rely on how you know, if i had known that the boat would be that small, i never would have gone on the trade, but i feel i would not to put myself and my parents in that dang grill got it's a theme of the that he was leave would love on centralized london liberty to give them i had a serious problems on a personal level and i was unable to live there with you want to know their story info, migrant clarified and reliable information. for my grants a most the force are not feeling the effect of climate change. there is forest fires, droughts of weather in africa, or europe everywhere is hot in op,

which means our weekly environment show is no more important than ever. welcome to echo africa from ogen state nigeria. i am chris phillips. are welcome from me too. i am sandra, twin over you, and i'm here in counselor, uganda. well, drought, and how people cope with it. ease. only one aspect. we're looking out in this fixture also on the program. reviving an ancient irrigation method, him to museum. we show you how to better maintain the increasing number of wind turbines in europe's waters. and saving the rough, how namibia is protecting the walls, tallest land, and today we start our show in europe where persistently hot temperatures have been causing major problems, including forest fires, crew failure, and heat related death. the wild wildlife bond says eat calculations shown by 2050

. the number of people facing extreme water shortages in europe will have risen by 50 percent. farmers are especially feeling it right now. most funding areas are at less than half their regular water capacities. so do we really have options for countering the water shortage? this plant is still something of a rarity on german farms. the chic pay, it's more commonly cultivated in the dryer regions of southern early. the scientists have planted the la game hair on a small organic farm to test it under these conditions. chick piece. grow well in the chalky sandy loam soil found in the ok. mark a region in northeast and germany gum circus in this year. we had severe drought once again on the crop developed really well in figure here in this

location, it demonstrated a high tolerance for drought and on that will be very important in the future with hair in one of the countries driest regions. the research is attesting 5 different types of chick p and they're also collaborating with local organic farmers. the most productive chick p plants could boost their income. up to now chick peas, have mainly been imported, and demand for them is rising. and guns and shade enough, one very decisive factor will be the extent to which we managed to create landscapes that retain water effectively in particular, locker cultural deemed. or don, it's not enough to just switch to new cry like trophies switched. it's is it somebody kisha opposite? porter shortages are not just affecting farming. ground water levels have fallen throughout germany. the amount of water currently lacking as a whole year's worth of rain and say climate researchers from finish. now

there's little coming from above to replenish the larger amounts of water evaporating from rivers lakes and marshland. yahoo! even less rainfall. the higher temperatures and more of operations offered rules means that we're facing critical situation law more frequently. kritisha said towards june, her corman saving water would be one of the 1st steps to take but people are still filling their private pools or watering their gardens liberally further depleting, ground water resources, stroudsburg act. now, a suburb of berlin, where a lot of new houses have pools, is one of the few municipalities in the region to take action. from now onwards, anyone using more than the average of a 105 cubic meters per day, we'll have to pay a fine add new construction has been put on hold. but water shortages are probably her to stay. climate researchers estimate that the state of brandenburg will have to make due with 20 percent less water by 2045. there's

already a low water management plan, but that won't be sufficient. d, a written tampa to one period because of water loss due to rising temperatures and subsequent evaporation of 100 where you sided that we will take legal is that not to establish an official war. to reserve fleshed leash on bracelets at apple, even the plan is to set aside 20 percent of available water as a precaution. meaning the local war works and citizens would have less war to at their disposal. the german capital has its own experience of managing limited amounts of water balance. drinking water supplies come from ground water, which is largely fed by nearby lakes and rivers. but it's not enough. the city has been boosting ground water levels for a long time. now pre purified water from 2 rivers is pumped into pons, which then seeps down into the ground water that provides around 10 percent more

drinking water. and that's all recycle t on. i'm shoes on a warm summer's day. we use about 750000 cubic meters a day. and at the same time we put the same amount of waste water back into the system. possibly in the same way. you can see that more or less balance is out balance or graphy with that kind of circular usage is more than the quantity should be adequate in dry years to google ya cam hi. but if levels continue to drop, then there may be less water in circulation. the water company's a cooling on the city to provide more spaces that are able to absorb rain water rather than the ever more impermeable surfaces. keeping water in the soil, that's an important aspect of organic farming yoke. usta had a good lupin harvest this year. it's a crop that can cope with modest rainfall. preparation of the soil also plays an

