a property slow down the pandemic. they're all playing a role. me and my is set to release more than 5000 people in prison for opposing february's could. this is how it sounds and how it looks when the ice cut reached the sea and a report from greenland on the melting of the ice sheet and its consequences for all of us. and as for spanish and spanish at tennis player paola dasa has won the biggest tides of her career, but does have beating form a world number one, victoria, that inc, i and the indian wells final ah, every one flooding and landslides have now killed at least 27 people in the south of india rescue operations by the army and navy. continuing in corolla,

thousands have been stranded in parts of that coastal state authorities fear the number of dead could rise significantly. the input some, let me see. i got a list and 3 bodies of yesterday, 9 more bodies. bodies have been one family completely, no 6 members of the limit avenue to buy them in the money order. the water ended with force at around 11 p. m. in my house and all the things were lost last year it had not rain like the way it has rain this year. we were not able to find the items in our house. the rain water entered the house. we only have the clothes that we are wearing. we appeal to the government to give us compensation. so let's get an update elizabeth per on him live for us. i'm one of the worst affected districts. it's called the young. let's bring us up to date. and then come on that side we

are in for band in the community to was to pick the districts and canada along with that. authorities have jobs to recover a 140 on the degree of and then slide what's happening here in put them in as in many other talks of cadillac there with people from the disaster response to this and trying to clear this bloody all debris into the trees which are up all along the river banks. this is really important because on the range is stopping again and this heavy rains expected for wednesday. that's really important to try to clear as much of the plot to ways as possible to prevent further flooding. now where we are all along destroyed, i'm just going to put my food on because it's really, really foreign down now where we where we are along this road. entire

homes have been reduced to nothing. but rather we've spoken to people who have devastated bit lost everything they had nowhere else to go. now we've got the concrete and metal great all over the school that has been glossed away homes that have not been reduced to every single position that people own is covered in mud. so there is a lot of recovery work here to do. and the rescue teams are still searching for some people who are missing. there was a move in a lot of these people who lost their hands and to more than a 100 or leave hands that have been set up. and that's complicated because, you know, the kind of situation in canada is it's been reporting some of the highest numbers of cases, in fact, the highest number of cases and death in india. a saw she's trying to keep the numbers lowes at shelters, so that they can maintain social distance a for trying to contain bind to the situation as well as managing the flooding. any

question, elizabeth, over preparedness levels, because this doesn't come as a surprise, a pretty much happens every year. hey, there are a lot of questions that i send out is because it all, you know, flooding during the months and it happens every year. the frequency of the sort of disasters the last slide to flash floods is movie and paste of the last 10 years. that's interesting because there was a force done on the ecology of his regions that were for the western god. let's take a new, basically, but it's a can logically, very fragile, and to live the west got to what's demand in the process of this expert report that was done 10 years ago. so that there was a lot of foreign extraction construction being done in areas that it shouldn't be. and that that is directly linked to the frequency of math because of all of this, back to the t, it erodes the forest, which are

a natural barrier. when it flies to and environmentalists say that the recommendations don't follow, just focus almost like church leaders like political parties, that some of the worst men's lives that are taking place this year on the same places that happens in 2018 with in the state and a 100 years with died and those are the areas where all of these things like obstruction, provoke and construction and building is taking place. live with her on him and the rhine there and katia carol a thank you for that report. get yourself into some shelter there if you can. we're going to go to put now now near mom by to talk to the not chandra men on who is the founding member of india's national disaster authority. thank you for your time, sir. how are, in your opinion, the rescue and recovery efforts going i seen in spite of the rain, we still having an opportunity with the search and rescue teams from the national

disaster response post along with local organizations and elector representatives. trying to do the search and rescue operations. but this has been happening in 2018 in august. we had to do was having floods, which was estimated to cost more than $5400000000.00. and there was also lots of life at that time. in strict and also, and, and 31000 the loss of life due to land in why not district and district and the same district we are facing the live sites this year also happened last year. so we see this happening largely because of the indiscriminate mining and also the deforestation which has been happening right. what i wanted to ask you about, sorry, i'll interrupt you there. just the, the specific human intervention. because obviously the monsoon rains, it's again,

