i had 3 vehicles. all of them got some most in flood water. they are all damaged in the furniture inside my house and outside also got damage. i have suffered a loss of around $10000.00. financial loss like that will have a severe impact on the daily lives of people in the city of retina with so many homes destroyed. these women are being forced to eat whatever they can find. and sleep on which ever dry surface is left. be the flood waters rose to between 6 and 7 meters. that's the highest that ever risen. all the properties of the residents are destroyed. they have nothing left to eat or drink. the unprecedented levels come after 24 hours of uninterrupted rain, which is called the fish the river, just north to overflow. the state chief minister is promising to do whatever it takes to help people through the disaster. that's why those are the ones we will do . what do i take to save lives and property? will not, the disaster has had the entire state will not cool in the east to militia,

in the west lanes have been unprecedented. and we are facing an unexpected emergency filled up all with a combined rescue. operation is underway with the army coast guard and national disaster response force. taking part and in the navy has deployed helicopters to evacuate those stranded. it also has rescue boats and expert divers efforts to reach the thousands of people stranded are still being hampered by high water levels and landslides, blocking off major roads and cutting access to hundreds of villages, even for those whose properties have been spared. for now, there's another scare bodies double bond either. if the water is released from the dam today and the rainfall continues water, me and try our homes. red alerts have been issued with heavy rainfall expected to continue for a few more days, but saves further south are also facing dangers with rivers overflowing. seasons

monsoons provide more than 70 percent of the nation's annual rainfall, a lifeline for india's farmers who make up much of the country's economy. they also contribute to mass displacement with the impact on the growing worse by the effects of climate change. for residents of rationality, those effects are already being felt. first, move out era uses to be or is the emergency response coordinates of for unicef. in marcia state, he sent the priorities to provide people with basic needs, like food and accommodation. we have not been this kind of unprecedented continuous rain for last 24 hours and we see that the width and for us and also starting to monitor it's not only flood rate landslide and also coupled with the land. and the rain is also the high side. so at the

same time, these are the 6 we get is that also very high with a michael has on the board, the indiana and the response team walking together. i don't need the navy an army. one good part is that from to the morning, the rainfall has reduced and the water has got going to be due. at the, at the same time the, the road we are not being approached or not being able to open the road, but that's still something related to the land life. and we are not able to reach those areas. by the same time government i'd only been in your. busy have have many makes you pretty much the guide, we think the women children and the and the bind it population. so right now as the, as you said, that the immediate needs that we are trying to reach somebody, the are the right loads, need 4 lanterns, any guns, because they don't have any,

nothing. they are saying we went lower than everything. so and also the food they are looking for biscuit males. and also i'm going to, since i'm going to be company to kitchen. so that immediate immediate response to our is to address the needs of shares. now what i may just saw him is lashing northern taiwan typhoon in for maitland fall on saturday. bringing heavy rain and strong winds is cause widespread damage. bringing down houses and trees. typhoon is threatening to bring more flooding parts of china, including regions which shovel ready been deluged this week. the laces wrench in jack in the central province of her non heavy rain over night caused a river there to burst its banks rescue as trying to move people to safety. the government of afghanistan has imposed a curfew as of saturday in 31 out of 34 provinces. it's aimed at curbing the recent

increase in fighting the taliban makes rapid territorial gains. the group has warned. there'll be no peace until a new government's installed this week. the most senior us generals at the taliban now controls half of afghanistan's districts. our diplomatic editor james base, has more now from cobble back on officials increasingly concerned about the security situation. now there's a regular morning meeting of senior ministers in general's, normally presided over by the vice president. it was presided over today by president gunny himself. and following that meeting, we had an important announcement from the interior ministry that is now going to be a curfew in afghanistan, most of afghanistan from 10 p. m. at night until 4, i am going to be in 31 of the 34 provinces. there are 3 exceptions. one is the capital city cobble and the province around it. there's also an exception for the province of manga hall in the east of afghanistan,

and also an exception for pan schear, which is a province just north of cobbles. so those are big population centers. they are not subject to this, but the rest of us going to san $31.00 provinces out of $34.00. you will not be allowed if you are a civilian to go on the roads, leave your home after 10 am. you will then be allowed out at 4 am, which is the time of morning prayer. now the reason for this i think, is quite straightforward in all contested areas in afghanistan for a very long time. that has been a simple fact. and that has been mainly during the daylight hours. the government is in control, but it's always been the case in these areas where there's contest between the african government and the taliban. the taliban have only the night. the us government is giving up galveston, $100000000.00 in emergency assistance for refugees and displaced people. now it includes those affected by the recent increase in fighting as the taliban takes

