does that regularly disappear and reappear for people who live on them? all right, and don't forget, we always have much more news on our website that's do you have a com and i'll be back in the top of our with more news. thank you very much for joining in the do these do for fun vide, do gravitational waves squeeze out about how do i the drums for the test page? and what's the perfect kid for approx side? find the on says, get with dw signs. don't need picked up channel 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 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 and bars are called chalk, derived from schroeder, which means wondering the 3000000 people who live on the island call themselves child us. but we don't migrate. they say the islands do,

and we just have to wonder, along from june to september during the month 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 the what you're saying is told you, oh do you didn't you catch anything? that's the careful careful about it. that's enough for lunch. the

talking to 33 year old, the heem shorter god isn't actually a fisherman, but a farmer. together with his wife leah, 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 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 both the cost and the blessing. and here with a 2000000 and now flows, which i believe her was actually everywhere. they were both schools concrete building and we had, every states were 5 minutes before the civil readings 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 use or the finder to the where our village of relief is now. the moon used to flow from the big ships used to pass by when 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 the heem until recently lived. shoot some on the there only one or can be seen now because you're moving uh 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, there was a neighbor, there 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 precious. 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 ca bubble into the some in the building. you see here we

build 66 years ago, so we have to take it down and think of the before the school, 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 cause. follow your mother. i mean, i could tune lives here. she is married and has 2 daughters. her husband, a seer, or 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 scale 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 daughter who just see it and they grow very well. hi. can be used as high on the, on the advocacy. and remember, when i was a child, you could only have as just the feeling like this a at v gave up 50 is what i'm, what i'm gonna be a lot of moving down the list. i don't know what you have on did 830 the the job and they came up from the 12 years ago. but well, people have become wise, so i'm getting ready 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 that one right? does business in this foundation we built in 2011 ever from after that we had to wait until the settled our mission is why 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 those have lucky 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 wood 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 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 . 8 the, there are many different kinds of fish and practiced showed us can even catch them with their bare hands. the look how big it is, the the

farmers no longer use the fish solely to feed their families. at the port of golden da sheet, they bring their fish to be auctioned off, supplementing their livelihood on whatever the event came to sometimes visit the market in golden da sheet. nothing can be here. the 46400. 60 anyone 747500 anyone? 515515 nobody. and he's gone for $500.00. the

so he brings the expensive fish home for supper, the so that he 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 the store in parts of his house and his relatives, the next. i bought it. yeah. oh, the individual pieces of a complete hon to go to band. if you was of another hunt, ios put them on top, let us a letter that they, how does it say,

go to the find out how i can buy when we take down no rebuild the home. so it takes a lot of people and they had to just logistically, it's a big effort that also costs money. what assume it is very tedious. what dollar amount of had to 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 whether he tells me all knowledge on my board. i go there and help take down the hunt, transported away and rebuild it. that's how people tired of newborn car launch hours help each other. the starting, my mama said optimal depth 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 unstable as the child's 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 they are 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 flood 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 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 upfront. it likes stagnant water, the more brackish, the better. after harvesting the stalks must be left to soften in the water so the threads can be pulled. the, the remaining parts of the plant are used as building and burning material. the in

the material dude, such as about one year old the farmers earned about 4 hundreds of $500.00 bureaus 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 end 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 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 for you? okay, i have to go to a meeting or go away and when you, when you want to i get my product graduated. well, i'm just cool event. the comic is his great fashioning that he didn't want to do

anything else. certainly palm and dave, i mean, i want to work as a web designer from home, but it was you who were doing the brother supports me to learn as profession. i'm going to get with the vial this equipment. so this is supposed to be financially is helping us as a visual visit. gosh, and what else is she knows here? covers it out to them. a lot of ideas. i guess we've done one thing that we don't love economical image the honey, but i don't have any training and web design while i follow the work of professional web designers in the country. and then even the internationally known ones that you read the books, the follow the law and g cheap the most. i me the, the kind of the deeps of boardman high event. i think the young people on the charles a very small and if i can get them together, i would like to start a company 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 showed us expect 3 title waves between june and the end of august. but this time, the rising water is come only wants. here to climate change is evident 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. my

