All you need is love plays my friends know me so well. They can tell what im thinking, just by looking in my eyes. But what they didnt know was that i had dry, itchy eyes.

Eyelove means having a chat with your eye doctor about your dry eyes because if youre using artificial tears often and still have symptoms, it could be chronic dry eye. Its all about eyelove, my friends. Award winning interface. Award winning design. Award winning engine. The volvo xc90. The most awarded luxury suv of the century. Consequences are many as youll see on abc news and the truth project. Heres abc anchor byron pitts. Somalia, a coastal nation home to approximately 11 million people. Its the kind of place we the outside world rarely see. Having fallen into despair since the civil war in 1991. Rampant attacks by terrorist groups like al shabab. This is a country in the grip of conflict. For Many Americans its the grim place where u. S. Service members were killed. Retold in the movie black hawk down. Scientists now say the country is facing a new threat, global warming, and its pushing somalis to the brink. Kenyabased journalist laura heaton and nicole sabeki embark on a journey to show how people here are being devastated by Climate Change and environmental destruction. They set out to follow in the steps of a man who had been ambushed and kidnapped in 2008. British silent dr. Murray watson. Have you heard of a guy named dr. Murray watson . He was here most hi in the 70s and early 80s. Reporter watson had taken these images of somalia in the 1980s, which show a country lush with life. His disappearance remains a mystery to this day. I think we found the spot where this photograph was taken. Reporter using his photos as a guide to track how the land has deteriorated, they trek across the country, meeting the people whose lives have been shattered by a changing environment. Momina fereh has spent weeks crossing this desolate landscape. Shes part of a community trying so far in vain to find fertile land. Translator we call it duga, or bury. It has buried everything. Reporter a severe drought set in two years ago is drying up food and water and killing the livestock, a lifeline for these communities. Translator i lost 100 goats, 10 cows and camels, and four donkeys. It has already killed the animals. We believe humans are next. With this weather pattern somalia or somalis will not survive. Maybe the land, a piece of desert called somalia will exist on the map of the world but somalis cannot survive. Thats a fact. Reporter 6. 2 million somalis are now in urgent need of humanitarian assistance according to the u. N. They say its the worst humanitarian crisis since world war ii. We need each other alive because this environment is not giving us anymore and the survival will depend on the strongest. Translator in my 45 years ive neve seen this kind of a drought thats killed our animals. Its the worst one. Reporter for years dao muhammad was able to support his family off a small farm and animals. But when the drought hit, his crops failed and now almost all of his livestock has died. Translator livestock brings wealth, and if you dont have livestock then you dont have a way to survive. Reporter hes working against the elements to try to hang on to what little he has left and fears how he will provide for his family. Translator if you have a family and you lose your livestock and there is drought, youll do anything to feed the children. Reporter if the drought continues at this rate, farmers like ali yusa stand to lose what little they have left. Translator i believe if it continues to be there, i think there will be no life. May god not make that happen. I think that in somalia or even in africa if that happens life will not continue because people depend on rain. Reporter ali is lucky to live next to a Community Well that he can use to irrigate his crops and feed his family for now. Alis family knows firsthand the kind of violence that can be sparked by the effects of an increasingly parched environment. Translator this bullet was shot from behind that tree where the person was hiding. Reporter he tells us that just two weeks earlier his cousin muhammad was murdered in a fight over land, shot twice by another man. Evidence of that shootout still visible. Translator if the rains continue to be less and less, well all lose what we have. Reporter some have taken to the sea for resources. But the food supply there is also dwindling. Its Early Morning at the basaso port in eastern somalia. Todays catch was a good one. Theres no telling if tomorrows will be. Illegal fishing is pilfering the food supply and destroying marine life. Some somali fishermen have taken matters into their own hands. Translator they are the ones who attacked us, taking with them our fishing tools, the lobsters and the sharks. Reporter abdi qatar hass not, a former pirate who took to the sea to fight back, he says after becoming angry that the Somali Government wasnt doing anything to protect his community from illegal fishing. Translator in the end our only choice was to collect amongst ourselves fuel, ak47s, and money to buy guns. Reporter some experts say the actual root cause of piracy is tied to the destruction of the environment, which is what drove men like abdi qatar to the seas in the first place. Translator we felt that we were sacrificing our lives for our country and for our people. Reporter today the government is more actively trying to combat illegal fishing. These maritime policemen are out in full force patrolling the waters. They come across a fishing boat they deem suspicious. So they board it looking for weapons. They find its all clear. The fishermen are allowed to continue on. Because so many here are starving, fleeing is often the only option. Many somalis took to refugee camps like one of the Worlds Largest in neighboring kenya. How are you doing . Good. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Welcome to dedaab. Reporter the refugee camp is a strange purgatory filled with people trying to create some semblance of their past. Its routines like this that bring a sense of normalcy to people like muhammad abukar. He lives here with his wife, habiba and their five children. He tells us he lived in an area of somalia controlled by the terrorist group al shabab, but he says he feared starving to death more than terrorism. Translator between insecurity and drought, the drought is worse. If a person has food and hes killed or arrested, its not bad. But its worse when someone dies of hunger. Reporter but even what little they have here is in peril. As the kenyan government threatens to close the camp, citing National Security concerns. Though returning the land to the abundance depicted in those photos from Murray Watson is remote at best, those living in somalia are trying to make the best of the cruel hand theyve been dealt and holding out hope for the next generation of somalis.