more territory. us president joe biden has promised continued support for the afghan liter. ashcroft ghani, the dutch government, been accused of not doing enough to help relocate africa interpreters who worked for its forces there. thousands of africans who helped foreign forces and now at risk of attack by the taliban step, boston has worn out from the hague. this is the new base where making a new base the dutch government and making a new base c hoc work for that forces in afghanistan from 2007 to 2009. he arrived with his family and an adult and last april, after a lengthy and complicated procedure that took 2 years, still, fearing for his life. he does not want his identity to be re field. well, i feel for the other people that are still stuck over there during my time when i was working for this process to get out of a plan is done and come to holland. it was still a little bit easier for me because the war was not that worse on the families that

are stuck there are disconnected with each other so far. 94 interpreters who work for dutch forces have been brought to the netherlands, but many are still enough county stan, fearing for their lives now the taliban is closing. in. in total, $273.00 interpreters worked for the dutch as part of a natal mission. men to bring peace and democracy to afghanistan. we know these people have targets on their head. so what i want to government to do is to make sure to have a list of the people who worked for them as long as they have valid travel document . give the visa, get them on the plane, and make sure they're safe. but the minister of defense, as the discovery of faith documents, forces them to thoroughly check their identities. do not all of families were trying our utmost to speed up the process, but they will still be a check. and if this is not possible, we'll still need to make sure these people actually worked for us. on july for dutch troops left off gone, he's done. lawmakers blamed the government for failing to evacuate the interpreter

before that date. this, this belief among politicians here in the hague, that after years of pressure, the government has so far failed to fulfill its moral obligation to dos with their lives some dutch troops. it is estimated thousands of people enough god, the son who held during the war and now in extreme danger, a neat away out form a local star for british forces recently held the protest in couple, urging the u. k. government to evacuate. the sheriff worked as an interpreter for them, but because he was dismissed his application for resettlement was rejected. he says the same happened to dozens of others because the government to help us ignore the termination because that one would not see it. they would not look our definition. it will tell our researchers estimate that hundreds of former staff has already been killed by the taliban and tens of thousands are in danger. the nato, of course, always you know, came to of gone is done promising democracy,

promising equality and also promising human rights. quite a few of the people that have interviewed wonder where their human rights are. the dutch government recognizes that time is running out to bring everyone to safety. but the minister won't say when all interpreters who work for them and who want out will arrive here, steadfast and al jazeera, the hate. russia is in the greatest of a spike in corona, virus infections and deaths due to the highly contagious delta variant $799.00. people died from the virus and the latest daily count. and nearly 24000 new infections were reported. the moscow man says he hopes new infections there have piqued after having to revise the decision to ease restrictions. last week, valencia has reported its highest daily number of cobit 19 cases. in the start of the pandemic, the health ministry registered nearly 16000 new infections on saturday, parts of southeast asia receiving a corona, virus search fuel. by the highly contagious delta variant hudson's

hello, nice to see you. here's her weather update for asia pacific and we are tracking typhoon info as it looks to make it landfall south of shanghai on sunday team. we've been going over the amounts here. we think over a 100 millimeters of rain and wind gusts over a 100 kilometers per hour flooding and power outages will certainly be a big concern. you know, for areas of indo china, they're dealing with the remnants of what was typhoon and pack us. so vietnam, more than $100.00 millimeters of rain scooped it up. and as we look towards sunday, we're still seeing those heavy pulses of rain thailand, vietnam louse into northern sections of cambodia. but if we look further to the south, we do have some dry spells across the malay peninsula. much of sumatra, java. so jakarta, sunny day for you and across most of borneo and the forecast on monday, next the sub continent. so we've got to talk about that southwest monsoon. we do have red weather alerts in play for googe right. so that is to say, that's where we think the heaviest rain will fall. the darker the color,

the more intense, the rain. ok, well, and this one off in pakistan where toward the south windsor going to pick up in karachi and we are running the risk of seats and sand storms and the days to come. that sure weather update catch you later. sponsor cut on airways. something was going to change. anything really change. this is systemic violin that needs to be addressed at its core. we are in a race against the variance. know what to say. we are also looking at the world as it is right now, not the world. we like it to be, the devil is always going to be in the details. the bottom line, when i was just around what's most important to me is talking to people understanding what they're going through here as we believe everyone has a story worth hearing. ah, ah

