in the global corona crisis you can find more information online in fact d.w. dot com and on t.w. social media channels. global 3000 thanks for joining us in guatemala gang warfare casts a shadow over daily life what does that mean for young people dreaming of a better future. a few months ago mozambique was devastated by a site clone one region got off relatively lightly we find out why. the

1st we go to the u.s. where coal miners are suffering from a devastating disease their appeals for support of falling on deaf ears. whether cold minerals or metals for millennia we humans have insisted on dredging our planet's resources the global mining industry earns around $615000000000.00 euros each year nearly the equivalent of the g.d.p. of switzerland the world's 20th largest economy yet few jobs there is dangerous as mining. around $12000.00 miners worldwide lose their lives every year and those are just the official figures. what would that number be if illegal mines were taken into account mine workers often breathe in toxic particles or poisonous gases many suffer damage to their lungs. in the eastern part of the u.s. state of kentucky. coal mining has long been

a mainstay and here too it has a terrible impact on people's house. it's about 10 meters from the car to the house but for danny the short distance is torture. even a few steps leave him short of breath. for almost 20 years he worked in the coal mines of kentucky breaking up rock underground and breathing in coal dust. in dust mask barely protected him. at some point his lungs will fail completely his daughter molly knows that that will be the end of him. i just know if i would just get. you know danny says he felt he had no choice if he hadn't agreed to work under those conditions he would have been out of a job. right now his lungs are functioning at less than 50 percent if he were from

43 to 43 if i had to even go get the phone you know we didn't have you know i'll just go down a few steps away but you know we can feel like. danny has been diagnosed with black lung disease at 45 he's no longer able to work with his income gone his family is close to financial ruin it's a fate shared by thousands of people in the area. in eastern kentucky coal mining has long been a mainstay of the economy in the past especially it was difficult to find any other work one former miner jimmy moore tells us most of the coal companies cut corners when it comes to installing ventilation he says they ignore regulations governing the levels of coal dust in mines he too has black lung.

ears if there were an week of week off work. and no church is the big fear we can blow smoke. goes into learns and i've heard my husband killing more. it's not safe i'm not going to work there go on home or somebody else that there was that guy. around a 3rd of all miners in kentucky will eventually be diagnosed with black lung in the past no one knew the exact numbers until brandon crumb started collecting the data in his clinic alone the radiologist has registered several 1000 cases since 2014 he says it's an epidemic to which authorities have turned a blind eye for years. so this is actually a normal x. ray here and you can see that here is the ribs and dark in between is the.

stage 3 is the worst sample profusion yes this is where the law has been replaced by a significant issue with him for information associated with a black lung disease. unfortunately we're seeing all this disease in very young individuals made in their thirty's forty's but there seems to be some trends which including longer work hours you are seeing more cases of progressive massive fibrosis or complicated disease than we ever have been in and states dr krumm sounded the alarm and kentucky reacted but not as expected the new state law says radiologists may no longer diagnose black lung disease now only poll monologist are allowed to assess diagnostic x. rays and there are only a handful of lung specialist in the whole state is furious. it was political you know i think i was probably fathered too much black lung disease on their state workers comp claims and they wanted me to stop. the new law is likely to reduce the

number of patients who receive a diagnosis and it will make it harder for them to get compensation on insurance claims all the federal benefits they would be entitled to. linda adams husband died of black lung 5 years ago the diagnosis was never in doubt but their insurance company is refusing to pay that claim playing for time before the courts and he said it's not quite so. hey you know how many is that no matter what you do don't give up on by climate that's what he wanted done because he had all this other evidence and with all this other evidence. and then that autopsy report come back and i said the doctor looked at it and they start it was crazy this. here this guy that used to live in this next train wreck he has. this girl brother and her father that. day i was 52 years old when he. and her

grandfather also. miners' families are fighting on multiple fronts against. an incurable disease and intransigent insurance companies and now many here feel the government has abandoned them to. a federal fund that was set up over 40 years ago to provide benefits for miners suffering from black lung disease has seen its budget slashed. that's because the fund is financed through a tax paid by the coal companies last year president trump that tax. 2016 voters in this region came out to vote for trump in droves because he promised to create new jobs and to make the coal industry great again the only way to bring back was to give the coal companies a good enough reason till they could come in and make money at it but they're making money after young people are going to have like that. and

it's just not rot. people feel betrayed by the coal mines the insurance companies the state and federal governments. and all the while the epidemic continues. if you're sick especially if you're old you need someone to care for you in many affluent countries care homes are increasingly filling that role but these need to be staffed germany alone has a shortage of nearly 400000 care workers low pay puts many young people off now the problem has reached china and there the long running $1.00 child policy shares in the blame. when you are miss preparing her lunch the 67 year old has lived alone in her beijing apartment since her husband died

