a century now rains have stopped there but there are no fears of an outbreak of diseases rescue workers are still trying to rescue thousands of people stranded after days of heavy flooding more than one hundred ninety people have lost their lives in just over a week and more than seven hundred thousand are taking shelter in temporary relief camps and to thomas has more from carola. people in kerala describe the highlights of the war and noted centimeters in sheets but in debt relative to that. ankle deep only deep waist deep. some looking kilometers to the nearest dry roads to. my house and then it went up beyond my head. the ground floor was completely covered. the old are evacuated first carried for the books that came for them elsewhere the water is shallow enough for trucks to drive in and. out. and found most people want to stay at

home in houses with second floors they can pass families guard because morning i wake up they're having so much alike that in my heart boys are having walk those lysol for free. where people remain in their homes food water medicine and toiletries are being carried in the car just simply too strong to promote on a boat like that and hope it ok it will get swept away so they started going to holding on to this rope as they walk about about an hour and a half in that direction this is that and walking through fast blowing water with debris. hundreds of thousands of people have left their homes and now in camps statewide an unprecedented relief effort is underway india's military has fifty four helicopters over carola some drop supplies others amounting rescues the weather is improving there was much less rain across carola on sunday than at the

end of last week but what is already full and it's fast flowing dangerous and everywhere this is an ongoing emergency. and let's bring in andrew he is joining us from kids who are in carolina we saw you in that report it's andrew outdoors with people who are suffering from these floods but you also went to the make said shelter accounts that have been set up what's the situation like there. well it's pretty bad when you can see how many people of that i mean people have got the essential certainly they have walked by have food and they have some bikes it made sense but there are just so many people and at the moment the supplies are holding up but the local politicians here and. i'm not going to hold up hold out much longer i mean the numbers are just so staggering it forty corpses of a million people now living in these temporary camps of them like they were in that report most people are staying in their homes so if you go over on

a number of people who survived the flood who are affected profoundly by this disaster in the millions so it really is staggering you scale that carol is having to place in terms of this bump is also ok andrew thank you for that update from caroline itself let's now speak to part of interest saying he's joining us from new delhi via skype he's a spokesman for the indian red cross thanks for speaking to us again we spoke a few days ago just give us an update now where the red cross is concentrating its efforts. the red cross volunteers have now been. looting their first to you as you must have heard that oh so kind of let down in the downpour that's been there but i must add that the damned spindle and from it what was that seen in the what the bit that still there but the expectation now is that not many more people will be moved to relief camps including those who are reluctant and stranded

maybe easier to beach than that about seven hundred thousand people now in the county and state and the the end of the long term planning now for people to be in that can or will be in there already put a weekend now for the weeks to come and we don't really know how the event of it turned out and we are hearing that there is a real concern right now about the threat of outbreaks of diseases especially amongst those that you speak of that are in the relief camps or happen sir and i hear about that and what's being done to prevent show those are the concern definitely is that i mean if anybody who's worked in boston and they happen more frequently than ever now and he welcomes get all crowded and you know you know the situation that it there i think the right if you act now is rescued even maintaining certain they would have said that people in the camps are able to access them and we're making all that available relieve this abuse in which what's happening right from the only feeds of in that what this kind of ground has picked

up there is a concerted effort by many to do so you know and i think the scale of it is now becoming more and more of an apparent in the disaster that it has. created and but we're in sort of a. risk from right now. in the camps normally when you stay for long long if you do the bang i mean apart from your regular listeners he also pick up induced chances of infection that could develop because of the debris or what the where you were walking you get hurt by that that also says you go back to be borne diseases and so there are. provisions being made like them in every case that we provide also has been doing that then various ideas related think we all agree fairly classically and you know which is which is that is that and i'm sure authorities would be working on it red cross doesn't give medicines per se for a specific reason that's an expertise that we believe other organizations can do better but in terms of prevention hygiene it's. you know most people that blend in

we just are the things that are needed to keep yourself safe that are there i think for now the focus should be on strengthening the rescue that's on the way so that more and more people can be brought to you proving the conditions in the count that is there and we have raised a national or be able funding and a lot of support is coming into that that will allow us to build after the long you know that's very important to learn that falling short right now. i think you need to see the response that is coming intellect of you the magnitude of the disaster has been phenomenal so we do need more resources for sure but a lot of promising kind of commitments have come in and out of material and you know. technical support alpha's have come in so that there is a good trend there in terms of allowing us to look at that better but i think there's a lot more we didn't get a lot of. all right so we thank you very much for giving us the update from new

