he's ready to eat journey this week on d. w. ah, the sunday 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 defences, 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 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 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 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 gay 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. so i put in, 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,

i suppose it's cancer. 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 in goose shop 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. wonderful people working and green factories will not want to leave them because of the sound working conditions . even ship breaking yards, notorious environmental pollutants are now going green. everything that 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 in 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 data 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 women off belonging. ah. is that one?

yeah, i 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, yes, there was a will. our work among cabana 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 see 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. 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. this is latoya. he found work riding a cycle ritual, which he rents for one year or 20 per dang. i would rather wait a rickshaw for the lady. the climate refugee works over 12 hours a day for 3 months straight before returning to his family. oh 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 mother. rather what i see, what is the mother more she 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 jobs. harding,

people around like this is exhausting when you need a lot of energy. what is the word? every 3 or 4 days corp 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 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 is to hold it over. there are now believe to be $6000000.00 climate refugees. like whoa,

been 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 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 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 pool trail was hit taunt recently despite the

sandbags deployed to protect it. the law says yvonne la zillow, avon 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 called either iraq on 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 devil's 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. i was out of the school phase and my parents low income it though 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 thus 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 said? there's nothing i can do and go with most of these young women will soon have to leave school if their husband can't afford to pay for their education. now it, i'd like to be a teacher, but my in laws might not want me to study version an hour at 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 sat on her husband is 20. how 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 or a little bit ago? did you run it? she'd been older. it would have been difficult to find her husband. so we were happy to have 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 call sabina, her 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. earl,

that would never was or not to live as a co. the floods destroyed everything and drove up the price of rice for sure. and he 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. oh ha. they're not up by the level that my daughter is still young at 13 years old. at 11 or 12, it's even was 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 likely to die during childbirth. and those in the early twenties, these planned us dine and illegal child marriages are not registered or recognized

anywhere. this was confirmed to us by the office of muslim marriages. oh, i didn't even 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 example both of them about him. according to unicef, $1.00 and $2.00 women in bangladesh, al married before reaching the 18th birthday, the legal minimum age, half of them will be under the age of 15. while compounding is used, that trek in 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, the dear one, due to drowning 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 big chair please works for angio that uses bamboo came to construct improvised pools in ponds. they so that's enough. he yeah i, he made it. i think he's learning 5, a round of applause. so hang is also worried about the dangerously high water levels. i did the leak when i beat up tear garner. it's rising all the time. i. 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 each other young about them there, but i will 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 pond where the swimming lessons are held. a few months ago that only daughter died from drowning with the low they fell in over there with the water high since are a what i go to the 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 said the gun 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 cared about. 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 perry a few steps away from the pond?

abdul visits her grave regularly. it's right there. boys in the rear. i'm seen. they're going on 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 made us how shall i brochure? for han last last long celine a, 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 me investigative journalist,

specializing in environmental issues. i talked with very old people and there's a base forget trisha bears to day. so. but now it is. if a big body, i think you big in all ladies sick, within half an hour in penalties, eyes, fashion, consumers around the world are also responsible for this pollution the war from europe, people from other developed countries like america and i'll, if we're from not there, the allies on not, but i would say they're also contributing to already revolution because in all the all or is one dip roads and new to the to blows and nothing a c. so if we want to blow them, but they're so your bowler 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 decor. he's heard about a new environmental scandal linked to the nether industry. the dallas worry 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 pinokie hopes his investigation will help save the ref. 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 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. what is it? 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 letter both of the clinical looking who and and going to be the person you will be. 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 dump it like this before that but it's all yes. the journalist is not convinced i don't think this 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 you learn 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 if duck williams comes that it goes through that eva and it goes through the open enrollment, then the chrome, 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 this cancer, when absorbed or inhaled chromium can cause cancer, if 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 village football is full, so old is a dead warfare we had a hand without any rules. so there, so you know and neither visited with highly proxy. can we go? so this is the home for what the hell? obviously the manager, if the tannery tries to play down on the health hazard, 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. 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. whoever started dumping appeared law. i'm going to do 200 meters further on the report to 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. so country dispose of the summer l. lelona, nevada. as now the play and reading. how long have you been doing this? has been 2 months miss ellen, would you do not because they're not supposed to dom btr 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 unbreakable. 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. all the men here are fishermen. but their nets have 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. and 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 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 own 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 rooms to build them. an astonishing but environmentally hazardous practice has emerged over the letter is not in a far come hear me kindling. i love 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 lord george. these are leftovers, illinois. i was the loons, carmen, i wrote 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. blood 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 and one or one on 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 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, zarbara and bash go up behind these fabric 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 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 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. the regime is one of the directors of the factory, the owners, the bi toe, p group, florida. we have especially trained officer on each floor in charge of fire safety . there's also a 1st aid teen ready for deployment. in the case of

the waste water is all read processed. this water is vol our electron. now, this is actually the men are always the one i'm here. i deal in a lot more, but we have finally study and then while most of the recycled water is discharged into the nearby sewer, 10 percent is re used in the immediate vicinity. so some of this water flows into the tanks and we used to irrigate our trees and also for flushing toilets by later what for what i need to write a foot in bangladesh. she's now home to 145 green fat trees. 44 of which have achieved platinum status. another notorious polluter is also moving in the right direction,

bangladesh in the world leader in ship recycling. one in 2 of all the worlds decommission ships and was it fly from the vast sheet 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 kinnen in 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. and the a's on the local 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? regard? thing 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 as best postcolonial. what do you do with us? best us a little more because you get a little we sell part of it buried the rest. there are inspections by the

environmental authorities, so we very discreetly. well, 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. and going to be somebody moves the him somewhere to lose the from will you know, 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 workers 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 necessary. and that if a worker is to talk to, 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 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 run and i broke my leg a bit longer. he still has metal plates and screwed loose in his. no, thank you, didn't the company provide you with protective clothing? i just did. i do do the home line. i wanna know there was no such thing from the

little one. 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 along the line that when i thought about one of 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, 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. i 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 year as a bit. and he, jenny, done the one you, he rule is the out manager and also the son of the owner, a businessman 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 gum. oh, wedding flip flops. so when we started them the board does it? it's very hot. we don't want to. edwards, we are very happy with the flip flops. so we had to train them weird before them had slowly obadiah, and they understood the importance of wedding protected equipage in the hub is

the site is built on a huge impermeable concrete slap. the hazardous materials collected are carefully listed on a board accessible to all with the name of a respective specialist to be contacted should a problem arise? what kind of hazardous waste was generated? last bunk, saw where glass wall as best doors, brain tubes, biomedical ways. so all deborah was, will be what i have written here at p h p. workers earn between 30 and 40 percent more with an 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 dhaka, high end stores and buildings with modern amenities are constantly springing up.
