completely dead. they won't produce anything. there will be no crop here. so on epa . 15 tons of harvest last and this plot along the farmer simply couldn't provide enough water. stefano grippy is the head of the called it at the po via association, which represents farmers in the region. italy so called golden rice triangle makes up half of europe entire rice production. the industry, which is highly dependent on water, is now facing a financial and environmental catastrophe. and she might to our knowledge, nothing like this has ever happened in the last 70 years that all made according to the data available. a drought like this has never occurred that never. my northern italy depends on the poll river. it's 650 kilometers, spanned the country from west to east. it is a source of life for all around it, but water levels have been dropping continuously over the last few years. areas are

now competing for the remaining water. a state of emergency has been declared in many reaches, but a mortal is reducing leaks is another big topic initially. and that the both for drinking water and agricultural purposes, any durable darby this yet that the system efficiency is currently around 50 percent jealousy, tainted ev, at equal a medium. ether or nancy. quite a pertain to farmers like stiff on or could it be also know they will have to change this season. they have already lost 30 percent of their harvest that out again with what i mean to say we hope we get back to a climate which allows for rise production every otherwise we'll have to switch to other crops and adapt to a different type of water management charity yesterday, there's just not enough water for every ones with which end to perform. for now all they can do is keep the pumps running and hope for falling temperatures. and above all for rain. ah.

a church that rejects homosexuality. even though he knew he was gay. then his grandfather died and stuff on felt it was time to make a crucial decision. mister store holds their audience please does law. do you want to be a priest who hides part of his identity? ted or is this part allowed to exist? i india, that it really is part of you. does i something that can be talked about? i thought that something you can live with into stuff with without a guilty conscience and without fear or no wonderfully escape isn't ladonna alex to hobb stuff on, decided to take a stand against fear coming out meant he had to give up his life in the religious order the next, the girl, the girl at the stuff on has since set up regular prayer meetings for persecuted gay people i, they can you put us the co please allow christian churches to accept the same sex
