says are affecting people at armando, you can also find much more news analysis and video on a website that is the top the com. i read them a homage that's watching all faces by the not just another day. so much is happening all at once. we take time to understand this is the day i'm in, that's look at current use events, analyzed by experts and critical thinking is weekdays on d, w the

beneath the scorching sun to peasants. take a break while working a field. it's hard talk more in the past. oral setting makes an obvious point. eat and work never did mix well. the women go painted this work in 1889. the world had already unconsciously started a new climate age the the age of unprecedented global warming. the most recent years have been the warmest that have ever been on record. the climate change is threatening the health of millions of workers who are directly exposed to the heat. once more, it produces their productivity and brings into question the conventional model of

growth. to always produce more, faster the warming climate is reaching an insurmountable limit. the balance set by the human body. can we keep working as we always have in a hotter world? and at what price? the summer temperatures and contacts are regularly higher than 45 degrees celsius. in

recent decades, the countries climate as heated up at a rate almost twice because of a leverage. at the same time, the em or it is undergoing unprecedented development, has gone from a country with a small capital to a place that has in less than a decade created itself as a global destination for sports and culture construction and pop out it is that the technological cutting edge it is some of the most sophisticated, innovative, and vicious construction and design anywhere in the world. the whole country is a construction site and many businesses to help their technical mastery. building ever higher and quicker. under extreme conditions, the cuts are relies on migrant

workers to realize these lofty plans, the 94 percent of the country is workers are for the most come from the indian subcontinent. se, asia and africa, the low wage workers, who despite the enter, it's recent reforms are still treated poorly by their employers. and workers were referred to by managers and others as not just on scale, but for quality and just bodies. natasha is calendar is one of the few independent researchers who received approval to visit katara construction sites for almost a year. the professor of urban planned and closely observed the daily life of the construction workers. i asked workers consistently, what was the most difficult part of their job,

but they never describe to a delay in the payment of wages. they didn't refer to long hours. they didn't refer to degrading behavior by their supervisors uniform, late to a man. they spoke about, he being the most difficult part of their jobs. men described it as a feeling of drowning that you're drowning in the air that the, the sky was mounting and you couldn't breathe or that the sky was pressing down on them. it was for workers the most difficult, dangerous, and disempowering challenge that they felt at the work site barn on the. but the way it acts on the body is often very difficult to discern

the highest the heat stress levels. so you actually get, have direct effects on so on the brain. so the workers cannot think here is a normally and that increases the risk of accidents and they might fall off of building and die even because of the effect on the brain. the

winds, the comstock were returned home. he couldn't say anything about the working conditions and co. tar. neither did his lifeless body betray what he was forced to bear in the heat the every day in the hall. another village more is the tragic death of one of these voiceless migrant workers. the disciplined complex father works for a construction company doing different types of jobs. sometimes carpentry,

sometimes plumbing, like the things that he ended up doing, all sorts of working from the government the day. the material is the test. and when he called and told us about the working conditions, he always complained about the heat. notice. so he often told me about it on the phone, and they said, how hard the heat was on him. deal for the the fake con southcourt went to college, hard to earn money to pay for his daughter's wedding. in his son's education you will never get to see his children grow up the, the atlanta. i mean that co worker of is called me and said, your father is dead. it tells me that he was working high up now,

and then he had to repair a pipe. and then he fell off. i'm glad that you opened that. nobody was there when the accident happened income limit of like i found it in the love yet. some colleagues came a few minutes later and found them unconscious on the ground. low. it's okay. you can't down by the time you they took him to the hospital, but at that time that'd be awesome to where he was pronounced in love. yeah, let's be done on the database, so you're good to the the, the only official information fee cons family has or a few words on his death certificate. the cause of death. acute respiratory failure. nothing indicates what might have caused him to stop reading. although they were told there would be further investigations. the family

has heard nothing since something that has become sadly a standard for guest workers from nepal. the during the last decade, the engine co fair square estimates that more than $3000.00 employees, migrant workers have died in the gulf states. the one of every 2 cases remains unexplained. the officially it's called acute respiratory or heart failure on paper, on natural cause of death. the, nobody knows like, what natural effects actually ease, you know, our understanding of that sort of, that is like, you know, when you have all these and when you die. and that's really, that should be the natural that. but then are 25 years for the guy who's like magically certified by the government of nipple as a, you know, uh as

