roofless corporations, corrupt government agencies and criminal cartels. targeted environmentalists in danger starts october 29th 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 dikes are breached and waves rush inland. locals do their best to reinforce the defenses, but it's a thankless never ending task. mm hm.

every year in bangladesh, an average of 700000 people are displaced by natural disasters. due to global warming, bangladesh is at risk of losing more than 10 percent of its territory to rising sea levels by $2153.00 of asia's largest rivers drain into the thunder 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, 26000000 bangladesh in his 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, caused gigantic floods that even impact the 21000000 inhabitants of the capitol, darker from the north to the south,

if the country rivers repeatedly swell and burst their banks. la la de banu though signalled, i bought it a mulatto water rosen rose. it was like a torrent flowing through the house. the whole house got lost gone though i used to 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 has been called the world's sewing factory. for 1000000 workers here produced genes, 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. i suppose it's gone so despite constituting

a public health hazard, the industry is thriving and has been a major engine 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. many of them keen to invest in real estate, but if the price is high of hockey, 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 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 that fall all the way to send for the vector bangladesh. she 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 with a minimum of belongings. is that one?

yeah. love to go, but i left with this little bag. just a few, close that window and a warm blanket. if it's all that i have, yes, there was some will and worked among cool banner lee 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 was ever 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 was luckily i called been i li, pays one your a 20 a day for food and lodging. i will 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 the, what, what can we do that? we have to make a living. he found what writing a cycle ritual, which he rents for when you're at 20 per dang. i would love with 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 to how i love i just earn 10 cents 10 cents for a ride from door reaper to the other end of the market. oh god robot, what i see, what it was about a month after paying 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 carting people around like this is exhausting. you

need a lot of energy. what is the word? every 3 or 4 days cope and ne, sends the little money he manages to save up to his wife and his $2.00 sons, who are still studying it. there was, there was a 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 just watch now. well, local 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 drop it over there are now believe to be 6000000 climate refugees. like whoa,

been alley in bangladesh. the ritual 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 brown my portrait in the ganges or patman as it's known in bangladesh. the melting of himalayan ice has caused the rivers to overflow and asked to have volume and velocity increases. the erosion of their banks has accelerated to alarming levels. every year, thousands of houses are destroyed and in tie up and just disappear under the water . the island of kerio in the brown,

my poor child was hit taunt recently despite the sandbags deployed to protect it. the law says it of allah zillow able of the flood was 2 months ago. the water rose really high and the currents carried everything away. bags were put in place to protect us, but they didn't hold. and all the houses disappeared in one day with it 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. escal dar. this will die iraq on what on zillow will like around 11. the buildings formed a semi circle. there was a fence at the entrance gate was over. they're gonna get lucky. the buildings formed a u shape with trees planted round it you the school yard was over there with the classrooms positioned around in islam thought it was a garcia of the 14 classrooms. only 2, a 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, demos, fish, and mid a number of the pupils in this class of 9th graders are already married. jasmine has just turned 15, not a bit that version of course either the school phase and my parents low income. you go there you go. yeah, that's where they found

a husband for me. but if you ever did you know him? no he came to see me unexpectedly and we got married on the same day at thus gave you a law. her husband is a young farmer also from the island. jasmine didn't want to get married, but wasn't given a choice yet that they won'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 it will deliver most of these young women will soon have to leave school. if their husband can't afford to pay for their education. i would say i'd like to be a teacher, but my in laws might not want me to study version an hour at the bay. 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. most of our melinda, my husband is 20. we 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 where she bought or little bit of volume. 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 pay 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 hope was almost a little bit ago, the floods destroyed everything and drove up the price of rice and used to call 7 euros. now it's double that the water is destroyed. our rice vio. sabrina's father has realised that his daughter is unhappy and says he regrets his decision. uh huh . well the levels of my daughter is still young, 13 years old. at 11 or 12, it's even worse for sure. it's 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 than those in the early twenties. these plan to stein under legal child marriages are not registered or recognized anywhere. this was confirmed to us by

the office of muslim marriages. oh, i didn't roll again. i do not register, child marriages. these marriages are organized secretly in the villages. we have no control over a mom to perform them. we work in the office. so i don't want to comment on this issue. is the lady said, yeah, i'm not gonna both of them about him. according to unicef, $1.00 and $2.00 women in bangladesh are married before reaching that 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. boy to day 123. crowning is one of the leading causes of death among

children in the country romp occupy. well now we moved to right on like this, what we're, what i'm a bigger dialogue. blue hack has been working as a swimming instructor for 5 years to look. that was great, a big chair please. works for angio that uses bamboo came to construct improvised pools in ponds. they, so that's enough. he did i, he made it. i think he's learning foss, either 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 on record. there's always water in the lower line regions and they go to people there are really suffering. want to go on in the children and not saying on the child, the young about them. they bought them love it in there and one and he didn't feel the situation is now very complicated. need they wanted mm mm.

