just doesn't really be much. oh, we got abundantly god. oh, well, don't worry. it will start up again soon. unders legal football action goals. all in all kick off. stuart august 9th, here on the w. finally. ah ah, welcome to global 3000 new life in the step villages in tanzania, a replanting forests, and encouraging the reins to return precious and scarce in many regions of the

world, fresh water is in short supply. what's the solution? in lebanon to water supplies a dwindling but women stepping in and planting the outs. an unforgettable image, a column of smoke rises over the harbour of lebanon's capital bay roots. $2750.00 tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer exploded. here on the 4th of august 2020, devastating swathes of the city. 200 people died and there was an estimated 13000000000 euros in damages, too much for crisis rock to lebanon. yet once upon a time, the country was booming, they route was a cosmopolitan and sophisticated city. but then in 1975 civil war broke out. political and religious groups battled for c premise,

tearing the country apart. the war only ended in 1990. to day, much of the population lives in poverty, the infrastructure has largely collapsed, including waste collection. the local currency has lost 90 percent of its value. many struggle to afford the very basics, food and heating and gas. and it's really tough for the many refugees here too. but there are some projects offering hope that looks like a game, and it really is child's place. since every throw is the goal. the small brown balls that these women are throwing into the bay car valley are so called seed bombs. the bulls contain clam thieves. an outer layer of clay protects them from birds and rodents. when it rains, the bulls soak up water and then the plants grow all by themselves. the fertile

plateau of the because valley used to be famous for its largest cedar forest. a cedar tree even ended up on the country's flag. however, growing settlements and uncontrolled deforestation have meant that there is hardly anything left of the original forests explains a coordinator from the aid organizations or lum. l. a. d. c. and i've had a collateral fellow. we never used to think about the importance of trees about hampton. we might sit under a tree in the shade, but we never asked ourselves, why did it come from an aside? we planted it, i had a hand on the other day, and it was only 3 this project and we realized how much effort it is to re green our country hall. i ran lower it off that stood a bit re, forester lebanon is just one goal of salam. the work here is also supposed to bring people together who otherwise have little to do with each other. says, but to e bra, him who fled from her syrian homeland to neighboring lebanon 10 years ago. about

the bins and the women her all work wonderfully together. and yet whether they come from syria, palestine, or lebanon, about horn, we originally met through the project that way. but now we're all like sisters in the home button instead alone, we laugh together. we tell jokes it makes the work easier than and then the said, some of the women live in informal settlements. others have a solid roof over their heads, like between ibrahim, from syria. nevertheless, she says, live in lebanon is not easy for her. her husband is unemployed and her daughter regularly needs expensive medication. without the 8th us dollars she receives for each day's work, the family would have no income. his in nor has sydel and my little project is more than just a job but brings and money her mother had i had father, i wouldn't know that it lets me do something good for nature and the environment he'd be or i'm fear that bobby and the i now live in lebanon. it's become my new

home that the that and none of none who will what any and i want to surplus home harry about, and i the feel for that the north any or even if it's only a small contribution afield, believe ah, lebanon was once called the switzerland of the middle east because of its wealth. in the mean time, however, almost 80 percent of its nearly 7000000 inhabitants live in poverty. oh, the situation is particularly dire for the more than one point. 5000000 refugees, most of whom come from syria. their high number has led to mounting social tensions in the country. ah, susan m ki has experienced it herself. she, it's her family of 5 with the money from the reforestation project. she's lebanese, but her husband is palestinian. their children are therefore considered foreigners via anthony annabel, admin and on. there's so much discrimination in our country who they're so high and

even my children phillips and laughable because of that palestinian father. they're not allowed to go to the local school issue meeting. i look and i wish my children could grow up like any normal lebanese child on, and instead they're excluded from many things. and my husband isn't allowed to take certain jobs in it, just because he's palestinian or nationality does not play any role in the trees for lebanon initiative. the only condition for participants is that they do not have another means of income because the project especially wants to help those most in need. to day the women are making seed bombs for wild time and sisters. in addition to reforestation, the product also wants to plant crops that can later be harvested. after sifting the soil, the women add the clay that will later form the hard outer layer of the seed bowls . when both are mixed,

the seeds go in. everything is then mixed with water and needed. it's a sociable process. the group then sits together and shapes the individual seat balls . ah. when the balls are finished, they need to dry in the sun for at least a day. and then they're ready and new life can be created from them in. and i'm bizarre. so i referenced in lebanon. it's amazing objectively. my children will thank me though benefit from it also to hillary and and even when none of us are here anymore, i've done something good for the future of our world here. and then she'll of, via for to day the women had finished their work.

