rasa is now in full control of the port city. they're watching dw news coming up next in d, w, 's, asia, why india is seeing some, a temperatures nearing 50 degrees celsius and whether it's being driven by climate change. also does pakistan's plan to combat emissions with e cause have a real shot at success. they watch it with people and trucks injured when trying to flee the city center more and more refugees are being turned away. families, please see the reason for these credit is with screen ross getting 200 people with around the world.

more than 300000000 people are seeking refuge. yes. why? because no one should have to flee. make up your own mind. d. w. made for mines. ah, visited up the news asia coming up to date, how climate change is driving the severe heat wave on the indian subcontinent. temperatures have reached nearly 50 degrees celsius in india, and people are struggling to go. what does to say about the state of global warming? and who should step up to make a change? an expert on says plus severe heat wave condition to neighboring pakistan to where the government is hoping the use of more electric vehicles will reduce emissions.

ah, i british energy. welcome to the dublin news asia. glad you could join us more than a dozen people have died in india in the past 2 months due to a severe heat wave. experts blame high temperature is driven by climate change. over the weekend, a temperature of 49.2 degrees celsius was recorded in the capital deli. now any one has been to india knows it gets hot, but 49.2 degrees is something else entirely. and india has been experiencing this since march, which has already been the hottest on record, through most of march and april. the indian subcontinent looked like this severely hot temperatures everywhere, heat wave aunt unusual in india, but so early in the year with such severity certainly is. and its impact is visible

at our deli fire, stoked by rising temperatures, broke out in 2 of the largest landfill sites. did have a corresponded money that children reports on what that meant for people working and living around them. 25 rose baldwin sing has been working as a rock bigger for 5 years, collecting paper and cardboard from grieved for his livelihood. every day he spends 5 to 6 hours in this landfill summers he says, are especially difficult for him, or possibly strong smelling gas rises from the waist. then we just be like wrapping up our walk quickly and leaving. without it, we just keep sipping on water to keep going. this is garza will landfill at 56 meters. it is the tallest and the largest of the 3 dump yards in daily. every day these landfills receive a large amount of fresh waste, even as the authorities struggle to process the millions of tons of old accumulated

waste. and when the temperature source during summers these landfills catch fire almost every year. the decomposition of waste acts such landfills, produces meeting a highly combustible gas, which often leads to fire in hot weather conditions. this year there already been 3, fire break out in different sections of the god, the poor landfill. here with the meter, one of them starting in the last week of march, which lasted for 3 days. the landfill fires many fine to suggest are a result of rising global temperatures. these fires into and contribute to an increase in heat and air pollution. those living in the vicinity of the landfills are especially affected even when not on fire landfills cause severe environmental damage. as meeting is a major source of global warming. according to research a dr. rich, i sing proper rece management needs to be implemented to cut down on the docs. a

gas is produced by these landfills. but when it comes to the fire outbreaks, she says, global warming is not solely to blame. it is quandary building and fired of course, by the primary reason the cause of fire is the mismanagement of the least because ideally we should not put mixed weights in the dom site because it will decompose it when you generate me pain entry catch fire either lately while the process to treat that accumulated reeves is going on, it is not yet able to match the piece of dumping of fresh, raised on a daily basis. and the situation we only worsen unless the authorities find a way to catch up. until then, the vicious circle of high temperatures, poor waste management and smouldering land foods will continue to make life miserable for many in delhi. and joining me now for more from delhi is environmental is chandra, abortion. he's also president and c e o. of the international forum for in bottom

and sustainability and technology or i, forrest, welcome, mr. bush and let's just talk about the land from fires around daily. first, would you say there have been driven primarily by climate change but there been difference primarily by high temperature. and danny, over the last one month, has been unusually hot season and therefore day amount of bio mass that is there in these last these last few. presently, the dollar structure in the city, the massive amount, and therefore when high temperature self combustion is a reality. and then for high seat height and bridget has gone computer to the fire and of course you can link it to climate change because i don't think there is any doubt that the heat that we are experiencing in south asia, especially in india and pakistan, is primarily driven by global warming. so what explains this unusual

heat wave? but as i said, there is no other explanation then the fact that we now have a good, a new extreme heat driven by global warming. you don't, that's all the characteristic is important to understand. first of all, the heat wave. so now starting early in the month of march and eat grip. whereas, you know, we had heat from, we have need to beams, but in man june. so it just starting me. there does not much more per longed. these are not a few days, there are no lasting months and cook. there are no hurting areas which will not susceptible to he greets so he knows, for example, we are now larger number of days. and money is now some 75 percent of india of energy needs are met through fossil fuels,

