they provide opinions, they want to express d, w on facebook and twitter up to date and in touch. follow us. oh, i welcome to global $3000.00 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 wells house organisation 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 dramatically. surrogacy is banned in many countries, but not in ukraine clinics. there 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 out of outdoor store. and 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 much as it's impossible to earn enough money here to buy a house. it's really difficult, though, which does a lot. 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 and my own child . i'm responsible for 2 children, the one i'm carrying in my own zavala. i thought of i in the show, the situation in her keith kept deteriorating. in desperation, tatyana set out on her own and fled with her 12 year old daughter to war song. fully intended parents in ireland or helping financially. they rented tatyana in apartment in warsaw and are paying for her prenatal care. but tell fiona fields abandoned by the agency. i'm going off. i would accuse the agency of negligence in their treatment of a surrogate. he will they have failed to treat us. well. hello mr. i mean clear that mike, where people to matos i lose 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 surrogate pregnancy. she needs the money to support her own children. hello. hello. oh, the intended parents between sienna and her husband have arrived from germany to pick up their baby. oh, oh, a meeting in a country ravaged by war? oh no more. oh, you're good, but let's see. and 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 got little to worry and was stressed as though 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 to spanish language for his. suddenly they told me for we are the you come to us or you won't get paid apologise. 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 red?

it's hard to find any one 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. in the country, the market leader biotech scanner is still advertising it. services online is still the war that's claim you 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, have been broken in it and dads who moved from the 1st day of the war. we asked

biotech. com, how it's ensuring the safety of 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 they're due date approaches, they have to come closer to where we are. jones coming up as isn't oh, good. but it is also possible for the mothers to give birth and other cities. good, bad, and colonel. during the day, the spokesperson defends the controversial business model, but it's the surrogate mothers who pay the price 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 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, wells ran dry. the ground water levels and punjab are so low. nasa alerted india about it and they're not alone. around $4000000000.00 people experience, severe water scarcity at least one month

a year. 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, and 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. but climate

change is messing this all up. rising temperatures mean 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 the longer droughts, lastly, the more water is needed to refresh the land. 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 madame building, because everyone wanted for good reasons to use teresa 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 water. not only with down to infrastructure, that benefits, economic use sector over others, especially local communities. you have an increase in inequality and was using water. that's what happened in clamor, oregon, where a series of dams to find water out. also,

river water levels dropped. and fish population important to the regions indigenous people, limited to 11620 kilometers on jobs. india communities are facing a similar issue the order which is from the camera. the sack is a hydrologist by training and researches urban water challenges and solutions. india started using more agriculture, chemicals during 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 challenge that if we 1 may not have the 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 the lacking state water got a low income person, spends 17 percent of their household income on water. in madagascar purchased water sucks upwardly 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 become 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 worth almost $3000000000.00 us dollars, and expected to grow by around 7 percent brake. 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 waste water 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 agriculture. 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 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 lot of energy into changing that. here in blunder village in indonesia, it's how visiting time. when the heavy showers start to fall, during the rainy season, bunder 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 rain, water isn't good enough for that. a big yellow bus or i'm all the money that he got when visitors come or friends from the city said we have to tell them the, sorry it's rainwater. we often worry that they weren't drinking then that because once they know it's rainwater, they usually don't drink out or they'll only take a little money to put that 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 a chemical reaction that kill microbes and increases the ph value. and with it, the water quality happening that 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 they got wet in it. you could even 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 lives. 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 everyone had direct access to free drinking water. in recent years, the control of the 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. might be damian. 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 morale p. 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 put then shallow water of rainbow. any shy is abandoned slop, about 202000 until 4000 really met up a year friday. similarly, a lot of people in the rita already useless war. only because of 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 aren't lost on people in the cities. either. county janice collects rainwater on her riff. 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, 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 rainwater aside if the pastor roemer had tito is pleased that the many training courses and discussions have changed. things in the village say, 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 doesn't matter if it's rain, water comes from a well, we should value it and get even valuing was, 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 $10000000.00 residents. and the 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 necropolis, which locals call the city of the dead. what look like small houses are actually all muslims are only 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 mums his neighborhood and his home chinese from the normal i was born and raised here in if i had to move away, that would be no life for me. michelle isn't shown changing, 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 face eviction grammy can still want to work. a few minutes from his house. he repairs old cars for a living on michelin dow walla walla. had those hasn't happened yet usual, but if we are evicted and have to move, all right,

it will be very expensive for me. almost looking on every trip here and back. i would cost me my daily wage and budget for them just across the street like the new national museum of egyptian civilization, which authorities hope 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 writes mugshot over the poorest and the city as us, not enough and distorted lee, egyptian constitution always talks about sustainable development on meaning development. that takes into account all aspects of life, including social, economic, environmental, and archaeological development. miller. but when there are no public hearings for proposed projects that affect sustainability and it doesn't win over local residents of abundant. morton and has a lot more and more historic buildings are vanishing from cairo cityscape to make

way for highways and new apartments. architect, honey al fecky is in charge of the latest initiative to relieve the traffic gridlock and the area near the cemetery. limited the lesson with kneeling, this new highway is very important. otherwise the track, the gear has cars creeping along at 5 kilometers an hour, but that's a waste of time and people can get to work with and it's a waste of energy, of gasoline and diesel. so it creates a lot of pollution. we aren't pollution paved roads, sturdy or houses, electricity, and running water. rami 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, work, 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.
