>> this week, on global 3000, we go to ethiopia. we had to new york. it is a city becoming the domain of the super-rich. we visit india, where a quarter of the population has been hit with droughts. our planet is experiencing crazy weather, at the moment. india has been hard-hit. it is home to 18% of the world's population and has only 4% of the world water resources. 330 million people there are suffering the effects of heat wave and drought.

last year's monsoon has left lakes and rivers dry. 17,000 villages are without access to water. >> every morning and evening, they walked to the watering hole. after half an hour, it is empty. people do not normally pay for water here. the wells dried up long ago. it has not rained her for three years. to the crops of failed. -- the crops failed. >> we went into debt. he could not pay back the money. it was too much for him. >> a few months ago, he killed himself.

six of her neighbors have done the same. the region has been hit with suicides. she is trying to survive with her daughter and mother in law. >> this is the worst drought i have ever experienced. there have always been dry spells. at least food was cheap. everything here is expensive. the death of my son is a mountain on my chest and i am sad for my daughter-in-law. >> families receive a sum from the state, when a member dies. the only options can be a moneylender. they have had to leave more and more animals to fend for themselves.

there is emergency drinking water for the villagers. they say the trucks must come more often. >> the trucks come from far away and they reach here every 15 days and we get 1-2 jugs of water. there used to be water here in the village. we do not know where it is gone. >> it is not just the failure of it is homegrown. a great deal of sugarcane is cultivated in the district. the farmers have benefited little. to irrigate the fields, they ha ve dug wells.

>> you cannot blame them for using this so aggressively. they took up sugarcane. sugarcane uses huge amounts of water. >> this watering hole shows all that remains of the large river. it was left to itself. a project was begun to remove the silt and revive the river. many of the farmers have sunk the last of their money into the project and hope that, when the rain returns, there will be water. >> we have to look for long -term solutions. if the monsoon fails, we will need emergency supplies.

if we restore the storage capacity of the river, we can solve the problem, long-term. >> it will take time and rain. more and more migrant workers will be leaving me drought belt. -- the drought belt. we see people fleeing the drought. it is the largest migration and 50 years. we look for the -- in 50 years. we look for the family. this is where they are said to have fled from the money lenders. we find them and they are desperate. >> we cannot go back to the village. the money lenders are waiting for me and there is not enough work.

i do not know if i want to go on living. what should i do? i am under so much pressure. so many have come from the villages and there is not enough work for all of us. >> the hopes for a better future are running out. there is no escape from the money lenders. they phone relentlessly. the family does not care that the creditors ceased to the farm. -- siezed the farm.without water, it is useless . >> we need people who are determined to solve biodiversity.

we are on the western border of manu national park. >> we have driven to this remote region. we have to continue up to elevation of 2600 meters. we want to find out more about the shy animal in manu national park. >> the bear is typical of this range. there are many different ecosystems here. we call this be "the gardener of the forestar, -- this bear, "the

gardener of the forest." it eats a lot of fruit. >> what is special about the forest is that they sometimes have a tropical or alpine character, depending on the light, heat, and water that they get. she is researching the life of the spectacled bear. she installs camera traps on trails the incas used. the bears would rather use the trails, rather than fight their way through the vegetation. you can find the evidence of them. >> here are marks from a bear who climbed into this tree. you can see exactly where he clawed. this one is even better.

the four claws latched on here. here is his droppings. you see the seeds. they are everywhere. it is all still here. >> there are said to be under 25000 bears left in south america. the habitat is diminishing. the bears are rare. it is hard to find out anything about their habits. you need intuition and lock. these marks are from a young animal. he likes to climb, to build a nest or get a view. on this day, he returned when it

was dark. in the evening, her team evaluates the pictures. the old acquaintance shows up. he keeps away from humans, but loves cornfields. roxanna goes 2800 meters to gather the evidence. >> let's take a look at this. here are a few of the marks that show how the bear eats. he does it, just as we do. he uses his paws and removes it with his claws. you can see the marks here, for

example. he has opened up the cob forcefully. as you see, it is picked clean. the bear has eaten everything. >> he could not resist the smell and ate his fill at the farmer's expense. the next time he visits, he will find the smell of the field to be repellent. there will be a smell of chili peppers. he uses his sense of smell and he will find that repulsive. they know that he migrates far and wide and will find on another cornfield.

with local farmers, roxana and her team have to find ways to avoid conflict with wild animals. it is not popular to avoid conflict, when the farmers are struggling to survive. >> i have to say, the bear reduces the yields. it wouldn't bother me, if they went elsewhere. it is a lot of work to make sure he does not do any damage. >> the project offers an alternative to farming, in order to avoid future conflicts with wild animals.

weaving is an art the interests designers and boutiques. one project enables women to sell textiles at a profit. >> they can depict the biosphere in textiles, especially the animals you find here. every pattern, every textile, it reflects their lives. they present a picture of the reserve and the wildlife. >> manu is one of the most biodiverse parks. contact with wildlife is not always artistic inspiration. >> to contact leads to friction. let's say a farm animal disappears or dies.

table blame the bears or the pu -- they will blame the bears or the pumas. it breeds a certain amount of resentment in humans. >> the resentment cannot be allowed to lead to the extinction of a viable species. -- a valuable species. >> rental and real estate prices have tripled our around the world. low interest rates have revived the property market's attraction for investors. the less well off our suffering the most in the -- well-off are suffering the most. new york has become simply unaffordable for many. >> riding through manhattan in a black rolls-royce. it costs a couple hundred

thousand euros. michael is not daunted iv price tag. -- by the price tag. he came to new york in 1995 with $3000. >> some random lady said, let me try this out. i did $15 billion worth of property in the early 2000's. >> he attributes his success to hard work and is available to his customers. he deals with high end luxury apartments. one of them is right here.

