in the french channel, but then it gets into the large scale russian states media administer of defense reports. and with that that you are up to date here on t w. a news. thank you so much for joining us. up next dw documentary on the inhabited, built island in bangladesh, that miraculously appears and disappears during the monsoon season. the name is the calls back say thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold bad. a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it aloud. that's what it being nosy bay like good everyone to kings. check out the award winning called com. so hold back 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 june. the, the juno creates and floods 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

child us. but we don't migrate, they say the islands do. we just have to wonder along from june to september during the month to the rivers tides walsh of fertile sentiment 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 again. a

life of construction, destruction, and reconstruction. the weakness dish is nothing over the last model. no, the only thing is told you, oh do you didn't you catch anything up so far? careful. careful about it. that's enough for lunch.

the soon as i happened to talking to 33 year old that i am sure to 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 child has to be there is the cost and the blessing. and here with a 2000000 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 before the civil readings. and then from the east, the river started pushing and ripping everything away. i was glad we'll do it and say i want to come to this. all right here, a chuck could come up again and people could says over again the you or the find the the where a 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 black heem until recently lived showed us among the there only one or can be seen now because you're moving has re cleaned 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 on a piece of field was washed away with the property that kind of went 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 i'm on my 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 see a problem the, 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. they just put that 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 here. tens of times we have to move with 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. noted board. perhaps the list 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 of your mother. i mean a cartoon lives here. she is married and has 2 daughters. her husband, a c, or o dean khalifa is a pharmacy. 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 on 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 and have a name. and 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 feel safe from jemina

and it's powerful times. but even they are not completely saved from the floods. is it that isn't we don't want, 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 looking at the bottom and the see it and they grow very well. hi. can be used as high on the, on the album when i was a child, you could only harvest as the feel like this a began from fifties, hold on to what would be a problem at all. feel free to on monday at 830 the, the job and they came up from the 12 years ago. but well, people have become wise on getting ready, go to quite a whole god, because somebody planned trees immediately to and get the soil and the level one

that people invested got capital, definitely avenue. 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 near that. can those have a 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 good back at. 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 con 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 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 practiced showed us can even catch them with their bare hands. the account big it is the

the farmer is 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 the heem to sometimes visit to the market in golden da, she's nothing to me here. the 400. 6400. 60 anyone? 7407. the 501515515 nobody. then he's gone for $500.00.

the the heem brings the expensive fish home for supper. the for the heem 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 yeah, old, the individual pieces of a complete hon to go to a band if you was of another hunt. ios put them on top,

lot of that letter that they, how does it say, go to the other one? uh, find out how i can buy when we take down no rebuild. uh huh. 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, 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 with them. 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 like rebuild it, just have to go tired of newborn car. little showers help each other the starting more as long as it 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. the all showed us keep their title deeds in case there flooded land reappears. perhaps this time should have some on

we'll get lucky and yamuna. we'll give him back the land and took 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, but 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 a friend. it likes stagnant water, the more brackish the better after harvesting, the stocks 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 400 to 500 year rose 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 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 when you when you want to, i get my product crunch right and well,

just cool event. the timing is his great fashioning that he didn't want to do anything else. certainly palming device any. don't want to work as a web designer from home, but it was you who were doing the brother supports me to learn this professional medicare with to buy all this equipment that i supposed to be financially there. so you know, the visual visit, gosh, and what else is she knows here, covers it out to them and literally this, i guess we've done one thing that we don't love economical image data go to honey, but i don't have any training in web design. well, i follow the work of professional web designers in the country and even the internationally known months of video. i read the books, the phone of the law and g cheap the most. i me that in the needed to see the board been hi event. i think the young people on the charles very small now that if i can get them together, i would like to start the company to provide services like this online, but it's always been a the

unusually late in early september. the title floods have finally come. normally the child as 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 water is reached 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 mountable harvest for the child us in the coming dry season. the,

the i mean you're doing the one you assessed and what it 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 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, they could fall into a hole in it for that 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 for you. in a few days ago we were working on this pos, everything was do 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 every day, 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 once 14 kilometer wide river and to a narrower channel, which i would say that until the bridge was built, the floods were not as dramatic as they are today. the the

news 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 but uh 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. go look, gone on monday. i had the bus 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 and 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 that's mays, sweet potatoes, mustard and corey. and are keep that he busy. the agent number bobby, that's literally what i'm gonna do and actually think there is a river here. all these floods and 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, substituted with both the blood working smooth. this is just a router when the monsoons come, what's that? when it's all about, this is outbound land 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 told you that the ticket then when everything is a verbal one, what does? that's why i think we live in the river. but it doesn't seem like the key i'm on

the positive. glenda soil here has a big advantage. we don't necessarily always need the plants. sometimes you just see send to the bar example here, this oil and the see how the peanuts a thriving problem. but you can see how drive the soil is good by the front of your business. and that suit me. the of the that he was neighbor showed us i'm on, has been lucky. but as a 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 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 from

the boston box. 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 or dying or call chance from them. 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 euros altogether. i could have saved this money. i think that i'm forced to spend that. there's a problem with that's the problem for us. the child really have to do it every 3 or 4 years. the river needs to weigh my property. why do i cannot keep my savings that about in some sort of talk 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 a mom at the moment, but no one knows window moon. i will 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 anybody to school? i saw the teacher. what did he say? he said i should study hard. i invited him to our house. who did you see? because i think so, but check because though you go abroad 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

made? oh, well banana trees, right? whatever. and what did they put on this roster? that was it, that she and 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 node ford has also survived the monsoon. but now there's a lot to do in the fields. i mean, as husband, i see it, oh 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

other girl said that my father was a capital trader, as a child who 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 as 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, if a lot of people that as little so the we are poor child on the with the know do the girls get married off quite early, but at the end 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 because 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. ah, 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 grades the just because of, of the i don't think another bundle. no, no, no, no, no, that's enough. one more. 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 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 probably the last, you know, even further away. that was very exhausting. you 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 doing the 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 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. i'm supposed to do everything myself or what, who else? i can learn. what do i building? i was hoping that's at some point we would live on the mainland so that the children could go to school. you could do. you have assets there on the mainland, a fellow curious how well you don't want to give up your fields here. you also couldn't your job in the city just to plow on the charles all the time. but that's not enough for allowing it a negative 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 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 it out here. they may never give up this land. but to constance, remain the child shifting nature and the child us desire for security the

just a few years ago. this site in colinda tour, it was nothing more than an urban waste land. a woman with the vision transformed into something else under protection and we can get them to log in. start in the, on the particular on the, on the 2 on the other line and pretty funded on that and on ongoing, appear to go to challenging or to move from a dumpster to a green oasis, eco, india. in 30 minutes on d. w, you can wash. com, think i run better choose to have surgery for. yeah. you found this plastic surgery

going under the knife for beauty on yesterday, mom while i want to get a nose job or some other, i think his face is fine. there's plenty of potential for conflict when generations class us and them in 90 minutes, only d w the the world in progress. path calls to everyone who wants to know more about this topic. second son about this story is beyond the headline world in progress. the w cost cost the

this is the, the news live from berlin. the european union agrees fresh sanctions on russia and the aftermath of the death of russian president, alexei, nevada. only the u decides put more pressure on the kremlin for its invasion of ukraine. we look at whether previous sanctions are having an impact. also coming up almost 2 years on since russia waged war on ukraine. we take a look at just some of the carnage that the kremlin has inflicted on the country. and the conflict to me on mars bills over its borders of neighboring bangladesh or correspondence talks with some of the people who have endured the violence and last
