is profiting from the global water crisis and long toe babies in a war tone, 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 wild 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 women 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 dramatic.

late summer gassy is banned in many countries, but not in ukraine clinics that had been booming for years than the war came. tatyana 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 tatyana is carrying live in ireland. mo, god will be at about those toys of done that money is the main motivation, buckley. you see, i admit that a book on all the other women you might ask would to them that off, but almost as a child, it's impossible to earn enough money here to buy a house. it's really difficult. i 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,
9:33 pm
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 harkins, where they often had to take refuge, an air raid shelters. tatyana asked the agency for help, fetching her daughter to no avail. mostly had a surrogacy agency, told me i was not allowed to fetch my daughter and my own child. i'm responsible for 2 children, the one i'm carrying in my own zavala, that of i in the show, the situation and har. keith kept deteriorating. in desperation, tatyana set out on her own and fled with her 12 year old daughter to war song for the intended parents in ireland are helping, financially. they rented tatyana in apartment in warsaw and are paying for her prenatal care for til fiona feel abandoned finding each and
9:34 pm
seized, i'm going off. i would accuse the agency of negligence in their treatment of us are a good he is, but they have failed to treat us well. hello, mr. i mean, what about them like where people to my thought luigi 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 lived in germany. this was her 3rd surrogate pregnancy. she needs the money to support her own children. a little low. oh, the intended parents between sienna and her husband have arrived from germany to
9:35 pm
pick up their baby. oh, a meeting and a country ravaged by war. 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 again, the worry in the stress is distilled, 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 for we are the you come to us. yes. oh,
9:36 pm
you won't get paid to polls 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 managed, but yesterday they called and said, i have to go to keith 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. onto the market 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
9:37 pm
stopped its work for a single day medical staff, customer service managers and don't management. oh, have been broken in and dense, who moved from the false day of the war? we asked biotech come how it's ensuring the safety of a 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. be so and when their due date approaches that they have to come closer to where we are to own common assistance. oh gosh, but it is also possible for the mothers to give birth and other cities hadn't good bad. and colonel, during the time 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
9:38 pm
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 hit, 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 regents across the planet from each other. but the same problem, they're running out of water this past spring in klamath, oregon, farmers,
9:39 pm
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 low, more comes at a cost. 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 clack. they move around the planet horizontally and what are called
9:40 pm
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, me more water falling is rain instead of snow and the little snow there is, evaporates 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
9:41 pm
the longer droughts last week, the more water is needed to refresh the lamps. in short, climate change speeds of 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 agriculture. in some countries it's even higher producing meat 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 reason to use water resources to lift people out of poverty and economic development to the myer is an associate professor and water law and diplomacy. and i and education facilities specifically dedicated to one, not only with down to infrastructure, that benefits, economic you,
9:42 pm
those good sector over others, especially local communities. you have an increase in inequality into using what. that's what happened in glamour, oregon, where a series of dams to 5 water, south river water levels dropped, and fish population important to the regions indigenous people. on the 11620 kilometers on jobs. india communities are 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 crop production expanded and significantly reduced famine and job started supplying the country. and later the
9:43 pm
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, drilled deeper. well, me a challenge that give me 1 may not have right affordability to drill deeper every time of groundwater. in such cases, people are depending on the external thought that the water offers those that are far more clear than what supplied by the government. on average, the people with less money spend a higher percentage of their income on the daughter 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 the lacking state water,
9:44 pm
a low income person spends 17 percent of their household income on water. in madagascar purchased water sucks upwardly 5 percent to low wage workers income. 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 of 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, and 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
9:45 pm
industry, which is worth 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 way is 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. i were culture going further, starting a process of decommissioning, dams and lang, 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
9:46 pm
court cases on behalf of rivers, for example, against their polluters. the iraq 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 in restoring our ecosystems can make a difference. ah, 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 loss of energy into changing that. here in blunder, village in indonesia, it's how the sting tell him. when the heavy showers start to fall during the rainy season, bunder is ready. almost everyone collects as much water as they can. presidio
9:47 pm
weedy stores the rain in a large tank. he sometimes collects as much as $100000.00 leases 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 grain. water isn't good enough for that. bigelow, but now move the monday. when visitors come or friends from the city said we have to tell them i'm sorry, it's rainwater. we often worry that they weren't drinking them, that it was that once they know it's rainwater, they usually don't drink out. or they'll only take a little money to put that p t doesn't get to have to. instead, many indonesians buy bottled water, but in bundle that's no longer necessary. most here now disinfect their own water with electrolysis. and electric current is passed through the water which causes
9:48 pm
a chemical reaction that q microbes and increases the ph value. and with it, the water quality happening, it was passed, aroma gita, who taught them how to do anything. he's turned bundle into a rainwater community, of which they are now 80, across the country. people used to complain about the rain and because they got wet in it, you could really now they're happy when they see the rain coming down. their attitude is changing. the villages can save more money now. they don't have to buy drinking water anymore. they just have to collect and treated for pastor kids. ito, water is the source of all life. life's very essence, he spent years experimenting in his small laboratory looking for a simple method to improve rain water quality. his aim from the start was to make sure every one had direct access to free drinking water. in recent years, the control of the potable water has passed into the hands of private companies.
9:49 pm
with the support of the government. privatization has meant that many indonesians now have to buy their drinking water, might be damien independent. access to drinking water is a global challenge. who can guarantee any one an honest drinking water industry, jewelry. but there are other reasons to harvest rainwater in indonesia. there are few fresh water sources near bonder which is close to the volcano mount moraspy sand. quarrying also affects the water quality because it can increase erosion, which in turn damages riverbeds. that's why experts encourage the practice of harvesting rainwater. renew their the potential of water offer in water. anybody shy is abandoned slop, about $200.00. 200-4000 milli. met up a year friday simoli. a lot of people in rita already useless war. finally,
9:50 pm
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 rainwater harvesting. hydrologist august, mariano says, storing rainwater is one way of getting through extended droughts. the advantages of rainwater harvesting and treatment aren't lost on people in the city is either county. janice collects rainwater on her roof. as a 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. these people who live in the phillips, they should be able to get the water for free. but because most of the oh,
9:51 pm
what are spraying house be in private, private this size. ah, people must buy the water and there's something wrong about it. and i don't want it to 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 say to them, come on that taste this city. it's electrolytic. we treated ryan water aside if the pastor roemer could tito is pleased that the many training courses and discussions have changed. things in the village am. monday
9:52 pm
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. doesn't matter if it's rainwater a comes from a well, we should value it and get even value in wooster would certainly go a long way towards ensuring that future generations and bonded and other indonesian villages will have access to a healthy 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 with me. new development projects in egypt, capital cairo, are ignoring the needs of local residence. his home is cairo's
9:53 pm
necropolis, which locals call the city of the dead. what look like small houses are actually all mazel. liam's really grew up here. the affordable housing is scarce and the egyptian capital over the years, thousands of the cities for 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 neighborhood, and his home chinese from being a mon, i was born and raised here. if i had to move away, that would be no life for me. and age, show me jason. but time is running out. a new highway is scheduled for construction, cairo is bursting at the seams. traffic is 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
