art collectors are cutting and announced some on her 3rd right didn't steal all these more works just to get more money it was trimming they everything connected to jewish culture today researchers are searching for the missing works of art it's challenging for the experts. and painful for the descendants. to someone who did art in the 3rd reich she starts feb 10th on t.w. . more than 12000000 hectares of land have been ravaged since the outbreak of the astray in bushfires in october 2900 that's an area almost one and

a hard times the size of australia. 1000000000 mammals reptiles and birds have died in the flames. many firefighting crews are working to the brink of exhaustion a. heavy rain has brought relief to some areas but it's already causing flooding in others. strangely it was not prepared for a catastrophe of the scale. how could things get so out of hand. our journey begins in the southeast in broken hill in the state of new south wales

. the cullen's live here in the outback the country's vast and remote interior. and when i'm as brennan callen and i live on station which is 60 kilometers southeast of broken hill i spent my whole life and right until. it's spring and everything here should be blossoming but the region is suffering from a severe drought the last raindrops fell in october 28th seen twice a week brendan cullen travels into town to buy drinking water. because he spent a lot of tomboy self driving around so you see a lot. and you think a lot probably too much taller and. you do.

you know something to say. you know i wish or pry for rhein and i think at times we have got together 'd as a community and. you know i had a couple of. 2019 was the hottest year in australia since temperature recordings began in 1910. certainly not look at the 20 i forecast because i'm a wall i mean it just gives yang saudi levels are when they go through the roof 'd and i watch yourself with the. australians currently experiencing the worst drought of its history in many regions the groundwater is running dry that's unprecedented . so what will go in the 1st of all should. brendan cullen has some 5000 sheep the grass is too dry to keep cattle there's

seldom more than a few sprinkles of rain the drought is not just affecting the southeast of the country almost the whole of australia has been hit. in 2019 there was 40 percent less precipitation than average that is the lowest figure in 120 years. it's a bit of a base really are taxes from all angles. so the drought will affect your animals. it'll affect. your mental health and that's faith the whole family. brendan cullen has been forced to drastically reduce the number of

livestock on his farm he no longer has enough water for the 10000 sheep he used to have this would be only the longest dry period where they're trying. to get something but this is becoming ridiculous. brendan cullen is trying to take heart from photos he took after the last rains. he can always look back at what it used to be like and you neither sister in the corner. are going to look at him and. just reminisce and what it can be like. yes the universe is. just cinema wife we've known each other since for a bit $14151.00 of the best things have been i would have just seen or been i would have is to be out of bringing our kids up in the bush and it's a great grounding. i might say some horrible things along the y. but i become very levelheaded there i would deal with some very ordinary situations

because i see a lot of their children help whenever they can but none of them want to follow in their father's footsteps. but when we come home we often help dad i'm going to boarding school sorry i come back to it and i notice things change and i come back and things are changing and it's getting dry air. one factor contributing to the drought in southeastern australia is the south would shift of winds in the cool season which cause rain bearing fronts to bypass the region. climate change is making a strain is unpredictable weather even more volatile. last time i think i have a proper break from any work was probably maybe maybe 2 years jerry i think he had a he had

a pretty good break. the cullen's have gone into debt to feed their animals. it costs them thousands of euros a week to fill the water tanks and buy straw. i'm 45 years of age and what i've seen in that period of saying china or feel it's hotter in summer or maybe i'm just getting way. is just saying c b a lot more drive periods. i mean if anything's going to tip. in a business will be a drill. and unfortunately it's one of the mining instigators of people leaving only and so of saying that before the experience that. for months they've been strictly rationing water for showering and laundry they use

grey water for cleaning or for watering flower beds and trees. just into cullen continues to care for her garden despite the drought the few square metres of greenery served as a reminder of better times. with my own husband i see the pressures of the drought and i see it with with my friends you know it's really disheartening hearing them and their stories to going through hardships and. and we're just not socially we just don't catch up as much as we normally would because people are too busy fading in discount just can't get away. many farmers in south east astray or have already thrown in the towel the question is whether farming will be feasible in the long term the suicide rate in rural areas is almost double what it is in urban areas or suffered from depression and i didn't realise i was suffering from an. i

suppose what brought it on was. just tough periods work so i went into writing or buy saucepans by some people and. i was diagnosed with depression and. spent the next 6 months on. tablets and i found ys in mainz of brain recognize and understand the trigger points and what was said in the off farmers lot stand on their own turf and . and they're very good at that but unfortunately their environment where. you know this is set the ball to what you know the weather. drought brings another danger with it the likelihood of fire fires have shapes this country aboriginal australians have long carried out controlled burns to avoid large scale fires and while these practice is still commonly used in western

