reminder of our top story, demoss, run health ministry and also says at least 50 people in kills and renew days, freely air strikes. israel says its force is also carried out, raising the occupied west, or bank, or resting palestinians allegedly involved in financing. and that is your news uptake. thank you so much for watching the it shouldn't be this warm here. it's hard not to feel something really is happening here. what is happening to grievance ice is explore an untouched place into the ice. january dw, the,

[000:00:00;00] the bob in our started cultivating duty at the age of 12, in those days of june, was an important crop here. of the, this is the governor. jude cultivation became less important. rice was the priority and the focus shifted from ju, just the plastic divisive the there that could be about to change a size. and are you a cons? cultivate or 5 or that could make the world a better place?

are you has believed in this possibility ever since his doctor told him that you could be turned into a material that feels gonna be hayes like plastic, but it's environmentally friendly. i read the article on the sooner the back. it is invented out by on, by love a c scientists. it is a bio de good to buy a plastic the are you and his uncle, a fast farm, the natural fibre, according to a century. so tradition for this painstaking process provide the fiber of the future, the northern bangladesh book or at district 6 o'clock in the morning. and early started

to avoid the summer heat. yesterday, temperatures reached 45 degrees celsius a fast, so this due to march. now it's harvest time the what the heavy at the end of the been galle months of to a true. we so the see that i saw 4 months later in the month of a chart we harvest that kind of my head. can we then plan to other crops on the same soil, such as over scenes or potato? what as they will know, part of the high on the one and they're going to go to of the 5100, is inquiry double how to use dried, jude sticks for many purposes. they bring in the most money how much we use them as climbing aids. investable feed, bought more for the walls of houses today, however, this is becoming obsolete as bricks are used. instead of jute,

bangladesh is a small country, but it's farmers count among the world's largest, 2 producers. a fast lives in the village of his lee. he is one of the wealthier people in the village. his annual income, he says, is the equivalent of 5000 years. the a thoughts has 4 sons or at this time teddy guy, after one is also a farmer and other one is a driver because that one is living in malaysia as

a migrant worker and the other is an engineer. i am 75 years old working life will have to hard when i 1st was young. the slogan used to it's not plastic handmade and bangladesh was popular in parts of europe. but if i says he's never heard of it, the in the 1980s, the tooth back from bangladesh became a symbol. that's the environmental movement. back then, it was known as a scratch. you resilient natural material. used to to not plastic was a rallying cry. now the fight against plastic is more urgent than ever. in the village of his lease scrap metal and plastic are collected for recycling. the people are paid and edible,

not so they will have to do to eventually replace plastic. who are the people who cultivate the plants? now, what role does jude play for them? who have overall jude cultivation has advantages. we hardly earned anything from rice this year, but we still grow rice for our own consumption, and we see the rice straw to the cadillac. c the, the price farmers receive for to talk to it's considerably some years proceeds from

sales fail to cover production costs. the government is trying to counteract this economic issue. a problem. you just take a partnership with the i'm the one in the market price is high, right? now and i'm farmers are interested again, and we want to support them by which is clearly easily in the current season, our department has provided them with seed and fertilize our free of charge. no h was this creates incentive. the farmers have to invest less or more and can make a bigger profit. it could the number of cds of these taskbar suffice. and a lot of issues have a number to lead. my name is to lee, i'm working as an assistant officer at the department of agriculture extension. i've got totally vocal ro isn't that isn't the data. okay. yeah,

that definitely the fiber feels thick and strong. it will be a good you, the foreigners that hold on resist the, the harvested tooth. stocks are left to lie in the field for 3 days until all the leaves have fallen off. what follows is the unpleasant part. the green starks must rot. the is, the musty water attracts insects and bacteria that are good for the jute and help the fermentation of the plant. but it's bad for human skin and causes itching says

a fight. today it is bearable and says if as he's used to it anyway, other challenges are more daunting. not move on the box. that's the fact that i'll quote you because you have one of the i like round you, especially the dude sticks. you know, they sell very well and don't require much work on, you know, but when it's too dry we have a problem running the green due to sticks in the past, it was easier. we used to do it everywhere in water holes and rivers. there is a river nearby, but now it doesn't have enough water. so now we use puns that are normally used for fish farming, and i have a pond close to i ups pond to tell me how to do it on climate

