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 current mission hospital in mt da in the north is seeing double the amount of peace every day compared to before the doctor strikes started the hospital is overstretched on the 2nd injured keep coming to the view correspondents privileged. tells us more. missionary who has been. injured these leg. he traveled more than 500 kilometers to the kind under mission hospital where medical staff managed to save his leg and look at and i think my book those were

not coming to me it was people there were no drugs and there was little. question to look for help. someone. with the. commissioner was because he's overstretched wards overflowing with patients in more places than normal trimming through that goes because of the public. but maybe cause stuff he feels the way disparate people our philosophy is to accept anybody who comes to our door. regardless of race or creed or religion or from geography where they are their rural home might be its 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 for medical assistance established in 1961 they're all spiritual was initially designed to kids or for the local community but it is now having to be in the bed in of the nation because of the ongoing health crises i. do to waking in public health a city to a striking the right israelis was because to be better with drugs and. the government signal by this tracking doctors in november is now getting its new covenant once the doctors break at work. to see. any more suffering of the patients. who does not want to see people dying it's ordinary zimbabweans like. who are suffering

and at the present between the government and the striking doctors. and to the crises would save more lives. now negotiators under from almost 200 countries have been meeting for the past 2 weeks for the un's climate change conference known as cop 25. to determine the welds response the climate imagine c. 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 best of climate action and wellbeing 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 chad temperatures rising and rainfall as fluctuating this is us the rating the spread of

deserts and the drying up of wetlands and lakes in mali lake veg and its marshes are designated as in wetlands of international importance not only do crocodiles what's a bad and fish called the lake home it's also a life source for about 12000 people but it's now under threat. more distant of 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 rating faster than it can refill by one 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 i don't think our children can become fish on 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 to little rainfall to this type of farming practice the lake could disappear in 5

years if things don't change in 5 years. i think oh 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 your 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. from on this i'm joined by bet and the i said leader of the project on adaptation 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 the international community did for the late chop which is right out 95 percent between 155 and then to 85 and then stay at the same letter with a sustainable agriculture and measures for a rodent 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 hour for the a livelihood 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 depending on rain to a competitor 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 embrace climate adoptable measure. one big. part of my project is the ailing with the adaptation of climate change. with the adaptation to plan a change in the community so 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 local level and with the development planning and already many many other communities in money. being our methods and also give us some examples give us some examples what are your definitions. the methods of the forestry. minister this for a time it's not. a road. of protection

hurting it renewable energies like many grits and also all of. those which are using it as wood and how is it being received by the people it is this interim he received 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 their 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 ple in helping the region deal with the effects of climate change that for sure the 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 protect you don but michael marty thank you. and you so much. it's not only does the hell's own that's affected by climate change this is the famous victory all 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 normally snow in summer but experts and locals say the west
