collapse with all the what's going on with the shortages, whether in human resources, whether in medications, whether in supplies, and on top of that now fuel electricity and more of a case is coming in. i'm believable that the hospitals are still able to it's not just hospitals bakeries to say if they don't receive diesel fuel in a few days, they will have to close the state electricity company has all but stopped providing power. already the sector was crumbling from years of neglect, but in recent weeks rationing has been severe. we rely on candles. there is no electricity and i can't afford to pay private generator owners. many no longer can afford basic food since the local currency crashed. prices have increased by 50 percent this month alone. the price is very controlled by many factors, including the exchange rates for the dollar. depending on the black market prices

for fuel and for diesel. you know, we have market, we have to have electricity, 247. the black market has taken advantage of states subsidies on basic goods including medicine, many of which has been missing for months. many blame this for the crisis board 11 . something. when we stop that, i think they would be out of market because one of the number one and even if they were the subsidies, but they would, it's sort of broad market. merchants have been blamed for hoarding supported goods or smuggling them to neighboring syria or other countries. mama lacy is element, we can't find any med since there is no electricity. food is so expensive. every aspect of life has been affected by the unprecedented economic and financial meltdown. water supply is likely to be affected by the collapse of the power grid.

the united nations says water pumping could gradually seize within 4 to 6 weeks. the country is falling apart, its blamed on decades of corruption and mismanagement by a political class still in power. the solution many say requires a government ready to fight just that that who their elders, eda, beirut, their affairs of food shortages in south africa in areas hit by days of losing and rising violence broke out of the jailing of former president jake, zoom, rural areas and the 2 most populous provinces have been particularly hard hit, with entire towns, interest ransacked, and in smith reports from puzzle in the towel, province. in the of the li comrey surveys what's left of his parade of shop in bulwark next door. we have got a group of doctors that at the spent quarter of a 1000000 setting up a nice practice. in the 48 hours every shop in this bustling town was stripped

than torched. a community of 35000 people now left with no commercial center. it was instant, we suspect there were 2 buses, boston with, with organizes at ral, that people. as soon as people heard that they were stuck for free, they just came in by the bucky loads. scaring and looting was sparked by the jailing, a form of president jacob's humor. it was given momentum by chronic poverty and inequality in south africa. made worse by the pandemic, were a couple of hours dr. outside durban. and it's only when you leave the city, get a real idea of the scale of the looting, because not a town or village seems to been left untouched. outside the furniture store, people cute for taxes to help them carry home the bulky beds and sofas they stolen . the 10th a store owner is here, a pass, watched from his home, across the street,

powerless to save his business, some of the vehicle, the right next to our house, loading the things. and we're not able to do any lives on the line here. we don't even feel safe. this is a here, like many business owners isn't insured. the local police overwhelmed, stood by and watched it took a week for the south african government to restore order. here in jacob zoom is hope, province of cause. and that's how it, how ting, in many people, by what they need day to day to get closer. you have to think about it, have to go to and a big if it goes up in the city a 5050 to complete the debts course with no shops and no post office to withdraw allowances and with distribution centers also hit by looting. people will likely go hungry, it will take weeks at best, for this town to be able to offer even basic services again. bernard smith,

al jazeera bulwark, conseula natal, respond threads from climate change and poor water quality. australia is great, barrier reef will not be classified as an endangered world heritage site. will trailers, government low beat against the proposed this thing? not doing it needed more time. the $21.00 nation world heritage committee ignored unesco scientific assessment, which said the reef is on the thrift. instead, unesco will now carry out and assessment mission and a strategy it will have to send a progress report by february. greenpeace has condemned destroyers government. this is a product of one of the most cynical lobbying if it's a recent years in which truth has been sacrificed for the political appearances of a struggle in government that he's doing nothing credible to tackle the number one cause of the process of very race which is climate change people of the world have

every right to be mystified by a striking and government that the spot 55000000 is of a strategy of being burned in the right 5 and 60 percent of the barriers being impacted by the 3 massive bleaching events. record droughts, a 1000000 dead fish strategies. great. murray, darling bison system that still the strategy in government is one of the world's worst lag on climate action. felina award is a coral reef scientist and a senior lecturer at the university of queens. and she says it's time to be a stranger and government to take climate change. seriously. there's absolutely no doubt that the great barrier is under the threat. and the daughter is there, it's from only a strained government organizations as well as all the universities, making it very clear, very few still beautiful and we can still save it,

but we are getting more frequent mess. bleaching events which will, which frequently result in large mortality on the rave. we have what a quality problem we're industrialized in the coastline of the great barrier reef, which adds to water quality problems. so is the threat as we've lost considerable sections of the great barrier reef. and if we don't take very dramatic action on climate change, we will get more and more bleaching events and the race will not have time to recover. the federal government has an calling record on climate change. not only do we have aspiration to 0 emission is not actual target, but we government also aggressively chases new fossil fuel developments, which i think in the current climate is absolutely unforgivable. so they are seeking new call, mine's new gas developments,

and even using funding for renewables to try and fuel so well, the strategy, yeah, is a fairly small country population. why so our missions huge is a global plan. if we consider the emissions of the big coal mine that have proposed and the gas developed and then we can become a much more important player globally. so our government really needs to step up and take con, change seriously. i of her years delay the tokyo 2020 some lympics are officially opened in a city reeling under a new wave of corona, virus infections and a state of emergency athletes for more than 200 nations will compete. but without spectators, japanese tennis stop or soccer, that the limpid coltrane and the rich that have more from tokyo. but at least we

well opening ceremonies like them, a load them have always been a part of the games ever since. they came back in 1896, a chance for the whole nation to showcase all of that culture national identity, but rarely as a whole. nation had such itself balancing act, so pull off like tokyo house and to try and get public opinions to turn and shift in favor of these olympics. ah, what the headlines on al jazeera, heavy monsoon rains have triggered floods and lance lives in western india, killing at least 100 people. the state of her astra, the worst has at least 30 people, is still missing. the didn't got a letter. i had 3 vehicles, all of them got some most in flood water. they are all damaged. the furniture inside my house and outside also got damage. i have suffered a loss of around $10000.00.