change is making every thing harder. extreme weather conditions are disrupting ecosystems throughout south asia says truly and dude, farmers feel the effects for us tend fox, i said i want the see the money to blush much. this is the my ancestors already knew that we have a very low b soil here. just kind of value for the model. for me, it only needs a little rate to retain moisture, mazda the parking lot of on sandy soil. i'm going to, the to plant would not survive more than 10 days without rain. for all these in, for bar at the market. that type of soil is we are here behind the year. it rains fairly reliably, every $15.00 to $30.00 days and summer would you go into the balloon. uh so our judgment is not damaged. the models of it will not be unlimited from us. unlike cotton or rice,

which need constant water to does not require artificial irrigation of thoughts says that he'd never heard of a buyer. degradable plastic like material made from june. until i you've stopped or told him about it. he uses a conventional plastic see to protect his plants. the . this is the one that i did not hold on. i put the plastic sheet on top to prevent

the mode from getting in and sticking to the fibers. depending on the quality of the fibers, the jude has to soak and water for 12 to 15 days so that it starts to rock. if the plant was already very ripe, when it was harvested, i can take it out again after just 8 to 10 days, but i thought i'm not going to have the of the in the youth's pond right next door. the dude sticks are almost ready. okay . that was the other day i said it would have to overtime the fibers can be removed from the stand by applying light pressure. but this one isn't ready yet. i still have to press too hard that that will clear. no. it took

a positive kind of set function that i think it will take another 4 or 5 days in his li, are you up, is known as the module farmers. he grows everything from oranges to toot and his family makes them proud. his daughter tia hopes to go to university in my country, people, things probably use the a, made a team not to the female to do this. and i want to start a study that how i live in and abroad. come to the, the outside of the country. i am a t o would not want to become a jude farmer even if she could do it. now the do try me is not, not they have these people, savvy farmers,

those little guy to reduce because the, the of me is by my, the jude me is, are all. so they don't to the del dante any buyers to buy it sandy, a do so many people inside of leave. the deuce. and it is a chart is all scan it is they allow us to do. so i'll watch to, oh, i see by the fibers. this chart is of plan is people out of the us. yeah. oh yes, yes, gas and the building, the building here. house the uh, the construction moves factories do used to be very important for bangladesh. says that to yeah, pulling out an old bank note a i b because the, the symbols, the symbols of pharma, our god is the farmer of separate fiver from the jews and the 5 corey. they have separate the 2 and it is our national groups,

the know. so then not has the same symbolized this t. so i read for you the do this type a color that is the that these wash from the borrower that, that is golden color, golden. sure. she will not be asked to evaluate college. so natalie asked that is golden, private, and it is so it is a, it is on a national across because each so we exports the other countries and we get dollars to the car and see the until the middle of the 20th century. jude was the world's most important tech style fiber after cotton. to this day, most of the worlds do production still comes from this region.

louisville soil. a climate that is humid and hot. 2 jude has been harvested in process tier for centuries. the british colonial rulers took the 2 prone here and sold it all over the world. the highest quality fibers have a golden color. these are set to grow best near rivers. that's why many dude farmers live by rivers or in the middle of rivers, an island called chars. the char, bye to allies in the middle of the juno river, which originates in the himalayas as the from a put try river the i'm you notice it's

a jude farmer here. the lie. a brother. did you also plant the season? no, no, not this year. i'm i don't i love life on the island. we bought it, but i live on the mainland because of the numbers and goods every day. i come back here in the morning and believe in the evening. i loved the nature here. however, the ears, fresh, uncommon look to however, there's so much to do on the island. so many opportunities on the mainland. i have new land and nothing to work, but i go to the river pirates. that's what i mean. who calls the people who attacked and seriously injured his brother?

