church or go to the mall. is a very strong if you took part in the greatest adventure in history. you know long strong words whose destiny starts july 20th on w. . this is d w news asia coming up on our show today on the front lines of climate change cycle owns floods of rising sea levels why environmental disasters are threatening the lives and futures of millions of children in bangladesh meanwhile india is in the grips of another severe heat wave temperatures soar above 50 degrees in some parts of the country in one state 80 people have died since saturday we look at what's set to become india as long as top spot on record. and lost cities to rediscover archeologists in cambodia find vast temple complexes deep in the nice

a jungle we'll show you the urban landscape that might just rival and cold ones. i'm sumi so much gaga and this is deja news asia thank you for joining us now we start with a closer look at the growing climate crisis affecting asia's most vulnerable communities environmental disasters are threatening vast swaths of land in low lying coastal areas bangladesh is among the hardest hit it is densely populated and has weak infrastructure so a psych loans and rising sea levels are particularly devastating there and it's children who are bearing the brunt the united nations children's agency says the lives and futures of 19000000 young people are at risk because of climate change

will these children and their families lead the next big wave of climate refugees. in the future won't exist rising sea levels caused by climate change are gradually washing this island off the map. 3 people living here are at the front line of the climate change problem they can try moving their makeshift homes to higher ground but also met lee they know it's a losing battle low lying bangladesh with its many rivers and deltas is especially prone to the effects of climate change. with livelihoods at risk society's most fun rable bearing the brunt. of where i live and me to a very poor family if i don't work i won't be able to feed myself. the problem has already forced millions of bangladeshis to move inland to cities like the capital dhaka but here work in decent living conditions are in short

supply much in the slums is especially difficult for children they have to need areas because they have nothing else to live on they have 2 big cities where they become vulnerable they have to work in too risky area for girl it becomes an issue of child they become sex workers is a big issue for children. it's a cruel irony that those most vulnerable to climate change are the ones the least responsible for causing it now it's up to the authorities to swing into action. we harp through mainstream crime of chance guns of ourselves into all our development thoughts of ourselves government bonds program some policies. if we come up by march of our ability the model of the development would be the target. as well some levels continue to rise sochi with a number of bangladeshis internal migrants the question is what will be waiting for

them when they reach their destination and we can speak to christina cloud from unicef which issued that report warning about the dangers facing millions of children in bangladesh and she joins us from dhaka hi christina why is that that children in particular are affected by climate change hi thank you for the opportunity here. in the children are affected firstly because of this year numbers for example in bangladesh you have me in children who live in and around river systems that are at increased risk of producing life threatening life threatening floods so this means it's about children so by now it's about also about the health so when we have. any time and we have a shortage of. water which is the case and in floods and droughts. the likely that the children drink. it water increases and instantly so

so this in turn increases. the diseases that children particularly vulnerable to such as stereo diseases and ok. ok so they're directly affected by these effects of climate change as you're saying we also heard in your report or saw in your report rather that it does also lead some families to pushing their daughters into earlier marriages why is that an effect of climate change. well if you think about yet so if we think about families when they think in an area affected by saltwater intrusion for example so their lands are less and less able to sustain the family's life the birds. this means also that the area might be affected by sites gnomes which again and again growth in the family's assets such as the house and climbing equipment or so on so the family and with the child me

mainly true it may move to the city meaning that if so it's. in the new surrounding also without income in area ask and so kind of the. you know i might consider. to have children marry instead of because they're not to their educational opportunities and they're not able to fund their their school. with entire communities being wiped out and we see now that bangladesh already has $6000000.00 climate migrants tell us about the impact of climate change really has had on the country as a whole. yeah i mean the challenges are enormous we have 1x2ww children who were. victims of a river flats. now in children that live in coastal areas that are that are

regularly struck by cyclones and 2 thirds of the country are below 5 below 5 meter about sea level so these regions you see increasing poverty you see that are not that are not sufficient to sustain a family. or be able to provide for for schooling children so you're also seeing undermining opportunities of children that will impact the whole of their whole lives in unity of education besides only that survival so so this means also in the long term. that. the workforce the economic impact will continue even beyond. the immediate event of migration like the immediate event of a disaster or a christian a clock from unicef joining us from bangladesh thank you so much for your analysis

from psych loans and rising sea levels in bangladesh to a deadly heat wave in neighboring india in many parts of the country temperatures are soaring which in above a 40 degree celsius for $32.00 days the record is $33.00 days the state of bihar has been hit especially hard more than 180 people there have died from the severe hot spell in the capital delhi temperatures are so high that officials have issued a red alert india's health minister is now warning people not to leave their homes until the temperatures fall. even for india's dry season this is historic the capital delhi baking under record high temperatures residents looking to the heavens for help. but i never experienced anything like it it breaks all records only rain can save us but it doesn't cut it. but it's eastern bihar state that the washed crowded hospital corridors and fans working overtime to speak to

the emergency here staff overwhelmed with patients suffering from heat exhaustion since saturday almost 80 people have died authorities have implemented a daytime curfew to stem the casualty count. extreme heat is compounded by a shortage of water. tankers off our parched communities and lifesaving supplies must be landing you have to be in line early in the morning otherwise you won't get anything off and people go away empty handed. scientists say the people are the latest victims of shifting weather patterns attributed to global climate change. because of huge climate change if it i'm with some was. because this also source of water is being depleted. and it is that makes relentless heat

waves are reduced rainfall is playing havoc with india's mass of humanity. now anchor watch is one of southeast asia's biggest tourist attractions a sprawling temple complex in cambodia dating back to as early as the 9th century when the comerica built vast cities and religious monuments today it's part of a huge architectural park the area was heavily mined during the country's 3 decade long civil war which ended in the late 1990 s. the area was cut off from the outside world and the temples consumed by the jungle but now those temples are emerging from the ground once again and some of the hidden treasures may even rival anchor what. cambodia is famous for its magnificent ancient temples many of which are located deep in the jungle. so too is some coke a unesco world heritage listed temple complex that dates back to the 7th century.

the archaeological site has traditionally attracted a smattering of visitors compared to the most famous and what but this may be about to change because some bold pray coke is much larger than previously thought but we were able to identify and map hundreds of reservoirs occupation mounds and even some temples that hadn't been identified before even with decades of work on the ground these creatures had stowed on and identified because the forest here is so dense. that discovery was made using so-called light detection and ranging technology for short life. by filtering out reflections from the vegetation the technology enables scientists to see through even the stake is jungle canopy. we can pinpoint certain areas of interest that. we maybe haven't explored before

rather than having to walk the whole entire landscape and it saves a lot of time and money and it's really a great advancement in archaeology with this technology. that is being processed and see emery and loaded on to smart phones for use in the field. with the technology we can see the outlines of ancient road smarts and irrigation systems for the 1st time and we can also see that there was a lot of them with we learned a lot of new things about sample pretty quick for example about the city grid and other infrastructure features that could join the city to angkor wat. it's international and local experts are now working to create a digital model of the terrain to highlight areas of particular historical interest and to prevent development that could damage the engine. will leave you with some images of a unique protest in indonesia many cities there are frequently hit by flooding and
