are in that requires an urgent action in the future is being determined. now. europe revealed part 5 of our series in 45 minutes on d w. ah, what people have to say matters to us. i am. that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend on d. w. ah . autumn 2022 and the messiah steff his air it. there's been virtually no rain here on the tanzanian grasslands for 3 years. almost

all of east africa is ravaged by drought. beth, the semi nomadic messiah are desperately looking for water and pasture for their herds. a problem also affecting farmers. mays is the staple food in tanzania and also provides forage for animals. but the crops have fail. events and vincy looks in dismay at the sparse yield. many people here in tanzania are struggling to survive to compete. meanwhile, the effects of the russian invasion of ukraine are being felt even here in the shadow of kilimanjaro. ah, ah, for centuries the mus i have been roaming the grasslands with their herds. but currently there is no grazing to be found for hundreds of kilometers. ah,

the marseilles traditional homeland, the step is increasingly becoming a desert. at the foot of kilimanjaro africa's highest mountain climate change is having a devastating impact. ah to ne, a community deep in the step is welcoming a visiting pastor. this area is part of the lutheran diocese of mo. she the provincial capital, some 60 kilometers away had been yell myo is the local dean. the bishop's representative response for 45 lutheran parishes. with almost 120000 members. dean, mario is painfully aware of the critical food shortage. we had in 50

percent drought, at least people could harvest a little bit. but this year people have lost completely in very few areas of tanzania, people could harvest something. dean, mario refuses to accept a situation in which some people have nothing to eat when there is plenty of food in the world. he walks long distances from one family to another all day long. some of the traditionally nomadic mas i have settled and built hudson, now drought is destroying their homeland for international aid organizations. these communities are extremely remote, and barely accessible by the village elders described their desperate situation. some families have lost as many as 68 or even 10 animals to thirst and starvation. in the home, this woman tells us that all the young men have headed for the mountains with the farm animals looking for food and water. they've been gone for

a week when the dean asks when they're expected bagley, she says they can't return before the rains come. otherwise the animals will die. there are no grazing areas left here. she says. in the traditional boma and enclosure for animals edged with thorn bushes, there are only 4 goat. all female animal. they provide the family with some milk and in an emergency can be a source of me. 6 people live in this small hut with its limited resources. the lutheran church is trying to help these people. it's been 2 months since the dean's last visit back then. he was able to buy 1030 kilo sacks of maze from farmers on the coast, with donations he received from germany and elsewhere. that eased the hardship of some 50 families for 2 or 3 weeks. with the brought food event or bread for the

world agency run by the german lutheran church is doing what it can for the people of tanzania. back in berlin, aid workers are told how russia's invasion of ukraine is affecting life in east africa. the lutheran bishop of kilimanjaro is currently on a fundraising trip to germany. the war in your crane, who is also christ to suit stick employers, who man in the fall, foul land in no crane, but you can see the impact of it. also in pens. now. at the prices oh for commodity fees, so some important commodity to slight care. sure. it's gone up. a price is full grains is gone up and this is data

to memory. to me. my version is this meeting or from really premier lose because her and they depend on an incognito, through world, from outside and even sometimes it grays from outside for months, moscow halted the export of wheat and maids from ukraine and russia. tanza nia has a shortfall of several 1000 tons of grain. i was a little girl with adding to its problems. the country has taken an over a 1000000 refugees from other east african countries. the u. n's, world food program is stretched to its limits. he the data dea, an authentic a decked admin in easton, 6 more not currently uncovered requirements for the next 6 months amount to more than $890000000.00 of grammar. we've already suspended programs that prevent

malnutrition, and we've also reduced rations by 50 percent, meaning that people are no longer receiving the full rations they may often. and we've also had to remove 1700000 people from the few date program altogether that i have allison, in the likely increase in migrants fleeing to europe, is a scenario that moscow appears to be taking into account perhaps, to put pressure on ukraine's allies. there, when the european wheat harvest began in july 2022, the silos and ukraine were full of the previous year's crop. the country is among the world, major grain ex borders, but all of its c ports were now blockaded by russian troops. usually ukraine export some $18000000.00 tons of wheat and $28000000.00 tons of mays each year, including to africa. now the farmers of ukraine don't know what to do with the new harvest, fearing that much of it will be left to rot. wheat and the corn have become weapons

