catherine delicate pop up because population is growing fast. and young people clearly have the solution. that future belongs to you. is 77 percent every weekend on d w. oh, will you become a criminal m franklin? i already know who's with our hackers and paralyzing the tire societies, computers, that house where you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can go, what was in for, but how they can also go terribly. watch it now on youtube.

ah, nature depends on water. without it, nature can no longer exist. the field talk know how much drought can are ecosystem waters with database. if the climate change is over a relatively short time, corpse inside ointment. 14 it isn't your i'm please when it comes to climate change . we are only now just beginning to feel the effects you're ecosystems are already collapsing globally dark. now we also have to worry about the worst of all possible endings, like dickie ended up until about 80 percent of the trace died and nothing can be done

here. we have a 300 percent over use of water. i'm literally sitting on what was a boat ramp. routing such an impact that we could kill the colorado river side. i'll find it difficult. i can. no one can be without drinking water from it. what's it we'll certainly head it for a grave, ontological catastrophe. wished in women's will be, you can say that a violent confrontation with nature awaits us with an o 2 m. we are used to an abundance of water. but that perception is changing quickly. thanks to climate change, ah, less water is leading to frequent water shortages. this series raises the

question, what happens when the wells run dry? the town of mountains provide most of the drinking water in germany's vine mine region. asked clarissa, as the former had of these buttons, water authority, and ecologist, andrea sandman has studied the impact of extracting water from the town as mountains on the local nature, all over germany. the consequences of the drought are visible. as you can see, i'm walking troy footed through or used to be a street or carried water. all the route that had estate had cyclists, unusual. standing on this with the ledge and euclidean love gravel under his feet. elizabeth fossil mm doesn't at all. it's sad to see the

stream like this. it just, it just confirms we have known for a long time because i did the water extraction, interferes with the ecology with groundwater levels and also drains the landscape public. so why are rivers and streams drying up? we look for clues in a particularly hard head region. water rich bavaria bought ziemen pies from the northern burg water management office searches for a pond that is a tributary to the peg nates river. as it was, was a good so forced ends walk. you have to imagine that only a few years ago this was all underwater watha. our dissect, there's nothing here. where did the water come from? and where did it go? the 2 experts are looking for the remnants of a spring. if i few of you can see that the water level used to reach

above this plot, i lost on can. all right, incredibly, this is the also that not to of need are flock relative nature reacts relatively quickly to rainfall the moon cost. just like when you're water, your flowers and, and yeah, it will be sent to avi about what we're talking about here. that's how it looks all underneath the surface via even through our official monitoring system. so that we can see that in recent years and let the levels have not recovered during the winter, like they used to. but in v in tie in that and that's a big concern. nick always has already the arm through a series of us that i'll skill often have. this is what used to flow from here and fill this pond different. now the water table that's in the mountain behind us is even below. they said you see where the water used to gush out. and what is wasa? food asked, fitness,

dipped ice woods. this area where the water used to flow through is completely dry . as you can see, i cannot, i have some images from earlier this year where you can still think them water here . now it's basically just a dried out cave. no, and i was talking to hulu, as is not needed. so on. the situation has never been as critical as in the last year seal and because of the consecutive dry, somers and springs with her. at the alley top. where does our ground water come from? at the potsdam institute for climate impact research said hunterman analyzes the german weather service, his records of precipitation. and if operation, how is the available water? the water supply changing is a quality door. this corridor between precipitation and of operations, and here is what lay to becomes ground water and flows into the rivers. does thus versa, not the water we can manage it, but as these are corridor,

but we are seeing this corridor getting marrow. i've submitted in here for the annual average of rain, full name, remain unchanged, yet we have less water if it's sort of in top that thus because our winters are getting sure. this is nevertheless, warmer weather means more evaporation is one causing vegetation to grow. for longer periods of english i'll fall and winter is when the water tables in reservoirs replenished the from the phase where we don't have green vegetation on these of phosphate. however, that phase is getting shorter of excess, meaning that the same amount of rain eventually leads to less water for humans. a night junction. when do when dinner tour? ah, over the past 50 years global animal populations have declined by an average of 68 percent. and even though humans only make up 0.01 percent of earth's bio mass, we are responsible for almost all the negative impacts on everything else.

