[000:00:00;00] lou, what people have to say matters to us on me. that's why we listen to their stories reporter every weekend on d. w. a . there is no getting around it. the climate crisis is forcing those all to make changes, no matter where we leave in the world. hello, and welcome to visit the addition of a cool africa. thanks for joining us and a big hello to you to sandra. hi, crease. nice to see you. well, it is true,

temperatures are climbing all over the globe, and water levels are rising, falling in ways we are clearly unprepared for in germany brain and hockey us suffering from for bias. in italy, local authorities, poverty introduced a water rushing mission. the whole continent, husband, heated by climate targets that have been no comparable drop situations in central europe in the last quarter century will be looking on how people are reacting and what they are doing to call me. but we thought, oh, sure, interviews here a country in the middle east, on the north africa region ecosystems, there are particularly vulnerable to climate change. extreme heat causes drug and visit vacation, which in turn is also reducing water availability,

degrading soils on increasing food insecurity. now farmers entities are extremely worried about co pills or at least crumbled, to find ways of adjusting to the new conditions. once again, a wheat field near the city of gen, dubois stands in flames. the magenta valley in north western tunisia is among the country's most fertile regions, and wheat is one of the most important crops grown here. but blazes are occurring more and more frequently, and the fire department often spends days quite in them. the flint spread quickly, due to extreme aridity, largely caused by a climate change. when we look, i'm historical climate data,

we can clearly see that the temperature since the beginning of the 21st century has arises em. and we are now generally speaking about 1.2 degrees above her at pre industrial level. and this is also the case for north africa and also what you need. yeah. it's 45 degrees social's, just 50 kilometers away in l. crim. pharma up drove our folly, isn't willing to sit around and hope that his wheat won't also go up in flames. so he decided to harvest his crop in may, june an entire both earlier than usual with the moon and the farmers fear fires and monitor the land day at night. we must harvest now even if that reduces the weeds quantity and quality enough. so although he has less to sell his hobbies is assured better than everything going up in smoke environmental engineer hatchett

has long been following the effects of climate change into asia. but this is not the only problem or the north african country has to cope with. ms. and look at the ukranian russian conflict as well as climate change. i mean measures confronted with many challenges as it attempts to me. it's domestic grain needs, especially in a market where prices are increasing every day and where grain is scarce and highly sought after. one tony's year normally in ports, much of its wheat from ukraine. should these impulse fail to materialize. tunisian farmers will need to supply more widow ready suffering from the heat in the long run strategies and needed to enable and maybe even increase great production these times of climate change. a many different approaches, adaptation measures that can be tank im thinking of for instance,

i could use water saving technologies for instance radiation. this is always also quite cost intense love, but i'm not even there to yeah, subsidies when he's kind of on technologies. other ideas include, improving seeds or planning come a crops to prevent soil erosion. these idea are already being tested in tunisia. for ob, drove our folly. such changes can't come soon enough. there is not only for his own operations. what for his country's food security too. but for now, his just doing what he can justifiably hint moreover, if the heat within the region continues on that temperatures go even higher, it could cause problems for the agricultural walkers in bringing in the harvest, even in europe, the so my heat waves have spread over the continent aaliyah,

then you shall, does right, sandra, people in france, spain and germany of all the preparing for torrid conditions in italy. drinking water is already been rationed, and farmers are also facing the aspect of property failures. rice farmer, georgia, which a lot truly is worried. he's come to measure the say line content of the water he uses for his crop. all the farmers in the region have the equipment needed to check that salt water isn't spoiling their fields less felony. that means the salt levels are too high, we keep an eye on that so we can immediately shut off the inlet if need be and we get them it. in this region, more and more sea water seeping into the river po. if a rice farmer cannot flutter field with fresh water, their entire harvest could be in danger. list, but alco why diesel? every one is worried about this because of the rice shortage is