delhi thank you so much now qatar's government has pledged five million dollars in assistance for carolyn's flood victims the emir shift i mean been hundred thousand the an ounce the aid package saying that he acknowledged the special bond with india and the contribution the people of carola have made to qatar the state charity organization has also launched a campaign to raise funds so experts are saying that the amount of rain that has fallen is unexpectedly high this year for a look at just how much that is you can head to al jazeera dot com where you'll find this article and if you scroll all the way down you'll get to this graph right there now i am getting comments on our facebook a feed from karen office on saying it seems that disaster management teams were not well prepared and angela saying these floods are one of the effects of climate change as well as global warming so if you have any comments or questions on this

us on the ramp at the on the situation in colombia he's joining us live from the capital of bogota so have the measures that the colombian government put in place discouraged venezuelans trying to get into the country. well there it is very difficult to imagine that demanding passport through the mind groundswell stop them from fleeing their country they're leaving out of necessity and most likely they will continue to do so whatever these countries like and whether whatever measures the countries such as ek whether or peru might try to put in place but it's clear that the the challenges are very high for all the nice well as neighboring countries we've seen the number of these migrants going up steadily for the last two years and truly these new measures whether they will most likely

just create new problems on these at these border crossing we've seeing that already at the border crossing with ecuador there are two hundred three hundred venezuelans that are now sleeping there there this is a very it's a crossing very high in the andes freezing temperatures these people are desperate they arrived there after already what has been a very strenuous trip through colombia so what we're seeing is just that the crisis is becoming more and more difficult for all of these countries to deal with especially now for colombia effect whether that meant this these passports because most of these migrants don't have a passport it's very difficult for them to get one in venice well it's very difficult to find the paper to print these passports on and they're very expensive for many of these venezuelans and we talk to them in the past while reporting this

crisis for example on the border in the border town of. more than a year to save enough money to get one of these passports so this must be causing that a lot of tension between all the neighboring countries there on the center. definitely definitely now there has been this major incident on saturday in the border town of writing my in-breath deal where a group of locals attacked the migrant camps. after allegedly a shop owner there was robbed and then beaten up by migrants reportedly many of these migrants are through the back into venezuela while locals burned their belongings and so this has been a major incident but just one of many that we've been hearing of course many of

these countries are healing liquid to receive such a high number of migrants especially in such a short time span in colombia for example almost a million venezuelans arrived in the last two years these are countries that already have high level of poverty so it's very difficult for them to integrate these new people in this crisis seems that we don't see an end to it any time soon ok other sounds are giving us the update from bogota thank you let's now speak to paul dobson in venezuela itself is joining us via skype is a journalist venezuela analysis dot com thanks for speaking to us so maduro has announced a series of economic measures that he's going to take he said this i want the country to recover and i have the formula one of which he says he will hike the minimum wage by three thousand percent and he's also introducing a crypto currency how is this all going to help the economic situation in the

ordinary venezuelans. well the. the idea behind these measures taken by president or which come alongside a monetary conversion of the paper currency inverness wainer as well and a series of other issues tax reforms and a change in the way that a government when i set subsidy subsidies and the idea behind of these is to start reducing the subsidies in a generalized form on target subsidies to those who actually need them and also to try to address the problems of hyper hyper inflation in the country which is currently estimated at around thirty four thousand percent a year which is eaten away at wages public private sector wages quite considerably in the last six months to a year so these measures taken by the government look to firstly out to some extent the printing of money paper money and to promote the more digital form of

transactions and also to try to to reinstate the consumer power of venezuelans by linking the minimum wage to the price of petrol the price of oil which is kind of here on sixty dollars to a barrel and to people in venezuela feel like this is the right step to take by the governments. there's a huge amount of expectation at the moment both from the pro government and the anti government sectors for a long time the venezuelans have been calling on the government to make more drastic or far further reaching measures in the economic sphere finally we've seen some quite drastic measures taken by the government so at the moment that's a lot of hope that it would have some sort of positive effect on especially prices on hyperinflation but also on short that is on importing all currency controls which would be in which have been destroyed over the last week the lure of currency control which we fixed the venezuelan born of out of the u.s. dollar has been defeated so now that looks like you have any floating currency

