the sea has a quick reminder of our top story. cavan, moscow are accusing each other of blowing up a major in russian controlled southern ukraine. officials in the area around the nova kind of cut them, have declared the states of emergency evacuations on the way of residents down river. watching dw, use my from the don't forget you can get all the night just using information around the clock on our website at www dot com. i would also like a incident for me in the team. next washington by the ukraine was like a stepping points to, you know, find what you into that warranty wants to finish your studies. now you have a certificate from the train. you can choose to go back to somewhere else currently more people than ever on the move in search of

a better life. gag. we've something that is coming very, very soon. and you can wait, learn more about or know when a story info, migraines. the since the beginning of time, melting glaciers in the himalayas have been feeding countless rivers. they pour out of the mountain range, running like veins throughout the south asian continent. one of the most powerful is the drama to truck which travels thousands of kilometers before crossing bangladesh and flowing into the bay of been go here the river is known as jim the the gym. luna creates and floods and many islands and its course.

in ben gully, these ever shifting island sand bars are called chalk, derived from schroeder, which means wondering the 3000000 people who live on the islands call themselves child us. but we don't migrate. they say the islands do. we just have to wonder alone. from june to september during the monsoon, the rivers tides wash up fertile settlement that produces a bountiful harvest in the dry season. the floods provide both fish and joy to the child the but they also take knowing at the shore line of the old jobs flooding the islands and causing pain. the

like no man's. the child has moved from flooded islands to newly emerging ones. but they are used to this. they know the river gives them fertile soil on which they can grow and to work against a life of construction, destruction and reconstruction, the

weakness, dish or nothing over the last i'm. i don't know what the thing is told you. oh dear, didn't you catch anything? i'm so far careful, careful about it. that's enough for lunch. the news i have been talking to 33 year old that i am sure to god isn't actually a fisherman, but a farmer together with his wife aliya become he feeds his 6 person household besides their 2 children, his younger brother and mother also live with the the

raw him and his neighbors live on child early, but up in the middle of the moon. the monsoons began months ago and the river is knowing away at the island. but the tidal waves that usually flood the jobs are not here this year. even in august the me but for us tell rose to be there is the cost and the blessing and here with a $2000000.00 and they all flows, which i believe her was actually everywhere. they were both schools concrete building and i've been, we had every day for 5 minutes and then from the east, the river started pushing and ripping everything away. i was glad to do it because i'm, i'm sick. i'm is this all right here,

a child could come up again and people could settle again. what's the, what's the use? or the finder to the, wherever the village of relief route is. now, the moon used to flow sort of big ships used to pass by wondering if i saw it myself as a child and the child early, but has now been stable for 12 years. but it is the exception literally, but is one of a dozen charge that make up the gum shot a union district. not all the islands in the district have reached such an age every few years. jemina washes away some of the jobs only to later wash up new settlement elsewhere. the not far from the heem until recently lived showed us among the there only one or can be

seen now because you're moving has reclaimed the large parts of his former home. jemina has taken over the shoot us, i'm on a farmer, lived here with his family for 8 years and everybody kept over here was my home a piece of field was washed away with the property that kind of worried about here was a house over them was a neighbor that was another problem. anybody here was another friend of mine. 7 homes were here. the school that showed us a month son attends, must be demolished. the water is only a few meters away from its foundation. the rubble will be reused. building material

is pressure. it's not clear where the school will be rebuilt. for now it remains closed. yeah, my son went to the school, my property is gone and now we are losing the school to the ca bubble into the some in the building. you see here we build 66 years ago, so now we have to take it down and think of it before the school was some or else, then we have to take it down due to erosion and rebuild it here. tens of times we have to move at the school by the name of the monsoon season, and erosion go hand in hand. you never know which

island of the river will take next northward, perhaps the this job is only 4 years old. that doesn't make a particularly powerful impression, but farmers who don't have many fields often have no choice, but to settle here. the fellow, your mother, i mean i could tune lives here. she is married and has 2 daughters. her husband, a c, or o dean khalifa is a farmer. unfortunately, some of his fields have flooded and he's no longer able to feed his family from

field work alone. he also sells goods at the market, the killing of the game. we all have to live in a hot with the animals because we are afraid of thieves or robbers because the river is so closely if there are often river pirates. here we are poor. we have a few animals. if the thieves and robbers take that away from us, how will we survive the new zillow and it is it just last time the water was up to here up to the waist. it was very difficult to live here under the name, but then we moved to a neighbor's house for a few days and the flood hit us there too. then we had to build a rack up high to keep the animals away from the water. often we also slept on

