ah, the himalayan glazed. 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 assumed army. 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 think many bucks on is not about it. it 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 $20000000.00 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 mortgage 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 when the little bit confirming some sam dba the previous hate wave came suddenly paper were not mentally prepared. ivy. the orders max friday being of good luck, the google and 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 time mother was making their nest grandmother niss. it knew, leave 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 a whole number of fish. and the biggest benefit was 45. 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 g the track of example of population explosion, small, closer to 50 with the gamma gap between city and it is now the largest. so population, you have more people, you need more water, you are more shops and factories you need while also miss management garage, you did not manage to prevent and swarmed courses with rising temperatures, the population of karachi is consuming more and more water. the city would need

several 1000000000 late as every day to cover the needs of its residence but the local authorities can only provide about half of what is needed. i. ready so what does the karachi water board think about this problem? michigan, i met off, we had a flat. i could i, it's a distribution problem. we'll bought a karachi daily water need is nearly 5000000000 leaders. we can be the distribution process is affected by a bap ration will you but also by leakage and theft will come will be this reduces our output to only 1800000000 leaders a day use from 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 water theft works without any divest the stolen water into an industrial area. bonnie: where is it? come from? we drilled a well here. you bought away as

a boy distributing well water anchor warning up on you figure. yes, the water is channeled through underground tunnels to a canal and there we have water storage tanks to get from there. the water wholesalers distribute the water to the industrial sector. money figure that's normal did a little over the normal owen of, of year to lower the 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 rather. exactly. will the water from the well is mixed with stolen government water and sold to the industries configuration me by good in it. don't very, does this 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 water is diverted and 30 percent. i thought you would also let me said wanna 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? the water mafia makes a lot of money. ah, what now do you think or do you collect rent for this connection? yes, it is. go how much linda? between a $1150.00, vermont her with her mom, alan or his mom 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 all of that. so who gets a cut water board? elise, and who else? every department, including the chairman of the water board in we're going to so 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 him on mr.

blake and forgot to head to where ever there's a gap between supply and demand, sugar. these things occur. ishmael, whether it's wheat can be sugar, rice or other commodities. oscar. it will only stop when we have enough water in karachi ticket that i won't deny that there are corrupt people in every departmental gauge of kind of global d. 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 glass 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. glassy ologist cetera, puffin researches the sheets of ice surrounding the himalayas. this was once the

area which had 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 either geisha genders, the glaciers, that very sensitive to climate. it according to the templates yet in the precipitation, when it's hot, 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's 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, this is weighty, a militia, a deficit area, less than one in these plane areas live at this glacier that people pack the 2nd as yet. so it's not possible without the wattage 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 breach the ice causing flash floods that sweep away everything in their palm 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 with blake glaciers. there are only a few black glaciers and gill get vault estin because most are white leg, michigan. agree and there are just 6 or 7 black glaciers. was me, one of them should be, is the go cannot, dickie goes to the snow is completely covered with mud or escape when the glacier movie just goes, it brings mud and debris to the surface, but public out was going to yeah, you up up one of the data? yes, i am biased it buddha eyes j. we see here that all the ice around it melts ah, and flows into this holes which is connected to the river further down. it will get that he at the point when boulders block its way at austin, the collected water comes rushing down like a title. why did you let joe much with a bunny hill excitedly come 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 salute 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 south eastern kara

corum mountains. the sea urchin, 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, signed 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 and the to got reason because i thought it problems. and i'm also the animals trinity could never agree on jargon. management all, it was considered live a 2nd partition. should take place, walk is done, retains the exclusive usage rights for the 3 west and rivers induce jail, him and chin. um, while india holds the right to the 3 eastern rivers ravi bes and sat lose.

the ongoing conflict between the 2 nuclear power over kashmir is yet another challenge to upholding the water treaty. 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 them that would block the flow of water into pockets. done once more the into the 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 our plan receiving this award. so when you receive less wardrobe, lambda supplier, so there is a potential source of conflicts. and the 2nd redundant is that a board value infected re, germany married a specific of india packet and said that climate change is likely

