ah, ah, welcome to global 3000 living among the dead and unusual and special district in cairo could soon be demolished. the business of thirst just who is profiting from the global water crisis. and longed for babies in a war torn country, the plight of ukrainians, surrogate mothers, many couples decide. they want to have a baby together. and for most of them, it works out this year. in fact, more than $16000.00 children were born every hour. but what happens if you can't have children? the wealth house organization estimates that world wide around 48000000 couples are unable to conceive, in fertility has become

a 1000000000 dollar business. one potential solution is surrogacy. that's when a woman agrees to carry and give birth to a baby in order to give it to someone who can't have children. according to a study from 2020, the industry is worth more than $4000000000.00 us dollars and is rising dramatically. surrogacy is banned in many countries, but not in ukraine clinics. there had been booming for years than the war came. tatiana is a surrogate mother. she and her daughter left her warsaw, poland, fleeing the war in ukraine, and the questionable business model. she has found herself trapped in the intended parents of the baby. tatiana is carrying live in ireland. log were of the iraq. those thought was on that money is the main motivation. but i can tell you, sir, i admit that i work on all the other women, you might ask word to them that off with almost as much as it's impossible to earn

enough money here to buy a house or it's really difficult. so wasn't as a law, tatiana will be paid $15000.00 euros for the surrogacy. that's more than sheet otherwise earned. in 3 years, several 100 ukrainian surrogates find themselves in tatyana situation pregnant in the midst of war, tatyana was in keith. when russia invaded the surrogacy agency demanded she stayed there for the birth. her own daughter was still with her grandparents and harkey of where they often had to take refuge, an air raid shelters. tatyana asked the agency for help, fetching her daughter to no avail. most i had a surrogacy agency told me i was not allowed to fetch my daughter, my own child. i'm responsible for 2 children. the one i'm carrying in my own zavala, that of i, in the short the situation and hawkins kept deteriorating. in desperation,

tatyana set out on her own and fled with her 12 year old daughter to warsaw. fully intended parents in ireland or helping financially. they rented tatyana an apartment in warsaw and are paying for her prenatal care. but till fiona feels abandoned by the agency. i would not, i would accuse the agency of negligence in their treatment of a surrogate. he will, they have failed to treat us well. me hello, mr. i mean, could have not been like where people to my thought lord, you in ukraine commercial surrogacy is legal and involves about 2500 babies a year. it's a lucrative business for the country that's been dumped the baby factory of the world. but now the babies are stranded, their intended parents delayed due to the war. we met a surrogate mother who asked to remain anonymous. she gave birth

a few days ago. now she's waiting for the intended parents who live in germany. this was her 3rd sir. i could pregnancy, she needs the money to support her own children. low. oh, the intended parents between sienna and her husband have arrived from germany to pick up their baby. all a meeting in a country were having by war. oh no more. oh richard, i didn't. your good, but lizzie's gets to hold her baby for the 1st time. the moment she's been waiting for, it's a boy. they're planning to name him henry. his father is also overjoyed. and i got all the worry and the stress is just pouring out in a few days, the couple planned to return to germany with henry

a dangerous journey. later, the surrogate mother tells us that the agency forced her to travel hundreds of kilometers through war torn ukraine for the birth or chill spanish language for his. suddenly they told me, we are the you come to us or you won't get paid to poses. despite her fear, she was left with little choice, an 8 hour journey through an embattled region. just 3 days before she gave birth. was this just an isolated case, or are the agencies all too willing to put the surrogate mothers at risk? it's hard to find anyone willing to be interviewed or contact and key of rights. 99 percent of surrogate mothers in ukraine don't want to speak on camera right now . eventually, we hear from a surrogate from eastern ukraine who also doesn't want to appear on camera. she writes, my agency basically vanished, but yesterday they called and said,

i have to go to kia to give birth instead of a safe place, they're sending me through bombing and shelling just to save money while i fear for my life. music in the country, the mountain leader biotech scanner is still advertising it. services online is still the war that's claiming so many lives didn't exist. retrieval way carried out as well. the gleaning hasn't stopped its work for a single day medical staff, customer service managers and don't management. oh, how been broken in an in dance? who moved from the 1st day of the room? we asked biotech. com, how it's ensuring the safety of its surrogate mothers. are they being forced to travel through a combat zone to give birth to them as, as the blend in illinois, they stay in their towns or villages as long as it's quiet. they're done. so and when their due date approaches, they have to come closer to where we are to own common. um, as isn't oh gosh,

