after the floods is not an option. than my house is about 3 kilometers away from the nile and i've lived here for a number of years. getting a plot to move elsewhere is costly with today's economy and me and my family can't afford it so all drain the water and hope this doesn't happen again next year. abdellatif home is one of dozens that have been damaged in his village of in the southern part of sudan's capital hard to. torrential rains caused the nile to rise to levels not seen in more than a century the resulting flood damage to well over 100000 homes around sudan most were just kilometers away as the river burst its banks wiping out villages and towns and displacing more than 600000 people and it forced the government to declare a 3 month state of emergency some chose to stay in their homes despite them being filled with water the man waters have begun receding after nearly 3 weeks and people in the area are hoping to start the recovery but there have been problems

a senior palestinian figures say they've been betrayed after the united arab emirates and bahrain signed u.s. brokered agreements to normalize ties with israel have been protests against the deals in gaza and the occupied west bank the white house has approved oregon's disaster declaration making it possible for the se to access federal funds several wives why is continue to burn out of control in the western united states hundreds of homes are being destroyed and the number of people affected by floods in sudan has risen to more than 650000 tens of thousands of homes have been damaged by the president and cries of the knive river. now japan is about to get a new prime minister a parliamentary vote is currently taking place to confirm yoshida saga he's a long time ally of former prime minister shinzo abi who resigned due to ill house has been chosen to lead the ruling liberal democratic party and is expected to win the vote in parliament given the ruling party's strong majority there let's bring

in rob mcbride in seoul for us so rob this is all happening now we are expecting a change in prime minister can we expect much of a change show in the direction of japan's government policies. that's right this session has just begun fact we understand the voting is now underway in the diet the japanese parliament we are of course going to get a change in the name on the door but not that much of a change in policy suger is very much known as the continuity prime minister almost an interim this current administration had one year more year to run shinzo are they as we know retired are these citing ill health but sudar job as his right hand man is ready to carry forward to these conservative policies especially when it comes to economic policy and really to be a steady hand on the tiller before announcing new elections just as we are not

expecting too much of a change in government policy probably we also won't get too much of a change in the way japanese politics works especially behind the scenes the ruling a liberal democratic party has this system of factionalism basically a number of groups and caucuses within the l.d.p. compete with each other or collaborate to decide who's going to be prime minister what the makeup of the cabinet is going to be and so on interestingly he has said that he doesn't really go along with this system he's made a point of not aligning himself with any particular group or faction has said that it's bad for the party having said that he has been elected to president of the party by 5 out of the 7 main factions and one of his 1st actions after being elected was then to choose somebody from each of those 5 factions and make them a senior executive within the l.d.p. party so for somebody who says they don't condone the system they certainly seem to

be playing the factional system pretty well his next major task of course will be to choose his cabinet and we already know from various reporting of various leaks from japan that basically his cabinet will be pretty much that. is so very much carrying forward base policies so the status quo remains compared to his predecessor so that comes from a different background. it is interesting that the japanese politics tends to be dominated by these political dynasties our bay was from a one of those political dynasties and you have to go back number of decades before you find you know a prime minister of the people and again that's one of supers claims to fame that unlike his like are there many of his previous s's he comes from a very ordinary background an agricultural background in fact his father was a strawberry farmer so that he has his claim to fame having said that there is a lot of concern just about this every man kind of status that he has about being

a behind the scenes person he is known as being something of a grey apparatchik people here in this part of the world in japan and in northeast asia they very much know sukar because he has the chief cabinet secretary would give these twice daily briefings basically being the face of the japanese government and they were renowned for being really cheerless affairs he is not one for which he ripostes with reporters he tends to stick to scripted statements and so on so while he is seen as being very good behind the scenes operator very good at dealing with crisis of crisis management in japan has certainly of those right now there are certain questions about just how he lacks the certain amount of charisma how he will do on the international stage for example dealing with china dealing with south korea with whom they have very difficult relations and also of course with the united states one of those claims to fame one of his legacies is

that of all the world leaders are they was one of the very few who managed to maintain a steady fairly healthy relationship with the mercurial donald trump of the united states when he was one of the very 1st people to turn up at trump tower in 2016 after trump won the election and has maintain good relations with him ever since out on the golf course a lot of questions here just about. sugata could pull off a feat like that thank you for that rob ryan live for us there with the latest on the vote in the japanese part of n. to select a new prime minister and that vote is expected to confirm that we'll bring you the latest of course when it happens thank you rob and the u.n. secretary general will appoint a special envoy to broker peace between the warring sides in libya china and russia broke with the security council tradition of agreeing to the appointment with consensus instead abstaining from the vote libya has been spread between the u.n.

backed government and forces loyal to warlord jaime for have to are since war broke out in 2014 christianson only reports from the united nations. it's been more than 6 months since the u.n. special representative for libya stepped down and the council has yet to agree on a replacement but it got one step closer on tuesday deciding to extend the un peacekeeping mission known as for one year in the region and reconfiguring the leadership structure adding a special envoy to handle diplomacy and another position to run the day to day operations the united states insisted on that but the vote was an unanimous 13 more in favor 2 abstains russia and china saying the text did not stress the need to maintain libya's autonomy and their concerns about some of the wording around human rights the vote comes on the heels of libyan people taking to the streets in eastern libya to vent frustration over government corruption and

a lack of government services which is led to the resignation of the eastern based house of representatives aligned with the warlords khalifa haftar are an unconfirmed reports that the prime minister of the internationally recognized government of national accord is also planning to step down members of the council speaking as one say it's time for the rival governments to return to negotiations with the agreement today on a renewed structure for the u.n. mediation in the rainforest. in conditions. as soon as possible with the appointment of a special envoy. we encourage the secretary general to appoint a special envoy as soon as possible and i would miss within the security council to express their full support to the secretary general in this regard so what could the council agree upon to fill the special envoy position we have confirmed that

the u.n. special coordinator for middle east peace nicol i'm a lot of from bulgaria is being considered for the position but all it takes is one permanent member of the security council to put a stop to that. 6 people have been arrested over the fire that destroyed europe's largest refugee camp it's left 1000 refugees on the greek island of les paul's without shelter for nearly a week a new facility has been opened and while hundreds of people have moved in fountains are wary stephanie decker has a story on the move once again it's still a slow flow but some people are now willing the making their way into this new camp their lives packed into bags their futures still uncertain the authorities that circulated flyers on monday telling people that this new camp was their only option for their safety in needs could be provided for and most importantly only the people registered here will have their asylum papers restarted but the majority of

agreeing. you know to you know to find solutions the greek army continues to clear this land and erect tends to make way for the thousands of refugees that need to be shelter the challenge now to make people of their own accord the great minister of migration has already made it clear that if they don't come of their own will that the police will have to get involved the new camp is necessary because moria refugee camp europe's largest was bird to the ground a week ago on tuesday the news that those apparently responsible for setting the fires have been caught 6 young men from afghanistan according to the greek authorities for the few who have made it into the new camp the proximity to the water seems a welcome relief tens waiting to be filled with men women children young and old their long and tiring journey their hope for a better life still on hold stephanie decker al-jazeera island.
