even as its twisty plot will leave, many viewers baffled but fans of meadow mysteries should die, then they have it. that's your news update up as our coming up next is news, asia with g. i'm quite interested in berlin. i mean, the team, thanks for watching with ah, this is the dublin years asia coming up to date, the young victims of daily's deadly air polluting particulate matter is damaging children's health. can anything be done to improve equality and how new initiatives in another part of india, helping to restore land quality for more sustainable food production?

ah, my british mind you welcome to the dublin use asia. glad you could join us. the indian capital deli routinely ranks is one of the world's most polluted cities. it's a quality alternates routinely between hazardous and unhealthy. look at the weather up on your phone and you'll see what i mean. but it's especially bad in october, november each year, a seasonal mix of factors such as stubble, bonding by farmers for hitler, emissions, and weather patterns. literally cause people to choke. every winter at densmart descent on the indian capital, making the lives up with some don't be 1000000 residents miserable as in previous years, the toxic year falls is a major health risk to the skis children,

richie man, joe is really concerned about a 3 year old daughter annika one who suffers from shortness of breath and has to be at golf. we can put medicines at pines. a we have are the visits to the doctor's already constraint these days for children of this age group. so the situation is not at all good. the family was in forced to buy it purifiers to help the ear quality at home. the situation is also become critical in the capital schools. after a week up no classes. this deli primary school is open today despite the high level of pollution. but while glasses have resumed, there is still a complete ban on outdoor activities. are you all ready? mercurial. a senior teacher says that toxic small in delhi puts our students at great risk is the majority of the children suffer from severe coughs and sometimes

in faint. but the schools face a dilemma piazza teacher. the biggest challenge is the students health is very important, which we are trying to my me, i'm 2nd biggest thing is that we don't want the schools to be shot at this time again because the to will spend on making us actually did oriented education quality of the school on the students as well, guarding to the lead to support from state of global here. more than $100000.00 infants in india died within a month of birth, dubia pollution. another study has shown that one in every 3 children in delhi has impute lung function. this hospital in new delhi is experiencing a surge, a patient because of the skis, toxic ear, pulmonologist, doctor nickle more. the has seen hundreds of patients, mostly children suffering from respiratory problems. he says that situation is alarming. and believes that daily is toxic, yet to get

a serious health crisis. children is a very, really wonderful group because their young lungs are still in the goal of memphis. so during the development, due to the exposure to so much of pollution, that long before getting developed can get damaged, that damage getting the problem and indian government is currently working on an ambitious linear program. it aims to god it pollution, but what the person for the next 5 years, but that is a long wait, but you don't like, unlike who's already suffering from breathing problems. let's get more of this from jumping from the lubbock order issue. the journalist and author of breathing here is injurious to your health. a book about evolution in india was not gonna euro. you have lived in delhi quite for quite some time which ranks as one of the world's most polluted cities. what is it like to spend a day in daily's, polluted air?

it's awful. it's actually like smoking. involuntarily your eyes sting, your short just class and it starts hurting. you get sore throat. he gets sick. really often. i get a dull pollution headache pretty much every time i step out. it's really bad. it's actually a human rights violation. and it's got to think of her human rights violation. but this happens particularly every winter in delhi because it faces this thick blanket of smog that virtually shut everything down. and it's caused by a stubble burning on farms, regular emissions, and construction dust. the question is, why does this keep happening every year? and why is it not preventable? it is preventable actually, and then they make the lock down to the band. it showed us how it is indeed reversible as well. when we saw clear blue skies cleans clean air in the winter

of the call with the 2 years. everybody locked in for called it. but let me just quickly try and explain why this repeats itself. every single window, what happens is in north india, there is the human range, which sort of acts as a barrier to dissipate a pollution, especially the mazda, a harmful particles, as the timing microscope, it b, m 2.5 particles. what happens in the winter is when temperatures come down, there is something called inversion, where evolution gets trapped closer to the ground. so you're seeing more dense, a micro particulate matter which we then end up smoking because very, i really can't call it breathing, breathing. use an involuntary activity. and when you're constantly a smoking, smoke and dust, then really it is a human rights. pollution. be done. deli done, then most of north and you actually don't want to make this about deli entire and again, jet it in start smoking and that's 510000000 people were pretty much in

a gas chamber, but most of the winter. so the way you describe it, it sounds a lot like a climatic phenomenon. how do you prevent that? so it's not just, this is, this is i only touched upon the geographic and me to logical reasons. what happens in the winter is when thomas start start burning their crops double that releases a lot of smoke and the winds are turning around that time. so the smoke comes down wind all the way to all the dense urban centers, all. so at that time, october in november is when india sees its largest festival, the festival of the valley, which is festival of lights, but seems to become the festival of firecrackers. so you have like about a 1000000000 people bursting firecrackers. and even if everybody says well, i'll just burst a few, you can imagine what sort of there is in the air, not just micro particulate matter by now, because this has barium, nitrates, all sorts of chemicals. so now you're smoking chemicals,