ah, you're watching, i'll just hear your top story. so thought today, india's military is reinforcing. rescue operations in his western regions of the heaviest, rain for july and decades cause flooding and landslides, with 100 people and who have died and dozens more. i'm missing the afghan government imposed a curfew from sensory in 31 to 34 problems is it's aimed at curbing the recent increase in fighting the taliban makes rapid territorial gains. the taliban is wanting to be no peace till a new government is installed. first of people in australia, as most popular city have breached corona, virus restrictions, pretence against lockdown mentions, violence broke out in the city. but he demonstrates is, and the police made several arrests. emergency services in the us say more than 5

and a half 1000 square kilometers an hour on fire across the country. thousands of people have had to leave their homes. heidi joe castro has more from washington. the view from inside an inferno firefighters narrowly escape this blaze, which has scorched 125 square kilometers in nevada and california. it's one of at least $83.00 large fires burning across the western united states. it is just like streamline, hot and dry fuels are at record or near record levels of dryness. the lack of moisture means everything is ready. everything is explosive. in northern california . the dixie fire has reached mega fire status, forcing people near lake el mano to evacuate. al, just trying to stay calm, not panic, and just, you know, fill up your car with gas and take care of the good business. i. the dramatic start

of the u. s. wildfire season comes with the drought amplified by climate change. the dry conditions have helped fuel this fire in oregon, it's the nation's largest and responsible for the destruction of at least 70 home. so far. the impacts so big it's creating its own weather pattern, sending smoke across country to the east coast, contributing to hazy sky lines as far away as new york city. hot temperatures and high winds are also responsible for the fires with little respite predicted as the american summer continues heidi joe castro al jazeera washington, an advisor to the former us president donald trump has been released on bail following a court hearing. billionaire thomas barrack is charged with work, he's a foreign asian on behalf of the united arab emirates barrett chair trump's inaugural fund and helped him get elected. you'll have to wear an electronic monitoring tag and surrender his passport. while awaiting trial kristen,

selena with more from new york barragan's charged with trying to influence improperly lobby the u. s. president for he was working allegedly on behalf of the united arab emirates as he was the chairman of president trump inaugural committee in 2017. this was a substantial stop and i unexpectedly taking place today. he is due to appear in person in a new york courtroom on monday, but his lawyer is attempting to secure his freedom pending trial. prosecutors were very nervous about this because he is a very wealthy man and business man with a private jet and citizenship in lebanon. so they wanted to make sure that his attendance in new york, on monday would be assured before letting him leave this federal detention facility while the investigation into his allege influencing attempted influencing the president continues. he's also charged with lying to investigators back in 2019 who

were looking into this president. trump is not in any way indicted with these charges. he's not named in these charges. prosecutors do allege that the defendant brock had an influence on president tom's foreign policy, however, and also that he was attempting to get a position as a middle east adviser in the trump administration. when all of this was happening, he was informally advising president trump's officials. ah, sir, the gold medal has been one of the tokyo olympics going to china's young c on in the women's 10 me to rifle competition. athletes from russia and switzerland picked up silver and bronze. female athletes are already breaking records at the games. these games will see the highest ever percentage of women taking parts,

and richardson explains from tokyo. the people might be quite different if the lighting, the olympic holderness. friday's opening ceremony, japanese tennis thought, or socket is fast becoming the face of the tokyo olympics. these games will set a new height, the female athletes 49 percent of all competitors or women. compare that to the tokyo games in 964. when the figure stood, it just 13 percent. it's a huge shop window and just promoting capabilities of women and gowns, which often of course get, get hidden, terribly balanced representation of men and women in the media generally on high school sense media coverage is, is wondering girls when they, more than lympics began in 1896, they found that he had a crib. it's all made a pretty blunt assessments on the prospect of women taking part. he said it was

impractical. uncouth in proper and uninteresting. but women did go on to take part at the 1900 games and barriers have been getting broken down ever since. 9 additional mixed gender events are only tokyo schedule. and a big reason, new sports like surfing, sport, climbing, and skateboarding have been included is because of their appeal to both sexes. will get a new, a new audience. you know, they'll be a lot of, maybe millions of people around the world that have never seen before. and they'll get to watch it for the 1st time and, and hopefully we put on the show and, and yeah, i'd love to say that i was able to win a gold medal in the 1st year that was in the olympics. the us women's football team haven't just one full olympic titles. leading players have used their profile to fight for equal pay and social justice. women who go through the experience with discrimination or some other really have life experience like mental health issue.

