Inside Europe: Saudi coalition uses German arms in Yemen

A UN conference has secured around two-and-a-half billion euros in pledges to aid millions facing starvation in war-torn Yemen. Germany, which promised 114 million euros, prides itself on its ban on arms sales to countries involved in armed conflict. But a DW investigation shows that German-built weapons and technology are being used in Yemen. Keith Walker speaks with DW reporter Nina Werkhäuser.

Inside Europe: climate activists reach Glasgow on foot 08.11.2021

Nov 5, 2014 - , , Kiribati - A boy walks from school to his house in Aberao village in South Tarawa. Kiribati is one of the countries most affected by sea level rise. During high tide many villages become inundated making large parts of the villages uninhabitable. A UNICEF report projects that some 600 million children - or 1 in 4 children worldwide - will be living in areas where water demand far outstrips supply by 2040. Climate change is one of the key drivers of water stress, which occurs when more than 80 per cent of the water available for agriculture, industry and domestic use is withdrawn annually. According to the report 'Thirsting for a Future', warmer temperatures, rising sea levels, increased floods, droughts and melting ice affect the quality and availability of water. Population growth, increased water consumption, and an even higher demand for water largely due to industrialization, are also draining water resources worldwide, forcing children to use unsafe water, which exposes them to potentially deadly diseases
