i can't forget the sound of the kalashnikovs. he lives in rio de janeiro but nowhere near the beach. moment you lose his wife always prays for his safe return whenever dimitri on march eans sets off to preach in a dangerous neighborhood a humble he himself grew up in the slums and ended up making lots of money through crime. and fit in and to yourself want to steal. they see it there. unfortunately i did bad things. kill people. that's why today my mission is to convert drug addicts and criminals. will be going to profit he would have to know. he's on his way to a prayer meeting it will be the 1st time he attends one since the pandemic hits.

him that's when he starts talking about his time as a gangster he can do a lot. here what kind of life that i lead i had money and power but i had to hide every night because i couldn't trust anybody. not even my friends . later back at his home he told us he never got a good nights sleep as a gangster but he had had high expectations when he joined up as a poor boy from the slums he saw it as a chance to be somebody. let me see why i was that. i started to take drugs and got in with a bunch of criminals and we would attack other guys. i rose up through the ranks to become boss in the complex.

he reached his criminal zenith in the late 1980 s. and early ninety's a wild time with lots of partying and lots of drugs. dimitrios oversaw a 25 drug dealing venue's as the right hand man of a major drug. fights with rivals were bad enough but attacks by the military police were even worse team caught him by surprise one morning. i was walking down a steep when i noticed i'd walked into a trap they started to shoot. but i don't know i fell i was in shock. bodyguards run off. since then dimitri a has. when paralyzed from the waist down nowadays he spends his days going around

the favelas preaching and trying to get gangsters to reform his own story is well known a bad man who found god in the path of virtue many people here find it moving. slow. he often talks to the dealers hanging out on street corners here. they seem to accept him and they pray together. even those who carry a hand grenade with them just in case. they washougal vienna baby the government needs to create opportunities for the kids here so they don't just make the obvious choice to become dealers or lose their freedom or even their lives but what about going to be going to. those who choose to go clean and renounce crime are relatively few in number. wagner jody vega is one of them

he got his 1st revolver when he was just 15 so i came up but they just follow my rear went well i was soon one of the bosses and had loads of cash. and in the shoot out i was grazed by a bullish couple of feet but i get out the way the shit. nowadays he's deputy head of the local residents' association he helps people fill out forms and deal with the authorities. think it all know me beneath the ceiling mad so all i have left from my former life are bad memories and scars i sleep much more peacefully than i did back then. they are supposed to be bad food to me. he's devoted himself to improving conditions in the neighborhood digging drainage ditches and clearing roads they plan to tarmac this one. when dimitriy omar chines the preacher does manage to sway a gang. stor it's usually during

dimitri omar chines a good example seems to be a healing influence helping others like himself to escape a life of drugs and crime. past. in may 2020 a tropical cyclone hit the coast of bangladesh millions of people had to flee for their lives storms in the bay of bengal often drive sea water fall in land damming 2 of the country's main rivers the ganges and the brahmaputra this can cause them to burst their banks flooding large areas of land experts believe that climate change will inevitably make extreme weather more common the country's annual monsoon rains are already becoming increasingly heavy. they also fear that by the end of the century sea levels around bangladesh could rise by $1.00 to $1.00 and a half meters najera as of the low lying country would then be submerged under water. in southern bangladesh the monsoon rains are getting heavier

year by year and that means ever more extensive flooding. nowadays overdone mondo's fields are not just under water during monsoon season but for a full 8 months of the year so he's turned to growing vegetables on floating beds the water here is fresh not salty mana has become a farming pioneer by reviving a technique that dates back many centuries. but i got i learnt from my father a few plants on the water but he didn't do it systematically. i have one we've developed the technique further we don't really have any other option if we don't want to starve. mahler has got used to spending much of his life in and on water the venture is proving very successful.

the goods are growing fast they're almost ready to harvest. grown on water taste better and contain more visible well we don't need any chemical fertilizers or pesticides so these vegetables are better than the ones grown on land much better. seedlings have already been planted on the adjacent bed the roots store nutrients out of the water the beds are made up of water highest since decayed organic material compost that fertilizers the plants they're held together by nets and hardly move there's almost no current here. all but all mother has become something of a star in his village his income is now 3 times the local average the whole family works on the farm. his daughter is in bedding gourd seeds and bowls of compost they will then be planted on

a floating bed farmers in bangladesh are innovating their methods in response to climate change had the student of the high what's a bit scary is that my father's out on the water all the time. it's getting hotter and hotter here and mosquitoes breed on the water and cause diseases. my father's often ill that's terrible because he is the only one in the family who earns any money so we get very worried whenever he's sick. in the neighboring village of bread fruit tree has just been felled. the timber is form of an under summer day he's given up farming and now only builds budgets. it takes him 6 hours to build a boat by hand business is great he could sell a lot more than he can build. i don't know if you did god i'm going

now you were very busy right now it's not time of year you know the farmers have to take to the water or pour down rock on a you've got to. think for us it's doubly good because we have to use up the wood otherwise it will rot in the rainy season of god i think we still offer the farmers a good price. on the 30th of. mine under some a dad goes to the bank market every friday. he may be 70 but he paddles the 5 kilometers there comfortably. hundreds of rivers flow through bangladesh and they have tens of thousands of trivia trace and low lying coastal regions like here in bury cell division is a growing threat the sea level is rising in the bay of bengal so rivers flow more sluggishly towards the sea and spread out across the land salty sea water is intruding deeper into the interior. for boat builders it means more work on the

boat market stretches for more than 2 kilometers along the san diego river these boats sell for the equivalent of 40 euros they are robust and can carry loads of up to 450 kilograms mohandas some of debt has a number of loyal customers. it all depends on the skill of the boat builder experience i have a boat so people like me but i've had to work very hard to get to where i am now. back at. don roy has come to visit he's an agricultural engineer with the district of thora trees and stops by regularly the government is keen to promote floating farms all kinds of crops can be grown on them spinach tomatoes cauliflowers as well as gawd's climate change could mean that a 3rd of the country will end up under water the question is if floating farms like

here in barrie soul could be developed across the country. right now bangladesh produces enough food to be self-sufficient we don't have enough of a safe food food free of toxins and contaminants floating gardens make a valuable contribution because the farmers use a lot less pesticides because there are fewer pests on the water. at the local wholesale market sells his produce and also seedlings to other farm this. earlier he says they used to grow just rice and that involves much less work but switching to farming on water has proved to be much more profitable. so i don't know what. we might do the son of god seedlings grown on land are weaker ours are more robust and look fresher. so we sell more than lamb farmers.

