>> welcome to global 3000. no job, no h home. the coronavirus pandemic is pushing the poorest to the brink, even in wealthier nations like japan. no rain in sight. drought is a big problem for farmers in germany. what's behind it? but first, we hehead to the amazonon, where the brazilian forestry commission is putting up a fight against a powerful timber lobby.. ever heard of flflying rivers? this the movement of large quantities of water vapor

released into the atmosphere by the amazon rainforest, which causes preciptptation across south america and is key to the health of our climate. a single tree with a crown diameter of, say, 10 metres releases up to 300 liters of water in the form of vapor into the atmosphere every day. on a sunny day, the same tree will absorb up to 10,000 liters of co2 and transform it into oxygen. the amazon rainforest is home to tens of thousands of plant and animal species as well as 320 indigenous peoples. but for how much longer? logging is on the rise. in 2019, twice as much timber was felled here than in 2018. and since e the coronavivirs pandemic began, illegal loggers have become increasingly ruthless. >> idoesn't t just look lilikea wawar. it is onene. d d it's larargely taking plae ununder e covever the denen

>> the i illegal prospectors lt eir weaps bebehind. most fleled from the f federal authitieies. but for the indigenous peopl ose e landhey dedesty, theyy are a deadadly danger. across brarazil, indigenenos peoples are trying desrarately to i isola themsmsels by building fences, not u usually part of theieir culture. they frequently suff f from impoed infnfecous disesees to which they have no immunity. first, the illegal loggegers, w coronavirus. the indigenous peoples are afafid. > they trespapass onto our d and exoit ouour naturall resources.s. the e government g goes ong wih it. they also want our resouource. itit all the more difficult wiwith the virusus. there go -- >> b brazil's indigenousus peoples feeeel abandoned byby a governmenent a presidenent who they s say disrespect their cultu.. the e karina triribeas almosos

these images from nasa show how rapidly our planet has been heing up. above average temperatatures ae shown red. according toto the u more e thn 40 percent of our planet is made up of dry areas, half of which are completely infertile. and even in the northern hemisphere, , harvesfaililur are becoming more comm. there e just isn't e enough r. >> it might t look green.. t t just below t the surface sl here in the north west german region of brandenburg, the earth is dry. farmer tim deter can see by measuring the soil's hardness, that years of drought have taken their toll. and this year also looks like there will be too little water. >> we're now standing in the triticalale field. it's a grain, it's a mix between wheat and rye. these are typical grains used for feed and they're actuallyy

very resilient in dry conditionsns, but even still,, we're having to figure out a plan, what meaeasures to implement bebecause it's been y too dry again. >> l lower t than average rainl alrerey thisis year is pututtg stress on the plants. without water, their roots struggle to gather nutrients from the soil. it makes them grow more slowly and in extreme cases means they might die completely. digging deeper there's even less , water. that's a problem for farmers. >> we're harvesting less, , soe have lesess grain to sell, whih means less money. but we also have less grain for feed, so we're having to buy more. >> in 2018, germany experienced its hottest year on record. it was also one of the driest, with only 60 percent of its average rainfall. catastrophic for farmers. two years on, the land has still not recovevered.

lake and river levels dropped and forest fires raged in parts of the country. invasive animals have since also becomome a problelem, mimigratg nortrth as the c clie has warmed. but it's not jusust europe tht has experienced change. parts of africa already battered by drougught have beenen devasd by h hotter dry seseasons and r rainy seseasons leadining to swathes of c crops and aninims dying and extreme water shortages for the population. climate chchange has leded toe hottt decacade on recordrd. and d it's destabibilising thet ststream, a fastst-moving curt of air in n the upper atatmospe that cirircles the glolo. it is caused by presessure differences s resuing frfrom ht air fromom the equator moving north anand meeting arctctic d air moving south. while e e jet stam w wou normally r run evenly, s sciens believeve incrcreasing temperas at the polole are destababilig it.

>> these deviations also are affecting the amount of heat that's's coming fromom souther ricaca a the troropil areas.s. this imbmbalance catates wavesn thisis aa in whihich these two frononts conont t each other.. when everything g ok then t te , jet stream is somehow ststabe and you can n expect a normal year. but when t there are somome ws ththat are moving too o much n, or too mucuch south, thehen you expect thahat happens, y you ga heatatwave. >> that leads to d drought. droughts that are lasting longer. >> 2 2003 was 10 days, now it remains 30 days. ththis anomalousus situation, t is the warm m front moves s no. and ththat was not s seen befon ththat magnitudede. >> back in northern germany, fafarmers, l like tim deter, e

