[00:00:10] Iran conveys its conditions to mediators for
[00:00:13] restarting negotiations with the United States in an effort to
[00:00:16] bring the war to an
[00:00:26] Denmark and Greenland reach an agreement to hand over the Arctic
[00:00:29] Island. security to
[00:00:31] Washington.
[00:00:33] Voting in Russia's parliamentary elections continues for
[00:00:36] second day with the country claiming to have prevented cyber
[00:00:40] attacks targeting its online voting
[00:00:42] system.
[00:00:44] According to hospital sources, the son of And weeks after a populist right-wing party won
[00:00:48] its first election victory since World War II. German
[00:00:51] voters are going to the polls in two states including
[00:00:54] Berlin.
[00:01:13] Iran says it has sent its conditions to resume negotiations
[00:01:17] with the United States as diplomatic efforts continue
[00:01:20] to bring the war to an end. Security chief
[00:01:23] Mohsin Rizai told Al-Jazeera that Tehran
[00:01:26] wants an end to the war on all fronts. release of
[00:01:30] frozen funds and an end to the naval blockade. He says
[00:01:34] the conditions were conveyed to Washington through Qatar, while Pakistan
[00:01:38] also remains involved in mediation. Iran now
[00:01:42] awaits US President Donald Trump's response, but
[00:01:45] Razza says it is also preparing for the
[00:01:48] possibility of renewed US
[00:01:51] strikes.
[00:01:53] Rami Hori is a distinguished public policy fellow at the American
[00:01:58] and Iceland as part of University of Beirot. He says Iran believes. "the US has backed
[00:02:00] itself into a corner, making mediation increasingly
[00:02:04] important to finding a way out of the
[00:02:07] conflict. The Iranians feel the Americans are
[00:02:11] really in a corner, as does most of the world,
[00:02:14] most, reasonable people analyze this around the world
[00:02:18] think the Americans know what to
[00:02:21] the buyer could offer just one third of do, and they don't want to just surrender, and so there's the the
[00:02:25] mediation becomes so important, and the
[00:02:28] Pakistanis and Qataris now..." have a really, really significant
[00:02:32] role, they can end the naval
[00:02:34] blockade pretty
[00:02:36] easily,
[00:02:38] and it's in their interest in the US to do that,
[00:02:42] the the Iranians would then stop attacking from
[00:02:45] their side, and the the US
[00:02:49] is much more in a difficult position now
[00:02:53] because of what's happened to their big allies Saudi Arabia, Saudi
[00:02:56] Arabia is in a real mess with the...
[00:03:00] in Yemen, the Babel mendeb coming under Yemani
[00:03:03] control, so that was and they forced the
[00:03:07] Iranians to do this and that, any agreement is gonna
[00:03:11] have both sides
[00:03:14] turkey is playing a doing something, it's not just a it's this isn't a surrender by one
[00:03:17] safety and the integrity of side to the other, so the Iranians
[00:03:20] would agree to free movement of boats, they'd agree if
[00:03:24] there's going to be any fees or whatever, those would be negotiated, but the key
[00:03:27] points would be reciprocal, otherwise. It wouldn't
[00:03:30] work. The Saudi backed military
[00:03:34] coalition says it thoughted major attack by
[00:03:37] Yemen-based Ansarullah Hutis who targeted
[00:03:41] several cities, including the capital Riyadh with missiles and
[00:03:44] drones. The coalition says air defenses intercepted ballistic
[00:03:48] missile over Riyadh where a huge ploom of black
[00:03:51] smoke was seen earlier in the day at the King Khalid
[00:03:54] International Airport. Civilians in several cities,
[00:03:58] including Bish, Thaiif. and farasan were also
[00:04:02] attacked. the hoothies said the attacks were in retaliation
[00:04:05] against Saudi air
[00:04:07] strikes.
[00:04:10] accordingly, the Yemani armed forces, with the help of Almighty
[00:04:13] God, carried out two military operations, using a large
[00:04:17] number of ballistic and cruise missiles and drones. the first
[00:04:21] as the day draws to a targeted sensitive sites in the capital of the Saudi enemy,
[00:04:24] Riyadh and the second targeted Aramco in
[00:04:27] Yambo. the two operations were the help of almighty
[00:04:30] God was successful and
[00:04:32] issue and to strike a resulted in large fires breaking out at the targeted
[00:04:35] sites.
[00:04:38] In latest interview, Turkish foreign minister Hakan Fedan
[00:04:41] said Turkia stands in solidarity with Saudi Arabia
[00:04:45] in the face of Hothy attacks. Here's what he had to
[00:04:49] say.
[00:04:53] targeted sensitive sites in the capital of At this point we see that they have been very serious attacks on Saudi
[00:04:56] Arabia's territorial integrity and sovereignty. Our agreement.
[00:05:00] includes a treaty of alliance, and we stand by our
[00:05:03] word, we stand in solidarity on this
[00:05:06] issue, as the ministry of foreign affairs, we particularly condemn the
[00:05:09] attacks on oil infrastructure, especially those
[00:05:12] targeting mecca as the Mecca lines we are closely
[00:05:15] monitoring the situation, they may be military needs, particularly
[00:05:19] regarding certain technical matters and we will have no
[00:05:23] difficulty in meeting those needs.