the 2nd beg institute in frankfort on mine has been researching biodiversity since 1817. what is the correlation between biodiversity and dryer climate? the sphere. thank on finance with joe biden studio. what we've been able to show in our global study for say, is that streams and rivers drying up at the surface have become the rule, not the exception. safety policy, 60 percent of all streams and rivers naturally go dry. have i say. but when a stream that permanently carries water begins to dry up them and there are obviously massive consequences again, oh, super both for the environment and for the availability of the quality of the water for us humans, i'm not as i certainly healthy for food, but i can 50 quantity, dispatch suspense mention the consequences are becoming apparent in germany's, i'm mine region, a large part of the drinking water for the 5800000 people living here comes from

the town as mountains. for more than a century, millions of cubic meters of water have been pumped out of the ground every year. how does this plant operated by hassan vasa? one of the largest water suppliers in the region affect nature and st. claire is the former head of the water authority in v's been one of the largest population centers in the region. for years, claudia has documented the consequences of extracting drinking water on nature. hinder, mia is i'm good. lisa, under such sparks or the hind me is an arm of the shots by river, but has gone dry to the scanner yard. it's dry throughout the year due to the water extraction that is located here above us, extra large months. perched on over the not door, think the consequences for nature serious the it is cotton progressively worse because of the trout in the last few years, right? or not. so can nominate, isn't that so not north air for shaft. one of has in vos as customers,

is the city of older ursula, near frankfort. over ursula public utilities supplies residents with drinking water, managing director, eula and tony and technical manager detect reddish, explain where the water comes from. it's given us cookie them or totals come or the force of in about it to the extraction area in the town, as mountains, as a bus stop i last year and we were extracting was a furnace passed up town was that the town us also has an outflow, that's the elizabeth river adopters and the flow of the original box has to be at a certain level. i mean for us to be able to use our water rights in the town. us important, escobar, ultimate, and of the woodville bath river, flows through the entire region and drinking water can't be taken out unless the awesome buff is carrying water. andrea andermann from the thinkin berg institute has been observing the river for years. i've recently understand from was about in

somewhat of his talk and fred mcquarry standing at the point at the it was about if it actually dr. jerry miss, i'm a member of austin's almost easier to imagine if you look at some pictures and that is in from, by a spirit is that is, for example, is the few downstream him. and you can see that this channel, this gravel bed, is completely dry and once doth maps because drinking water is being extracted from the upper reaches of the awesome battery bucket, rougher and water that is extracted, that is what is missing. lot number the theater. it is a stella, water for citizens or water for the river. it's a tough choice. and what are the consequences for the entire hind mine region, which gets much of its drinking water from the town us. competition for water as a resource has already become a fact. and here in the heart of germany, the demand for human drinking water is competing directly with nature's needs. not

only as plant life affected aquatic life is hurting to thus hot. i'll always, melissa has an impact on that bio diversity. we are lacking. certain species normally found here, because they can't kids with of logistically enough water m i p here and for citizens within men are streams and rivers are among the most bio diverse habitats in the world. it couldn't easily comparable to coral reason or tropical rain, florida certified only this diversity is under water. them not immediately visible on the last thunder man is doing field work by the elizabeth river. she's collecting samples at several locations to document the current bio diversity. and for closer examination and the laboratory in touch on st. louis seem bullets in a leper hewn fris in in german equal august only 7 percent of all streams and rivers . what's are considered to be in good ecological condition,