it's an annual event and there's nothing anyone can do about this, but the level of human intervention as you talk about mining and deforestation is a problem to yes, actually don't do this problem and get a lot because of the psychotic storms and various other disturbances which have been happening, including the 2004. the summer we had the notion synonymy, which also on the coastal areas. and along with dominant. i do and also on to the anatomy in tomorrow. and so in get a lot actually we have seen that there was because of this and i'm, you know, so, but some kids like loan and there have been attempts and dumps of, you know, putting c laws. but i think the solutions are important and especially in the for dial best and got the region. as elizabeth mention, we need to have more nature based solutions and they go system space because these are areas increasingly becoming more for the human interventions which are actually

reading problems. getting fountain hills are being level and you know, we see a lot of deforestation and minding happening in the lead areas. so it's more than a case of just stopping these things. stopping mining will stopping the deforestation. actual things need to be done to, to rectify the damage you were talking about solutions. that's right. in fact, actually in 2018, we had more than 1500000 people in the really fam, brilliant comments that are operating at that time in august 2018. over your bill, seeing that there are only a $185.00 times have been set up largely because of the situation. i have been having a very large number of infections reported. in fact, right now was having one point having about 30000 new cases to come down, but over the probate cases that are actually making the dispensing mandatory. and

so this becomes a problem. and so we are finding this challenge of getting, you know, 2nd generation effects of the faster coupling somebody in look, i'm really glad we could talk to you about this and get a letter information and context. we know that chandra men on from the national disaster authority in india. thank you, sir. thank you. we're moving on to china where economic growth is flowing as it's post. pandemic recovery loses momentum. the world's 2nd largest economy grew at a rate of 4.9 percent in the 3rd quarter. not bad, but it is still the weakest figure in a year because he's been under pressure from a slow down and construction power shortages and the impact of tighter regulations . exports and services though do remain strong off of aging. we go to speak to katrina. you about this and, and take us through some of the reasons for the slow down katrina

while many analysts that we've spoken to say that the government itself and the policies that it's recently implemented to tyson regulations and the number of industries are partly to blame for this lower than expected figure. so economists were predicting around 5.2 percent, but instead we saw 4.9 percent. like you said, it isn't terrible, but it is still disappointing. now what we've seen is the government type regulations on a number of industries that have been traditionally major drivers of growth here in china. so 1st off is the energy sector. china husband curbing co production in order to try to aggressively meet some of its climate change targets, and that's resulted in nationwide power shortages. and that's affected manufacturing and productivity. secondly, we have to look at the housing market. now this over the past decade has grown quite rapidly. it's been quite an unwieldy industry. it's cause a lot of fears about instability and the risks that it could cause to china's

economy. on the last year, china has really cracked down with some new regulations, and that's really damned and investment in this area. and that's a big because for china, the housing construction sector accounts for about a quarter of the countries g d p. and also we've seen china's biggest real estate developer ever ground, which has in recent weeks been in headlines. it's been in hot water, has about $300000000000.00 worth of debt that it's struggling to pay back. and that has also scared investors who might be doing business with other real estate development here in china. so we can demick switch continues to affect global supply chains. sorry, katrina, i interrupt you mid flight. but i was just thinking, as he started to talk about the grant and the like, with that type of negative news, how is the government trying to frame all of this? well, the government is trying to downplay concerns early. it gave a press conference here in china saying that while this figure is on the lower side,

it's still within a reasonable range. and it says that china is fundamental when it comes to the economy. austell good. let's have a listen to what fooling play a spokesperson from china's national bureau to just sticks. had to say about this earlier today. sunday, don't you don't fool should have. so don't eat you. although the economy, the growth rate into a quarter has been effected by various factors such as pandemic situation, flight conditions, and rising bays, numbers china's economy development has shown strong resilience and white timothy. whole economy continues to recover and to trend towards high quality level allotment is constantly changing and it has the ability and conditions to complete expect goals and tasks for economy and social development throughout the year. at analysts that i interviewed earlier about this, i think said it best, she says it seems that the chinese government has done a trade off. it's traded off higher economic growth for more financial stability.