to put pressure on the end of the water drill team, which i have solved the true 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 punch our 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 rain water and reduce 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 oh, what that to save time and water and to give water to the plants it up to the standard requirements that require not less, not excessive. not that's the basic philosophy oscar. 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 gun. dia toby knocks on pakistan is among the countries that will be hardest hit by global warming, making protection of resources, a big priority. they slid thus tallahassee, florida medical gotten married name, but i facilitate the in the past 10 years, the government has supported pharmacy girls had a job that 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. pharmacy can save a lot of money and the country can save a lot of water. luckily that way he will bowl 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 and 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 the whole, people are also rising to the challenge. they want to pressure politicians and policymakers 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 been job that wiped out a substantial portion of the wheat crop 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. he wants to raise awareness about the problem among the younger generation. the ok, ah pakistan's youth, a worried about their future and the effects of climate change. august unable mission will go to the end it's, we're beginning to march in this country now and that's great. target. more than 45

cities and pakistan are participating. we want to show the world that the climate crisis concerns every day 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. ah august on march to solve its climate problems has begun. ah, ah ah, with

who i am expressway, through the city of the day. ah, cairo's gridlock is now threatening the city's oldest cemetery. it's reckless ever been planning. the cemetery is home to families who can't afford with what will happen to its residence. global 3000

in 15 minutes on d. w is the end of the pandemic in sight. we show what it could look like will return to normal and we visit those who are finding it difficult exceeds his successes at noon in our weekly coping 19 special. every thursday con d w. her i'm, you can, that's what i want. that's hard and in the end is a, me, you are not a lot of to you anymore. we will send you back. are you familiar with this reliance beef? what's your story with women, especially,

fast booster. and then when i drove past the last ukrainian checkpoint in rake of us, i encountered the wall supplement. and finally, the mining donkey, downtown tanks with the horrors that you see. you see the down, you know the last when cake general cleaning yelled a little while you for kyle: oh the right number in entered into bible to hear that it was still that value but i drove yeah go you had a business in mary upon it was a club carry okey lounge bob. just another floor just to most of the space within the basement. it had concrete ceiling variable. so we transformed it into

a lot of it all. i hadn't measured the strength. well for the moment it was comfortable. spacey. that was a grill and so we could cook food and boil won't do you order another. i found everyone doing we're having a blast was bullied usually on when we had people on duty we had scavenger foraging food. we had people procuring water. everything was so organized that we can joke that it's a 5 star bomb shelter. the bumblebee ownership beds. or yeah, it's been snowing and that means we will clean up today. below. but 15 minutes a telegram group where i added all my friends and relatives. since i didn't know if i would ever return, i wrote in it every night, you'll see how it was for us here was les yesterday. basil. so i went to the neighboring bomb, shall to assume that i said we were trying to go anywhere where they were children anymore. if we couldn't drive that, we would bring the 8 by foot. thorsten below,

there was always fear of which you are always afraid that something could land near this bullet hit right here to through the wall. and we often took hits all. but every thing that came at us missed what something had here. oh dear, i'm sure. and here yes, the run down. yes. why did you want to damage a machine? lucky for us that i parked the car in front of the entrance. it protected us. what did you guys understand where the bomb dropped just behind the door? oh yeah, no, no. okay, um i know i was all on the contrary by that moment with him in that car

a grandma died and her grandson and i dragged her over the road. oh, bernard, at balboa, school you. which is that all on my face? lot a lot easier. yes, it's terrific. all you have to understand this is the shelters issue or or the me or i hope the kids will survive on 6 terrible. to see the makes me cry. like they're so scary or screaming. i hope god will saban this important because hearing from just ripping we try our best with ah.

ah, an expressway, through the city of the dead, cairo's gridlock is now threatening the city's oldest cemetery. it's reckless urban planning. the cemetery is home to families who can't afford with what will happen to it's residence, global 3000. next on d, w ah, a joy ride. it's fascinating world into uncharted deb our guides and know their way around a strictly scientific trip to some pretty wacky places. curiosity is required to morrow today.

30 minutes on d. w. ah, with one of mankind's oldest ambitions could be within reach. ah, what is it really is possible to reverse aging researchers and scientists all over the world are in a race against time. the dna molecules though, has 28000000 different power blocks that they are peers and rivals

with one daring goal to out smart nature for a longer, healthier and fuller life. one of the most insightful discoveries in the history of mankind down the hatch. more life starts may 28th on d, w. ah, ah, this is d w news, and these are our top stores polish president. and i do to has said that russia must completely withdraw from ukraine. dude made the comment during an address to the ukrainian parliament, the 1st by a foreign leader since the war. again, what he says, any concessions to russian aggression would be a blow.