chaplain and up do live close to the pound, 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 what i go to little. ah, i ye shall, was 5 years old. ah, her father had given her a little money to buy candy with his 7 year old cousin. he also died children and they went to the store to buy some sweets 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 lies 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 battler, he gave her amount of affection and love made us. how shall i brochure were hon a b to last, last, lose saline in a quantity. oh, in a short space of time, bangladesh has become the most polluted country in the world. the historic centre of tucker has become an open and dumping ground where garbage is sometimes dumped directly into the rivers. in ocoee, roy is an investigative journalist,

specializing in environmental is today. i thought was very old people and there's a base forget trisha bears to day. so. but now it is. if a big bobby, i think you in big in all ladies sick with in half an hour in penalties, eyes, fashion, consumers around the world are also responsible for this pollution. the boy from iraq, people from other developed countries like america and i'll hibler 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. it's deep. so if we want to blow them that there, so you're boiler, being 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 deca. he's heard about a new environmental scandal linked to the nether industry. the dallas worry river is in danger. and data is already the or lydia toilet. although the worst that did or did about legally did pinokie hopes his investigation will help save the re 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 leaps directly from the waste water treatment plant is almost retreated, but it is. what is it? i get my gun safe in my b r i is that this order is not too big. this is pure block water and it is a stinky. so it is polluting that he was not only a group of officials from the plan to peer and confront the journalist with both of them, to the clinic and, and got him to be the person. the one 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 dump it like this as well. so that what is yes,

the journalist is not convinced i don't think there's through i gun see the color of the war by like an esmerelda walker and i think it is full of it. according to his research, the effluent treatment plant has numerous flaws. problem is sometimes 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, sol, solved the worst. it has to go directly to that, even another of pinocchio discoveries is that the plant cannot process certain highly dangerous heavy metals such as chromium which makes leather more tear resistance during production. this would be not design door in electric chromium.

so it buck williams comes that it goes through that eva and it goes through the open enrollment. then the chromium will be in the fish. then the blonde's in the long run for the seminar visitors, but in the long run in oil for this cancer. 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. is so stinky. laquanda got these hides 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 than we thought. so this is the home for what the hell. obviously the manager, if the tannery tries to play down the health hazard, i think going to do the chemicals i use here, not dangerous moroni to a small extent, because if i know my son, i can't say we use non, isn't it? but it's really not much of the problem, so we don't wear masks or protective clothing or minors. another claim, the journalist isn't buying. maybe there's thought they were told that this goes, i'm not harmful, but they're 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. they're better than bring it here. so i'm going to do 200 meters further on the report. a witnesses, a frightening spectacle. i have all ready to go out of a ton of leather waist saturated in toxic chemicals being burned in me open just a few meters from the river. by a day, sir, count you dispose of the summer. elena. motto has no other place in reading. how long have you been doing this? has been 2 months miss ellen, would he be wrong? because then that sub will still dumpy, t r in this list. so it was a, basically

a low land up 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 the at 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 10th reason to confirm this . we go to a fishing village located down stream from the factories for the men. here are fishermen. but their nets has been dry for months.

i can't fish any more than 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 dang ye for an improvement in their fortunes. good shape. why would it glory to you? my lord? when will you deliver us from our suffering and pain them to go to ripley? not a cost to take it. the lord deliver us from our sorrows. was another day finding out some water. the river is not clean. how can my husband work? if he doesn't earn any money, how can he clothe else and keep his children fed that he couldn't before the 10 aires were built gab indo earned 10 to 20 euros the day. ready these days ot jobs in the fields barely bring in 5 your rows of the 100 families who used to live here

only 15 remain. meanwhile, mother is the country, 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 rooms to build them. an astonishing but environmentally hazardous practice has emerged over the letter is not in a fall. come hear me kim. i love it. oh, to melt the tar workers, burn tons of fabric scraps. got

really all day. make sure you mix it properly. a lot more. log out to them. go lab is the site manager. oh, the limited roads into the far oh ella, georgia. these are leftovers and i was the lord. i'm with 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, a work order all across the country. workers are 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, gus, 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 on the blackened side, i 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, zaragoza, 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 docker and employ $7300.00 people.