a coalition to which means that 93 percent of water body assia are in poor condition, common greatly in the hub. and this will be despite the european washer framework director, mr. sway thousands, the directors goal is to achieve good ecological status for all water bodies. by 2027, a seam quoting, and we're now at just a 70 percent on moody. that means that it's impossible to achieve this target often in shavings. the question must be, why do we formulate target a c lift that we know from the outset or out of reach and this with our current effort a see a me to use an unsettling on them. he be at their take on the name and he said see, late kindness, fuss at i have what will thunder man find in today's samples? so to meals, i shouldn't be more met, limiting, not necessarily more individuals, much more spc feeler. and for all, there are several types of nationalized countess lies and beatles missing. egan is still in that sense. we really have a rigidity,

synopsis diversity here. hot and few normally, there are many, many more spills on, on my body of water like this on them to vesa. what are the consequences of such reduced species? diversity for nature, the hook go that bulow, he should feel a fight, the decline of biodiversity. one is the biggest challenge we face as humanity. on the one hand insights, one, something is lost and one, it's lost forever one. and on the other hand it's, we don't know what a 1020 and, or the 50 percent decline in this diversity. this of will mean for nature and ultimately had to work for other ceo in the long run, long for stick to do it. but human impact on our waters is not limited to just extracting drinking water. ya does also have in the stair also what we're seeing here is that ronald from the over missile wastewater treatment plants up vasa, it's actually purified, waste water, he's off, they are not in downstream,

this long we have a relatively high end take, if purified, waste water in the refund when you so we have a very li jesus, no species composition, not only a few stops you can comb humid deason with these other towards the ones like com. purified water sounds harmless, but it contains toxic residues from micro plastics to pharmaceuticals and pesticides discharged into our streams and rivers. scientists and hun over the cap of lower saxony are currently investigating the impact on groundwater. this is warehouse hillis team comes in. hanover's environmental agency has been taking a hard look at ground water over a long period of time. when that link for thought gets yahoo is her drinking water is mainly fed by groundwater. i've tied any adverse effect on the ground. water will eventually also affect our drinking water and buffalo new loc. the researchers

1st collect a water sample. they use fishing line to lower the receptacle, 20 meters into the monitoring point, and then fill it up with ground water stored in the 4th or 5th machine from the water will be chemically analyzed and his capture did listen to you the little bit. we lower it down to the bottom of this ground. water shall fog so low. it's almost all know that we've collected the water. we can begin the chemical examination. the ground water will 1st be screened for residues in the laboratory. and then experts will look for living organisms. even shaft vickers, we have recently been using more scientific methods one a few more, which allows us to look for different kinds of micro organisms him. if they were to

find species that would normally only be found on the surface, it would be evidence of surface water mixing with ground water with the underwater camera sinks deeper and deeper into the ground water monitoring point, looking for micro organisms. but a more detailed examination is necessary for the water samples from hanover, have been sent to the university of copeland's landau for analysis water ecologist, hands yoga, and han and his team will take a microscopic look at the samples. ah, this one is quite interesting. were the scientists suspicion is confirmed when a small, almost transparent creature appears under the lens is, will accept as any man concerning vice doth. the sea trips are always an indication of surface water infiltration. as in this sample also contains fresh water copper pods, which a typical organisms found on the surface. leslie hill,

if you find those in sandals from ground water or drinking water reservoirs think, but you know that something is coming in from above. past nickel levied a most of mine. but are these findings really cause for concern yet? and if soap, why? a lot of that is seeping out as neither drinking water nor fresh water from the springs us on to a great extent, its waste water treatment plants. it puts it in the rhine river, it is about 50 percent, 80 percent in the necker river and sometimes close to a 100 percent in smaller streams of buffer waste water flowing in streams and seeping into ground water. obviously poses a risk to quality testing. the chemical composition of the water samples from hanover led to some equally disturbing findings as an over seed bin, an infiltration bon wanted substances can also be found in the locations in hanover affected or influenced by surface water pharmaceuticals. for example,