introduced based on the petro cyber currency so there's a lot of expectation on the streets only time will tell how effective these policies are all right so we thank you for giving us the update from venezuela while the team at the big picture documents the full story behind the most pressing issues off our times and the latest episode is on the battle for venezuela examining how the exploitation of oil created modern venezuela and how the oil industry also helped create a divided society as well as an demick inequality you can head to al jazeera dot com click on shows in the big picture to watch this episodes. well pro and anti-government protesters in nicaragua took out rival rallies in the capital managua on saturday as the country continues to struggle with political violence that's killed hundreds of people supporters of president daniel ortega have called for peace and accuse the opposition activists of being part of

a camp of internally displaced syrians in the may itself what are syrians there telling you on the eve afraid. very i can tell that there is not so much a sentiment of it here because when you speak to people they say do we have any relatives that we can visit or do we have any family members and people are living here under very dire conditions this is also one of the reasons that they don't feel whether this is a feast or an ordinary day i have been speaking to women here i have been asking what they are expecting even the expectations have gone very low among the people here mainly among women because they are almost. there almost prisons inside their tents they don't have a social life they are just taking care of the children over the children are in a different condition because some of the were born here some of them. grew up here

maybe in seven or four years but none of them understand what this really is also you know one important thing about the evil the fees for the muslim calendar is that people sacrifice some animals. to share the meat with their neighbors family members and relatives and these people have no money they don't they don't have the chance to perform this religious duty and share with their beloved only other hand i asked them how often they can't eat meat they said they don't receive any meat here so even the nutrition is so bad and the camp is so overcrowded especially after the latest attacks and other areas many more people came here so the whole area there are many sub camps in this area the whole population is at least eight hundred fifty thousand people and it is just by the turkish border

right behind my camera you can see the turkish soldiers looking to get here observation but people do not feel what feast is even walking in the streets of this tent city you don't see any elements of a celebration or a special muslim holiday center possible clue thank you for that update from our here. the war and yemen has been going on for three and a half years and repeated bombings have damaged or destroyed water and sewage facilities and that's making people more vulnerable to diseases as mohamed el reports. aiden's congested streets pulls over all see which is of the where heaps of garbage dump piled up in most neighborhoods in the city's divil habbush area barefoot children trudged through human waste oblivious of the risks we face a slope that says this month. we are living very hard conditions diseases

are rife from cholera to diarrhea clean water is a rare commodity here above all electricity is out all the time the government has not done anything to repair the sewage system government officials refuse to move unless they're given bribes. entire neighborhoods have been flooded by sea would spill starts in some cases of contaminated water supply as another i've got it out i don't know about other diseases sewage garbage so what on earth is this this is shameful we cannot even walk around the neighborhood to reach and waste have flashed into our homes we are forced to scoop it out with our hands. yemen has long been the arab world's poorest country and all suffered from frequent conflicts. the current one started in two thousand and fourteen when all the fighters from the north allied with parts of the yemeni military stormed the capital forcing the internationally recognized government into exile. in march two thousand and

fifteen a coalition led by so did obeah on the united arab emirates launched a military campaign aimed at pushing back the old ways and restoring the government . many coalition airstrikes have not only killed and wounded civilians but also damage to water and sanitation facilities the world health organization is in the middle of a company to prevent a recurrence of. the destruction to yemen swore to send it to show facilities has already caused a cholera epidemic which has affected more than a million people is that they are. currently rates of contraction of cholera are still high according to the latest to sticks and infection rates across the twenty three provinces across the country is about ninety six percent in other words twenty two out of the twenty three provinces in yemen so we can say the country is plate with the epidemic which is alarming an acute shortage of food and the

resulting look solution is a waltz and in what is already the world's last humanitarian crisis the. any father of color in the middle of the model to show crisis could intensify the situation in yemen ramadan the world visitor. well coming up if you're watching us on facebook live we have a report for you from our online scene about a retired indian army officer now being forced to prove his citizenship and after the break european countries are assessing their infrastructure after the devastating bridge collapse in genoa italy last week. we got the usual blast of hot air across much of the middle east we have still got some showers a little further north between the black sea in the caspian sea the showers seem to