earlier this year our only child has also passed away john's daughter lost her life in a car accident 15 years ago. general walker when i feel so helpless and wish the communist party used to say that each family was only allowed one child. and that the state would take care of us when we got old down and out and now that we are old and they're just not keeping their promise that we need blazed a bit back. she doesn't want to think about what will happen in a few years when she can no longer take care of herself. many aging chinese face an uncertain future more than 240000000 people aged over 60 live in the republic of china some projections say that by 2051 in 3 chinese will be old aged the reason goes back to china's one child policy which stood for over 30 years this led

to a disproportionately aging population the law changed in 2016 to allow 2 children per couple. chinese tradition requires children to take in the aging parents and care for them and their own homes but that's becoming less feasible. maoism a privately run care home in the city of tianjin it's a 1st class facility with one camera for every patient. the top floor by an artificial garden. and residents can dance with the monitor herself but this all comes at a high price as much as $3000.00 euros a month for most chinese pensioners this sum is astronomically high there are hardly any old people's care facilities in china and the few that exist have trouble finding qualified personnel. china's geriatric care market is developing at

a rapid pace but still has huge deficits we need more professional caregivers quickly but the training takes a long time the gap is very large. even though the chinese could benefit from using retirement homes they're reluctant to do so. many prefer the traditional system of home care for the elderly. parents wanted to put my grandparents in a home but they decided against it they might have wonderful living conditions and good care is providing my grandparents with spiritual support at home is more important. if i'm healthy or live at home later on we'll see whether or not my daughter's too busy we'll cross that bridge when we come to it right now i'm only 61. homes don't do enough for the physical and spiritual wellbeing of the people who live there i wouldn't live in an old people's home if you so much of.

the house. hasn't had to move into a cafe a celebrity because she lives with her husband and receives care or hire him. her family has enough money to afford a carer i young shoe used to work in a care home where she was paid per patient. and she has more time to take care of one who. i like my work a lot and i'm very patient but i know what your money if one her child doesn't want to eat anything i just wait sooner or later she'll eat again it's my job to take good care of her because all she can do is lie in bed. as the population ages the number of people dependent on k. increases no one knows who will take care of patients with high needs in the future experts estimate up to 10000000 extra care as will be needed to meet demand in the

coming years. i don't think china is ready the number of elderly people is rising rapidly. so the care system can't be expanded quickly enough to keep up. the only thing we can do is learn from countries with good care systems to reach young for example the u.s. and japan. that's what the government is trying to do there reforming nursing care insurance and opening up the market for caregiving to attract international investors but long term plans do not exist. the state pension system is also struggling projections from the chinese academy of social sciences a bleak in just 15 years the state pension fund could dry up pensions are barely enough to survive on when joanne receives 500 euros

a month she's still paying off the bells from the cost of caring for her now deceased husband other chinese seniors rely on receiving care from their only child but $1.00 has to take care of herself. mozambique in march of this year it's almost impossible to tell where the ocean ends and land begins cyclometer i left entire regions under water more than $1000.00 people lost their lives the country is still suffering the effects. our reporter stephanie traveled there with his team 5 months after the event for our global ideas series. he visited the inland national park a wetlands region that's helping the coast recover from the storm. the town of new zealand lies at the mouth of the plume way river when cycling a diet all through here in march floodwaters from the entire region flowed into the

river the poem wave the state's banks flooding the surrounding countryside houses were washed away including dr farmer philippe whose entire harvest was wiped out. for the cycle and came i've been making good progress but when it hit it literally threw me back to square one i'm now starting from the bottom again point 0. point 3 . things would have been even worse if it weren't for the gore and goes the national park this unique wetland landscape lies 130 kilometers up river like a sponge the vegetation in the network of streams and rivers there absorbed huge amounts of water dumped by the cyclamen. marks down and the chief ecologist at the park checks the water levels regularly. he says even today 5 months after the site clone the floodwaters are still draining out of the landscape

and into the pool a river. in fact landscapes can play a tremendously positive buffeting effect very generally kind of attenuate the extremes of weather the extremes of wind and the extremes of water and that's why we need those those big landscapes they also serve as a threat of war. or horse thing by their 1st horse thing systems that are affected for their functioning but this natural paradise is under threat on nearby mt goran goes the residents have cleared huge swathes of forest for farmland forest subacute regulate tree function absorbing and releasing water it was clear that if the deforestation continued many of the springs that sustain the wetlands would disappear. so 6 years ago the park administration came up with an idea instead of subsistence farming residents could help restore the forest by planting coffee

along with hardwood trees to provide shade for the crops to thrive project manager see on our morning shows there's a plantation with 250000 young coffee plants and hardwood saplings. if. there were almost no trees left here at all the whole place was totally exposed to the sun and now with the coffee in the trees we have 2 layers of shade the foam . goring goes a coffee is already a success story more than $400.00 farmers are now growing the new crop that's nearly half the families in the region the park administration buys up the harvest and a guaranteed price those who are looking for an additional income can help with the processing of the beans the project is succeeding despite difficult conditions mozambique's civil war officially ended in 1992 but there have been flare ups at times between government troops and rebel forces. we had some problems at 2015