to buy so far the concentration is very low, but detectable nevertheless on. although it's the dish, i wanna whisper big enough an hour that we're assuming this will get worse in the coming years and decades. fresh air. an american study from earlier this year when i showed that a considerable part of the waters, especially in the west, had been contaminated in filter. there are many pollutants ignorant, and the situation is most critical in areas where surface irrigation is used for agriculture. ducking a renown to hydrologist is blame the impact on america, the west coast. i'm j family. i'm the executive director of the global institute for water security at the university of saskatchewan. i'm a hydrologist. i haven't been down there in a while and to see how things have changed, how things have dried out since since i left california in 2018. really incredible from nowhere is the

impact of wastewater on nature, more evident than in the imperial irrigation district. one of the largest agricultural areas in north america. it's manmade and in the middle of a desert, you really need to get out at this agricultural regions to really understand their vast expense. that's true in the central valley. it's true in its true in the imperial irrigation district, you get out there and these feels just stretch and stretch and stretch for miles and miles. and that's when you realize just how much water is being spread over the surface to green up the desert. the imperial irrigation district spreads $3.00 trillion leaders of water per year in the region. meanwhile,

40000000 local people face water shortages and nature is drying up the runoff from all the agricultural field gets channelled into rivers and it delivered to the south and see which is internally draining. which means that's it. it's like the dead sea. the run off that goes into is full of fertilizer and pesticides, so the water itself is toxic. i don't actually know if it can be saved. i don't know what it would take to save it. the salton sea is the largest fresh water lake in california. it used to be a vacation resort to day. very little can live here anymore. yeah, i'm literally sitting on what was a boat where the lake is seeping away and evaporating the salton sea has been been a tragedy. as the waters have receded,

it's created dust that blows into as far as, as the city of los angeles, creating air quality issues to begin with. and then there is the increased solidity of the water. so you've got a number of, of tragic issues that have arisen where there were once parks and recreation facilities there noun, baron beach lands at best. i remember when i 1st came to the salt and see a few years ago, the water levels were literally thousands of feet closer than they are today. and it just is a startling thing to see me. humans have consumed the water for farming in the desert, while poisoning the water that nature needs to survive. in

the long run, the consequence of this dying nature will be a loss of human habitat. the time scale at which we're talking about here, these are the cato scale timescale, right? this didn't just happen in a few years. this is the combination of decades of disregard for the environment. so this is where we're going to end up and more and more places around the world and, and i think our decision makers need to see this and need to understand how we get to this point. our competition with nature for water is a battle for human existence. the fight has already been lost in parts of america's west coast. northern europe is doing comparably better. but here to the warning signs have been ignored. if the same mistakes are not prevented,

it will affect every one the feel talking i a for 3 on saw. much drought can, are ecosystem get past which is more used to moisture and water bodies tolerance effect. if the climate changes over a relatively short period of time, heat loss, plus he had to mid fall, not with fluid. what happens to the foreigner and flora, florida animal, and plant tide right in by trying to be box. does this do? we can already observe some implications in certain force in where there are widespread dial denali. and since you can hear scenarios or warning signs, showing that dramatic changes are happening to nature issue for in the for team. what are the consequences of drought in germany's forests? the bark beetle has killed trees affected by the dry conditions destroying large parts of the tree population. to make matters worse,

a new disease now threatens woodlands. while while with this one looks as if someone had torched it. yeah, yeah. klaus aren't said, accompanies nicole bergdorf from the bavarian state institute of forestry into a forest where the city bark disease is swiftly killing. native maples m. c. m. hackman is an extreme talking highest of the thing. the spirit of the disease increased alongside the extreme heat and drought and 2018 in 20. 19. the fungus enters the wood through broken branches or wounds with grows into the wood, and then spread through the tray, and especially in dry conditions, talking and bidding on them hides copper pipe. when the fungus reaches the bark that these 4 deposits are forms, which you can see here is fixed contest and flowers been on fundraising. for them. la gandhi, these contain a $170000000.00 scores per square centimeter,