changer has been following those developments from the bona and cell phone a province. a consumer association report which was published just two days after the general of bridge collapse says that there are twenty two bridges on the italian network that need serious maintenance work because they're showing signs of structural damage now i'm under one of those bridges that was mentioned in that report now just to take a look up underneath this span and you can see what's happening there is a series of water leaks coming through corroding the metal and what they've done here is they've stayed pulled a piece of wood between two of the cracks to try and hold it together that seems extraordinary that doesn't seem to be the sort of maintenance we need on this motorway which is on the main drag between genoa and children so it does appear this bridge is only twenty years old it does appear that there is a serious problem with the quality of cement that's being used and it's not only

here in italy that there are problems but the french government have just published an audit they commissioned on the state of french bridges and motorways and they say that there are eight hundred forty bridges in france that are showing serious signs of still of structural deterioration and might indeed in the end collapse much like the whole genoa tragedy so this seems to be a problem that is throughout both italy and france and needs serious attention. the afghan government and the taliban have made overtures of peace a president has announced a three month ceasefire with the taliban but with conditions and the taliban have responded by promising to free hundreds of prisoners on the occasion of the islamic religious festival. well this comes as afghanistan celebrates the ninety ninth anniversary of its independence the celebrations marked the one nine hundred twenty

one defeat of british forces in the third british afghan war the u.k. had for decades been trying to annex of gonna stand to protect its indian empire more than fifty years later in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine the soviet union invaded afghanistan to try and bolster its communist governments following a decade of unsuccessfully trying to crush the mujahideen resistance moscow conceded defeat and the latest foreign incursion into afghanistan was led by the us off to the nine eleven attacks the us and its allies successfully ousted the taliban from their seat of power in kabul but more than a decade later the taliban continue to control and contests large parts of the afghan territory helena maliki r. is an afghan political analyst and historian she says afghanistan's position in the world has both been a curse and a blessing for its people. geopolitical position of have got to

stand has both served did well and has also brought a lot of calamities to its people people have been victims of her successive invasions and conquests throughout history and until very recently also but also these these foreign invasions and conquest class of being and the crossroads of the old trade routes the silk route being. one of the famous ones but also other trade routes between central and south asia between asia and europe all of that has also and rich afghanistan and many ways and the civilization that emerged from it is a mix of of the regional influences let's take a look at other news now in many turks might be feeling the effects of the recent

slide of turkey's currency but for one industry it's had a positive effect more foreign tourists are booking trips and they have more to spend so here they go explains. all turkey's currency has devalued by forty percent against the u.s. dollar it's proven to be a boon for the tourism industry this year alone compared to this time last year there's been an increase of twenty five percent in visitors coming here and the drop seems to be the cheaper prices. just. back from prague good. so this is cheap for us it's been pretty inexpensive i think one dollar is like sixty or so that's been going for us but yeah but it's not. the cost of coming to turkey today is cheaper than staying in a resort in brazil where i'm from so it's definitely worth it and we're loving it here and for those working in retail aimed at attracting as many foreigners as

possible it's been a welcome upturn because of. the turkish near us and the dollar is like when we compared to our currency like the stops are getting cheaper for them so they are like more able to get their staffs but of course this is the high season and the same problems which are plaguing turkey's economy now will likely still be there after this temporary boost the real challenge will be to provide a longer term solution to turkey's overheating economy. well we're getting reports of a magnitude seven point zero earthquake just over one hundred kilometers northeast of the indonesian island off longball just two weeks ago the island was struck by a magnitude six point nine quake it killed more than four hundred sixty people and caused widespread destruction israel announcing it's closing the key crossing into

austria currently holds the rotating presidency off the you. now iran's foreign minister has lashed out at the creation of an iran action group intended to coordinate the trump and ministrations policies one of the big issues has to do with the timing of that announcement and andrew is here to explain what that is thanks to remain well sixty five years ago today an american led military group toppled iran's first democratically elected government led by prime minister mohammad mosaddegh the man you see here now it's mark the anniversary iran's foreign minister zarif tweeted this photo of massada can also said that this action restored dictatorship in iran and subjugated iranians for the next twenty five years now in this american action group dreams of doing the same thing through pressure misinformation and demagoguery for minister finishes his tweet by saying never again so this is a key moment in history and it influences so much of what we see today masonic

