what do you see? it really is possible to reverse the researchers and scientists all over the world for you know, race against time. they are peers and rivals with one daring goals to help smart nature. the more likes watching it. on youtube dw documentary, the basic dw is aisha coming up to date, box is tons main goal batteries. production is down due to the devastating floods from last year. it could have a significant impact on the country's economy. we looked at how climate change could be to blame plus boltron is blazing a trade with it's in vicious environmental plans. it's stuck in climate change with
5:31 pm
forest avenue. both industries, the i've been trying to direct them to data been use a chart. logical join us, are you out on from boxes, tons, west climbers, disaster. the country is still struggling to get back on it's feet. mighty survivors are still living and mixture of shelters. millions of children out of school and damaged infrastructure. still hasn't been fully repaired. but there's other damage to that, to its main goal industry, a significant revenue on over the country. the production of this year is reading from the floods of last year. the mind go the king, the fruits and focused on loved by all. but failing in the old shots a formalism descend. regency last deals devastating floods have damaged
5:32 pm
the seals. mind goes. is it about how to buddies, i feel like that the bottom after it rained last year down be one or remain here for months. yeah, they've got a lot insects on which destroyed may go flowers at them. a good a good out. by that time we tried to find pesticides to control that, but there weren't any in the market. where would they have had them to? yeah. in 2022 pockets. consol torrential rains and flooding that sank. one part of the country's land under water. find this substance concluded that focused on heavy rain was made 50 percent more likely by climate change for local families and mangled traders. that nightmare really hasn't ended so far. get to the address they will go to the zone they were due to floods. the water got trapped here and it says salt accumulated in the roots. i mentioned. do i might have led to mount formation
5:33 pm
of the fruit and flowers started falling. typically, at the time of flowering, we stop water supply so that it grows through residual moisture and becomes fruit to put do not go to, is it pretty much it was probably put it. he estimates the same region good produced, 40 to 45 percent fuel mind, goes the seo focused on as a whole might see a fall of 20 percent. we are thinking that due to climate change, it's not only the better but the complexity of the diseases and the best sometimes the 10 gigs with that. but with, with frank, why does that affect the happen? the mangled production also suffered loss deal with an extended heat wave before the floods damaged crops. focused on is in fact, one of the world's largest mengel expose a trade that brings in millions of dollars for the country's economy. all of it in
5:34 pm
jeopardy has crop this fail from all i'm done by the, the bottom under both the jeep and it runs in a good welcome. agriculture is the main stay of many countries in south asia, but ease all of that and are in jeopardy due to climate change. a well farm is across south asia can expect more violent weather. so heat ways have already become hot. coastal floods the stronger tropical sites and will get strong the, the not more common. all of these re have it on crux. and what makes it a little bit more difficult to degrass, because if you're fond of these changes to the climate, will to make it less predictable, says difficult to know exactly what's going to happen. now to really get a sense of scale of the problem that this mountain range and south asia called the him do kush emulators and say this gigantic range of places feeds rivers that essentially supply water, drinking water, agricultural water, to more than one of the whole 1000000000 people and this mountain range by 2015
5:35 pm
between one quarter and one 3rd of the ice and that will have melted. and so that's almost impossible to really imagine how that will affect comments. i mean, you'll have fast way too much water. i've the stuff to melt away. overflowing rivers, you'll have flash lines, and then late. so you'll have almost the opposite problem where there's not enough for the source to actually provide for these rivers that say things will dry up. and so these are shots that will reverberate around the whole well, so this will affect the price of over here in berlin, where we are as well as farm is in india or in the next on today or the apocalyptic sonata of the, to a painting. and just within the, let's look at buckets on in particular, because last year the country experienced severe heat waves and that was followed by this record flooding. what explains these extremes of temperature so close to each other? yes, i do. my sounds surprising. the idea of having such a hot temperature that i'm having way too much water. but there's 2 ways in which
5:36 pm
there's a link to the 1st is that if you have really hot dry temperatures, then the ground itself takes up. it's really hard for water to get in when it does rain and so the ground becomes less able to actually absorb the water. which means if lots of rain falls in a very short space of time, it just overflows at floods, then you end up with these catastrophic scenarios. listening to what level just rises in space and few hours to record levels. but the other side of this is that climate change and making both of these 2 things well. so let's start with the heat ways i mean with already to the planet by about $1.00 degrees celsius by dining fossil fuels and releasing these gases attract heat. because of that, every single heat weight that's happening on the line today has become more likely on a bit often because of climate change, like the still a natural variability. but we've shifted the whole distribution of everything. so things alter, it's more likely we'll get to these record peaks with the flooding. it's a bit more complicated, isn't always super easy to pin down exactly where the climate change play the role
5:37 pm
of what source roll it played. but we know from one attribution study, but the flooding impact is done with the heavy rains of thought to be become been made more likely because of changes to the claimant's a warmer at home. my wife's dra, which means when it does rain mobile to can pull out of the country. it's like buckets done, which has, as has become about an increased risk of climate change. they've always argued for more financial support from the nations, particularly those nations that have been historically responsible for the, for the climate change that has occurred in the planet. how open has the world being add to these appeals for financial support. so the rich world has made promises some of which haven't kept so in 2009 at the climate summit in copenhagen, rich countries promised to give poor ones $100000000000.00 a year by 2020 to do 2 things to cut their in pollution and to adapt to the effects