that god he shows us the scars from the knife bones. he tells us that the pirates stole his cows, is. that is all over the crime is not the only thing that makes life hard on the chars. how's it legally? i've tried several of our struggle as far as the outside of my c id and mostly with the rainy season that floods over twice. i go as i so we moves the coast, the mainland on. oops. very well, but for him, the weather is just in 2 or 3 days. everything here is under water unless i hear about that. so it's all over. it was then we came up to the tin roof of the house. the monthly wooden planks don't. let's have to, so if you, we just live up there thing get, we're going to issue a packet. let's all over the booked ideas we were thinking since of the volume or the date that we're having is take a big subject. so, so, so what i'm

a landlord i mean, nor shows how high the watch of reached in recent years long i was, i'm charged even disappear completely for a time. $200.00 people live on this river island without electricity or solid ground under their feet. their times are resilient to they can withstand flooding for a good 2 weeks, but even the robust do times have their limits. who are the who do i have the reason why they're hard to believe. i believe i found that you back there. what it is totally ruined is you by the way, flow, if i grew up with the bundle that they had but couldn't because of the extreme flooding. we couldn't harvest quickly in a funny word,

and they died up. those in the flood lasted for almost 3 weeks to complete. the front of me, i believe, is in there by the, by the but everything was right about the put that there are new fiber are zip codes by me as if i knew i should do the loose up though out of the water comes on the plan trimmings under water for too long a little weird turns black around. no, i then ogden is no good to go more. i got to think of that. then what is that? what was the problem is that gives you though, that the list of only the golden, shimmering fibers are really worth and a thing, say about them like, i don't know a lot because i've lived here though, even if the plants certainly have some commercial. walter, how structural the fibers that come out of low quality that'd be high, but that we get a lower price on the market, right? because they are just colored or even black or not as college. why the numbers you i to prevent this dude farmers on the chars have devised

a system that i mean with this proud of leaving the island is not an option. they have nothing on the mainland. the river is both a curse and a blessing for the 2 plants to watch your noise just then with the minerals, but threatens them with much funding i live on the river. water isn't murphy, the stream carries on most of the soil and clean the substances stick to the doot fibers degrading quality, and causing the due to blocking good. however, if the river water is channels into a pond or a canal with the water is clear and fresh, i know that you trimmings and damage. platinum retains its golden color. so they have created artificial canals and water holes.

the if i didn't know the, they got to in the bottle. this is walter that comes from the river by the all the impurities in the month of settle to the bottom of the water with the bundle, by the time. well, actually the water is clear, and that's how you can still get the golden color to the basics of 5. and i've talked about the otherwise, there's no chance of getting good quality fibers are low yet another problem is impacting the by to river island to a low part of the day, if there's too much plastic around, then harms the crumbs. so we gather it burnett that solves the problems, are plastic, the 2, no people want to use less plastic bag, but others have because they have already in the past batch are made of jute most now we're going back to jude shopping bag sacks,

etc. and people are fed up with plastic that of the 200 kilometers down stream. there are people who want to solve the plastic problem . with the help of to the in the capital duyka scientists are working on this show nally bad project translating as the golden back. it looks and feels like a plastic bag, but it's made from cellulose, derived from cute if the invention of bangladesh, the scientists dr. mubarak and con, protective suits and mass have also been produced using this new bio plastic,

the main raw material as dried dude fibers. then we find the setters because the main ingredient of this one in the back is set are definitely made just to introduce a problem. i just got this booking for the reaction thing, the reaction we have to set up the temperature ratio and time for the poor to action. and then we own these types of the exact formula. it's a secret and says doctor con, this finale bag has suffered some setbacks. it was just about to go into mass production when the co dependent make it

sewing bags from this to polymer. it's also still the problem. the producers don't have access to the right machines is using dude for fiber reinforced compass. this has already been proven to work. dr. con has been experimenting with the material for years. his due to reinforce polymer mixture also has a name to to do can uh, is accomplish it met you. so that is a good for thought of bodies now and that tons and gentlemen in as, as your lives in assist. and then also data making some box with the flex fiber inputs comp legit to the appropriate feel of flux is better than to condense some extra but have flux, the production of flexibility, limited in some countries and the prices to time support and try them that will do sometimes it's, i just have a good quality plots. it's about 10 times 5 at the end of june. so, in that case,

juke is the potential candidate for making the com project. the i have to have the scientist has the mind, the destination. what then i want to go there. that is a destination. so lastly, i want to see why i'm using one to why? because the truth is really incredible. because he wanted 70 percent centers. you cannot find any t or across in all of the water waste content. 71. there are some plans, but it's not plenty. it's not kind of deal with anybody. like to is susan of