mother water seedlings or greater demand come on higher prices you know and. more and more farmers and berries sell are planning to switch to flushing cultivation and certainly no shortage of water. to. help you cheat. on their travels on reporters often meet interesting young people like this week's global team from thailand. hi my name is playing i'm 16 years old and i go to the international school of bangkok i'm currently a junior and i live here in the heartland. i

like to go diving because there is no other experience like being in the water it's just you and the water and you feel a sense of connection that nothing you can ever experience on land when you're connected to nature on that level everything just sort of disappears and you just realize how amazing and connected nature is to. i like to learn but i don't necessarily like. how schools are organized so i feel like it puts too much pressure on. getting good grades take cetera instead of just the aspect of wanting to learn. my mom own a parenting seminar company called me into 60 degrees and my dad he just makes business still. hasn't

i currently hope to work in the u. and i think it'd be really cool to just. be in the middle of it all and try to make the world little bit more fair. afraid of world leaders because i have no control over the decisions that they make is what it feels like and when those in power have their own political agendas. that's when things get really scary. but i think you rather. than people become more sympathetic towards others and realize. how similar we are instead of focusing on our own self interests because of that and nothing can work without each other. and i hope that in the

future we can all just come to terms of how everyone is different. yet we all strive for the same thing even if we hold different beliefs we all want the same thing. this week in global ideas we look at the told foaming tanks on the millions of hectares of woodland have already been destroyed world winds to make way for agriculture. in a nature reserve in southern mexico more sustainable methods are protecting by its farm as livelihoods and the forests. it's daybreak and had to cut he is on his way to milk his cows he follows a path up the number you grew up a mountain in the. biosphere reserve in southern mexico. legend has it that anyone

who tries to take something away from the mountain will never return home. the slopes are shrouded in an almost primal mist there's been widespread deforestation on many of the other mountain slopes in the region farmers keep their cattle in the forests that remain. cows grazing on land that's fenced off to protect the woodland. want to copy wreak havoc in the forest or destroy everything contaminate the streams and cause ground erosion so if they run around the forest and it rains there be landslides. hector keeps 20 cows he used to have many more but he got rid of half of them because he knows that traditional livestock farming is bad for the environment decades ago his grandfather switched from growing corn and beans to livestock farming because it was more profitable. 3 years ago hector joined

the project to be opossums which promotes cattle farming that's sustainable and doesn't destroy diversity his income is starting to increase and the environment is gradually recovering. but it's been a difficult few years. for him at the hall leave the article out of my argued with my father but i was the 1st obstacle i had to overcome hasn't been easy but i asked him to give me a chance. moment of weight if you think that was what i took the risk by small farm i went through some hard times very hard times i moved my cows constantly but the yields were low. which i later. indigenous farmers traditionally let their livestock graze in forest pastures and also grew vegetables their methods were sustainable their expertise had largely

been lost now their descendants are looking to revive it and save the cloud forest . jose antonio jimenez coordinates the b.-o. power source project in the state of chiapas reading all 4 of our. meticulous planning facilitates the farmers switch to the climate smart livestock concept. you knows the region well and can provide practical support when necessary. the biggest challenge he faces is convincing the farmers to change the way they've always done things. up really but not the most we need to work with the farmers to identify problems together we also need to work with them to find solutions when this process taking into account the expertise and experience of the farmers and their families it helps them to learn new things and then we must always factor in what the farmers know. protection through production that's the

motto of the opossums farming practices don't have to entail force degradation some 1200 farmers in the region have joined the initiative most of them are cattle farmers. 1 pm in town still has a herd of cows but he's also cultivating bananas and soursop trees on a section of his land. even though it'll be 5 years before the fruit provides him with a solid income he signed up with be opossums. at the local book of people think we're crazy they don't know why we're planting small trees when we won't even live to see them grow some of them brown look at me about my wife and i hope that even if we never get to harvest the fruit one day our children and our grandchildren will benefit and they'll also benefit from improved

air quality even a little lighter. and oh yeah yeah yeah a year ago 1 pm and tells why fully at out was one of several local women in the village and has to found their own cheese dairy which they run as a co-operative. they all used to make cheese at home by themselves now they've joined forces. the equipment is all brand new and was provided by b o passos. the women produce 5 varieties of cheese. and then we'll head if we went out talk a lot we say what we think it's good that we're making different kinds of cheese everyone knows different varieties so work sperm entering. life and that if we women support one another and then hobble yam. the farming families used to

sell their milk via a middleman at a very low price now they're earning better. the focus of going to money. that was one of the main incentives for joining the project and switching to sustainable production. center with all. the nico they pull. it allows them to diversify it means they can sell their produce at higher prices. is our aim was not only to teach them new technical skills but to support them in the whole production chain from the farm to the consumer. in the. hectare and rosa county you have also invested in a cheese press it's helped speed up the production process and they hope that in the long run it will secure them a steady income. that's all from us at global
