all right seriously send us an e-mail. question the mainstream media is an all time low but no one should be surprised in the media has itself to blame for this sad state of affairs is a self-inflicted wound and actually a conscious business model the media no longer has an interesting morning news media today propagates ideology. played from many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money billionaire owners and spending to the twenty million one player. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy great so one more chance with. the base it's going to.

waiting for the hurricane in the caribbean town is such a time honored preoccupation it inspired its own pop song. in that era 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. there and back to wait for die as you all know hurricane maria is heading in the one direction. toward we all know no matter what your story is now barreling toward a rico today in san juan 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 state 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 are expecting a category three or a category three. the rain was very very heavy but we focused with the fire 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 five o'clock because of your previous eva care they were going to go before 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
4:36 pm
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 son 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 that 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
4:37 pm
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 based part of the world is like fast. unfortunately not fictional. temperatures in the caribbean the have risen 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. after the hurricane i went to the different sections of the island north so. we had major landslides we had a lot of trees on the grown. we norwalk i think or if.
4:38 pm
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 gray 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. hunger. if we have equipment we could get from. underground local communities. 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
4:39 pm
electricity and those are the fortunate ones some lost their homes altogether this is the many cars primary school which has been turned into a temporary shelter that houses some of the most vulnerable victims of the hurricane families with children the elderly mentally disabled and every day people who leave here has by these signs extolling values 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 for ever living down at the mercy of others. or you are what you know so you see where you will go what you can do. so you don't have no land anywhere that you view the only thing being. they hope to be out of here by christmas and there is
4:40 pm
a good chance of that happening then initial 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 field of shelter i know that. it's coming through the level is increasing because everybody realizes that there's a huge. housing crisis here ninety percent of their houses. their rules or our being destroyed so it's an obvious reconstruct reconstruction with forty nine
4:41 pm
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. 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. agency is an international and 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 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 un climate change
4:42 pm
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 that a 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. 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
4:43 pm
from the international news though transmittable 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 but what should be done about it the trumpet ministrations pullout from the paris climate deal has prompted lots of righteous scoring which somewhat obfuscates 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 if c o two emissions rise for the second pier in the row not surprisingly the big gathering in bonn decided that island nations concerns can wait another year. the global doesn't exist prime minister says that's because the global north and the global south have a different sense of urgency it's
4:44 pm
a bit depressing. to our friends international unity with the political challenges which countries are developed would lead to boom called to create employment and to generate energy for the solution so we're not alone full of the need for them to do what they have to do always is. with the good to be instructions. 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 dominique this 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
4:45 pm
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 just in god because we do not have the strength to fight. over disposition infeasible. to have a disposition that the law was 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 reinvigorating wrong punch the tea secret recipes dad how domini can so keep their spirits up after maria. miranda has seen many powerful storms in her life but says
4:46 pm
this one felt different. to that one with. your. own is. it was more or more dreams that you. have known for her 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 and 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's a few people like me sober when it comes to changing weather patterns and they have little idea how to pull the rest of their work out complete with. this blessing in disguise attitude is not lost on the local government either dominica
4:47 pm
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 the 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 be to get a good source of. 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 for the need for us to take action as global leaders to protect islands ago as we have nowhere to run. and some of that has already started regular steve who barely
4:48 pm
survived maria while trapped in his house is now focused on rebuilding his business he simply has owned this hotel for three generations each one of them how to repair the damage inflicted by their raging elements you have a very sure on no connection to your life and you don't want to leave it and you want to continue to invest in the one continue to rebuild and that's the 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. for that. and 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 diversify its economy now that both sectors look increasingly vulnerable in the face of climate change dominik could count on the international community not only
4:49 pm
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 ray of hope. this is the minicon aspirate. it gives you the ease of travel through all the one hundred twenty five to thirty one hundred thirty countries in there were 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
4:50 pm
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. to many of us who countries who are more. coach of. is. reflective of the united states and germany in. those people who represent a genuine support base who see we need people to be. there for more. people. but at the same time they're. offering services financial services to people from outside the. us the or who. want to. this day now make of claiming the gains and offloading the pain is as old as the world but it clearly
4:51 pm
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 but. nobody was hurt but the locals were so that by this near a mess 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 lowell 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
4:52 pm
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 been. delayed portraits and so on and plus the needs of 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 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
4:53 pm
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 captivity but with a little specialities 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
4:54 pm
caregivers which is not dot far from the truth. once their wounds heal they will 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 no law and now the hurricane super charge not only by human activity but also human procrastination we.
4:55 pm
all see we have a great team we need to strengthen before the freefall 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 winning 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 in that sort of three. thousand zero zero zero zero hitter here i called russia. fly strike right left left left more or less ok stop that's really good.
4:56 pm
credit is one of the basic instruments to drive an economy but it can also lead to tragedy i did err i took i lined the hole to start again bigger and meant that the debts tike in bigger and in the spiral now and fall. many lives have been broken like excessive to the banks got into trouble and all we big bankers got big. government the banks but i just didn't think of the the ordinary men and the russian running through the back under don't buy creditors people see no future bad face from happening you know you become ill get into a job your relationship breaks down in 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 michael fish bill from so much flow from which.
4:57 pm
about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry but only i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met in my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was a case still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one might
