ah ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin. the un sounds be alarmed about the world's growing water crisis. we all need it, but the un says safe drinking water is already in short supply and the problem is getting worse. not just where you think, but also across the globe. also coming up, german police carry on fresh raids on an extreme right group. member of the so

called iceberg were implicated an alleged plot to overthrow the german government last december. and french president and i called the fence as decision to force through a rise in the retirement age even as protest escalate across the country class . the human cost of last month shipwreck in italy, harb questions over the use a silent policy after dozens of migrants. brown, just a few 100 meters from shore. ah, i'm good. how else as well come to the program? it is the life blood of humanity, but it is in increasingly short supply. now a new un report has revealed the scale well,

of water scarcity across the world on world war today. especially united nations conference has just gotten underway. new york, the 1st in more than 40 years to specifically focus on water is being billed as a once in a generation charge to tucker a worsening crisis. as you and figures reveal billions across the globe do not have reliable access to clean water. and if urgent action is not taken, the situation could spiral further out of control. cracked, land, and dried out trees. judge is becoming a devastating reality all over the world. increasing temperatures, having a major impact, making it more and more difficult for people to access clean water. we see people that needs to travel long distances to get access to some supplies. and of course the quality of the supplies is being also challenged. so we see people that cannot

access safe order in many, many areas. currently around 2000000000 people, globally, quarter of the world's population do not have access to safe drinking water. it's a number that's likely to rise without a boost in international cooperation. the u. n. has warned in our port release today, lack of water is causing severe risks to livelihood damaging food security. and it's also having an impact on health. almost half of the global population lacks access to safe sanitation. so without water, there is absolutely no health and a lot of that actually is cause that water contamination if they are even able to get any sort of waters because of poor sanitation failing access to clean water and sanitation as a global problem according to experts. but it is the country's most vulnerable to climate change in africa and asia that are some of the worst impacted the you and aims to ensure access to water and sanitation fraud by 2030. but progress is

falling behind. we would have to do 4 times as much as far as financial investments, infrastructure improvements and everything else. so clearly there is, you know, i would say catastrophic neglect for water and sanitation as governments meet to discuss the water crisis or to summit this week. the u. n will be looking to turn that neglect into commitments that flow into action. that report was filed by louise osborne from the w environments, which ones is not. here in the studio is a new negotiated meeting for you when water conference clearly important. you mentioned that in the report of what's really at stake. yeah. okay. so i mean, as we talked about before, there are almost 2000000000 people or more than 2000000000 people who don't have access to water. that's a quarter of the population that can't have safer, lot the water to drink from. just imagine what that must be like. then there are

people who are almost half of the population that don't have access to safe sanitation. so no clean toilets to use. also hand washing, i mean, think of their coven 19 pandemic. were washing hands with so important. think about not having water to be able to do that with these people are coming contacts than with diseases. cholera, diarrhea that are killing over a 1000000 people a year actually die. people, i like to tell you exactly, and they are, these are preventable deaths. this does not have to be happening. and that is obviously something that is going to continue to become a bigger problem as the population continues to grow. well, population growth is one thing, but why is it so difficult for many people to access? what we would just ask on the report. i think the issue of drought, which means obviously their, the water isn't there. but there's also an issue when it comes to flooding as well because this damage is more at water infrastructure. so the counter intuitive isn't, it was flooding, there's less access to water. exactly. yeah,

you wouldn't really think about it, but you're talking about dirty water washing into clean water reservoirs and things like that and contaminating that water. meaning that you are not getting access to the, the safe water that people need. there are also issues of conflict. for example, which is driving people away, displacing people in areas like ukraine, as we know about where people are, then not able to access safe water in their homes and things like that. this is a big problem, but something that experts really try time a home to me as i was talking to them was that this is an issue, obviously in places that are vulnerable to climate change protect melody, but also an issue in the global north and something that is really something we should be taking our thinking about globally as an issue. now that conference in new york, the 1st water conference in 40 years, clearly important, are we going to see any real tangible effects outcomes?

i mean, that's the, the question when it comes to any of these kinds of conferences, the u. n. a is really trying to push some things through because the sustainable development goals that it's put in place for action by 2030 includes safe water access unfun notation for all by by 2030. and at the moment they are feeling that we are not going to get there. so they are pushing for international cooperation. that is something that they've really talked about financing so that we can make financing for more investment and water infrastructure in different parts of the world. for example, one of the things that they have mentioned is so called water funds, which would see, you know, cities and businesses who are using water investing upstream to agricultural management and upstream habitat protection to protect the quality of the water results with that dw environment. thank you louise. a one way to handle was

shortage is, is pretty obvious recycling with the technological advances inward recycling the water that went down your st. this morning might be coming back out of your tap sooner than you think. the city of los angeles is looking into what's known as direct potable reuse, which means putting purified, recycled water directly back into our drinking water systems. t w's in his port reports from los angeles. california is facing its worth trouts in recorded history . despite the rain and recent weeks used to water his gun from waste to a precious resource challenges to make this drinkable again, it's important that we make good use to recycle the waste water. so we're trying to be independent and harm utilize the water that we have to. it's most optimal