stood up to the anglo iranian oil company which later became known as british petroleum or b.p. and what he did was nationalize the oil industry because iran was getting so little in terms of oil revenues now that might have earned him the cover of time magazine as man of the year the year before but this is what happened next. the years nine hundred fifty three. this is the democratically elected prime minister of iran dr mohammad mosaddegh who wanted to use iranian resources for the benefit of the iranian people which the british didn't approve of. travel abroad one push on decided to nationalize how rich oil fields developed by forty years of british and a pride and the british oil man left question they'd be back the brits tried convincing the us to overthrow mossad take several times that the us had good relations with the prime minister and wanted the two to reach an agreement but with time passing and no solution reached the us started to worry that the soviets would take advantage so operation ajax. the cia spread propaganda

through humbles and the press and bought allies and the military clergy and parliament paid off mobster protests in the streets and found a willing general to mobilize the army assad was removed in a coup and the pro western monarchy. was reinstated. and of course after that the u.s. backed the shah was toppled in the one nine hundred seventy nine revolution and hostility towards united states since then has been a cornerstone of iranian foreign policy and so the timing of this announcement has certainly been noticed as the administration just the other day announced the formation of what it's calling an iran action group it has the goal of driving administration policy in washington and overseas to change iran's behavior this is what the u.s. secretary of state had to say president represents a tutor a good bit of pressure deterrence and solidarity with the long suffering iranian people our hope is that one day soon we can reach

a new agreement with iran but we must see major changes in the regimes behavior both inside and outside of its borders the way people in the world are demanding that iran finally act like a normal nation. and the iranian speaker of parliament ali larijani had a response to that he said how dare you talk about the freedom of the iranian nation with your dark record of the august nineteenth coup and the appointment of a puppet totalitarian regime americans are imposing sanctions but they claim they are supporting freedom human rights and global and regional security well the u.s. state department says the timing of this announcement on the anniversary of that who is pure coincidence but commentators certainly have noticed like parsley here who says that it's at least a has a wicked sense of irony whether or not it was done on purpose one last comment from levi is here he says the main lesson of nine hundred fifty three is that even if the u.s. manages to change the iranian regime it can't necessarily manage what comes next so

let us know what you think about this anniversary and if there are certain parallels here that can and should be drawn if you're on facebook leave us a comment with your thoughts where you can tweet us using the hash tag it's a newsgroup andrew thank you well as andrew just mentioned some analysts trace the damage diplomatic ties between the u.s. and iran to that nine hundred fifty three u.s. led to against iran's first elected leader and in this piece right here a former iranian diplomat goes on to say that the toppled prime minister mohammad mossad of what haven't fact negotiated with donald trump today within the framework of the u.n. charter which calls for a peaceful means in resolving conflicts so it's an interesting piece that you can find on our website at al-jazeera dot com and you can also send in your comments it to us here at the news grid a reminder of how you can do so we are on twitter use the has tag a.j. news grid we're also on facebook at facebook dot com slash al-jazeera we are also on whatsapp or telegram the number is plus nine seven four five zero triple one one

they've really dominated the asian games since the one nine hundred eighty s. that went into the competition of what was to they won the gold there that is a form of martial arts china is obviously a team to watch very closely because of their dominance but also another team that's going to be interesting to watch closely over these next two weeks is japan they have said that their organization has said that they are focused on how their athletes perform here yes against china but other nations because they see this they see the asian games as the tune up for the olympics in tokyo in two years so those are two teams deathly to follow another one it's going to have a lot of focus and that is the joint korea team the unified korea team there are three sports where north korea and south korea will compete together one is female basketball we caught up with their team after a practice session here in jakarta earlier in the day now they're very secretive about that practice session the gymnasium even had curtains so you couldn't see inside while they were practicing those soon as they finished the field used by the chinese the male basketball those are the teams that are going to get

a lot of focus in the big matches on monday korea plays india and china plays mongolia. now as scott mentioned that china and japan have shared dominance of these games over the years but what's in it for the smaller countries well in twenty four teams the poor at the opposite end of the table who just won bronze medal we've got pressure are only with us from the katmandu posts peril first of all tell us that one of those aims are going into an asian games or. fragile fans of all teligent what are nepal's and aims going into an asian games. to be realistic. the. level doesn't have to be there are some who are runs whether because of her new novel you were so. goal in the seniors