and that's why we've seen the slow growth rate for this 3rd quarter. but still, china's central bank is confident, but that by the end of the year overall, china will have been able to achieve about 8 percent growth. so we'll just have to keep watching to see if they're right about that. always watching. thank you. katrina, you with that report from beijing on the news. i thank you. chinese economy so important to the rest of the world. it is one of those countries we take more interest in these quarterly numbers. but what i want to do is zoom out and look at annual growth over a longer period, because that is when you see the bigger and in some ways concerning picture. i've got a chart here. it's from the world bank. these are the last 40 years of annual growth in china. i just want to highlight a few points all of this eighty's and ninety's. the data is a little more erratic, so we're actually going to start as low point, which is $999.00. growth is that 7.6 percent at this point, this is the asian financial crisis. now, 7.6 percent. it's still good. obviously. then this big period of growth up an up

and up. china is preparing for the world exposure. it's preparing for the beijing olympic games to a point where greece is forgive my writing, a 14.2 percent. that's not sustainable obviously. and there is a downward trend since then around 10 percent here. this is the global financial crisis. again, whether in the storm, better probably than other countries. this point here, 5.9 percent. that's pre pandemic. so this is 2019 again, 5.9. most countries would be thrilled with that. but now the downward trend to 2.3 percent growth last year. during the pandemic. yeah, but general trend, it is down over the last 10 or 15 years. so let's get a couple of perspective here in a moment. andrew kahlia who's managing director of orient capital research, conduct independent studies on china. but 1st, victor guerara, he's the vice president of the center for china and globalization and says, while the latest figures the disappointing, he thinks the government still on track to meet an annual talked. i think china's confident that it's a year number for 2021 in terms of g d, p growth, or china as

a whole, could still reach about 8 percent. and that will me, china, one of the best, if not the best performing economies are all the larger economies in the world. and i think if you look very closely on the negative side, yes, recently there's being significant price increasing commodities, oil gas and also imported coal. and there is concern about energy security, disruption of and use apply to china in a short while, as well as the low, medium and longer term. this is a concern. and also in terms of the financial regulation channel as being tightening up financial regulation significantly, especially financing for privately owned property companies. and i think this is some of the self inflicted wounds in china in the recent months. and i think her,

in terms of global logistics, you'll hear a lot of bad stories in the united states in europe, for example, about their inability to get their house in order. one of the key issues is that, in fact, the pandemic has not been the deal killer for china. that people would have expected, their exports were quite strong, even though the global economy is struggling and retail sales domestically. we're up for point 4 percent. so things are slower than they used to be, but in fact, the pandemic related stuff is doing okay. apart from the supply disruptions because of the sharp locked downs and china, most of the problems in china with the economy are, but a lot of them are actually engineered by the government itself. they've done a number of restrictions and crackdowns that have slowed economic growth in order to improve the long term ability of the economy to survive in china. they've got this huge debt bubble, mainly property fuel, which is about a 3rd of the economy. and they made

a strong effort in the past year to try to knock that down to sides. and not surprisingly that means there's less housing are being built and sold. and then you had this huge developer over graham, the number $21.00 in the country with $300000000000.00 of debt. and because of all these tighter regulations on borrowing, they're in deep trouble. so that's been a significant drug on the economy coming up 18 minutes past the hour. his was a head, an update on the situation. the protest, the sit in protest, in fact, outside sedans, presidential palace in cartoon or at lee pan, african film and television festival, where top directors say the industries economic possibilities a huge and in sport. this former world number one is a form in las vegas. son has got that and the rest of the sport a little later. ah

