. recently torrential rain has been devastating. vast areas of central europe and africa. tropical storms caused death and destruction in asia. the caribbean, see is more and strong. the hurricanes this year have a will not ocean temperatures changing weather package as well as winds and raising sea levels inexorably good. a maria tomato is in her kitchen, up to her knees and water. her house now floods not only in the rainy season, but all the time. at high tide, the water flows into her house in the morning, but no, no longer recedes, at low tide, like it used to dislodge is everywhere, soiling the furniture, clothes, even food supplies, did the avoid. we hardly have anything left to eat. our livelihood is destroyed and
3:32 pm
we are not going to be. it is so difficult to cope. assisted because the flooding brings mud with it lays up and the pool, then the water comes up to here. the area on douglas, i knew it. we can sleep here kind of digging. yeah. i out. think of them. you know, how to do. she lives on the island of poor god. around 50 kilometers from the philippine capital manila seen from the air. it's a veritable water world. the streets and buildings are permanently flooded. the inhabitants are soaked. day in day out, most cannot afford to flee the island of the head of quite a devastating lea item. if you are before that's done it, then you don't stand a chance and then suddenly we want to find out why certain areas of the philippines
3:33 pm
are increasingly underwater. we meet up with ruez santos. he's 40 years old and remembers well what it was like to play in the streets here. back then. heavy flooding like this didn't exist, he tells us. but these days the inhabitants are busy, round the clock, trying to keep their homes dry. i'm gonna pick this, i'm going to be that the, i know the water levels are higher every year and about 5 said to me during so big a lot to in just a b as in good. when people build houses here, they have to raise the foundation every year. so it doesn't mean it but, but the so that the floods don't reach the height, they alone. i'm the one i ever say to the high seer that who god will gradually simply disappear from the map. so i've, i've got an all because of climate change that south like me to the philippines is one of the country's most affected by climate change and rising sea levels. there
3:34 pm
are no school buses and poor god. pruitt's, son to us, takes the children to school every day with his water taxi, climate change making for changing realities. if you ask politicians in the region like this may are, the reason for the flooding is clear. the flooding we are experiencing definitely comes from climate change every year we build, our house is higher and house to, but the water also continues to get gradually higher and higher. gradually, a climate researcher angelo deluxe, whose criticizes that many politicians are taking the situation seriously. they don't question their own decisions and are not doing enough multiple crisis are happening at the same time affecting the most vulnerable people. and yet at the same time we, i mean, our leaders, for example, would have those plastic,
3:35 pm
the $22.00 point, everything towards climate change. because if you say it's climate change it's, it's, and it's naturally to metro saying there's nothing we can do about it. a few kilometers away on the coast of how good noise rickshaw drivers also have to adapt to the changing conditions. their bikes are bigger, the seats higher up. so customers are staying dry for now. so i'm like, i know i make a living driving this. rick shaw it has to be higher because the area is constantly underwater. we simply need high risk shots, but the seats are lower. no one will book you. we've had high tide for a week now. sometimes it's even longer for a few days, it's dry and then there's flooding again. it goes on for weeks. how go? nobody has a lot of problems. climate change botched urban development. the exploitation of nature, the community borders on manila, and the capital is expanding. more and more people are moving here out of the city
3:36 pm
. the consequences are mangrove deforestation, restricted rivers, more ground water extraction. the problem the ground has been sinking for years, and sea levels here are rising even faster than the global average. land is even being reclaimed from the sea. middle as new airport is being built on an area where many fishermen had their fishing grounds. the go but i and it just had been, you know, many people say that the region around the new airport will profit go on that the people living there will be more prosperous a lot because i know about one guy and, and that's a little bundle or not but that'd be, but i also see the airport is one of the reasons for the water level being higher than it's been in the past and maybe lent it will be guy must be getting the most them about the land gains means that the sea has less space to expand the
3:37 pm
consequences. people living around manila are subjected to ever higher tides. everyone here feels abandoned by the authorities. they are already experiencing how their livelihoods are slowly sinking into the sea and seeing the dangers that awaits not only them in the coming years. the gun just thought we'd kind of base has many different names. the un estimates that more than 200000000 people worldwide to consume the illegal drug in recent years, kind of as has been legalized in some countries, mainly for medicinal purposes. we're on our way to western malawi, nevada to zambia is close by ever since the production of medicinal cannabis was
3:38 pm
