in the fight and i river in argentina where the government has declared 180 day water emergency because this river is suffering from a historic drought. last lots of protest as a gathering into rudy is off to the left as president pedro castillo was sworn in to ah, we begin in turkey where the fires burning large swathes of coastline. 6 people confirmed dead experts. a warning the extent of the season's fires should serve as a warning of what climate change could bring. dozens of hotels have been evacuated with tourists, fleeing by boat. almost 100 fires are broken out in turkey as of wednesday, although most of them are now under control. the conditions they have worsened because of a heat wave across southern europe. fed by hot air from africa, forecasts to say temperatures could go as high as 50 degrees celsius and it's not
3:02 am
just happening in europe. more than $60000000.00 americans in several states are on the official heat warnings as temperature sought to near record levels and an ongoing drought in argentina threatened to devastate agriculture and trade. the countries declared a water emergency with its largest river. now at a record low level, more on the situation in south america in a moment. first russell santa sent us this report from man of gods in al talia province in turkey. president, one is just silly and man i got the and he is having a meeting with, with all the majority of his cabinet here, minister of interior minister for the 3 culture tourism. even when minister of foreign affairs also was there. and he said that there was, there will be a huge package off the compensation, particularly for those who have suffered from the law says that the houses that
3:03 am
have been damaged are going to be rebuilt. the agricultural areas that we're under the fire also are going to go through every 4 station process. the taxes are going to be postponed. but he also said that more than time active zones are sci fi suffering from the, the forest for the fire. so the fire is not under the control, but he said it has been remarkable progress since when does they, when the 1st report regarding the fire being erupted, came out. so in that doesn't the investigation is quite important here because the government says that maybe the peak i k is behind is our tax is called the an asthma attack because the p k in previous years has conduct the 1st organized arson attacks. the government believes that in to a certain extent may be the peak, i keep repeating the same tactics, but so far there is the conflict could be the cause. coordination between the
3:04 am
intelligence service, ministry of interior, gender, mondays, and other security apparatus going on into deep and deeper into the investigation to find out whether this is an organized, organized event or not. launch, tina has declared a 180 day water emergency to do with the parameter river. it's one of the most important waterways in south america. that's because it connects argentina, paraguay, and brazil. but it's at historically low levels. as theresa bo now reports. i'm here in the city over the side of the province on time, duffy about 3 hours away from the capital. and this river that you can see right behind me is that by an around 80 percent of argentine, us exports leave the country through this river over 4000 ships like mechanical ships that you can see right behind me passing through this area. what's happening here right now is that this river has hit a historic low. it should be 3 meters higher, that it is right now. we're told by experts that are around 6000 cubic meters are
3:05 am
being lost at this point. every 2nd of the part and i river right now, and this has a huge it back to an argentine as exports or now generation of electricity, among others issues that are happening right now. and that's why the government of america fernandez, has declared the water emergency for a 180 days to assist producers among others of those affected by what's happening in the country. right now we traveled through the pad and now to find out what's exactly going on. it's almost 5000 kilometers in length, making it their 2nd longest river in south america. but now the water in the bottom, the river, you said its lowest in almost 80 years due to lack of rainfall. miami now on the camping area on the riverbank, she used to have to use a boat to move around, but not anymore. i mean, unless you go to during the summer there was a bit more walter, so we had more people,
3:06 am
but you cannot reach this area walking. we don't have a lot of war. the river is crucial for argentina's economy with millions of tons of grain, beef, and other agriculture exports passing through here. this place where i'm standing is in the middle of the river, there's no water left only sand. this is also part of one of the origins, 100 main exports woods ships are being forced to leave around 30 percent of their cargo because of lack of water. the main concern for local people here is that the situation could get even worse. the file columbo is part of a group of environmental lawyers fighting for the future of the river. you might be assuming it was more or less the climate change, whether alteration is extraordinary drought combined with scarce rainfall. we have to put it in context with what has been happening in the region. we're in the heart argentine as agricultural belt and we know that to has an impact on the environment . the last time the river with this low was in 1944 and many fear
3:07 am
