block my entire view. these days his guest house is usually empty in winter he says there's too much competition from the new hotels.

which are like these are going to that's why we shouldn't say we don't want the chinese were there they were here before and now they are basically if we want to have them here then we should build a village just for them somewhere else unlike by car because there are so many of them. locals in lake baikal feel overwhelmed and they claim the chinese don't behave the way visitors should. the planned bottling factory is stoking the anti chinese sentiment in could talk. but stanislav philip puff and the others feel just as much betrayed by their politicians and their false promise says. wilson said in an area that people here don't believe there'll be new jobs the chinese will bring their own people or do the work philip off says one good thing has emerged the buffering plant dispute has shown could took citizens that they can achieve a lot when they stick together. like buy cotton

a vital freshwater reserve and a tourist hot spot but business poses a growing threat to wildlife and local interests. that's all from global 3000 this time we're back next week in the meantime please send us your thoughts and comments drop us a line to global 3000 at d.w. dot com and you'll find us on facebook d w women by phone now.
