of fine unified government here in this country. thanks a lot to that. i'm in a safe environment. let's set you up to date nicole pro. this will have more well, here's at the top of it now in just a moment. typed documentary serious. i visit set time, pre river islands in funder dash, which disappeared during the monsoons seems a good day. have a great weekend. bye. the and we've been calling is great for investigating the theme this these. everyone here just wants to get into bit calling. bitcoin then known as bit to coordinate arrows. invest is from all of a moving to last in america in such a bitcoin treasure. no, it is the cryptic currency valued more high as you've been here. but it's going in less than america starts november 8th on dw,

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. the one of the most powerful is the drama to truck, which travels thousands of kilometers before crossing bangladesh and flowing into the bay of bingo. 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 islands, sand bars are called chalk, derived from schroeder,

which means wondering the 3000000 people who live on the island called themselves chuck. but we don't migrate. they say the islands do. we just have to wander along from june to september during the months to the rivers tides wash of 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 mans. 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 work again. a life of construction, destruction and reconstruction. the weakness dish. nothing over the last model. no, see what you're saying is towards you. oh dear, didn't you catch anything?

that's all 5. careful. careful. roughly that's enough for lunch. the 33 year old the heem shorter god isn't actually a fisherman, but a farmer. together with his wife lea, a be gum. 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 shot early. but in the middle of the juna,

the monsoons began months ago, and the river is knowing away at the islands. but the title waves that usually floods the jobs are not here this year, even in august the me. but for us, child has to be there as low as it costs and the blessing and here with a to moon and mail flows, which i believe her was actually everywhere. they were both schools concrete building and i've been, we had every day, we're 5 minutes, we're probably single readings and then from the east the river started pushing and ripping everything away. i was glad to do it because the come is it sort of right here. a child could come up again and people could settle again. what's the use or the finder, the where a village of relief is now the moon used to flow from 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 early, 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 black heem until recently lived showed us among the there only one or can be seen now because juno has reclaimed the large parts of his former home. jim luna has taken over the shoot us i'm on a farmer,

lived here with his family for 8 years. it everybody kept over here was my home. i'm a piece of field was washed away with the property at the bottom. here was a house over there was a neighbor. there was another the yeah 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, my son went to the school, my property is gone and now we are losing the school to the level to see a problem that there is an appointment or some in the building. you see here we built it 6 years ago. so let them know we have to take it down to think of them, they just want one on the back end before the school was some or else. then we have to take it down due to erosion and rebuild. it has 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 nor to port. perhaps the least child is only

4 years old. it 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've got 2 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

. the day 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 up. 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 safe from the floods. is it that me down? what i'm that's mine. i agree with that myself. it's growing. well, it dropped out that is that the see, these arises brand new thanks to technical development and we can try new varieties, jo and look at the see it on a grow the very well, why do you this high on so many then they have to remember when i was a child, you could only harvest as the field like this a and b gave up fifty's hold on. hold on would be a problem. at all, feel free to have a good 830 the the job and they came up from the river 12 years ago. but well,

people have become wise on. we'll get to go to court a whole god because somebody plant trees immediately to and get the soil and the level one up you pulling the vessel. got happy, definitely avenue. and we can eventually sell the trees later. is that one right? the 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 near that. can you tell us how lucky and for cooking? you can see the dove, 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 wood dry, and on top of it, we sits in cook. i often tell him that maybe we shouldn't move to the main lands, but he doesn't want to leave the chalk 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 and tucker will 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 ready to go to the flow that about him and his wife aliya are busy all day like her husband. she's educated, but here on the jobs, there is no opportunity for women to put their schooling to use a lia supports her husband in his work and earns extra money as it seems to 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, there are many different kinds of fish and practiced showed us can even catch them with their bare hands. the,

the kind of big it is the the farmers no longer use the fish solely to feed their families at the port a golden donkey. they bring their fish to be auctioned off, supplementing their livelihood on the. 2 came to sometimes visit the market in golden da sheet. nothing can be here. the 46400. 60 anyone? 7407. the 500.

anyone? 500. 15515 nobody. then he's gone for $500.00. the the he brings the expensive fish home for supper, the, for the he can still trust that his land is safe from the rising waters. but not far away. it's a different story. short of some on has given up his land and is storing parts of his house and his relatives, the

economics of it. yeah. all the individual pieces of a complete time to go to bed. if you was of another hunt, ios put them on top of that, they have to say go to another one. uh, find out how i can buy when we take down no rebuild. uh huh. so it takes a lot of people to they had a dis logistically, it's a big effort that also costs money. what assume it is very tedious. what dollar amount of had equal some of the buses, but we towers help each other. i mean that if i decide to take down my house today and tell the neighbors they come right away, i mean i want to have decided when, if i hear that another neighbor is relocating with it, he tells me all knowledge on board. i go that and help take down the hunt, transported away and rebuild it is how people tired of move on quite a little charles, help each of the sorting what a lot of it optimal desk as the

to do 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 on stabilize the child's are the land and farm land on them are still surveyed and entered into the land register. the all child us keep their title deeds in case

