so when you want to be president or injury or some want to be brits. consider life to be for us this is what will befall us three of them or can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of my. quest. all see we have a great scheme we need to strengthen before the free world cold and your bets have been a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that weighting spirit to the aussie theme. recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last will call him that starts or three. thousand zero zero zero zero

4:32 am
i thought that ample. credit is one of the basic instruments to drive an economy but it can also lead to tragedy i did i took a line the whole gist i came to god and that that the textile game began and it was spiraling out of control. many lives have been broken my fixes into the banks gushing into trouble and all the big bankers got big america and the government the banks but i just i didn't think of the the ordinary men and the lost money for is a back under don't buy creditors people see no future bad face and have you know you become ill you lose your job your relationship breaks down you become a casualty is dead a life long trip or is there a way out of those actually come to a bit of an old microfiche built from so much suspicion from what.
4:33 am
we felt like when you all know was coming through and spoke the property if somebody would have then told me that i'm going to spend my life to a plank of it as are a lot of destroyed kosovo solti was clearly seen. every night although we were attacked by the arabs or we will attacking them and we will extremely shocked and saying but that's not possible i'll make those moveable such scenes and then disorder us and myself and know it all slipped into. the house with all the pools of war we've all gotten over they all. believe much second class citizens in the on call. it was like lightning in my head that there is no way to be able to live together without tearing down the street
4:34 am
was. the. for the hurricane in the caribbean town is such a time honored preoccupation it inspired its own pop song live. images of. the strong storm started battering the shores every late summer which locals came to see as the tall but they are otherwise bountiful nature but one night last september prophecy was finally fulfilled in the matter all for a few hours seventy thousand citizens of the eastern caribbean nation of dominique learned there was indeed nowhere they could hide. this news alert that if you wait or die as you all know hurricane maria is heading in the wood direction. or to go we'll go home i don't want more storms because you
4:35 am
know they're like puerto rico to me and so you want all frantic scramble for supply . this used to be a dream family house by the waterfall tucked in at the foot of the mountain requested by humming birds a place of seclusion and you need to with nature that in the safe family thought was strong enough to withstand any weather. you all on the expectation of a of a storm serious storm but. in the early afternoon we were expecting a category two or a category three. the rain was very very heavy but we froze here because a couple of years prior we had a very significant reading vent and it was right. but by the time we got to four five o'clock because of your previous work out it was very very four by the time it reached. eight o'clock at night it was
4:36 am
a category five and we knew we should not be here. that you cars parked outside by the hurricane without a trace the house was flooded with a month but if you personal treasures and above all their lives were spared. greg the father had his lack and rapes broken but the boulder is that now dog back yard a sizable enough to inspire a sense of appreciation for me the most important part of the experience was. raising what's important and the end of it you. you realize you have life you have your family nothing else is important and you start from there. surrendering to fade may be the most natural human response in the face of disaster but in the case of the eastern caribbean it is not that straightforward. many here believe that what turns regular storms into
4:37 am
a category five hurricanes has more to do with human activity than bad luck domenica used to market itself as a paradise island with its lush and pristine flora some of the scenes from the pirates of the caribbean were shot here and precisely because of the breathtaking views but now it's forest is more akin to mirkwood from the hobbit movies and the overnight change from eden to how is what the global warming in these part of the world is like fast. unfortunately not fictional. temperatures in the caribbean to have reason by one degree centigrade over the last century which as scientists suggest has a supercharging in fact under storms not only do they become stronger but they also become more frequent obliterating everything in their path. after the hurricane i went to the different sections of the island so. we had major
4:38 am
landslides we had a lot of trees on the grown. we norwalk i think every five or. six. the many because forest used to be its biggest pride more than sixty percent of the island's territory had protected status but the hurricane turned the sea of greenery into despondency of grey and brown but just a few working vehicles and a handful of specialists the local forestry department is overwhelmed by the scale of the challenge. we are seeking assistance from abroad. is not what. would hunger. if we heard. we could get assistance from. underground local communities they'd be willing to do the. securing for the trees is not easy especially when people
4:39 am
with their despair. three months after the hurricane most of the island's households still lack electricity and those are the fortunate ones some lost their homes altogether this is dominic his primary school which has been turned into a temporary shelter that houses some of the most vulnerable victims of the hurricane with children the elderly mentally disabled and every day people who leave here has by these signs extolling bally's like responsibility caring fair in this respect and perhaps wondering when some of that would be afforded to them. evelyn is sixty four years old for much of her life just across the street at the botanical gardens in just a matter of hours maria uprooted her family lives forever living down at the mercy of others. or you are what you know so you see where you will go what you can do.