[00:05:26] The Israeli military has continued its raids in southern Lebanon targeting
[00:05:30] civilian neighborhoods in another violation of the cease fire signed in
[00:05:33] June. The raid was accompanied by artillery shelling on the outskirts of the
[00:05:37] town of Zotar Shariah in the Nabatia district.
[00:05:41] Several bulldozers was. demolishing homes in the tire
[00:05:44] district, and there are reports of a blast in the
[00:05:47] bordertown of Masal
[00:05:49] Jabal.
[00:05:51] Meanwhile, four people have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza.
[00:05:57] the health director general was killed by a drone attack in Jabalya,
[00:06:00] while another person died in a drone strike in Gaza City, and
[00:06:04] sniper fire at the Nuserat refugee campus killed a young
[00:06:08] girl.
[00:06:11] For many other. children in Gaza who have survived three years of Israel's
[00:06:15] war, going back to school is no longer an
[00:06:18] option. Abdul Wahaab Hamed brings us their
[00:06:20] story.
[00:06:23] 13 year old Muhammad Abu dreams of the
[00:06:26] days when he used to go to school. I
[00:06:30] should be in ninth grade, but I can't go to school. If I do my
[00:06:34] family stavs, my father has severe back injury and we have
[00:06:37] no income. I have to support
[00:06:39] everyone.
[00:06:42] About. 700 thousand children have missed formal in
[00:06:45] person schooling for almost the years and nearly
[00:06:49] 98% of a school buildings have been destroyed by
[00:06:52] Israel. this is where muhammad's family is sheltering inside a
[00:06:56] school as Gaza enters a new school year, the
[00:06:59] building is still being used as a shelter. for the children who can
[00:07:03] reach them, classes will resume at temporary learning points across
[00:07:07] Gaza. his mother says there six children in the
[00:07:11] family, the... is other income,
[00:07:15] when muhammad wakes up, he wants to go to school like other children,
[00:07:19] instead he goes out to collect plastic and cardboard to
[00:07:22] build fire. i prepared the tea for him to
[00:07:25] sell. i should be carrying a school
[00:07:29] bag, but instead i carry tea thermoces to sell on the
[00:07:32] street. for children who cannot reach learning
[00:07:36] spaces. lessons can be followed online, but the family
[00:07:40] says it has no phone for classes and
[00:07:46] He tells me, mom, I see other kids learning, but how can
[00:07:50] I leave you? No one else can support the family.
[00:07:53] I told him we couldn't afford it, so he said, it's okay, mom,
[00:07:57] I won't study anymore, I will just work and bring money
[00:08:00] home, around 35000
[00:08:04] students, I expected to return via
[00:08:07] 700, newly set up physical learning points and temporary
[00:08:10] tent schools, but for. a school will have to wait for
[00:08:14] now earning enough to keep his family alive comes
[00:08:26] critical role in protecting regional
[00:08:29] security. erdan also praised the country's parliament for
[00:08:32] unanimously passing anti-terror laws calling the decision
[00:08:36] history. The last 6
[00:08:39] months.
[00:09:42] has now been done that he says will give the US permanent
[00:09:46] security control over it. NATO says it will help
[00:09:49] advance security and stability in the vital region. Denmark says it
[00:09:53] guarantees sovereignty and greenlanders right to
[00:10:03] Trump during his first turn by
[00:10:06] Greenland. This is something that's been discussed for many
[00:10:09] years. Harry Truman had the idea of. For
[00:10:13] Denmark, the idea was simply absurd,
[00:10:16] but once back in the white house, Trump made
[00:10:19] Greenland, one of his main goals. We need
[00:10:23] Greenland for. national security and even
[00:10:26] international security and it has a population of less than
[00:10:30] 60,000, but is rich and rare minerals
[00:10:33] and strategically important.
[00:10:36] Russia has been expanding its presence in the
[00:10:39] arctic, and as arctic ice melts, new
[00:10:43] global shipping roots are opening up.
[00:10:47] Trump's repeated push for Greenland, angered
[00:10:50] European allies, tensions rose
[00:10:53] further when... Vice President GD Vans
[00:10:56] visited the semi-autonomous Danish Island and
[00:11:00] criticized Copenhagen. You have
[00:11:03] not done a good job by the people of Greenland. You have
[00:11:06] underinvested in the people of Greenland and you have underinvested in the
[00:11:10] security architecture of this incredible, beautiful land mass
[00:11:14] filled with incredible people. EU countries
[00:11:17] responded by sending more troops and their operation
[00:11:21] Arctic endurance. Trump retaliated by.
[00:11:25] threatening tariffs, eventually he got the deal
[00:11:29] he wanted. in a lengthy true social post, trump
[00:11:32] announced with great fan fair that the agreement would
[00:11:36] give the US what he called permanent control over
[00:11:40] greenland security and address all US
[00:11:43] concerns. the US has
[00:11:47] long kept more than a handed personnel at pitofig
[00:11:51] space base in northwestern Greenland, the island.
