authorities say 157 locally transmitted cases were confirmed on sunday to 36 in shanghai, a city of more than 25000000 people. heavy officials a keen to sell china strict approach as a success. but the zealous pandemic strategy has bruised the economy. and left residents nervous about fair, the mass lock downstream. that's all the nice for now, doc film follows after short break stipends. niko is in germany to learn german polish pinnacle. why not learn with him online, on your mobile and free chest c w e learning course nikos vague? ah

ah, ah, the himalayan glace he is in pakistan a melting away faster than ever. by the turn of the century, one 3rd of their ice sheet could have disappeared. the accumulated water will burst through like a soon ami. the ongoing battle for water in kashmir, potentially

a major flash point between india and pakistan is affecting the water needs of more than 2000000000 people in south asia. meanwhile, an increasing number of heat waves in mega cities, a driving up water consumption and coping with dwindling supplies has become a real struggle for them in here and for a bigger theft here or, and the government is a part of this. of course. i don't see many bucks on is not about it is can a giant tree planting action helped to save the melting glasses we want that we want to restore and being hacked is in pakistan with nearly 20000000 inhabitants in its metropolitan area. karachi is pakistan's largest city and the country's economic center but in

july 2015, the busy port city in the south was almost brought to a standstill as an extreme heat wave reeked havoc in its neighborhoods. with temperatures reaching 45 degrees celsius. more than a 1000 people died of dehydration and heat stroke. in karachi alone, hospitals were poorly equipped to handle the surge of heat stroke victims. the more get a busty shaheed hospital quickly of a field leading to bodies being buried in mass graves. the nightmare from 2015 still haunts karachi. locals 2019 the subcontinent again experienced an extreme heat wave. this time with

average daily temperatures reaching 50 degrees celsius. the provincial government was forced to declare a state of emergency. but this time around the heat stroke would at a bussey shaheed hospital. so no debts among it's patients though, all of and, and i the low room mentally going to be confirming some sam dba the previous hate wave came suddenly paper were not mentally prepared with what i did the artist next friday. ok, good, good, good luck. the father of that was the most important element and the reason why the number of patients was so high and why too many people lost their lives. i mother was making their nest program awareness at noon with me in the years since we have

had several heat waves in karachi. but because there was greater awareness about how to combat heat stroke, there weren't as many debts as reported in 2015 only among will. number of fisher need it was for, by today the karachi administration is better equipped to deal with the problem on particularly hot days. mobile units with water sprinklers provide much needed cooling and play a vital role in averting fatalities, despite heats reaching 50 degrees. this seems to be the new normal and international climate report. places pockets done among the 10 countries most affected by the climate crisis. me in big

cities like karachi, a lack of trees paved roads and toll buildings increase the heat further. in addition, the population is growing immensely in unplanned and densely populated neighborhoods . can i gene the, the track of example, the population explosion small, closer to 50, which became a capital city and it is now the largest. so population, you have more people, you need more water, you know, more shops and factories you need while also miss management garage. you did not manage the veteran swarm of courses with rising temperatures. the population of karachi is consuming more and more water. the city would need several

1000000000 latest every day to cover the needs of its residence. but the local authorities can only provide about half of what is needed. i want, does the karachi water board think about this problem? if you can reach me off, we had on the flat. i could i, it's a distribution problem. we'll bottom karachi is daily water need is nearly $5000000000.00 leaders square can be the distribution process is affected by a bap ration void, but also by leakage and theft will come will be this reduces our output to only 1800000000 leaders a day use some dick is going to one, so we're left with only one 3rd of the available amount of fun. but the karachi water and sewage board is doing all it can to maintain the supply, which is good because water is scarce and difficult to access

the black market flourishes. according to the cities authorities, 35 percent of water is lost before reaching the consumers. where does it go? may be koran cheese water thieves can provide some answers to that question. one of them has been persuaded to lead us to the scene of an ongoing criminal operation. the water thief takes us to a crowded slum and we film the encounter with a hidden camera. while filming the kingpin arrives and agrees to explain how the scheme behind the war says works with. let me divert the stolen water into an industrial area on you. where is it come from? we drilled a well here. he bought away as a boy,

you're distributing well watering. go. warding up on you figure? yes. the water is channeled through underground tunnels to a canal and there we have water storage tank. sink it from there. the water wholesalers distribute the water to the industrial sector, get up on the bigger that's normal. did a little over the normal over and over you the low low to yes. we are also stealing the water from this neighborhood. the water supplied by the government to this neighborhood is being stolen and sold to the industry, but rather exactly where the water from the well is mixed with stolen government, water and sold to the industry has come full. you can reach me by good in it. don't the neighborhood have watered money her? me the money, not as much as it should know that he gonna do though. him good. because you're stealing a 1000000000? yes, every time i think, i mean, that's the deal. amanda figures already attorney like 70 percent of the water is diverted and 30 percent a lot of he said, why don't gonna order was there all the officials of the water board are complicit

with money to be when the water is sold to the industry. they make money as have been that simple, is that simple to water mafia makes a lot of money? ah one. how do you do it? or do you collect rent for this connection? yes it is. go how much amanda? between a $1150.00, vermont has her motherland taken on his mirror and the local governments part of this, of course it done with a visual. how else would we be able to do this? we pay off the police and officials involved on that. so who gets a cut water board? elise, and who else? every department, including the chairman of the water board in that us he takes us to the place where he steals the water, which he then re sells that exorbitant prices while paying kickbacks to government officials are the only ones jumping demanded mr.

