lifestyles and mediterranean, he's ready to lead journey this week on d. w. ah, the thunder bangs, man gray forest in the far south of bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable regions in the world to climate change. many residents live literally at the water's edge. when sea levels rise in a tropical storm, the dike saw breached and waves rush inland. locals do their best to reinforce the defends this, but it's a thankless never ending task. mm . every year in bangladesh,

an average of 700000 people are displaced by natural disasters. due to globe warming, bangladesh is at risk of losing more than 10 percent of its territory to rising sea levels. by 2053 of asians largest rivers drain into asunder bands delta. this entire region in the south of the country is so low. lying that it could become completely submerged. it's projected to that by 2015, 26 minion. bang, the dashing is will be displaced by tidal surges and rising sea levels. but the interior of the country is also at risk. increasingly, frequent storms, compounded by violent monsoons cause gigantic floods that even impact the 21000000 inhabitants of the capitol. darker from the north to the

south of the country, rivers, repeatedly swell, and burst their banks. will allow de banu although signaled i bought it from melissa water rosen rose. it was like a torrent flowing through the house. the whole house got lost. come though i used for like a certain it's resulted in millions of climate refugees flocking to the capital in search of whatever work they can find. and i, and 2 to 3 euros a day. that's it. some find work in clothing, factories, bangladesh as being called the world's sewing factory. for 1000000 workers here produce jeans, t shirts and shoes worn by people across the western world. but the manufacture of these cheap clothes comes at a price for the environment every day. tons of toxic waste water i dumped into the natural surroundings in the long run, the noise was this gun. so,

despite constituting a public health hazard, the industry is thriving and has been a major and for economic growth in bangladesh. a new middle and upper class has a matched swimming pool is one of the most beautiful anywhere and go shot it on. and many of them keen to invest in real estate if the price is high package, i don't know. the country is even on course to be removed from the group of least developed countries by 2024. and thanks to dedicated entrepreneurs, the 1st model companies are now already emerging, with every wonderful people working and green factories will not want to lead them because of the sound working conditions. even ship breaking yards, notorious environmental pollutants are now going green. everything. all, all the wizard sent for the governor, bangladesh. he is confronted with

a myriad of problems. but there are also stories that inspire home our investigation into the consequences of global warming and bangladesh begins in dhaka year after year between 530-0000 people who have lost everything in the wake of natural disasters migrate to the capital in search of work they arrived daily by the dozens at the port or the train station. to day deka is one of the most congested and densely populated cities on the planet. most climate refugees are housed in makeshift hotels located in the many slums of the mega sitting. all of them had to leave their homes with

a minimum of belongings except one. yeah. love to go, but i left with this little bag. just a few clothes and a warm blanket. if it's all that i have, please, there was a will and worked among. cabana lea is 65 years old and arrived a few weeks ago. this is his new home one room measuring about 40 square meters. chad with 35 other people. his dramatic story reflects the experiences of many hear me, but i've seen my house collapse a dozen times, whatever, all due to erosion each time, then washed away by the river love. and each time i had to gather up some earth and straw to rebuild it. and what about that? what luckily i called been i li, pays one your a 20 a day for food and lodging. i look at the conditions. we're living in here,

30 to 40 people sleeping in the same room. we lie on top of each other and it's full of bed bugs. what, what, what can we do? we have to make a living visible door. he found work writing a cycle ritual, which he rents for one euro, 20 per dang, photos, and one. by the way, there is a rich off of the lady. the climate refugee works over 12 hours a day for 3 months straight before returning to his family. oh wow, wow. how does that, how i love, i just earn 10 cents 10 cents for a ride from door reaper to the other end of the market. i love out of what i see. what is the mother was asked to pay for his accommodation and the ritual. he's left with between 2 and 5 euros. his spindle income from about 30 rights a day quoted was if you ask someone you look up, it's an incredibly demanding job. carting people around like this is exhausting.