[00:11:55] has been central to NATO's northern defenses and
[00:11:58] hosts radar systems, Washington
[00:12:01] deems vital to its missile warning network,
[00:12:05] tramp stated goal a golden dome
[00:12:08] shield against Russia and China, but for
[00:12:11] allies that plan is far from
[00:12:14] reassuring, he sparked outrage earlier
[00:12:18] this month by posting map that showed Canada
[00:12:23] the US. his critics may dismiss
[00:12:26] his ambitions, but however improbable his ideas
[00:12:30] appear, Donald Trump has managed to get
[00:12:34] what he wants, one way or
[00:12:37] another,
[00:12:42] but foreign relations, he says the new agreement looks more like an
[00:12:45] expansion of arrangements that were already in place, suggesting
[00:12:49] trump has backed away from his earlier
[00:12:51] demands, trump wanted
[00:12:55] of Greenland, he said, "I need to own it," and he threatened the
[00:12:59] Europeans with tariffs, and then he threatened potential
[00:13:03] use of military force, and it led to, perhaps one
[00:13:06] could call it a low point in the transatlantic
[00:13:10] alliance since it came into being after after World
[00:13:14] War II, with Europeans deploying troops to
[00:13:17] Greenland and drawing a red line. What we're seeing
[00:13:20] here is essentially Trump backing
[00:13:22] down.
[00:13:25] the deal are, it hasn't been signed yet, it should be
[00:13:29] signed this week at the UN general assembly in New
[00:13:32] York, but it looks very much like Trump
[00:13:36] has taken what already existed, a 1951
[00:13:39] defense agreement that gives the United States the right to deploy
[00:13:43] troops, to open bases, to put radar there, there's nothing new
[00:13:47] there, the only thing that seems to be potentially new
[00:13:51] is an agreement that Russia and China can't
[00:13:54] open. bases there that the United States would have the
[00:13:58] right of first refusal to review other
[00:14:01] countries coming into invest and buy assets
[00:14:04] in Greenland. This really was, I think a breaking point in the
[00:14:08] U.S. European relationship. If Trump had
[00:14:11] pushed this Greenland issue and said,
[00:14:15] "I need it, I want to own it, no matter what, it really
[00:14:19] could have been an irrepairable breach
[00:14:22] in NATO, and so I think NATO members..." are breathing a siy of
[00:14:26] relief that deal seems to have been
[00:14:29] struck, yes, there will be concrete improvements
[00:14:32] in the security situation in the north, there will be more US
[00:14:36] bases, more US radar, more US ship, it will be
[00:14:39] harder for adversarial forces, Russia and
[00:14:43] China in particular, to make inroads into the
[00:14:46] Arctic area, but mainly what we're seeing here
[00:14:50] is the Trump administration deciding not to
[00:14:54] push the... ownership reasonable
[00:14:58] deal. the white house correspondence association has
[00:15:02] demanded the restoration of access for banned colleagues
[00:15:05] calling their removal unconstitutional.
[00:15:08] reporters for CNN, ms now and politico had their
[00:15:12] passes confiscated when they showed up for their assignments.
[00:15:16] Trump accused them of reporting what he called fake news and suggested
[00:15:20] more news outlets could face similar restrictions.
[00:15:23] CNN has called his
[00:15:37] he's banned the entire press previously from the
[00:15:41] pentagon except one news organization if they wouldn't follow his
[00:15:44] rules, he's he's had 61 lawsuits
[00:15:47] and defamation cases since his first presidency
[00:15:51] against the press, 25 lawsuits in the last year and a
[00:15:54] half since he's been president the second time, he constantly
[00:15:58] attacks the press as fake news, as corrupt
[00:16:01] uh as um you know his sal
[00:16:05] reporters for their gender,
[00:16:08] the the attack on the press is unprecedent in US history, that said, there's
[00:16:11] always been a struggle with the press in US history
[00:16:15] since the first presidents, at the beginning of the US republic we
[00:16:19] had lot of yellow journalism,
[00:16:22] where they wouldn't fact check their own articles and lot of opinion
[00:16:26] rather than fact, and the whole development of the first
[00:16:29] amendment in US history has created the situation now
[00:16:33] where Trump regularly loses in the courts because there have been so
[00:16:36] many loss suits by the press against US presidents and
[00:16:40] previous administrations that not only judges but
[00:16:44] the very pro Trump Supreme Court are usually
[00:16:47] unwilling to side with him on these first amendment questions because they're so
[00:16:50] fundamental to American democracy. He's no right under
[00:16:54] current US law to do what he did, of course he does many of
[00:16:58] his presidential actions domestically and internationally, including
[00:17:01] lot of the things we cover on tier two world, not with
[00:17:04] congressional or legal approval but by
[00:17:07] executive um action and uh these things
[00:17:11] regularly get challenged in the court, um, I'm sure you followed the tariff issue or most
[00:17:15] of this tariffs were struck down in the courts, his attacks on the media are struck down in the
[00:17:18] courts, his attacks on elections are struck down in the
[00:17:21] courts, he lost all 61 lawsuits about the last
[00:17:24] election, which he still claims he he won, the the one that he lost to biden in
[00:17:28] 2020, and yet on key
[00:17:32] cases, the Supreme Court will, if they
[00:17:35] can, if they can sort of do it without destroying the reputation will side with
[00:17:39] Trump. US military says it has killed
[00:17:43] four people in a strike a vessel in the Caribbean. US southern
[00:17:47] command says intelligence showed the vessel was involved in drug
[00:17:50] trafficking. The strike is the latest in a campaign launched last
[00:17:54] year against groups the Trump administration describes as
[00:17:57] narco-terrorists. Human rights groups have criticized the
[00:18:00] operations as extrajudicial
[00:18:03] killings.