right now that me and my with the military leader has rejected demands made by i see on the association of southeast asian nations to comply with its plan for a political transition. men on lady comments were the 1st since being mar was excluded from an upcoming ass down meeting. the military government is planning to release more than 5600 people who were arrested over their role in the protest. that's according to state television. more than 7000 have been detained since the military sees power back in february. and i did evie lardy after the statement was announced in april. more violence happened due to the provocations of terrorist groups. the c r p h n, and the n u g. and the involvement of ethnic armed organizations, we are still solving that no one cares to stop that violence and killing. and they are only demanding that we solve the issue assay and should work on that. more on

the story with florence louis report from caliber. so these amino lang 1st public remarks made them on national television after emerged over the weekend. that ozzy and foreign ministers had agreed in a hastily convened meeting on friday to exclude the lead from an upcoming. are the leaders summit to be hosted by brunei later this month. now he didn't make any mention of the art in decision, but he seemed to solely lay the blame for violence in miano on opposition. groups that are opposed to the general rule. he blame the national unity government that since been outlawed. and he also blamed armed ethnic groups that oppose the general rule. now it's true that there is a lot of violence and a lot of fighting in areas, especially areas controlled by ethnic groups. but i think groups in many civil groups will say that a lot of the violence is started by security forces. now,

myanmar has been in turmoil since the coo took place in february. more than a 1100 people have been killed. thousands more have been detained, known aussie, and delivered the unprecedented snub. because it said, it felt that myanmar was not committed to the 5 point piece plan that had been agreed to doing a summit in indonesia, back in april. and the decision to sideline men on laying also came just days after a peace and voy, appointed by austin, abruptly cancelled his meeting on his visit to me on the after being told he would not be able to meet with alfred leader on santucci with us. now david math and he's an independent analyst of me and mine, a former senior research human rights. what she's on scott from chang my in thailand today. they would thank you for your time. this release of puts a 5 and a half 1000 people. first of all, it sounds pretty significant, but i believe your take on it is not a different will certainly is very significant for all. ready ready of those people who are going to be released in their family. and that's really good news for them

. carry on. but it's not actually going to be terribly politically significant in the broad us game . the thing. it's good for them personally. but there are still an estimated 1005 and a people behind behind bars and people still being arrested and people being hunted down. and it doesn't necessarily change the conflict dynamics around the country. but the military, so started with, with the crew data and it doesn't seem to be any commitment to resolving the nationwide problems on this. i think this is measure was ahead of a significant holiday. it meant to demonstrate that the sac hold oh, the state and ministration council told the high moral ground which, which they really don't. and i don't think internationally, anyone should be bamboozled by this at all. i don't think it really changes the military mindset. so it's not,

it's not doing something like this to sort of react to the decision. i suspect that the me, in my military latest probably don't really worry too much about what i see on things. unfortunately, they don't. and i think as in recent decisions to, to, to block senior gentleman on line from, from that meeting really is an expression of their intense frustration and displeasure. and it's quite remarkable that as he and donna so i think a lot of people who can be very critical of as the end approach in the past several months, will look at this and see that, you know, even with his 5 point consensus and they did the special envoy from as yeah, to make some headway still being frustrated by the sex in transit. so they just don't want to play along with a lot of this. certainly not on, on terms that actually as wages as the and in any way i think that they're showing that they're obstructing all of these efforts from, from global leaders and regional later. so what would it take, either from se,

on as a whole or from member states, some sort of concrete action, some sort of, of decision which would directly affect the rule as their one would like to think that if the leaders about the decided that intransigent of the military leaders in b m, i was such that they would consider suspending as an membership and full charge. i think a lot of these ideas won't necessarily register in naked or i think the generals have been through this before and in previous generations. and to them it's, they feel that they're being hot done by the that, that they're fighting the war against, against terrorists and resistance fighters throughout the country without acknowledging that they're the, the principal plan. they're the ones requesting the people with me. and so i've got some hot thinking to do about what next steps to to take. but i do think that a lot of other countries around the world, the united nations and other leaders have to figure out