in the industry has been wary of journalists since the 2013 ran up plaza disaster when a dilapidated 8 story building housing, several government workshops collapse, 1135 people were killed. most of them seamstresses, the mill. we visit some models factory, which suggests that part of the country has changed since the shock of round plaza . the regime is one of the directors of the factory, the owners, the by toe, p great. south florida. if 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 ticket. the guy with the group produces clothing for decathlon pro mod and h and m. this factory has been awarded the coveted platinum status by the united states queen building council. it's one of the greenest clothing companies in the world. the factory washing is 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 that whatever we introduce this or the mission and a doing, sam sounded 70 does of a water. but again, you government also to save water and reduce chemical use. the artificial, where of the genes this now performed by lisa outside the waste

water is all we processed. this water is bomb. our a look channel. this is actually the men are always the one i'm here, i deal in warner yet. finally you study them. while most of the recycled water is discharged into the nearby sewer, 10 percent is re used in the immediate vicinity. says these are some of this water flows into the tanks and we used to irrigate our trees and also for flushing toilets. i linda watson with bangladesh. she's now home to $145.00 green factories, $44.00 of which have achieved platinum status. another notorious polluter is also moving in the right direction. bangladesh is

the world leader in shit, recycling $1.00 and $2.00 of one of the world's decommission ships. and was it fly from the vast cheater 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. kinna, blue is 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 or liaison, the local chairman of the independent workers party secured access for us by

claiming we will 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? hang on then says the manager of the shipyard, what they've 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 seeps directly into the ground while asbestos found in large quantities on older ships is handled in a totally irresponsible manner. as best postcolonial. what do you do with us? best us a little more because you know, the other thing 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 guide every year about 20 workers die and hundreds are injured on these duty 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 with that, the owners have built up a network of police, local representatives and other influential people that are, are,

and looked on as they were. and then if a walker is to talk, they'll face immediate reprisals or a destroying the environment is no big deal. covering up accident is routine for them all by them on a recorded vote on actual alarm. the politician who's been accompanying us takes us to meet the worker before his accident is our white 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 the wrong and i broke my leg a bit longer. he still has metal plates and screw this in his no one lank didn't the company provide you with protective clothing? lagrange is, what did i do? william lionel? no, no. there was no such thing of it. when the inspector from the environmental department

came by, they gave us a few things like a helmet and sometimes goggles. so the head, but that was only for half an hour on the la that when i thought about one of the 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, well, bah, safety is paramount. you need to be alert at all times and to wear a helmet and goggles. i just 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 and well being are taken very seriously. mango trees there will give mangle 4 times a year. so all my people who are here, we'll get mangle 4 times a as a bit. and he didn't there one, do he rule is beyond manager. and also the son of fiona, a business man who invested $10000000.00 to turn the site into a showcase ship raking 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 them the board does it. it's very hot. we don't want to airports, we are really happy with the flip flops. so we had to train them, we had before them had slowly obadiah, and they understood the importance of wearing productive equal beverages in the hub it 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 our respective specialist to be contacted should a problem arise? what kind of hazardous waste was generated? last bug saw where glassware as best doors, brain tubes, biomedical ways to all diver where's will be what i have written here at p h. p. workers earn between 30 and 40 percent more. what 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 have darker high end stores and buildings with modern amenities are constantly springing up. ah.

solid is the is it? where is the apartment this way please wash who seine? the real estate agent? is it the hello? what are lordy? here you have a pool. and on this side the reception high. up for today, he'll be showing his client 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. they 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 me really happy with the client seems interested and asks about the price

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 . ah, enter the conflict zone. the war in ukraine has raised political turn shoes throughout europe, but relatively between cost and serbia in brussels. officials have told both sides to cool rhetoric and warn cost to vote without an agreement to normalize relations