4:40 am
for you out in the land anywhere that you view that anything being. a hope to be out of here by christmas and there is a good chance of that happening then it'll shortage of building materials is less accurate now to a large degree international help. marie spog is helping to coordinate the dozens of descended on dominique a in recent months in a country where bridges and telephone towers are gone the with the wind dillard just ticks off help is no less challenging than securing help in the first place we have an online system. to track contributions and we're now reaching we've reached forty eight point six percent of the total funding required in different sectors in the in the field of strength there i know that. it's coming through the level is increasing because everybody realizes that there's a huge. crisis here ninety percent of the houses lost. or
4:41 am
are being destroyed so it's an obvious reconstruct reconstruction forty nine percent is lost in the heart that's of course forty eight point six it's less than half but it's pretty good for an appeal and here comes the tricky part pulling yourself from the rubble is hard enough when you think the worst is over but what if the worst is yet to come how do you rebuild when the next hurricane may be even more destructive and who exactly should pay for it the international community has devised a fairly functional system of disaster response once a calamity strikes various u.n. agencies and international n.g.o.s descend on an afflicted country to offer immediate support that has been the case in domini but the problem with this kind of pain relief is that it only helps people to live another day what countries like dominick i have been asking for is an international effort to strengthen their
4:42 am
defenses specifically in the face of climate change and richer countries know that slightly and kick the can down the road. the most recent un climate change conference proved to be one of the largest international gatherings germany has ever hosted over twenty five thousand delegates flew in from all over the world for ten days of panel discussions networking and grandstanding. many visit today is in doubt the mission that the threat from climate change is real. serious and is growing overnight. it was here the other group of nations who are already leaving the effects of climate change to their plea to the world's biggest greenhouse gas and meters they ask to reframe the debate from what the polluters should or should not do into how the victims should cold.
4:43 am
something that could be a major game changer for many in the caribbean the practical absence of alex tricity and the very spotty telecom coverage here means being almost completely cut off from the international news trans global warming escapades or the indignation of his critics are equally irrelevant in the way they all are fake news because what matters down here is not what drives climate change and what should be done about it the trumpet ministrations pullout from the paris climate deal has prompted lots of righteous scoring which somewhat obfuscate the fact that even those who support the deal don't quite practice what they preach germany which portrays itself as the champion of climate conscientiousness is likely to see its c o two emissions rise for the second year in the row not surprisingly the big gathering in bonn decided that island nations concerns can wait another year. to global dominic
4:44 am
as prime minister sas does because the global north and the global south have a different sense of urgency it's a bit depressing. to your friends into those communities with political challenges which countries of the developed would need to boom cool to create employment and to generate energy for the citizens so we're not alone full of the need for them to do what they have to do always is. with actions. the. international community may think that it's singing from the same hymn sheet on climate change but devotion is often more rhetorical than practical those who pollute the most also happen to hold the keys to salvation. this irony is nowhere more pressing down in dominicans cathedral of our lady of fairhaven in this catholic
4:45 am
community maria came to do you know the biggest disaster to ever be for the parish and the biggest hope for the future. in the aftermath of the harry came people came here in search of consolation but even here there is a recognition that the issue of climate change is not exclusively in god's hands is very important to trusting god because we do not have the strength to fight. over disposition and. to have a disposition that the law is not. that comes from god but we also have to to to kill. as much as we can. while most churches in dominique over damaged by the hurricane there is one place that escaped the wrath of the elements there on the is known to every islander for her savory broth and equally
4:46 am
reinvigorating wrong punch the tea secret recipe is that how domini can so keep their spirits up after maria. miranda has seen many powerful storms in her life but says this one felt different. to that one with. your. own is. more and more dreams are not. known for biting tongue miranda says people should stop whining and get of their backsides that is of course after having a drink or two. people drink when they're happy drink even more when they're sad so it's probably be only business and dominic that wasn't negatively affected by the hurricane but here it's hugh people like him we saw one of comes to change in weather patterns and they have little idea how to pull the rest of the world
4:47 am
complete with. this blessing in disguise attitude is not lost on the local government either dominica has long struggled with high youth and particularly male unemployment which at least partially is a consequence of the laid back east those so common in the tropics. the prime minister hopes that with a little help from abroad he can turn a challenge into an opportunity the task really is to seek to rebuild lives of the people but to go put unity to to create the world's first climate resilient nation and ensuring that what we can do for sales by ourselves to mitigate the goods. from us to conditions but we would like to see a greater effort on the part of the international community especially those of us who expose all support for climate change and for the effects of climate change and
4:48 am