a healthy and a fit can do that for like doing all sort of a manual jobs in the countries like goals, you know, like suddenly dies and nobody knows the reason this is a suspicious that we need to like investigate that the every day. 1500 and they probably make an workers or leave this country from countries like golfing and militia to find appropriate jobs for themselves and a better life for the family members. the same international airport welcomes the dead body off the mind. gonna work best for deep in ever is, you know, wrapped in the wooden boxes, the

default victim to the extreme climate in the gulf states was the real cause of death, extreme heat, the part goes through as a leading expert on heat stress in 2019 we contributed to a study about suspicious depths of net police workers and contacts. we actually looked at every month, because if you look at to do just that test takes over the whole year, and you have cooling mountains. you have hoffman's and you actually can see the difference between the different parts of this vehicle and show. and this is hatch that during the hottest moms. the card you of asked the heart. this is this, the 3 to 4 times higher than doing the coolest miles. and this could not be expected to happen from any of the race and then the extreme heat that the

workers were working in during the hot months. the for several years, the curve of fatalities was nearly parallel to the seasonal temperature curves. the higher the temperature, the more fatalities there were. each winter things improved. but then in the spring, the numbers of death throes again, the newer response to criticism quotes are passed a law to protect workers from the heat. the up on may not government to talk about the has decided to forbid working outdoors sometimes have died during the summer months possible. i made a walk for the admin fee,

the hot tub. the law states that from june to september, it's forbidden to work outside from 10 am to 3 30 pm at 10 am sharp to work on the construction side of this company, and they want to show us they are in compliance with the rules. employers are now required to have and implemented prevention plan to combat the risk of heat stress. you know, during the very high heat times we have the black flag, which means is the old words and all the other one is the safety 1st. and then if you have the red flag, which is a precaution saying that varying the physical area which is $39.00 to $53.00 degrees, it is we need to make a 10 minute dress for all. and then we have the yellow flag,

which is $32.00 to $38.00 degrees, which is 7 minutes per hour. and then the green flag, we just went $731.00 degrees. it's the normal working out today on the disk on the issue. we have the red flag on this the company recommends their workers take regular short breaks, but it's not a legal requirement. kentoria authorities require employers to use a w, b, g t. for whitfield, clothing for a moment are showing more than just the temperature. it supplies precise data to specifically show the heat stress that will work or is being exposed to that monitors air, temperature, humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation. according to international standards at $28.00 degrees and upwards on a v g t. there was a health risk for even moderate physical activity. and at about $32.00 degrees w g,

b, t. the risk of death increases sharply. with right now, 34 and 700 this conditions. and when it reaches, go to point one, that raises the level, the sides are shop down. so with all the neighbors are allowed to work, you know, off on september 15th, at 10 o. 5 am. the heat and cut are still poses a deadly threat to people working outdoors. even though the summer work regulations are soon coming to an end. in the mornings, companies can let their employees work outside without breaks. as long as the v g t limit of 32 point one degrees isn't exceeded the but the day is far from over for the workers. they have to wait and this air condition, the cafeteria until work starts again in 5 and a half hours. it is in some ways,

one of the most protective examples of heat legislation anywhere in the world. however, the legislation, as is today, does not fully protect workers. it does not take into account that workers do not have the autonomy to self paste. they cannot exercise their right to rest as needed to cool down as needed. that time, pressures to complete this work are intensive, and the supervisory pressures to work at an accelerated pace. how workers experience he, how they're able to protect themselves from he and how they suffer harm from. he is absolutely a matter of power dynamics on the work side. and this goes beyond whether or not companies are offering enough water points or cooling stations. it goes beyond that,

[000:00:00;00] the, even with the most limited time of change by the end of the century, the of a $100000000.00 people living in the areas with such faith as to hop this then at least at the moment. and if we assume that the temperature increase would continue at the right that we are currently increasing it, that would be $700000000.00 people in the hottest areas the,

the planet warren is my 2 degrees celsius. and 15 times more people worldwide will be exposed to extreme heat and humidity the it's really hot in nicaragua, between march and may. during these months, the sugarcane harvest is in full swing. most men in this region work for the sugar industry. so source to live, at least for a few decades now in academic has been ravaging the ranks of outdoor workers. it could be the 1st occupational disease caused by climate change. the village of lot,

east lock is surrounded by sugar cane fields. it's known as the island of widows, the more than $300.00 women have lost their husbands. here. they all died of the same mysterious illness or liked any and we didn't have any other choice. i mean, which was the only job when i saw how many people were dying of this disease and me and i knew one day, it would be my turn to way ahead of the other. what that answer your question, the single most definitely most of my relatives have it to me and my brothers are also sick. our my younger brother has to have dialysis, like we met at the back only way and most of them are on the cane. feels that i might have bought it to see we all worked hard there. the thought though and how and like i knew santa she just been born then that's why you all talk to me and talk to my daughter about

