is one of the basic instruments to drive an economy but it can also lead to tragedy and i did. i took a line just i can't be got and meant that the text i came to and in the spider not . many lives have been broken excessive the banks got you into trouble on all the big bankers come. on the goldman the banks but just didn't think of the. last morning there was a back under don't buy credits as people see no future bad things from happening you know you become ill. your relationship breaks down you become a casualty is death and nice long. those actually come to

waiting for the hurricane in the caribbean town is such a time honored preoccupation it inspired its own pop song live. in the era of. the strong storm started battering the shores every late summer which locals came to see as the toll for the otherwise bountiful nature but one night last september prophecy was finally. in the matter all but few hours seventy thousand citizens of the eastern caribbean nation of dominique learned there was indeed nowhere they could hide. snoozer and back to wait for die as you all know hurricane my maria is heading in the one direction. working away you know i don't want more storms because you 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 hummingbirds a place of seclusion and cuny to with nature that in the safe families thought was strong enough to withstand any weather. you all on the expectation of a of a storm a serious storm but. in the early afternoon we're expecting a category three or a category three. the rain was very very heavy but we focused with the here because a couple of years prior we had a very significant reading vent and it was frightening. but by the time we got to four or five o'clock previous work out it was very very four and by the time it reached. eight o'clock at night it was

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 leg 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. 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

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 its forest is more akin to mirkwood from the hobbit movies and the overnight change from eden to how is what the global warming in this part of the world is like fast. unfortunately not fictional. temperatures in the caribbean have reason by one degree centigrade over the last century which as scientists suggest has a supercharging a fact on the storms not only do they become stronger but they also become more frequent obliterating everything in their path for days after the hurricane i went to the different sections of the island so. we had major

landslides we had a lot of trees and on the grown. we norwalk i think. there was a category 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 worth of. hunger. if we have equipment we could get from. growing local community they'd be willing to do the. securing for the trees is not easy especially when people 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 though many because primary school reach 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's work just across the street at the botanical gardens in just a matter of hours maria uprooted her family lives for ever living down at the mercy of others. or you are what you know so you see where you will what you can do. 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 spock is helping to coordinate the dozens of gio's that descended on dominique a in recent months in a country where bridges and telephone towers are gone the with the wind dillard just sticks of help is no less challenging than securing help in the first place we have an online system. to truck 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 have lost their roofs or

been destroyed so it's an obvious reconstruct reconstruction but forty nine percent is less than a ha that's of course forty eight point six yeah 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 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 dominique i have been asking for is an international effort to strengthen that defenses specifically in the face of

climate change and richer countries have know that slightly and kick the can down the road. the most recent u.n. climate change conference proved to be one of the largest international gatherings germany has ever hosted over twenty five thousand dollars. it's flew in from all over the world for ten days of panel discussions networking and grandstanding. many visit today is in recognition that the threat from climate change is real. serious and is growing overnight. it was here that a group of nations who are already leaving the effects of climate change took their plea to the world's biggest greenhouse gas and meters they asked to reframe the debate from what the polluters should or should not do into how the victims should cope.

something that could be a major game changer for many in the caribbean the practical absence of electricity 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. the global dominic as prime

minister says that's 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. with the actions. the. international community may think that it's singing from the same hymn sheet on climate change the 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

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 comes from god but we also have 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

reinvigorating wrong punch the tea secret recipe is that how domini can say keep their spirits up after maria. miranda has seen many powerful storms in her life but says this one felt different. all is well. i mean before that it was more and more dreams. are. known for her biting tongue around the 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 a drink even more when they're sad is probably be only business and dominic that wasn't negatively affected by the hurricane but here it few people like me summer of one have comes to change in weather patterns and they have little idea how to

pull the rest of the world. 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 who want to go but unity to to create the world's first climate resilient nation and ensuring that what we can do for self by ourselves to mitigate the good . from arctic conditions but we would like to see a greater effort on the part of the international community especially those of us who expose or support for climate change and for the effects of climate change and

for us to take action as global leaders to protect. as we do and some of that has already started reading the 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 strong connection to your land and you don't want to leave it and you want to continue to invest in you and get in 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. whether you continue to invest. that's all going to be because. 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

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 as 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 the one hundred twenty five to through 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 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. the turks is reflective of blue scientists in the united states and germany in. those people who represent a genuine support base who see we need people. who are more than. people. but at the same time they're. offering services financial services to people from outside the. u.s.

the or who. want to. this day now make of claiming the gains and loading the paines 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 there will be nowhere 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 big tree dahlan on but. 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.

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 artist 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. portraits and so on i'm. sure the strength of the wind and the hardship of the hurricane. 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 life may seem extinct to most of us but it took only

a few hours to bring it back. bringing the extinct back to life it is actually domenico specialty the symbol of this country is the sister of 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 numbers of 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 verbal to bring in captivity but. a little specialty is 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 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 be released back into the forest reach many here are confident will be back to its better self in just a few years provided of course there is no luck and now the hurricane super charged not only by human activity but also human procrastination we.

all see we have a great team we need to strengthen before the freefall world cold and you're better than a legend to keep it to 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 waving spirit to the r.c.c. . 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 on that story three. thousand zero zero zero zero zero i call russia. by strife. left left left more or less ok stuff that's really good here's what people have been saying about rejected a night with you i was actually just full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch you know a lot of the really packed
