d.w. dot com and on social media channels. and literature invites us to see people in particular that i like to see as the kids find strange things grow. my own objects or when i travel to find beautiful. you know the books on youtube. welcome to global 3 thousands no job no home the coronavirus pandemic is pushing the poorest to the brink even in well c.n.a. sions like japan. no rain incites drought is

a big problem for farmers in germany what's behind it. but 1st we head to the amazon where the brazilian forestry commission is putting up a fight against a powerful timber lobby. ever heard of flying rivers this is the movement of large quantities of water vapor released into the atmosphere by the amazon rain forest which causes precipitation across south america and is key to the health of our climate a single tree with a crown diameter of say 10 metres releases up to 300 liters of water in the form of vapor into the atmosphere every day on a sunny day the same tree will absorb up to 10000 liters of c o 2 and transform it into oxygen the amazon rain forest is home to tens of thousands of plant and animal species as well as $320.00 indigenous peoples but for how much longer logging is on the rise in 2019 twice as much timber was felled than

in 2018 and since the coronavirus pandemic began illegal loggers have become increasingly ruthless. it doesn't just look like a war it is one and it's largely taking place under the cover of the dense amazon rain forest these images show one of the brazilian forestry authorities current. that missions one that will later cost the officials their jobs their hunting in the eagle gold mine is and log is sort of penetrated deep into the indigenous peoples protected territory the trespasses are more dangerous than ever not only are they destroying the have a chance they're also transposing the conversion of virus the team discovered a huge gold mine along with ruined forest and contaminated soil. the perpetrators had fled what they left shows how efficient the operation was just that this is an

illegal landing strip it's clear that whoever can build a runway like this house or vast economic resources that you we also have 10000 liters of gasoline over there. this shows how well organized this mining site was to steal gold from the indigenous people's land. the illegal prospect has left their weapons behind most fled from the federal authorities about for the indigenous people whose land they destroy they are deadly danger across brazil indigenous peoples are trying desperately to isolate themselves by building fences not usually part of their culture they frequently suffer from imported infectious diseases to which they have no immunity for us the legal log is now coronavirus the indigenous peoples are afraid. their god and the he thought they trespass onto our land and exploit our natural resources. the government goes along with their fists

. they also want our resources well. it's all the more difficult with the farmers fishing. brazil's indigenous peoples feel abandoned by a government and a president who they disrespect their culture. the curry pinna tribe was almost wiped out by an introduced disease and on our last visit a year ago they waged a bloody battle against the lumberjacks now the chief is calling for help. we could be hit by a double tragedy. the 1st is the coronavirus and the 2nd a massacre. they have already threatened to kill us because of our land. we're cautious and we're afraid. the forest authority says the devastation of the rainforest has well organized financially strong back is

somebody juve's stuff and. they are criminals who must be financed by organized gangs if they have the cash to buy this machinery and bring it here to the indigenous people's lands they're not only destroying brazil's environmental heritage they're also damaging our country's economy because the gold clee mine here will be resold illegally and in secret. they make a quick job of destroying the machinery with several 100000 euros usually they confiscate it but transportation is too difficult and they want to make sure they don't end up in the wrong hands. but despite victories like this evolvement is increasingly fighting a losing battle in the election campaign in presidential year both promise the powerful timber agricultural and mining lobby he would open the rain forest to economic exploitation. funds for environmental protection have been drastically cut

forced authorities have been severely weakened through budget and staff cuts and the pandemic is only making things worse processed. the gold diggers and longer tracks invasion of indigenous lands has been increasing. perhaps because they don't expect the earth or at least to have the stamina as the coronavirus continues to spread environmentalists say both scenarios were his policies and the virus are a deadly combination for the rain forest and indigenous peoples. of the world and brazil are paying less attention and so the invaders have an opportunity. and we can see that they're already using it. people on the occupied land say they are there because the president says he allows it. officials have confirmed that he is the state space agency which monitors the rain

forest by satellite says it's recording a shop increase in deforestation ibama discovery. and even a professional sawmill in the middle of the rain forest centuries old trees strictly protected being processed here. illegal logging on indigenous land this is a brazil nut tree that has been felled this is what's left of it you can see how big the tree was. here to bomb a employees destroy the machinery and it's this procedure that leads to their demise a few days later after the operation became known those in charge lost their jobs media reports said both was annoyed by the persistence of the conservationists meanwhile the public prosecutor's office is investigating whether they were dismissed wrongfully to appease the mighty timber lobby. if it can be proven or not brazil's rain forest and indigenous peoples are in worse shape than they have been

