00:00:40attacks targeting its online voting
00:00:42system.
00:00:44According to hospital sources, the son of And weeks after a populist right-wing party won
00:00:48its first election victory since World War II. German
00:00:51voters are going to the polls in two states including

00:01:13Iran says it has sent its conditions to resume negotiations
00:01:17with the United States as diplomatic efforts continue
00:01:20to bring the war to an end. Security chief
00:01:23Mohsin Rizai told Al-Jazeera that Tehran
00:01:26wants an end to the war on all fronts. release of
00:01:30frozen funds and an end to the naval blockade. He says
00:01:34the conditions were conveyed to Washington through Qatar, while Pakistan
00:01:38also remains involved in mediation. Iran now
00:01:42awaits US President Donald Trump's response, but
00:01:45Razza says it is also preparing for the
00:01:48possibility of renewed US
00:01:51strikes.
00:01:53Rami Hori is a distinguished public policy fellow at the American
00:01:58and Iceland as part of University of Beirot. He says Iran believes. "the US has backed
00:02:00itself into a corner, making mediation increasingly
00:02:04important to finding a way out of the
00:02:07conflict. The Iranians feel the Americans are
00:02:11really in a corner, as does most of the world,
00:02:14most, reasonable people analyze this around the world
00:02:18think the Americans know what to
00:02:21the buyer could offer just one third of do, and they don't want to just surrender, and so there's the the
00:02:25mediation becomes so important, and the
00:02:28Pakistanis and Qataris now..." have a really, really significant
00:02:32role, they can end the naval
00:02:34blockade pretty
00:02:36easily,
00:02:38and it's in their interest in the US to do that,
00:02:42the the Iranians would then stop attacking from
00:02:45their side, and the the US
00:02:49is much more in a difficult position now
00:02:53because of what's happened to their big allies Saudi Arabia, Saudi
00:02:56Arabia is in a real mess with the...
00:03:00in Yemen, the Babel mendeb coming under Yemani
00:03:03control, so that was and they forced the
00:03:07Iranians to do this and that, any agreement is gonna
00:03:11have both sides
00:03:14turkey is playing a doing something, it's not just a it's this isn't a surrender by one
00:03:17safety and the integrity of side to the other, so the Iranians
00:03:20would agree to free movement of boats, they'd agree if
00:03:24there's going to be any fees or whatever, those would be negotiated, but the key
00:03:27points would be reciprocal, otherwise. It wouldn't
00:03:30work. The Saudi backed military
00:03:34coalition says it thoughted major attack by
00:03:37Yemen-based Ansarullah Hutis who targeted
00:03:41several cities, including the capital Riyadh with missiles and
00:03:44drones. The coalition says air defenses intercepted ballistic
00:03:48missile over Riyadh where a huge ploom of black
00:03:51smoke was seen earlier in the day at the King Khalid
00:03:54International Airport. Civilians in several cities,
00:03:58including Bish, Thaiif. and farasan were also
00:04:02attacked. the hoothies said the attacks were in retaliation
00:04:05against Saudi air
00:04:07strikes.
00:04:10accordingly, the Yemani armed forces, with the help of Almighty
00:04:13God, carried out two military operations, using a large
00:04:17number of ballistic and cruise missiles and drones. the first
00:04:21as the day draws to a targeted sensitive sites in the capital of the Saudi enemy,
00:04:24Riyadh and the second targeted Aramco in
00:04:27Yambo. the two operations were the help of almighty
00:04:30God was successful and
00:04:32issue and to strike a resulted in large fires breaking out at the targeted
00:04:35sites.
00:04:38In latest interview, Turkish foreign minister Hakan Fedan
00:04:41said Turkia stands in solidarity with Saudi Arabia
00:04:45in the face of Hothy attacks. Here's what he had to
00:04:49say.
00:04:53targeted sensitive sites in the capital of At this point we see that they have been very serious attacks on Saudi
00:04:56Arabia's territorial integrity and sovereignty. Our agreement.
00:05:00includes a treaty of alliance, and we stand by our
00:05:03word, we stand in solidarity on this
00:05:06issue, as the ministry of foreign affairs, we particularly condemn the
00:05:09attacks on oil infrastructure, especially those
00:05:12targeting mecca as the Mecca lines we are closely
00:05:15monitoring the situation, they may be military needs, particularly
00:05:19regarding certain technical matters and we will have no
00:05:23difficulty in meeting those needs.