[00:18:05] Russia says it has foiled. attacks targeting its online
[00:18:09] voting system on the second day of its parliamentary election.
[00:18:13] According to officials, the attacks happened overnight. The central
[00:18:16] election commission says specialists worked
[00:18:19] non-stop to fend off the threats. It added that
[00:18:22] Moscow's remote voting system remained operational during the second
[00:18:26] day of voting. The election is the first since Russia launched
[00:18:29] its war in Ukraine in
[00:18:31] 2022.
[00:18:34] All attacks have been successfully.
[00:18:38] are being repelled and I am certain will continue to
[00:18:42] be repelled. technical specialists and voting organizers
[00:18:45] have the situation fully under control and the system
[00:18:49] security ensures the continuity of voting, data
[00:18:55] the citizen's expression of will, and I want
[00:18:57] emphasize that of course the attackers will not
[00:19:01] succeed. two German regional elections this
[00:19:05] weekend are expected to bring further gains. for the far right in a
[00:19:08] vote that could test chancellor frederick mertz's grip on
[00:19:19] right as voters in the eastern German state of Mecklenburg
[00:19:22] Forperman head to the polls on Sunday. We need an
[00:19:26] alternative and that alternative is alternative for
[00:19:30] Germany. The right-wing alternative for Germany party is
[00:19:34] leading, but the center left social democrats. hot
[00:19:37] on their heels. I am pleased that all
[00:19:41] polls show that a large majority wants to continue my work as
[00:19:45] state premier. We are a strong and beautiful state and there's
[00:19:48] still many issues that I want us to tackle together, the economy,
[00:19:52] jobs, education. That is why I appeal to all
[00:19:55] citizens to vote SPD.
[00:19:59] The AFD's momentum comes off the back of securing a whopping.
[00:20:03] 43.8% of the vote in neighboring Saxony.
[00:20:07] Anthold state elections earlier this month, that results
[00:20:11] saw a historic defeat for chancellor Friedrick
[00:20:14] Murz's conservative Christian Democratic
[00:20:17] Union. There is lot of frustration, we
[00:20:21] never had such a bad chancelor in Germany. I have to say it like
[00:20:25] that. The AFD has been gaining
[00:20:28] popularity for several years, often
[00:20:31] capitalizing issues surrounding migration. Policies
[00:20:35] include closing the border to asy. seekers and re
[00:20:38] migration, meaning sending people born outside of
[00:20:42] Germany back to their original countries and
[00:20:45] mass, but how does their attitude and approach land
[00:20:49] with voters?
[00:21:20] clear cut favorites. Still, the Macklenburg
[00:21:23] Forperman vote is not just about who wins, but
[00:21:27] more of measure of the country's overall political
[00:21:30] mood. The AFD's rise and the
[00:21:33] CDU's losses are being linked to Chancelor Mertz is declining
[00:21:37] popularity. He now faces increasing pressure
[00:21:40] from within his party to step a side, and
[00:21:44] so Sunday's elections may just
[00:22:08] Capital Yaone where thousands of women and
[00:22:12] men have taken to the street to demand justice and an
[00:22:16] end to violence against women. This protest.
[00:22:20] is unprecedented in the nation's capital, violence against
[00:22:23] women is not new in Cameroon, but activists
[00:22:27] say a resten increase in killings has been
[00:22:29] alarming with more than 60 women killed between
[00:22:33] January and August this year alone, many
[00:22:37] of those murder cases activists say are femicides,
[00:22:41] meaning victims were killed because of the
[00:22:43] agenda, only one with we have more than eight
[00:22:47] cases, it's enough for a country that... in peace,
[00:22:51] family are crying, children are offen because of
[00:22:54] emicide, because a man has decided
[00:22:57] to kill, to slaughter woman,
[00:23:00] human being like him, we are crying, enough is enough,
[00:23:04] the government must do something, it is urgent and right
[00:23:07] now, men should work hand in group with
[00:23:11] women to stop that violence, because it's
[00:23:14] gender approach, the women alone can do it, men alone can do it, so
[00:23:17] it's together that we do it in order to uh obtained a
[00:23:21] peaceful country, a peaceful home first, a peaceful family,
[00:23:24] a peaceful community, a peaceful society and a peaceful country.
