drought in the horn of africa means ever more people that are facing extreme hunger and dangerous friendship. why vladimir putin has a growing fan base in indonesia. for the past 6 months, ukraine has been defending a more than 2000 kilometer long front against russia's invasion, which contravenes international law. millions of people are on the run. thousands of soldiers on both sides have been killed or injured many towns and villages lion ruins. but russia's plans go far beyond ukraine. it wants to weaken the west and is seeking allies around the world to do so. russian mercenaries active in molly, for example, threatened to jeopardize the un mission there. and d stabilize the entire saw hel, region,
2:32 am
potentially grave consequences for western europe and elsewhere to this admiration for the supposing strong man in the kremlin, vladimir putin there on their way to russian class watching as taxi drivers, real estate agents and taurus guides on the island of holly that used to during business with russian tourists. some bully lamar loosened and has to be able to speak russian on barley brothers. most of us work in tourism. and since lots of russians started coming here, it's important to speak russian mcguffey as opposed to many russians are settling permanently on barley, 30 year old dita is married to a russian like that. she's visited moscow twice. she likes russia and putin above all, just like her friend triana ah deflect. if he has no take and he has beautiful eyes. look, i see a little as i go, let his po, i think he's a good person to feel over. it takes a strong man like him to lead such
2:33 am
a big country woman. yeah, lou, who do i love po john. he's clever and yes, very strong. only he thought that russia and indonesia have had close relations for decades. been running. russia supported indonesian independence back in the 1950s. rinaldo to r. kelly explains he teaches russian studies at indonesia biggest state university . neither he or the cap and one, at least this of this close relationship and, and indonesia and russia have developed partnerships and many sectors and fields. carriers are mine. now in particular from the year 2000 onwards, the dk from education technology, that rate on the economy to fighting terrorism and bicycle by contract, that'll re sma russia, has even managed to cultivate and islam friendly image. amongst other things, by investing and cultural centers, state managed media and stipends that's important in indonesia, which has the world's largest muslim population. now,
2:34 am
by their math that we've been on under puritans leadership, islam, islam has become a part of russia and that he banga rushes, national identity, no also encompasses islam, blah blah, from the reverse is true for the image of the u. s. booty man. so jeff mico from the countries ruling party stresses the was again, muslim majority states like afghanistan, iraq and libya have been stirring up antipathy towards u. s. foreign policy. for years. many indonesians see the u. s. as a super power out for global domination and to crush other cultures when he got bizarre. brown was here. okay. as far as the war between russia and ukraine was concerned, russia is seen as the only country that has the courage to oppose western expansion plans that he, i overhear conversations in small stores or taxi's like where people say the west seems to want ukraine law and that is perceived as a clear threat to russia. you're probably, there was. yeah, yeah. you're on level or officially, the indonesian government is neutral. president,
2:35 am
yoko widow has presented himself as an unbiased mediator. he recently visited keith and the destruction in surrounding neighborhoods, but then travelled on to moscow by about our response is proportionate. that's why we're against sanctions. we shouldn't isolate the country. the impact on energy and food supplies could be enormous. one way we don't want to pour gasoline on to a burning fire at the language school on bali, the not quite as neutral as that president. there are lots of anti western and pro russian videos circulating on the internet. when they all know is putin's address at the victory day parade, to mark the defeat of nazi germany. ah, earlier fiorenza, when i see that video, i sense patriotism, strong leadership heroism, any country that was ever attacked or colonized these like me, indonesians,
2:36 am
where will also be able to sympathize with eliza these language students at my a pearson's military strength and indonesia. russian propaganda is falling on fertile soil. ah, the you estimates that this year europe has seen the worst drought for 500 years. almost half the com has been affected. ah, the economics consequence is a huge. but the situation is not life threatening for people that it's a different story. in easton africa for years it seems to little rainfall. drought in the horn of africa has left full point. 7000000 children, undefined in ethiopia, suffering from acute malnutrition. 1.5000000 in somalia and around 950000 in kenya across the region. more than 6000000 livestock have died or have had to be snorted. over
2:37 am