you need a lot of energy. what is the word? every 3 or 4 days, hold on a knee, sends the little money he manages to save up to his wife and his $2.00 sons. you are still studying the rows of the what the little do i said to them boys keep studying no matter how hard things are as long as i live, i'll provide for your studies. but finish your education, please press one now. well, global possible i don't want, it makes me sad that i can finance their education as much as i'd like to. they're working on the very difficult conditions. i send them everything i can is to hold it over. there are now believe to be $6000000.00 climate refugees like colbin alley in

bangladesh. the rickshaw driver is from curry graham. another region that's been hit hard by flooding. curry graham is located far away from the sea in the north of the country. but here the devastation comes from china rivers like the bro, my full tra and the ganges or patman as it's known in bangladesh. the melting of himalayan ice has caused the rivers to overflow and asked their volume and velocity increases. the erosion of their banks has accelerated to alarming levels. every year, thousands of houses are destroyed, and entire appendages disappear under the water. the island of carrier in the brown,

my poor child was hit taunt recently despite the sandbags deployed to protect it. the last name is yvonne la zillow. a one of the flood was 2 months ago. the water rose really high and the currents carried everything away. badge were put in place to protect us, but they didn't hold. and all the houses disappeared in one day that about english . oh, yes. most of the stores and businesses still standing on now closed and not much is left of the school that used to be attended by up to $900.00 students. no one really escal dar. this will die. you're not going wrong to long will like around 11, the buildings formed a semi circle. there was a fence and the entrance gate was over. they're gonna get lucky. the buildings formed a you shape with trees planted round it you the school yard was over there with the classrooms positioned around it to yourself. it's not a washer garcia of the 14 classrooms. only 2 are still in use. the succession

of disasters has destroyed schools and businesses and also farmland, causing the poverty rate to saw families finding it increasingly difficult to feed and raise their children due to the financial burden. this has led to girls being married off at a very young age, while their husbands are even paid for taking them between 501000 euros. an existing social is to you, exacerbated by global warming, devils, fish, and made a number of the pupils in this class of 9th graders are already married. jasmine has just turned 15, not a bit that version that was either the school phase and my parents low income. you go death. yeah. go. yeah, that's what i found a husband for me,

but he never did you know him? no he came to see me unexpectedly and we got married on the same day at the law. her husband is a young farmer also from the island just mean didn't want to get married, but wasn't given a choice yet the don't have that i was married. so young, of course i'm sad, but what's the use of being sad because nothing i can do and this a good the most of these young women will soon have to leave school if their husband can't afford to pay for their education . i was there, i'd like to be a teacher, but my in laws might not want me to study version of our the b officially child marriage is like hers are prohibited. so they take place in secret

nonetheless, one family who has just married off their daughter, agreed to meet us. sabina is 13 years old and is in 6th grade. who is that? our melinda, her husband is 21, didn't have a choice. i actually wanted to study, grow up and start working before getting married in need of a vehicle. a love was you born were little vertical. you run. if she'd been older it would have been difficult to find her husband. so we were happy to her, found a good man for her. we wouldn't have done it otherwise. if we weren't poor, we could pray for our daughter's education. and she'd be able to find a good job, but was simply to pull over. sabrina's husband worked some distance away from the island. he's agreed to let her stay with her parents for now, and has promised to pay for her schooling. the teenagers mother doesn't work and

her father, a farmer, has lost his field. although another's opposite, honestly, it does occur the floods destroyed everything and drove up the price of rice for sure, and used to call 7 euros. now it's double that the water is destroyed, our rice field is going to be in his father has realised that his daughter is unhappy and says he regrets his decision. although ha, and of that up, by the level that my daughter is still young at 13 years old, at 11 or 12, it's even worse. fertile sure is not good. although having some girls are apparently married at the age of 9 research in bangladesh has shown that mothers under the age of 14 are 5 times like he had to die during childbirth. and those in the early twenties. these planned a stein and a legal child marriages are not registered or recognized anywhere. this was