a way to actively help as the and through this and to find other point of putting pressure on the side of ministration council. unfortunately, there's not many points of pressure that you can do. i think the military's really . ready hunkering down and becoming more define not more cooperative, that map some of his thoughts on me and mart today. thank you for joining us. we do appreciate it. thank you. the african television and film industry is on the edge of a boom, and that's according to united nations research. it is predicting that with further investments, $20000000.00 jobs and $20000000000.00 in revenue can be created. nicholas hawk reports from the pan african film, intelligent film and television festival, in thinking about far from dead african cinema is going through a revival. where on set in burkina faso is capital. why do go where a big name of african cinema de sac as our dojo is coaching young actors, he has

a stake in the movie and wanted to do well herb, those money to be made in africa. lot of money. lot of money. you know, you just need to get a good idea that they're good producer and i make a good feel and you can sell it. there's lot of money. but before you do that, you need the government to do to create a system where you can get money. the power house of african cinema is the booming nigerian film industry, also known as natalie. would many nigerian films are featuring at burkina, faso pan african film. and television festival known as fest pepco. this is my desire is a slow pace drama funded entirely in nigeria. in short and 16 millimeter film across 48 locations in league off. i can press high with low production values, but quality camera work. nigerian films are being sold directly online to consumers . nigerian producers have disrupted the way movies are made and finance. they're

proving to the rest of the world and africa that local filmmakers cannot just make money, but get rich to creative cinema. this is the 1st take in what will become an hour and a half long african drama. once that you have the director, the g o, p, dozens of actors, the director has even hired an extra camera to film the making of of the movie. he says he's trying to produce quality african cinema because the market has become increasingly competitive during the bertino sa. so festival filmmakers meet producers and distributors earlier funding used to come mostly from western institution. but this has changed for the actual netflix mall. it was effect, invented by in durance news online and created pay as you go services using you to channels. this is revolutionize the film industry, allowing filmmakers to fund their films and give them on the international markets

that they wanna devolve. theories like, well, a book from senegal or easy to access online and are gaining in popularity among young african audiences. but so is art, how cinema, like if i had died in film exploring cut a plant containing stimulants, the mass production of movies has created renewed enthusiasm with once abandon cinemas, reopening their doors. so spectators can see their stories being brought to life on the big screen. nicholas hawk al jazeera. why do plenty more ahead? do you all this use our rent price as a climbing at a record, right? in cherokee you will look at why they went up 3 times the global average. also, authorities issue a warning that the volcanic eruption on the palm of could last for months, the latest from the on and spoke the land to braves move within to gain a baseball world. ah

hello there. it's looking increasingly west and windier for northern and north western areas of europe over the next few days. but there is still a lot of mild weather around central areas and not the one coming through in the south where temperatures are sitting above average. but let's have a look at the southeast now. this area's been plagued by severe storms that have pushed off further east that low pressure sitting across the black sea. so heavy a rain from northern parts of turkey. it winds up for much of the balkans, but we are still seeing some showers across southern parts of italy and greece, but temperatures here are going to rise again over the next few days. now as i said, it's milder and knows more than areas, but we are going to see a bit of a brisk winds. come into play over the next few days. we've got some heavy rain coming into northern areas of france, southern areas of england, but well, much of britain, an island. it remains breezy with some spells of heavy rain coming in to play later

in the week. but we're watching an area of low pressure across the atlantic that's bringing heavy rain, snow and strong winds to iceland. and by the time we get into when say it's going to shimmy cross into scandinavia, where we are going to see some significant snowfall. but there's plenty of fine and dry weather across those southern areas of france and into the iberian peninsula, with madrid at $25.00 degrees celsius. that sure weather. ah, a ganga media censorship. and the rise of authoritarian rule. you wake up one day, the system has been turned from an electoral democracy into a competitive authoritarian shame. look at the loss of power in hungary, in the experiences of those who live it every day. that is a pressure on us. but we haven't to be very careful, of course, and we have to be brave enough to support that question how democracy dies.

democracy may be on al jazeera in the country with an abundance of results for the red barn.