in russia's war as of yet burnett who live alone. of course, we're all feeling the effects of the ukraine crisis. but they're even more tangible for people who have a poor and livelihood. huge dashboard in a normal year, tanzania import $600.00 tons of wheat from russia and ukraine. that source has now dried up. i didn't us up in east africa in particular, the decrease in imports and the increasing costs some very noticeable. and that exacerbates an already fragile situation darkened out delagarza. the situation in east africa is very, very dramatic and is currently deteriorating. that there are 89000000 people suffering from acute hunger. and the situation could get even worse, especially like 80 percent of tans. and he has population over 40000000 people work in agriculture. but most children under the age of 5 and their mothers are

chronically malnourished. they don't have enough to eat, and their diets are not varied enough, leading to anemia and developmental disorders. and in the current price war, even the staple food maze is unavailable. during the harvest time, we used to weigh maybe one big footprint to 5000 or 30000, which is equivalent to pen euro. but know, as of this day, it is 150000 times on shillings. that means 5 times the normal price. it's a crisis that is affecting all areas of life. we visit a secondary school run by the lutheran church. normally 500 children attend to classes here, but right now it's, he really quiet. there is it blew up both of shooting,

went over. why some of the community they are not able to do so. or to say for the, even though it's less school see the doable of and so sometimes you can not or 5, they say that that is really helpful for students only $50.00 to $60.00 children currently attend the school. usually they're fed here, breakfast, tea break and lunch but currently the school can't afford to pay for food. and there is also a lack of money for teachers. for the most part, the students have to study on their own. often with an empty stomach, the headmistress feels helpless. we can ask the day, is this the church leaders the way a decision that we are pressing in the middle?

they can give us some ideas, but in a really sense we didn't experience before. that's why i can't explain anymore. behind the school buildings lies a banana plantation and a field of maze. the lutheran church owns a number of properties like this, but their yields are getting smaller every year. so this is the place where we, we bring in the harvest from our farms, when the harvest mays, we always bring it here and pull it out of the shells here. so this one, the growth is of the maze. what we hover the this year. and these are the cops, so we, we take out the mays and c o, this, ah, the whole cops w good from the harvest. and now you can see how am is that we have for this year. and we could have given supply to our people because it's very less

quality contrasted to the previous years. and we usually have a more than 50 or 60 bags from our firms, but we did in harvest. so if we had to 6 this very lucrative and applied to our people in the mission area, but unfortunately, it was so less the soil in the grasslands has an extremely high sand content. strong winds have become more frequent, and the last remains of fertile earth are blown away. the ravages of climate change . this area is extremely dry. the top water has not yet reached this place until now. and how do they found to find water? they have to walk along a very long walk to collect water on the other side. also, there are a long walk to collect water,

clean water. that's why we sewed. it's really important to dig for them. we haul and collect water. and luckily enough, the what that table is not verified deep. some benton can go fulton with us though . you find water. if you want, prominent water, you can go to them at both though, and have a continuous flow of water. this type of well construction is dangerous and requires specialist skills. it's necessary to dig to a depth of 25 meters. the men work with only hammer and chisel. fortunately at this, well, they reached ground water without incident depending on the nature of the ground, a construction like this costs the equivalent of $500.00 to $800.00 euros. even

with the support of german donors. the lutheran church is unable to finance more than 5 or 6 walls a year. a ground water level that significantly lower at 50 or 80 meters below ground requires huge machines to drill down. and those cases, one well can cost anything between 8 and 10000 euros funded by bought for developed and other donors. but the wells cannot solve all the problems here. their water is reserved for human consumption. if they were used for irrigation as well, they would rapidly exhaust the ground water supply wells are merely part of the solution to the problems of global warming. ah, ah, i'm a cy. parish celebrates it's sunday service to see the canvas roof was donated by a business man from the provincial capital, nor she oh, it was originally intended to protect worshippers from storms. but it hasn't rained

