today he's taking them across the sahara into libya.to the compound now which is where we're meeting ourfriend, but we are a long way from the centre. look at this, there we go, migrants. they all seem quite surprised to see us. hello, does anybody speak english? you all do? where are you from? nigeria. are you guys trying to make it to europe? in the compound is a mixture of nigerian men, women and children. the men say they travelled here together after they finished school. where are you going next, are you going to libya? libya is a very dangerous country. it very unstable. you didn't know that? what did they say europe was like? you have only ever heard good things about libya and europe? nowhere is completely good. towards the end of our conversation, the mood changed. it's pretty obvious that everyone‘s confused about what's going on. they seem to have been briefed by the people who run this place, so we have to be careful what we say, because he is standing just behind us. they all seem to be in a bad way and they have no idea w

up at the in the upper reaches the atmosphere and there is also high pressure dominates over the sahara desert which is what keeps it dry and low pressure over the gulf of guinea which is where the tropical congo rain forest belt is found and that causes swirling out swirling atmosphere conditions and once the moisture gets up into the atmosphere from the ocean. then you basically have a situation where there's already countered there's already swirling atmosphere conditions because of the difference between the sahara and the gulf of guinea and if there and that has to do with a and and vegetated hot and vegetated desert versus a cooler tropical rain forest environment and so yeah if there was vegetation on the sahara than it would be there would definitely be fewer hurricanes eight thousand years ago people probably didn't have any idea of what the impact their actions would be on the environment long term as a scientist how do you compare that situation to the one today now we have better knowledge set so i would you know i hope that people can take the knowledge that the science tel

we are on the fringe of the sahara desert, not farfrom we are on the fringe of the sahara desert, notm nigeria's northern border. niger is one of the world —class northern border. niger is one of the world—class microporous countries. it is mostly agricultural. the average number of children born a woman is 7.6. and here it is even higher than that, so the government and aid agencies are trying to do something about it. tucked away, out of earshot, girls as young as ten talk about topics many adults here consider taboo. family planning, contraception, early marriage, and even forced marriage. three older girls take the lead. the aid workers who have trained them call this the safe space class. this woman is 27 and has four children. translation: one of the things we are teaching the girls here is about early marriage and the consequences of having children before they are 18. during the delivery a girl can lose her life, or the child could die. before this programme, women had many children, but with the coming of this programme the number of children is really reducing. who decides h

where we have advised the people trying to allow ourselves to terminations for the western sahara at the front of the program which is illegally occupied by morocco and you know an occupation in which version is now complicit by holding sports festivals and building hotels in morocco except etc etc and this to me was the starkest example of the case where when you're trying to transform a system in favor of justice to a very uncomfortable extent your relying on the people who are already powerful in that system of injustice to get funding you can't run on fresh air you have to pay people you have to travel you have to run an organization and that means going to where the money is and sometimes that means facing these very uncomfortable choices about who gives you money i wish it were not the case i think every leader of an ngo probably feels the same way as me it's best to be frank about it because i think it's a problem that we need to address like it was your brother to come on the program and send in my belly. asking for funding for my. brother the a bit of these were also the fac

timbuktu has long been the gateway to the sahara desert and the world beyond. today it is home to some fifty thousand people who seek to maintain a connection to the modern world while maintaining many of their old traditions. just a few years ago ethnic conflicts were rare most of the time people coexisted peacefully fair skinned arabs and. ellen and many other ethnic groups with their different languages and cultures. girls went to unveiled and confident women handle business and teenagers probably thought of the same things as they do most everywhere. the ginger bear mosque dates back to the fourteenth century together with the other great mosques of timbuktu it formed the hub of west african scholarship during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries in more than one hundred fifty quranic schools affiliated with the mosques the most distinguished islamic scholars of the magreb taught more than twenty thousand students they studied the koran and the prophet's life conducted scientific research and wrote down their findings in manuscripts to this day a moderate