corruption bundle with dish. so it is the 100 visiting time. use 110 days and the other one creek on kentucky button settings on their buddies. lucky dick's getting to good people in the estimate to the this is rusty policy. so he can see the federal de barney this are little bit it's a just like, you know, victor here. this is the can proceed. and me did prove

a bad they gave me this as an incentive product. this, this is as it sounds like the perfect fiber. so why hasn't the environmentally friendly juke revolution happened by now? and what does the government, which commission this finale bad experiment to make of this? we ask for homage up, we'll come down at the ministry of tech styles and shoot this absolutely mobile idea and the mobile home account he is working on that. you're willing to do, you know, any, already talked to him, but the, the other somebody should actually, uh, the need to be addressed before waiting for the most production kind of, uh, uh, the costing thinks the other cool thing. of course, the homeless actually costs that is one issue. um,

because people know get actually plastic bags or anything big, big, stupid, almost a low cost. so that is $11.00 issue actually there is a stick completion with the this plus people for the next door interested but a good product. but the plastic community is very, very strong. keep on pipe dealers dollars business every year for the single do us shopping back so they are not easily allow you to enter into more plastics. an industry that is blocking jude farmers expansion and increasingly jeopardizing their very existence because the weekly meeting of the dude farmers have has lea 2 of the sizes brothers are also here state what they tell us that plastic causes

a lot of damage to their crops. might have done, but i don't think they've got a of this plastic is very harmful though. when it burns, like sticky, dangerous residues remain in the soil due to on the other hand decomposes easily and it fertilizes the soil. plastic takes years to decompose. and when we planned rice, it no longer grows well if the soil is pointing to a 100 because the high log enough, they would be glad to grow more dude and does produce more natural fibers. but conditions have to improve. many people including i ups, uncle hide, are, are unhappy this quote for you to think of a mammogram. the fact that will it, that's what we want. we also think about it all. the time. cute is really profitable, but we simply don't have any more water holes where we can leave the stocks to rock . and i mean, it's a real crisis. i got them kind of

a table tight. there are so many things we could do that i knew what i'm next hardwood they do mind if i haven't i better have them do that was i did. i did it as a whole in love but i need to do that. we're still going to, we used to have more of them, they didn't leave the no, they were leased by the government to people who are farming fish in the country by me. so kind of mazda of near and also low to plan on well charge you there, you're so welcome. thank you, sort of to run it must talk, sought out wherever there is water upon the dishes canals. it is, it was a lot to know. they are all use for fish farm and ready to go to the i got the, our hands are tied on while you're doing that is that have mazda? tasha johnson, how much would it make to go through? that's why they have created their own artificial patterns. these experience farmers make the hard work look easy, having rubbed, mineral oil on his body before getting into the sinking water to relieve the

itching i loosened institute fibers by hitting the stems the left. and this is how you waiting to talk. the clock does cost to go to lou will got a big deal in addition. don't talk it over the holes. there was a cultivation process is tyra shoot, has many benefit. when it is young, we can each, once you've extracted the fibers,

we make the money from it. it was used right? you sticks us fire. we have the, you know, who is, makes up for the hard labor costs to rely on was even though just contribution is painful when it brings us lots of benefits of black i want to do when to is still very young. it's leaves are used in cooking and are very healthy i ups wife alo says, so we'll talk soon. these are green vegetables are full of vitamins healthy i mean i just gently as ensure that we build up our immune system, him

b the part that some of them have good. what about the think if i do walk them on the moon love, hello. the normal price on the vehicle is the high thoughts that dips carlos, jute has changed our luck since it's currently being sold a good market price. i sent you the rundown and cost less to produce compared with other products for the initiative on by 1800. we can recover the production expenses by selling the dried stock so low at one box. will it be nice to, to be sure that the gospel, if i produce in the field too, because i can earn 2 and a half times more than what i would earn with rice is for going to do nama the co author. that's why you cultivation is a profitable crop for us farmers. back on the side of

