ah, listen carefully. don't know how to do go ah, feel the matter. discover the world around you. subscribe to d w documentary on youtube. ah, ah, welcome to global 3000 deadly racket. widespread noise pollution is harming marine life in our oceans. scorching sun
4:31 am
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 the state eyes,
4:32 am
the entire saw hel region, was potentially grave consequences for western europe and elsewhere to does admiration for the suppose in stone. man, in the kremlin, vladimir putin there on their way to russian class. watching his taxi drivers, real estate agents and tourist guides on the island of bali. they used to during business with russian tourists. and william, i'm a little newsman, have 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, how is matthew? here is my take and he has beautiful eyes. look, i see you at last. let his po, i think he's a good person to feel over. it takes
4:33 am
a strong man like him to lead such a big country woman. yeah, yeah, lou did i love to john? he is clever and yes, very strong. only thought that russia and indonesia have had close relations for decades. been running. russia supported indonesian independence back in the 1950s. rinaldo to r chelly explains he teaches russian studies at indonesia biggest state university . neither he or the cup and who on the basis of this close relationship and, and indonesia and russia, needs to have developed partnerships and many sectors and fields of yes are mana, in particular from the year 2000 onwards, the deacon from education technology, that rate on the economy to fighting terrorism on bio flat ha, contract delivery sma. russia has even managed to cultivate and islam friendly image. amongst other things by investing in cultural centers, state managed media and stipends. that's important in indonesia,
4:34 am
which has the world's largest muslim population. now by their mosacco, moving on under puritans leadership, islam, islam has become a part of russia and that he beneatha rushes, national identity, no also encompasses islam, blah blah. the reverse is true for the image of the u. s. booty man. so jeff mico from the countries ruling party stresses the wars against muslim majority. states like have gun us down, iraq and libya have been staring up antipathy towards u. s. foreign policy for years. also, many indonesians see the u. s. as a super power out for global domination, and to crush of the cultures when he got bizarre, brown was here. ok, 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. did it. i overhear conversations in small stores or taxi's work where people say, the west seems to want ukraine, and that is perceived as a clear threat to russia. you're wrong, there was a, you are all my boss. all officially,
4:35 am
the indonesian government is neutral. president, yoko widow has presented himself as an unbiased mediator. he recently visited keith on the destruction and 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. but we don't want to pour gasoline onto a burning fire viola at the language school on bali. they're not quite as neutral as their president. there are lots of anti western and pro russian videos circulating on the internet. one, they all know as putin's address at the victory day parade, to mark the defeat of nazi germany. ah, earlier video. i mean, when i see that video, i sense patriotism, strong leadership heroism, any country that was ever attacked or colonized in either like re,
4:36 am
indonesians where will also be able to sympathize with in these language students. at my puritans, 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 continent has been affected. the economic consequences, a huge, but the situation is not life threatening for people. there is a different story in eastern africa for years. it seems to little rainfall. drought in the horn of africa has left full point. 7000000 children under 5 in ethiopia, suffering from acute malnutrition, 1500000 in somalia, and around 950000 in kenya. across the region. more than 6000000 livestock have died or have had to be slow.
4:37 am
over $25000.00 sheep, goats and cattle are being slaughtered by the canyon government and the meat distributed to family. suffering from extreme malnutrition. in africa, animals are usually slaughtered to march celebrations and signal prosperity. the meat is typically cooked for guests and friends are at weddings, but in some bureau, in the north of the country, it has become a sign of desperation. one participant ship bye for households on the one coast by then also. so it will help in terms of also supporting them as i mean, so by to live operations alterations were dead. one point, 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
4:38 am
glenn line l, unless i am 30 cows and i roll emaciated because of the drought. let's get out if it doesn't rain saying it will be a huge loss for me. let us. so i've come had to sell my house. no, say women and children sit by a tree and enjoy my they will yet. they have walked for hours in the heat, in the hopes of getting help for their malnourished children of other women. what live? i might have one. i took my child to hospital for treatment and was told it white to little. then again, it 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 the see what the most of the times so was are then seemed to get these other fruits because here, dana to places very dry. so we don't offer that easy tables. we don't really know
4:39 am
the fruit, so d, will he and then 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. he's sending me his video because he the slicing away. so for, for to dale to that, the v defending that did you have obviously to have them the someone is going to sell and about when do they meet? so at least their household for to be at least assisted no parched earth as far as the i can see the people in eastern kenny as tanya 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 we're going to call them this katie,
4:40 am
or hertz didn't managed to acclimatize when we came here while of comfort. luke was in the lap wholly, their health deteriorated massively far for koya either way to ear peppa. we're suffering in a night because the drought ha, most of the animals have died. my night there now coming here in this, in the, at a medical facility each day, the women of the tanner 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 will not require food assistance, the loan of africa. and if the reins continued to fail, as we are witnessing is predicted of over 20000000 people will be impacted on whether dwelt underwood quite a food assistance. the drought is hitting the youngest, particularly hard units,
4:41 am
have estimates that some 8000000 children between the ages of 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 back de la, medical son. 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 than the situation across east africa with plains, cars trains that whole very noisy in the you alone. more than a 100000000 people are exposed to high levels of noise pollution in their daily
4:42 am
lives. and it's not only people who suffer animals due to particularly marine life . the propellers of the more than $62000.00 congo ships on our seas create an enormous amount of noise which can be heard for kilometers around. and there are many other sources of ocean noise pollution to the dim drives fish from that feeding and breeding areas. and in the worst cases it can even kill them . 2 2 2 lou, the ocean is a symphony of sounds, 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
4:43 am
effects on marine life. oh, keating, tis creditor, lloyd, and sensing and violent findings had actually 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 wales to jelly, fish. animals you sound to communicate, to navigate and define mating partners or pray. but hearing what those creatures need to hear is getting increasingly difficult.