the project's aim is to release a total of $600000.00 seat bombs. by the time the reforestation project ends in august next year, it would go a long way towards bringing back the country's famous trees. drinking washing, cooking industrial production farming without water. we humans are lost yet, according to the un, as many as 2300000000 people live in areas docked by water shortages. that's around 30 percent of the global population. by mid century, our planet could well have a population of 10000000000, with an accompanying rise in the demand for water. but water supplies are already dwindling. many natural reservoirs are already over used or have been contaminated with sewage. where on the brink of a global water crisis, could our oceans offer

a solution? kate down was the 1st major city to risk running out of water. but it's not going to be the last jakarta, london, they, ging, tokyo, could all face their own day 0 in the coming decades. most of the water, at least food for monkeys are experiencing some will to stress off or disgusting. the gap between in mind and supply your water is narrowing down. but how can that be? our blue planet is a wash with water. more than 1000000000 trillion leaders to be precise. the problem is that 97 percent of the earth's water is salty and most of the fresh water is frozen in ice caps. they, less than one percent of the earth's water is drinkable. that makes one solution, especially promising salvation you sell a nation. these hallucination,

the felon nation, seems like a pretty straightforward solution. you take that undrinkable, salt water, remove the salt, and end up with an unlimited supply of fresh water. so why are we not building more desalination plants? he? thermal desalination uses heat falls, boiling point is a lot higher than waters. so if you boil salt water, only fresh water will evaporate, leaving all the salt behind membrane desalination uses pressure. salt water here, colored in red for clarity, is pressed through a membrane that is only partially permeable. fresh water can pass through here, colored in blue, but the salt is trapped on the other side. the technology didn't improve much until

the 19th century when industrialization and population growth encouraged more research. population growth is the main driver far increase in water sketch. and soon another factor could make desalination even more crucial global warming. as the climate warms, more water will evaporate, and as aristotle noticed more vapor equals, more clouds equals more rain. but that rain won't call evenly. this map shows how precipitation will change as the climate heat up. regions in purple will get more rain, those in orange less now compare it with this other map. these red dots indicate areas that are already experiencing water scarcity today. dry areas like california and the middle east will have even less rainfall. other

countries, like india, will have more rain in the monsoon season, but less in the dry season when people need it most. this will make desalination even more popular. with boiling billions of leaders of water takes a lot of energy release. dear variability of, of oil and especially fossil fuels makes the thermal process is cheaper. but for other types it could be, i think, 25 or 30 times more expensive. but that energy doesn't have to come from fossil fuels. ah, a start up in berlin has a sustainable alternative. the water comes from the ball to the system. and after that is gone through the booster bomb with fortune by the water is prey who the membrane is. he is in is water

with green energy. that's the key to the company's success. this is one of their plants can kenya the solar panels, keep the cost of water low in villages like this, where electricity is not available. i get the water for free. we get the electricity from the solar and wind for free, so we can now produce 1000 liter for $0.50. this flies is actually comparative to clean water from the river or from the ball. but there's another problem. what do you do with this water? that's left behind. so we thought of this, so look out of the water to produce fresh water. but now the salt is still contained within no substance. but it's just

a smaller volume. so it's most ot ah, this water is called brine at the be over let what we produce more brine than we produce nice adding it to what you feel your bike with this coming out of the discipline. you're discharging on the sideline wooten in and as it flows out it will sink because it's more dense. 70 and the temperature can also deplete the oxygen available. and this is what's causing actually the organisms more damage, just a lack of oxygen that basically suffocated with bryan can also contain chemicals harmful to see life. but what if this waste could become a resource? tomatoes, seaweed, and certain fish can tolerate high salinity. morial light uses brian to cultivate them in tubs like this. at the moment for the technologies, ottaway la,

both of far o'brien management, but those are on a very small scale. the challenge is that all we can transform those that small scale technologies into a large scale operation. desalination is not a magic formula. the process must become more efficient before low income countries can afford it. desalination plants must convert from fossil fuels to renewable energy, to limit emissions. and the whole industry needs to come up with a plan to deal with this bry too. but facilities like this are already a lifeline for many communities. movie. today, cape town is doing a lot better, and the dam is full in. the city was rushing to build desalination plants to avoid daisy row. but the solution wasn't desalination or any other technology. people

