support for this a military offensive is brought across turkish societies across the turkish society not only prison edwin's a.k.p. is supporting this offensive but also other parties the only exception is the program opposition party h.t.t.p. the media reporting is also very much pro offensive very nationalist the media are framing it as a security operation aimed at commenting a terrorism threat across the border we've been talking to people in the city of or near where i am let's listen to what they have to tell us. we support this operation we stand with our soldiers i hope turkey will be as successful as a waltz in the previous operation it will liberate these places on enable people to breathe freely. lives will be easier god willing the border area has always been dangerous because our country was invaded by the p.k. k.

. think this operation is a great thing it's wonderful. terrorists will threaten us and drag our country into a war. we stand behind our president and our soldiers i hope god will never take them from us. now ed those who feel differently don't dad to voice criticism the turkish government has clamped down on critical voices it has detained dozens of people for critical social media posts in the past days so right where we are here is very difficult to talk to people and understand that their concerns because as i sat people are scared to voice criticisms or even the slightest concern about this military operation. 114 for us on the turkish syrian border thank you lisa. now famine and malnutrition remain serious issues in more than 50 countries that's according to the new global hunger hunger index which

was published today it shows that the number of malnourished people increased from 785000004 years ago to 822000000 last year the situation in the central african republic as seen as among the most alarming and of the lack of food is also very critical in these countries a dam in chad madagascar and also zambia climate change is one key factor in food shortages yields of the most important food crops like corn and wheat have been falling because of extreme weather conditions and dwindling water resources that is driving up the price of food and making it an affordable for some in ethiopia the somali region in the country's west has been suffering the effects of climate extremes with several years of ongoing drought it's been almost 6 months since that last rain in this village in ethiopia somali region with almost no vegetation to the livestock is daryn. cometh and her relatives have already lost 8

out of 10 towns and some. lives are very difficult now because we pastoralist are dependent on our livestock goats and sheep started to die in the cattle. this feed came from the un's food and agriculture organization animal specialists are also carrying out emergency treatments and vaccinations to try and save at least some animals. during a drought a most become weak and services that support some diseases that's why we have to treat them somehow we can't do anything for those animals that died but we hope the others will benefit from the feed and the medicine and will survive and also produce more milk. from. the pastoralist communities in ethiopia somali region are dependent on their livestock for their food and income with few alternatives it's vital to save their animals says. the ruling does not believe you

would see little only will be very enormous and have passed so if you see their economy kind of you know less expensive and more efficient to to then protect and serve neighborhoods and before you know last we talked with us 190000 animals will be treated during the super rich or. thanks to the newly distributed feed families say their animals are looking stronger. i was one of the lucky ones to benefit from the program her cows are even producing milk again. our cows milk had dried up but now we're able to get milk college children and the cattle are much healthier. than the management. but drinking water is a people in the village is still stares and most quality river beds are almost entirely dry here in the somali region where pastoralist communities have been suffering for the past 5 years this year the main winning season from march to many

has failed to bring the expected watching the growth the little that is left is not to be shared between the households. sarra such as water for 10 children 3 times a day she would normally need 20 jerry cans. it's herself to just. something about this year we had less than 5 days of rain and there were only small showers so the cross didn't grow properly but there is also a little ground water people in the community have spoken agreement to manage the water that we have so that everybody gets some. hopes are high for this small rainy season that usually comes before. the somali region continues to be affected by weather experts expect. in the long term. and for more on that story we have klaus fund with us he's the senior advisor for the world hunger index and he

joins us here in our studio klaus thank you for being with us we saw there in you what we saw there that the higher temperatures are a big issue here there are driving some of the problems that we see in terms of hunger and nutrition tell us how climate change is undermining food security across the globe. let me start a bit broader because you have always hung in countries where 3 elements. the main forces one is good governance if there's no good governance the country can have the best weather and the. good and the food will not come to the people so good governance is something which is very often neglected 2nd one is conflict if conflicts in countries cannot be treated you have in the 3rd one no coming in more and more climate change so we have to see that the try triangle of a challenge than just coming to that last challenge because that is one that has

emerged more and more recent years on the one hand you have this global food system that is a huge emitter you know it does create a large amount of missions and yet you also have to produce enough food to feed people so you know how do you square that circle. you know. as you said it's squaring the circle but what is tried is innovation so 1st of all that you come with new seeds that you come with agriculture that has less emissions that you have . plants that are. drought resistant or flood resistant and cetera but that you want to make the the farmers aware of what is possible to be doing so the that the emissions of the agriculture will go down by themselves but what you then have is that if agriculture is confronted with climate change then. you know the norm

a vicious circle starts you have then the rain coming in late and too much rain then the harvest season to shorten the dry period starts earlier and farmers in some cases have to eat the seeds which then deprives them for the next season for so it's. it's very hard for a country to get out of that vicious circle by itself sometimes but again if you have a government that is interested in the in the benefit of the people and then you can do it otherwise you may need foreign foreign aid and. senior adviser for the world hunger index thank you for joining us thank you so. now the head of ball gary a football federation boris lovely high loss will resign that comes after bulgarian fans targeted england players with racist abuse in a euro 2020 qualifying match in sofia on tuesday those fans were caught on camera