level. the waste water goes through multiple steps to be treated for drink. or you start from the beginning. we have 2 maint sewers that feed the treatment plan. and you're going to see her debris actually what we catch 1st we do that. so it as an m p, the equipment down to see downstream. so we have cleaned up. we gotta clean up that we can clean those ready to breathe, would overcome the sewer. anything that you flush down the toilet, anything that can go down to the sink, food waste papers rags even found. we were managed to get latoria like toys from it . it takes 5 further steps before the water reaches the quality in which it can be sent back to rivers or be used for agricultural purposes. disneyland is even using it to flush wife to which drinking quality further treatment is needed

after the can. that's no treatment. the water receives advances that consist of micro filtration, reverse osmosis, and in advance oxidation process. we're a seller rating. what we're normally happening through filtration in nature. by the end of 2024 will be utilizing 100 percent. ah, elsewhere throughout the city of los angeles, we have other goals like by 2035, all of the water will be our reuse. some, but not all of it. drinking water. just thinking back what i saw a couple of hours ago. and it looked like now, so i'll give it a try. perfect. do. here. here in germany, police have carried out a series of raids on properties linked to the so called

a rice burger group. that's the far right network that was implicated in an alleged plot last december to overthrow the german government. one police officer was shot and wounded in today's operation. several locations a neighboring switzerland were also searched. german law enforcement estimates. the extremists have up to 23000 supporters nationwide. for more that less bringing that i've stake now. he's a leading member of parliament for the governing social democrats with stigma. some people call that ice burger, a bunch of right wing loonies and other say there are dangerous terrorist organizations. what, what's your take on it? well, maybe they're both. as we know from the uprising 100 years ago, whether it was march and munich, peculiar persons were said to be individuals that don't have any chance of reaching anything. 10 years later, the same group i was led by then dictator or germany. so i

really think you really comparing them to the, to the nazi party. now what i'm saying is you never know, and you better be cautious and you cannot guess just from looking at peculiar people that they cannot be dangerous. and the danger might lie in the networks, as you probably know, one of the persons that were arrested a couple of months ago was a former member of parliament of the writing and turned it for germany. and therefore, there is a link for instance, and they are in pause in eastern germany, the leading party. and they have been the biggest opposition party in the last legislature. not an estimate to danger in any way. we have to defend our democracy and be tapped on on the enemies of our democratic order network. there

clearly are dangerous in a way that they sell to policeman today. but that i suppose also fantasized, for instance, about stormy. the german bonus, talk of parliament overthrowing the government even. do you think that's a realistic scenario for germany? well, it, she looked at the action that was planned. a plan to invade the bonus tag and capture 5 or 6 members of parliament and shoot them. that would be pretty terrific act as that happened. and i don't think that this is that you that you can prevent that from happening. that you know that by 100 percent, that works because it's not so difficult to get into the bottom and especially not perform a members. and one of the fall a member was part of this group. but the my, my main top i didn't, you cannot allow to get it to this point. and you have to show

that we have the, we cannot accept photos of the democracy, of our constitution being leading party in germany. and it's a combination of iceberg and other people and we're talking about people that have reference. and if you look at the people, i'm jan now. and there was journeys, military people, and medicine people, all people with leading positions with money, but network. and then also they find live where they had to tell their colleagues that they would not as or whatnot. tell anything what was agreed upon to the public. and if they do, they would accept the death penalty that is like, i mean,

the police didn't have too much effort and to find proof for their right wing and unconstitutional plans and therefore fitting. so say you showed you that we should not underestimate it anyway, but still in very briefly, if you can, do you think it is really realistic that someone over throws the german government and takes control of the country? i don't think that this is realistic in the short run, but if we don't do enough to prevent those dimensions, we're getting stronger. you never can rule out those things and you better be prepared to prevent us 5 state, another member of parliament for the governing social democrats. thank you very much, mister speaking. thank you. and france, president de manuel mccoy has defended his decision to force through unpopular pension reforms, raising the retirement age from 62 to 64 in

a television interview. mccall said he had no regrets about pushing through the bill without a vote, but added, he hoped to improve relations with labor unions and involved them in any future reforms. he also stress there was no way round the changes if france wants a balanced pension fund or memorial, but as i speak to you right now, please you think i enjoy doing this reform? no, no. if you think i could have done the same as many others before me, metropolis, and suite descent of the copy. yes, but there may be made here, but there is one thing i regret or guide is that we weren't able to in the form of the need one to go this reform breathing sector model initiative. the fact that i phone don't we? so yes, there are 200 solutions. if we want the pension system to be balance proven no longer is a bigger animal, we wait so many in the more it will get worse, hulsy. and so this reform is necessary and i would have preferred not to, but it's also because of a sense of responsibility was it was off while the w correspond. eliza lewis is