i understand it many thousands of years ago the sahara desert was was once wet and green lush land and over the course of several thousands of years the landscape of northern africa kind of moved over from a diverse wet ecosystem to the conditions that where we're seeing today if. such conditions still remained the same as they were would we be seeing the hurricanes that we're seeing now. well that's kind of a difficult question to say but answer but the point here i think we should all take away is that hurricanes and tropical storms are a normal part of the earth's atmosphere trying to find equilibrium it's normal to have hurricanes this time of the year in fact we are reaching our climatic peak time of the year right around september tenth and the busiest time for tropical storms and hurricanes to release this heat energy dense built up throughout the summertime months from the intertropical convergence zone of the land of the ocean is during the months of september and october so this is normal we've been having hurricanes in this part of the world for hundreds if not thousands of

this one here, the marathon des sables, which is 250 kilometers, over six days, in the sahara desert,irst race, in 2001. i nearly died doing it, but i loved it. that was fantastic. the arctic race is called the 6633 extreme ultra marathon. it's 350 miles, non—stop, over eight days, in temperatures as low as minus a0. i actually won that race overall, male and female, and i came in, i think, it was 24—hours ahead of the only other person who finished. but running across america is her toughest challenge yet. what drives you to do this? i love the challenge. i love, i love the thought of me physically and mentally, because that plays a big part, of actually being able to run the distances that i do. to power her to a new world record, she's relying on a lot of coffee, ten pairs of running shoes and a support crew, including her husband, friends and a physio. she's already dreaming of the finish line. when i get to the steps of the new york city hall, i'll crawl up those steps. those steps, i'm just going to love them. i'll get down on my knees and i'll kiss them if necessary. that was m

borders at your own landscape, you try to levy the border question to africa, to north africa, to the sahara. you cannot deter the people when they do not see any prospective in the regions where there is oppression, when there is famine, when there is a huge amount of unemployment. the majority of people from africa are not refugees in the classical l nse. migrants.ty are you have solved the problem how to distinguish between a migrant and refugee in the very early stage. younnen: the problem is cannot deter b by violating humn rights. that's the major issue we have. countries like libya commonly violate human rights. melinda: let me bring antje your in on this because opening statement made it clear you do not think these caps are a workable deterrent. antje: no, because it is against human rights. it is cynical to say we have to do this to achieve that other thing. this is not an easy topic. maybe there are other ways to prevent people to come to europe in the first place than in order to be brought back. can takethink europe il those who come because think also there is a war of images i

of mismanagement of agriculture that led to the destruction of the river and water system in the sahara desert were fessor right sat down for an interview with our correspondent on your partner pill in seoul south korea here's a sneak peek with the full interview coming in the next hour i think if there was more vegetation. that it is. it is is likely that there would be fewer hurricanes hitting the east coast of the united states and mexico. well a group of progressives met this weekend in d.c. hoping to create a new political party the people's convergence invited senator bernie sanders to lead the creation however he was a no show to the events their group calling itself a draft bernie for a people's party gathered some fifty thousand signatures for support of the new party with or without sanders you may recall senator sanders who ran for president in the twenty sixteen election but lost to hillary clinton for the democratic nominee we're joined live by draft bernie founder nick brand i thank you so much for joining us today it's great to be here and so nick i mean you created this

we started out for example in 1992 to have a referendum on the future of the western sahara in. this is one of the great crises of modern times and we needed to have a referendum. it total electorate with 70,000 people. that was 26 years ago. that referendum is still not taken place in that peacekeeping force is still out there. what we need to do is be able to apply our money for the things we think are important and other nations can do the same. we may not contribute anywhere near 22%. europeans like these activities let them pay for it. lou: we can get them to pay their fair share in nato which is created specifically to assure their survival. now to go to the united nations and ask for some sort of equity and fairness and contribution this is what drives me nuts about the united nations. it's a joke. the failure. why invest at all? >> the europeans know if the united states unilaterally started making its contribution at the level it wanted to domestic pressure on their countries to do exactly the same would the unbelievably high. a german diplomat wants it to me when i sai

