the scene. 30 years later looks back on the. dresden. storage december 19th. w y i subscribe to your books you meet your favorite writer . calls me. if you have to respond. to. this news africa coming up on the program know and insights to zimbabwe's health crisis the public dr strikes dr zon. overrun hospitals. on the while a leak in the springs dramatically villages depend on it for the livelihood tried to save it from drying out completely.

and you welcome to the program it's been 3 months already and zimbabwe's public doctors are still on strike with no end in sight desperate patients are flocking to mission hospitals the mission hospital in mout in the north is seeing double the amount of patients every day compared to before the doctor strikes started the hospital is overstretched and the sake of it keep coming to the view correspondent's privilege machine that he tells a small. mission at a hospital has been. injured these. he traveled more than 500 kilometers to the kind under mission hospital where medical stuff money has to say and he's like look at the left of my book those were

not coming made it was because there were no drugs and there was little. question to look for help. someone told me. the. commissioner was because of us trust wards overflowing with patients in more patients than normal streaming through that goes because of the public strike. but medical staff here feel the way disparate people are philosophy is to accept anybody who comes to our door. regards of race or creed or religion or from geography where there are their rural home might be it's 1st come 1st serve other retreat for the sicker patients to be seen immediately people are coming from all corners of zimbabwe to this health institution situated in their fun north of the country to seek full

medical assistance established in 1961 they're all spittle was initially designed to kit up for the local community but it is now having to be in the bedding of the nation because of the oil going health crises. doctors waking in public health a city are striking the right israelis will be told to be better with drugs and. the government signal and reach for this tracking doctors who november is now required to get its. covenant once the doctors break it we're cutting it does not want to see any more suffering of the patients. company does not want to see people dying it's ordinary zimbabweans like too much. suffering and at the present between the

government and the striking doctors. and to the crises which seared more lives. now negotiators and diplomats from almost 200 countries have been meeting for the past 2 weeks for the un's climate change conference not ask of 25. to determine the welds response the climate imagines he is the u.n. boss we are still losing the climate race on our current trajectory looking at the sea to 4 degree temperature rise by the end of the century but we can choose another path the passive climate action and wellbeing for people and planets according to the un this i held in west africa is one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change in the our it's a hell that stretches from senegal to chad temperatures rising and rainfall as fluctuating this is isolating the spread of deserts and the drying up of wetlands

and leaks in mali league veg and its marshes are designated as a wetland of international importance not only do crocodiles what are bad and fish called the lake hole it's also in life souls for about 12000 people it's now under threat. modest hoddle there is continuing a family tradition as fisherman they've always lived off the lake when you know but these days it's getting harder to get a big catch even worse the lake is a vast parading faster than it can refill by when the problem is that the lake is shrinking and the water doesn't stay long enough like it used to it becomes completely dry at one point in the year which makes us very worried. rising temperatures and even rainfall and soil erosion mean it's tough to farm. 6 and the fishermen have to settle for smaller and smaller catches.

like this is i don't think our children can become fish out of it without personally i don't believe in it anymore. the entire saheli region emits less than 3 percent of the greenhouse gases produced by the united states alone yet effects of climate change here are disproportionately felt the temperatures are projected to rise higher than the global average which would drive the lake and stunt vegetation past agricultural practices have also not helped. oh my god. the people would come down make a perimeter around the lake for farming and when the water levels rose they would go and leave all the rubbish behind. they leave. which would just lie decomposing and building up silt at the bottom of the light so if you aren't climate change until little rainfall to this type of farming practice the lake could disappear in

5 years if things don't change in 5 years that's what i think but the villages are not giving up since 2018 they have planted 56000 trees and are managing their water resources differently to retain the scarce rainwater in the soil to cultivate and plastic can resist temperature changes and soil degradation. we're working on ways and means of making sure the water from the lake does not completely disappear we don't know if we'll succeed but we'll keep trying. as lake when you're continues to dry up it's not just the fish or the water at stake the whole culture and way of life may soon disappear. for more on this i'm joined by bat and g.i.

said leader of the project on about taishan to climate change in mali hello hardwoods thanks for your time so what are the chances of keeping legs like veg now alive. chances to keep legs like that mia live very high if you use similar management methods to get the international community did for the lake shot which is right out 95 percent between 150085 and then stay at the same letter with sustainable agriculture and medicine for road and did very good management system ok now let's talk about how important it is what you know for people living in such areas for the for the ally for the our culture how important our wetlands wetlands in these regions for the local people are very important because most of the people more than 80 percent of the pending on rented acupressure and what they they have been tea and what debate ability is much bigger

in the wetlands let's talk about the projects that you are leaving ok so how is your project helping people to a breeze climate adoptable measure. one big. one because of my projects is the illingworth the adaptation of climate change. with the adaptation of plan a change in the communities of mining we're doing it in front of communities which is more than 5 percent of all money and we had supporting it with. with strategies a lot of guidance on the national net reaching a doctor level and with the development planning and already many many other communities in money of copying of copying our methods and all that so give us some examples give us some examples what are your thoughts on this is. the methods of the forestry. managers for climate smarts. the

road. of protection hurting renewable energy is like many grits and also all. those which end using them as wood and how is it being received by the people in this busy area you receive very well by the people and the people saw how they could really get much in our outcome and how they clicked with their lightening it certainly did that up their lives in the village how they learn in the evening when they hit the villages were lighted how they could keep the. foodstuffs fresh when they put who them nutritious and so on ok now quickly before you go what role should the international community plea in helping the region deal with the facts of climate change that but sure that initial community should step up very much planning finance flaws for

these measures for the adaptation to climate change but it is very important also to ensure that the net of the climate finance is really in reaching the communities that the international community is supporting how they could best implement these measures and the donors also plate to get that that they cooperate instead of that every donor wants to have this thing which is i'm only in part for germany for france and so on. ok ok how much where and jazz that project leader and by michael marty thank you. thank you so much. it's not only does the hell's own that's affected by climate change this is the famous victoria falls bordering zambia and zimbabwe this is solid nobody looks like now though much less what. about eclipse of the region's biggest tourist attraction the false in summer but experts and locals say the west drought in the century in

the region has caused an unprecedented decline in water levels. but a pretty dry. normal for every day that but it's. just that it does. so this is one day i would see. a hot tea at the story unfolds. well that's it for now from africa you can catch all our stories on our website on fees we leave you with some visuals of the current state of the victory goodbye.