and then released into the air and ended up could give an incredible. yeah, just incredible. well, i, this is how do i inbound the talking? it's yes, and it's not just affecting individual trees in this survey area, about 80 percent of the trace of develop the city bark disease and nearly all have died and nothing can be done. so the bark disease unstoppable devastating both for nature and humans. because once the fungal scores form on the bark, they can also in fact people's lungs and become life threatening. to show how the disease spreads, scientists cut down an infected tree where no sport have yet formed on tradition college. give him on his fine shot by devastating i've. this is a tragedy because the population is simply collapsing one. not in my wildest dreams could i have imagined that a fungus could have such

a massive impact and caused such white bread damage and fit to calmed the findings also come as a surprise to klaus onset and professor martine campbell. a long time member of germany's working group on water office, yet it was, this is maxime i but one lloyd and what is happening is incredibly disturbing. pfeifer. this is a typical tipping point that that is, once the forest is so damaged, that it die. the whole system changes that are obstruct done for indices discomfort as his team. the less water is extracted from the air and everything becomes much dryer. when the forest is gone. there comes, then you are on your way to desertification. often if we use the human analogy, you can get sick because, but if you recover, everything is fine, thoughts, but once you're dead at all, you're dead. and that is so to speak, the meaning of a tipping point from something has changed and that is irreversible. the screen

vinnish, it's like the technical university of munich uses high tech equipment to objectively track the facts and regions with progressive waters scarcity even below the earth's surface, like here in lower franconia. this is yanna funds by mr. hutton, over from the to mentioned, this is one of 2 observations, points where we measure soil moisture in different layers. as you can see, we have dug a hole that is almost 2 meters deep permit. we then regularly install sensors, and this helps us to get a more complete picture on of the soil moisture in pl. fear for their boarding foisted through us during the winter months. the soil should be very moist. but the team of scientists are shocked when taking a closer look at the upper layers. this is foot. talk your own globe boned right there while really unbelievable if you like the forest, the soil as may be rude at 50 centimeters below the surface. further down, there's

a transition of the mineralized particles, but that seems quite drying. mean of alysia tiles they're about to ms. top. there are still some roots down there too. but there's not much evidence of any water or moisture. we'll see that again. it's not an isolated case. the lack of water is already a fact in germany's forests. this is for orleans, it's important for us in the environment ministry to look at how the precipitation is spread throughout the different areas and environments where that is, how much arrives. and where was convo on the rising temperatures mean trees and plants need more and more water. but their roots are also reaching deeper into the ground in search of the diminishing water supply. and that has a direct impact on our human habitats. the falling water

levels can also cause massive damage to buildings in and around hanover. the effects are becoming apparent, like in this old, upscale neighborhood. mm. other yes, eat lunch when you can already see the 1st signs of subsidence up as this terrace is only 3 or 4 years old gets on. but we're already seeing cracks under the shaft remains in place because it's foundations of very deep gentleman shows the damage in the walls of his parents house to building surveyor. yann's woman is torn bored and one for when the soil below is clean. and presumably this combination of a change in water panels and growing vegetation, we not feel shrinking the soil and creating damages because of subsidence went on this whole system. even though the house has been standing here, 40 years or more in suddenly a hall is sinking into the ground,

yar complete the whole front, the whole is active with the cracks are a threat to the overall structural integrity of the building. the damage is even more apparent in the basement. when is the toyota nipped in sante fe? it's an ellipse, neon hutton thirty's as fus, hiring dry spells like the recent summers on the roof, which deeper and deeper under the foundations wouldn't. but like in the cellar of wooden shoal, sucking all the water from the soil one and causing it to shrink the soup. according to lab tests and the soil volume has decreased by up to almost 50 percent is our artificial leveled slope that are generated with wooden sightings that i showed with little to soil shrink us by as little as 10 percent. either the damage will be clearly visible through cracks in the building in lesson seconds, and this is the exact spot we could see from the outside. you could basically fit your hand in that one in thinking ground water. even our homes are at risk.