blake, in the forgot the hit to where ever there's a gap between supply and demand, sugar, these things occur ishmael, whether it's wheat of common sugar, rice or other commodities, hodge can it will only stop when we have enough water in karachi ticket, but i won't deny that there are corrupt people in every department of your kind of global he, her department, gl theft corruption and decay limit access to water for millions of people. the losses to public funds run into the millions. the stolen water is diverted from the pool to the rich who can pay more for the scanner resource. a 2018 un report predicts that by 2050 some 5000000000 people will live in regions at risk of water scarcity. the u. n. projects that water shortages will displace hundreds of millions of people as early

as 2030 temperatures in south asia, arising because of an increase in global greenhouse gas emissions. the heat is melting the himalayas ice cap, because this area supplies water to large parts of the sub continent. it's also known as south asia's water tower. the glazed c as in northern pakistan's disputed kashmir region, a part of the largest ice sheet existing anywhere in the world outside the 2 poles . but these glaciers retreating at previously unknown speeds in gormet, a village in northern pakistan, the effects are already showing. and according to a 2019 study, 36 percent of the regions glaciers could have melted away by the end of this century. clay c, ologist cetera, puffin researches the sheets of ice surrounding the himalayas. this was once the

area we cared plenty of water from these glacier because the glacier was much higher and you went up to their lower loft, this marines. you can see here this moraine, it shows that they are the lower was much higher so that what it was or that he charging these are edition. jen is the glacier that we had is sensitive to climate, the ex, according to the template yet. and the precipitation when it's the heart, it melts a lot. since 1988, the snow line in northern pakistan has receded by 1 point, one kilometers. a decline that scientists had expected to play out over a 1000 year period has taken less than 30 years. and if global emissions remain at current levels, all of south asia ice could disappear. these glaciers are also important for these families,

while living here would defend on these agricultural for their livelihoods. because you can see this, sir, that this is witty and malicious, yet a deficit area. less than one in these plane areas live at this glacier that people practice negative as yet. so it's not possible without the watches from these glitches ah, villages, like this one. nestled far up on the hill side of the kara core, a mountains are at high risk lakes. that form in the glaciers often breached the ice, causing flash floods that sweep away everything in their path. i shall cut ali is a community leader and local guide. at gould keen glacier, he tells us that pollution calls his suit to gather on the white clay c as which then leads to the speeding up of the melting process. what he a black go?

what a g began the book come up, go blakeney? sure, there are only a few black glaciers and gill get walton because most are white lake, michigan agree. and there are just 6 or 7 black glaciers, whose me one of them to shoot is the go cannot, dickie, goes to the snow is completely covered with mud or escape when the glacier movie just there goes, it brings mud and debris to the surface. but finally got the honey, are you up up on a vera? yea, i am biased it buddha eyes j. we see here that all the ice around it melts and close into this holes, which is connected to the river further down. it will get that he up a point when boulders block its way at austin that the collected water comes rushing down like a title one. if you'd let you know much with a bunny hill excitedly in june 2019

a glacial lake foamed in the neighboring. she's peg leisha. the government hastily constructed a concrete wool to prevent the water from overflowing the banks, but there was no stopping the surge of water that eventually came rushing towards the village. however, in the years time this region is expected to face mass water shortages when its glassy is become too small to provide the water needed 5 major rivers flow through pakistan. the induce jalen, shtaw ravi and st. luke all run across the plains of punjab. the rivers are formed by snow melt and run off water from the glaciers in the himalayas, and the kara corum, one of these glazier lies between india and pakistan in the southeastern kara corum

mountains. the c a chon. the territory of the glazier is claimed by both countries . ah, these gigantic i see mass has been disputed territory since the partition of the 2 countries in 1947. since the conflict cannot be settled diplomatically, both countries have truths on the glacier. pakistan and india have already spent billions of euros on this the highest militarized zone in the world, at some 6700 meters. the conflict continues down stream where the waters that flow from india to pakistan are a source of discord following the partition.