a supplies run out. so it's becoming a problem for the whole supply chain. lemme up to daphne in the po, delta should be one of the most fertile regions in europe. usually it has plenty of fresh water. but since november it hasn't rained enough and the po river is running dry. as water pressure decreases, sea water seeps in land, it has already crept about 15 kilometers upstream, forcing farmers to abandon once abundant fields. now there is a plan to raise barriers since that will not help immediately residence in the lower reaches of the po river are demanding that more war to be drained from power . plant reservoirs in south to roll maybe dilute on, illegible. but garrick, italy has a very clear law, is the way when it comes to water use, it says that people come 1st,

then agriculture than the rest of the world. but the economic value of water is often so great that this is easier said than done the in the far but in south to roll, the situation is equally worrying a power plant at the zacalo reservoir and the ocean valley has come to a complete halt. the reservoirs only filter 4 percent capacity. there were 2 thirds less rainfall than usual last winter with not much snow left on the peaks and glaciers that have long vanished there is little snow melt to be expected. when b r a d. so i mean, if we were to continuously deliver the quantity that benito as requested, all the storage facilities and sell to roll and be completely empty within 20 days . and sonic dog completely assigned some people in northern italy already talking about a war for water and the summer hasn't even begun in the po, delta basins for retaining more fresh water. a currently under construction,

if rainfalls cause the river level to rise for a few hours, the basin fills with water. once the level falls again, the gates close to prevent salt, water from seeping in water and the lindsey levels have to be constantly monitored . so, but if you defeat delay centreville, if it's becoming harder and harder close enough to this year, it became extremely difficult. id went out again. and if he could do that, i might say, we always have to be prepared or not only to protect the farmers here, a lot of political glory. the italian boise uses association has calculate that 10000 more such basins are needed in northern italy to ensure that fields can be irrigated in the future. but georgia would chill at all. he needs a solution. now. the salt content of the water is below critical levels to day but he fears that he will have to give up rice farming soon. one would of course gamble,

bang it or the amine the i was born and raised here. this is my home author will try to stay here of possible hudson, what a possibly meant. whether for agriculture, electricity, or drinking water is a precious resource. and increasingly rare. the unprecedented heat woods heat in europe or live in people and animals searching for shades and farmers struggling to water their crops. it's particularly hot in buildings. we are many people sit together. several schools in paris are part of a project that set to benefit the french capital as a whole. let's take a closer look in this weeks doing your bits ha, ah, europe is experiencing especially high temperatures this summer,

with no relief in sight. children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of heat that prompted a school in paris to transform its asphalt covered school yard into a cool and shady area more suitable for the warming climate. was it okay the so we wanted to create them able space is with permeable soil that can absorb, bought. it is also good for the trees. i think it allows them more direct access to water. no matter what chips was the bread on top of the soil along with other natural materials and vegetation, which will be enriched in the coming years. only so want to put an venue so far. 75 schools across the french capital have transformed their playgrounds, under the oasis project, which was co funded by the european union and the city of paris. you are move south, then we'll never will certainly be fewer cases of heat stroke or fewer children

troubled my high temperatures than before. i took a bath, they can go into the fort or sit by the wood chips, which are much cooler than stones reflect. they'll be comfortable and the elevated for the slap going, which are open and ventilated back and they're shaded by the trees. you like them or through that pressure is up. eventually, all $700.00 public schools in the parish area are to get a similar always is of green to the benefit of the children, which anybody with and tell about you. if you are also doing your bits, tell us about is visit our website. oh, send us the tweet. hash tag doing jo, base. we share your stories. what do rock curves? crew is angela. all g have in common. they're all invasive species transferred from

their original habitat and introduce into do echo systems either on purpose or by accident. we had to solve obrigone. we are a water plant looted to south america of developed into od green plague for the rees or remedy. a green mass where open water should be for decades. the problem at hand to be put down in northern south africa has been growing exponentially. the lake is overgrown with water hyacinth, a plant from south america. now clogging bodies of water throughout africa, the invasive plant grows extremely fast. the ecological consequences are dramatic. combat the plant has been difficult despite intense research. price is one of the world's morris to am problematic. aquatic leads. it's been present on how to pass, but damn, since the 1970s. and it's

