passed and moves that means little to those navigating its wrath. brian al-jazeera . we saw michael pan the president a. news agency just a moment ago he joins me live now from tokyo thanks so much for being with us so what what's the latest information that you have the right now about just how severe. the situation is in this region yes well the very latest on the casualty counts is that sixty one people have been confirmed dead and forty five people remain missing so you know there's now the potential that the number of their talents could actually rise above one hundred which is a pretty stunningly high amount for a rain storm which is essentially what this is but it's a rain storm which was so intense that it hadn't been recorded at this level of
11:13 am
intensity in japanese history before and it washed away mountain sides and rivers turned into a torrent so it's it's quite a cataclysmic situation and how. how ready are people there to deal with something like this how well equipped people there because this is a region that has suffered these floods in the past isn't it. yes this. flooding is not an unknown thing in japan there are major floods every couple of years and this is the season but this particular degree of intensity is something that hasn't been seen before and you know the japanese emergency services to their credit to are probably some of the best in the world they're you know they're very well organized they are sending out people all over the place construction crews are rebuilding bridges and rebuilding roads at lightning pace so you're like many of these japanese disasters probably within
11:14 am
a week most of the public infrastructure will be rebuilt but for the elderly people who live in the countryside and private homes that are destroyed those things some of them will take years and some of them never will be rebuilt particularly because of that the populous the population of the of the countryside in any case and whenever whenever you hear of disasters like this and we're getting a scale of the damage here and in the pictures that we just seeing out there the whole debate about climate change always comes up and whether whether any of this is connected with climate change the frequency of aids and the enormity of it is is that. is there a connection there in this case. well you know i think scientists are very hesitant to ever you know connect one particular climate events two. to climate change and global warming but the trend is very clear with warmer seas and
11:15 am
a warmer atmosphere that puts more moisture in the air and this kind of more intense rain storms and flooding is one of the main predictions of climate change and global warming so you know i think that there is an escalation of this kind of events and personally i think it's pretty clear evidence that yes we are suffering such effects good to speak with you michael pan in tokyo thanks so much for being with us thank you well still ahead on the edges it we mean for generations of one range of family who say they faced injustice for decades. a party atmosphere in zimbabwe as the president gets back on the campaign trail off to surviving it going eight attacked at a rally plus. i'm the richardson of the world cup in russia when the harsh nations world cup adventure has come to an end against croatia.
