. what is an emergency situation? you know, new dad, he is one of the most polluted cities in the was it the air has had as hazardous and unhealthy throughout the year, but becomes worse this time of year, largely because of the fact that it is the onset of winter temperatures are dipping you know that farm fire and things like that. so what the government has done is, is, has shot schools indefinitely. sh of schools and colleges in delhi and surrounding cities were in fact outside a school like that. and you can see the gets a shot. and at this point, we don't know when they're gonna open, you know, the students had just returned to the classroom. oh, just a few weeks ago to review in person learning. and now another emergency has sent them back to online classes. authorities have also taken some emergency measures on other fronts. so construction which is one of the largest polluters in the city, has also been a pause for the next few days. only trucks that are carrying emergency goods will be allowed to enter delhi. the government are employees of the city of delhi will

be working from home. but the central government, which is also here, because this is the nation's capital, says its employees will not be working from home and has instead suggested they do what is called a carpool. so you sort of chevy, it goes to reduce the number of cars on the street. now, apart from bad authority, said there will be doing some other things, like sprinkling water on plans on the streets to settle the dust or using dust suppressants, and also generate us or diesel generators have also been banned except for an emergency. 2 situations tom atlanta: you know denny has it on 11 toma power plants around it and 6 of them have been temporarily shot. now the city has been considering a 2 day locked down. but that decision will be taken in the supreme court only next week. but you know, these are against got situations and what activists have been seeing is that they want a long term systemic solution to what is a long term systemic problem. ok,

poverty retell their bring is up to dates for you daily. thank. keep having me, let us get more on this now. joining us from pu ne, in india is vino winode men on. he's a disaster management and climate consultants and was cell phones or member of the national disaster authority of india is good to have you on the show. mr. men, on, it does seem like a real situation that india's finding itself in. why do you think india's air pollution problem it is getting worse? you know, we are see increasingly the impact of climate change in many cities and we're seeing on pretty little brain power. busy busy with seeing moving on seeing a lot of pollution and we also see the sea level rise and various other consequences of the way in which human interference with nature is creating

problems. and weight. collusion is one of the sources of pollution and data during quality in the national capital region and many solutions. somebody proposed. but then we know we need to understand that in many parts of the developing countries, we see more and more increased use of charcoal, more colorado and various other means of creating energy for cooking, heating, water, and song. so i'm sorry to jump in that you've mentioned some of the things that people could be doing in a way to try and mitigate this problem. is there a concern to jeff from the government to bring in some policy that will help clear the air? because as we heard from our correspondence, it's still got measures that are being introduced and nothing more wide or long

term. rather, i think the situation demands in only the formidable white paper which can actually under so some of these measures i don't, my shows are really shocked by solutions which will not be able to really address the problem. so what we need are, you know, more concrete, my shows, which can actually will be on just the policy from the govern, the community stakeholder groups. all statement of in didn't, but what we need is better action. multi stakeholder engagement is needed. we need to know what the corporate sector we need to work, but we need to look, you know, the chambers of commerce and industry, and many other groups in a whole bunch of the problem. i'm sorry, again, to jump in. it's not

a recognition from the government that they are prepared to do this because this is an annual problem that the pollution is coming back coming back. is the government saying we want to do this, or is there no willingness and on a governmental level? actually in the government constituted commissions for quality management and they hadn't come to some meetings but you know what we needed so you know, all the actions which the community and the other groups will participate. so we know that heating water for booking and you know, we using or be using more other forms for energy. but then what we need to understand is that, you know, we need solutions which are you solution. so the like the plans which are

actually working, the solid waste management itself in a burning of plastic incinerators being used and these are all contributing to the problem. and then the results of the struggle barney, my follows, you know, in job and then how do you know which actually also created pollution. ok, this is the problem. yes it is. i think it's an a serious problem. vino men on we're out of time, but thank you very much indeed for joining us on the user. thank you very much. thank you. the western canada is struggling to contain widespread flooding. at least one person has been killed by a landslide and 2 others are missing. extreme weather has forced the closure of almost every routes to and from the city of vancouver showed. events has more stranded for days. this air left was forced to wait for the extreme weather to subside before helicopters could even begin to rescue motorist trapped by the flood