00:05:26The Israeli military has continued its raids in southern Lebanon targeting
00:05:30civilian neighborhoods in another violation of the cease fire signed in
00:05:33June. The raid was accompanied by artillery shelling on the outskirts of the
00:05:37town of Zotar Shariah in the Nabatia district.
00:05:41Several bulldozers was. demolishing homes in the tire
00:05:44district, and there are reports of a blast in the
00:05:47bordertown of Masal
00:05:49Jabal.
00:05:51Meanwhile, four people have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza.
00:05:57the health director general was killed by a drone attack in Jabalya,
00:06:00while another person died in a drone strike in Gaza City, and
00:06:04sniper fire at the Nuserat refugee campus killed a young
00:06:08girl.
00:06:11For many other. children in Gaza who have survived three years of Israel's
00:06:15war, going back to school is no longer an
00:06:18option. Abdul Wahaab Hamed brings us their
00:06:20story.
00:06:2313 year old Muhammad Abu dreams of the
00:06:26days when he used to go to school. I
00:06:30should be in ninth grade, but I can't go to school. If I do my
00:06:34family stavs, my father has severe back injury and we have
00:06:37no income. I have to support
00:06:39everyone.
00:06:42About. 700 thousand children have missed formal in
00:06:45person schooling for almost the years and nearly
00:06:4998% of a school buildings have been destroyed by
00:06:52Israel. this is where muhammad's family is sheltering inside a
00:06:56school as Gaza enters a new school year, the
00:06:59building is still being used as a shelter. for the children who can
00:07:03reach them, classes will resume at temporary learning points across
00:07:07Gaza. his mother says there six children in the
00:07:11family, the... is other income,
00:07:15when muhammad wakes up, he wants to go to school like other children,
00:07:19instead he goes out to collect plastic and cardboard to
00:07:22build fire. i prepared the tea for him to
00:07:25sell. i should be carrying a school
00:07:29bag, but instead i carry tea thermoces to sell on the
00:07:32street. for children who cannot reach learning
00:07:36spaces. lessons can be followed online, but the family
00:07:40says it has no phone for classes and
00:07:46He tells me, mom, I see other kids learning, but how can
00:07:50I leave you? No one else can support the family.
00:07:53I told him we couldn't afford it, so he said, it's okay, mom,
00:07:57I won't study anymore, I will just work and bring money
00:08:00home, around 35000
00:08:04students, I expected to return via
00:08:07700, newly set up physical learning points and temporary
00:08:10tent schools, but for. a school will have to wait for
00:08:14now earning enough to keep his family alive comes
00:08:26critical role in protecting regional
00:08:29security. erdan also praised the country's parliament for
00:08:32unanimously passing anti-terror laws calling the decision
00:08:36history. The last 6
00:08:39months.
00:09:42has now been done that he says will give the US permanent
00:09:46security control over it. NATO says it will help
00:09:49advance security and stability in the vital region. Denmark says it
00:09:53guarantees sovereignty and greenlanders right to
00:10:03Trump during his first turn by
00:10:06Greenland. This is something that's been discussed for many
00:10:09years. Harry Truman had the idea of. For
00:10:13Denmark, the idea was simply absurd,
00:10:16but once back in the white house, Trump made
00:10:19Greenland, one of his main goals. We need
00:10:23Greenland for. national security and even
00:10:26international security and it has a population of less than
00:10:3060,000, but is rich and rare minerals
00:10:33and strategically important.
00:10:36Russia has been expanding its presence in the
00:10:39arctic, and as arctic ice melts, new
00:10:43global shipping roots are opening up.
00:10:47Trump's repeated push for Greenland, angered
00:10:50European allies, tensions rose
00:10:53further when... Vice President GD Vans
00:10:56visited the semi-autonomous Danish Island and
00:11:00criticized Copenhagen. You have
00:11:03not done a good job by the people of Greenland. You have
00:11:06underinvested in the people of Greenland and you have underinvested in the
00:11:10security architecture of this incredible, beautiful land mass
00:11:14filled with incredible people. EU countries
00:11:17responded by sending more troops and their operation
00:11:21Arctic endurance. Trump retaliated by.
00:11:25threatening tariffs, eventually he got the deal
00:11:29he wanted. in a lengthy true social post, trump
00:11:32announced with great fan fair that the agreement would
00:11:36give the US what he called permanent control over
00:11:40greenland security and address all US
00:11:43concerns. the US has
00:11:47long kept more than a handed personnel at pitofig
00:11:51space base in northwestern Greenland, the island.