australia it's been neglected for decades in some other parts of the country. instead of preventative fires the focus has shifted to containing the spread of fires a lot of combustible brush fire has accumulated. the consequences are catastrophic and not just for australia analysis from the u.s. space agency nasa indicates that the bushfires have admitted more than 250000000 tons of c o 2 into the atmosphere. as fire approaches the sky turns black and then red then the flames arrive. westralia as fire service depends overwhelmingly on volunteers cooks students and lawyers are among those who have been trying to face down the flames. for weeks or even months at a time they have neglected their day jobs to try to save their country they risk

their lives to try to save communities from the flames the firefighters have lists setting out the order of priority in which things should be saved. buildings that serve the community the top of the list and private homes come last. year we're going to swap. them if you want. this firefighting team just managed to save themselves in time. to. act. out. in belfast with.

the trip. to. well. normally it's the sparsely populated remote areas that are hit but this year the fires have come very close to coastal areas where the majority of australians live. the temperatures in the bushfire areas can reach hundreds of degrees celsius almost 2 thirds of kabongo has been destroyed the village in new south wales is just 10 kilometers from the coast. getting up to save half of the old stand we see in the system. at the beginning of january liz lacey was forced to leave her home stables and her horses

behind. the work that. was good thank god for that. most of the 774 inhabitants were evacuated in time before one man and his son help came too late. there's nothing left of liz lacey stables but because they were left on locked most of the horses were able to escape. but that's gone now. anyway. what are we building in. actually we shouldn't really be here because of the trademark for long if it's spinning. ok you should go up.

we're just going to go over the fiscal of the day. so it's not that simple. and it was. full of do it anybody else i'm not a great community we all help each other. ready to smoky air affects everyone especially to seek the elderly and the young the. pollution here is now worse than india's small place capital delhi. most of the villages leave from farming some of their livestock and pets could be saved some escaped but others died a dreadful day. here you know nor some rights so you hear. them who are actually mums in it by the sea and back. 600 pixel years.

yeah it would start again hopefully in insurance is up to. the mine. it's got herring only bought this land for himself and his family a few months ago. pretty quick on the salt water a lot of fuel in there. also houses it was the most beautiful house in the world but we were going to do something with it. this is the project. and you just before you go you. know he's. goats coming goats can come on. scott herring was lucky at least his goats have managed to survive. the sport.

it's it's difficult going to be difficult or that i think if anywhere can do it really working poor through then for most of it's. can do it. after the fires have been put out settles on the roads the fields are destroyed homes for the livestock that did survive there's a shortage of feed shortages caused by the drought and exacerbated by the bushfires . the situation is even more dramatic for australia's unique wildlife. an animal sanctuary stood here in this nature reserve there's no sign of life there's no sign of the dead animals there they're just beyond you know the bench.

if i had to evacuate the animals of the show they could definitely been under threat so the toll on lay is huge i. sorry. chris i think i understand. yes. you know we're going to see. you sustain and i just see a return to the. here then mainly looking after young animals that have lost their mothers. when they've recovered they'll be released as quickly as possible into the wild.

just a few kilometers away volunteers are looking for feed for koalas the creatures survive primarily on a diet of eucalyptus leaves and only certain types of them. if one forest burns down you can simply move koalas to another. tens of thousands of them are believed to have perished in the fires it's estimated that half the koala population may have died. over the years one bats another animal native only to australia but also lost a lot of their natural habitat surely lack looks after these herbivores. thought one better a lucky animal they don't have a lot of impact a surprise going out but it's when they can and out after the fire that the grounds will bit nice and if you change. a lot of guys on the side of the road looking for food in the heat

a little baby sleeping in the bar at this stage. nobody comes back to get them and then after a couple of days looking for mom. it'll never recovery malata never be lucky to recovery mark green gets knocked on. every . 2100 kilometers further north is a stray as outstanding natural treasure the great barrier reef. we accompany one of the world's most renowned marine biologists out to sea. when i 1st. come into a world which i had no idea existed. i thought this was creation. it was what the gods must have created to make something ultra special. shown veron has discovered and studied more than

a 5th of the world's corals. he spent more than $7000.00 now is underwater and the 75 year old isn't finished yet. as soon as i'm in the want to. i feel i'm at home i really do. their very very essence of thing about causes they build their own place to live karl's a got together with alvey to build things the nothing on earth could possibly rival that's how they live and i reckon that's is fascinating it is biology you can get.