name is usually with the one with the water has been standing here in the field for 3 days. 7 days ago it started to rise 1st, 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 figured it was the i don't know if i'm lucky enough to save this right scrub. it's growing so beautiful in the bottle here at the finish. me see, find the water is close to l. ya. now move. when the children play here, i think they could fall into a hole. it's dangerous. i want to take a bath papa hyphen because you know, you just had

a shower when a good day, you don't want it. well, that's how it is a life for you. in a few days ago we were working on this pos. everything was do dry and now we're working in the water that sometimes the water comes up to a chest for overhead. sometimes there is even a current to you. will die come to 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 every day, life will become much more difficult. as evidenced in 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 once 14 kilometer wide river and to a narrower channel the child se then 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 become. now 5 months later, its harvest time, the but uh she uh, jo mode. it goes to a to me uh they could but uh she, uh, not to be long done that the hard. no, but she loved me. good is not by the goal of god. * monday, ahead of us to come

back from you so that he was not lucky with his rice field. the water destroyed the crop, but he was able to save his other fields of the the, 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 is still wet in some places and good for planting. rice, rice can be grown all year. what 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

knots, mays, sweet potatoes, mustard, and cory, end or keep it came busy. the agent number to bobby, that's literally what i'm doing. i actually think there is a river here. all these floods a like a blessing for us. i'm one of the because the more often the flooded comes, the better it is for our farm. and i want the more we can grow. so to do this. but the thing for us to go to level 5, but more, this is just the reason when the monsoons come was that when it's all about this is l farm land. that these fields only lie on plants if the 2 or 3 mountain don't over the just where they are flooded. the finding peggy only during this time, can we not told you that 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 data key. i'm, i'm, the person who's in the glendale soil here has a big advantage. we don't necessarily always need the plants. sometimes you just

say send for the bar example here, this oil and the see how the peanuts a thriving problem is. but you can see how dry of the soil is good, bottle front of your business and then the that he was 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 2 months 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. the important book. now we are moving from the east and to the west and signed to

solve the problems. we can actually make a good living from farming and anchor calling check from them. but this erosion is 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 euros altogether. i could have saved this money. i think that i'm forced to spend it a little problem with that's the problem for us. the child really have to do it every 3 or 4 years. the river eats away my property and i, i cannot keep my savings that i bought in all sorts 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 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 let me be to school. i saw the teacher. what did he say? he said i should study hard. i invited him to our house. you know, who did you see? because i think so, but check because of the bugler drive by playing the broad. that's right. and what's that, that to you alone you look see these are off to you. yeah. do you know what? that's right. ok. well, banana trees, right?

whatever. and what did they put on this roster though? is it that she yeah, that would be and to look at the go, that's the boys just the see how sketchy is. she's afraid of falling into the water . finding a way to like uh yeah. but i'm not afraid of the water. the, the child 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 house work. the

girl said with my father was a capital trader, as a child who 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 on 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 and 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. like i said, my parents made an effort, but i blew 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 that, 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 grade stuff. i never know better just because of the the i'll take 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 the top us look, look what i have here. my goodness, so much. where do i put it? bring it here, place for a 6 year old of 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 then last you know, even further away and i think that was very exhausting. you. me, when you were down, so you know, we wanted to keep up, and while 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, let them we've got to 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 i've never done that was up in the diamond fiber. 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 salad. 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 you want me to toilet line in town and send you money so you can have a good life. are sort of then keep digging into sam's. you don't need a job, but i feel 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 here. they may never give up this land, but to constance, remain the child shifting nature and the child us desire for security. the

future we decided him the india was to take on can they succeed? the we took out was the indian comic who d w. they are abducted, or alluded with promises of vacation, ukrainian children,

but they find no safety in russia. the rest of vacation, the children are forced to live with new families. under moscow's watchful lines, stolen by russian snow stopped in 19 minutes on the w. the. the nice to be at the end of the wood hasn't got any difficult to access an expedition ventures on to places that no one has the why is the ice melting the assignment research in the i c