a return of the land mean. yeah. phenomenon. weather pattern that generates intense storms in some places and routing, others, environmental group say deforestation, and forest fires in argentina. but i why, as well as brazil, i, when packing the river, i love any send you serious fires and deforestation in the amazon means you're diminishing the amount of vegetation that generates evaporation and puts moisture back into the air. if the situation continues, we'll see more sharp changes in the weather. we are concerned about what's happening in brazil because the parents, river and others originate in brazil. the government is urging people to limit their water use as preserving the piano has become a priority for all in big business and those who live alongside it. and this is happening at a very special time for this country. argentine is not only fighting up and democrats also fighting
3:08 am
a massive economic crisis. poverty rates are on the rise. inflation is a major concern, a double digit inflation rates. argentina is currently negotiating a flooring debt with international monetary fund over $40000000000.00 of flooring debt. so there's a main concern of what's happening to experts in argentina. that's why the government declared that water emergency for a 180 days. and there's lots of concern about what could happen in the next 2 months if the water levels do not increase in rainfall. does not increase then this could have suddenly an enormous impact. no tony, on exports, but also on those who depend on this river to make a living. well, earlier we spoke to mark decent or who teaches environmental studies at the university of new south wales. he says it's wealthy countries who have the greatest responsibility to reduce emissions. best job the politicians can do now is to, to respond and mitigate climate change, which is the main driving factor that increasing the severity and the frequency of
3:09 am
these wildfires and also of floods. so we need action to transition to from fossil fuels, to renewable energy. we need to improve our public transport and facilities for active transport. we need to transform our industrial heat to renewable electricity . we know what the solutions are, that many politicians are resisting change because they are very close to the vested interest to the fossil field. industries that do not wish to change. it is the, the wealthy countries and the wealthy individuals who are producing the greatest carbon emissions and making the greatest contribution to climate change. and hence, the wildfires and floods that follow. so really it's the rich countries that to reduce their consumption, we have to reduce the consumption when the rich countries. and
3:10 am
a lot of our consumption is also involved in buying goods and services from the rapidly developing countries like china and india, and brazil, and mexico in indonesia. and so we buy our consumption in the rich countries are increasing greenhouse gas emissions. in the rapidly developing countries peruse new left, his president petro castillo is facing anti government protest. his days after he took office supporters of his rival in last month selection rallied in the capital lima castillo narrowly beat. conservative keiko, which maury and bitterly contested the polarized the country. critics. the he's failed to honor his pledge to build a broad base government. earlier, his finance minister was sworn in the relief of some business leaders. castillo chose a moderate economist petro frankie after peruse, currency and stock index dropped. marianna sanchez is in lima. these are mainly

3:16 am
his days after taking office supporters of his rival in last month selection running the capital millions of americans face the risk of eviction from oratory and put in place during the pandemic expires. it was meant to slow the spread of the virus by preventing crowding in homes and shelters. it also helped during a time of high unemployment and of course, uncertainty live now to washington and my colleague, she hypertensive, she have how many people might this effect? the estimates are between 7.4 and 11000007.4 according to statistics, haven't been circulating in congress 7.4 in the next 2 months could be a victim. and yet both the legislature controlled by the democrats and the white house controlled by democratic president joe biden didn't do anything we've known for a month that this was going to expire tonight. here in the u. s. the supreme court said that the centers for disease control had overstepped. us are 40 by putting in
3:17 am
my instance using this is more a tourism. and yet it was just 2 days ago that the white house press secretary said, well, we can wait to see what congress has come up with to prevent people from being evicted, to which the congressional leadership said what i thought you were going to do something about says we weren't going to do something about this and we had this terrible charade on friday nights here, where the house of representatives, they bacon leaned and they went through the motions of trying to pass something. would you call it really pos something in a few hours just before the august recess. if they have started the baby progresses . and i've been looking at this with the last month, even for the beginning of the year that you could get people on board given how many people, millions of people are going to be affected by this. but, you know, the democrats themselves have, have problems with this because a lot of you have a centrist democrats and there's a lot of from real estate agent lobbying money flowing around the capitol hill. but anyway, they basically didn't touch this. the bye didn't ministrations as well. we couldn't
3:18 am