india and pakistan were not able to agree on the use of water, but he, 960 narrow, then indian prime minister and pakistani president con signs the induced water treaty in karachi. the treaty broke it by the world bank allows both countries to use the water of the into the river system the to got reason because i thought a problem. and i'm also the animals. kennedy could never agree on joint management . all it was considered a 2nd partition should take place focused on retains the exclusive usage rights for the 3 west and rivers induce jalen and chin up. while india holds the rights to the 3 eastern rivers ravi bes and sat luge.

the ongoing conflict between the 2 nuclear powers over kashmir is yet another challenge to upholding the water free t. since coming to power, the indian prime minister modi's hindu nationalist party b. j. p, has further escalated the situation. moody wants to build dams that would block the flow of water into pocket sun. once more the indo river has become a flash point with the threat of nuclear war as a worst case scenario. because of pakistan's dry climate, about 90 percent of its agricultural relies on irrigation you're going to have been receiving this water. so when you receive less wardrobe, lambda supplier. so there is a potential source of conflicts and the 2nd redundant in his report. but you, in general, made of specific from india and pakistan and said that climate change is likely

to put pressure on the end of the water dripping, which i have solved the 2 countries when fall almost 3 years. ah, so far, india and pakistan have refrained from settling their dispute over water allocation through military means. but now the situation in the disputed region is once again on the verge of coiling over. most of pakistan's rivers flow through the indian administered part of kashmir. in august of 2019 india took advantage of that fact by releasing enormous amounts of water from its dams into pakistani territory. this resulted in flooding in pakistan's,

punjabi province submerging hundreds of acres of agricultural land. the pakistani government reacted with anger. seeing the discharge of water into the salute river, which flows from india into pakistan as a clear violation of the induce war to treaty. ah, a few years earlier former cricket star and former prime minister imran con, made headlines across the world with a novel idea. in 2014, his party launched the 1000000000 trace unami initiative as a counter measure to the consequences of the climate crisis in south asia. pakistan is one of the countries with the lowest tree cover in the region. the aim was to plant 1000000000 trees in the 1st 4 year period, and the government has promised to plant as many as 10000000000 by 2023.

the hope is to increase the country's forested areas, which in turn will help in retaining rainwater and reduced the rise in temperature . so far, pakistan has recovered some 350000 hectares of forests and greenery. another of pakistan's, short term goals is improving its water management with traditional farming methods . a high proportion of irrigation water is lost due to poor distribution that has farmers like a sheik bungle taking the initiative in his lum abad. he's been introducing drip irrigation to pakistan's traditional agriculture to save the dime and o want that to save time and water and to give water to the plants up to the standard requirements out of the glass, not less, not excessive, not a. that's the basic philosophy you or scott, if you use open field irrigation,

you are bound to use excessive water. bonnie order for the life that he had done with the water and fertilizer are too vital components. and those who are able to understand they use will be successful. gum dia will be knox on pakistan is among the countries that will be hardest hit by global warming, making protection of resources, a big priority which led thus salanza, florida medical gordon, man's name, but i facilitate the in the past 10 years, the government has supported pharmacy how to charter if they have expenses of $65000.00 a year, the government covers 80 percent of it. i believe that includes all drip irrigation i solar panels and greenhouses east lot. the farmer has to pay the remaining 20 percent. this way. farmers can save a lot of money and the country can save

a lot of water. whatever is going away, he will bolt the other day. by 2025, pakistan could become a country that can no longer meet its water needs. the storage capacity of the reservoirs is not sufficient for the growing population and the flow of the rivers has decreased. better water use is therefore key in bringing economic, social, and environmental benefits to the country. reforms are intended to make water use more efficient, improve delivery, and raise awareness among the population

in law. whole people are also rising to the challenge. they want to pressure politicians and policy makers across the country to do more people don't understand how bad it is that are just this year. they were floods an unexpected drains and from job that wiped out a substantial portion of the wheat from that affected people's livelihoods. and for a country where a quarter of the population is out near the poverty line, a single event like that one dream is the difference between getting of a square mean a day or not. oh, a mad rough a alum brings the whole family alone to the climate demonstrations. 20 that he wants to raise awareness about the problem among the younger generation. see, okay. ah, pakistan's youth a worried about their future and the effects of climate change. august on the on this will go the and it's, we're beginning to march in this country now and that's great. values been done.

more than 45 cities and pakistan are participating. we want to show the world that the climate crisis concerns every way from here. ah, i around the world, thousands of actions are taken place. the climate strike of september 2019 was the largest global call to action, and pakistani responded loudly although pakistan accounts for

less than one percent of global c o 2 emissions. it's one of the country's most affected by the climate crisis. one step in the right direction will be to strengthen its foreign policy and effectively negotiate climate issues with its neighbors. focused on march to solve its climate problems has begun with

who i want to make a big change in the environment. being an eagle warrior with head what are they demanding? a ban on plastic toys in india. young activists are also thriving in pakistan. this little girl is designing eco friendly dolls. i call her facade because i in are