00:11:55has been central to NATO's northern defenses and
00:11:58hosts radar systems, Washington
00:12:01deems vital to its missile warning network,
00:12:05tramp stated goal a golden dome
00:12:08shield against Russia and China, but for
00:12:11allies that plan is far from
00:12:14reassuring, he sparked outrage earlier
00:12:18this month by posting map that showed Canada
00:12:23the US. his critics may dismiss
00:12:26his ambitions, but however improbable his ideas
00:12:30appear, Donald Trump has managed to get
00:12:34what he wants, one way or
00:12:37another,
00:12:42but foreign relations, he says the new agreement looks more like an
00:12:45expansion of arrangements that were already in place, suggesting
00:12:49trump has backed away from his earlier
00:12:51demands, trump wanted
00:12:55of Greenland, he said, "I need to own it," and he threatened the
00:12:59Europeans with tariffs, and then he threatened potential
00:13:03use of military force, and it led to, perhaps one
00:13:06could call it a low point in the transatlantic
00:13:10alliance since it came into being after after World
00:13:14War II, with Europeans deploying troops to
00:13:17Greenland and drawing a red line. What we're seeing
00:13:20here is essentially Trump backing
00:13:22down.
00:13:25the deal are, it hasn't been signed yet, it should be
00:13:29signed this week at the UN general assembly in New
00:13:32York, but it looks very much like Trump
00:13:36has taken what already existed, a 1951
00:13:39defense agreement that gives the United States the right to deploy
00:13:43troops, to open bases, to put radar there, there's nothing new
00:13:47there, the only thing that seems to be potentially new
00:13:51is an agreement that Russia and China can't
00:13:54open. bases there that the United States would have the
00:13:58right of first refusal to review other
00:14:01countries coming into invest and buy assets
00:14:04in Greenland. This really was, I think a breaking point in the
00:14:08U.S. European relationship. If Trump had
00:14:11pushed this Greenland issue and said,
00:14:15"I need it, I want to own it, no matter what, it really
00:14:19could have been an irrepairable breach
00:14:22in NATO, and so I think NATO members..." are breathing a siy of
00:14:26relief that deal seems to have been
00:14:29struck, yes, there will be concrete improvements
00:14:32in the security situation in the north, there will be more US
00:14:36bases, more US radar, more US ship, it will be
00:14:39harder for adversarial forces, Russia and
00:14:43China in particular, to make inroads into the
00:14:46Arctic area, but mainly what we're seeing here
00:14:50is the Trump administration deciding not to
00:14:54push the... ownership reasonable
00:14:58deal. the white house correspondence association has
00:15:02demanded the restoration of access for banned colleagues
00:15:05calling their removal unconstitutional.
00:15:08reporters for CNN, ms now and politico had their
00:15:12passes confiscated when they showed up for their assignments.
00:15:16Trump accused them of reporting what he called fake news and suggested
00:15:20more news outlets could face similar restrictions.
00:15:23CNN has called his
00:15:37he's banned the entire press previously from the
00:15:41pentagon except one news organization if they wouldn't follow his
00:15:44rules, he's he's had 61 lawsuits
00:15:47and defamation cases since his first presidency
00:15:51against the press, 25 lawsuits in the last year and a
00:15:54half since he's been president the second time, he constantly
00:15:58attacks the press as fake news, as corrupt
00:16:01uh as um you know his sal
00:16:05reporters for their gender,
00:16:08the the attack on the press is unprecedent in US history, that said, there's
00:16:11always been a struggle with the press in US history
00:16:15since the first presidents, at the beginning of the US republic we
00:16:19had lot of yellow journalism,
00:16:22where they wouldn't fact check their own articles and lot of opinion
00:16:26rather than fact, and the whole development of the first
00:16:29amendment in US history has created the situation now
00:16:33where Trump regularly loses in the courts because there have been so
00:16:36many loss suits by the press against US presidents and
00:16:40previous administrations that not only judges but
00:16:44the very pro Trump Supreme Court are usually
00:16:47unwilling to side with him on these first amendment questions because they're so
00:16:50fundamental to American democracy. He's no right under
00:16:54current US law to do what he did, of course he does many of
00:16:58his presidential actions domestically and internationally, including
00:17:01lot of the things we cover on tier two world, not with
00:17:04congressional or legal approval but by
00:17:07executive um action and uh these things
00:17:11regularly get challenged in the court, um, I'm sure you followed the tariff issue or most
00:17:15of this tariffs were struck down in the courts, his attacks on the media are struck down in the
00:17:18courts, his attacks on elections are struck down in the
00:17:21courts, he lost all 61 lawsuits about the last
00:17:24election, which he still claims he he won, the the one that he lost to biden in
00:17:282020, and yet on key
00:17:32cases, the Supreme Court will, if they
00:17:35can, if they can sort of do it without destroying the reputation will side with
00:17:39Trump. US military says it has killed
00:17:43four people in a strike a vessel in the Caribbean. US southern
00:17:47command says intelligence showed the vessel was involved in drug
00:17:50trafficking. The strike is the latest in a campaign launched last
00:17:54year against groups the Trump administration describes as
00:17:57narco-terrorists. Human rights groups have criticized the
00:18:00operations as extrajudicial
00:18:03killings.