important role after the harvest. it's only lightly tailed and then come when you're a spread on top to create human up, you have the alpha tire, we have a certain amount of water available for the year away. all the work we do on the fields has to be adapted to that. hosting, so we try to work the soil as lightly as possible or to lucas flat, so we don't air right too much soil wouldn't lift because then the water simply evaporates offered to instead the cultivation of these protein which like games is profitable because the crop can be turned into flour or used in beacon products. your usa is looking for other alternatives for the future. so perhaps along with white lupins chick peas will soon be harvested here too. well, thing on the subject of waters castillo, when our head to tunisia in northern africa, here farmers is up to 80 percent of all what are used in the country. so they really need to change their behavior moving forward. sometimes it is enough to take

advantage of the old traditions. so take a look at the switch, doing gibbons, blah. ah, olive trees are hearty plans that you well and arid regions. up to a point in the past, there used to be adequate rainfall here in northern tunisia. but due to climate change, it's become a lot dryer. and now farmer mohammad been is maya transports water to the orchards from a well that is far away. water that's becoming increasingly scarce. so he's filling allah's clay pots that he's buried in the ground. the un glazed vessels have porous walls can are quite large. if the soil dries out the pots act as a reserve to keep the roots well supplied,

the trees just get the right amount of water pyramid. this methods better than direct watering because when you pull water on to the ground, the water around the tree evaporates and better still with ancient method does the job using around 60 percent less water chemist. an olive tree expert, he man quiz land. he is carrying out chests on trees. here in ben is my us orchard laconically. my meter, when the weather is humid or when it rains up by, you know, water seats out of the vessels look lost can get luscious high when it's dry and the trees need water there has no roots, can absorb it directly from the supply in the buried part as well, the bet i feel the low other a patio did, elijah and there is another advantage. these trees produced around 20 percent more olives. despite less water being used, the olla method dispenses water much more efficiently.

and tell about you, if you are also doing your best, tell us about is visit our website both send us the tweets hash tag doing jo, base. ah, we share your stories. lorenzo re montes africa's a largest mountain range, also known as the mountains of the moon. they struggled the body to uganda and the democratic republic of congo. they are a popular destination for players and white life tourism. absolutely, and it's one of the most beautiful places in your country, sandra, but sadly, here to climate change is having an impact. and the famed glazier saw melted forest could help to slow the process in the area. one man in uganda has used his own many to do just that. here is our echo hero of the week. may

just chorus. it's the sweet reward for nurturing and protecting the small forest and allowing it to flourish. i've got a pattern with animals and birds, and the ecosystem. we must see it amazing cause the tranquillity you can have your peace of mind here. you can mid th, and lake that noise in the city tomba jenna's family once grew crops on this land. but they, kids ago the former hotel manager, dedicated 5 hickory as of it solely to trees. i've been to europe and out of these places and whatnot, says land geneva, zurich, in perry. and all these places his people have what the green and trees and what if it is in the cities

and i don't see why we can't at least did some of those things and do it the same, you know, replicate them. we know our cities the small wooded area is close to the same terrace foot motto in weston uganda, often referred to as they get in city. footer is a gateway to numerous national parks and safaris, but its popularity is both a blessing. and because this city of 50000 inhabitants is expanding and that has taken a toy on the local nature we used to have trees in town and within that, those 3, they're no longer there. the news have wetlands co solved by lewis. that's not the case. here where this is a wiring trend for the environmentalist foot pottery,

surrounded by in number of precarious nature sites, including charlie national buck with its population of wild chimpanzees. and queen elizabeth national park on 2 great herds of elephants. and on the horizon, the reins or re mountains africa's 3rd largest mountain range here just as elsewhere around the globe, the glassy as at 5000 meters, a melting due to human driven, global warming, the fresh water that flows through the rivera foot portal also comes from here it's another part of the fragile ecosystem that more general wants to see protected. now to river new, literally know his bus, his band, the reserve mountains, and into as leak out. but as the assembly cutover and it goes through

lake area, but comes out as the album now. and jane is the other the other you, if you could give me an off, it goes to says gonna. so leslie linking to reading the eco activist is so passionate about the environment is of unwilling to fight for routine coat. boy, janice celebrated success at the foot of courthouse after swing a road construction company for polluting the air. and when the case that's when the whole country knew that even that the, that i'd call certain names because it's where by every citizen they to, to clean and his environment from vain. now these fellows cannot do a rod in any, in any community without spraying it with the water po, war to pumps, whatever it is on the road, so that the,