legalized in 2020 malawi has been in a frenzy the government and many companies were promising small scale farmers. they could make a fortune, and so expensive licenses to thousands of them. in the meantime, vast expanses of fields are now full of cannabis plants. these 8 heck chairs belong to simon sent. his plans grew magnificently, but his hopes were bitterly disappointed to the company bosses who had pocketed his money and that of other farmers disappeared. they were meant to buy back the crop, but they didn't. and the money was gone. this has been the situation for over 3 years now. warehouse is bursting with cannabis. many farmers have lost all their savings. they pay the way and when it became clear that the company wasn't going to buy the harvest, it was a disaster. we've all lost a lot of money to that wouldn't be some sold their cars to be a part of it. others,
3:39 pm
their land and some even their houses. but the money was gone. what do you me up with a to thousands of farmers was swindled. it constitutes a crime, possibly corruption to the company in the growth wants to do better and establish a new distribution channel for the expensive we'd we want to find out more. but the state cannabis regulatory authority, henders us and our investigations wherever we go. the authority has already called and warned the farmers off the count of his company, inver grove, then withdrew our film and permit. it seems they don't want us to stir up anything, but many politicians are still singing. the praises of the magical plant tobacco is will always main export there. now hoping cannabis will prove as popular. i think it's a game changer because from the market research we check, i'd say good with the date. it was found out that level kind of the states could
3:40 pm
get us as high as $700.00 a exports. so i told you that that the bug was b. now i, toby, athletics and, but right now it's ending as i run. so i need immediate use it, so it's kind of these level kind of be so like you to get us 2 times 3 times as high as what the above is getting us now. so there is hope a meeting of the lease is that the cooperative north of the capital loan way. it's also a victim of the fraudulent cannabis companies. each of the 50 members of the cooperative had to pay the equivalent of $150.00 euros for the license. that's a huge amount of money in $1.00 of the poorest countries in africa, with a majority living on less than one euro, a day, whatever. but the women who in made the cooperative remain optimistic. oh, she took over and then let me see what i can meet with them. and you can do so many
3:41 pm
different things with the cannabis plans are gonna be see, for example, you can make medicine from that. and i'm i called for animal feet, which you can make clothes even. shoot the simple look at a sublet. you can use it for all sorts of things, didn't. i'm always the cannabis as an alternative to tobacco, to make money, and to bring foreign currency into the country. i mean, because of what is afford exempted. one of the members of the cooperative come together around 4 times a week to nurture and care for the delicate female have plants in the communal field. the rid it is a problem for the farmers. so they've created small cavities around the cannabis plants. if it does rain, the precious water can be kept longer. its hard work, but the prospects are tempting. the lake malawi is a vacation destination with a lot of potential. but without its own airport, the tourists likely won't come. and there's
3:42 pm
a lack of money for any kind of investment without solvents, companies from abroad. the prospects for growth will probably not amount to much local is here though, enjoy a holiday feeling. and it's not just due to the caribbean, reggae music, the cannabis plants grown here can hold their own when it comes to getting high. one of the strongest local canada strains in terms of t h. c is called black widow, the back to simon's farm on the border to them via the kind of as plants need water daily, as well as regular fertilizer and waiting. and even when they've been harvested, the sensitive plants still require a lot of care. they have to be turned over every hour so that every bit of
3:43 pm
moisture can evaporate. what you're doing. well, what are we the one mistake and you can lose your entire harvest a window, especially if the plants are still in the field and growing. what if, what you're telling me that though, for example, if you don't pull out the mail plans, the female plants will be fertilized and the entire crop will be ruined. you'll see that you, somebody, marijuana is very sensitive, but we're getting better and better, and acquiring more experience each year. so by now, it will send it over to the the problem here is not the farmers who make every effort with their plans. it's the corrupt companies that have disappeared with all the money. although hundreds of families have been driven to ruin. some have not given up. they know there was a huge global demand for top quality grass. hopefully, simon and the other farmers will ultimately succeed. as the kind of is from a law we is among the best in the world, the
3:44 pm
se, lima, and the day is getting off to a slow start. 6 am and light i'm out of guess is feeling sluggish. as she came home late from ballet light or worked on her homework until the early hours with her father, her head is often filled with that leg. he's always on my mind to training the light tonight. how will the performance be? what was the choreography again, that kind of thing, that the shoes donated? worn out. loved. ok, so, so i keep them the memorabilia of something to form and it shows up and has a sample into one s. valet is rather exotic here. light is parents work long

a series of challenges for family left germany before world war 2 and had to start from scratch. a stroke of fate plunged from prosperity into poverty. the theatre where it all began for the 60 year old, burned to the ground, but valet remained to give her the strength to cope with the rigors of life. with a lot that you can't explode on the stage and say this, and i can't do this anymore. you can't wait, they don't know, but what happens here is also so beautiful that mean, so you forget the pain goes to load it on the fly. no money government is usually running late or students are waiting light or travels from the rundown east to the smart west of lima. she would never
3:47 pm