following developments there in paris and earlier my aster huh. cause words have been received in france, members of the unions and of, of the opposition parties here, don't seem very happy about what he said. they said he came across as arrogant. he was shame, disdain, you know, my, my coin is interview. he was trying to take things forward, he said, you know, i want to talk to the unions about other reforms. we're looking at an immigration reform. we are looking at increasing salaries. we're looking at the health sector and the sector of education. but what he did not say what people were hoping he would say is that he would maybe, you know, re shuffle the government to solve the national assembly or a calling for a referendum. that was what opponents were asking for. and unless he said something like that, i don't think anybody would have been happy about his speech anyway. right now we've heard this young protest to that, who said that he doesn't expect to get his pension anyway. but across the board,

why has the reaction to raising the retirement age from 62 to 64, just 2 years been so strong and for us it's kind of what people feel as the heart of the social security system here. you know, the, they really are very proud of their social security system in france. it's the question of identity. and also when talking about the reform, it's not the pension age, in general, is the minimum pay to pension age that's being pushed up. many people work longer anyway already, but it's about, you know, they feel it's a question of social justice. they just feel that people have a very tedious job, should still be able to retire at a younger age so that they can actually spend some time in retirement. and people are just very angry about how the government is going about this. you know that the government has now used this exceptional constitutional power to push the reform through without a final vote in parliament. and the read really feel that the government is to see

what the government wants and is not listening. and neither to the people, nor to any other parliamentarians. lisa, you've got the finger on the policy that where do you expect the protest to go from there? well, and this is really the big question over the past few days since thursday last week . there have been protests every day in paris, but also in other cities. these must smallish protests. now, 100000 people coming together and right away attacking the police are playing cat and mouse with them. you know, putting a fire to certain it to the mountains of waste. they are lying on pave walks here in paris because the waste collectors have been on stripe and all eyes are on tomorrow's day of protests. and where obviously opponents are hoping that millions will turn out and the government is now betting on these pray test is to go away after a few weeks. he could hear it in the interview. ma'am

a call clearly hopes that they can just, you know, pass this sequence, leave the sequence behind and go on to another reform. but the purchases of the art determined to continue to turn out to show that opposition to this reform did have eucharist. one of you to louis there in paris, a thank you lisa. all the other news making headlines around the world today. at least 4 people have been killed off the russian drones struck the student dormitory, 80 kilometers south of the ukrainian capital keith, the attack took place at dawn on wednesday, hours after the japanese prime minister left keith, following an official visit. a school and 2 dormitories were partially destroyed in the attack. grant's president followed him. his lensky has paid an unannounced visit to the besieged eastern city of blackmore. he awarded metals to ukrainian soldiers, and heard reports about the state of operations in the heavily contested city.

a boat carrying migrants broke apart just a few 100 meters from shore. our report on the rosie burch at visited the scene of a disaster near could on a crow, told him where the search for victims and frances continues. weeks after calamity struck the coast of calabria, strong wind spree, more bodies near shore. divers carry the remains to the coroner. a little girl is among the dead. haseb survived, he tells us he left afghanistan because his life was in danger. but more peril. lay ahead. a leather got you was about a mile. if the goods roha and i will never forget that day in all my life it was, he conditions were even worse than they are now as he got on. but i thank god that i received and i am alive without and give out a more. although on was the owner of the world, although i was able to save myself by groping and holding on to a piece of root from the ship. fellas,

them with the earth over as cuz she brought all my life in the sand objects outlived their owners. the shore here is still strewn with destroyed clothing, shoes, and even parts of the boat so many hoped would carry them to a safer or a better life. instead, dozens droned before ever reaching italy. and now what's left, are these broken bits and pieces of lives lost down the coast? we meet fishermen, vincenzo. after witnessing the rec, he's been advising search teams on the waters. he knows well, but his nets no lie empty. and his boat hasn't budged from dry land. when you'll land, i cannot go back out to sea. i can't handle it. images and those dead bodies keep coming to my mind, and i can't bring myself to cost on my fishing net. i just can't and shall fetch

some say this tragedy was all too predictable. local volunteer. francesco spends her evening serving up food to undocumented migrants and people in neat. she thinks the shipwreck shed light on failed policy and lack of legal pathways into the european union will go by little by built by law. the government really needs to get better at welcoming migrants, quesada did on the immigration as a positive thing. the struggle now they say they need to a couple down migration flows, instead of helping people arrive thought ada garcia, benita. in the cold light of day, italy's government says its conscience is clear. rome is forging ahead with controversial plans to restrict rescue ships operated by non profit groups. authorities here blaine's smugglers for deaths at sea and insist more you support is needed westhal problema vivia forgery. while this problem must at least become european problem, the idea that all italy alone cannot bear all of this thought took it through.

italy lends itself more than other nations to vote arrivals on it. but it's clear that all these people do not want to stay in italy. that was, they want to move to other countries like germany, while you eligible does to the injured body hussy has come to this makeshift morgue in the local sports whole to pay his respects. his future remains uncertain, but he says he's lucky just to have one. calabria wants to draw a line in the sand under this catastrophe, but more migrant boats have already arrived since the wreck, and some fear that before long these waves may once again carry death and destruction to shore. tarantino now where messy mania has gripped the countries set countries since the football stars returned to play a friendly against pelham. ah, no mercy was mobbed by crowd of fans when he left