having to change the way they farm and use methods like , automated irrigation, that were previously only needed in the south. but the 32-year-old farmer worries that in the future it might not be enough. >> when you have these extremes, and in the worst case scenario natural disasters like floods and severe droughts, it's obviously really hard to plplan. it certainly has a financial impact on us. you need to work out how to carry on operating, how to make things work, especially in terms of money. >> if global warming continues unabated, droughts will become an even bigger problem. for farmers in brandenburg and elsewhere, it's a prospect that could have dire implications. > stay at home. that's been the key ssssage during the coronavirus pandemic. all very well for those who have a home. but 100 million people

worlrldwide lilive on the strs easisily , overlooked by those around them. inin tokyo, thousands s of pee live in internet cafes. but due to the pandemic, these have been forced to close. >> for yuuki ide, life is on hold. his current abode, a 15 square meter aparartment in tokyo, rent-free. he's 30 years old. he completed school but has no professional q qualifications. >> i've been living here since april l but can only stay untl june 8th. until then, i'm supposed to save money, meet with a real estate agent and find an apartment. it's very worrying, but i'm trying to manage. >> but how? he previously worked in a hotel with board and lodging included, but the virus ended that. he briefly worked in a supermarket but got fired.

the search for work is tiring. accommodation? only for those with a job. a young man in a criritical situatation. the big city hasas thrown him m. before the coronavirus hit, yuuki ide was always able to kip p down in one of these 24 hour internet cafes. >> i think it's human nature to just get used to wherever you live. you just have to keep telling yourself, i'm only h here briefly. tomorrow i'll be somewhehere else. ,>> but that's not true. before the pandemic started, toyko's 500 plus internet and manga cafes provided a permanent hohome for around 400 peopople. here you could rent a cubicle, along with shower facilities and food. per nighght, it was cheaper thn any hotel or apartment. ideal for the working poor and day labourers who couldn't afford anything more,

marginalized and forgotten. in yokohama, south of tokyo, a judo hall is now serving as ann ememergencshelter r r those who are completely homeleless. they are useseto having no peace and quiet anveryry lite privacy. for former internet café residents, the clock is ticking. yuuki ide has come to the government office for those made homeless in toyko by the coronavirus. he has a roof over his head for now. his appointment today will focus on job prospects and finding permanent accommodation. the agency arranges an appointment with a real estate agent. but he still doesn't know how he he'll pay the rent. >> i can't dwell on it too much. i ststill need t to think abou, but i need to be bold. that's my approach. >> the head of the agency says his team u used to advise 30 o

40 people a day. since ththe pandemic, that numr has quadruplpled: >> to rent an apartment in tokyo, you have to pay a deposit up front, along with key money and d real estate agency fees. often it's six months' rent, a lot t of money. so we e also help to arranange loans and grants. dedecca -- >> yuuki ide e scos the internet, job ads and noticeboards. but his hope of finding a job is virtually zero. entire areas of the city resemble a ghost town. japan was in recession even before the coronavirus. the 2008 financial crisis produced many of the internet cafe residents. what will coronavirus poverty do to people? there's nothing. everywhere says temporarily closed. and no information on when they'll reopen. not even pubs oror restaurants are offering anything. and no one knows how long this

will last. japan's middle class is considered the backbone of society. but it's crumbling. protective family structures are disintegrating. the number of those living in precarious circumstances climbing. yuuki ide is living proof. poverty and homelessness may often be hidden here, but they're very real nonetheless. and the virus has exposed them. >> i hear of people who fall through the net. when i was thrown out of the internet café, i thought briefly about sleeping on the street. it's a good thing i heard about the government help center. >> the name yuuki means courage. today, he's decided to join a queue bebeneath tokyo'o's ci ha, , where ee f food on offer. he d doesn't normamally come h, buhe's in neneed. befofore the pandedemic, the

service was offered icice a mont now it's e every saturdaday. bebefore, therere were 80 0 pen need. today it's nearly 180. ,>> many of them are people who lived in internet cafes and are now homeless. people who were just getting by before, but are now unemployed and only have a few hundred yen to their name. >> yukki ide is hungry. today's meal is rice, fish a ad vegetables. he has ¥10,000 left. that's about 86 euros. no money, no job and time running out. >> in many parts of rural mexico, traditional food and ys of cooking are very much alive and wewell. r reporteratja döhne asked the men of chias for their recipes and met people working hard to uphold these traditions.

>> in the village of c cárdena, the men set off for work in the morning. the women, mnwnwhile, e already hard at work. they'rbusysy coong. thrange of dishes bbling away i in their potsts and pans imprpressive. th is becausin the eveng, they are expecting a visor. somebody whoho's a great f faf their cookokinskills.. so what arare they makining? >> i add the herbso o the co make e thtamales.s. then therere's the tomatato me sauc > tamales arere a traditiol memexican dish m made with a n dough coated with various sauc. theyey'rthen wrarapped and cood in bananana leaves.. consuelo vera sant c cooks everday wiwi her mothehe who is 93 years s old. >> you stillll cook?