00:18:05Russia says it has foiled. attacks targeting its online
00:18:09voting system on the second day of its parliamentary election.
00:18:13According to officials, the attacks happened overnight. The central
00:18:16election commission says specialists worked
00:18:19non-stop to fend off the threats. It added that
00:18:22Moscow's remote voting system remained operational during the second
00:18:26day of voting. The election is the first since Russia launched
00:18:29its war in Ukraine in
00:18:312022.
00:18:34All attacks have been successfully.
00:18:38are being repelled and I am certain will continue to
00:18:42be repelled. technical specialists and voting organizers
00:18:45have the situation fully under control and the system
00:18:49security ensures the continuity of voting, data
00:18:55the citizen's expression of will, and I want
00:18:57emphasize that of course the attackers will not
00:19:01succeed. two German regional elections this
00:19:05weekend are expected to bring further gains. for the far right in a
00:19:08vote that could test chancellor frederick mertz's grip on
00:19:19right as voters in the eastern German state of Mecklenburg
00:19:22Forperman head to the polls on Sunday. We need an
00:19:26alternative and that alternative is alternative for
00:19:30Germany. The right-wing alternative for Germany party is
00:19:34leading, but the center left social democrats. hot
00:19:37on their heels. I am pleased that all
00:19:41polls show that a large majority wants to continue my work as
00:19:45state premier. We are a strong and beautiful state and there's
00:19:48still many issues that I want us to tackle together, the economy,
00:19:52jobs, education. That is why I appeal to all
00:19:55citizens to vote SPD.
00:19:59The AFD's momentum comes off the back of securing a whopping.
00:20:0343.8% of the vote in neighboring Saxony.
00:20:07Anthold state elections earlier this month, that results
00:20:11saw a historic defeat for chancellor Friedrick
00:20:14Murz's conservative Christian Democratic
00:20:17Union. There is lot of frustration, we
00:20:21never had such a bad chancelor in Germany. I have to say it like
00:20:25that. The AFD has been gaining
00:20:28popularity for several years, often
00:20:31capitalizing issues surrounding migration. Policies
00:20:35include closing the border to asy. seekers and re
00:20:38migration, meaning sending people born outside of
00:20:42Germany back to their original countries and
00:20:45mass, but how does their attitude and approach land
00:20:49with voters?
00:21:20clear cut favorites. Still, the Macklenburg
00:21:23Forperman vote is not just about who wins, but
00:21:27more of measure of the country's overall political
00:21:30mood. The AFD's rise and the
00:21:33CDU's losses are being linked to Chancelor Mertz is declining
00:21:37popularity. He now faces increasing pressure
00:21:40from within his party to step a side, and
00:21:44so Sunday's elections may just
00:22:08Capital Yaone where thousands of women and
00:22:12men have taken to the street to demand justice and an
00:22:16end to violence against women. This protest.
00:22:20is unprecedented in the nation's capital, violence against
00:22:23women is not new in Cameroon, but activists
00:22:27say a resten increase in killings has been
00:22:29alarming with more than 60 women killed between
00:22:33January and August this year alone, many
00:22:37of those murder cases activists say are femicides,
00:22:41meaning victims were killed because of the
00:22:43agenda, only one with we have more than eight
00:22:47cases, it's enough for a country that... in peace,
00:22:51family are crying, children are offen because of
00:22:54emicide, because a man has decided
00:22:57to kill, to slaughter woman,
00:23:00human being like him, we are crying, enough is enough,
00:23:04the government must do something, it is urgent and right
00:23:07now, men should work hand in group with
00:23:11women to stop that violence, because it's
00:23:14gender approach, the women alone can do it, men alone can do it, so
00:23:17it's together that we do it in order to uh obtained a
00:23:21peaceful country, a peaceful home first, a peaceful family,
00:23:24a peaceful community, a peaceful society and a peaceful country.
