6:32 pm
. things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about more like it was again still some marshawn to view those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never again like it said one does not leave a funeral in the same as one enters my mind gets consumed with the death of this one different person i speak to now because there are no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its maker. here's what people have been saying about rejected the night with your exaggerated full on awesome well the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch how to believe yeah it is the john oliver of our three americans do the
6:33 pm
same but we are apparently better than blue nothing better than some deceive anybody would ever heard of love are down for the night not the president of the world bank so very popular it seriously sent us an e-mail. waiting for the hurricane in the caribbean town is such a time honored preoccupation it inspired its own pop song on the list. of. the strong storms started battering the shores every late summer which locals came to see as the toll for the otherwise bountiful nature but the one night last september prophecy was finally fulfilled in the matter all but you ours seventy thousand citizens of the eastern caribbean nation of domenico learned there was indeed nowhere they could hide.
6:34 pm
bombs news i learned that if you wait or die. as you all know are we can my real is heading in our direction. towards equal we all know i don't want your store because now they are like. me and seem to want all frantic scramble for supply on. 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 you need to with nature that in a safe families thought was strong enough to withstand any weather. if you will on the expectation of a storm a serious storm but. in the early afternoon we are expecting a category two or a category three the rain was very very heavy but we felt we were safe 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
6:35 pm
four five o'clock the category three became a cat it was very very four 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 the 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. praising what's important and end of it you. realize you have life you have your family. i think it's important when you start from. surrendering to fade may be the most natural human response in the face
6:36 pm
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 at 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 this part of the world is like fast ferocious 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 of 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
6:37 pm
hurricane i went to the different sections of the island solved where we had major landslides we had a lot of trees and on the grown. we norwalk i think every five. 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. hundred. if we have equipment
6:38 pm
we could get from. underground local community. securing that help 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 race 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 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 forever living down at the mercy
6:39 pm
of others. or you what you know so you see where you will what you can do. so you don't have no land anywhere that you can 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 descended on dominique a in recent months in a country where bridges and telephone towers are gone the with the wind the logistics of help is no less challenging than securing how 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
6:40 pm
in different sectors. in the field of strength or i know that. it's coming through the level is increasing because everybody realizes that there's a huge. i was in crisis here ninety percent of the houses lost their roofs or are being destroyed so it's an obvious reconstruct reconstruction but forty nine percent is less than a ha that's so for 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 agencies and international n.g.o.s descend on an afflicted country to offer immediate support that has been the case in domini but
6:41 pm
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 their defense and specifically in the face of climate change and richer countries have know that politely and kick the can down the road. of the most recent un 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 the admission that the threat from climate change is real. serious and is growing overnight. it was here that a group of island 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
6:42 pm
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 alex tricity and the very spotty telecom coverage here means being almost completely cut off from the international news the old transvaal 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 it c
6:43 pm
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 a bit depressing. to our friends into russia community with political challenges which countries are developed we would need to been 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. 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
6:44 pm
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 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 because we do not have the strength to fight. over disposition in the face of us. to have a disposition not to laws not. that comes from god but we also have to to to kill. as much as we can. while most churches in dominique
6:45 pm
over damaged by the hurricane there is one place that escaped the wrath of the elements there under 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. that one was with. you here. or is. 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 and they drink even more when they're sad is probably be only business and dominic that wasn't negatively
6:46 pm
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 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 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 sorts of. from article conditions but we would like to see
6:47 pm
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 us to take action as global leaders to protect. as we have nowhere to run. 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 their raging elements you have a very strong 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. for that. that's
6:48 pm
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 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 three of hold. this is dominican passport and. it gives you the ease of travel through all the one hundred twenty five to thirty one hundred thirty countries in the woods and these are free. and basically for many
6:49 pm
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 go coach of. the creation of taxes. reflective of the united states and germany in. those people who represent a genuine support base who see we need people to hear. more. people. but at the same.
6:50 pm
services financial services to people from outside the. us 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 bear about three dollars on but. nobody was hurt but the locals were so that by this near miss they
6:51 pm
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 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 of the leaves were plastered all over the windows and on the walls and so on so it inspired me to do a series of been. 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
6:52 pm
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 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 number is a back to a few dozen it is one of the. very important lives on the island we need to to kill because the population is very large the moment for her to bring captivity. the more feed it has but better lives than their caregivers which is not dot far from
6:53 pm
the truth. once their wounds heal they will be released back into the forest which many here a few years provided a super charge not only by human activity but also with. credit as one of the basic instruments to drive an economy but it can also lead to
6:54 pm
tragedy i did it i took a line down just i came to god and meant that the debts tie came and in the spiral not. many lives have been broken believe excessive to the banks going through into a wall on a wall where your big bankers go big. or go to the bank i didn't think of the ordinary men who washed morning through the back. people see no future about face and have you know you become ill you due to job your relationship breaks down you become a casualty is a life long trip or is there a way out those are sure to come to bed or no would be right to ditch bill from some more risk to the more. trust in the mainstream media is an all time low but no one should be surprised in the media has itself to blame this sad state of affairs is a self-inflicted wound in actually
6:55 pm
a conscious business model immediate no long. as an interesting morning news media today propagates ideology. it's a. wonder when they hit it big i call it the city of new day. in the mood to call. this a rogue reserve in your eyes following them in a mall we meant and make a friend with a foot on the cliff is from another from the us as a local look at them they want us and the feeling to see all. of those. so. i thought that the.
6:56 pm
everybody i'm stephen baldwin to ask hollywood guy suspects every proud american first of all i'm just george bush and r.v. i'm going to suggest this is my buddy max famous financial guru and well she's a little bit different i'm not. going to go into windows up with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the road have fun meet everyday americans. and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american people which. seem wrong. well we just don't all. get to see
6:57 pm
how this day comes to counseling. and in again trade equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when just a look for common ground. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last to bang turn. your act caught up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry 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 my life turned on each breath and you talked about war like it was a game still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question and i secretly promised to it's consumed with the death of this one different person i speak to
6:58 pm
you now because there are no other takers. to her claim that mainstream media has met its maker. the loneliness of spending to twenty million fly a. book it's an experience like nothing else on earth because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful day my great so we'll all chose for. at least it's more nudes. i mean.
6:59 pm
we believe that you know we call the police the system of abuse and torture of the refugees and my friends say. honesty international points the finger at e.u. countries over the plight of migrants in libya. protests are up for a six day in the west bank and gaza against the u.s. recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital. and a deadly explosion at a major gas hob in austria puts europe on high alert with prices soar and a state of emergency declared in its.
