Traffic / Street Scene in Dhaka, Bangladesh (Part 2) - Road Junkie Snippets 48 [01:46]
Traffic in Old Dhaka can be off the charts at times. It´s impossible not to notice the plethora of transportation options & the diversity of vehicles that form the chaos on the streets. It´s an amazing and surreal experience to witness first hand. In late 2007 a rumbling occurred deep in the tropical waters of the Bay of Bengal. Within hours of Cyclone Sidr smashing into southwest Bangladesh, the world's media and aid organisations were on the move and Bangladesh was about to find herself wrenched back out of obscurity and once again presented to the global community as a classic 'basket case' (as Henry Kissinger once described the country) of disaster. The pictures and stories that emerged from Bangladesh at that time portrayed an entire nation on its knees, but this was only a half-truth for within hours of the storm hitting, the majority of the country was back on its feet and operational. This wasn't the first time that Bangladesh had been dismissed as a no-hope nation, and it probably won't be the last. But no matter what the opinion of the wider world is, this dynamic country proudly considers itself to be an active participant in an increasingly global community. In defiance of its stuttering development and the weight of historical tragedy that it bears, it is a nation charged with perseverance and promise, and one from which we could all learn a thing or two.

Wants to live & save the world [03:17]
Lawmakers from coastal constituencies formed "Bangladesh Climate Change Action Group" in a move to address the adverse impact of climate change. "People in the coastal areas are bearing the brunt of natural disasters that prompted us to form the forum in the face of the inevitable consequences of climate change," said ASM Firoz, whip of parliament and an elected member from Patuakhali. Firoz has been selected as convener of the forum. The group is expected to have around 50 members, all elected from the southern region. The forum was formed at a discussion on Climate Change: Adverse Effect on Bangladesh and Our Action held at the Parliament Members' Club in the city. Firoz said that they would appoint a spokesman for the forum to make their voices heard in local and international conferences on climate change. "We must develop awareness among the coastal people, so they would be prepared to address the challenges," he said. He urged experts and NGO representatives to work in collaboration with the government organisations and representatives to design the course of actions, which will minimise effects of the climate change on people. Speaking at the discussion meeting, Ruhul Amin Hawlader, secretary general of Jatiya Party, asked the government to take necessary steps to secure sufficient amount of money from international communities to meet the challenges. Due to climate change, fertility of soil and river fishes in coastal areas are reducing alarmingly day by day ...