here for 3 years. their bishop is counting on the communities of kilimanjaro supporting each other. oh, we enough rica of land to shall. so for example, when in the law i law a parcel of the mountain. if there is no food a, we ask her the parish him as will have for it will live in their upper land for example, where it is grima to collect some food. and there we send this food to help those who are really met, or why i impacted by the food should mount kilimanjaro sustains an enormous area. also in neighboring kenya, on its northern slopes. the mountain is a major tourist attraction. visitors who want

a scale at summit half to fork out between 3 and 20000 euros. the mountain streams constitute a lifeline. but even here, there is less water. on the higher reaches, the cascades aren't as strong as they were 10 years ago. the water comes from a melting glacier. 5800 meters of fresh snow rarely falls on the summit. and climate experts predict that by 2030 there'll be no ice left on kilimanjaro. further down the mountain, the situation is increasingly dangerous. everywhere farmers divert the water to irrigate their fields, tomatoes, cucumbers, and coffee all grow well at this altitude, but they need a lot of water. and precious little reaches the foot of the mountain. this was once a wide river. now shepherd boys heard their animals to the remaining tiny pools.

ah, just 30 kilometers away from the majestic kilimanjaro. the landscape is turning into desert. ah, people here are fighting a desperate battle against climate change that they themselves have not caused. known the wife of the lutheran bishop of the kilimanjaro diocese, has started a cooperative 70 women planted tomatoes on church land this year. or am i doing him right now in late summer? there harvesting what they can. but the project now only involves 6 or 7 women. with the help of dr. events, i'm fancy. they struck a deal with a neighbor on whose property the last gasp of a river still flows, grandmother, but that water has been a source of dispute for some time now. continued the ortho until they finished you to get dea crops. so it's very difficult to india

bailey into in conflict with them as we consider our lot is far away from here. so we use a lot of electricity. so as water can do to the, the neighbor allows them to extract water for 2 hours a week. this is only sufficient to irrigate a small part of their tomatoes. some 80 percent of the cooperatives crop has withered and died without a reasonable harvest, their investment is wasted. the situation is dire. they get the small amount of food either from other areas where the air is low enough for doses. he was if no money for my needs. so that is what it is. even though she, because they haven't their money for went to hospital. so that go to she's investment the mock m a hospital is further up kilimanjaro. at an altitude of almost 2000 meters. it's main. ward is almost empty. not because people are healthy,

but because they cannot afford to get sick. is i, tony camaro only came here because she'd sustained severe injuries. took care and i've been here for 2 weeks now. why am i? yeah, i had a bad accident and burned my whole back with boiling hot water gone. so i had to go to the hospital near. oh yes, diety now and healthy again. but my family can't come to pick me up. i do my yeah, my yeah, my easy. she's been receiving medical treatment, but usually the family has to help take care of the patients and bring them food. no one has visited sy, tony for a week. she has 2 small children, no husband, just an elderly mother. her hospital bill is the equivalent of 120 euros, which is way beyond her means. so as i, tony is stuck in the hospital as though in prison. don't

resign yourself to a tragic fate. that's allude. mangano has message. he trained as an agricultural consultant in germany for 3 years now. he advises farmers in tanzania, the habit of goes to properly him to side to talk of high progress that goes our big problem at the moment is drought van, which is a major issue here because of global warming. the land is very dry. poland and my colleague, my friend abraham, wanted to meet me to discuss how to cope with the drought in via de zak a huge organized organ couldn't. elliot and abraham wanted develop sustainable agriculture at the foot of kilimanjaro. i think in the face of climate change and a drought thought to the price explosion and the consequences of war. abraham invested 5 years ago building a rain water reservoir. but after the reins failed to materialize for 3 consecutive years, and it only has water for a couple of months on it. we don't want any, he doesn't want to abandon the project. however, even though his experimental attempts to grow high quality produce failed this year,