00:23:28demonstrations like this have been growing across the
00:23:31country after what activists described as years
00:23:35of little action by authorities to prevent
00:23:38violence and abuse against women. the government says it
00:23:42is working a piece of legislation to make
00:23:45gender-based violence a crime. that bill is
00:23:49expected to tabled in parliament when it meets in
00:23:52November this year, organizers say protest
00:23:56will continue next Saturday in Duala, the
00:23:59country's commercial capital. Women's rights group
00:24:02say this time they will be making sure there
00:24:06is action, not just words, to end
00:24:09gender-based violence in the Central African
00:24:11nation.
00:24:14Nearly billion people across Africa still rely on wood and
00:24:17charcoal, exposing them to severe. health risks from household
00:24:21air pollution, but a Nairobi-based company is using
00:24:25carbon finance to make electric induction stoves
00:24:28affordable. experts warn however that relying soly on
00:24:31carbon credits could slow
00:24:40Cavutha now starts with the press of a
00:24:43button. for this Kenyan Mother of Two, the
00:24:47switch to electric induction cooking, has slashed
00:24:50her daily fuel costs. the stove also allows her to
00:24:54prepare hot meals safer and faster
00:24:58inside her home. without the hazards of toxic
00:25:01smoke that contributes to about
00:25:0485000 deaths every year on the
00:25:07continent. when i compare it with the charcoal it is
00:25:10cheaper because like in a day when i was using the charcoal
00:25:14find that i'm using around about 1 us with a charcoal per
00:25:18day and with this one when i buy a token of 80 us
00:25:21cents, it lasts me to the second day. to

00:26:01way that is going to scale on the continent
00:26:04is through carbon project finance, and
00:26:08so it's a great model, governments can earn revenue
00:26:11from it that's brought by carbon project finance. In

00:26:17million dollars in clean cooking financial
00:26:20commitments, according to the international energy

00:26:30volatile carbon markets.
00:26:32poses a massive risk for the continent, if we
00:26:36depend holy on carbon credits to support the
00:26:40transition, it will be extremely slow
00:26:44uh, and it will not happen at the pace that we need it. the other
00:26:47issue for carbon market is before you can

00:29:59resume negotiations with the United States as diplomate. dramatic
00:30:02efforts continued to bring the war to an end. Security chief
00:30:06Mohsin Rizai told Al-Jazeera that Tehran wants an end
00:30:10to the war on all fronts, the release of frozen funds and an end
00:30:14to the naval blockade.
00:30:17The Saudi Arabia backed coalition says it forted attack
00:30:21by Yemen-based Ansarullah Hufis who targeted several
00:30:25cities, including the capital Riyad, using missiles and
00:30:28drones. Civilians in several cities, including Bish.
00:30:33and farasan were also attacked. the hoti said
00:30:36the attacks were in retaliation against saudi air
00:30:40strikes.
00:30:43accordingly, the yemeny armed forces with the help of almighty
00:30:47god carried out two military operations, using a large
00:30:50number of ballistic and cruise missiles and drones. the first
00:30:56the saudi enemy, riad and the second
00:30:59targeted aramco in Yambo. the two
00:31:02operation with the help of Almighty God was successful and
00:31:05resulted in large fires breaking out at the targeted
00:31:08sites.
00:31:10The Israeli military has continued its raid in southern

00:31:21in the Tier district and they are reports of a blast attacks across
00:31:24Gaza. According to hospital sources, the son of the health

00:32:24Now it feels very hot, we can't
00:32:27survive any longer living in this increasingly hot
00:32:31area.
00:32:35The food at home is only enough for 2 days,
00:32:39what if it runs out
00:32:41later?
00:32:46These are the stories of people living on the front lines of climate
00:32:49change. The risks and threats of climate change are
00:32:53real. This is not just some kind of projection, this is happening right
00:32:56now.
00:32:59Communities across Asia are constantly fighting a daily
00:33:03battle. Intense heat waves are killing
00:33:07thousands.
00:33:09Prolonged droughts are destroying livelihoods. While
00:33:12people's homes sink into the sea.
00:34:50As dawn breaks, local fruit farmers in the Mikon delta are
00:34:54already gathering outside the government's water distribution
00:34:57center. Their most basic need is under ration due
00:35:01to prolonged drought lasting over three months.
00:35:15I came out in the morning to wait for the brothers and sisters to submit their tickets so
00:35:18I could quickly
00:35:21get it early. If there's
00:35:24a car, it will be full and it will be
00:35:28difficult for my small car to squeeze in.