4:44 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. then agents are most likely exceed pilots and they have to drive into the steep it by hammering or and pick pile driving. and this course on the water noise 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.
4:45 am
but help is on the way compressed air flowing through tubes on the ocean floor round the piles creates 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 sure, conditions, wind waves, weather conditions, currents and so on. but thanks to tight 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. music loud,
4:46 am
we're going in. so wind turbines are one thing, but there's a bigger problem. container ships ah, 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 boils and creates the am bubbles, creates a vapor bubbles. and these bubbles grow. and these bubbles shrink and collapse.
4:47 am
this generates noise levels comparable to 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 the vessels flow and 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,
4:48 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 ah, but the loudest offenders are seismic air guns. the fossil fuel industry uses them to locate new oil and gas fields in the ocean. oh, their sound waves are as loud as a spacecraft and can be heard hundreds of kilometers from the source. oh, for days, sometimes even weeks or months, these tubes fire out compressed air every 10 seconds. ah! with every blast, 2 thirds of oz, all plankton larva within a kilometer of the explosion, dropped dead. they insure the health of the ecosystem here, one's on credibly wasteful. they are way too loud for what they need to do. i
4:49 am
radically, the fossil fuel industry is itself conducting research on more environmentally 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 agree. ready rapier arm off, whereas a vibrant size i land, you can put an egg underneath and roll. great. initial models suggest that the impact on marine life would be just 10 percent of that of an aragon. 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 the sound paradoxical, more sustainable methods to find more fossil fuels? we really should not be. we just should not be searching for oil and gas under the
4:50 am
ocean anymore. we, you know, 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 flu 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 in many european cities, all year. storms are 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
4:51 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 them ugly that the governor views mangrove stride up just last year. over and over there were old mangrove forests. but look, now you only sham animals. all these mangroves behind me are over 30 meters tall because the city hasn't gotten this are yet able, fair, but levels are rising like a gallano 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.
4:52 am
reality is such as these compelled ricardo, nevada to fight climate change from a relatively young age. he founded cesta 40 years ago, with people in the region he works to raise awareness of environmental issues. i came across and sent an order from you, maria, that we're not just aiming to raise awareness among others, but also amongst ourselves, angela. we believe that says this project to reduce plastic usage and everything that causes pollution and rising temperatures are all important when it comes to reducing climate change for the new year. and okay, hon matego, many wild animals species here are endangered. and now their habitats are being destroyed. wcl mud, the got it all in my line 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
4:53 am
elite owes poor people, m a massive environmental debt forward, and it's the poor people who suffer most from climate change in that element that, that them over to 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, rosario eci go independence, 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 had significantly increased in a set that us if their law land the c m. ok then then we'll had, but although we announcer harvest to the community, does it up at sun saleem or have a lead in a colonia?
4:54 am
then we go around selling our produce from carts. sunbeam is that all of that, la, la mole, homo, we sell a lot eve, i think we can provide for sells, and there's always still some left over to sell low matt seymour e. 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 biodiversity. 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 that project. they've noticed how native seeds often prove more resilient to rising temperatures. for esl is to some way that people, as in me a coin, a few or use needed sees in want to form organically law. he can put a handful in last in laconia. i as well if with delicate dinning moral one example
4:55 am
is using mulch from need of fruit trees to shield soil from sunlight and evaporation law. live up what i see on a label that bit i see on saying men of that this keeps the earth moist. so it makes the crops more resistant to climate change you than the iowa. i said, my resilient, they're looking at you. how come get the multiple living in harmony with nature was the tenants 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 don't. mcdaniel cambia comp. again, you'll see him back door. these small changes will remain. so unless more people join in like the force of a hurricane that can be anything at the end of the day, it's a coward, comes from many small waterfall working together in a club ward way and away as one made organic father. even if change is slow, this growing environmental movement is inspired and determined. they will never
4:56 am
give up the fight for sustainability in el salvador. oh, the fight for the country's future. ah. and that's all from our side global 3000 this time. thanks for joining us. did you enjoy the show? let us know right to global 3000 at d, w dot com, and you'll find us on facebook to d w global ideas. see you next time, and until then take care. ah ah ah.