well, when with him what it is? yeah, abraham had put up a beard, but abraham tried to grow patch of root here alba. he says the problem is that the person whom he consulted didn't advise him very well, and that's where he lost so much. and now he's looking for a new consultant will yet look de and no, but ada. abraham wants to grow the fruit without chemicals, if possible, organically, at to vinegar, because he didn't have enough water. but he tried anyway, because his heart was in it, that he really wanted to grow, passion, fruitless for. and in this acute crisis aid organizations such as board for divert support the concept of concentrating on regional fruit, possibly exporting it and using smart irrigation systems. the aim is to make these rural areas independent of m. portland, the global market, the vietnam from bush big avenged on hoffen as thus as an innocent, more nut and from india. and that by 3rd, we hope that in the next few months will at least partially succeed in including farmers and the drought stricken countries and regions and our efforts to combat

the threat. a fam hersey had thrown through the kenton filo. many crops grow very quickly with millard, for instance, takes less than 3 months, and i more than half munsey, i'm with wherever possible. we want to include the local farmers in their efforts in these regions. in some areas have had rain fall to and then as to which af, good exit out of the air quotes with dish counter development of the by of a. so in the very short term, the world community can involve farmers from family regions to grow crops for their neighbors. and then until bone does that mean that would be very significant because it would have a long term effect, an effect o done. then if, even if prices on the world market were to drop again, it would mean these regions becoming independent of them and the establishment of regional supply chain. it's an, it may yonah for father but those kinds of concepts won't bear fruit over night. abraham knows he isn't using his scarce water resources with maximum efficiency.

despite the drought, his crop is thriving, but now he would like to install water pumps that run on solar energy. that would reduce his energy costs to 0, but he lacks the capital to invest. and there's another problem, while abraham has water, his neighbor doesn't even in this crisis year, abraham's wife is able to serve her visitors a delicious lunch of may's tomatoes and beans. oh, i found tay atlantis at the farm hand also gets fell. it'll be his only meal to day . a lot of people in these parts get even less to eat. in previous years, the lutheran church and the kill him and charo area always had between 1802000 tons of maze to distribute to the needy. yeah, no, go to this thought dean been l. my jo makes it clear that at the end of 2022,

they have reached a new crisis level. this is the solo to store our amaze when we harvest, when we get from our publishers, or when we have some donations from. but as friends, we keep them here. when that is in problem with food in maza areas or elsewhere with a plate for the conic he use. if you listen to this, it means there's nothing inside. also this one, it's completely empty. the same applies to this. it's also and do you go to all this once the or empty empty, empty, completely empty, with emptied and cleaned everything. and we are still looking for some

possibilities to find some more ms. forestall inside for the future use, but also to supply for people. the ship provides a glimmer of hope. the rezone in the boss for a straight. the freighter was the 1st vessel allowed to export ukrainian grain in august through the so called grain corridor, across the black sea to turkish waters. by mid november, around 500 vessels, with over 11000000 tons of grain had taken this route, but none of them had docked in hands and he has largest port doris alarm. meanwhile with rain yet to materialize, the people of the messiah step are still hoping for help. ah, ah, a couple of 1000 tons of me from ukraine would save many lives here. there's no way we can escape the truth that is hunger among our people. it's a fair mind. i know the government has some food reserves, but you know,

if for example, we don't get the show trains and maybe next year again, no rains. surely this is with ah, ah, with

who i can check off right? hold on for. okay. mark, okay, sounds good. transport is the greatest cause it's 3 o 2 emissions in europe. and that requires an urgent action and the future is being determined. now, europe revealed part 5 of our series in 15 minutes on d,

w. o, one a with

the breeze a body and soul houses that dental leaders can construct far more than just building his ideas. bold and passionate. you have to be routed cuz that's a radical mean. go back to the roof. he is the son of jewish holocaust survivors. how lucky that i was able to build to just present berlin because it's very closely related to me as a person is architecture is a celebration of democracy and it's not building. the biggest thing in the world is the spirit of an architect of emotions. architecture is kind of on the street. i believe he starts december 25th on d w.

ah, ah ah, this is deed of you news live from berlin. iran's leaders appear to make a big concession. after months of anti government protests and violent crack down the country so called morality, police isn't polished, also coming up the you want a level playing field. the blue.