what it is also possible for the mothers to give birth and other cities, gabana and colonel. during the day, the spokesperson defends the controversial business model, but it's the surrogate mothers who pay the price of school. this number is growing every day in war song. tatyana is due to give birth and hand the baby over to the parents from ireland. she won't be a surrogate again and put herself at the mercy of a lucrative industry that plays its trade at the expense of women, more or no war dust storms sweep over a drought written country. there's no green in sight. the un says droughts have increased by nearly a 3rd compared with the beginning of the millennium. sub saharan africa is the worst hates but natural water supplies in parts of asia, europe and america are also dwindling by 2050,

more than 3 quarters of the global population. could be affected by drought, but water scarcity also brings big profits to regions across the planet from each other. but the same problem, they're running out of water this past spring in klamath, oregon, farmers, wells ran dry. the ground water levels and punjab are so low. nasa alerted india about it and they're not alone. around 4000000000 people experience, severe water scarcity at least one month here. and when the water runs. oh, more comes ah. so why are we running out and who is profiting? just one percent of the water on earth sustains all life and it doesn't just disappear. it travels around the planet in what's called the water cycle. let's

quickly brush up on that. when the air is hot, it warms the water water then evaporates into the atmosphere. there it cools and condenses, forming claps. they move around the planet horizontally and what are called atmospheric rivers. when there's enough water in the cloud range, and if it's cold enough, it snowed. in the spring snow melts to feed river, providing a source of water to land during the coming hot months of the year. that climate change is messing this all up. rising temperatures mean more water falling as rain instead of snow and the little snow there is evaporating, rather than flowing downstream. less snow means less water during the summer and all this means there is more water in the air and less water on the ground. over

time the ground dries out like an unused sponge. the issue with this is that wet ground absorbs water much better than dry ground. so when it rains after years of drought, the water just washes away, leading to things like flash floods. so the longer droughts, lastly, the more water is needed to refresh the lamps. in short, climate change speeds up the water cycle, more evaporation, more rain, more drought, and less water for us. and as the world population grows, we're using more and more of it. the question is for what well, 70 percent of it goes to i, we're culture in some countries it's even higher producing meet uses more water than any other food product and to support those levels. we've changed the natural way waters flow, especially in the 50s, sixties. and also later we've seen really remote down building because everyone

wanted for good reasons to use water is supposed to lift people out of poverty. even on the development to vanish, meyer is an associate professor and water law and diplomacy. i h. e. an education facilities specifically dedicated to one. not only with down to infrastructure, that benefits, economic you, those sector over others, especially local communities. you have an increase in inequality into using water. that's what happened in clamor, oregon, where a series of dams to find water out. also, ada river, water levels dropped, and fish population important to the regions indigenous people on it. 11620 kilometers on job india community they're facing a similar issue. the order

which is from the camera is a hydrologist by training and researches urban water challenges and solutions. india started using more agriculture, chemicals during the green evolution and the 1960 s crop production expanded and significantly reduced famine and job started supplying the country. and later the world with rise at the expense of its ground water. there now, policies in place, temper situation, but the water table hasn't recovered. meanwhile, local people's wells are running dry. and what do you do then? well, you drill a deeper well. me challenge that, give me 1 may not have right affordability to drill deeper every time back of groundwater in fact gave people are depending on the external thought that the water offers. those water are far more cleared than the one that is supplied

by the booming on average, but with less money to spend a higher percentage of their income on the water. a minimum wage worker in the u. k . spent 0 point one percent of their income on save water. in india, the country with the largest number of go lackland safe water got a low income person, spends 17 percent of their household income on water. in madagascar purchased water sucks up in the wordly 5 percent to the low wage workers. incoming water scarcity creates a market light for private water providers who might take over when governments fail to provide clean water. this might have also short term effects, because if the company wants to make money, it's going to make sure that the will just clean provided on time, regularly and so on because that's the way they, they make money. as clean water becomes scarcer, these companies services are more in demand and the more business they get,