for a long time the pandemic is an additional danger and also a diversion from the devastation in the forest and the actual season of clear cutting and slashing. hasn't even started yet. every bit of rain forest destroyed in brazil accelerates global warming. these images from nasa show how rapidly our planet has been heating up over the decades above average temperatures are shown in red. according to the u.n. more than 40 percent of our planet is made up of dry areas half of which are completely in 1st tile and even in the northern hemisphere harvest fairly is it becoming more common there just isn't enough rain. so it might look green but just below the surface soil here in the northwest german region of brandenburg the earth is dry farmer tim dieter can see by measuring the soils

hardness that years of drought have taken their toll and this year also looks like there will be too little water. just in here i am good because if it doesn't. are now standing in the treaty it's a grain a mix between wheat and rye these are typical grains used for feed and they're actually very resilient in dry conditions but even still we're having to figure out a plan what measures to implement because it's been way too dry again there. was. lower than average rainfall already this year is putting stress on the plants without water their roots struggle to gather nutrients from the soil it makes them grow more slowly and in extreme cases means they might die completely digging deeper there's even less water that's a problem for farmers. or harvesting less so we have less grain to sell

which means less money but we also have less grain for fear so we're having to buy more. on our own in 2018 germany experienced its hottest year on record was also one of the driest with only 60 percent of its average rainfall catastrophic for farmers 2 years on the land has still not recovered blank and river levels dropped and forest fires reached in parts of the country an invasive animals have since also become a problem migrating north as the climate has warmed. but it's not just europe that has experienced change in parts of africa already battered by drought have been devastated by hotter dry seasons and later rainy seasons leading to swathes of crops and animals dying and extreme water shortages for the population. climate change has led to the hottest decade on record. and it's destabilising the jet

stream a fast moving current of air and the upper atmosphere that circles the globe it's caused by pressure differences resulting from hot air from the equator moving north and meeting arctic cold air moving south. but the jet stream would normally run evenly scientists believe increasing temperatures at the poll are destabilizing it is the religions on the floor affecting the amount of key goods coming from some of them not regard to detroit because it is and this imbalance creates weights in the in the in the in this area in which that from school children everything is ok been the jet stream is somehow stable going is you can speak to government here but when. there are some waves that would be too much nor look too much sodden used that happens you get a heat wave. that leads to drought droughts that are lasting longer 2003

was then days now it remains 30 days this a normal situation that is warm warm. from not and so and that it was not seen before and that money did. back in northern germany farmers like tim data are having to change the way they farm and use methods like automated the irrigation that were previously only needed in the south. but the 32 year old farmer worries that in the future it might not be enough. the worst of x. when you have these extremes and in a worst case scenario natural disasters like floods and severe droughts it's obviously really hard to plan it you know it certainly has a financial impact on us you need to work out how to carry on operating how to make things work especially in terms of money. if global warming continues unabated

droughts will become an even bigger problem for farmers in brandenburg and elsewhere it's a prospect that could have dire implications. stay at home that's been the key message during the corona virus pandemic and all very well for those who have a home but 100000000 people worldwide live on the streets easily overlooked by those around them ted keogh sounds of people live in internet cafes and the pandemic nice have been forced to close. for yuki each day life is on hold his current abode a 15 square meter apartment in tokyo rent free he's 30 years old he completed school but has no professional qualifications. so that's a good as well as a i've been living here since april but can only stay until june 8th. until then

i'm supposed to save money went with a real estate agent and find an apartment. it's very worrying but i'm trying to manage. but how he previously worked in a hotel with board and lodging included but the virus ended that he briefly worked in a supermarket but got fired the search for work is tiring. accommodation only for those with a job. a young man in a critical situation the big city has thrown him out. before the coronavirus hit yuki de was always able to keep down in one of these 24 hour internet cafes. and i think it's human nature to just get used to where every you live you just have to keep telling yourself i'm only here briefly tomorrow i'll be somewhere else . but that's not true before the pandemic started tokyo's

$500.00 plus internet and manga cafes provided a permanent home for around $4000.00 people here you can rent a cubicle along with shower facilities and food per night it was cheaper than any hotel or apartment ideal for the working poor and day laborers who couldn't afford anything more marginalized and forgotten. woman of the on the. in yokohama south of tokyo a judo hall is now serving as an emergency shelter for those who are completely homeless they're used to having no peace and quiet and very little privacy. for former internet cafe residents the clock is ticking uki day has come to the government office for those made homeless in tokyo by the coronavirus. he has a roof over his head now his appointment today will focus on job prospects and

finding permanent accommodation the agency arranges an appointment with a real estate agent but he still doesn't know how he'll pay the rent so that. i can't dwell on it too much i still need to think about it but i need to be bold that's my approach. the head of the agency says his team used to advise 30 to 40 people a day since the pandemic the number has quadrupled. but at the moment all got to go to rent an apartment in tokyo you have to pay a deposit upfront along with key money and real estate agency fees often it's 6 months rent a lot of money so we also help to arrange loans and grants. also i think it was. you need a scours the internet job ads and noticeboards but his hope of finding a job is virtually 0 entire areas of the city resemble a ghost town japan was

