after the floods is not an option. than my house is about 3 kilometers away from the dial 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 kalac 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

with the drainage system and its weakness can be seen on the streets of the tomb after rainfall since the start of the rainy season 2 months ago some of the major highways have been cut off schools and health facilities have either been damaged or destroyed it's a site that repeats itself every year but meteorologists say this year's rains are unprecedented so dan's government says its focus is on helping those who've been displaced and preventing water borne diseases but more rains and floods are expected in the coming days and those displaced say the government needs to do more to help them. on the government to give us new plots so that this doesn't happen again really who live in the banks of the mine we don't have the ability to buy new plots it should be the government giving us a plot so that the problem is addressed by the root and normal houses collapse from rained off until he gets a new plot this house is all that the lot he has he says he'll do what he can to

an image can change the way we see the woo ask if we had not seen this we. we'll be talking about that can spark mass action or serve the interests of the powerful he created just for a photo opportunity that can obscure the truth this is a legitimate news story this is clips and points look pretty i don't see it consorts narrative in re right through the listener gives you the full picture. of the of. your comeback a recap of our top stories on al-jazeera senior palestinian figures say they've

been betrayed after the united arab emirates and bahrain signed us we're going to green install normalize ties with israel even protests against ideas in gaza and in the occupied west bank. the white house has approved oregon's disaster declaration making it possible for the state to access federal 'd funds several wildfires continue to burn out of control in the western u.s. state hundreds of homes have been 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 unprecedented rise of the nile river. japan's lower house of parliament has elected yoshida as prime minister so guy is a longtime ally of former prime minister shinzo abi who resigned hew to ill health a vote counting is now underway in the parliament's opera house so his appointment will need to be confirmed by the emperor let's bring in rob mcbride in seoul for us is following the story rob this seems like a formality now we're going to have

a new prime minister in japan what sort of direction do we expect him to take the country. that's right in fact just within the past few minutes we have now had confirmation from the diet of the japanese parliament that after votes in both the upper and lower house that we have confirmed as the new prime minister of course he becomes the prime minister designate after this special session he takes the very short trip across central tokyo to the imperial palace for an audience with them for a narrow hito where of course he then officially becomes the next prime minister and his term begins the name on the door changes is no longer shinzo are they but of course we're not expecting very much a change in government policy. is the right hand man has been for a number of years he is expected to carry forward his policies especially when it

comes to conservative conservative policies to try to stabilize revitalize the economy also dealing with the coded 19 pandemic but he is very much seen as a continuity prime minister almost an interim prime minister this is ministration has one more year to run shinzo are being as we know retired due to ill health and god's job now is basically to hold the shop until new elections can be held and we know that he's going to basically carry on the policies of the day because already advanced reporting and leaks from tokyo already tell us that once he does become officially prime minister his his cabinet will basically be that of shinzo are based so we affirmation that he's going to basically be following on the same policy continuity prime minister but compared to his predecessor so rob comes from a different background. there is

a difference in style here japanese politics tends to be dominated by political family dinner cities and our base certainly is from one of those super often referred to with far more humble roots he says himself he comes from an agricultural background his father is a strawberry farmer who has now managed to attain the highest political office in the land he makes much of that he is seen as being a safe pair of hands as being a good crisis manager and obviously japan has certainly enough crises for him to be managing right now so he is seen as being a good choice right now but there is some question just about his sort of lack of dynamism he doesn't seem as charismatic as preterist sesar in fact he is well known in this part of the world as being the face of the japanese government by holding as chief cabinet secretary these twice daily government briefings basically stating what the position of japan is he's done that for nearly 8 years now but they they

are notoriously sullen affairs he has done a very current charismatic person he often gives very scripted in fact one of his nicknames in japan is to peche which means the iron war which is not particularly flattering so there is some question about how he will do on the international stage in dealing with the neighbors and we know that japan has troubles with south korea and north korea and also china and also of course the united states because are they had a very special relationship with president donald trump so there are questions just about how sukar is going to advance japan's agenda on the world stage thank you for that right brian live for a sense our. india has officially 5000000 cases of the coronavirus is the 2nd highest in the world behind the united states more than 90000 new cases were recorded on wednesday the actual number of infections is sought to be much higher because of low levels of testing more than 82000 people