a massive problem. and they've tried to remove it manually do herbicide applications. but it's still a massive problem. and because it can cover up to 40 percent off the damn survey researchers in south africa have been trying to control the invasive plant for years. well sealed off from the environment. scientists are looking for the water hyacinth natural enemies. and they've made a big find that's only 4 millimeters in size. the inconspicuous water hyacinth plant hopper is also a native of south america. the insect reproduced just as rapidly as the water hyacinth. and the little guys have a big appetite in as much as is a challenge to read this, a plant hopa. we have been successful. we keep every record of insect that is coming out of this facility. just over 10 years, we have released over a 1000000 in states oh,

in this vicinity. last year we have about over $200000.00 that we have released throughout the country. the procedure is not without its dangers. there are examples, world wide of species used for this purpose becoming pest themselves. lengthy testing procedures are in place to prevent that. one of the major concerns we haven't, biological control is that in sick that me release could feed another plant species . so we mitigate that in this facility by testing this candidate in sex on various plans species including native species and cropped plants. and we need to do this testing to make sure that the insects that we released odd will be co host specific . this testing is very thorough and sometimes can take years. it's important for this because once an insect is released, we can't get them back. the tests for the water hyacinth plant hopper are finally complete. the bugs are now being collected and packed were transport. together with

a leaf of their favorite food, they're on their way to the hot to be sport dam. rosalie smith of the center for biological control sees to it herself that the insects reached their destination. the denser the water hyacinth scroll, the better it is for their little enemy they can multiply here quickly. o approach with releasing the plant up is is using them as a green herbicide sir as many as releases as. * possible early in the summer that allows their populations to build up quickie and that also just allows them to damage the. * ponds as soon as possible, so that the plans die and expand their growth over the damn water high is since form dense mats that drift across the lake. when they collide,

their underwater routes become entangled and block out any light. gradually, a huge dense carpet of plans forms. they can completely over gro bay areas, which is not only an ecological problem, but in economic one too many people at the damn live from tourism. each year columns of workers remove the plants from the water with long rakes. it's a slow and laborious process that only works on smaller waters in huge areas like this though, the tiny helpers have to step in. the traces of their work can be seen on the water hyacinths leaves. holes and brown areas testify to the success of the organic pest control. the nibbled on and dead plans dropped to the ground and slowly decompose under water. you can also see them from space. within 2 years, the growth on the dam has decreased from 40 to just 5 percent. this is

a site where we did frequence inundate of releases of the plans hopper am. and we know they're here in high numbers because they jump around as i pick up of plans. and what they damage look like is they caused the leaves to become brown. the leaves also, i'm recall on themselves. and so the plans in the sites is heavily damaged and that's basically what we would like for the rest of how to put them in the evening light. the success of the operation can be seen particularly well. swarms of plant hoppers fly over the water hyacinths. nevertheless, the plant will probably never really disappear. it spreads too quickly. even so large open water areas have re emerged on the heart of baseboard dams since their introduction. this promising result could lead to the plant hopper is being used on

other infested waters. from tiny creatures, curbing plants, the spread like wildfire to one of africa's big 5. the rhino whose numbers are perilously low. despite these namibia and south africa of mid legal to hunt rhinos in some areas. in other african countries, they are often hunted illegally, especially when people can't earn money by selling the haunts. but the result, let us go to k a now where a private initiative is trying to protect the animals and involve the local community in their efforts. getting too close to a rhino can prove deadly. but for ranger salome, lemme last year. it's no problem. she raised though you pull from infancy feeding him with milk buffalo after his mother deserted him. that was 6 years ago. and i'm going my relationship is like not as

a mother and her son and little so i treat him like my son and i taken care of him . i've raised him. he went in and i'm the one who understands all his problems. come last as confess, when he gets sick, i'm the 1st to know before any one else, no to says mark, even the grass that we fat him. sometimes he reject the set and i have to look for something else to feed him nisha. i take care of everything that concerns him and i will i will take who the sarah wildlife conservancy lies around 350 kilometers north of the canyon capital. my robi, the centerpiece is the sarah right? no sanctuary. a protected area covering other than 7 square kilometers for the critically endangered black rhino. he used to be more than 800000 worldwide. now they're just 5500. the sanctuary is home to 20 of them including low jeep

