he fits in the pantheon of the great tenors certainly he's one for the ages. because. july 10th. welcome to global 3000 coming up this week food waste and hunger we meet people in the philippines determined to cut down on bikes. and what about other types of trash far too much of it ends up in the nile river and to egypt activists. and just where is our planet headed how climate change is already affecting hulda's

in kenya. climate change is increasingly having an impact all over the planet temperatures are soaring sea levels are rising droughts and wildfires and longer the exception more and more they're becoming the rule people in sub-saharan africa are particularly up against it in some areas average temperatures have risen by 2 degrees celsius all more since the 1970 s. meat crop failures and floods are forcing me to leave their homes the world bank says around 86000000 people could be displaced in africa in the next 30 years more than anywhere else in the world in kenya we met a man who struggles with the effects of climate change every day but he's not taking it down. these days it takes

a long time to find a place for his animals to graze grow bogo you have been it goes hard for decades but conditions have never been so tough. because. the climate is overwhelming us well i think this problem is the lack of water. and there's nothing we can do. over time that he has become more extreme and water supplies have to win the world when kenya was hit by drought 2 years ago robot lost almost his entire herd that prompted him to take action and file a lawsuit against the european union. my message to you europeans is that you've got to stop it i don't know whether you're personally to blame or whether you can talk with the ones responsible. and the age group helped him to get his case together the aim to hold those responsible for climate change to account. all of. myself who can hope i mean

well that would lead organization told us that the causes behind climate change are human i took part in the lawsuit because i'm desperate it has to stop the heat is just about melting my brain. was going to work with. the robot and 250 other families live in the village of bought and rewrote in kenya's northern bushland. there's no electricity no tap water no mobile phone network village life is governed by the animals. he lives with his 2nd wife and their children early morning breakfast is sometimes chum pati a kind of pancake but they often have to make do with just a cup of tea until evening time. the good of. you have to get his her into the water hole by 10 o'clock. goes herds here only get

one chance a day to provide their animals with something to drink. the. water is strictly rationed the aim is to make it last for as long as possible. but the strategy is not proving very effective there are simply too many farmers to cater for. at midday the villagers gather for a meeting with the water level is dropping too fast right in the middle of the dry season. when. they reach a decision on the outside herders who've been staying in baton reroll will no longer be welcome. only 2 weeks ago 2 tribes fought it out in the hills awful 4 people died 4 were wounded. life has always been hard in this region of the villages fear that climate change is intensifying centuries old

conflicts. that. my i'm getting frightened. now that i can't do anything about these problems when i can't fight the drought and i can't help myself when i'm stuck you can't even sleep in your house at night because of the heat. the villagers have some firearms to defend themselves on their water something we're not supposed to film they've been driven off 3 times by neighboring tribes. in late afternoon after school and her mother set off to collect water the villagers get their drinking water from a different pond and carry it all the way home. a yellow canister hold 18 leasers. demas supports her husband's climate change lawsuit and hopes that it will encourage people to change their behavior. one you know judge will want. these

people have to change their ways and stop doing things that result in all this heat . to all our animals shouldn't have to die if it really happens in our cases heard and something changes in the cycle is broken then that would be good for us. clearly the heat means they have to do the water run many times over. then it's time to cook goes on the menu today but only because we're here at special occasion normally the animals are sold. the use aren't after money with their lawsuits. their greatest wish is that e.u. countries do more to protect the climbers. after all it's their future and that of their children that stake.

a tougher european climate strategy that's what real but leo and plaintiffs from the 9 other countries want an e.u. court has since rejected their case now the group is considering going a step further and taking it to the european court of justice. that case shows that things are happening many other people around the globe are refusing to stand by and watch climate change destroy our planet worldwide groups of people getting together to collect rubbish like in the let's do it project and efforts like that a desperately needed it takes around 450 years for plastic waste to degrade in the environment and every year up to $13000000.00 tons of it lands in the oceans plastic has no place in other waterways either like one of the world's longest rivers which has been inundated by

a mountain of rubbish. the nile is the lifeblood of egypt and vital for the irrigation of its farmland. but the river and its countless canals have become severely polluted and full of trash over time the plastic breaks down into ever smaller pieces. the micro particles enter the water supply ending up in crops and in fish and then in their human consumers. some air as a fisherman working on the nile. he knows firsthand about the problems pollution causes. if you have the good with the minimal but i think that because then when i'm out on the water i see lots of plastic bottles and other containers that all of this rubbish tears up my net and it kills the fish to. shadi abdullah is an activist who takes very practical steps to clean the river and its banks. he

also speaks out against the scourge of trash and pollution that takes courage the government has little tolerance of criticism. shadi is a co-founder of very nial an initiative that works with fishermen ecologists and the public to clean up the river and to raise awareness. of how a lot of commons when i stole my garbage we asked the question where do you think it goes is it goes away. so it's not as problem anymore it is just like throw it into it ever and just because i never carry it away it's not my problem anymore so people don't understand how this come back hard on them and how can this affect them. it would seem that some egyptians no longer revere and respect the river the main source of water for the population. but the very nial initiative has won the support of the environment minister yasmeen fouad a surprising development given that initiatives even slightly critical of the state