a boat and there was no gas. the water taxi keams job relief, but is stable for the moment. the people here still feels safe from jemina and its powerful tides. but even they are not completely saved from the floods. is the dominant them you don't want i'm that's mine. i agree with that myself. it's growing. well. it dropped out that is that the same, these arises brand new things to technical development and we can try new varieties . you're looking at just the problem and the see it on a grow very well hi. can be used as high on the album when i was a child. you could only harvest as the feel like this a at v gave up to 50 is what i'm, what i'm gonna be

a problem at all. feel free to i want did 830 the the job and they came up from the 12 years ago. but well, people have become wise, so i'm good to go to quite a whole god because somebody planned trees immediately to and get this oil and the level one lucky pulling definitely got happy. definitely 7 though. and we can eventually sell the trees later. is everybody does business in this foundation we built in 2011 ever from after that we had to wait until the settled our mission is from either the edible doesn't mind when the water comes onto the property. here. we have to bring extra soil here, like with the boat, and then we build a hill. and then we put the animals on this hill here that can the lift. heavily blocking and for cooking, you can see the top, and of course it gets covered with water, finding police mazda, and then we build a high rock. and on top of this, again, a new stove,

we tried to keep the would dry and on top of it, we sits in cook. i often tell him that maybe we shouldn't move to the mainland, but he doesn't want to leave the char kind of. he loves the child more than anything the mainland does. that's the question for him. i'm glad that i tell her why didn't you get some money from your parents? why don't you get 500000 tucker to buy a plot of land today, but she contract? she dreams of a house on the mainland. we just don't have the money back on the whole night. right to go to the flow that about him and his wife aliya are busy all day like her husband. she's educated a lot here on the jobs. there is no opportunity for women to put their schooling to use a li, a supports her husband in his work and earns extra money as it seems through the neighbors by their clothes, from her instead of on the mainland. the

because little harvesting takes place during the monsoons, many showed us live off of fishing during the rainy season. but in recent years, the highly sought after catch has been dwindling. the . 8 the,

there are many different kinds of fish and practice showed us can even catch them with their bare hands. the account big it is the, the farmers no longer use the fish solely to feed their families at the port of golden darcy. they bring their fish to be auctioned off a supplement, think their livelihood on the. 2 came to sometimes visits the market and go be not cheap. nothing to me here. the

400. 6400. 60 anyone? 7407. the 501500. 15515 nobody. then he's gone for $500.00. the so he brings the expensive fish home for supper. the flushing can still trust that his land is safe from the rising waters. but not far away. it's a different story to do some on has given up his land and is storing parts of his

house and his relatives, the yeah, old, the individual pieces of a complete hon to the band. if you was of another hunt, i also put them on top. they how does the say go to the other one uh, find out how i can buy when we take down no rebuild the home. so it takes a lot of people to that. how does this logistically? it's a big effort that also costs money. what assume it is very tedious. what started monitor the vehicle, so on the buses, but we towers help each on it. i mean that if i decide to take down my house today and tell the neighbors they come right away, we have to have this out a little bit. if i hear that another neighbor is relocating with it. he tells me, oh no, it's on my guard by go that i'd help take down the hunt. transported away and rebuilt it. this i think we'll try to move on. got little showers help each of the sorting

more monitor optimal desk as the pseudo some on and his family have to stay with relatives until they find a safe place. for a new home, the river is rising, the

as unstable as the charts are. the land and farm land on them are still surveyed and entered into the land register. all showed us keep their title deeds in case their flooded land reappears. perhaps this time should have some on we'll get lucky and jim luna will give him back the land and took the this is what it looks like before the flooded waters arrive. the green grass land is food for cattle but in order to cultivate the land, the grass has to disappear. usually the flood takes care of that. when it doesn't, the farmers have to destroy the grass with chemicals in order to be able to plant. the

the cute is a particularly hardy crop, but it can only be grown in the rainy season. the, there's a reason it's called the golden thread of bangladesh. it drives even when flooded for the jude water is a friend. it likes stagnant water, the more brackish the better after harvesting, this dogs must be left to soften in the water so the threads can be pulled. the remaining parts of the plant are used as building and burning material.

the material dude, such as about one year old farmers earned about 400 to 500 euros from the harbor. significantly more than the $100.00 to $200.00 euros they would otherwise earn from us. not with products like dude and rice. the cho does have adapted to the rhythm of the

drying during the season. when it comes to electricity, they must also adapt to the rules of nature. solar panels are easy to use and the mobile. until a few years ago, expensive oil was the only source of energy for the child us. today children grow up with solar energy as the norm for 6 year old chic, it's common place. the teams brother on the chicago even runs his laptop off the panels. the computer is connected to the internet through his mobile phone.