[00:23:28] demonstrations like this have been growing across the
[00:23:31] country after what activists described as years
[00:23:35] of little action by authorities to prevent
[00:23:38] violence and abuse against women. the government says it
[00:23:42] is working a piece of legislation to make
[00:23:45] gender-based violence a crime. that bill is
[00:23:49] expected to tabled in parliament when it meets in
[00:23:52] November this year, organizers say protest
[00:23:56] will continue next Saturday in Duala, the
[00:23:59] country's commercial capital. Women's rights group
[00:24:02] say this time they will be making sure there
[00:24:06] is action, not just words, to end
[00:24:09] gender-based violence in the Central African
[00:24:11] nation.
[00:24:14] Nearly billion people across Africa still rely on wood and
[00:24:17] charcoal, exposing them to severe. health risks from household
[00:24:21] air pollution, but a Nairobi-based company is using
[00:24:25] carbon finance to make electric induction stoves
[00:24:28] affordable. experts warn however that relying soly on
[00:24:31] carbon credits could slow
[00:24:40] Cavutha now starts with the press of a
[00:24:43] button. for this Kenyan Mother of Two, the
[00:24:47] switch to electric induction cooking, has slashed
[00:24:50] her daily fuel costs. the stove also allows her to
[00:24:54] prepare hot meals safer and faster
[00:24:58] inside her home. without the hazards of toxic
[00:25:01] smoke that contributes to about
[00:25:04] 85000 deaths every year on the
[00:25:07] continent. when i compare it with the charcoal it is
[00:25:10] cheaper because like in a day when i was using the charcoal
[00:25:14] find that i'm using around about 1 us with a charcoal per
[00:25:18] day and with this one when i buy a token of 80 us
[00:25:21] cents, it lasts me to the second day. to
[00:25:25] make clean cooking alternatives accessible,
[00:25:29] manufacturers like burn use carbon finance and pay
[00:25:32] as you go plans to heavily subsidize upfront
[00:25:36] retail costs. the Nairobi based company
[00:25:40] says it has distributed more than 7.3 million
[00:25:43] stores across 11 African countries. Built
[00:25:47] in computer chips, track. data in real
[00:25:51] time through GSM, allowing the company to
[00:25:55] sell verified carbon credits to international
[00:25:57] investors to fund the discount. Only
[00:26:01] way that is going to scale on the continent
[00:26:04] is through carbon project finance, and
[00:26:08] so it's a great model, governments can earn revenue
[00:26:11] from it that's brought by carbon project finance. In
[00:26:15] June, Africa secured $900
[00:26:17] million dollars in clean cooking financial
[00:26:20] commitments, according to the international energy
[00:26:23] agency, but critics argue that
[00:26:27] building an entire green energy transition on
[00:26:30] volatile carbon markets.
[00:26:32] poses a massive risk for the continent, if we
[00:26:36] depend holy on carbon credits to support the
[00:26:40] transition, it will be extremely slow
[00:26:44] uh, and it will not happen at the pace that we need it. the other
[00:26:47] issue for carbon market is before you can
[00:26:51] trade on the carbon market, you need to build the asset. back
[00:26:54] at Mary's home, her old charcoal stove sits
[00:26:58] outside next to piles of fuel still used.
[00:27:02] by her neighbors and while policy experts debate
[00:27:06] on the future of carbon finance, millions of
[00:27:09] families across the continent cannot
[00:27:12] afford the upfront costs needed to make the clean

[00:29:59] resume negotiations with the United States as diplomate. dramatic
[00:30:02] efforts continued to bring the war to an end. Security chief
[00:30:06] Mohsin Rizai told Al-Jazeera that Tehran wants an end
[00:30:10] to the war on all fronts, the release of frozen funds and an end
[00:30:14] to the naval blockade.
[00:30:17] The Saudi Arabia backed coalition says it forted attack
[00:30:21] by Yemen-based Ansarullah Hufis who targeted several
[00:30:25] cities, including the capital Riyad, using missiles and
[00:30:28] drones. Civilians in several cities, including Bish.
[00:30:33] and farasan were also attacked. the hoti said
[00:30:36] the attacks were in retaliation against saudi air
[00:30:40] strikes.
[00:30:43] accordingly, the yemeny armed forces with the help of almighty
[00:30:47] god carried out two military operations, using a large
[00:30:50] number of ballistic and cruise missiles and drones. the first
[00:30:56] the saudi enemy, riad and the second
[00:30:59] targeted aramco in Yambo. the two
[00:31:02] operation with the help of Almighty God was successful and
[00:31:05] resulted in large fires breaking out at the targeted
[00:31:08] sites.
[00:31:10] The Israeli military has continued its raid in southern
[00:31:13] Lebanon. The raid was accompanied by artillery shelling
[00:31:17] in the Nabetia district. Several bulldozers were spotted demolishing homes
[00:31:21] in the Tier district and they are reports of a blast attacks across
[00:31:24] Gaza. According to hospital sources, the son of the health
[00:31:28] director general was killed by a drone attack in Jabalya,
[00:31:31] while another person died in a drone strike in Gaza City, and
[00:31:35] sniper fire at the Nuseirat refugee camp has killed a young
[00:31:39] go. Donald Trump has announced the US has
[00:31:43] made deal for a greater.