$25000.00 sheep, goats and cattle are being slaughtered by the canyon government and the meat distributed to families suffering from extreme malnutrition. in africa, animals are usually slaughtered to mark celebrations and signal prosperity. the meat is typically cooked for guests and friends are at weddings, but in cembura, in the north of the country, it has become a sign of desperation. one quote has been shipped by full households on one coast by then also. so it will help in terms of also uploading them as, as i mean, so by to live operations auto emissions were dead on the drought is not just the problem here, but throughout east africa it hasn't rained properly for more than a year. nothing grows here. any more people and animals are suffering from water shortages. so kenya has decided to slaughter any animals that are already weak. would gladly el,
2:38 am
unless i am 30 cows and are all emaciated because of the drought. get out. if it doesn't rain soon, it will be a huge loss for me. i was off. so i've come had to sell my house. mostly. women and children sit by a tree and enjoy my they would yet. they have walked for hours in the heat. in the hopes of getting help for their malnourished jo drain. i'm other with them. i might have that one. i took my child to hospital for treatment and was told at white to little then i'm going to a patrick doc is a nurse at the nearby in gila health center. he tries to help where he can, but the use of drought, the heat and the long distances make it difficult. most families only have mays flower mixed with water to eat. so let's see what the most of the times. so was or then say don't get these other fruits because here and on to places very dry. so we don't athlete tables. we don't really know the fruit, so
2:39 am
w e and that eat on that. okay. so they are slaughtering cattle. this provides income for farmers food for the people and fewer animals to fight over what little water is available. but it also has a negative impact on their livelihoods. it's a temporary solution for an ongoing problem though, is something that is that if it, it, because he, the slicing away. so for, for today or to that the v defending that did you have of yes, you will have them. but someone is going to sell and others will be the need. so at least their household food would be at least assisted in memory. parched earth as far as the i can see, the people in eastern kenya's toner river region have not seen heavy rainfall for months. the majority of people here are cattle herders. they live from their animals. and so they walk hundreds of kilometers in search of water. and look
2:40 am
up on this, katie or hertz didn't manage to acclimatize when we came here while romfolo quintinella fully the health deteriorated massively far for koya either. why do e peppa we are suffering and i, because of the drought. i thought most of the animals have died by night then i will come in. yeah. ms. india at a local facility. each day, the women of the tunnel river walk to a small water basin to fill their plastic containers, but they can see the water levels getting lower and lower here to the united nations world food program fears there could be a humanitarian catastrophe. currently, over 15000000 people of it impacted my require food assistance evolve of africa on if the rains continue to fail as we are witnessing is particular over 20000000 people will be impacted on whether dwelt underwood, quail, food assistance. the drought is hitting the youngest, particularly hard. unicef estimates that some 8000000 children between the ages of
2:41 am
5 and 15 are at risk of starvation. they don't have the strength left in their emaciated bodies to even make it to the nearest 8 point. higher food prices also means smaller deliveries from the aid organizations. we've seen the cost of energy go up with the recent india international situation. and even coastal production of food you something about the days of medical song. but this will also go up. heavy rain is with the people in the horn of africa are hoping for, but it doesn't look likely, at least for the next few months that could dramatically worse in the situation across east africa. were planes cause trains that full, very noisy in the you alone. more than a 100000000 people are exposed to high levels of noise pollution in their daily
2:42 am
lives. and it's not only people who suffer animals due to particularly marine life, the propellers of them more than $62000.00 cargo ships on our seas create an enormous amount of noise which can be heard for kilometers around. there are many other sources of ocean noise pollution to the dim drives fish from their feeding and breeding areas. and in the worst cases it can even kill them. blue the ocean is a symphony of sounds well, at least where they can still be heard. we humans have made the sea noisier than ever before and the way things are going, the underwater world is set to become one thing. even louder with devastating
2:43 am
effects on marine life. oh kidding. to predator lloyd incense in their environment . so really finding or is that actually holding let's explore some smart ways of turning down the volume in the ocean and find out why this might also be good for the climate o. underwater sound waves travelled extremely fast and up to thousands of kilometers. sound is essential for almost all marine animals from whales to jelly, fish, animals you sound to communicate, to navigate and define mating partners or pray. but hearing what those creatures need to hear it's getting increasingly difficult.
