i'm in your northern most count please. ah, for a time in the line until very much alive, d. w, travel, you'll go to the central hospital in germany, europe, and you recognize where exactly. it was fun and i learned a lot. our culture history. all their d. w. travel extremely worth a visit. ah . this week on world stories, germany a year after the flood. uganda filling air pollution. but

we begin in latvia where a drone manufacturer is seeing a spike in demand because of the ukraine war. many of the companies employees are from ukraine. a few weeks ago these ukranian refugees did not know which way to turn a screwdriver. now they're building drones for the ukrainian army. atlas aerospace, the latvian company, they now work for saw an explosion in demand for military grade reconnaissance drones. with the onset of the war in ukraine previously was like, i was happy to sell 10, john spell mass. and now you, if you're talking about external 100 fair pay per month and of stuff to feed him if it's not enough and we need to sell to think how we're going to sell more. atlas builds drones that are small enough to be carried by one soldier. they are highly sought after by ukrainian special forces. units equipped with these drones can

cover large areas for reconnaissance and stream their video feeds back to base in real time. in for red thermal imaging cameras turn night into day, atlas says tools like this help save soldiers lives, and the ukrainians are buying so far more than 100. drones have already been delivered. the batter club has become a bit more transparent. maybe you have soldiers that are just more independent can act independently because they already have all the data and what's happening over the next hill behind that wall justice on ukraine's battlefields. consumer drones from china have had a starring role and propaganda video circulating on social media that the soldiers have been modifying these drones to drop bombs. i heard often to devastating effect. yeah. but for yellow you won't be stuck in there. but experts say using

chinese may drones, is potentially dangerous. this video allegedly shows an artillery strike, honing in on a ukrainian drone operator. ah, it's been claim that d j i, the chinese firm producing these drones is passing on gio tracking information to the russian military. something the company denies. back in latvia, atlas aerospace is hiring more ukrainians to increase production. they are keen to help lever, but the lame when making trends for the ukranian army. with the help of de strains, we shall win the war. that war is a money maker for some all of these green bags will be going to ukraine and they won't be the last. on average, these drones only last for 48 hours in combat. and so the flow of equipment will continue a year after the flood

catastrophe in the art valley. much of the major damage has been repaired but for the people affected by the deluge. the emotional scars will take longer to heal one year after scenes of abandonment. this used to be a tranquil village street with half timbered houses and gardens on the banks of the ar, the apparently harmless stream that became a raging torrent, taking cars, houses everything with it, and leaving lasting marks on the people. here. i'm outside, announced wildlife, are you afraid of water even of taking a shower on her j o you hear the sound of the water coming out of the shower head and it remind you of that rushing sand and the wetness. laska full jojo,

hanrick's childhood home, survived the flood, but an outside wall almost collapsed. after 8 months of work, the family was able to move back in. at least 134 people died when the r flooded. hundreds are still missing, including in you the as neighbourhood reddish alton, if i guess i'll never forget it. oh, good paul. this massive water just popped the door open and my kid yell, dietary my, my mom help mom help life. and then suddenly it was quiet. and i didn't see some people for 3 days and then i saw them and i knew okay, that's safe. nothing happened to them. isn't invisia, i didn't, it's next pa, theat. these are images from the days after the flood. mud and debris piled up meters high. back then we visited mohammed abdul hamid who was trying to salvage

what he could from his rented barber shop shopping. i've been here 6 years. i've lost everything in shambles for laura, for months he gave haircuts outside. now finally, his salon is open again, but hardly any work has been done on many houses. some are in danger of collapsing . sometimes it's unclear who's responsible for paying to fix them up. not many people had insurance. state aid payments have not arrived yet. or there not enough. mohammed's hair salon is an exception. think that i'll who does the syllable, i'm really happy that the shops up and running again, that every day life is back that i get to see my customers. we don't mind acquaintances in. yeah, my heart is dancing. mine has fallen in his. i'm tonton. once again, the are is

a harmless looking stream. but for many here, the havoc caused a year ago is far from over. ah, air pollution is the 2nd biggest killer in africa after 8th. a young climate activist is taking matters into her own hands and forcing the authorities to do more to improve air quality. you can them claim it activity he would. and natalia is concerned about the air quality in her city. they smoke from banning waste traffic. fumes and industrial emissions have made compello, one of africa's most polluted cities. let air here feel very unclean. very poorly said it filled shocking the ways of

like there should be more trees on the road side, legacy in other cities abroad that help in cleaning up the air. i feel that there's an issue with our west damping sorting and collection, and that needs to be checked. but the authorities see that they don't have the money to clean up the cities here. one of the biggest problems companies lacking is funding coming to you got us. what does roland are very, very thankful, but the big ones we have require big funding. and that's why i call upon i development partners. docile communion support. you going to has stick in some states to help reduce air pollution. it has been to the input of older, less environmentally friendly cars and authorities plan to expand public transport to help de congest the city. but the problem of emissions remains until this key