[00:31:45] presence in Greenland, the US president says it will give permanent
[00:31:48] control over security and address many US
[00:31:52] concerns. Denmark's prime minister says the deal
[00:31:55] recognizes its sovereignty and the right to
[00:31:58] self-determination.
[00:32:01] Russia says it has foiled cyber attacks targeting its online
[00:32:05] voting system on the second day of its parliamentary
[00:32:08] election. According to officials, voters were able to cast
[00:32:12] montiw.
[00:32:24] Now it feels very hot, we can't
[00:32:27] survive any longer living in this increasingly hot
[00:32:31] area.
[00:32:35] The food at home is only enough for 2 days,
[00:32:39] what if it runs out
[00:32:41] later?
[00:32:46] These are the stories of people living on the front lines of climate
[00:32:49] change. The risks and threats of climate change are
[00:32:53] real. This is not just some kind of projection, this is happening right
[00:32:56] now.
[00:32:59] Communities across Asia are constantly fighting a daily
[00:33:03] battle. Intense heat waves are killing
[00:33:07] thousands.
[00:33:09] Prolonged droughts are destroying livelihoods. While
[00:33:12] people's homes sink into the sea.
[00:34:50] As dawn breaks, local fruit farmers in the Mikon delta are
[00:34:54] already gathering outside the government's water distribution
[00:34:57] center. Their most basic need is under ration due
[00:35:01] to prolonged drought lasting over three months.
[00:35:15] I came out in the morning to wait for the brothers and sisters to submit their tickets so
[00:35:18] I could quickly
[00:35:21] get it early. If there's
[00:35:24] a car, it will be full and it will be
[00:35:28] difficult for my small car to squeeze in.
[00:35:51] Every day, there are about 100 to 150
[00:35:54] households that get water here. This year, for Phu Hong,
[00:35:58] á là khốc liệt bản thân tôi là 40 năm rồi
[00:36:02] and have never seen such harsh salinity. In 2016, it was only around
[00:36:05] 2.2-2.3 grams, but now it is high
[00:36:08] at 7.8, nearly 8 grams per
[00:36:12] liter.
[00:36:18] Known as The Kingdom of Fruits, over 1.2 million people in
[00:36:22] Tienggang province rely on the fertile land for their main source
[00:36:26] of income.
[00:36:28] Every season, the farmers deal with saline contamination,
[00:36:32] natural process in the delta, where salty
[00:36:35] seawater mixes with freshwater
[00:36:37] rivers,
[00:36:39] but this year, rising sea levels and prolonged drought has caused the
[00:36:43] contamination to last for the months longer than normal, at
[00:36:47] intensity never seen before.
[00:36:50] 310 square miles of fruit trees, area larger than
[00:36:54] Singapore, is under threat from water shortage.
[00:37:00] the amount of food in this area exported to the world
[00:37:04] is also very large. So, when rice production in the Mekong
[00:37:07] Delta is lacking or decreasing,
[00:37:11] it will affect the balance of food
[00:37:14] imports and exports in the Asian
[00:37:17] region.
[00:37:46] every morning basically here people wake up very early,
[00:37:50] our day start very very early like like by 6
[00:37:53] 6:30 and then we start
[00:37:56] to first... check the
[00:37:58] animal, these are
[00:38:02] small
[00:38:05] and we look at the health of the shirim to see that this shirims are they
[00:38:09] eating, how's the skin, how is the got,
[00:38:13] so we learn by
[00:38:14] experience.
[00:38:18] 10 years ago, Dr. Fashad decided to leave his
[00:38:21] corporate job and turn his hand to indoor
[00:38:24] farming. Since then, he has built. up
[00:38:27] his independent company to become the first intensive urban farm in
[00:38:31] Singapore using water sustainably. so
[00:38:35] these are the tank that we have like baby shrim. this is one of them.
[00:38:39] we have almost about two million shrim
[00:38:42] larv and we have fish also. we have here
[00:38:45] baby grouper.
[00:38:49] singapore imports 90% of its fruits, vegetables and
[00:38:53] fish. the island nation is particularly vulnerable to
[00:38:57] change. in international food trade, as poor harvests
[00:39:00] can mean countries reduce exports to protect their domestic food
[00:39:04] supply.
[00:39:06] Dr. Vishard's ambition is that his shrimp will provide Singapore with
[00:39:10] secure food
[00:39:11] source.
[00:39:14] I personally believe that for nation like us very
[00:39:17] small with very limited
[00:39:20] resources in terms of land and food production
[00:39:23] and to be 100% depend on the outside.