confirmed to us by the office of muslim marriages. oh, i didn't know if i'm wrong. i did not register, child marriages. these marriages are organized secretly in the villages. we have no control over in moms who performed them. we work in the office. so i don't want to comment on this issue is i know we said jamiracle on both of them. according to unicef, $1.00 and $2.00 women in bangladesh, al married before reaching their 18th birthday, the legal minimum age, half of them will be under the age of 15. while compounding is used that threaten the future of these young girls, the destructive care of water also poses a different and deadly danger to children. more than $14000.00 children drown in bangladesh, every year already won. due

to drowning is one of the leading causes of death among children in the country. won't bug with high or now we moved the right. i'm like this. why we're, we're tommy bigger dialogue. low hack has been working as a swimming instructor for 5 years. to look, that was great big chair, please works for an, an geo that uses bamboo came to construct improvised pools in ponies. they. so that's enough. he yeah i, he made it, i think he's learning 5 your way a round of applause. so hack is also worried about the dangerously high water levels. i believe when i read about tier garner it's rising all the time. i, there's always water in the lower line regions in the go to people that are really suffering. want to go on in the children and not saying i'm the child, the young about them. they bought them love it in there, and want to need them to what a situation is now. very complicated. need they wanted mm

mm. chaplain and up do live close to the pond where the swimming lessons are held. a few months ago that only daughter died from drowning. well, the low they fell in over there with the water high since are a one go study little ah, i ye shall, was 5 years old. ah, her father had given her a little money to buy candy with her 7 year old cousin. he also died children and they went to the store to buy some suites. and when she came back, they shared them before going off to play. had been at hand when they think i was reading the koran. when they were done eating, they went outside and i continued reading. i heard a noise close the koran and ran over. that's when i saw my child. oh i ye shall, is buried

a few steps away from the pond. abdul visits her grave regularly. it's right there boys in the rear, i'm seen the bone i will above my level, think of her a lot will think of her as long as we live. she was our beloved daughter and a very friendly child. bob michael dangler. he gave her a lot of affection and love maddox. how shall i brochure? ha ha, been to last last long. saline a, in a short space of time bangladesh has become the most polluted country in the world . the historic center of deca has become an open and dumping ground where garbage is sometimes dumped directly into the rivers. in ocoee roy is me investigative journalist,

specializing in environmental issues. i talked with very old people and there's a base forget tricia. there's today. so. but now it is, if a big bobby, i think you in big in all ladies sick, within half an hour in penalties, eyes, fashion, consumers around the world are also responsible for this pollution. the boy from europe, people from other developed countries like america and i'll, if we're from not near the allies or not. but i would say they're also gone through been through already revolution because in all the all or is one dip brought and new to the to blows and nothing a thief. so if we want to blow them that there, so you're boiler, bring our he worked with 5000 factories, generating 30000000000 euros in annual revenue. bangladesh is the world's 2nd

largest clothing manufacturer just behind china this afternoon. pinokie heads out to the suburbs of decor. he's heard about a new environmental scandal linked to the nether industry. the dallas wary river is in danger. and data is already that your let it all it all the reverse of did or did it by legally did he knock, he hoped his investigation will help save the rev. ah, in recent years, 185 countries have set up shop along its banks. 80 percent of the hides produced here are exported and supply the ready to wear footwear and leather goods industries world wide. a waste water plant has been built here but has insufficient capacity and reportedly empties its tanks into the dallas warry, including untreated sewage. arriving at the scene, pinokie has immediate company. as the security guard trails him in the lead,

he received a pass to be correct. this pipe leads directly from the waste water treatment plant is supposed to retrieve it, but it is after that, i get my gun safe in my b i that this order is not too big. this is pure block water and it is a stinky. so it is polluting that he was only a group of officials from the plan to pierre and confront. the journalist ordered both of them to the clinical book and got him to be the person you wasn't. the one working with the manager tries to convince pinokie that these discharges are unexceptional to almost every year. we do a purification procedure. that's what's going on right now. so it's only once