as took ice chill pushing house like this, it was i didn't exactly fit. the whole house is sagging and sinking into the ground . and here you can see how the wall is completely cracked, open on to just got it off from and all your sit among honestly, you wouldn't expect lack of water to be a problem in germany, georgia. but i think several factors are combining and causing this type of subsidence damage, particularly in the dry somers unities and sets will shaban, to wish torment of the line in the syllabus on us off took this one. does this hopefully i hope someone is all preserved. this house when father my parents built it, and my father actually drew up the floor plans and the so that's why we're going to make an investment showing up. this was keep it standing for the next 50 years old . to phys wilkin, does not innocent from 2 showers to it subsidence due to sinking ground water may still be a relatively unknown phenomenon in germany. but in the affluent neighborhoods of

mexico city, excessive water use is common place. even though subsidence damage is equally commonplace. in this metropolis of 20000000, jacobo espinosa of the cities water authority is responsible for recording the damage. but he can't keep up with his mother, melissa, but i see i'm the only men. here you can see the crags caused by the subsidence of the bridge of one part of the bridge. a stable by the other is thinking of it stops here. sit by all the left, it sink some 30 centimeters each year. that same thing that, that of align graves are being swallowed by the ground in the cemetery and the historic oldtown becky olive skin from here to the corner. that if you can clearly see the difference, it's almost 2 and a half meters. maybe it's massive in gamma, burst cracks,

then subsidence all over the city. yes. okay, not so you know, we didn't know why the crown was sinking. when do i not explain export america, then we were told that it was because of the excessive use of ground watch witness area by year. and jessica mexico city consumes tremendous amounts of water. and scientists, luis some bravo researches. the megalopolis is water consumption isn't grounded. it's a channel national, an enormous challenge. diaz, apply water to mexico, city, little cloud, a city of 20000000 people is a difficult task. mexico city was built where there used to be lakes and most of the cities drinking water comes from the ground. no us fuzzy to assign use no sound wood up to 10 years ago. we knew very little about the amount of water in the aquifers went on. we still don't know for certain, since there is very little public information about this. what we do know is that

the mormon water is being extracted by drilling about deeper and deeper or not. he must perform the despite officials, not really knowing how much water the region actually has here in, via they may, he go, the public waterworks keep pumping up water to somehow meet the enormous demand. anti la quinta, inn by year make equal in the basin of the via the mexico and that if there is a 300 percent over use of water. and then lovey, well that is that the difference between what's available, for example, under ground, that i am what we are pumping out seat and we're using 3 times more water gap in as being recreated. look at the aquifers will never be replenished. theme of a thing. how long can that be sustained? increasing subsidence of the ground may only be a precursor to what will come yankees have it though, and here you can see subsidence that has occurred in recent years. they left you to

the excess of water use film. there are hundreds of wells here. the drawing water day and night. the child cold neighbourhood in the middle of the country's capital has become uninhabitable. se, okay, fair to him, boy got nico north, her wounded. this part to matter of that is volcanic soil. lucky and be a dozen st. yeah. get i because it's pure rock and this is where the clay soil starts in what used to be the lake of chalka emilio over hundreds or thousands of years or feet. accumulated clea, yes, soil is now shrinking. isn't this gwendoline, when they overuse an aquifer? oh, you leave a hole in the ground, my hold or left all the pressure of the soil itself be none. and the weight of the buildings you then caused the ground to sing leprosy on the last why we have subsidence of 30 centimeters per year here. and what up to 40 centimeters per year . and then parks of the late the in there, the me into your lap, but they, they level as that. so here he met that are we are now the already have subsidence

of to 15 meters compared to previous years. here they have becky, they mass where we're at. they look at more than a neighbor whose bellucci alcoa, but yet via the child could have been of them except the lucca, valuable. i also have more or less the subsidence monumental year. it is mostly obvious. see if we put on the yellow link, what into september 30 to 40 centimeters is a lot closer. it's something like this. so to annually e knows we're seeing in the center of the city. you can see for yourself if you stand down by the angel of independently dependence or a new strategy long and only the darkest steps are original and all the others are neutral. so the reason is that mexico city is thinking, yeah, because of its water extraction balled is the fluid x that i feel the i went by the cities famous angel of independence landmark, the new steps highlight the sinking street level.

