you see behind me is the nile river which a sudanese government officials say is unprecedented in terms of the level of waters it is carrying right now at 17.621 meters meteorologists say it's the highest that have been recorded in nearly a century and that has resulted in massive flooding in various parts of the country now one of those areas is right here in this island of tutti which lies between the blue nile and the white nile the flooding from the nile waters has resulted in massive destructions of properties many people have been forced to leave their homes to look for refuge and shelter and for drier lands. most of the destruction isn't just because the river flooded we have an annual phenomenon where the water in the river increases during the rainy season the river manages to break the makeshift dams that we build this is will cause the most destruction but this year is the worst we've ever seen. now countrywide at least one 100000 properties have been destroyed and at least 100 people have been killed

as a result of the floodings meteorologist say that the reasons behind the high level of the rivers are due to 2 facts as they say one of them is climate change heavy rain falls and if you can highlands has resulted in more water flowing downstream towards sudan which has resulted in more flooding along the banks of the blue nile which contributes to 80 percent of the nile waters the other factor they say is the number of dams that have been built along the nile over the past few decades they say that has led him to more want to being trapped in the clouds and into more rainfall as a result so sudan's government has declared a state of emergency after the loss of lives and the destruction of properties there calling on the musicians to intervene but they're also saying that the water levels will continue to rise over the next few days and are urging people to stay away from the banks of the nile and try to build as much sand barriers like they've been doing over the past few days to cope with the rise of the nile levels they also said that if people do not listen to the cautious and to alert that are being issued by the government there will be more destructions and more loss of life

be a an interesting weekend hopefully not characterized by any violence but we're looking at 2 situations one of course is portland oregon where there has been violence with 2 pro tromp demonstrators killed during the last week and the person who is alleged by authorities to have killed them himself killed by police overnight but the protests are reaching as you mentioned their 100th consecutive night since the death of george floyd at the hands of police in minneapolis so this is likely to draw out a large number of people the other situation we're keeping an eye on is the one in louisville where protesters from the black lives matter movement who have been demanding justice in the case of brianna taylor who was shot by police during

a no one no knock warrant raid on her apartment in in march are now confronted with other protesters who say they back the police and take an opposite point of view so riot police have been trying to keep the 2 groups apart on this day in louisville where the kentucky derby the big horse race the biggest one in in the u.s. is being held no spectators but certainly a lot of media attention so people are gathered outside the racetrack people in the community african-americans in louisville had said that they view this annual kentucky derby celebration which usually brings out some you know high society people in fancy dress as something that they've always looked at from as

place in particular portland is a city that is very left wing largely in its politics and has a. long history of demonstrations it has been targeted for. demonstrations by right wing groups in the past which have led to clashes and i think as you mentioned the fact that president trump said in his federal agents who are doing things such as grabbing people off the street and hustling them into on market vans for a period of detention. really exacerbated the situation so that is probably one reason why people in portland are determined to continue their their nightly protests program thank you very much indeed. well as people across the united states enjoy the long labor day weekend health officials fear it will lead

to another coronavirus surge the fear is that gatherings and crowded bars could make the weekend a critical point in the fight against the virus the u.s. currently has 6200000 infections and more than 188000 coated related deaths but a new forecast projects moving 410000 deaths in the u.s. by the end of the year. well of more on the coronavirus pandemic and other stories this half hour including iraq warns its hospitals may lose control in the coming days to suffering its biggest single day rise in coronavirus cases. and el salvador's government invites journalists to see the tough conditions in its prisons after report has been doing deals with the notorious and s. 13 gang.