a 100 and this is the family. i mean 38 year old and this and martinez survived. he suffers from chronic renal failure 3 dialysis sessions each week have left their marks on his arm. but they keep him alive. now you really counsel me. i will not let me down. we didn't have any breaks or even any works or not. i like, i'm me. so switching the whole time to come up with my shorts was soaking through my trousers to one of everything. i guess he hung up or download the boat as a pressure to resume and say are young it's you don't stop and keep going out. and so we can work like that. no. yeah, king my best they want to come by after i saw how many co workers coming to town got fevers i threw up and then when they were in the field in a way that i had, i think then one day the company said get, does it yeah,

you come to work here anymore and we are not allowed in 1st to save away and then your nothing to them is ending up one second. all the sudden would die within a few days without the dialysis. and this treatment will extend his life by 15 years at best. the others in the region didn't get the treatment at all. in the neighboring town of gigi got it. over half of men's debts have been attributed to chronic renal failure, the residents have long since become used to the side of the hearse. just as they are of the trucks that take sugarcane to the sugar plant of industry, giants, san antonio,

the they've produced close to half of nicaragua, in sugar, and also the world famous rum, florida gun. you. the san antonio is the biggest employer in town, in 2007 jason glass or witnessed a human tragedy at the gates of the company. and shoot you guys by the class or comes from the us. you originally came to make a documentary about the banana industry. the this is, this is the situation here. yeah. yeah. feels about right as long time ago, the 1st encounter there was a protest cancel banana workers in front of the national assembly. and they had

told us to talk the sugarcane workers that were there. they told us we came, workers were dying, have to get up there. this kenny disease, we think it's pesticides, we think you know something is killing us. please check it out. so we came up here to check it out and we came across this completely here, e theme. gloves don't. these are the picket lines of the king, field workers, a protest group in front of the gates, a line of national police in front of the gates. there clearly been a scuffle that somebody faces and some unhappiness going on. the, on the, on the name of what the law setup, an association it for years of it on one of the 460 minutes about group it's done. this is a risk busy, so the tower said the trees already fly over a bump. you might have to build a 2nd while you're in stock numbers on the phone. all right,

kyle said ok. yeah. let me go find a bottle. what's my problem? what's the problem? fire and so the cost, it turned out the car information gave it to a private company security. and the private company called their p. r. firm in miami 1st and our seller and brought them our seller called us and they cannot log on. and told us there's nothing to see here and you said move on your way youngsters. and we were like, there's clearly something to see here. jason glass or state interest, you got it for several months and documented the devastating extent of the illness . and it was so on the present at that point, the disease that is no exaggeration to say that every single day there were one or more people. and you start really wondering like, well, what can i do like i can't just go home, you know,

so we have to do something the jason left his career as a documentary filmmaker so he could work to protect harvest labourers, established in n g o, not e slot, got a masters degree and epidemiology, and gathered a team of researchers together. assign yourself what are, what, how many years have you been working with pesticides? so the 5 years. okay, let me think one for 5 years down the for to be in, in that one piece of mind, where do you get your drinking water near enough the way from you as a team or from your own? well, for the person i drink the discipline walter, who is going to send me the next person, please. not the front of people would say is from pesticides. some or besides, it was from existing ground toxins. it might be the whole chain of the volcano, the only effected young working age man. it was in the water,

but the water only affected young working age man. um, it was about looking through happen to be a logical data. physiological studies anecdotal reports what seems to be the through line and the commonality with who's affected and how severely they are affected. and it all became very clear that the occupational setting was the main issue. those doing the heaviest jobs were the 2nd the heat doesn't just come from the sun, but from the bodies of the cutters as well. their muscles are working at full speed . they produce their own more on top of the ambient temperature. working outside increases thermal stress, which in turn further increases the difficulty of the work. the cutters take few breaks to drink and rest in the shade. they are paid by how much they can cut or the pressure to work at the top speed means the risk of renal damage is 12 times as high as it is for their overseers, for subject to the same claim at,

at conditions professionally pernicious. because your body is desperately telling you to relax, to calm down, but you have to survive, you have to provide for your family. so you'll override all those signals and animal will take a break. human being pushes on through this, these antiquated labor systems that are fundamentally based on slavery that have not a fault with the protections we expect in other settings and sectors. the still existing colonial system has ignored these climate conditions. instead, it pushes the widespread misconception that he causes one to be lazy. and there are 2 ways to deal with laziness, either with the carrot or the stick,