00:35:51Every day, there are about 100 to 150
00:35:54households that get water here. This year, for Phu Hong,
00:35:58á là khốc liệt bản thân tôi là 40 năm rồi
00:36:02and have never seen such harsh salinity. In 2016, it was only around
00:36:052.2-2.3 grams, but now it is high
00:36:08at 7.8, nearly 8 grams per
00:36:12liter.
00:36:18Known as The Kingdom of Fruits, over 1.2 million people in
00:36:22Tienggang province rely on the fertile land for their main source
00:36:26of income.
00:36:28Every season, the farmers deal with saline contamination,
00:36:32natural process in the delta, where salty
00:36:35seawater mixes with freshwater
00:36:37rivers,
00:36:39but this year, rising sea levels and prolonged drought has caused the
00:36:43contamination to last for the months longer than normal, at
00:36:47intensity never seen before.
00:36:50310 square miles of fruit trees, area larger than
00:36:54Singapore, is under threat from water shortage.
00:37:00the amount of food in this area exported to the world
00:37:04is also very large. So, when rice production in the Mekong
00:37:07Delta is lacking or decreasing,
00:37:11it will affect the balance of food
00:37:14imports and exports in the Asian
00:37:17region.
00:37:46every morning basically here people wake up very early,
00:37:50our day start very very early like like by 6
00:37:536:30 and then we start
00:37:56to first... check the
00:37:58animal, these are
00:38:02small
00:38:05and we look at the health of the shirim to see that this shirims are they
00:38:09eating, how's the skin, how is the got,
00:38:13so we learn by
00:38:14experience.
00:38:1810 years ago, Dr. Fashad decided to leave his
00:38:21corporate job and turn his hand to indoor
00:38:24farming. Since then, he has built. up
00:38:27his independent company to become the first intensive urban farm in
00:38:31Singapore using water sustainably. so
00:38:35these are the tank that we have like baby shrim. this is one of them.
00:38:39we have almost about two million shrim
00:38:42larv and we have fish also. we have here
00:38:45baby grouper.
00:38:49singapore imports 90% of its fruits, vegetables and
00:38:53fish. the island nation is particularly vulnerable to
00:38:57change. in international food trade, as poor harvests
00:39:00can mean countries reduce exports to protect their domestic food
00:39:04supply.
00:39:06Dr. Vishard's ambition is that his shrimp will provide Singapore with
00:39:10secure food
00:39:11source.
00:39:14I personally believe that for nation like us very
00:39:17small with very limited
00:39:20resources in terms of land and food production
00:39:23and to be 100% depend on the outside.
00:39:28It's not very safe, that's why indoor farming,
00:39:31I believe is the future of the aquaculture, it's a simple
00:39:35reason because you can set up this
00:39:37everybody,
00:39:41the impact of the global warming on the indoor farming, it would not
00:39:45be too much, because you separating yourself from the whole
00:39:48ecosystem surrounding,
00:39:52but here too, water supply is major
00:39:55issue, the world. Resources Institute
00:39:59ranks Singapore as one of the most water stressed countries in the
00:40:02world, but Dr. Fasad has developed a
00:40:05natural system to prolong the life of his
00:40:07water. Yeah, I want to show you our
00:40:11water and you can
00:40:14see our water is a green and this is because we
00:40:18mimicking the nature, we try to create a
00:40:21environment that it's use all the
00:40:24elements that exist in the ocean by. doing this
00:40:28we lower our cost of water treatment
00:40:31because green water means you have alg, you have fight of
00:40:35lang, what a fight of langton does, they absorb all the
00:40:38ammonium,
00:40:41the green system will allow us to maintain and hold
00:40:45the water much much more longer than the average outdoor
00:40:48farm.
00:41:28quite heavy
00:41:30too,
00:41:32but well, my name isn't that long,
00:41:36but I don't know my age, I'm almost 65.
00:42:12I'm going to Wisma housing because there's a call for one person.
00:42:15I don't know if it's tough or not because the location there is a rocky
00:42:19area. Let's go. All tidy now.
00:42:40residents are connected to the official water
00:42:42system,
00:42:44millions of households and commercial businesses are forced to
00:42:48privately pump fresh water from aquafers deep beneath the
00:42:51city.
00:42:57currently the central jakarta are
00:43:00pretty much covered in terms of access to clean
00:43:03water. there's still a problem on the outskirt of
00:43:07Jakarta, there are residential areas. that
00:43:10do not have access to this clean water that provided
00:43:14by government, so for those areas they
00:43:17actually have no choices than to extract ground
00:43:20water,
00:43:27Well, for the Jakarta area, it's getting
00:43:30worse and worse due to pollution. There are so many
00:43:33residents, they have difficulty with water.