and like feeling the pressure is too much, they choose to speak out then, then they should be encouraged and supposed to do so. and they should be listened to because these people speak from genuine and authentic experience. i want to fire the girls are watching right now. in the next 2 weeks i cycle and thousands of other female athletes have the chance to do just that. and the richardson al jazeera, tokyo galle ems is a retired british olympics. fill the medalist and badminton from the athens games in 2004 she says female representation has increased in the games, but there's still a lot of room for improvement. i think some people forget that for her so many years may or representation has been way more than the female. so it's great that we just talked a little minds up, but like you said, just come on golf. let's just keep this 5050. now. i think it's just relief that the games have started and now we can get the sport to the talking. and i think

that's the most important thing. with that, it's happening. i. we just got to kayla mason on. i think businesses have been doing amazing on the quality stage inclusion bypass to take the some reason sport has been lagging behind. it is a bit of a boy's club is very obviously when you think about sports, very competitive, ambitious. oh, very male characteristics is always put women down. so now that we've got this sensation now, if i okay, so why have we let this go on and how we will not let this happen again as well as for, you know, i met, i remember getting my kits, you know, lives in the next to him of the latest competition, and i'd like let you pick it up with me about this big. and i'm thinking, how the hell am i supposed to play a sport in best buy? so he and i try to see the sexuality or you know, you called me a female athlete and not equal or just as well the un has decided not to classify the great barrier reef as an endangered heritage site. now that despite evidence

that it is under threat from climate change and coral bleaching green pieces condemning the australian government for lobbying against it, being granted protected status. so the award is a coral reef scientists and a senior lecturer at the university of queensland. she says it is time for the australian government to climate change. seriously. there's absolutely no doubt that the great berry is under the threat. and the daughter is there. it's from only a strain, 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, which frequently result in large mortality on the rape. we have one quality problem for industrialized being the coastline of the great barrier reef, which adds to water quality problems. so if the threats there, 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 emissions, not actual target, but we government also aggressively chases new fossil fuel development, which i think in the current climate is absolutely unforgivable. so they are taking new call, mine's new gas developments, and even using funding for renewables to try and fuel while the strategy. yeah, is a fairly small country population wise. 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 near the coast of st ago and more attain ya is the world's largest . no cold water reef. home to countless, rare and endangered species is also where international companies are drilling for oil and gas. but local fishermen, se dolphins and turtles are washing up dead on the shores of sen ago, that he was hoc reports now from the fishing time of chaos. deep in senegal is territorial waters, 500 meters below sea level are creatures that humans have not yet encountered. it is a canyon as long as the great wall of china, 400 kilometers, and 100 meters high. this is the world's largest cold water reef. home to oysters, that are 30 centimeters long and 500 years old. here are the court of orange reef each fish and endangered charged meat. it is at the edge of this precious ecosystem until now,

undisturbed by human interaction. that while the national companies are preparing to extract billions of barrels of oil in a trillion cubic feet of gas, since the drilling began endangered dolphins, turtles, and other sea life have washed up on the shore. fishermen, by beer i'm fall, has never seen anything like it and says it is about only also if i feel pain and sadness, they like us, they like human beings. these are noble animals to guide us when we go fishing while they lead other fish that their death is a bad sign. clinicals will issue a fishing, says oil and gas companies are not to blame it. think a technique using dynamite to fish may be responsible for the death. while it is illegal, fishermen i might watch shows his son how it's done. the device does not detonate in front of our camera. he says he doesn't want to be seen breaking the law. i've got a leg up and if you're caught you're in trouble. i covered the devices with type,

so it stays dry. otherwise it won't light up. when it's held tight, it's like throwing a small bomb in the water. the fishing ministry says the sound of the explosion alone is enough to kill animals. and it's the worst type of fishing because it destroys the environment. and what's already a fragile ecosystem. scientists believe oxygen level in the ocean or dropping due to human pollution. this to may be causing females to suffocate in the water. this used to be a prestige beach where people used to come in swim the ocean abundance with fish. look at it now. it's, well, it's like a dumb site, was the government installed electricity and the internet for communities living by the sea. there's no infrastructure to deal with the human waste and toxic chemicals there are being thrown into the ocean. but environmentalists say this is just the tip of the iceberg, because out of sight,

hundreds of nautical miles away is environmental pollution of far greater magnitude . chinese and european deep sea trawlers scraped the ocean floor with giant nets. in a matter of minutes, they kill and destroy everything in their path, including coral reefs. scientists predict that within a decade, ocean ecosystems will collapse because of a combination of rising temperatures. over fishing and schuman pollution with it will disappear the opportunity for humans to encounter new species of life. because for them, time may be running out. nicholas hawk al jazeera k are cynical, the top stories one more time here on al jazeera. india's military is reinforcing rescue operations in its western regions after the heavy rain for july and decades cause flood.