>> i will show you from the other side. there is nowhere to develop here. >> a private museum is being built. it is designed by peter marino. no two apartments will be a light. they will be exclusive for the rich. >> how much will it be? >> price on request. if you have to ask, you shouldn't be buying. you do not talk about money. you just wire the money. >> here, luxury apartments are going to be constructed. the affordable apartments become nonexistent in the city.

in northern manhattan, we visit an organization that advocates for apartment owners who can no longer afford to live in their homes. >> right now, i would say there is a crisis in new york. housing is what we deal with. for a single individual, they need to be making close to six figures to afford apartment. we have been talking about 300 square foot apartments for $3000 a month. he says that $60,000 a year is being part of the working poor in new york. >> this is embarrassing. >> marcia is an apartment owner. she can no longer afford it and is at risk of being kicked out.

>> that's right, the maintenance goes up. working-class families cannot afford to pay the maintenance. you end up with cooperative apartments that people have to sell, because the maintenance has gotten to a point they cannot afford. >> we met with a real estate agent for people who are regarded as middle-class. we asked for a typical apartment for a family of four. it is about 140 square meters. the bathroom has seen better days. poorly-insulated windows. he shows us a special amenity, a washing machine. >> the washer-dryer is a luxury. these buildings are not made to

take the washer-dryer. this is $7500 a month. jed calculates the annual income . >> you should make 40 times the rent. so, $300,000 would qualify you for this apartment. >> figures like these have been driving natives out of the city. they can no longer afford to live in their hometown. for michael, it is logical. >> there were people coming from

this part and that part. you felt that new york belongs to new yorkers. new york along to the world. there are a tremendous amount of hires from china, north korea. there is no more a local buyer. michael shows us his apartment. original artwork from andy warhol. they have just become parents and they want to expand the living space. they bought the apartment next door. the view of the city is fantastic. it is a city that belong to the rich and no longer to new yorkers. >> now, we will meet a

successful and impressive ethiopian -- this project has been financed by funds from the u.k.. she started up in 2013 -- they started up in 2013, singing about child marriage and lack of opportunities for ethiopian girls. many leave school without qualifications. 76% of the fans have been persuaded to take up education. 84% believe that the band makes them more confident. mission accomplished. >> the successful band's name means, "ours."

they want to belong. >> our lyrics have deep meanings and they are affirmative. we address important issues. >> they do not just make music. they have a talk show and a radio drama. each one plays a certain character. there is the ambitious one, the music lover, the street-child, the city girl, and the maternal one. everything is intensively repaired -- prepared. >> it is important that we write a script after visiting a place. we do field research to tell the true story.

there is also a workshop that we went to in person to understand how they really feel and the kind of life they live. >> each problem is based on reality. domestic violence, forced marriage, poverty. these are issues that many girls in ethiopia can deal -- can relate with. this work has changed her. >> i see a woman on the street with these problems and i go up to her and try to speak with her. everything begins at home and it begins with respect for your family, your sister. this is changed me in many ways. >> the band has been all over ethiopia and has become real celebrities.

the work reaches millions of listeners. they are still down to earth and like to have regular contact with their fans. >> i want to be happy, like them. everything about them makes me happy. >> for them, this is where they come in and he plays a male friend who works with the girls. they reach male listeners. >> i heard that many women and mothers get heard, my attitude changed. i did not know women were getting raped. the times of changed. even mothers are getting beaten and raped.

>> the group members are excited about their friends. >> in the effort to support refugees, she decide to set of a social business alongside her day job to help syrian women provide for their families. that is all from the global 3004 today. we hope that you will join us next week. we look for to hearing from you.

steves: gibraltar stands like a fortress, a gateway to the mediterranean. a stubborn little piece of old england, it's one of the last bits of a british empire that at one time controlled a quarter of the planet. the rock itself seems to represent stability and power. and as if to remind visitors that they've left spain and entered the united kingdom, international flights land on this airstrip, which runs along the border. car traffic has to stop for each plane. still, entering gibraltar is far easier today than back when franco blockaded this border. from the late 1960s until the '80s, the only way in was by sea or air. now you just have to wait for the plane to taxi by,

and bob's your uncle. the sea once reached these ramparts. a modern development grows into the harbor, and today half the city is built upon reclaimed land. gibraltar's old town is long and skinny, with one main street. gibraltarians are a proud bunch, remaining steadfastly loyal to britain. its 30,000 residents vote overwhelmingly to continue as a self-governing british dependency. within a generation, the economy has gone from one dominated by the military to one based on tourism. but it's much more than sunburned brits on holiday. gibraltar is a crossroads community with a jumble of muslims, jews, hindus, and italians joining the english, and all crowded together at the base of this mighty rock. with its strategic setting, gibraltar has an illustrious military history, and remnants of its martial past are everywhere.

the rock is honeycombed with tunnels. many were blasted out by the brits in napoleonic times. during world war ii, britain drilled 30 more miles of tunnels. the 100-ton gun is one of many cannon that both protected gibraltar and controlled shipping in the strait. a cable car whisks visitors from downtown to the rock's 14,000-foot summit. from the top of the rock, spain's costa del sol arcs eastward, and 15 miles across the hazy strait of gibraltar, the shores of morocco beckon. these cliffs and those over in africa created what ancient societies in the mediterranean world called the pillars of hercules. for centuries, they were the foreboding gateway to the unknown. descending the rock, whether you like it or not, you'll meet the famous apes of gibraltar. 200 of these mischief-makers entertain tourists.

and with all the visitors, they're bold, and they get their way. yeah? you can have it. you can -- you can -- you can -- here on the rock of gibraltar, the locals are very friendly, but give them your apples. legend has it that as long as these apes are here, the british will stay in gibraltar.