a year that you don't like visible for that, but it's all yes. the journalist is not convinced i don't think there's through i gun see the color of the water like an esmerelda walker and i think it is full of it. according to his research, the affluent treatment plant has numerous flaws. problem is sometime. dust is from here. they produce a more liquid list than the capacity. so mid in that time, this same value, it doesn't work. so some of the worst, it has to go directly to that. even another of penalties discoveries is that the plant cannot process certain highly dangerous, heavy metals such as chromium which makes leather more terror resistance during production. this would be not design door in all my trick chromium. so

it block williams comes out. it goes through that eva and it goes through the open enrollment. then the crumb yum will be in the fish. then the blonde's high in the long run for the seminar visitors. but in the long run, in oil for the skins when absorbed or inhaled chromium can cause cancer, they were spirit retract the nasal cavity, the kidneys, and the bladder. after several requests, a tannery finally agreed to open its doors to us. it's so stinky. and i got the got these hines been here for a long time, or if they just arrived. this is our latest delivery inside. we noticed that the workers are not wearing any protective gear.

the war vet it's football is forced to elizabeth warfield. we had a hand without any rules, so there, so you know, and neither visited with highly proxy. can we go? so this is hung for what the hell. obviously the manager, if the tannery tries to play down on the health hasn't, i think going to do the chemicals i use here. not dangerous, only to a small extent, because if i know my than i can't say we use non guaranteed, but it's really not much of the problem. so we don't wear masks or protective clothing to represent minors. another claim the journalist isn't buying. maybe there's thought they were told that this guy goes, i'm not harmful for that sort of that he believed. but i don't think so. and

there are further surprises in store as pinokie roy leaves the tannery tractors, loaded with leather scraps, catch his attention. there was a dam, bringing piazza. i'm going to do 200 meters further on the report to witnesses. a frightening spectacle. i have already a ton of leather waist saturated in toxic chemicals being burned in me. open just a few meters from the river. by it a country dispose of the summer l. lelona. nevada has no other place in reading. how long have you been doing this? 2 months? miss ellen, would he do? you know? because they're not supposed to dam

b. t r in this list. so it was basically a low land sort of bond. so they have filled up that bond already. so now they're dumping it yet. so i'm worried that what will happen after 6 months or after 3 months. so maybe this fed dumping it down via the air full of toxic fumes is practically unreasonable already. i'm feeling some headache. you say what about the ecological consequences for the river? ah, we've learned that fish are in scarce supply around the tenderest to confirm this. we go to a fishing village located down stream from the factories. all the men here are fishermen. but their nets has been dry for months.

i can't fish any more, let the tannery so pouring toxic chemicals into the river. you can't catch anything any more, right? so my nets are hung up in storage at home. if you have been doe and his wife pray every day for an improvement in their fortunes, oh, the shade, why would it glory to you? my lord? when will you deliver us from our suffering and pain them roughly not a cost to take it. the lord deliver us from our sorrows. was another day finding out some water in the river is not clean. how can my husband work if he doesn't earn any money? how can he close us and keep his children fed that he couldn't come before the 10 or he's were built gab? indo earned 10 to 20 euros the day. these days, or jobs in the fields barely bring in 5, your rows of the 100 families who used to live here. only 15

remain. meanwhile, nether is the countries 2nd largest industry in terms of exports worth close to 1000000000 euros in revenue a year. leather and clothing. factories like these employ more than 4000000 people nationwide for a number of years now they've been driving bangladesh is extraordinary. annual growth rate of over 7 percent. the country is rapidly developing, but the environment is rarely a priority. bangladesh meets ropes to build them. an astonishing but environmentally hazardous practice has emerged in florida is not in a far come here and we can play a lot of it. oh, to melt the tar workers, burn tons of fabric scraps. got