00:43:37Maybe if we go to PAM, we will incur double costs. We have to buy
00:43:40again. If we drill a borewell, we only make it once.
00:44:18As the morning sun heats up, No is completing her
00:44:21fifth journey back and forth from the water collection
00:44:24point.
00:44:33When the water is salty, I'll ask my brother to
00:44:37buy this pond for me sometimes.
00:44:41If I don't have enough water for two or three days, I'll pump it for two or three
00:44:45days.
00:45:05No's family have been fruit farmers for generations,
00:45:09traditionally growing.
00:45:23Our family has been growing trees for 3 years and we have
00:45:2768 trees. We decided to plant durian trees because people
00:45:31make a lot of money from them. Sister, what do you think?
00:45:34The small money is nothing, I want to save up a lot of money so
00:45:38that I can have money to build a house later.
00:45:43The best quality durians can sell for more than
00:45:46$75 each, but they are
00:45:49notoriously water intensive fruits.
00:45:52Young trees like Nos demand eight liters
00:45:55of water a day or they will die in a matter of
00:45:58weeks.
00:46:04About half of them died, leaving only about four rows, a few dozen
00:46:08trees. If this dry spell lasts for another month,
00:46:12my garden will probably only have 15 to
00:46:1520 trees left at most.
00:46:29Durian farmers across Tieneng province in South
00:46:32Vietnam face the same dilemma, whether to hold
00:46:35firm or cut their losses and switch to less water-intensive fruit.
00:46:42Just miles away in the same region, another
00:46:45Durium farmer is drawing on all her resources and decades of
00:46:49experience to survive this season's water scarcity.
00:46:58I have lived here for decades, I was born
00:47:02and raised
00:47:03here.
00:47:08From the day I was born until now, I am over sixty, and I have only
00:47:12just experienced such salty water. In previous years,
00:47:15the irrigation was still natural and abundant, there was nothing. Only this year
00:47:19is the salt water too high.
00:47:25Unlike other Durian farmers, chi doesn't rely
00:47:28on the government's supply of water. Her
00:47:31solution is to maintain a private pond, which she replenishes
00:47:35every year during the rainy season.
00:47:38Before, some people had it, some didn't. Now they see
00:47:42high economic value, so they're filling them up. But I keep
00:47:45mine for
00:47:46irrigation.
00:47:50Other places, people are complacent.
00:47:52They don't think about the weather forecast, so they're complacent.
00:47:56That's why their trees got damaged
00:47:58like that.
00:48:02I take care of my garden for another 10 years,
00:48:06I will also entrust my trees to my
00:48:09niece. I see that she knows how to garden and lives according
00:48:13to my way.
00:48:16the search for water has far larger
00:48:18implications.
00:48:31We just started working for 3
00:48:33hours, but we found a problem,
00:48:37the dirty water from below won't come up,
00:48:40so this is the last
00:48:43pipe, thank God, hopefully we have found
00:48:47a water source
00:48:49like water.
00:48:56the problem is the difference from the water earlier. Previously, the water source was
00:49:00here, maybe there was a lot even though the depth was shallow,
00:49:03water still came out. Now it's getting deeper and deeper, the surface
00:49:07water extraction is getting deeper, but
00:49:10the water quality is not necessarily good.
00:49:22very existence. Over extraction of
00:49:25groundwater, combined with globally rising sea levels,
00:49:29is causing the entire city to sink. By
00:49:322050, north Jakarta, area home
00:49:36to nearly 1.5 million people will be
00:49:39uninhabitable.