including bonding coal. i wonder therefore if india is contributing to its own heat waves, but of course in guys contributing to it, he may have but so if you went then germany, germany is still use a massive amount of awesome fuel contributing to climate change. so in the us most developed countries and across the water. so why india is off? what's contributing 6 percent of the global emission go to china is contributing close to 25 to 30 percent. you went to about 16 percent 14 percent. so if you look at europe, us and china, you're talking about 2 thirds of the problem. so yes, of course, india will have to take responsibility for what, what is happening. as i said, we are going to be moving 6, but then we must take leadership to ensure that we use but sort of lock will have the big responsibility and everyone is. so yes, i agree that you that india will have the big responsibility. but without

a global collective action, we are not going anywhere it unfortunately we are talking a lot. none of us are doing anything. there is no doubt that there is responsibility to fight climate change of the government level. but i wonder if there is something that can be done at the people level as well, or should people be doing something as well? do you think at an individual level to 5 climate change? i think we are putting too much, you know, some government, i think private sector that you're going to play the number of companies and that you cannot be bothered of those companies today. you know, the top 100 companies of the white glove, 230 to 40 percent of global emissions in india. and the biggest companies are also the biggest polluters. so yes, government's going to have to put framework and picture provide incentives on distance. and if so, that emissions are reduced, but companies also will have to take a responsibility. it is no more about companies only following government policies

. and so it is about individual responsibility. we also must take our own in whatever way we can, so that our government footprint is low as well. right, we left to leave with her for the time being, but thank you so much for joining us and is very important subject. jaundra bush and ceo of i forest. thank you very much sir for joining us today. thank you for being baptist on it was the hottest april in 61 years. and since then the heat wave has remained relentless in the country last weekend. a city and southern pakistan recorded the highest temperature in south asia so far this year. 51 degrees celsius in jekyll. bob life in the city is now dominated by attempts to cool with the heat. many people, especially the very young and the entity, are suffering from heat stroke. yet even under these brutal conditions, people need to keep working to survive, like these brick makers who have to bake their products in the ovens.

and as we had earlier, experts place much of the blame for the regions, extreme heat and climate change. one way of cutting the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change is to switch to electric cars without petro banning engines. in pakistan, they are still a rarity on the roads, but some people say that could soon change clean, quiet cost efficient pocket stones, car market could be at a fork in the road. the government wants 30 percent of all the coast here to run on electricity by 2030. and it's pushing this go with pepsi text cut, setting incentive for people like shaquira. lucky. my youngest daughter, 6 years old, and she's also very happy about that. bob was using the carbon footprints in his capacity, so i would encourage everybody to go for this. but e colors are expensive. only

a few 1000 people in pakistan actually own one. the lack of infrastructure also discourage people from making the shift from conventional cause. but even if there's infrastructure, some say the government focus on trying to cause isn't enough to cut air pollution in cities like who are in karachi to of the most polluted in the world. they say islam of art, you put more focus on public transport where the policy needs to be stronger on is the electrification of public transport, such as buses in particular because but unlike the passenger car, you're going to be using the car for maybe 30 minutes to 2 hours in the day, a bus will be on the road for 1216 hours of the day. so the amount of emissions at one bus contribution, and also the number of relative to the number of people it moves. the bus is a better way of reducing after the government has now put out

a scheme to encourage local companies to invest in a mobility that also includes electric buses and coaches the all at the moment in boarding them and tried to set it up into the market and in the meantime we have steadily shape a electric complex here that all these electrical vehicles called us his job doesn't, would be made. ultimately, the chinese coalition pakistan is moving towards change. but with many challenges ahead, the country will need more time to become cleaner and greener and that's it for today will leave you now with the images from india and pakistan where people are trying to go for the scorching heat into your barca, tomorrow or by 330

i will be is tied up in traffic jams. it's an ongoing problem in the canyon capital. a small start up with big ideas wants to improve the situation. electric buses to reduce moto kid they're quiet and affordable. they can already be found on the streets of 9 o. b. but does the project have a future read?

ah, next dw. we've got some hot tips for your bucket list. oh man, a hot spot for food. and some great cultural memorials to boot d w, travel off we go and gets me every single tie we are living during the most extraordinary time in history of transport.

we'll go pull the electric with.