when you are done here, could you please wait the patty field? okay. i have to go to a meeting or go away and when you, when you want to i get my product graduated well from school event. farming is this great fashioning that you didn't want to do anything else you would have how many devices and i want to work as a web designer from home. i mean, it was you who were doing the brother supports me to learn this professional medicare with to buy all this equipment is so this is supposed to be financially is helping us in the visual. the shut off that she knows here is how much is it out to them a little way this, i guess we're building that. we don't love economical image the honey, but i don't have any training in web design. so i follow the work of professional web designers in the country and they will even the ends nationally known. once i read that books the fall of the applause g cheap the most, i me the,

the kind of the needed to see the gives us boardman. life event, i think the young people on the charlotte, the very small now that if i can get them together, i would like to start the company is to provide services like this online, but it's always been a johnson. the unusually late in early september. the title floods have finally come. normally the child does expect 3 title waves between june and the end of august. but this time, the rising waters come only wants. here to climate change is evidence the

within a few days, the flooded waters reach dangerous levels. as the river takes its toll, no one's thinking about the fertile settlement. it breaks. even though the floods will ensure to a mountable harvest for the child us in the coming dry season, the by means you're doing the volume. and water has been standing here in the field for 3 days. 7 days ago it started to rise. first, the river was swollen and then in the last 3 days the water ended from here. if the water just continues to rise folder rice will be lost on what it is a good, i don't know if i'm lucky enough to save this rice crop. it's growing so beautiful in the bottle. here at the finish of

the me see find the water is close to l. ya. now, when the children play here, they could fall into a hole in it. it's dangerous. i want to take a bath papa hyphen because no, you just had a shower and i don't want it. well, that's how it is a life you in a few days ago we were working on this pos. everything was to drive and now we're walking in the water that sometimes the water comes up to a chest for over a head. sometimes there is even a current to you. will die come, grow. he seems relaxed about the flooding. aliyah is more concerned.

the ground near their home is still dry, but if the water enters the yard everyday life will become much more difficult. as evidenced than this footage from the past quarter century, the child us have had to develop extraordinary survival skills to adapt to the floods. floods which the child us, they are increasingly worse due only in part to nature. a bridge was built here 25 years ago, forcing the ones 14 kilometer wide river and to a narrower channel. the chow does say that until the bridge was built, the floods were not as dramatic as they are today. the,

the, the, this time there was only one title waive in the monsoon season. it left behind huge amounts of fertile soil that had to be till the dry season has long since begun. now, 5 months later, it's harvest time, the,

the but uh she, uh, jo mode. it going to a, to me. uh but uh she uh not to be long done that the hard no, but she loved me not quite lot good god. * mom, they had the bus to come back from you so that he was not lucky with his rice fields. the water destroyed the crop, but he was able to save his other fields the

landscape, which until now was a disaster area. suddenly looks very different. it now gives the impression one can live well here it is a different world, but distances that could be covered quickly by boat or water taxi in the monsoon season. now take much longer the

in the monsoon season, the water is overwhelming. now it is scarce. let farmers desperately need it to irrigate their fields, the soil still what in some places and good for planting rice. rice can be grown all year, but must be harvested before the flints come the

it's not just the rice that grows here. throughout the dry season. the child as are busy harvesting one field after another, at ground knots, mays, sweet potatoes, mustard, and corey, and are keep. it came busy. the number to bobby, that's literally what i'm gonna do. it actually sink. there is a river here. all these floods a like a blessing for us. i'm one of the because the more often to fly to comes, the better it is for our farm. and i want the more we can grow. so. so this book, the lucky mode. this is just a router when the monsoons come was that when it's all about this is l farmland,

that these fields only lie on plants at the 2 or 3 mountains on over the just where they are flooded up. i mean, peggy, only during this time can we not talk today is the ticket then when everything is verbal when it but it, that's why i think we live in the river, but it doesn't seem like that. but in november i moved the odyssey. i'm of the portuguese, i'm a glenda soil here has a big advantage. we don't necessarily always need the plants. sometimes you just say send for the bar example here, the soil into the see how the peanuts a thriving problem is, but you can see how drive the soil is powerful in the business. and that the supervisor on the team's neighbor showed us i'm on, has been lucky. but jeff, port island has reappeared from the river. he owns a plot of land on it. the soil is nice and high and it seems to be protected from

the erosion that cost him hudson fields during the last monsoon. now he's building the foundations for his new home. here. it will need to be high enough to stay afloat during the next flood. on us from the post inbox. now we are moving from the east and to the west and signed to solve the problems like we can actually make a good living from farming or bank or call and chat from them. but this erosion is the pro body of the say kind of model, but example of this house that i have to rebuild here. it will cost me most a $1000.00 euros altogether. i could have saved this money, but i'm forced to spend that little promo. that's the problem for us. the child really happens if every 3 or 4 years the river eats away my property. why do i cannot keep my savings that i bought in some sort of talking about the,

