Zimbabwe food crisis fuelled by Ukraine war and climate change – BBC News

Published

on



The UN says the Russia-Ukraine conflict has left many nations vulnerable to food insecurity.

Global food prices are at a near all-time high and more than a dozen countries are banning grain exports.

In Zimbabwe, maize production plummeted by 43% this year following long dry spells.

It’s one of the countries now seeking to import maize as well as find alternative sources for wheat and fertiliser previously sourced from Russia and Ukraine.

But can ancient knowledge offer a food security solution?

    Guess what BBC? This has been happening in Zimbabwe for decades! In what way does this relate to Russia and the Ukraine? Nonsense! Zimbabwe was once the biggest exporter of food in Africa before Mugabe took control.

    Are you kidding me??? Climate change and the war is causing this crisis?? No whats causing this is bad corrupt incompetent racist government. Before the Ukraine war Zimbabwe was one big crisis. So stupid of the media to pin all this on Climate change and the war.

    Hadn't you better concentrate on the food bank lines, crippling cost of living, soaring energy prices, PPE scandals, and crumbling NHS in the UK instead of looking to deflect bad news elsewhere.😉

    It is true in Zimbabwe people they do not even have food in the shops, its empty. There is no farm which is planted, all Zimbabweans are just in a overcrowded place, eat air only.

    The problem is the sanctions placed on Russia by the west, the ripple effect is having devastating effect on poorer nations suffering added pressures from internal problems caused by inefficient corrupt government's exploited by the west.

    Zim used to be the food basket of the continent. So, NO. The food crisis is not because of anything else. Its because of the heavy levels of corruption of Zim leaders.

    Food crisis? There's enough food worldwide to stop hunger for ever, all this Food Crisis is an invention to simply leave the poor nations to their own luck. Ukraine never fed the planet so why act like Ukraine is the solution when it never was.

    Natural rain or snow storms, already do molecular nuclear fusion. Turning regular water into helium and oxygen gases, with massive heat and lower power X rays.

    The year is 2022. New York City has become overpopulated with 40 million people and pollution has caused the temperature to be risen and all natural resources have been destroyed, leaving 40 million people starving. The Soylent Company has created a new food product, Soylent Green.

    They give you sanctions and the sanctions hurt the nation,Yes you are right we used to be the bread basket only because the white people where owning the land but when we took what belonged to us you sanctioned us and all these problems you report you want to show the world how you control the narrative.An African proverb once said Until the lion learns to write every story will glorify the hunter.

    Russia is a reliable supplier of food, which is 95% for African countries. Ukraine does not supply grain there. Due to the EU and UA sanctions on transportation, the volume of supplies from Russia may decrease. We hope Russia will cope with the obstacles !

Shops looted as German cost of living protests turn violent | BBC News

Published

on



Rioters looted shops in central Frankfurt late on Saturday as clashes erupted in German cities over the cost of living.

There were also incidents of violence in Berlin, Cologne and Hamburg, with police saying they used water cannon to disperse protesters targeting emergency workers with fireworks, stones and bottles.

Thousands joined largely peaceful demonstrations earlier in the day, organised by the campaign group Gen Z regelt, to protest against underfunding in schools, the high cost of living, public spending cuts and military service.

The unrest in Germany follows similar youth-led mass protests in France, where more than 320,000 people also demonstrated on Saturday.

How close is England to running out of water? | BBC News

Published

on



Parts of England are in severe drought, with some reservoirs falling to record lows after the hottest summer on record.

Water restrictions like hosepipe bans have been widely introduced in parts of the country.

The UK government said more than £100bn is being invested in water infrastructure, with nine new reservoirs in the pipeline.

But, as droughts are expected to become more frequent and intense, questions are being asked about the long-term resilience of our water supply.