the more investors earn. good. privatizing isn't always the way to go. in many cases, it doesn't live up to expectations. paris france in manila, and the philippines actually re municipal as their water after privatizing it. that's because in most cases, privatized water is also more expensive. and then there's the bottled water industry, which is where the almost $3000000000.00 us dollars and expected to grow by around 7 percent break. major players in the market include coca cola and nestle, which have been accused of both causing and profiting from water scarcity. so is there any way to ensure more people have safe, affordable available water investing and infrastructure is the most direct way to improve access both repairing, broken or damaged pipes, and building new connections, as well as wastewater recycling facilities. another direct ways to reduce meet consumption. it takes around $15000.00 leaders of water to produce one kilogram of

beef and the vast majority of our fresh water feeds industrial agriculture. going further, starting a process of decommissioning dams and letting watershed ecosystems regenerate helps tackle the root of the problem. another push is to give nature rights and the courtroom. this would mean people could bring court cases on behalf of rivers, for example, against their polluters. the euro tribe established rights of nature for the klamath river in 2019. still the main problems remain much of the planets. fresh water is unsustainably managed and climate change means there's less for us to use . but changing our diets and restoring our ecosystems can make a difference. a sustainable use of water would help billions of people around the world. in many regions, people have no access to clean drinking water. in one village on the indonesian island of java, or reporter ab rodeo for la met someone who has poured

a lot of energy into changing that here in blunder, a village in indonesia, it's harvesting time when the heavy showers start to fall during the rainy season. bonder is ready, almost every one collects as much water as they can. presidio weedy stores the rain in a large tank. he sometimes collects as much as $100000.00 leeches which can last for up to a year. and the quantity of the water is good. his family uses it to wash cook and even drink, which isn't true of every one. something crane was, it isn't good enough for that. a big yellow bus or i'm all the money that he bought when visitors come or friends from the city because we have to tell them of the, sorry it's rainwater. we often worry that they weren't drinking them. i looked at

it without, once they know it's rain water, they usually don't drink out at the war and they'll only take the little monday through put dot t t p dot doesn't get heavy sidney to instead, many indonesians buy bottled water, but in bunder, that's no longer necessary, most here now disinfect their own water with electrolysis, an electric current is passed through the water which causes a chemical reaction that kills microbes and increases the ph value and with it, the water quality and it was passed to rome. could chito, who taught them how to do as his turn bunder into a rainwater community of which there are now 80 across the countryside who callo general people used to complain about the rain and cuz they got wet in it. she couldn't. now they are happy when they see the rain coming down, their attitude is changing. the villagers can save more money now. they don't have to buy drinking water anymore. they just have to collect and treated for pasta

kitty to water if the source of all life likes the very essence. he spent years experimenting in his small liberatory looking for simple method to improve rain water quality. his aim from the start was to make sure that everyone had direct access to free drinking water. in recent years, the control of a potable water has passed into the hands of private companies. with the support of the government. privatization has meant that many indonesians now have to buy their drinking water monday evening and independent access to drinking water is a global challenge. that who can guarantee anyone an honest and drinking water industry. but there are other reasons to harvest drain water in indonesia. there are few fresh water sources near burned, which is close to the volcano mount morale p. sand querying also affects the water quality because it can increase erosion,

which in turn damages riverbeds. that's why experts encourage the practice of harvesting rain. water renewed at the port then shallow water of rainbow. the indonesia is abandon locked up about 202000 until 4000 really met up a year friday. similarly, a lot of people ended rita already useless war only because of the new technology. they left bird or in war the technology. we will bring back the people to understand to deep, low panola keep for greenwater harvesting. hydrologist august, mariano says storing rainwater is one way of getting through extended droughts. the advantages of rainwater harvesting and treatment aunt lost on people in the cities . either county janice collects rainwater on her reef. as the lawyer, she often takes up the cause of the rural population and the environment for her

drinking rain. water is also a question of ethics. a lot of the water that's bottled comes from rural springs. this people who lives in the phillips, they should be able to get the water for free. but because most of the oh, what are spraying house? been privately private this size? ah, people must buy the water and there's something wrong about it. and i don't wanna be part of it more and more indonesians agree. the government is also having a change of heart and has begun to sponsor rainwater projects. what burnett is doing could one day be common practice all across the country using resources wisely. tell us as karen will be presented, you know i'm really proud to offer it to people and to cite of them come on that