is a big north africa just below the sahara is an area my colleague and i traveled to recently to look at what's happening in nigeria, with aqim. many other groups. tomorrow i depart to southeast asia, which is another hot spot. one of the main concerns we've been looking at is this phenomenon, this threat of foreign fighters. we don't know the exact numbers but anywhere between 41,000 and 44,000 came to the syria, iraq battle field to join isis and many other groups present. many others have been killed and come to the united states but others coming from 10 countries are still battling there in the remnants of the united states the cal fate that they declared. and some are going home. in southeast asia we've seen the first flair fired off. you've had more than 80 foreign fighters show up to join the most evil, despicable group today. and you had fighters from chechnya, saudi arabia, yemen, morocco, india, indonesia, malaysia, and even singapore the battle. over 125 phil pin police and security forces have been killed. more than 500 militants killed and 40,000 people displaced. this i

you get hot air off thor e er i sahara, and the normal route has been through the western atlantic andthe caribbean and sometimes, as we've seen unfortunately, into the gulf of mexico. that's sort of the natural flow of the atmosphere. but as the earth is warming up, because of human effects on the climate, we're getting more and more energy put into these storms. and so a storm that would have been smaller is now bigger than it would have otherwise been. >> reflect on that if you can, peter. you are saying that climate is affecting the strength of these. we now have two surpearltives, harvey, slow moving. we're looking at damage and flooding we've never seen before. number two, we've got irma, the other sa pearltive of big, big, big and category 5. why are we seeing these in such a short amount of time and does that tell us this year and the coming seasons could only get worse and worse? or this is one of those data spikes? >> well, there's three factors that are related to climate here. one is warmer ocean temperatures put more energy into these storms. they make them more powerful t

or is it c, climate disruption played no part in the devastation of hurricanes sahara i have and irma. or statement d, the u.s. is now producing 43 times as much solar energy as it did in 2007. so three statements are true, one are false. and that false statement is statement c. it is in fact july 2017 that was the second hottest month on record. in fact we had a recent period in which month after month was the hottest month on the calendar year on record. that extended for about 16 months in a row not so long ago. and indeed only one country has not signed on to the paris climate agreement. that country is syria, syria in the grip after ferocious civil war. nicaragua hadn't signed on, but they have signed on now, and the united states has withdrawn or expressed its intention to withdraw, but it has not actually come off the paris accord until the year 2020. so just one country. so that is also true, and it is true that solar power has increased 43 times in a seven-year period. and we certainly know that climate disruption doesn't cause hurricanes. but we also know that the hotter tem

the last month the month before, we had sahara dust so it kept activity low. sometime saturday we expect a turn to the right, pick the system up to the new york times. we were hoping for a small window that sooner than later it would get picked up, possibly slide past the outer banks into the open atlantic. that window is pretty much shutting down. we cannot disregard the possibility of that momentum carrying it into the gulf of mexico. let me show you a couple models here. first of all, this is rainfall. this will give you a good idea that that center most likely will stay over open waters. notice this other little shift here, that's jose. so, we know it's not going to follow the same path and get in the open waters. that's good. but this model shows heavy amounts of rain into cuba where we could have easily over 20 inches. we are already looking at isolated 12 to 15 amounts. this is the european model. it takes it into the high terrain of cuba. central cuba toward the east, that could help break the system down. but that water is extremely warm and at 90 mil

it really wasn't until she met george saharas whom she married that these ended.you can see, sports is used as that tool of defining one's sexuality even if it happens to this is what's going on at this time. right? i understand there's much controversy about the idea of the all american girls professional baseball league and you've brought up many of the argued about, whether or not it was right to have charm and beauty school. it did kind of establish ideas in the precursor of title nine, you know, women did go there on an average 8.2%, whereas women in the league went an average of 35%, of which 14% then pursued graduate degrees. so there is a possibility that women did gain agency through this. you can see the timeline through all of this, right? it starts off with women's baseball in the early 19th and early 20th century, then moves on to the all american girls professional baseball league. then we come to the 1973 court this was a court case in new jersey. what she decided was that girls should be allowed to play in little leagues, and this reconstituted the