[000:00:00;00] the, even though there are no trees here yet to fortify the island, the new plot looks promising. the river is a safe distance away. i should have some on plan to move ahead of time and all the neighbors are pitching in the things are looking good for showed us i'm on at the moment. but no one knows when juno will get hungry again and start knowing on the shore line.

the the, the most of the told us are developed muslims praying 5 times a day however, is something very few do. but no farmer wants to miss the spiritual chancing at harvest time in late february the anybody to school? yes, i saw the teacher. what did he say?

he said i should study hard. i invited him to our house to did you see the house? i think so, but check because of the the bugler drive by playing the road. that's right. and once that, back to you alone, you look, see these are off to you. yeah. do you know what that's made on banana tree, right? whatever. and what did they put on this roster though? is it bad? yeah. that would be. and to look at the go, that's the boy. is this the see how sketchy is? she's afraid of falling into the water. finding the bit of like a yeah. but i'm not afraid of the water. the nude ford has also survived the monsoon. but now there's a lot to do in the fields. i mean, those husband associated with dean can take care of their younger don,

or she doesn't have to travel far to work. this means i mean i can take care of the older daughter schooling and have more time for housework. the other girl said that my father was a capital trader. as a child, he used to take me with him and i watched him alone, how the business works. level, i didn't finish school, so i have to and my money as a salesman. i managed a little bit until the 7th grade i my parents married me off so i couldn't get in, you know, if a lot of people that are so the we are poor child on

the with the know do the girls get married off quite early, but if and when you're married, you can't go to the 1st because then you have to work at home, but that's a little i would have had a good chance to finish school. my parents made an effort, but i blew i to this to her room. so probably one of those are the states like you are blind, even though your eyes are healthy, the people who have education or they can see properly, they can understand everything and do a lot of things with their lives. everything is much easier for the and those who have no education at all. they are like blind people with healthy. i think that's how it is. there are even people who can't write their own name or the pipe. i can home educate my children up to great stuff. i never nobody just because of of

the like another bundle. no, no, no, no, no that's enough. ready or wait until next time. here, i want to take one more minute that's enough. and i want another one. you wouldn't make it. i well the, the dry season has brought a good harvest and some security. the rice dogs are a precious commodity because they feed the most important thing of all the animals . they have to be stored outside so that the floods won't reach them. papa, look, look what i have here. my goodness, so much. where do i put it? bring it here, place for 6 year old chic life on the child is still an

adventure. he doesn't know what's in store for the family. the monsoon season with it, a time of uncertainty will begin again the even though the family knows how to deal with the rhythm of nature, there is no secure foundation for an easy life. aliyah knows that the move you have to cross the river here every time to bring in the harvest. that's going to be hard again. because you did you grow crops the last you know, even further away and i think that was very exhausting. you were down to now we wanted to keep up and when i don't know yet how i'll make it to see it. are you coming home? is that? no, i don't want to. why not do what i mean? okay. did you foster volk? why didn't you get some of the, the,

the of them we've gotta pay more lower. you know, the women who work in the fields carry a huge stacks of pain on the, when the used to it. so what i've never done that was up in the diamond bible. why shouldn't you you can try it some time. they look at a called a home. no, i don't want to, as i'm supposed to do everything myself or what, who else hasn't been going well, no, i told them i was hoping that's at some point we would live on the main them so that the children could go to school. you could do, you have assets there on the mainland, a fallacy. i thought, well, you don't want to give up your fields here. you also create your job in the city just to plow on the charles all the time. but that's not enough for allowing it a negative. we'll see. one way, i guess you want me to toilet line in town and send you money so you can have a good life. sort of then keep digging into sam's. you don't need to go up,

but i tell that to your sons because they should make money on the mainland and due to life the. i'll stay here on the job. many child us think like that he, they may never give up this land. but to constance, remain the child shifting nature and the child us desire for security. the daily struggle for recognition transgender people in congress. how

do they survive in a society that rejects them? basic strength in numbers, show who they are and fight for their rights. global us 30 minutes. africa. they are hot commodities, speech and pens. these are being illegally treated as pets and kidney. ranger. upper knowledge or national parks are found out. they want to raise awareness of the issue with a wide range of projects to protect pansy. pico africa in 90 minutes on d. w. the the one small step for