rid of them all day. make sure you mix it properly. the low la la got to go. go lab is the site manager. oh, the limited roads into the fire. oh. what a la george. these are leftovers entitled. government or a method that is environmentally harmful, but widely used. oh, what does, there are lots of roads like this being built as was no shortage of work. i got going across the country lucas, i paid 60 euros a month by the government for this physically demanding work amidst the toxic fumes . many have health problems. last year, when i'm break up after work,

we have to eat bananas to relieve the pain. when you call your spit his black. if a doctor cut us in half, he'd find only black inside no will up every item of clothing made him bangladesh indirectly contributes to the construction of roads. the country's textile mills produce approximately $500000.00 tons of waste per year. more than half of which is not recyclable. big international brands, such as gap, zarbara and bash go up behind these pap, right scraps. but there are signs of a bright future in the bangladesh textile industry. a growing number of companies are going green. after weeks of negotiation, one such firm opens its doors to us. it's a 2 hour drive from data and employ $7300.00 people.

the industry has been wary of journalists since the 2013 ran up plaza disaster when a dilapidated 8 story building housing, several government workshops collapsed. 1135 people were killed. most of them seamstresses. the mill, we visit is a model factory which suggests that part of the country has changed since the shock of runa plaza. they were, as you live, one of the directors of the factory, the owners, the bi toe, p group for we have especially trained officer on each floor in charge of fire safety. there's also a 1st aid team ready for deployment. in the case of

a major incident with them to go over the group produces clothing for de kathlyn pro mod and h an m. this factory has been awarded the coveted platinum status by the united states green building council. it's one of the greenest clothing companies in the world. the fact he washes over 60000 garments a day. so saving water was a big priority. sir, as you will, is accompanied by macbook, who's responsible for sustainability. minimize the water played, reduce these or the mission. and he doing sams around $70.00 of a water bottle gun was also to save water and reduce chemical use. the artificial, where if the genes is now performed by lisa outside,

the waste water is all re processed. this water is bomb, our elect. jana, this is actually the men are always the one i'm here i deal in warner. we're finally serving in the denver. while most of the recycled water is discharged into the nearby sewer. 10 percent is re used in the immediate vicinity. says is that some of this water flows into the tanks and we used to irrigate our trees and also for flushing toilets by letter. what the, what i need to write a ye foot. mm. bangladesh is now home to $145.00 green fat trees, $44.00 of which have achieved platinum status. another notorious polluter is also moving in the right direction. bangladesh is the

world leader in ship recycling. one, in 2 of all the worlds decommission ships and its life on the vast sheets are gone . beach here they are, dismantled by 40 different shipyards, most of them taking no regard for either the environment or working conditions to day. it's almost impossible for journalists to visit any of these shipyards. the association of shipyard owners is shoot an unambiguous search kinnon, or there's a risk of work site safety being jeopardized by an outsider, taking surreptitious photos with their cell phone ah, under these circumstances, shipyard managements are asked to ensure that outside was cannot enter the site. and liaison,

the no co chairman of the independent workers party secured access for us by claiming we with foreign investors. ah, officially, we hit to see if there's a possibility of modernizing the site. yeah, well how are you doing? where's the boss. busy regard, think says the manager of the shipyard, what they'd been trying to hide from outside as is the complete lack of environmental protection, measures and safety precautions for the workers at this site, oil seats directly into the ground. while asbestos found in large quantities on older ships is handled in a totally irresponsible manner of and bust postcolonial. what do you do with us? best us a good. we sell part of it. buried the rest there are

inspections by the environmental authorities. so we very discreetly a practice that is illegal. although the sale of asbestos is not banned in bangladesh, asbestos waste has to be treated. and the workers here are wearing almost new protective clothing people and going to be somebody lose the him somewhere to lose the from with the leg or somebody's died every year. about 20 workers die and hundreds are injured on these dirty, dismantling sites, as they called. it's only those who have nothing left to lose who agree to testify? if healthy work a speak up, they risk losing their jobs. along a yoga, the owners have built up a network of police, local representatives and other influential people that are,