became water wise, they radically changed their water use and they valued water for the essential and irreplaceable substance that it is and will stay with the topic of water shortages and climate change is causing droughts in many countries like tanzania, but in the region of russia are reported to carry yuki witnessed something extraordinary . here in anger rocha, a village in northern tanzania. hardly anyone has a tv. that's why linda moore limbo brings his small mobile cinema with her mother. she was here a few months ago on behalf of the lead foundation, or comes in e in conservation organization. am. i was another group i did you, are you what? let me grab a spell. i want to show a film about see how here today about cassie hyman's living tree stump loyalty

mexic. we will start with announcement in the village and later in the evening we will show the found that while im nadia is not lost in america. but where is every one? it's still early afternoon and the villagers are in the fields. digging in the bone dry earth holes in the earth as far as the i can see, it seems like all 7000 residents are out and about what's going on. they're digging here because of another movie presented by linda ma limbo and the lead foundation. it was called just dig it. john mooney remembers it well as he digs a trench and fills it with grass sieve luther, columbia, missouri. the film taught me that you can do something about the dryness and drought of recent years, or cadell, or gala. we can till the land is in create water basins via medina,

which we fill with seeds to help the fields recover. but in the kind of, while melinda wasn't in recent years, fields here have continued to fall victim to desert vacation. the persistent drought is a consequence of climate change with a can anyone really fight back on that on that about when it's 5 pm. and linda ma limbo colleague that makes an announcement that the film screening is taking place that evening. no, no, no, no, we don't want walk another one. yeah. it's a welcome change for the villagers. they only get to see a film every few months. the children are excited to see what's coming. one, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. yes. now the final touches, linden limbo has been doing this for 3 years. 3

years in emma enough on the dome explains how to protect your land from drought. aca people have cut down their trees. many times in recent years, land became barren and the harvest hills got worse. so now we want to show people how to reclaim that moisture so that their yields increasing and they have enough pasture to feed their families even while i shall. hm. it's fine. the show time. it starts with j monte, a very popular comedian in tanzania. why he's riding a bicycle through the fields is a mystery. what's more important is what he hears up

. why? well, why we're talking about any new moment. i'm not kidding. you knew when it got me to niggle go to talk on gama. i see from bonnie up ne, in italy mans and humans. i read not own gun him took a lot. i'm not that i'm either which any. i'm back in one. yes. i every one in anger. we'll go once rain and the film as well. received people here become familiar with drought over the past few years. what it means to be thirsty all day long. the film showed the villagers that small shrubs or tree stumps can grow into large trees. if given a chance,

the 1st viable plants are selected. next their prune so that only the strongest shoots remain. then the trees must be marked for every one to see. and importantly, the plants must be protected from hungry cattle. according to the campaign, this method has managed to save over 9000000 trees in tanzania, a re greening measure of this magnitude has an impact on the local weather and can also bring rain this means the country will cool down and crop yields will improve at least in theory, in anger rica, it's still a dream though the last few months have seen 30 percent less precipitation than in previous years. which is one reason why they're digging the rain basins according

to the campaign that we're now over 200000 such basins in tanzania and kenya. and all this just because people saw a movie. in reality, people here earned one year of 50 probation, diligent workers like dina, hosea can manage 5 a day. me cousin in i'm for was yes, if we make money digging now to the finance where data my then you grew up later when the grass has grown, folk. 70 will benefit both our cattle and us because we save ourselves the trouble of carrying food to the cattle. there were my then home with us. i was able to let ruin my then we'll go with if we employ these practices, they won't help us take care of our livestock. funny enough to say, dear berlin and fool rainwater normally evaporates on the dry soil, but now it can collect the basins. miss gibbs, the water, more time to seep into the soil. and this allows vegetation to grow,

not only inside the basins, but also all around them. this re greening program is in full swing and gaining in popularity. strategies like this one have an impact on the global climate and could even help to slow down global warming. and the people of anger walker are doing their part. how did people around the world live for this week's global living room suite go to armenia? ah but it's hello. come on im. ethic. assume the us these are my son's was the last the mom and my mother had taken us to the pardon. my name is annie man. okay, i'm any rocky armenian, was that the vi in 2004,

we fled from iraq to armenia because of the war i asked them, ah, at us you found this dull, was the 1st thing i grabbed? whatever the my father said, it was too big to take with us, but i said i wouldn't go without it. and mink. i asked i don't the door when i was to we got on a trip in armenia to stay with that. i am 46 now, said the dolls fuzzy fold that acre then i ah ha me, i'll just get these caps out and make some te, tell you from a new home. i'm gonna make that. why was that? we always during t from these accounts, i isde counties, they typical tea cups in iraq ever after then we use them with sources like these che, by juggling the domain to re, uh once the hood is boiling, we put in the t let, it was m a turn off the heat, let it sit for a couple of minutes and then pour it into the cups. will ganja think me
