the danger of new avalon just has left some inhabitants of new ton and no option, but to leave their homes. climate displacement has become reality in switzerland. the francisco one bell again is mowing the lawn in front of her house in switzerland's bernie's overland one last time. her family has lived here in the village of gluten in 4 generations. but the moving boxes are already packed. she has been forced to leave for home is printing by flows of debris known as looking at rock slides from the surrounding mountains. these images taken from a surveillance camera and guten in, reveal the danger i can tell you cause and actually see much because of all the dust and miss jeanette. the weather was bad. it always is when things like this

happened who it was just before doc and it was eerie. there's hope you could hardly hear the roar of the water from all the rocks being pushed along a creek bed. the smell of tea, this was everywhere and thought that that had her house stands alongside the oh the river. there was once a small river bed here now some 20 meters of stone and debris have built up. the next flood could hit the houses to turn in would actually make a picture perfect postcard nestled amongst a tall mountains. the way switzerland likes to present themselves to tourists. a paradise for bikers hikers and mountain names. the nearby grooms old past offers day trippers and alpine panorama. to them no slip, he has no time to take in the scenery go. good tidings. religion mayor shows us

news. i know home that will never achieve 100 percent security evaluation coating. so mine in the one hand, it is fairly feasible, but technically and financially. so all the other golf and lightest, climate change long uncertainty about how things will develop in the future is quite high, locked into cold, done postilion come tens of thousands of cubic meters of debris had to be removed. not just from the protective wall here, but he ends aims to start a fresh despite knowing that catastrophes like this are coming more frequently. force with mountain towns or rethink is inevitable. but he took us all what. what does that mean to safety could no longer be assured. he said it took me in certain areas would come and use it will make a note for that. and that's all supplements, especially in highly exposed mountain region, is, might even have to be abundant. um for all mean den derek and the stock. explain you soon. abandon entire villages because climate change makes it too dangerous to

keep living there in nearby. a good turn in that decision has already been made. the houses here have been evacuated. francisco, one bag and, and her family will soon move further down in the valley into a new, safer home piece. don't support us with the fuel, right? so you can lease before something happens. it just shows how quickly something like that can take place. that's depending on the situation. you might not have time to react, i'm having a good many teeth in swiss l time towns residents no, no matter how i deal like it may look, there is no denying the forces of nature. let me introduce you to conclude new it's mailed and of a very special kind. he walks through the seat. yes, you heard that right to deliver letters and small parcels deliveries are dictated by the title schedule. allow it's new to traverse the class only,

enough, the mail stays where it is. can it can't deliver it? as long as it looks like this outside, they wouldn't be any mail. 6 hours later, the month slots cold vats in gym and are exposed the months. but my omen thinking sees rounds often takes to rest so long. locals rarely joined the trip. first, the guest scan horizons. where are we going? they want to know the rest of the tiny island of pseudo road the i need to make it to the 6 and a half kilometers away. we'll be there for an hour and then come back in the same way and be to the if we're lucky we all to end up with with. but some of the nothing had done. connote is happening, walking in line and doesn't try to convince anyone. when you,

shape full of people live on suitable mazda a father and 2 children, a phone and 3 times a week. community becomes part of the family to like a part time granted to know how to conceive this includes. the family is like family to us. as a father, there's no question i love when something's happening, when the children have that says, notice that to include him, a full sized christmas does a holiday enough, no lessons to play a tag, a know you're always, well, i don't have any children. so as far as that goes on, yeah. fell in love with pseudo rogue decades ago when he went to receive young construction with coastal protection syndrome are involved. i worked on the weeks over summer, so i just have a connection with the silent slip through the a brisk south west, the wind is picked up and the clouds gathering. but it's time to head back. they've got 6 and a half kilometers ahead of them across the month slides. how many kilometers have

you done? on the way around the globe? certainly $25000.00. so i want to do it for 10 more years now. i am turning 70. i hope to keep it up as long as i make my customer like or is there life without a cell phone? if you ask students in school, somebody look for an answer on their devices. according to the world health organization, more and more school age, kids in europe are struggling to put their smartphones aside. well, a school in the netherlands has found a solution to the problem. cell phones and tablets are banned, even during breaks. we've looked at the highest schools and asked them to see if this measure has improved for students, concentration and social interactions. this mo bile is getting locked

away for a while. it's a tight, this 12th grade german close to it by thomas peters is a phone free zone. for the school dice dogs, the students must leave the cell phones and the longer or higher that uses thumbs during lessons for year and, and student before phones, which sometimes ring during class as much my husband and i thought that was kind of uncomfortable and of, uh, on the side of boot frontage, zeta asked with, i don't know if it's useful says i've improved, but i don't know if that's down to my if it's all the phone but and then the full disease, anyone quote with a cell phone must surrender it. they weren't going to back until 5 pm, which is a real drag or they use when cost is finished. charlie la for mine hasn't been confiscated yet, but i'm also really careful. i don't want to have to stay till 5 o'clock and just because of my phone, so you need that to book cipher with the life of the bomb has been in place. the

hall for. yeah. so what's the students that have you as a job? it says there are fewer disruptions raise your hands, mostly in the reaction isn't 7 ccf stick the middle of a lot. after half a year's worth of experience, i have to say the students do concentrate much better during slot assistance. and so you want to extend the class, see it's much quieter and class and our fewer argument a mobile is where it comes to the problem is just making sure everyone's look like there is something. so you'd have to check at the door and say, put it away, it will be with the fault. and then there's resistance. unexcused. tional sage was placed 8 minutes of less than time of the class. i'm so tom stationed us from nazi i'm was one of the fast schools in the netherlands to complete the prohibits. so financing costs following adults. government initiatives p. well, not a legal requirement for schools. it's strongly recommended. studies done in spain and britain shows cell phones on this kind of improve concentration during lessons . that's especially true for the week of students says here from the to,

to help develop guidelines for the find on the field. the mobile cell phone apps like tick, tock and snap chatter are made to capture users attention august. in this industry, it's all about attention to the and that means one single teacher is up against the big tech firms and they're incredible wells and everything is so intelligent and psychologically designed to grab attention and keep it. so it's a losing battle cleared out. but it's not just about distractions. the social aspects, students are supposed to play in charleston past and knocked on the screens. so the bottom comes break times to it's smart to learn to deal with others without using science because today everything is online. to i check g, p t cetera. so we need to learn to get on with others and spend less time on alfonze. but not everyone follows the room. findings may files confiscated to full