in addition to the carbon particles that you're in, healing, and these lead to episodic highs, which actually hospital admissions in the winter have shown to have risk due to rise sharply every single winter. and despite that, i don't think this is getting the kind of public attention or governmental attention that it needs. you know, i did want to talk to you about the governmental attention. but just to where you describe it, it almost sounds like people themselves don't care enough to stop doing the things that they are doing that are contributing to this kind of pollution. would you agree? so i think there isn't as much awareness and you know, if i want to give an example when it 1st started, not many people were aware of what this disease is and how that comes up and all of that. but the government is very good. it very quickly spreads this information through phone calls. you couldn't make a phone call without getting the pre recorded message on what it is and how it homes, you know, predict nothing like this has happened for it,

but used in which actually kills many more people. evolution is killing almost $2000000.00 people every year in india, and that's many more than cobra. and yet it isn't treated as a public health emergency, which it undoubtedly is. evolution actually is the most home will, if it goes is mom, then disease and it's already been war or, you know, any kind of even smoking in its way up there is the most harmful public health emergency. and yes, it is not given that attention by the government. all right, so one is the awareness part of it. what about other solutions? you also go found out of an angel care for in your line of work. are you seeing enough solutions that people are working on? yes, there are people who are coming up with innovative solutions. but you know, you really need in a situation like this. you can't have a small number of people walking in silos with innovative solutions. you really

need the entire force of the government and the corporate sector. there is a lot of industrial usage. there is a lot of big, you know, been use and we have prompts double bonding, which is completely avoidable and which contributes almost 44 percent of winter air pollution to the north of parts of the country. and that is completely avoidable. you also have things like firecrackers, which in fact my group, a supreme court lawyer was one of the co founders in my group edition to the supreme court and had banned from 20171819. but despite that, of course, enforcement is not strong enough. so you have people, despite it being unlawful, any legal, reverse firecrackers going ahead and doing that because they are not aware of how, how badly it's affecting them, their young ones and their previous generation relieve a variable, the timing. thank you so much for joining us today. dorothy ponder lubbock order from wearable newsome to land degradation. it is

a serious concern in indian agriculture which use a significant amount of chemical fertilizers to grow food crops. excessive chemical use ultimately strips the land of its nutrients, leaving it non arable. but a new initiative in the southern indian state of entrepreneurs is helping reverse that trend. farmer e p. my know her has recently changed the way he farms. he has started using naturally put lighter and best to fight that a free of chemical death, which has not just boosted his crop yield. it has improved the quality of his land referral soon. his old only growing body under grown. not only that, although only capsule after that though, when i come or do nigel for me almost, i am going all types of a double to india. chemical fertilizers are often used in farmed land, the fields or were tilt, and usually a single crop with planted each year. distract

a 5th cause loss of nutrients from thawing and increase the risk of death certificate in a process of once for it. they land turning into dust, climate change if worsening, the problem then peters are rising and rainfall is becoming more if a killer the most important thing to keep in mind is that land is finite, right? and 70 percent or more of land has been converted from its natural state for human use. that doesn't leave us a lot of land that convert going forward when we consider the food garden and other needs. natural farming from matter sto distort unproductive land. if he was, if materials made from godaddy, go eugene brown, sugar extracted from sugar canes and at their natural ingredients. my lady has her thousands of farmers make 13. she said that he kind of her natural farming that we

are booking the book. it is very inexpensive. and lawyer, external input, i'll input side made from the local materials that are available most of the day, monday form what they are in the late. so dead weight cost less. that is it some in st. before them that is also encouraging. but skilling up natural farming will be a real challenge. and that's it sort of earth as a force more storage from the region on our website. delta dot com, forward slash asia back again, tomorrow at the same time. see you then bye. what secrets my behind these discover, new adventures in 360 degrees and explore. fascinating world heritage sites. d w world heritage 360 you know

that off with the patriarch kima. ah, i have some breaking news for you. german is foreign ministers addressing the cop 27 climate summit right now in egypt. let's have a listen to what she has to say. and hungary combined. that also means that every country has its very own vested interest in containing the impact of climate change. of the climate cries in at the same time that we manage this global challenge, this huge security challenge of this century. we can only solve this crisis together. it is therefore good to see that yes, stay in barley, the g 20 has one small expressed. it's clear commitment to the $1.00 degree go. and i hope that all g 20 states will now take up the mandate given to us by

our heads of state government here to reach a consensus for more global climate ambition. and to clearly commit to the 1.5 to grayco as a european delegation, as the german delegation. we therefore fight hard for this 1.5 degree path. as the german and european delegation, we are clearly committed to fully turning away from fossil fuels, both in barley and here at the club. we have expressed this at the same time goes on paper alone. ah, insufficient, in order to reduce emissions globally and fast. yeah, in paris, last and glasgow, we have agreed on all the necessary go.