2:44 am
summary life is currently exposed to noise levels that can destroy their sense of hearing, literally render them deaf or kill them. it's like you're logging around in a fog. that's a pretty serious effect to for animals that depend on sound so much. so why are the oceans becoming so noisy? one factor is offshore wind farms, and when energy is generally a good thing. but installing offshore turbines creates a great deal of noise in the north sea. it damage the hearing of porpoises driving them away from their feeding and breeding grounds. and perform agents are most likely exceed pilots and they have to drive into the steep it by hammering or mpeg pile driving. and this course under warren loss, which is smallest, comparable as in stopping aircraft. the sounds emitted by the pile structural elements smashing into the sea floor travel several kilometers from the source. but help is on the way compressed air flowing through tubes on the ocean floor.
2:45 am
round the piles create bubbles that rise to the surface, forming a tight insulation curtain. fewer sound waves managed to penetrate the barrier leading to a 90 percent reduction in volume. this is how things sound without an air bubble curtain and this is with an air bubble curtain. challenging issues that if to, to lift with feel floor conditions, wind waves, weather conditions, currents and so on. but thanks to ty, to regulations the curtains are now almost standard for construction off germany's north sea coast. and interest is also picking up in the us, the netherlands, and taiwan implementing bubble curtains cost just one percent or less of the total investment for an offshore wind farm. the music loud we're going
2:46 am
in. so wind turbines are one thing, but there's a bigger problem. container ships international shipping is by far the main source of noise pollution in our oceans. the culprit and the potential solution is the ship's propeller. domestic pressure cooker is worked by controlling the steam pressure inside them, pushing up the temperature at which water boils. the resulting higher heat means faster cooking. i ships, propeller the opposite happens, not with food, but with water and effect called cavitation. so it, due to the fast motion of that propeller through the water. locally, the pressure is extremely low so that ambient temperature, the water boys and creates them bubbles, creates a vapor bubbles. and these bubbles grow. and these bubbles shrink and collapse. this generates noise levels comparable to
2:47 am
a rock concert on dry land. the solution has the potential to be good news for the climate. and the profit margins of big shipping companies, essentially, fewer bubbles can mean lower fuel consumption. in 2017 denmark based mask retrofitted, the propellers and engines of 5 vessels, primarily to say fuel. but their sound emissions also dropped by 75 percent. this add on device improves of vessels flow in the water, which according to its maker means less cavitation and fuel savings of up to 8 percent. but installation isn't cheap. and shipping, firms are rarely obliged to make. the changes with cargo price is currently very high. they prefer to keep ships in operation rather than investing in a retrofit for many ships. that could be savings possible, especially due to the fact that each ship needs to go to dr. dropping each say,
2:48 am
each a 4 to 5 years to incentivize ship operators. the port of vancouver has cut port charges for certified quieter vessels by as much as half but the loudest defenders are seismic air guns. the fossil fuel industry uses them to locate new oil and gas fields in the ocean. their sound waves are as loud as a spacecraft and can be heard hundreds of kilometers from the source. for days, sometimes even weeks or months, these tubes fire out compressed air every 10 seconds. with every blast, 2 thirds of all soul plankton larva, within a kilometer of the explosion, dropped dead. they insure the health of the ecosystem here while credibly wasteful . they're way too loud. for what they need to do. ironically, the fossil fuel industry is itself conducting research on more environmentally
2:49 am
friendly methods for its surveys. one technique is called marine viber size, which generates the required signals by a vibration instead of an explosion. the result is more of a constant hom, rather than a big sudden blast and air gun. so strong a good, a foot, rip your arm off. whereas a virus eyes on land, you can put an egg underneath and panic. wrong. great. initial models suggest that the impact on marine life would be just 10 percent of that of an air gone. the likes of exxon mobil total energies and shell may have their eye on another advantage. however, marine viber size can also map oil and gas in shallow waters. but doesn't this sound paradoxical, more sustainable methods to find more fossil fuels? we really should not be, we just should not be surging, pearl and gas under the o. she any more we, you know,
2:50 am