the corals of the great barrier reef has been bleaching out for years because the ocean is warming due to climate change and. i predicted that by 2015 the carbon dioxide levels would be so high that it would cause the bleaching practically every year. to build horrible to be rot scientists long to be right it was that's what they have their businesses but it's all happening and the consequences of that have turned out to measure worse than those predictions the earth's largest coral reef system a unesco world heritage site is in trouble. it's exactly like me seeing my family slowly dying of something. it's very grave like. it's very hard to continue when so many people think oh there's nothing wrong and that makes me angry because this is utter

stupidity. it's not just rising sea temperatures that are threatening the reef agriculture is also partly to blame for the dying coral despite attempts to limit pollution pesticide runoff from farms continues to destroy this unique marine habitat. european settlers 1st began planting crops and tending livestock in coastal areas some 150 years ago. this agricultural land use has increased up to 10 fold the amount of sediment carried by rivers and streams into waters surrounding the great barrier reef along with large quantities of fertilizers and insecticides. australia has unique natural treasures which attract growing numbers of tourists each year some 8 and a half 1000000 visited in 2018. but a stranger is also the world's biggest coal exporter and the government continues

to issue mining licenses. one in every 4 astray skeptical about climate change like retired miner tony mcgrath. was that there you were then used to working guys you know you're both happier there but mayo is more temporary like libel or flying where they're not gonna jobs and the fish i'm. a straight not just world leaders in coal mining they also have their share of climate change deniers is it your 100 year goes through pretty hot garlock i don't think it's going to be hot or rude. but i don't have any proof really. astray is biggest and probably best known city is sydney with some 5000000 inhabitants. there are several mining areas in the city's hinterland. 15 year old jean hinchcliffe has become the icon of australia's green movement. for

months now the schoolgirl has been fighting the plans of the indian concern and dunny to build a mine that would increase coal exported by 20 percent to transport the coal port facilities very close to the great barrier reef would be expanded. out 3 major goals firstly for no new sources of fossil fuels including the adani my full renewable energy and exports by 20 saudis and for a just transition and job creation for all fossil fuel employed workers in communities. the strain here has some of the highest per capita c o 2 emissions for a highly industrialized nation. i mean i've spent my life right now surrounded by this constant use of like polar ice caps melting and the great barrier reef dying animals losing their homes and bushfires floods in this really enormous issue which no one is seeming to care that much about and

that's been really scary for me growing up knowing that this is my future and this is what we're leading into. as well as going to school jane hinchcliffe organizes rallies and demonstrations with the help of her friends and her mother. last september hinchcliffe attended the un youth climate action summit in new york. city alone. she didn't plan to become a leading figure in the australian environmental movement. actually i just sent e-mail saying how i'd love to help out if there's anything i could do and suddenly i got a response saying all would love to help your. this girl i'm like oh my gosh i know you guys i know i didn't have it looked at. more than

2000 businesses a banking school students around the country will strike today to demand more action against climate change for months now tens of thousands have been regularly demonstrating against the government's climate policies. the conservative liberal national coalition is coal friendly. but he was. was. was. was was. was was as recently as last november the prime minister still denied a link between australia's activities and the severity of the bushfires i think we've got to caution against rising the anxieties of children in our country we've got to my sure that our kids understand the facts but they also have the context in

the perspective and that we do not create headings r.t. amongst children in how we talk about and do with these very real issues. but the devastating bushfires now appear to be changing people's minds according to a new survey some 78 percent of those trains now want to reduce the use of fossil fuels. this problem. was my because i was i i i. was. the demonstrators make at. erect a link between climate change and the scale of bushfires in a strain. this is not any city issue or iranians you visit how do you.

ensure a sense that everybody. can do what is here joy i can hear you talking to. kids and cats and i'd like it's i don't care it's just someone else i heard such a great. job that stuff was that. was. my.

ego in the. fighting hunger fight. that's the mission this retired police officer. i saw in the police that didn't mean anything for the army i said be much. his project don't you think collects leftovers from restaurants to feed the poor. people in the past. 13 with. an unpredictable hazard. avalanches. they claim up to $100.00 lives to move every winter. researchers are trying to unravel this destructive natural phenomenon. their game providing greater protection with precise forecasts.
