They come from the city of tikrit and the north of their troubled homeland they say the situation there is unbearable so there is no work at all there anymore. It was very hot.

The family is relieved to be reunited. Im so happy i miss them so much. Its very emotional after such a long time we havent seen each other for four months miss them terribly. The north brazilian city of boa vista is a main contact point for the refugees every day hundreds arrive the city can barely cope with the influx the brazilian government has started resettling refugees in other cities across the country the new arrivals can be seen everywhere trying to sell something or looking for work that usually isnt there still the conditions here are nowhere near as bad as those in venezuela.

The opportunity is a new beginning for jenny hay susa and their children. That right now its all about getting a foothold here and getting the kids into school we just want stability a normal life. Fresh hope for the family here in brazil. The romeros cant say whether they will ever return to venezuela for now they see little chance the situation back home will improve.

In the pacific the nation of care about has a population of around one hundred fifty thousand but many of its islands a gradually sinking into the sea making the future uncertain the encroaching sea water is also salting up groundwater sources threatening staple crops many families are in a precarious situation.

Most of the trainees here want to one day work for the s. P. And s. Or South Pacific Marine Service its a german joint enterprise involving six Different Companies which all take candidates that have finished the training. The director of s b m s this captain andrew heinsohn he says all the young men here have grown up with the ocean which is something the shipping industry values but in his experience another factor often stands in the way of better paid positions at sea. Thats called a ball believe in statistic discipline as the main problem and also trying to explain time and clocks to the mariners in europe or in maritime navigation and we have totally different times and totally different temporal rhythms and we have to try to teach this to the trainees who want to be sailors and that by two going. After six months of training ruby hour or f. L. Levon will be qualified to work on the deck of a chuen a troll or eighteen months of study is required to work on the bridge but thats too long for f eleven even though hes only in his early twentys he will soon have to provide for three generations of his family.

This week in global ideas we had to southwest in uganda today in the congo river.

Headed to the small town of fort polk he met people determined to revive that. There wasnt always as much rubbish and then around the pongo river thats what locals say but the problem has become worse and worse the garbage now blocks the flow of the river and pollutes the water. To clean it up these days everyone pitches in with locals from fort portal and western uganda coming together once a month to collect garbage as head of a local Conservation Group edgar moo guns e successfully raised awareness of the problem. Just start with he had to contend with a lot of reluctance. To do the problem. We didnt. Even. Realize the management is still a problem in football of. Sort of. Because. We involve the communities.