are and looked on. so if a worker is to talk, they'll face immediate reprisals or a destroying the environment, just no big deal. covering up accident is routine for them all by them on a recorded vote. on factual alarm, the politician who's been accompanying us takes us to meet a worker before his accident that was worked for 30 years on various construction sites on the thumb or a man. i fell off a ladder at work on my foot got caught in a wrong, and i broke my leg today. a bunger, he still has metal plates and screwed loose in his no one leg. i didn't the company provide you with protective clothing like images with these when i do the home i and i wanna know there was no such thing available. when the inspector from the

environmental department came by, they gave us a few things like a helmet and sometimes goggles. so the hand, but that was only for half an hour either on the la that when i thought about him on the other one by the hello or what has received no assistance since the accident to support the family. his son also started working at a ship breaking yard recently but not all hope is lost for the workers. after weeks of negotiations, the only certifiably clean shipyard agreed to open its doors to us. inside, we discovered another world. bob, safety is paramount. you need to be alert at all times and to wear a helmet and goggles. i keep in mind that danger doesn't strike every day, but when it does, there is no warning in one accident can mean a lifetime of misery. p h, p shipyard, safety, environmental protection,

and work a well being. i taken very seriously mangled trees there will give mangle 4 times a year. so all my people who are here, we'll get mangle 4 times a year as a bit and he jenny, them, the one do he rule is beyond manager. and also the son of fiona, a businessman, who invested $10000000.00 to turn the site into a showcase ship breaking yard. even if it wasn't always plain sailing. love of the people used to work without her protective dumb woods. so they used to just come, oh, wedding flip flops. so when we started giving them the board, they said it's very hot. we don't want to. edwards, we are very happy with the flip flops. so we had to train them. we had to force them head slowly, obadiah. they understood the importance of wedding protected the clippers in the hub in the site is built on

a huge impermeable concrete slab. the hazardous materials collected are carefully listed on a board accessible to all with the name of a respective specialist be contacted should a problem arise? what kind of hazardous waste was generated? last bug saw where the glass wall as burst doors, brain tubes, bar medical ways to all die well was will be what is written here at p h. p. workers earn between 30 and 40 percent more than elsewhere. these modern construction sites and factories with higher wages and better conditions are also involved in the emergence of a new middle class in the country. in the new up and coming neighborhoods in the north of decor. hi n stores and buildings with modern amenities are constantly springing up.

ah, solid is the law, is it? where is the apartment this way please wash? hussein is a real estate agent. is it there? hello, what a warranty? here you have a pool and on this side the reception high of for today he'll be showing his client, a lawyer, married to a fighter pilot, one of the nicest departments in his portfolio. a been a, you have the living room and the dining family in there. you have the kitchen. the apartment has over 300 square meters of space and has several balconies. wow. i can see the sky and the view. it makes it happen. the client seems interested and asks about the price price. how much does the cost?

a significant section of the population still live below the poverty line. and according to the world bank, if drastic action is not taken soon, and temperatures continue to rise by 2050 bangladesh will have more than 20000000 climate refugees. mm . with ah, searching for solutions the energy crisis. can we can gas rescue euro much energy can heat actually said in my that

home and generally cuts transportation costs? don't you band is banking on a ton of missed the train made in germany in 30 minutes on d. w. with dynamite and the pillar of state and society, a symbol of arbitrary rule in the struggle for justice taxes. in many ways i think taxation is one of the most extreme actions by a government. but it's also the definition of government because without no government, the right to levy taxes and the obligation to pay them both inherent in the sovereignty of the nation states and their citizens. but what happens when the

power of taxation is undermined? attack as on top of the tax on top of the tax, that's the straw that broke the camel's back. i've been running forever. thinking to myself here, when's it all going to come crashing down you pay won't pay. taxation and politics starts october 21st on d, w. ah, this is day w. news, and these are our top stories. ukraine's president salenti has urged a g 7 lady in the virtual summit to provide his country with more a defense systems that are also asked them to establish an international.