who is now been released into the wild. the area was once a hot spot for poachers. while there are now far fewer problems because ranges likes, hello me, lemme lithia patrol day and night. some ranges i haven't equipped with automatic rifles to day things are quiet. the radius focus instead of finding out where the ronald like to gather, monitor how healthy they are us we'll get when you wake up in the morning, you have to look for them and account for their whereabouts course, making sure that they're all present and ok as or the ring, his presence has paid off since the system was set up in 2015 the sanctuary. he hasn't lost a single rhino to poachers and animals. a thriving of them are not on the 2nd missa . we expect them to increase a number so that we can even provide other consultancies with rhinitis because we have so many offering the health is good and they will continue to grow even bigger

within the local communities. also benefiting from the sanctuary. the thorough wildlife conservancy was founded in 2001 to resolve conflict between the ethnic groups by involving them in a joint project. and i was like, i know it's a wonderful conspiracy in the sarah wildlife conservancy was started. yeah, because this area was not just being used by local communities, but also herdsmen from other communities who would graze their animals here. and i look at that man. it was an area of contention where there were disputes. so we mainly began the conservancy to foster security among the communities by sharing that sport and so our from apple can allow the land for the sanctuary was made available by 2 local ranches to day. the ranges are meeting with a group from one of the farms to update them on the latest developments. the farmer's also involved in making decisions for the sanctuary. 60 percent of the

revenue brought tourism, for example, goes to the community pulling together hello, dental school. hi de la. the consultancies are important because they've taught the community how important it is to protect wildlife lou. the whole they were not aware or so my new line, but now they can see the importance and value of conservation. well, sylvia, i'm regular within getting near the, in the all the children from the community are benefiting as these wild animals are generating income and putting food on the table. right, right. you are you universally, either on your employment is also improved and you have a mother in how the one with because a majority of the locals are able to earn away joe and i yeah, the 11. and then we wanted to get animals that were not common in the nearby conservancy. the guy unit families were nidia nidia. i'm one. i go i. so that's why we decided to start the rhino sanctuary. i long willing,

as well running. the rhino sanctuary has been a lonely experience for the ranges. the jeep lose a prime example. his mother deserted him because the rangers handled him shortly after he was born. so he lay eliza to mirror. what we learned was, once a calf is born, we should just monitor it from afar. is allah? oh, she'd not get close to call bali. i'm by address. got it beer. i would wait and to were able to learn more about in the cow sags and other details in detail. second, come on, you kick out. so that's what we learned to you to just monitor from a distance and keep making sure that the cap and the mother are both. well quirky, total, of course, i'll bring them back. the chip was now finding it difficult to adjust to life in the wild. he'll have to cope with me lonely for a while. yet i knew better than now and then when he gets close to the other rhinos at night, he's often chased away because he has

a human cent on as well. so american out when he has chased away, he has nowhere else to rum. t said he comes to my house and then it's difficult not to touch him. i was wondering if i can book a cleaning for salome la melissa. he has noticed that the jeep who is now coming to her less she is confident that it won't be long until he's able to manage on his own, in the wild. we certainly hope everything works out well for them. we've come to the end of this week's program. thanks for watching. and we look forward to seeing you again pretty soon. for now. it's a long from b, chris lamps in our bill, quarter nigeria. and it is over time for me to sign up from compiler. here in uganda, but don't forget to share with us your thoughts and ideas with also all also shoot media platforms. we always enjoy hearing from you. i am some routine overview. bye

bye and take care. ah, a, a blue. ah.

how can this passionate hatred of a people be explained? a gold. com? where does it come from? come also that the history of antisemitism is a history of stigmatization and exclusion of religious and political power struggles. interest in christianity wants to convince that is why christianity you like the figure of the jew as any parent, some hope to fly. it's a history of slender, of hatred and violence is the bodies from from then on, the jews were considered servants of evil. they simply told you about the most atrocious chapter under, within 6 years, a 3rd of our people were exterminating $6000000.00 jews, like microbes to be annihilated, cope even 77 years after the holocaust hatred towards jews is still pervasive. a history of anti semitism this week on