a new session even before the coronavirus the 2008 financial crisis produced many of the internet cafe residents what will coronavirus poverty do to people. that night. but there's nothing everywhere says temporarily closed and no information on when they'll reopen not even pubs or restaurants are offering anything and no one knows how long this will last. japan's middle class is considered the backbone of society but it's crumbling protective family structures are disintegrating the number of those living in precarious circumstances climbing uki each day is living proof poverty and homelessness may often be hidden here but there are very real nonetheless and the virus has exposed them like it's about and i think that's why i hear of people who fall through the net they'll keep asking us and i mean when i was thrown out of the internet cafe i thought briefly about

sleeping on the street. it's a good thing i heard about the government help center for. example the name u.k. means courage today he's decided to join a queue beneath tokyo city hall where free food is on offer he doesn't normally come here but he's in need before the pandemic for service was offered twice a month now it's every saturday before there were 80 people in need today it's nearly 100. draghi there. are many of them are people who lived in internet cafes and are now homeless. people who were just getting by before but are now unemployed and only have a few 100 yen to their name. beauty each day is hungry today's meal is rice fish and vegetables he has $10000.00 yen left that's about $86.00 euros no money no job and time is running out.

in many parts of rural mexico traditional food and ways of cooking a very much alive and well. the women of chiapas for their recipes and many people working hard to hold these traditions. in the village of cotton as the men set off for work in the morning the women meanwhile are already hard at work they're busy cooking a range of dishes bubbling away in their pots and pans is impressive that's because in the evening they're expecting a visitor someone who's a great fan of their cooking skills. so what are they making. that other herbes to the corn to make the tamaulipas when there's the tomato sauce . tamales are a traditional mexican dish made with

a corn coated with various sources they've been wrapped and cooked in banana leaves . a lot of it a son toast cooks every day with a mother who is 93 years old. yes you still could if. they enjoy cooking. the women work hard in the kitchen every day but they receive no money for what they do and very little recognition yet they are the ones who decide what ends up on the table each day which produce from the region is used and whether or not their families have a balanced and healthy diet. but the women here in cardenas are getting help from a non-governmental organization called d a i it promotes traditional farming methods the n.g.o.s run by

a single family father mother and son have been working together for years. but that it only works because i mediate between the 2 of them. respect is very important to each of us has our own area of expertise. in the town of santiago open are a few hours drive away da i is hosting a local trade fair for seeds farmers from the area are presenting their best corn and pumpkins the goal is to promote local crops and traditional farming methods and also to protect biodiversity. showing the rich variety of crops that are grown here and all the different colors. each color is good for a particular dish or drink each corncob has it's. a reason why it should be grown.

and each corn cob gets registered at the fair with the farm its name the color of the crop and how many rows of corn are on each card anyone who needs a particular variety can get seeds directly from the farmer rather than buying them commercially that's making it easier. for farmers to diversify strain or no the last one doesn't work that this is a around here for example of the black the red and the spotted corn have started to disappear they're not being grown as much as we want to revive these types of corn and reintegrate them back into farming. as in what is the market. the idea of registering each corn cob exactly is designed to encourage the farmers to grow local for rioting rather than buying industrially produced seeds. this corn was grown by we knew gomez. he's one of the local farmers.

on his land or mill per as the fields are known here he grows pumpkins beans and above all in a nice thank you for still here i have yellow corn rice and there are 14 rows of that city. i like to grow lots of different colors i have 4 here altogether. yellow black and red. and sometimes i think spotted or purples the minister more so because they've crossed propagated in the field. corn was 1st cultivated by the indigenous peoples of mexico thousands of years ago despite the many alternatives available these days most farmers here prefer to use seeds from the region.

meanwhile use aliah and requires from da i has arrived in the village of qana as. gender roles are strictly defined in this region so it's much easier for the women here to trust another woman and so we work together. to say leah and the women from the village have completed a very unusual project they produce their own cookbook full of their own recipes complete with photos. there they did the book to encourage women to use the produce they grow in their gardens. and of course we wanted them to be proud of their recipes with. each woman was asked to contribute her favorite recipe describing exactly how she prepares it and which local ingredients she uses the book was given out for free in the village you can also be downloaded online in

the evening the women present a small selection of their dishes but each show what they've been cooking today tell us your name in one country luis today i made a chicken hot pot. made from chickens that were running around the village this morning. then there's a toll it occurring neal a local drink made from corn none of the women here ever dreamed that they and their recipes would one day be featured in a book working with the ngo has helped them realize that their recipes made from local produce aren't just unique but even a key to great a food security and it's also helped many women here to understand the importance of their role so that they can be proud of the work that they do each day. strong women changing the world as we know it on our facebook channel d.w.