the it takes 3 days for the 2 bundles to dry in the sun, are you but no fast then sell them to wholesalers who picked them up directly in his late the to sell their to too many farmers travel to the small town show not toilet. it's one of the largest due to markets in the region. the highest price for a killer to today is a t tucker. they say that's about 3 quarters of a dollar. 6677, count slowly. wholesalers buy

to then deliver it to the mills or a boss. what about the hey we have to make 5 kilo's less. there are 3 categories of june. first, the 2nd and 3rd rate quality that determines the price i pay. i buy a good quality duty at a high price medium level model, but this is medium quality by giving me the good one. and then look at that as low quality a high quality here 1st class, the best a defense type. everything is okay. the light of vertically out clean, soft, smooth, vertically at other than these vacant. this one is rough, very different. it's from the floods one, i don't know if i need the when i say well,

no. so that's out of the medical layers. wholesalers often store the tooth and warehouse. it's in order to increase demand from the mills and does drive up the price. in recent years, the government has closed down several jude mounts, which were said to be unprofitable. tens of thousands were left unemployed. there are times to modernize the industry according to the ministry, to the privately owned house on ali, to smell and folklore, of sources do from all over the country and produces it in 3 ships. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. the,

the conditions are bad. the temperatures colors, the stuff from the fibers creeps into the body, the exports go to india. the neighboring country is the world's largest producer of 2, but they still need imports to supplement their own harvest. products include 2nd delica textiles and sometimes called pets. yes. mm.

okay, not true to. fabrics may not be very soft, but there are durable and highly feasible production manager mohammed rama and tells us what the material was already being used in the 18th century in germany. and the region of present day has been moved to the money the gate would put the will actually the so called hash and goes back to germany, a square soldier's uniforms used to be made of jude out of money to say this was then adopted by the british army or we will shut the beat issue that there, and they then called a fabric which should hack in um,

the dc. the data money hits cnn, which has late i've tried to go to the over $800.00 companies in bangladesh, now manufactured to products. and that number is growing. the more awareness of due to environmental sustainability could be created worldwide.

global interests would really help say the history of farmers separately. that's our german. he is one of the pioneers in the industrial revolution before his off, if they were to import truth from our country, from consign deals with a government. and we can produce more of the golden fibre and supply of them is even more suitable. got to come to nice buyers to harvest more and it back to lots of farmers would come forward, cultivate choose and try to get us updated access to people on the go to the water allowed to park though we do the main challenge, i think is the price fluctuation, there is no certainty if the government put a system in place to guarantee that it would buy the to, to not as it already does with rice have to do. then i think this would mitigate the risk of being charged for the conduct of it did. they did show government that conduct the back of its the only issue saelens ticket being asked about will use to to not plastic. make

a come back. the history farmers hope so, but it's up to others to make it happen. until then, a fast will continue farming as best he can today he finds himself at the market in the evening. when i get a good harvest and earn a good amount of money, i buy suites for the children at home. i say to myself, eat more. don't think about money today without causing the harvest. that brings in the most money makes me the happiest, whatever. when i sell my harvest at the market, i forget all the hard work and it motivates me to keep working kindly with them. and then i'm even happy. i don't work or model the

the the people are fighting over water in the name. the struggle has increasingly painted herders against farmers. everyone needs this precious resource to survive the day as a new man who wants to mediate these disputes. to stop the vicious cycle of violence and 3 and residents before it's too late.

in 15 minutes on the w into the conflicts with sarah kelly with slow progress and the counter offensive and winter setting. and there's a growing number of voices calling for a re think of what the priorities crane and how to achieve them from the berlin foreign policy for. and i'm joined by ukraine's investors alexi montana getting closer to being forced to consider health compromises. conflict in 90 minutes on dw cost about why does that mean? i think it's like now i'm leave them under the new host. join us for an exciting explanation of everything in between. this is a video and audio production 5 d,

w. i hope the video will tune in the you're watching due to the news coming to live from berlin. the garza health ministry size is really strikes have killed johnson's of people across the strip today. one striking kills at least 20 in the town of darrell by law. as israel widens as air and ground offensive, i can also cut me off on the show. the u. s. approved spot could be if last military aid package to ukraine. a deal include some $215000000.00 and military assistance to keep a spot additional funding will dry up unless us lawmakers can break
