fund the foundation of this country how have these values developed to restore germany what is it to live by and defend the principles of unity justice and freedom in our care free to do more of. our journey to the syrians starts october 21st on d w. they spread fear and terror among people that they drive a hike from but that's becoming increasingly difficult in the time metropolis of bangkok. the city is booming natural habitats for snakes disappearing. from taiwan come is a fine fine so he hasn't put out any fines for months instead he's out catching snakes everything from home his garden snakes to poisonous feinberg.

all right we'll send someone out keep an eye on the snake until we get there. at the. end of this and it's on taiwan comes 1st mission on this sunday morning rainy season has begun in thailand and that means snake season has as well. snake catchers almost always work in pandas because they never know what to expect attempting to catch one of the larger reptiles all alone would be too dangerous by cam and his colleagues sent off with 2 vehicles are they would be working in their . banks maze of streets makes it difficult for some time to find the address given by the court. looking for missing 114

says p.d. 14 right now where is mr one that's just a side street. it's been more than 20 minutes since the call came in and the snake catchers have to turn around. after another 5 minutes the firefighters finally arrive at the right place the caller is waiting impatiently in front of his house. armed with the 2 men enter the property the snake has already begun to retreat. sensing the danger the snake has fled to the roof of an adjacent building.

call us when it comes down to you ok ok bye ok i will. leave or equipment will reach the snake at that height. by that's what. she did not maybe we could have caught it if we derived earlier. in the address wasn't clear so unfortunately it took a little longer. walks and now. they return to the station even if it didn't work out this morning so in taiwan come has already called dozens of snakes you can't exactly say how many he also doesn't know how many are in the cages stacked up behind the station and that's the result of less than 2 weeks' work. when he began training to become a firefighter one can never imagine what it end up doing. getting

the fact that i'd also have to catch nick's made me nervous. but i learned a lot very quickly like which snakes are poisonous and which aren't i realize that they're not that scary. the next call comes in the woman on the phone is unable to give accurate details about the snake unfortunately this is not unusual explains the head of the fire station. it would help us if the callers could describe the snake tell us what it looks like or even better what kind of snake it is. most of them are obviously in panic thinking only help there's a snake a snake in my house. it doesn't take some time and his colleague has long. to find the right address this time.

the lady of the house is relieved that helpers arrived. on my. first we have to find out exactly where the snake is hiding. we have to see it with our own eyes so that we know whether it's poisonous or not the housekeeper says she saw the snake here between these flower pots. scribe the snake what color is a. got it call when i went into the garden along the side of the house suddenly the snake snapped at me. luckily it missed my forte but only by a few centimeters. so in taiwan chum knows that snakes like to look for drying sports like this one is specially during rainy season anyone who needs junk in the

garden shouldn't be surprised if they suddenly find an unwanted gassed. the firefighters take everything apart bit by bit the snake could be looking any way. that this one has head under a sob after a brief discussion the men make their move. ok yeah i.

think you're the one that. i think. this is the so-called rat snake it's about a metre long. it may not be poisonous that should be handled with care. if it does bite you should always have the untreated type that has a very sharp teeth. rats snakes are especially agile and quite aggressive the firefighters have to use the extreme cannot to get better. ok good that i tina every catch is different but that this one was fairly easy we knew whereabouts where the snake was hiding it also wasn't very big and a lot of the time we have to deal with pythons you know that's

a different caliber altogether for those we sometimes call in reinforcements to firefighters aren't enough. but i like. many people die. before they get back to the station the next emergency call comes in an uninvited visitor in the bedroom they better hurry. when. it's important to know the city shortcuts so you don't waste too much time in traffic jams we have to hurry all the time because there's always somebody waiting for help somewhere. where do they see this nick. not just make a monitor lizard. ok so this time we're not catching a snake for the giant lizard let's go monitor lizards can grow up to 3 metres long

they like to break into hen houses in catch young birds or eggs but the specimen hiding in the bedroom isn't that big apparently at least that's what the inhabitants of the house and. let's go have a look at one of the. ok where could appear. maybe under the sofa. or already looked up there in the cabin. and i've looked behind the air conditioner. we have you know we've looked everywhere here no success unfortunately. this.

one for one. but i've. come here we cannot fly anything. after returning to the fire station so lets the rat snake out of the back but the new home isn't much better. the cage hasn't been emptied for 14 days out in the wild most snakes can go without food for weeks so they aren't fed here every once in a while the nature conservation agency picks the snow example and sets them free in national parks. a few of the poisonous snakes are brought to this place bangkok's snake farm it's home to about 50 different species of farm is very popular. locals as well as tourists one reason for that is the daily snake handling demonstration.

or that you. probably believe on. my. research on anti serums to save lives for example is also conducted here at the snake farm. month. sometimes tries to reassure us if you behave properly snakes are harmless he says they're also useful in keeping down the mouse or rat populations or other pests. but i thought i would like to make sure people are aware of the following it's completely normal to see snakes during the rainy season they're very afraid of us humans if you don't want snakes in your garden or house you just have to make sure

you don't offer the snakes any place to hide. or what will clear out your sheds or yards and you won't have a problem. without. soon he's off again to the next emergency not a fire button up a snake all. the melting the arctic. and spitsbergen the temperature is rising 15 times faster than anywhere else in the world researchers here are observing here picture of climate change firsthand. the root causes its month which i've been working here for 20 years and i've seen how things have changed in the sea some education it is just for in that attack. next on d w. is