Do you feel like part of it was just an outward selfvalidation . Absolutely. Because i think its hard not to adopt whatever societys messages are. And i certainly think that one of the messages is youre not enough if youre not with someone else. Hi. Its carrie bradshaw. I wanted to let you know that im getting married to myself. Reporter the notion of getting hitched solo was made popular by the show sex and the city. Think about it. If you are single after graduation there isnt one occasion where people celebrate you.

A record low compared to the 72 of adults in 1960. Youre breaking the box entirely. Reporter sasha kagan has been following the selfmarriage trend for more than a decade. I think it helps to deepen that commitment to selflove, which just isnt an easy thing in our world where were constantly comparing ourselves on facebook. Reporter cagan knows firsthand.

Reporter and the wedding industry is taking notice. The i married me kit is essentially a starter kit for selfmarriages. We wanted this to be super accessible. Reporter Jeffrey Levine and bonnie powers are the masterminds behind the kit. They say they were inspired by their own nuptials. While they said their vows, they had their guests marry themselves. The idea was i think a lot of people dont know how would i even start, what would i do. Reporter in the last three years theyve sold more than 200 kits and counting as more women choose to embrace this new tradition. Getting married here is yeah, its everything that i could have wanted. Reporter petra hansen also chose to put a ring on it. I kept getting the question, like how come youre not married . Why arent you married . And whats wrong with you for not being married . And i was getting a little tired of answering that question. Reporter so she took a stand. A womans chance to be wanted and bothworthy in our culture i actually measured in dog years.

Reporter turns out telling loved ones about her plan is slightly more difficult. Im getting engaged to myself. Whoa. Im getting married. I have more questions. Okay.

Reporter on this Holiday Weekend beefedup security at parks, parades, and sporting events in the wake of the horrific act of terrorism at the Ariana Grande concert in manchester just a week ago. With isis claiming responsibility for the attack, it brings into stark relief this question. Could the rise of this terror group have been prevented . In his new book warnings, former National Security official and abc news consultant Richard Clarke says yes. Two years before it was an organized group an American Foreign Service Officer named robert ford who was very expert in syria and iraq looked at the situation there and said if we dont intervene now and create a proamerican counterweight to the Assad Government in syria there will be a new terrorist group pop up to fill that vacuum. Robert ford was not believed. And liftoff.