we really need to make this green transition. that's the main solution. there are plenty of options for reducing marine noise pollution, but more progress is needed on the regulatory front. in 2011 germany introduced one of the world's 1st noise limits in place to protect north sea marine life. air bubble curtains are now standard. there in the industry is doing fine. taiwan is introducing a similar regulation. quieter is better for the environment, but without incentives or new laws. the industry has few reason to change. hulu. when tropical storms move across el salvador, the country can be hit by up to 50 centimeters of rain per day. that's more than a many european cities old year. storms and becoming heavier and more common. climate change is wreaking havoc with the country. rising sea levels, drought, hurricane. a local environmental initiative is encouraging action in el salvador
2:51 am
small changes for a big go, protecting the habitat, if those people and animals paradise . on the brink. for thousands of years, mangroves lined this pacific coastline. but rising sea levels have decimated vast swathes of them. conservationists from the salvador and center for appropriate technology already see the grim reality of climate change. yet among that, that the governor vs mangrove sprite up just last year. over and over there were old mangrove forest. but look, now only sham animals. all these mangroves behind me are over 30 meters tall because the city hasn't gotten this i yet it'll say, but levels are rising. that's what i got on yellow van. a lot of the people who lived here had to abandon their homes, like so many in el salvador, they had no choice but to flee rising sea levels. realities such as these compelled
2:52 am
ricardo, nevada, to fight climate change from a relatively young age. he founded sessa 40 years ago, with people in the region, he works to raise awareness of environmental issues. i say more close and st, and also memory care that we're not just aiming to raise awareness among others. but also amongst ourselves, angela. we believe that says those project to reduce plastic himself and everything that causes pollution and rising temperatures are all important when it comes to reducing climate change for them. and we're here to look at her congo play mod vehicle. many wild animals species here are endangered. and now their habitats are being destroyed. gambler mountain capital in my lodgings is a global problem, but it's caused by the world's richest people who consume far more resources school and generate more greenhouse gases. i mean diesel mackwood it this way. the world's elite owes poor people, m a massive environmental debt already,
2:53 am
and it's the poor people who suffer most from climate change. and that meant that, that the ma over this inequality is reflected in the lives of many women in the small communities around san salvador. sister is training them how to fall mechanically. despite l. salvatore's fertile soil, more than 70 percent of its food, including fresh produce, is imported. as a result, c o 2 emissions from transport and storage a high in recent years, women like that on ika dead, assario eci go independent, have started to grow their own vegetables and fruits organically. it's now their main source of income, about 80 female farm. as a taking part in the project, as a result, supplies of regional fruits and vegetables have significantly increased in a set that us, if their la la la sam look at the neighborhood. but although we announcer harvest to the community, does it up at sun salim, or have a lead in a colonial? then we go around selling our produce from carts. sunbeam is that all the la la
2:54 am
mole, homo. we sell a lot eve, as we can provide for cells, and there's always still some left over to cell lama sima eat, but even they most often the regional produce includes varieties of crops that don't grow elsewhere. the women who farm exchange knowledge and also seats this protects by a diversity. ongoing training is offered free of charge. as part of the initiative to day people have gathered from 5 different communities. many of them would like to take part in the project. they've noticed how native seeds often prove more resilient to rising temperatures. what a saw is to some with the boys and me a coin, matthew, a used native sees and want to form organically law. he got hold of him float in love in laconia. i am willing for delicate beaming moral. one example is using mulch from need of fruit trees to shield soil from sunlight and evaporation law.
2:55 am
live up what i see on a label that beat us young men of that this keeps the earth moist. so it makes the crops more resistant to climate change you than that iowa. i said a mattress in the envelope with you. how come get the month to go? living in harmony with nature was a tenets of the ancient mayan civilization which inhabited this region for ricardo nevada. this is important. he wants to restore harmony with the countries natural and cultural roots. it topic in your gambiola comp. again, you'll see back door these small changes will remain. so unless more people join in, they don't feel like the force of a hurricane. the computer thing at the end of the day, it's a coward, comes from any small water trash weren't working together in a club ward way in the way as one made organism. even if change is slow, this growing environmental movement is inspired and determined. they will never
2:56 am
give up the fight for sustainability in el salvador or the fight for the countries future. and that so from asset global 3000, this time, thanks for joining us. did you enjoy the show? let us know, right t global 3000 at d, w dot com and you'll find us on facebook at table d w global ideas. see next time. and until then take care. ah ah, ah, ah.