they're flooded, land reappears perhaps this time should have some on we'll get lucky and yamuna. we'll give him back the land until 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, but 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, the stones 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, the 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 dry and during the season. 6 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 that he was brother or only 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 graduating well from school event. farming is this great fashioning that you didn't want to do anything else when the plumbing device ended and i want to work as a web designer from home. who were doing the brother supports me to learn this professional medicare with my oldest equipment that i supposed to be financially is helping us in the visual visit. i'm not sure what else is she knows here, covers it out to the ideas. i guess we've done one thing that we don't love it when we actually we started to go to honey, but i don't have any training in web design. so i followed the work of professional web designers in the country, and then even the internationally known month, i read that books the fall of the applause g cheap, the me that in the needed to see the gives us vaudeville 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 as expects 3 title waves between june and the end of august. but this time, the rising waters come only once, tear to climate change is evident the within a few days. the flood waters reach dangerous levels. as the river takes its toll, no one's thinking about the fertile settlement. it brings,

even though the floods will ensure to bound to both harvest for the child us in the coming dry season, the means you're doing the volume. that's how it is a life you in a few days ago we were working on this pos. everything was due dried, and now we're walking in the water. i don't want the water. 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 to 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 flood 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 child say that until the bridge was built, the floods were not as dramatic as they are today. the,

this time there was only one tidal wave in the monsoon season. it left behind huge amounts of fertile soil, but had to be till the dry season has long since begun. now, 5 months later, it's harvest time, the of the she uh, jo mode. it goes to a to me uh, but uh she uh, not to be long done. that the hard. no, but she loved me off. i love go look,

gone. * and they had the bus to come back from you is 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. and 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 and 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 floods 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 that's mays, sweet potatoes, mustard, and corey, and are keep it out. he busy the number of 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 flood comes, the better it is for our farm. and i want the more we can grow. so. so this book, the lucky mode. no, this is just you right? when the monsoons come, what's that when it's that this is l farm land that these fields only lie on plants of the 2 or 3 mo, done over the just where they are flooded up. i mean, peggy, only during this time can we not call 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 the november move data key. i'm of the portuguese. i'm a gland of 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 and the see how the peanuts a thriving problem is good, but you can see how drive the soil is compatible. the business that the supervisor on the team's neighbor showed us i'm on, has been lucky. but jeff porter 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 month soon. 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 as well. that's why i'm taking the important box. now we're moving from the east and to the west inside solve. the problem is that we can actually make a good living from finding a tank recall chunk from it. but this erosion, the pro body body that will just say kind of model, by example, this house that i have to rebuild here. it will cost me almost a $1000.00 bureau, so altogether, i could have saved this money. but i'm forced to spend that little promo that's the problem for us. child really have to do it every 3 or 4 years. the river keeps away my property body, and i cannot keep my savings at the bottom in terms of talking about the 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 the things are looking good for showed us i'm on at the moment, but no one knows when joe no, we'll get hungry again and start knowing on the shore line 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 have you been to school? yes, i saw the teacher. what did he say? he said i should study hard. i invited him to our house. you know, to did you see the house? i think so, but check because the the, the you go abroad by playing the broad. that's right. and once that,

back to you alone, you look see these rock do you yeah. do you know what that's made? ok, well banana tree, right? whatever. and what did they put on this roster? the how is it that she 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 even if i knew it, would my god this. but i'm not afraid of the water. the, the chart of 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 daughter. 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 and learned how the business works, that i didn't finish school. so i have to and my money is a salesman. i managed a little bit until the 7th grade. and then my parents married me off so i couldn't get in, you know, that's a lot of people that are so we don't know 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 i feel like, oh,

i would have had a good chance to finish school. my parents made an effort, but i blow i to the 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 one does that, and those who have no education at all, they are like blind people with healthy eyes. 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 remember my mother just because of of the i don't think 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. 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 stalks are a precious commodity because they feed the most important thing of all the animals . they have to be stored up site so that the floods won't reach the top us look, look what i have here. my goodness, so much. where do i put it? bring it here please. for 6 year old chic life on the chart 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 hot again. the best services, 7 years. what did you grow publish the last, you know, even further away. that was very exhausting. you were, they were down so, you know, we wanted to keep up in one. i don't know yet how to make it this year. 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 is that i pay more lower. they know the women who work in the fields carry a huge stacks of pain on the, when the used to it. so i've never done that in the beginning. if i were,

why shouldn't you you can try it. sometimes they look at a got a home. no, i don't want to. i'm supposed to do everything myself or what, who else? i can learn. what do i go to? i was hoping that's at some point we would live on the main them so that the children could go to school. do you have assets there on the mainland a galaxy? i thought, well, you don't want to give up your fields here. you also quit 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, 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 a job, 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. they may never give up this land, but to constance, remain the child shifting nature and the child us desire for security.

the do not pursue so not to set the rules. philips spends due to somebody in the system so they don't thoughts protection without cutting down local mangrove for is a big change for us on the national park. and the people of the people is a d, i c e co, africa. any says she minutes on d. w,
