rising temperatures are an alarming development and they could affect the livelihood of people like cousinly if he needs the colds to keep supplies for his community fresh his warehouse is like nothing you've ever seen before. deep in the heart of the mountain is where cousinly keeps a supply that's because it's cold here freezing cold even in summer some products can be stored here for up to 2 years without spoiling. here we store so flour all transmute potato chips the fruit it's practical and much cheaper than the climate controlled warehouse. even in summer the temperature in this ice cellar is normally 15 degrees celsius below 0 but cousin can tell that northern siberia is getting warmer and warmer even underground.
7:38 am
things are naturally kept cold here in the permafrost now we've covered the cellar up with sheets to keep out the warmth of growth this year the ice summer was water trying to graze war but that change isn't too bad it's ok get a bit more full. but for how much longer in the village of guy there are many ice cellars like has means the village depends on them for it supplies overland access is only possible when the river is frozen for 4 months a year it forms the road in and out. for the generator april we can use the winter of to receive supplies. in the summer has 3 stores get weekly deliveries by airplane from the regional capital. it's expensive but necessary. with temperatures that can drop to minus 50 degrees in winter life in about

a guy is dictated by the cold permafrost still covers the area but it's starting to thaw. this is about i got a crater just a few kilometers from the village it's the largest permafrost crater in the world one kilometer wide and 100 meters deep and it's growing. the crater was originally caused by deforestation as the frozen earth was no longer protected by trees today it's also exposed to the rising arctic temperatures the melting permafrost sets off a vicious cycle the organic substances in the ice decompose as it melts which releases more greenhouse gases which in turn speeds up global warming. what modern processes were observing at the bottom like a crater are things we're seeing everywhere else just to
7:40 am
a lesser extent the ice under the ground melts in the ground collapses but it happens everywhere. but the guys with the butler guy crater is the perfect example of why we shouldn't mess around with the permafrost it's smith as well toys for each option you share. neighboring brace a youngster is otherwise one of the coldest places in the world but this summer temperatures hit 38 degrees it's never been so hot poses here could collapse because of the melting permafrost was the most the most basic and supports in the ground just like all public water and sewage systems. so. if they start shifting there could be accidents. global warming will cause a lot of problems here. so we should. continue but. the earth is also moving and test seams i sell are everywhere there are wide cracks like this 1. 3 kids seem plug's them up with water which then
7:41 am
freezes and reinforces the walls with blocks of ice he says ice is always shifting and the cracks have nothing to do with global warming is that the cupboard will manage even without an ice center it's not that bad let's hope everything turns out ok. for to see him in his ice cellar the effects of climate change still seem to be a long way off and many people here still don't know anything the called for most months of the year but that is starting to change. france is among the european countries that have been hardest hit by the coronavirus and demick many french. are afraid of another lockdown is that she is manufacturer and he remembers all too well what effect the 1st lock down had on his business for 2 months the demand for cheese plummeted as the nation came to a standstill to stop tons of this good quality produce from going to waste the
7:42 am
french were called upon to support the local economy go out and. a region famous for its cheeses they declared a colony emergency there's simply too much good cheese in storage due to the coronavirus french cheese maker baton has close to 10 tons of cheese maturing in his cellars and that's creating more than a storage problem cheese has a limited shelf life in particular have enough for much of the current president. is for more than 2 and a half months you can't sell it anymore the more crucial it wouldn't look very nice or negative 44th would start to appear on the rye and would grow too thick to pull in after more than 2 months or too strong a taste. during the cold 1000 locked down artist and all cheeses
7:43 am
remained behind closed doors thousands of french cheese shops were shut as were the regional cheese counters in supermarkets restaurants were closed as well so consumers were left eating pre-packed mass produced cheeses with long shelf lives. children who were stuck at home with their families found themselves without their favorite varieties and were not happy about it. oh no we don't have any gets cheese anymore. either. for close to 3 months even gore maize had to put up with processed or prepackaged cheese meanwhile across france artists and all cheeses were piling up over a 1000 tons worth soon after the lockdown was lifted the dairy industry coined a new term for margie saul combining the words for cheese paul marsh and taking
7:44 am
action. eating cheese has become a patriotic duty all nationally and by buying in consuming traditional french she says people are being good citizens helping small produce a seed find themselves in difficulty due to the lock down wall and at the same time they're treating themselves to some delicious traditional french cheese that's. campaign surpassed all expectations and has been seen around the world. for farmers like. who owns $39.00 cows the campaign arrived at just the right time now he can once again sell his cable show without any problems but even during the lockdown he came up with a clever idea he contacted acquaintances throughout france and offered to send the cheese by mail enjoyed your coffee. and the folks played along they said to themselves ok we know there were a bit of
7:45 am
a pickle so they spontaneously said yes for the name of. the farmer thanked his customers on behalf of his cows to. don't have a tap you can turn on and off they have to be milked your voice a day morning and night and you have to do something with them now if you. can't pain has hit a nerve. in recent weeks consumption has risen in france and the stockpiles of cheese are getting smaller all the time. she's makers like batons are pleased the french are proving so patriotic. and the more of this patriotism will be needed not just from the french but from all of us as governments introduced stricter measures to combat the pandemic
7:46 am
life in a village far away from the hustle and bustle of the big city that's the ideal for a lot of people in germany actually many refused to move to other places because their families have owned the land for generations but the villages in our next report may soon disappear one of germany's largest energy firms has been allowed to relocate all of the people living in the village of kind back in western germany the company wants to expand its coal mining activities in the brown coal mine of god but many villages are not ready to give up their homes. to the village the greater the threat. and it's far. from. here and the digger is already right there in from. it's about 3 or 400 meters away it's come a lot closer in the last few. only 3 more years that his whole undesigned
