country to seek for medical assistance established in 1961 there was spittle was initially designed to kit up for the local community but it is now having to be the bedding of the nation because of the ongoing health crises. in public health. are striking the right israelis will be told to be better with drugs and. the government signaling hundreds of this tracking doctors in november is now a record. company and once the doctors break at work. there's more to see. any more suffering of the patients. who does not want to see people dying it's ordinary zimbabweans like.

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 know 25. to 10 in the welds response the climate imagine city is the u.n. boss we are still losing the climate race on our current trajectory we are looking at the c 2 for the great temperature rise by the end of the century but we can choose another path the passive climate action and well being for people and planets according to the un the sahara in west africa is one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change in the arid so i have the stretches from senegal to chat temperatures rising and rainfall as fluctuating this is us in the

raising the spread of that and the drying up of wetlands and leaks in mali lake veg and its marshes are designated as a wetland of international importance not only do crocodiles what are bad and fish called the lake home it's also in life source for about 12000 people it's now under threat. more just toddle the is continuing a family tradition as fisherman they've always lived off 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 one of the problems 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. and the fishermen have to settle for smaller and smaller catches.
10:36 pm
like this i don't think our children can become fish out and 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 line 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 of 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 cultivating plants that 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 bet and the i said leader of the project on adaptation to climate change in bali