the madam becomes wait and doesn't have to me to do that, to dest. but what will happen to me by jenna's little paradise when he's no longer around, he has rejected an offer of millions from a tourist group trustees at to ensure that the forest remains as it ease even after his death. when he passed away. you future? am people coming after me? don't destroy what have nachos for all these? yes. oh, why? to my grandmother who came here 1930 lift. that legacy may mother followed it. i'll die neat and there and why to the new future generation. to do this in, over the last 3 decades, uganda has lost more than half of its natural forests to encroachment according to

the conservationist. that alone should be enough incentive for the next generations to follow his example. now let's move to europe, the governments. they are searching for new sources of energy and not just because of the energy crisis caused by war in ukraine. so they switch to renewables. more and more big wind farms are been planned and constructed in the north sea. the problem is they also need regular maintenance. scientists from the u. k. want to help facilitate that task in the future. offshore wind turbines. they produce a lot of electricity, but maintaining them is complex and costly. this tank at a scottish university can simulate conditions at see the scientists here a testing a remotely operated vehicle, or are we designed to make the upkeep of offshore wind farms safer and cheaper?

if successful, the device could revolutionize the offshore wind industry? you have to imagine that in 1015 years time they'll be under the wind farms, which means there's a wind turbine. it's all across the coast of the u. k. u also. so maybe you, i, ga, and technology is being developed and all of it will need to be maintained, inspected, and service development. using last step, we have lots of crew. this is not scalable. there are currently around $5500.00 offshore wind turbines. in europe alone, like britain, many countries on the north and baltic seas want to expand the offshore production in the coming years. wind turbines becoming bigger and bigger. most of the heavy steel structures anchored to the sea bed in deep water, far off the coast. that put them under

a lot of strain. so the supports must be checked regularly for signs of damage. but typically mission would be to send the vehicle down. typically, you know, see 4050 meters rally more. but in other parts of the world, you're talking of under the meters, and you need to equip the system with some turnover. so the system of a set of cameras here. so now system acoustic system for image lights. and what most maintenance work on wind turbines is done by industrial divers, but it's tough work and very expensive, not to mention extremely dangerous in future, many tasks can be formed by our v. typically, you would have corrosion on the, on the system. divide off to turn evolve. you might have to connect a cable. you might have to change that, i know clean the surface if it's too much by a volume,

etc. so lots and lots of his cases. for now, the robot is still connected to land by cable. later, it will be able to operate fully autonomously in the sea or if necessary, be controlled by a drone pilot. the system will work for inspection of anything that you can find under. busy water for pipelines for c bed and for, for shipwrecks, anything that you would like to explore? anything that you would like to 3 d model test is still being conducted in the lab for now. but last spring, the underwater drone had its 1st field deployment. at an offshore wind farm of the northeast of england, it successfully recorded videos that allowed researches to assess the exterior condition of foundations from tables. we end up are showing the media for more than 5 years now. giraffes are all the red list of fishes threatened with

extinction. once common across the continent, there are less than $100000.00 of them less war. what a shame! but there is hope. we went to the country in a very soft west of africa, where santas from an inch or have been studying the rough population very closely. and they now see there are reasons to be cautiously optimistic. most people are familiar with giraffes, but far less is known about them than many realize what certain is that they are the world's tallest land, animals which enables them to reach lees high on trees in the african savannah. what's less anon, is that you rubs are incredibly fast in short, best they can run up to 60 kilometers in our beyond that they are still many unanswered questions about them. what are the different species? how many giraffes currently leave in the wild in namibia biology?

