climate change is a real thing but this docie had a rather sensationalist tone to it. Go anywhere during a drought and i assure u you'll find it dry

Record volumes of water going over the Falls right now.

Why is the BBC posting a video that was recorded in 2019, before the November-April rain season????????????????????? FYI, the Victoria Fall water volumes for 2020 have just broken a 65 year-old record. The water is just too much and has flooded an area bigger than 3000 square kilometres, including the Hwange town itself. The British media must take a leaf from France, support you former colonies because you have cultural and language links. STOP THE NEGATIVITY

Well said Brian Jackson. Also no mention that elephants are migratory creatures who are now restricted in movement and hence impact on the land. This is man encroaching on the elephants territory and not the other way around.

So negative news should not be reported?

Surely the date on this documentary can't be true! I live in Zambia and went to the falls (Mosi-oa-Tunya) a few weeks before the coronavirus pandemic got serious and there was lots of water. Not sure what the media is trying to achieve here...

They is so much water going over the falls right now, it's can ruin tourism by saying it is dryed up 😡😡

That was 2019 now you won't make such a report about Vic Falls and besides why is thee so much negativity about Zim

And here we are five months down the line Vic falls has recored the highest ever waterflow in the past 65 years.

Why are they posting an old video ? Is this not misleading? Surely they could have made a current follow up video. What is the purpose of this documentary ? Is it to assist people in Zimbabwe or an opportunity to sensationalise and exxagerate the facts. Zimbabwe is still a beautiful country with challenges of its own. Only a person with no empathy can kick someone when they are down, blame it on cowardice, call it malice label it careless, but the core cause is the inability to feel for the other's suffering, I want to know why you are posting an old video clip as if its current ?

Jeph Jeph we have to use our eyes to know this is an old video. Even though the drought is not current, we do know China is responsible for the deforestation, illegal mining and poaching of ivory. That’s been true for a decade.

Go do your own research. Victoria Falls has enough water. Just avoid main stream media when researching......

Water levels are rising like never before

Guys you are telling and confirming exactly what he wants to hear. The downfall of Zimbabwe. Noone has ever mentioned why they still call theirs "white Christmas " when they last had snow on Christmas day some nearly 10 years ago.

I was in Vic Falls a few weeks ago before the COVID 19 lockdown and I must say, it was divine.....I wish o could share the photos and videos!

I was at Vic Falls in April 2023 and there was TONS of water. It was such an incredible and glorious site to see! Recently, August 2023, I was in Livingstone, Zambia and again there was beautiful water flowing everywhere. It was truly glorious!

It is not noise making if people are asking questions on behalf of the elephants who cannot speak for themselves. Corrupt governments and people hate being questioned.

I have my many beefs with my home country of Zimbabwe. I think there is an incompetent and corrupt government that exasperates the problems there. However, this was a terrible piece by the BBC.

Sad, however! This was last year in December, prior to the flash floods from February to March of 2020

The whole area then flooded in February to March 2020 and people died or lost property to the rains. It makes this video a joke to us Africans, who know the truth

The brits are truly have a bone to pick with Zimbabwe amana .Look at how these people are posting an old video and always talking bad about Zimbabwe .🤦🏽‍♂️ Let my country be !

This series of BBC hardtalk is meaningful to Zimbabwean because it had pointed out and introduce to the world the plight that being experienced deeply by Zimbabwean. It sounds and feedback the environmental problems for Zimbabwean to their government.

5:55 statistically the wet season and heavy rains begins in December, so on a dry year mid-November is not unlikely to be dry

brilliant answers from the national parks officer Moyo,from BBC HARDtalk,good work bro

'Doesn't Zimbabwe acknowledge that it too has to be part of the de-canonization story ?'. Mr Sackur, the failed Kyoto agreement is due to the US and Canada backing out of it. Then China said 'Well, why should we do it if they don't ?'. That's not me just dreaming it up. It's Jeffrey Sachs, former main counselor to 2 UN secretary generals that tells it. So please, leave Zimbabwe alone and go after the REAL culprits here. Quite a pity, I found your interviews on Hard Talk quite a breath of fresh air. I'm sorry, but this is not the quality that BBC is known for

Take very careful precautions with this interviewer, he’s forcing the interviewee to answer his questions. Don’t accept it he will record all of this

Answer is no. Hotter weather means more evaporation and more rainfall.

BBC you love painting a bad picture on Zimbabwe, mosi a tunya one should go to Zambia if Zimbabwe cannot see the water flowing.

What about all the gorillas in Western zoos where is the outcry to have them returned to Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, and Congo.

Actually climate scientists say the opposite will occur when rainy seasons last longer due to sea level rise and changed airstream patterns also the Sahara is getting greener even as we speak the areas that will suffer drought are those closer to the poles like th uk !

the next month after this was posted the falls recorded a record high capacity

Climate change but he did not mention G7 and carbon emissions that is what the problem

You misspelled “RHODESIA”

So so sad .....

He's right. There are too many elephants in that park. Nature will thin them out sadly.

Oops so he was making noise abt couple of elephants sold to a foreign country😢.Hwange obviously needs a sustainable elephant population ,if anything he shld ve applauded e park guys of doing a stellar job amid climate induced & poaching challenges!Lastly developing world shldnt b forced to hastily abandon fossils but shld do so at their own practical convenience!

Get that minister and that game ranger with Mehdi Hassan..!

face the truth people ..hardtalk it is steve others cant swallow the bone

Surely the title should say 'Could Victoria falls dry up because of natural climate change' As the earth has been warming for many, many thousands of years before we had factors 😉

You can see the erosions effects on the cliffs perfectly without water running. What an eerie sight.

BBC, why lie? Vic Falls is not in that state ah!

10:00 he is trying so hard to spin the park authority's story into a one where climate change increases conflict between different parties

It’s their country man ,the presenter goes far his scope , and putting blame on the citizens soo rude he is investigating non of his business I didn’t like it

It's in the process of loosing its 7th womderd of the world title

Communist colony Zambia has sold the water resources of the Upper Zambezi to China. Harvesting the Barotse Floodplain for water could have something to do with the 'drying up' of the Victoria Falls.

Shame

Thats all lies

Shame on you BBC

Dude talking about climate change. I wonder if he flew to Zimbabwe or sailed on a CO2 neutral yacht to Southern Africa. I wonder if this dude switches off his heating in winter and wears a warm sweater instead. I wonder if he cycles to work instead of driving. Funny how these holier than thou want everybody to stop burning fossil fuels so that they don't have to give up their 30minute hot showers, driving to the corner store because it is too much to simply walk or to wear a warm sweater and turn the heating off acting like they in Siberia, yet many dudes in Siberia are too poor to heat and wear warm fur instead but this reporter has the heating on 24/7..Tsk tsk

yeah - the Zimbabwe series was really the weakest show.

Absolutely shocking, inaccurate load of trash. This documentary cost many people lots of money with it's false information.

This is propaganda.

The good old BBC has previous when lying about climate change.

STOP BEING SO DAMN NEGATIVE ABOUT AFRICA, THE VICTORIA FALLS ARE NOT DRY AT ALL, THIS IS SICKENING TO SEE THE ONLY NEWS ABOUT AFRICA HAVE TO BE ABOUT DROUGHTS AND FAMINES 🤦‍♂️ WHY DON’T YOU TALK ABOUT THE LEGENDARY ROCK FORMATIONS OR THE RECORD VOLUMES OF WATER GOIN DOWN, THIS IS SO SICKENING

if elephants are killing people sell them. siomple. there is no debate there. human live v animal life