[00:39:28] It's not very safe, that's why indoor farming,
[00:39:31] I believe is the future of the aquaculture, it's a simple
[00:39:35] reason because you can set up this
[00:39:37] everybody,
[00:39:41] the impact of the global warming on the indoor farming, it would not
[00:39:45] be too much, because you separating yourself from the whole
[00:39:48] ecosystem surrounding,
[00:39:52] but here too, water supply is major
[00:39:55] issue, the world. Resources Institute
[00:39:59] ranks Singapore as one of the most water stressed countries in the
[00:40:02] world, but Dr. Fasad has developed a
[00:40:05] natural system to prolong the life of his
[00:40:07] water. Yeah, I want to show you our
[00:40:11] water and you can
[00:40:14] see our water is a green and this is because we
[00:40:18] mimicking the nature, we try to create a
[00:40:21] environment that it's use all the
[00:40:24] elements that exist in the ocean by. doing this
[00:40:28] we lower our cost of water treatment
[00:40:31] because green water means you have alg, you have fight of
[00:40:35] lang, what a fight of langton does, they absorb all the
[00:40:38] ammonium,
[00:40:41] the green system will allow us to maintain and hold
[00:40:45] the water much much more longer than the average outdoor
[00:40:48] farm.
[00:41:28] quite heavy
[00:41:30] too,
[00:41:32] but well, my name isn't that long,
[00:41:36] but I don't know my age, I'm almost 65.
[00:42:12] I'm going to Wisma housing because there's a call for one person.
[00:42:15] I don't know if it's tough or not because the location there is a rocky
[00:42:19] area. Let's go. All tidy now.
[00:42:40] residents are connected to the official water
[00:42:42] system,
[00:42:44] millions of households and commercial businesses are forced to
[00:42:48] privately pump fresh water from aquafers deep beneath the
[00:42:51] city.
[00:42:57] currently the central jakarta are
[00:43:00] pretty much covered in terms of access to clean
[00:43:03] water. there's still a problem on the outskirt of
[00:43:07] Jakarta, there are residential areas. that
[00:43:10] do not have access to this clean water that provided
[00:43:14] by government, so for those areas they
[00:43:17] actually have no choices than to extract ground
[00:43:20] water,
[00:43:27] Well, for the Jakarta area, it's getting
[00:43:30] worse and worse due to pollution. There are so many
[00:43:33] residents, they have difficulty with water.
[00:43:37] Maybe if we go to PAM, we will incur double costs. We have to buy
[00:43:40] again. If we drill a borewell, we only make it once.
[00:44:18] As the morning sun heats up, No is completing her
[00:44:21] fifth journey back and forth from the water collection
[00:44:24] point.
[00:44:33] When the water is salty, I'll ask my brother to
[00:44:37] buy this pond for me sometimes.
[00:44:41] If I don't have enough water for two or three days, I'll pump it for two or three
[00:44:45] days.
[00:45:05] No's family have been fruit farmers for generations,
[00:45:09] traditionally growing.
[00:45:23] Our family has been growing trees for 3 years and we have
[00:45:27] 68 trees. We decided to plant durian trees because people
[00:45:31] make a lot of money from them. Sister, what do you think?
[00:45:34] The small money is nothing, I want to save up a lot of money so
[00:45:38] that I can have money to build a house later.
[00:45:43] The best quality durians can sell for more than
[00:45:46] $75 each, but they are
[00:45:49] notoriously water intensive fruits.
[00:45:52] Young trees like Nos demand eight liters
[00:45:55] of water a day or they will die in a matter of
[00:45:58] weeks.
[00:46:04] About half of them died, leaving only about four rows, a few dozen
[00:46:08] trees. If this dry spell lasts for another month,
[00:46:12] my garden will probably only have 15 to
[00:46:15] 20 trees left at most.
[00:46:29] Durian farmers across Tieneng province in South
[00:46:32] Vietnam face the same dilemma, whether to hold
[00:46:35] firm or cut their losses and switch to less water-intensive fruit.
[00:46:42] Just miles away in the same region, another
[00:46:45] Durium farmer is drawing on all her resources and decades of
[00:46:49] experience to survive this season's water scarcity.
[00:46:58] I have lived here for decades, I was born
[00:47:02] and raised
[00:47:03] here.
[00:47:08] From the day I was born until now, I am over sixty, and I have only
[00:47:12] just experienced such salty water. In previous years,
[00:47:15] the irrigation was still natural and abundant, there was nothing. Only this year
[00:47:19] is the salt water too high.
[00:47:25] Unlike other Durian farmers, chi doesn't rely
[00:47:28] on the government's supply of water. Her
[00:47:31] solution is to maintain a private pond, which she replenishes
[00:47:35] every year during the rainy season.
[00:47:38] Before, some people had it, some didn't. Now they see
[00:47:42] high economic value, so they're filling them up. But I keep
[00:47:45] mine for
[00:47:46] irrigation.
[00:47:50] Other places, people are complacent.
[00:47:52] They don't think about the weather forecast, so they're complacent.
[00:47:56] That's why their trees got damaged
[00:47:58] like that.
[00:48:02] I take care of my garden for another 10 years,
[00:48:06] I will also entrust my trees to my
[00:48:09] niece. I see that she knows how to garden and lives according
[00:48:13] to my way.
[00:48:16] the search for water has far larger
[00:48:18] implications.
[00:48:31] We just started working for 3
[00:48:33] hours, but we found a problem,
[00:48:37] the dirty water from below won't come up,
[00:48:40] so this is the last
[00:48:43] pipe, thank God, hopefully we have found
[00:48:47] a water source
[00:48:49] like water.