millions of people are already directly affected by the consequences of the subsidence as underground water pipes burst and break under the weight of the city . in some neighborhoods, water no longer comes out of the tap, turning it into a costly commodity. this family has been waiting half a day for the delivery of their pipa, the local water truck. it is a lot lower than we've been here since 9 this morning and i'm waiting for the tank to arrive in london. private roof water tanks be seen everywhere. just as many people without water and their numbers are growing with not only on our street, we have them in the whole city. the whole city is dry. thousands of mostly private water trucks drive through the streets, day and night, selling to those who can afford it. subsidence is endangering homes and destroyed pipes are disrupting the cities,

drinking water supply. i've been to many meetings at the mayor's office of it showed me very clearly that the government is not doing anything for us. it's getting worse everywhere. it's not just this municipality is lacking water. listen, the tank are all to here and there. but to supply a whole town like 1000 or, well, it's crazy on our 3rd. hello, none of you up with a young man . and you see now laughing, i seen without running water for 2 years after another tanka only comes by once a week, rather, a while ago, the neighbors teamed up to pay for extra water deliveries from a private company are gonna be in the beginning,

the delivery cost $800.00 pesos. oh yeah. now it's between 135-1400 pesos. so it's almost doubled. and we can't afford it any more. the battle ah, the people of mexico city have to help themselves. but the over use of ground water in the middle of one of the most active earthquake zones in the world poses an even greater threat when that is take a look. we fiddle soon aquifers dry up, the ground has less stability $1000000.00. and then when there is an earthquake, it can be much stronger, much more violent, the more we might expect if the aquifer would be more less full. unseasonal quando, luckily felicity, muslim. and again, what the continued over use of the city's ground water resources could mean for the millions of people is only just beginning to show

like, everywhere in nature, one thing is clear, everything is connected. keep almost us from the confess dorothy, that only the hydrologic co catastrophe. we are undoubtedly heading for that will be a huge struggle. we should immediately begin to steer everything towards sustainability, but it's not being talked about, but we need immediate political action. if we do nothing sidewalk we will have massive problems, must mercedes and was part of human beings. although it's still not too late to halt the devastating climate crisis. we continue to destroy natural wonders for our water extraction. like here in the us, where the mighty colorado river flows through the grand canyon. having such an

impact that we could kill the colorado river and, and this down cutting that's been going on for 70000000 years, very naturally. we could end. this is not, this is not politics. this is just opening our eyes. we're observing what's out here. we're doing this and we need to be accountable for it. these are the images that show our responsibility towards nature and future generations. in this area is called the entropy same and it is recording the wide spread disregard for the environment, the massive injection of greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, methane, other dangerous gases into the atmosphere. and whoever is around whether it's humans or something else in a couple of 1000000 years. when they look back,

they're going to ask the question, what the heck, where these people think did they wiped themselves out? maybe they're going to think that their brains, that our brains weren't as evolved as they should be. because obviously we are in a pathway on a trajectory for self destruction, who ah ah, no how to vacuum in 0 gravity? my ts moga does, he was part of the crew on the international space station for almost 6 months. what does it actually like to live in space?

back on earth, he tells us about the everyday life of an astronaut. tomorrow. ah, in 30 minutes, dw, we love europe. we love diversity, and anything unusual, no mountain is too high, and no road is too long. in search of the extraordinary we are the specialists of the lifestyle europe, your romance. 90 minutes on d w. a day. that is a journey across the entire continent is a variety of cod. so what on this?

so all the focus, the movers shake is visionaries and made has when binding the meaning of modern africa this is an egg on d. w with this is dw news live from berlin, united the un secretary general says ukraine to energy belongs to ukraine. antonia good tatters calls on russian not to cut this upper region nuclear plant from new canes power grid. something keowee says moscow is planning to do. also coming up on the program.