lackland mac features enjoyed the michelle more one to learn more, the photograph every year of the sea, so they can be identified later at a female, right? 8573 of so visual studies lake. these have concluded that they are currently only $117000.00 euros in africa. by comparison, we are nearly 4 times as many elephants. if you think about sammy locker and african elephant, there are no, you know, i ran at 400000 mark, i believe individual. so if you think that compared to $170000.00 individuals and it's pretty incredible for such a, a large, a browser spaces that is kind of one of the, the most iconic spaces in africa. really. there's been very little work done on them. i suppose the priority in the past has been some of the more sexier species like elephant and lion and draft of sort of gone under the radar. and i think because they are quite wide spread throughout africa, you feel like you see them everywhere. but that is deceptive. climate change in

humans clearing land for settlements in agriculture has led to a substantial loss of happy 10th 40 wraps in the past that he is the population of these graceful animals. his sank by about a 3rd waste in weavers also threatens their drinking water. when tories numbers dropped you to the coffee pandemic? these guys started picking up the trash instead, which will benefit the drug in the long tim, protecting these animals has a long history in the media. if i can tell you more little bit about the bushman, the they were not killing drop it or even during their handing activities, they were not targeted to ross because they thought it was the tallest anymore. and they realized it killing a giraffe. you are cutting communication between yourself and that assistance. this was once considered a 2nd sport, 3000 year old cave drawings prove how important europe swear to the people leaving

here. they were regarded as bring us off life. we believe in the year of that. the mag extra extent they are neg, touch the clout and make it dream. so good. rain is a good. i happy for them. wild you wraps in western and central africa as, til under threat their numbers in namibia, in its neighboring countries, are actually increasing. rising from 30000 to almost 50000, that's largely because they are better protected here in national parks. this is done vision game reserve located near the medias. capitals in dog. today, kids from the children's home are hoping to get the fest glimpse of a real giraffe a little a drug skull like this one is very heavy. the animal sometimes used the born in projections,

cold or seconds in combat with other animals was like all standing next to a lead bond gives the kids an interesting sense of proportion are you are on my leg drives. i love the colors and i like it looked all like i am dull, very strong. so draft kicks are very powerful. that's how they defend themselves from pre did us. for example, lion, for the can kick elaine, the children won't have an easy time sporting the animals to day g raft. i shy. this turtle on the other hand, wasn't too hard to catch. you don't put your fingers next to the mouth. it's hoped that if children lynn about the animals in the region, there will be more likely to fight to protect them in the future and doesn't get a group of kids. and when they see animals, for example, at you, i can tell you is an elephant or they see, oh, i'd be standard, tell you it's a horse. and that's surprising because we foaming the wildlife in the country.

that's why we think that is a need in the moment, litigation, and that this program is actually making a change in difficult life. giraffes prefer leaves from bush's in trees or long river courses. akasha trees are among their favorites. biology is like landmark feature. see that as a result, they don't compete with lifestyle for food making conflicts with farmers really. so far, the scientists have counted 450 giraffes here in northern namibia, and they are doing all they can to make sure these elegant creatures survive. wall, what beautiful creatures and what an amazing planet we have. certainly one was protected. well, i hope you enjoyed the show as much as i did. sadly, it's once again time to say good bye. from ogen state nigeria. see you next week. if you wanted to tell us your own ideas or simply find out more to send us an

e mail or full arson, all our social media platforms there, you'll find plenty of more stories on information. so it is a good buy for me here in comply, you gander. do have yourself a wonderful week. i ah, a, a, a, with

your departure into the unknown. today. this means flying to a foreign planet. in the 16th century, it meant being a captain and setting sail to discover a route and adventure full of hardships,

dangers and death magellan journey around the world. in 15 minutes on d. w. a. i are they for real? what sounds like a joke at birth? i can medium started up, wants to make reality soon. find out how they came up with this idea, how it works, and how it will help the environment in made in germany. in 90 minutes on d w. oh. i thought it's

a journey across the entire continent with a variety of cars. so what this? so the focus, the movers shake is visionaries and made it when bonding the meaning of modern africa. this is an egg and d, w. mm hm. when you work as an architect, you go all in or not at all. women in architecture. why are they so invisible to the larger public? we decided to ask them. this is, what is the poetry, the secret of a house and i'm calling about their motivations. the real goal of architecture is to create habitat for human about their struggles and dreams. responsibility is huge. they haven't so much to lose. shattering the glass ceiling

women in architecture. does this have to be really, really good? start september 30th on d, w. ah . the w. news live from berlin. the winston clear watch dog called for a safe sooner on ukraine's upper region. nuclear plant is by the head of the international atomic energy agency addresses the security council. seeing the ongoing shelling poses a constant threat to nuclear safety.
