increasingly crowded city. i'm christine window while come to africa i'm glad you're tuned in we begin in mozambique in the port city of beirut away all fours he's hope to raise the money needed to rebuild infrastructure destroyed off to 2 storms a 2 day donor conference launched in beirut today with experts from international organizations the private sector and civil society in attendance they're hoping to raise about $3000000000.00. it die and can it smashed into was empty can march and april hitting the santa and the north of the country just 6 weeks of hot more than 2000000 people were affected and about 650 died now the funds will be soon rebuild infrastructure and support social needs and economic protection in

a fixity areas. weeks after the cycle on and really knows house is still barely habitable for the family have moved all their possessions into the only undamaged room that's also where they now sleep. you know we'll never forget the day the storm hit. i was just the i didn't go anywhere because that was so wally they couldn't come out so they leave. going out that was a very very very early in. c.s. . lewis house is just a few 100 meters from the shore the sea is the most immediate danger. this coming laws laws they were yeah why do you think it's coming maybe i don't know who these limits have been so i don't know if these are being really. it's often flooded parts of the city are below sea level the districts of. nova specially at risk

un climate change experts estimate that sea levels could rise by a metre by the year 2100. these are stairs of a house that used to be right here and point to and you can clearly see how the sea came closer and closer over the years and took more and more lens many more houses under threat. the city has taken defensive action with a network of locks and candles and pots of measures have cost millions subsidised by development funds from germany. the regime to move on the day of the cycle and it also started raining we have been lost so the water could run down into the sea if we haven't done that the flooding would have been even worse here your. mayor. says the city is used to flooding but destructive storms like cycling need

a new phenomenon. is hoping for more funding from overseas to pay for the fence of measures he can't understand why some still doubt the existence of climate change. to have to live our life. maybe they're living another kind of life but the feeling be askin what we have done here with this cycle of do understand that climate change is a problem. they have been flooding once they've been in heavy wind as to what we have seen no definitely do feel in the scheme that something bad is happening and that's called climate change. in the meantime and really knows about the future about his house and. his family. if he were.

afraid to live in yeah yeah i am doing it because my father was here in the wilds he must know we lived here and we know they have to believe that the war anyhow that place so we are here. for a 3 way afraid. if you could afford it you know it says he would have moved a long time ago away from the water's edge ok let's go over to beirut now if they'll pinto is heading up operations for the red cross is a psycho and a diet response welcome to day w. africa for all and most of the money that's raised at the sternal conference is going towards rebuilding infrastructure but perhaps tell us how desperate the humanitarian situation is as we speak. thank you thank you for that question because it's true that there are you know a lot of impact on infrastructure here roads preaches hospitals are been damaged but we should not forget the human side of it and today see some people after 2

months see didn't receive some 1st and so that's one of the thing that's right looking at that the moment after the red cross is too stupid to try to to give them some tools that will help them to review their lives in the future but also to respond to there are still very dire needs to be sure to read 80 to emergency food or immediate emergency shelter for example that some of the communities are we have been visiting recently she didn't receive anything right right 12 and many people have said that the response to this disaster has been largely under funded has that been your experience and just how have you had how have you had to get by. if we would have been able to have more funds it's true that we would have been able to run small trucks renting while he copters and those who bring in more goods to be able to be distributed to all these people but what he's doing most worrying related to the 2 they're not quite front she is what is going to come in the coming weeks and in the coming months in general and see what are factors don years i

would say feel doctors as well i don't very presence in the very onset of the recipe and i feel much less in the coming weeks and coming months where we know that the effects of the direct sponsor really last for long so we need to be able to protect ourselves for quite some time rights which is why we are really worried . ok so so to the point i mean you're throwing forward to the future and i just wonder what he'll say it's off how much a long day you'll say this is all going to be needed they are you in this for the long war that give us a time horizon. at the red cross we don't see how such response can be shortened and then 2 years and i will explain you just briefly why but we feel look at the amount of tears of crops that have been destroyed it's more than 700000 the factors all the scripts i've been through last just before the august so d.c. means that the main office is going to come on in one year so there is no way we can do something that is she stand and that we take over after one years we need to

be able to breach that gap for me my one year and then encourage people to be more resilient feel like safer been back right or to be more resilient in the risk of floods all right that's fall on so from the international federation of red cross thank you very much. thank you. it's now to the democratic republic of congo where the body off veteran opposition figure if he and she said katie arrived in the capital city to get off to his death crowds gathered at the airport to pay their respects many coaches say katie the father of to mock receipt now just like it held ministerial post cheering which is this is so close regime he ran for president he several times but was unsuccessful in 1985 to sign off to then president calderon accused him of violating election goals not to say he died in belgium in 2017 he was 84 joseph had been as government wouldn't allow his body to be buried in the d.r.

a labyrinth of us most of which are intimate to ethiopia a dream come true for messed around with winters underneath but this is what looks like. these leaves kostin at them are usually dipped into coffee and this plant is said to cure a cold in no time in a city where cement towers are sprouting up like mushrooms there's so many using them as a space for humans to breathe and for nature to flourish with it is going past i think. not in the right direction many of the trees are. dying out. of the air is polluted or even complete we poisoned we're all affected one way or another we're all connected through the environment. reconnecting humans to the environment is precisely the aim of this school. one of