for. our global leaders to protect. and some of that has already started regular steve who barely survived maria while trapped in his house is now focused on building his business he simply has owned this hotel for three generations each one of them how to repair the damage inflicted by the raging elements you have a very sure all no connection to your life and you don't want to leave it and you want to continue to invest in the one can do to rebuild and that's still there but certainly if we get something like this in two years and then another two years then it's a question of. whether you continue to invest. hope for that. that's not going to be the case. tourism accounts for about a third of delmonico's income the industry got a kick after previous storms ravaged agriculture and the country decided to
4:49 am
diversify its economy now that both sectors look increasingly vulnerable in the face of climate change dimon he could count on the international community not only for help but also to let it earn a living. can those green represents the local association of industry and commerce we made by the oil lamp as ninety five percent of the country still lacks electricity but he says dominica citizenship for investment program could be that the rate of hold. this is dominican passport. gives you the ease of travel through one hundred twenty five to thirty one hundred thirty countries in the woods and these are free. and basically for many people it's peace of mind. trading citizenship currently fills over a third of the country's budget but that income is just as precarious as the
4:50 am
changing weather patterns the rich countries battle against offshore and takes haven destinations is waged in the name of transparency but it is also guided by self interest in a way it's a lot like the debate on climate change do as they say but not as i do let's be clear. many of the countries who are more. coach of. is. reflective of the united states and germany in. those people who represent a genuine support who see we need people to be. more. to do. but at the same. services financial services to people from outside the. us the or who.
4:51 am
want to. this day now make of claiming the gains and offloading the pains is as old as the world but it clearly has its limits so far those limits make themselves evident in countries most dependent on nature but when it comes to changing climate a planet is not much different from an island sooner or later they will be in no where we can hide the dominicans have internalized this in a way that brings together science and superstition prior to my rear hurricane david of nine hundred seventy nine it was the biggest horror story in dominick of collective history the winds were so strong they believe these bear about three dollars on that. nobody was hurt but the locals were so that by this near miss they turned it into their. first hurricane monument the one that unlike almost everything else on this island was totally unscarred by hurricane maria.
4:52 am
as maria was ravaging through the island lobel royer sat in his studio mass mara's by its force one of the many his most prolific artists has long been inspired by the living things around him but the events of that night in september stirred his imagination in a new way out of a long list of ideas based on the hurricane but i haven't started them yet but the thing that struck me the most was that i believe this is over leaves were plastered all over the windows and on the walls and so on so it inspired me to do a series of bin where i would do like portraits and so on and plus the leads on the show with the strength of the wind and the hardship of the hurricane. the hurricane destroyed people's homes but the warm caribbean the winter allowed many to survive under the open sky the water system was damaged but the reverse came to an immediate rescue this way of the sister
4:53 am
a parrot now found only on this island with climbers with powerful of wings these birds are also shy and difficult to approach. just before my rear efforts to protect their habitat managed to increase the population to several hundred given the damage to the forest there are fears that the number is a back to a few dozen it is one of the most. very important lives on the island we need to to kill because the population is very large the moment very variable in captivity but with a little specialties you have to be dia you have to be there to be morning to birds because you have very special animals the most. so you have to have good food for that they would use to move the chicks and you the makeshift parrot hospital at delmonico's botanical gardens now hosts a dozen of injured birds the local joke is that they have better lives than their caregivers which is not dot far from the truth. once their wounds heal they will
4:54 am
be released back into the forest which many here are confident will be back to its better self in just a few years provided of course that there is not another hurricane supercharge not only by human activity but also human procrastination leave. her. everything was relieved that it. was the world that it was it. was
4:55 am
a. leak this. is a day this is there's. a batch or sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. it up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words and hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each day. but then my feeling started to change you talked about more like it was again still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like. it's sad one does not leave
4:56 am
a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with the death of this one by different speeches because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. first like when you all know it's coming through and spoke up properly if somebody would've been told me that i'm going to spend my life to plan committees or a little disco course i would have sold it was clearly see. her every night although we were attacked by the arabs we will attacking them and we will extremely shocked and saying but that's not possible oh i'll make those move to such scenes and then disorder us and myself from the work of some of those books in the house with all the prison or with all the gold with over they all. believe much second class citizens in the on call.
4:57 am
tools like they like to give my head that there is no way to be able to live together without tearing down the street odds. on one else chose seemed wrong all right all were all just all. in the world just to shape out just a few comes to the ticket and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. credit is one of the basic instruments to drive an economy but it can also lead to tragedy i did i took a line the whole gist i can be got and that that the debts tie game and it was