the more than 3 decades ago in neighboring el salvador, a dr. sounded the alarm because of the extent of the epidemic bodies closely. we've got more than 6000 dialysis patients in the country. and we believe for each one can i suppose it's a $10.00 to $15.00 people are in other stages of greenland sufficiency. if you do the math, that's a norm us. what to begin with. so like i do the, the condo, li, if i'm eddie. no, isn't it for ologist and a senior doctor at the nurse through non real scientists hospital in salvador city . he was one of the 1st doctors to take a closer look at the illness. and i'm on the left. the minute goes to the in the and then in that the i've it, this will give it diabetes at the is the most common cause of the clinic, greenland sufficiency, worldwide and of united, followed by high blood pressure and presented to the end of the 1994, when we saw

a more and more young mild patients came from farming regency and they call to us as one's found in these places. yeah, now the crop the sugar guided remained to see him, but occasionally as okay, they didn't see the inconvenience national epidemiological profile or did i go to the beneficent in the middle of the community yet? because of it's a typical profile. the disease was named chronic kidney disease of non traditional origin, but the patients here call it creating that's because korea mean clearance is the blood test value that shows whether your kidneys are working or not. but my know seems to me, well these patients don't have symptoms for many years and only come to the hospital when they're in the phone stages mental practically when they're at the point of needing dialysis. we cannot kids. and once i read linda sufficiency,

that comes quietly and then like as when i left dougherty, i could to name ok. place the fact one of us theories or because the risk factors such as repeated he struck over what i assume the hydration saying it was minus the damage to the kidneys that goes on. notice, you know that these people are likely lose to hard rock. don't immediately notice what it's doing to the house, no thing, and whatever, but it was your email yet. but when they were in these conditions of a many, yes, then in for that, then that could be what's causing this disease. because of it, it's estimated the epidemic has killed tens of thousands of people in the last 2 decades. during the last 15 years, it's been observed in all central american countries above all in regents with the highest temperatures and humidity levels. a bite. so the interesting thing about this map is you see the correlation between

the disease and the hot regions and the lowlands. whether it's the most intensive labor, so if you look at the blue dots, this is where you highlight the really high intensive and dense cane production. so this isn't like some our total farm and where you see the red and yellow and this is kind of the relative kenny disease burden on the health system of these countries. you do not see it in the highlands where there's intensive labor where it's cooling and you don't see it, whether it's less intensive work in the hot owens. so it's just that intersection of extremely heavy labor and extremely high temperatures. the epidemic coincides with the expansion of intensive agriculture in central america, which is being driven by rising global demand for agricultural products. at the same time, the climate has warmed by more than one degree celsius and the number of days of extreme heat during the harvest as tripled. but as we expanded the network,

as we increase the studies and we move to different countries, we began to see that really anywhere that was too hot and the work was too heavy. and there were no protection to solve this. the . here's a database that we have. one person is a 32 year old meal. yeah. and the other person is 36 year old males and like young, we don't know how long they have been on dialysis or like how they both left healthy. yes. yeah. and i have older jason glass or has gone to nepal to do more research a pc, or is migrant workers from nepal, who have gone to work in the extreme heat of the gulf. states also have kidney

damage. his net police research colleagues, sweet tech corolla and shy lando sharma share his concerns. service active this week is to try to assess what the situation is in depaul. i mean what the situation seems to be. we know people have not come back to died abroad, but also seems that many workers who have come back are sick with kidney disease and they're healthy before they left. a many of them face conditions, very similar in terms of heavy work and high see like what we've seen in central america. and our goal is to kind of characterize what's going on with clinical level, but also in the population level in the communities, but also really understand what the burden is on the health system. because no country can afford a provider. and so you, diocese, patients, unbelievably expensive. certainly not in the fall. the

corner was once a migrant worker in the gulf states, i installed air conditioners into by the 5 years ago, he suddenly returned to nepal due to chronic kidney in sufficiency, the city i went in and wouldn't mind getting audio. and then i'm going to have the money, i'm like you to keep new problems because the one they don't make. so do by this was doing his regular screening. they found he had a pretty thorough examination and they found his blood pressure was high. and that, and the physician who was screening him, prescribed him some blood pressure medications and didn't tell him much. so he went back to work. and later in the day he got a phone call and kind of back and forth, back and forth. and he called physicians telling him over the phone that you have to come because your kidneys are feeling when they told him that he gives you a feeling like you know what it meant. they also added that you need to go back to the bottom. right. that's what, right,