[00:48:56] the problem is the difference from the water earlier. Previously, the water source was
[00:49:00] here, maybe there was a lot even though the depth was shallow,
[00:49:03] water still came out. Now it's getting deeper and deeper, the surface
[00:49:07] water extraction is getting deeper, but
[00:49:10] the water quality is not necessarily good.
[00:49:22] very existence. Over extraction of
[00:49:25] groundwater, combined with globally rising sea levels,
[00:49:29] is causing the entire city to sink. By
[00:49:32] 2050, north Jakarta, area home
[00:49:36] to nearly 1.5 million people will be
[00:49:39] uninhabitable.
[00:49:43] So we have sea lever on one end and
[00:49:47] other end, so who is the bigger colporate? So if we look at the
[00:49:50] number, the northern side of... Karta is sinking about
[00:49:54] 25 cm per year, whereas the sea
[00:49:58] level rise issues is about 10
[00:50:00] cm for three decades,
[00:50:04] so the difference is huge, yes we having impact of sea lever
[00:50:07] rises, but what's happening locally from the extraction of ground
[00:50:11] water really outweights the sea lever rice issue that we are
[00:50:15] facing right now,
[00:50:18] well i don't think people are fully to blame
[00:50:22] because is they need what they need
[00:50:25] to do uh, but we do need a better
[00:50:28] system to provide them with uh more
[00:50:31] accessible, clean water, more
[00:50:34] economical, so enabling conditions to
[00:50:37] move away from extracting ground waters is the key here.
[00:50:56] "It's lunchtime in Singapore, but work doesn't stop on Dr. Fashad's
[00:51:00] farm. No, no, no, this one, the number three one, if the
[00:51:04] joint is not good, use this one. He's
[00:51:07] preparing for a large delivery of shrimp larve, but he's worried that the
[00:51:11] lining in his new tank isn't secure, and his water is
[00:51:15] too precious to lose. I'm talking about
[00:51:17] this, so this one, I think the
[00:51:21] showing." this one the singingah i worry is
[00:51:24] not good so what you do you just use
[00:51:28] from this you can cut from this one and just
[00:51:32] put there and then do so at least we finish one good
[00:51:35] and my hdb coming very soon now
[00:51:39] only here only this one only here licking oters is
[00:51:43] okay
[00:51:47] anything leak you know what i do yeah we have to
[00:51:51] finish the latest egg Everything must be ready by this month because we have
[00:51:55] shrimp coming in, we have a shrim to fill up all this
[00:51:59] tank, otherwise we don't have space, we have almost 2
[00:52:02] million larv here, this is 60. at two million we can
[00:52:06] harvest about 40 tons of shimp, yes very
[00:52:09] stressful, it's a lot of money, it's
[00:52:13] difficult.
[00:52:17] there are currently 12 urban fish farms like this in Singapore,
[00:52:21] but that number is set to rise and they're under pressure to
[00:52:24] increase productivity as they race to meet an ambitious
[00:52:28] national food security target.
[00:52:31] Singapore has very big goal to achieve the...
[00:52:35] 30% required nutrition to produce locally by the
[00:52:38] 2030, how realistic is that, how is
[00:52:42] achievable, i would just say a bit of a long stretch
[00:52:46] go, maybe we won't be able to achieve to the
[00:52:49] 30%, but definitely we will achieve to much more better than
[00:52:52] what we have today, every drop of water here we
[00:52:56] can't, we can just throw the water, so we try
[00:52:59] to reuse the water, some of our water maybe we have it for
[00:53:03] almost a year. "if I tell this one to my friend, the farmer friend
[00:53:07] in other country, they will laugh, but it's
[00:53:10] true, we really, really never though the
[00:53:13] what, no, that leader bit also should not
[00:53:15] link, thank you,
[00:53:33] while no, races to get enough.
[00:53:43] I'm going to the durian market to ask about prices.
[00:53:45] Durian prices are probably around 45-50, which is normal,
[00:53:49] right? Every
[00:53:52] time it's
[00:53:53] 80.
[00:53:57] Now I want to ask if you buy a lot of durians here?
[00:54:00] We buy an average of a ton a day,
[00:54:04] oh? Do you also buy from far away? In
[00:54:07] this area, there are not many durians now because
[00:54:11] of the salt water, the trees are dying.
[00:54:15] even if their durian trees survive water shortage
[00:54:18] often leads farmers with bland or unripe
[00:54:20] fruits if the quality isn't good enough
[00:54:26] the going rate
[00:54:29] If the stem is withered like this, it means
[00:54:33] we only buy goods in bulk. Yes,
[00:54:37] so we can't buy a whole bunch of goods.
[00:54:40] It has to be beautiful to be bought.
[00:54:44] According to me, in the future, every year will be harder
[00:54:48] because the weather is very unpredictable,
[00:54:51] so it was different in previous years. This
[00:54:55] year, I see it like this, and it might last
[00:54:59] longer, not just like
[00:55:00] this.
[00:55:18] After digging for more than seven hours, neming