waters. this is just one of many similar scenes happening across british columbia. meteorologist warned of the approaching atmospheric river headed toward the west coast of canada late last week. none could have predicted just how much rain would fall, or for how long record rains devastated. major highways, one by one they were all closed. the 1st to close due to a mudslide, was the busiest, the coca how highway with a major connection between the port of vancouver and the rest of canada. sustaining major damage and officials have yet to determine any timeline on reopening the case of a debris, it may be as simple as removing the debris and showing that the road that the road is safe. it may be in other areas that you know, there needs to be additional work done. but the bottom line is if those technical assessments are being done and the ministry of transportation,

highways are working as hard as they can to get roads open as quickly and safely as possible. evacuations and rescues remain the priority. also with the search and recovery of anyone reported missing deadly heat and wildfires in summer and just 5 months later. record rain and flooding all adding volume to prime minister just introduce those plea cop 26 about the impacts of the climate emergency in canada. canada is warming on average, twice as quickly as the rest of the world. and in our north. it's 3 times quick. the science is clear, we must do more and faster with a storm. now past the repair and reopening timeline is the looming concern. jody vance. al jazeera, vancouver, and another city on canada's west coast has issued an urgent cold for evacuations.

for it is a small city of a $150000.00 people, just outside of vancouver. officials, housing, emergency press conference late on tuesday, calling for the area of seumas prairie to evacuate immediately. they say water pumped could fail within the next few hours, and it would be catastrophic. the situation is changing by the minute, and that is why we are taking all steps necessary. at this time, residents need to place priority on life safety and not ignore the current evacuation orders that are in place and have been since this morning and to leave the area immediately. there's no way for that water to go, so people will be incredibly surprised how quickly the situation will, will develop. so the message here is the night. if you are still on to mass perry, you need to leave to get out of the area. i know it's hard for farmers to leave

their lives to walk, but people's lives are more important to me right now than livestock and chickens. well, it is here meteorologist rob mccallum he is here with us in the studio at. rob looks like a very worrying situation, just those of by explaining what's happening here. what's an atmospheric river? it's surprisingly well named actually, how are it is indeed that a river, but it's in the sky. so go through them, water, it's water vapor, and it is so effective because it starts off typically in hawaii. now, as you can see, because i've named it upon up express, we've seen this before is where it ends up is often different. so a 26 degrees you evaporate an awful lot of moisture into the air as a jet stream of, of it a long way up. and that tends to induce this sort of line of clad that goes all the way from hawaii up to somewhere on the coast of north america. now most recently, of course it's been west in canada and it's rained for days all night and think up the hall from each and you've just seen the result of that. now, thankfully that rain has gone through the course. it's left its legacy on the

ground. in fact, what happened since is it snowed is been written, the ground there is flooding and then it snowed offers. the things have improved greatly. what's actually happened to the the river is it's finally moved on. i've now got a stove snowstorm in saskatchewan and affecting the us, coming back on to the canadian coast where you haven't got a river and or we have gotten a fairly normal system on its way and it'll bring bit more snow and a bit of rain. probably on thursday, again over the top of the same sort of areas, but it will not stick with us. it will go further south and you end up by the time we get to the start of the weekend, ready with the rain in back into washington state. but the point of the river is when it starts, it goes into the same place and stays for a long time. sometimes it focuses in canada. sometimes it focuses in california. you seen that before, and you get similar results that 26 degrees that i was just showed you in hawaii that is warmer now than it was last year. all the info or the before that. so as

probably a consequence of the changing climate, the water is also getting warmer. you can evaporate more water into it, create the river, and you get results. hello. i can't very much indeed, rob mcafee, we there is up to speed some what's happening and what's behind that awful weather . let's take united see at columbia were residents of a small island that was devastated by a hurricane. a year ago. are still living in make shifts, hence president ivan duke. he had promised that infrastructure would be rebuilt within $100.00 days on the central ramp, yet he reports no from providence. here. normally robinson a year later feels much like the 1st stay after house was destroyed by hurricane i yoda if i have damage for my fatty and her family, remain in attent withholds. now letting the rain through memories of the devastation still hunter, looking as if he thought to saddle naca. if they have a harsh, i beg them to please help us. we need