do anything, but they didn't tell the congressional leaders because, you know, we don't want to annoy the supreme court because if we, if we try and challenges any farther than maybe they'll go off to some of the other programs that we've instituted. because of cobra. the progress is a long said was look, have another executive order re institute this. and at least when it goes back to the court that will buy time for an existing program, but still has $46000000000.00 of cash, just lying there waiting to be dispersed to people who face eviction at least. then we'll give it time for that. but so in working because right now it's only released about i think it's about 7 percent. i think the think it was in the last 3 months. those are such with the hurdles, instituted in this program to help people facing eviction, to give them the money to pay that landlords to prevent eviction, but the fight and ministration didn't do that so. so here we are. i mean, it's also another sign by the way, which points to how, how many hurdles there are for the programs, and you just on the cobit to help the poor compared to the almost unlimited
3:19 am
billions of dollars of cash that was doled out to big corporations in democratic party donors who were, who were facing much less hodge or perhaps on the cobra. so all sorts of also rather characteristic features to this particular crisis. and now we have 11000000 people, 11000000 people fighting eviction and something is dancing. and when we talk about the pool getting flora, i guess because that's what we're talking about and the rich getting richer through the prism of this particular talking point. i guess this will predictably hit marginalized people at the wrong end of the economic chain because we're talking surely about marginalized people. that means people of color that mean single mothers with children. yeah. okay. the, the eligibility statistics, the eligibility requirements to get on that program for the monitor and then people ending left like $11000.00. well people have unemployed people who have nowhere else to go. people who've taken how the huge financial hit from cobra, but yeah,
3:20 am
i mean, this is the been the story off the pandemic, but it onto the truck, out the bite and ministration is that it was the well heeled have been given to going to 20 of federal money and from both the government and the federal reserve and others. whereas the poor as always have to go to these hurdles which actually leaves that suspicion. that both in the centrist democrats body and we know that's in the us and the republican party. but the attitude always is 2 corporations that will do whatever we can to keep you going. but when it comes to the poor, there's always that underlying philosophy that people should pull themselves up by their own bootstraps. she, thanks very much, she ever sends you the johnny's life from washington. hundreds of people who rallied against the lazy as prime minister over his handling of the pandemic they want to get in yes, in to resign infections have surge, despite emergency measures in place. since january, nearly 9000 people have died, the protest in color lumper was mostly led by young people. tens of thousands of
3:21 am
people in france, again protesting against so called vaccine passports, the government attempting to make a health pass compulsory now in bars and restaurants and to say it amounts to a form of dictatorship. his poll brennan, the cobit health passport, has been mandatory in france since mid july, with visitors to leisure and cultural venues like museums having to prove that they've either been vaccinated, tested negative in the previous 48 hours, or recovered from the disease during the previous 6 months, but what's brought tens of thousands of demonstrators out onto the streets for a 3rd successive weekend. is the proposal to extend the passport to cover bars and restaurants, and make it compulsory for health care workers to be vaccinated sheets for young. i'm enough and i've resigned because i think we mustn't be blackmailed. i also think that we shouldn't be told what to do. so as you move paula, as an obstacle to freedom. if now we need a virus pass to fetch groceries,
3:22 am
go to the cinema or enjoy life after a grueling job. the past is a real danger for everybody. it's really an empty social thing. it's more. so we are creating a segregated society and i think it's unbelievable to be doing this in the country of human rights. i've never protested before in my life, but i think our freedom is in danger. france is in the grip of its 4th wave of covert infections. more than 24000 new cases. a day is more than doubled. the number of just when we get the balance between individual liberty and collective solid density is particularly challenging here. problems in particular, people lead as a violation of important give us, we are all equal and no one is a 2nd class citizen just because he or she decides against explanation. which brings up a problem with solidarity, which is the thought
3:23 am
n e t pillow system. because they are risk groups that need to be protected from those with being. it's their personal choice, whether they do something for society or not. there is clear evidence that despite the demonstration for vaccine passport law is having the desired effective driving out vaccination rates. 3 weeks ago, just 40 percent of french adults were double vaccinated. that's now risen to 52 percent who had both jobs and opinion polls show that 70 percent of voters support the plan for compulsory vaccination of health care workers. the demonstrators on making themselves heard that they are a vocal minority, holborn, and i'll just in italian government has also announced similar plans and that led to protests in milan, the prime minister, marian rocky edge people to get vaccinated or risk. a new locked on the us is urging beach and is he in president case said to outline a swift return to a democratic path. national security advisor jim sullivan spoke to him on the