and had to stop work because of the conflict but now everything's quieter and we can get on with our work force water but we're seeing that it is possible to produce coffee on mt gore on. the community has embraced the idea that producing coffee replanting trees taking care of the forest and helping the environment. the coffee beans are taken to the town of core and goes for roasting and packing while we're there the local man drops in to visit the center he's hopeful that the coffee will not only protect the environment but also help to promote reconciliation. fight is loyal to the rebel group are now most well known holed up in. the hills and forced some farmers to join their ranks as a result there are townspeople who are wary of the farmers africa fire from this

project is a good thing it creates ties between mccarthy grows on the mountain and the processing plant here in town like you know we're not affected by any conflict because the coffee farmers haven't been involved in the fighting this project improves relations between people in town and people up in the hills people say so shawna you are much the better guesser since the start of the project farmers have planted more than a 140 hector's of coffee and 50000 hardwood trees all the trees are native to mozambique the plan is to add another $150.00 hectors next year. if deforestation can be halted or reversed the wetlands of corn goes a national park will be preserved forests protect the park which in turn helps to protect people living in coastal areas as climate change continues well functioning ecosystems will become more important than ever. outdraw philippe has experienced

many sightlines before but he's noticed a change in recent. times from. seems to be getting worse year by one. cycle and floods we had last year reached the porch of my house. like loam this year reached my windows other things are getting worse. but after all philippe has no plans to give up he's building a new house where his old one once dirt hill replaced the mud walls with stones once he has the money maybe nature will spare him next time if not he's hoping the national park will protect him from the worst. and now from south east africa to central america guatemala has long been employed in a kind of civil war between enemy drug gangs the country has one of the highest murder

rates in the world often even the police appear helpless to do anything. but what about ordinary citizens many hope to leave dreaming of a future in the u.s. so europe others up to stay determined to lead a decent life amidst the violence. johnny alexander says if you work on the street you have to be a good judge of people not all are nice and you have to be able to deal with that. johnny is a star of freestyle soccer and he earns a living doing it. almost a dollar that's good. he sometimes makes $12.00 a day. he's 21 and lives from hand to mouth as do many people in guatemala. half the population live in poverty work is hard to come by and many jobs pay

poorly. johnny earns more than the minimum wage free styling on the streets for donations. he's often wondered if it might make sense to leave. studying here is too expensive i want to take europe by storm i think that respect my skills there of course everybody here dreams of going to the united states but i don't know that's very hard now. johnny has an important reason to stay his mother died in january and since then he's looked after his 2 younger brothers they live together in a small rented room there are lots of drug dealers in the neighborhood. they may not have a father or a mother but they do have a brother who can be an example to them so they become good people. it's not so easy to be a good person here poverty can lead to crime and violence. there are areas on the

outskirts of quite a modest city where not even the police like to go. out man however will not be deterred. you wouldn't want to be here after 5 pm it's too dangerous that's when the gangs come out and get down to business. and her team of volunteers talk to people in fight them to take part in activities such as sokka she's courageous people get killed around here all the time. about 10 homicides are committed in guatemala every day. we meet some kids it's only afternoon but they're already high. and we encounter a gang member who tells us what happens when people are out of their heads. you want money to get high. you don't care if it's somebody who works hard or if

they're poor you just want to hold a knife to their throat and take their money. so the gangs have lookouts monitoring their territory. another gangster boasts about his extortion racket. if they don't want to pay we shoot them i say you don't want to pay ok fine i turn around leave and the others attack him. and that's that. the neighborhood is also full of trash gabriella's team up planning a cleanup campaign. it looks as if only private initiatives want to help. the failure of state institutions is one reason so many guatemalans want to seek a better life abroad most head north towards the united states after performing on the street all day johnny goes to school evening classes hosted by a nonprofit foundation. it's a chance to learn something that might help him find

a good job. on the way he meets his 2 younger brothers. they also come here to earn a bit of money with freestyle soccer they bear the scars to prove it. the road gets so hot it burns you. johnny is among the best in freestyle soccer. his brothers look up to him and hope to follow in his footsteps. i love you brother. john is doing a 3 month course in project management that includes brand development pricing labor costs strategy he was accepted into the program on the basis not so much of his grades as on his character because he's honest and clever but i didn't study hard at school and missed out on many opportunities so now i have to catch up on. the foundation has connections to companies where students might one day get a job that could help keep young people from seeking their fortunes elsewhere like

johnny who doesn't really want to leave. that's all from us this time we're back next week and we'd love to hear from you drop us a line global 3000 at d.w. dot com or check us out on facebook. women seizing.