yeah. like you're now good to us anymore. you're going home as of monday morning because it was like the story of like someone not realizing until they felt tired or like a random check for the class and there and stays 5 or at best for like this is a story like every sugar cane work or unless they're getting scammed, it's just awful. like let's again and again what we see. so it's very similar. it's like out and disturbing. like similar, the exporting labor to warmer countries is a key pillar of in the policy economy. more than a quarter of its gross domestic product can be traced to the money workers earned in places like the gulf states and malaysia. margaret labor brings in money, but it comes at

a higher price. the doctor, re she costly, isn't it for ologist? during recent years, the beds that his hospital had been filling up with young men who returned from warmer countries. with kidney failure, the formation became a diabetic cones get more equipment, nothing start from technicians on such short notice i give you to put in some patients. there's not even room for the new toner bony. the net police government recently said it was prepared to take over the costs of dialysis for all patients without means what it's on certain whether the country can afford it. last night. i must have yeah. wasn't on. when i talk to these people,

why usually don't quit your when you weren't even sure. yeah. you raise your so you're healthy at the one doesn't need it. you will be going to take became sick means the incidence will fit kid off you too much. why the use williams is limited to goes. why he's a redone without anything. why this? because do not be this is, this is what i don't understand why the gulf states are very rich countries have. and then these people get sick and they send them back and it's the poor country. and the 4 people that shoulder, the burden of their development can be what he's doing, leaving. so he's better than treatment. i mean, something's better than to exploit is to put him in some way these believe himself . so this really is a pandemic. there's a global disease. and again, it's affecting the people on the bottom rung to do the most necessary jobs. and

they've always been viewed as disposable. the higher the, their ladies list, the after years of denial and resistance, the san antonio company opens its door for jason and his team, the, the sugar processing plant. finally, it limits the working conditions, harm. it's labors. now with the n g or the east side, the company is working out of research and prevention programs to combat heat stress.

the always head hardest are harvest workers who cut burnt of sugar cane? burning the crop makes it easier to cut, but the ground is still hot. this further increases the stress on the workers. the strategies for protecting them are as effective as they are simple. the rest say, hydration. but the really important part of it is that the rest are mandated so you can be completely hydrated, start the hypothermic music, meaning too much heat in your body, and still have damage. and that's what people really didn't understand. they were conflicting that for years. so to have the mandated breaks to make sure that core temperature gets down and you can keep an average over the work day,

that's more reasonable the cutters take up to 20 minute breaks per hour and go home at noon. the strictly regulated working temple was inspired by athletic training 3 years ago when we were just assessing it about 10 percent of these guys are going to the hospital every harvest. and we've brought that down to like point 5 or point one like almost completely eliminated. hospitalized secure can injury. so we know that if you can stop and you can andry, you can stop the disease, hopefully and that's tracks. so rest said water was this epidemic preventable? a good simple breaks in sufficient hydration have done the job. not useless research results to support this, but they also show that millions of workers worldwide are exposed to the same

threat. in a warming world, people see a lot of risk and that's understandable. there is a lot of risk, but there's also an enormous amount of opportunity to, to change how we organize, work to change how we value people. we can actually save both industry and government a ton of money by making sure people don't get sick. what will be the place of workers worked indispensable to our economy and the new climate age? will they be valued less because he makes them less productive and who will pay the price of protecting them? what is clear is their situation depends more than ever on how well we take care of our planet,

the they, to the hudson's euro, and see russia as their enemy. many young people in georgia have positioned themselves against the pro russian government. and since an opportunity in the upcoming parliamentary elections, what they want for the country is true. independence focus on europe

in 30 minutes on the w rushes economy is growing just place across the whole and sanctions against the country. there's a 2 percent growth, even though natural gas exports have fallen drastically. so what's driving this? and what role does china play? we're taking a closer look made into many in 90 minutes on d, w, the w. this is everything off. it is available to them and it has never been sent to them. and the only way i can be on the top is to create my own empire,

discover stories to just to click away the during the destination. right. size based document trees before slide. now. okay, name treat the this is, these are the names and these are the top stories you need as in brussels. have called for a humanitarian pools. in garza, i said there are poles by the loss of civilian life counseling to show us. michelle has also called on israel, not to and so the southern city of rough uh, edi does have also endorsed a proposal by the blog to use frozen russian assets to buy munition for ukraine, top us diplomat times me blinking as wants that and is there any offensive into the