00:49:43So we have sea lever on one end and
00:49:47other end, so who is the bigger colporate? So if we look at the
00:49:50number, the northern side of... Karta is sinking about
00:49:5425 cm per year, whereas the sea
00:49:58level rise issues is about 10
00:50:00cm for three decades,
00:50:04so the difference is huge, yes we having impact of sea lever
00:50:07rises, but what's happening locally from the extraction of ground
00:50:11water really outweights the sea lever rice issue that we are
00:50:15facing right now,
00:50:18well i don't think people are fully to blame
00:50:22because is they need what they need
00:50:25to do uh, but we do need a better
00:50:28system to provide them with uh more
00:50:31accessible, clean water, more
00:50:34economical, so enabling conditions to
00:50:37move 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
00:51:00farm. No, no, no, this one, the number three one, if the
00:51:04joint is not good, use this one. He's
00:51:07preparing for a large delivery of shrimp larve, but he's worried that the
00:51:11lining in his new tank isn't secure, and his water is
00:51:15too precious to lose. I'm talking about
00:51:17this, so this one, I think the
00:51:21showing." this one the singingah i worry is
00:51:24not good so what you do you just use
00:51:28from this you can cut from this one and just
00:51:32put there and then do so at least we finish one good
00:51:35and my hdb coming very soon now
00:51:39only here only this one only here licking oters is
00:51:43okay
00:51:47anything leak you know what i do yeah we have to
00:51:51finish the latest egg Everything must be ready by this month because we have
00:51:55shrimp coming in, we have a shrim to fill up all this
00:51:59tank, otherwise we don't have space, we have almost 2
00:52:02million larv here, this is 60. at two million we can
00:52:06harvest about 40 tons of shimp, yes very
00:52:09stressful, it's a lot of money, it's
00:52:13difficult.
00:52:17there are currently 12 urban fish farms like this in Singapore,
00:52:21but that number is set to rise and they're under pressure to
00:52:24increase productivity as they race to meet an ambitious
00:52:28national food security target.
00:52:31Singapore has very big goal to achieve the...
00:52:3530% required nutrition to produce locally by the
00:52:382030, how realistic is that, how is
00:52:42achievable, i would just say a bit of a long stretch
00:52:46go, maybe we won't be able to achieve to the
00:52:4930%, but definitely we will achieve to much more better than
00:52:52what we have today, every drop of water here we
00:52:56can't, we can just throw the water, so we try
00:52:59to reuse the water, some of our water maybe we have it for
00:53:03almost a year. "if I tell this one to my friend, the farmer friend
00:53:07in other country, they will laugh, but it's
00:53:10true, we really, really never though the
00:53:13what, no, that leader bit also should not
00:53:15link, thank you,
00:53:33while no, races to get enough.
00:53:43I'm going to the durian market to ask about prices.
00:53:45Durian prices are probably around 45-50, which is normal,
00:53:49right? Every
00:53:52time it's
00:53:5380.
00:53:57Now I want to ask if you buy a lot of durians here?
00:54:00We buy an average of a ton a day,
00:54:04oh? Do you also buy from far away? In
00:54:07this area, there are not many durians now because
00:54:11of the salt water, the trees are dying.
00:54:15even if their durian trees survive water shortage
00:54:18often leads farmers with bland or unripe
00:54:20fruits if the quality isn't good enough
00:54:26the going rate
00:54:29If the stem is withered like this, it means
00:54:33we only buy goods in bulk. Yes,
00:54:37so we can't buy a whole bunch of goods.
00:54:40It has to be beautiful to be bought.
00:54:44According to me, in the future, every year will be harder
00:54:48because the weather is very unpredictable,
00:54:51so it was different in previous years. This
00:54:55year, I see it like this, and it might last
00:54:59longer, not just like
00:55:00this.
00:55:18After digging for more than seven hours, neming
00:55:21and have finally found what they were looking for.
00:55:35We'll try. If the water source has already reached, there is already
00:55:39a water source, but we're draining it because it's still
00:55:42dirty. We'll wait until it's
00:55:43clean.
00:55:48I'm quite happy with this job
00:55:51because I'm helping people,
00:55:54residents who need water. As they say,
00:55:58if their house doesn't have water, it's also troublesome.
00:56:01Meanwhile, I'm helping to provide
00:56:05solutions for their families.
00:56:26close, no is completing her
00:56:2915th,
00:56:34Now, it's over, the last one. So strong, so good to rest.
00:56:37Yes, it's good to rest. In the afternoon, we have water to water
00:56:41the trees. Now that I've finished this trip,
00:56:43I'll go home and worry about cooking and
00:56:47household chores for my children and husband, then eat
00:56:51and rest. At that time, I'll feel healthy.
00:56:54Okay, this is the last one,
00:56:56sister.
00:57:02The motivation that makes me strong is that
00:57:05everyone else is also tired like me. I also try to
00:57:09strive to carry and save my trees so they can live.
00:57:11That's
00:57:15it. Everyone carries. Every person carries. Like
00:57:18me, it's raining, but they still try to keep going.
00:57:20How far can they go?
00:57:29In the Mikon delta, the government's emergency water has provided
00:57:33some respite for the farmers.
00:57:35But across Asia, the daily struggle to survive and adapt in the
00:57:39midst of a global water crisis will only get
00:57:42worse.
00:57:46The future. Success of the region may rely more than ever