7:47 am
would have disappeared to godfather europe's largest open cast lignite mind germany has pledged to phase out cold by 2038 but that's too late for the vid since. they live as an extended family on this historic farm with a 1000 square metres of land mine because what i see and my grandfather was resettled here because of that same mine more than 60 years ago when he was he was told that there was an old farm here that he could take over and he'd be safe here yeah yeah now we're the 4th generation and it seems we'll have to leave again because of the mine. vic the seat. the vincents want to defend themselves but most of the neighbors have given up even though it's difficult for them. but if they tell us that we have to leave then there's nothing we can do about it. they're being relocated from their
7:48 am
traditional sentry's old farming villages to unfinished new settlements the lignite mining company or w e tells us that 80 percent of the villagers agreed to the compensation while many are struggling others think that resettlement is a good thing it's good. there are people who work for our. relatives who do and of course they are in favor because they're concerned about their job. and there are other people besides them to see the benefits in. terms of money the relocation deal isn't unfair i have to admit. but illnesses of village with the orchards the words and the well being is much more to him than a new development that's why he supports the ones who want to stay and fight like marie to address my parents keep saying they don't want to go through it again
7:49 am
having to leave my mother says that often and then she starts to cry she says she would rather die than see a coal digger destroy everything here and take her home like. that is why she and her son co-founded the initiative all villages remain to take a stand against a political decision to excavate 6 more villages in the rhineland coal mining area for me just as far as the question of justice it is not fear that people have to leave their own us because of a 19th century form of energy. that initiative has attracted support from climate activists and this has caused a stir in the otherwise quiet and long forgotten villages that surround the mind for some the protests are a cause for concern but others like the drug isn't see the support from the climate protection movement as a chance to stop the diggers for good. it's given us
7:50 am
a lot of strength there's a feeling that we might actually get into this i think it's a great sign. for villages it's about loss and destruction they don't understand why they have to lose their homes. they say lignite is not compatible with the parks agreement on climate change the resettlement measure is excessive and that residents rights are equal to human rights. trying to keep all of the villages and we won't back down one bit. this weekend around 1000 people came together from the villages and beyond to form a human chain. protective wall for the villages which are still losing ground to the mines. what do you say no to this job offer like robinson crusoe you get to live all alone on a beautiful island located between corsica and sardinia you're surrounded by nature and you're only task is to protect the famous pink beaches talian island well the
7:51 am
man in our next report took on the dream island the guardian for over 30 years but now he's been ordered to leave although his job is still important. but you can't come in here because you see the red boys. roam around he is able to drive these 2 would be intruders away. from you if i were into your they'd already be lying on the beach. would follow their lead and soon the whole place was full of people like accused to be. morandi is defending this. on the island of delhi one of the most famous speeches on the mediterranean it's playing sand is unique. and around he has been caring for this natural wonder for over 3 decades he got stranded here back in 1909 while heading for the atlantic in his
7:52 am
catamaran. marandi happened upon the little islands between corsican sardinia quite by accident. he's living here on his own and watched over the galley ever since at 81 he's still almost comically self-sufficient. when it came to the island i couldn't even change a life. but here i was forced to acquire all sorts of important survival skills. like a modern day robinson crusoe he uses everything the island's rugged terrain has to offer like prickly pears and aloe vera. i also use the as a medicinal plant to treat cuts and scrapes and above all. because the only shady spot on bute deli is by his house miranda is only companions are his
7:53 am
2 hands who keep him hopping here's. what they jump over the brush and lay their eggs elsewhere. so he can't count on eggs for breakfast. that's a dead person is the friend did with supply him with food morandi was once a teacher and lives from his pension. i used to go shopping myself but then i was forbidden from using the motorboat. so now i have to rely on others his days in paradise look to be numbered soon there could be no more rubber boat on the beach and no more morandi and. that's it the administration of the national park on the main island madalena has its way the whole model an archipelago is run from here to delhi included. to build a research station or a new zealand air in place of my. future visitors to the pink beach to better
7:54 am
consciously enjoy the natural beauty before their eyes so. the operators of the national park want morandi to leave 6 years ago the italian government purchased new delhi which had been privately owned they say miranda's contract as the island's caretaker is now knoll and void. in public administration positions are publicly advertised candidates must be suitable and qualified and several need to apply sort of. but morrow marandi won't be pushed out of paradise without putting up a fight using instagram as his weapon he's won close to $60000.00. followers they have launched a petition demanding he be allowed to stay and continue posting photos of rule breakers. i need this life for me it's my mission and i hope the folks from the national park finally get that. many day trippers who
7:55 am
visit here legally in the summer and keep to the prescribed paths think that this beotch or rosa or pink beach needs protection from the tourists towards. and those who've met. agree that he and his way of life are worth protecting to. morrow should stay not just because of the island he makes reflect what are our needs where do we come from. as long as he lives and who knows how long that will be he should be allowed to continue. tomorrow marandi can't imagine being banished from his island paradise he plans to stay live in his hut and continue his work protecting the deli and its pink beach. and we'll be sure it's a follow up on that story to find out if more andy will be allowed to stay on his