of affairs in the country are usually nipped in the bud. but the masses of trash choking the river are now too conspicuous to be ignored. week to week in effect if the election for the waste with the whole got it all. not organic and then have a number of factors that are able to meet cycles that and the appropriate number of the land. across egypt only about 60 percent of waste is collected at all and of that only if if this recycled. shabby sometimes visits the partner enterprises that recycled plastic fished out of the river by very naive volunteers working here is considered a lowly occupation abdel is 15 and earns a pittance shadi abdullah and his team are among the few who care about the people who process the trash. it's not an easy process recycling here is

a lot of pro quo sims and consequences for recycling many people are trying to get. more safe professions. very nial is also active in southern egypt. luxor is a city of half a 1000000 with spectacular ancient ruins frequented by tourists from around the world it too has a trash problem. very nihilist made a name for itself throughout the country despite all the obstacles its encountered . prison obstacle was technically in the whole history of recent years the street just. below against. the gathering to do what i did so we got this is the ministries we had to bring to the government to support on board there is more to be an exhibit and not. threatening to

security for being in the street. the scale of the problem is vast today's trash gathering effort will not save the nile but is of huge symbolic significance raising awareness is crucial inspiring people to care about the environment. 2 years ago we saw to be only for very very very few people in sport we have been told over and over again that this is hope this is no hope. this hopeless we should stop. one you know we saw here 300 people today is no comes of people and the one governor it was the thousands in cairo so maybe next here are going to see hundreds and governor 800000. in cairo and this wave is going to grow i had a very moving moment when i saw the. shot the abdullah's green wave will keep rolling if his fellow egyptians join in to protect. in care for the nile the river

is central to their cultural heritage and to their economy and it's a treasure of immense beauty. and waste is also the focus of our global ideas series this week or to be more specific food waste food that's thrown away even though it's clearly still edible it's a widespread problem in many countries including the philippines into south of the capital manila an awareness of the issue is growing and people are starting to get facilities chanst reports they're going to take a close was that and took part in an innovative cookery course. poverty that's what drives these people to look through sacks of garbage and for something to eat they've been sifting through the waste since early this morning. the food doesn't have to be appetizing it just shouldn't make them sick. for that

get back and take it a bit spoilt i take it home and watch it boy less than ben curtis. philip a ball that feeds her family with food that someone else has thrown away the term for such scraps in the local language tagalog is pagpag about 13000000 people in the philippines can't afford 3 meals a day this is the other side of the philippines though prosperous and waste for all you can eat buffets are very popular with those who can pay for them and of course restaurants throw away a lot of the food they prepare. are receiving here at least i got resources this is what it is i look freedom from this and you. think you download process with transfers not sure history you would so on

obesity it's hard once you get into that. melody mello reich who runs the sustainable production and consumption project of the ngo w w f philippines she advises restaurants and hotels on ways to reduce waste today she's visiting the resort town of to gate 10 it's about an hour and a half drive from manila members of the city's growing middle class like to spend the weekend here chilling out and eating while the picnic grove is a park where people do exactly what the name suggests many bring along food from home it's a culture thing so we we always find excuses to get together so we can can share food this is one way of us are a lot of want to farming with the friends. increasing prosperity goes hand in hand with growing wastefulness an estimated 300000 tons of rice are thrown away in the philippines every year. to modernize willow is doing something to combat that he's

a cook who prepares healthy dishes at a spa hotel. as we know is determined to minimize waste he uses every part of a vegetable that can be eaten and compost organic waste and he takes other steps as well. but the best actually the best way is through portioning are used to serve big questions about dishes and a lot was wasted so we decided to downsize our portion and put on our menu some items are still described as good for 2 persons good for 5 or for a family or a plot or for a group of friends so that still there. are individuals we have down sized portion of us and we garnish the dishes in such a way that they look bigger than they are. modern as well always involved in the

project run by melody miller reich she often explains to chefs how wasting food is bad for the climate. when you have pulled ways and they end up in landfills they became natural me and the produce more pull at the greenhouse gas in the form of methane which is more than 20 stronger than carbon dioxide in trapping heat in our atmosphere. in the hotel where as where low works even offers its guests tours of its own kitchen garden serves as i bring forward and for him if. you have hearsays as well as cooking classes he has way low teaches guests ways to avoid generating waste when they cook at home. he also recommends using parts of plants that are usually discarded like banana flowers. for making fries out of potato skins. or soup out of onion skin and.

right now i can like i should of you then i. am part of the party that i have before and now i know more. i think if you modify the bottle looking very good thing. and everybody knew that it can actually affect. this is good in light of the experience of course classes at a luxury hotel don't reach a wide audience and large volumes of food will continue to be discarded across the country but there's now a bill before parliament in the philippines that would oblige food manufacturers restaurants hotels and supermarkets to donate surplus edible food for distribution by food banks to the needy. for no though huge amounts of discarded food still end up in a dump in the district of. waste pickers here look for things of value in the garbage

. phillippa vida usually find some food that looks at a bowl she started working as a waste picker 2 years ago after her husband died the burden of feeding the family so completely on her shoulders. the 1st thing she does with the chicken she retrieved from the refuse is boil it to kill the bacteria then she fries it with onions and serves it to her children and grandchildren or suffer . a little. here you either have to work or you don't like that i'm sure it would be better not to have to eat this but it's this or nothing. life's hard. her family will probably have to continue living off discarded food but receiving it from a food bank would certainly be better than pulling it out of