taste this city. it's electrolytic. we treated rainwater aside it, pastor roma could. tito is pleased that the many training courses and discussions have changed things in the village. i am monday people should love water treasuring it's being aware of it's treating it creatively is all part of loving water. and when we love something, we have a positive attitude towards it like that. it doesn't matter if it's rain. water comes from a well, we should value it. and guardian convey valuing rosa would certainly go a long way towards ensuring that future generations and bunder and other indonesian villagers will have access to a healthy water supply. there are more than 30 mega cities on our planet, each with more than 10000000 residents and their number is rising by 2030 around 60

percent of the global population will likely live in cities. but as urban areas get bigger, that infrastructure is struggling to keep up new development projects. in egypt, capital cairo are ignoring the needs of local residence. his home is cairo's necropolis, which locals call the city of the dead. what look like small houses are actually all muslims. ramey grew up here, affordable housing as scarce, and the egyptian capital. over the years, thousands of the cities more moved. here. there are no public utilities. and rami has to provide his own electricity and water. but that's not a problem. he loves his neighbourhood, and his home children being normal i was born and raised here robin. if i had to move away, that would be no life for me. i wish i am shown changing the but time is running

out. a new highway is scheduled for construction. cairo is bursting at the seams. traffic as chaotic and congested. bulldozers have already raised part of the cemetery and new roads and bridges are springing up. many people who still live here faced eviction grammy can still want to work. a few minutes from his house. he repairs old cars for a living. i'm michel dow walla walla. had those hasn't happened yet, but if we are evicted and have to move, all right, it will be very expensive for me. will most likely be on every trip here and back. i would cost me my daily wage and budgeting for them just across the street like the new national museum of egyptian civilization, which authorities help will draw tourists here. but local resident st, no benefit in it. environmental lawyer admit us, i edi says,

it's another example of planning by decree which rides maf shot over the poorest and the city as us land enough, a distorted li, gyptian constitution always talks about sustainable development. i meaning development that takes into account all aspects of life, including social, economic, environmental, and archaeological development. to melinda, when there are no public hearings for proposed projects that affect sustainability, and it doesn't win over local resident public in the morning. and as a looking more and more historic buildings are vanishing from cairo cityscape to make way for highways and new apartments. architect, honey of vicky is in charge of the latest initiative to relieve the traffic gridlock in the area near the cemetery limited. the lesson with neil building this new highway is very important. otherwise the traffic here has cars creeping along at 5 kilometers an hour. but that's

a waste of time and people can't get to work with and it's a waste of energy of gasoline and diesel. so it creates a lot of pollution. we are in pollution, paved roads, sturdy or houses, electricity and running water. ramey would like all that too. but not at the cost of moving away. i like my neighborhood. i, my friends are here, my relatives, siblings. everything. rami knows every nook and cranny, here. but soon he'll probably have to find a new home, a long way from the city of the dead. and that's all from us at global 3000 this week. thank you for watching and don't forget to drop us a line with your feedback, global 3000 at c, w dot com. he can find us on facebook to d w global ideas. see you next week. take care.

ah! with a joy ride through fascinating worlds. into uncharted deb this our guides know their way around with a strictly scientific trip to some pretty wacky places, with curiosity is required to borrow today.

ah, on d w. ah . not just another day. so much is happening all at once. we take time to understand this is the day and in depth look at current news, events analyzed by experts and critical thinkers. not just another new show. this is the weekdays on d w q needed now. unfortunately, she taught and a south bay mother was going to spend the rest of her life behind bars for murdering her 3 daughters. if you could call me back,

i really need to do anything with i see the site was part of psychosis is an awful illness. postpartum is a nasty mothers nightmare starts june 4th on d w. we need to talk about climate change. does that make you want to switch off? why and how can we change it? how exactly is global warming affecting agriculture around the world? the results of one study are in arming. but 1st we ask, how can cattle farming be made more environmentally friendly? because cows do produce an awful lot of greenhouse gases.