5:38 pm
of climate change, adapt to the effects of a lot of products they brought up from us. so by 2020, they hadn't made that target. and they think now this year they might have made it that we went in there for sure until next year. probably. but there's 2 things that might have the festive, that this money is not nearly enough to at fleet. adopt the claim. daniel compensation scientists, a very for their own that from the 2nd does that lot of it was low. so companies would have to pay back interest on these loans that of supposedly being given out of charity from rich countries. and what happened last year, which really kind of change the picture as a pack us don, what it was still punched, it was still so imagine on the water out of claimants on it, in egypt, it pushed very hard with other countries as well. the rich countries to take responsibility to the damage caused by climate change. so that means not only paying to help in the future, but also to set up a fund from which poor countries could receive money to pay for the damage. and loss is caused by extreme weather events. whether that actually gets filled and who
5:39 pm
pays into it. who gets money from it is all unclear. we have about 50 seconds live talking south asia di with the climate change. there are 2 things that would need to happen the fast and start cutting, st pollution south asia is not a major contribute to his starts with the climate change, but to stop the find. a woman everyone is, comes up to their and, and by the way you are and sorry for countries like india, maybe getting rid of cold is probably the biggest thing that you can imagine. but there's also plenty of other things with agriculture and other factors to. the 2nd big thing is adapting to the effects of it. so if cities have heat plans, they can massively reduce the number of deaths that come when heat waves hit and they will hit, they'll keep on hitting. so either way, whether or not we make any progress stopping climate change, we'll send you to it up to the effects. believe it there, thanks so much for coming in today. i do do not just do the assignment reporter, thanks very much. i boot on is one up to 3 countries worldwide that are competing negative. vast forests covered nearly 3 quarters of the landlord, commodity emission between india and china and water from its no cover,
5:40 pm
peaks provide hydro power. this is the peanuts on to river in western time of the small himalaya nation generates its energy from this river unto many others. country will kitchen heads up the poor, not the hydra electric plant. he's proud that almost all the food times electricity comes from hydro power. does the ring now that, i mean, i think it is, you know, having the region for us to how does this energy and what you didn't use so that you do that of us delving justice. the electricity generated at this plant supplies around half a 1000000 households. hydropower is a renewable energy source. and the plant itself is also climate neutral and designed to work in harmony with nature. while the systems are all through the mountains, through tunnels. so the service levels, we don't uh, you know,
5:41 pm
make any decisions. so all in, in virginia is also know to, you know, uh dennis on a moment. that is, so it is a really in nature conservation is one of futons national goals. the country's foreign minister actually is really nice to have you here. thank you for taking the time. know, he's please that his country has been cobb and negative for some years. now. boot tons extensive forest covered and little industry means that it's a common think. it absorbs small carbon dioxide then it produces, it counts however, cells climate change alone. people also want to set up factories that pollute. but he had to be chosen not to do because we, we've faced the realities. but we hope that the bigger countries and also realize that to keep him on doing the ratings is not sustainable. that was the longer he'd like to see more countries following through towns example its constitution for
5:42 pm
instance, states that forest must make up at least 60 percent of the total land area is the one who can coordinate the mini entry project. it's aim is to plant more than a many entries in boot and within the next 3 years, it's another step towards increasing the countries carbon negative a t. but climate change is making things difficult. a, me say, look, you like, you can get some muscle this. yeah, we had to delay planting the trees. somebody helped me get down. i think a lot of rain for meant that the ground was simply too dry when the children got. it also meant that many farm is lost. that hobbies to sound like almost what do i need been to get? this is still dry here, but would you in and his team say there is no time to lose. they need to plant as many trees as they can to meet the vicious targets. then plus 1000000 say, he said we started calling our initiative the 10000000 plus project company because we want to plan more than 10000000 trees within the next 10 years. do you see any
5:43 pm
tree planted benefits? not only pretending, but the whole world. people here know that they can save our plants climate on their own. but what they can do is lead by example. and that does it for today, there's most orders from the region on our website is over dot com, forward slash to shout back again at the same time tomorrow. we'll see you then goodbye the f b i c i a and most of us have been home for 20 years. the song of a colleague, the most dangerous times we fund way was sort of the as we say, the poster child for the the profession problem assigned to
5:44 pm
them. and then it is said no one has ever seen a sold in the side of the suit. the powers fugitive right now. the will a dangerous where is, is, wanted dogs june 29 on the w. the financial markets react after the aborted power grab by mercenaries and russia. gas prices rising and the rouble falling after moscow's private military force. wagner briefly takes aim at russia's army. also in our show, more german companies are feeling the pinch of a shortage and skilled workers will talk to an expert about just how damaging that
5:45 pm
could be for your its largest economy. hello, welcome to our show. i'm seeing there's a in berlin of the russian rubel dropped with the lowest value against the dollar in nearly 15 months as investors responded to revolt. but russia's mercenary group wagner over the weekend. gas prices also briefly rose before settling later on monday. mercenaries led by if jenny precaution stuff stopped a rapid advance on moscow on sunday, with questions about present flat importance grip on power. the russian currency is down half percent weekend. but it's last about half its value since russia's invasion of ukraine. did us know or is founder and president of the global solutions initiative? he joins me for more tennis. thanks for coming on the show. we've seen the rouble fall against the dollar. we've seen a gas prices rise. how would you describe this market reaction that we're seeing put it into perspective for us, please? i think the market reaction is very far.
