and 4 way formation men and women compete separately, but under the same flag. you know, i can't do a story about parachuting and not jump out of a plane as we climb up the teams mentally prepare for their job. i try to do the same then minutes later once the earth is just a blurb below, it's time to freefall. ah ah. this is al jazeera oh. had i won money in sight? this is a news our life from di hall coming up in the next 60 minutes, thousands of ukrainians. riley in the launch of city near aboard, a web, russian forces all amassing, carries conflicts in

a slow coven vaccine roll out. leaders from the african union meet to come up with a coordinated response rescue workers in morocco inch closer to saving a 5 year old boy trapped in a well for days. and we're in the canadian camp to where hundreds of truckers have been blocking the roads over vaccine mandates. and in school we've already seen champions crowned at the bay during the winter olympics. the 1st gold medal going to norway in cross county will have action from the games later on in the out. ah, hello and welcome to the program. we begin this news out in ukraine and the city which could be the fast in line for invasion by russian troops. caucasian hosted a so called solidarity, marched by thousands of ukrainians. they march through the city center to

demonstrate what they called patriotic spirits. and they edge, the easing of tensions, is a 125000 russian troops wait near the border. the kremlin denies the launch army is about to invade as go straight to telstra for his life for us in concave talk through what's happening there. charles? hi. yes, it was, i suppose, a couple of hours ago. now's, let's say to 3000 people came and march, as you say, in a show of unity against what they describe as russian expansionism and russian aggression and interesting mix of people. people for various different political parties and activism groups and i mix voices as well. i mean, the underlying opinion is one of concern. as you mention, this city is a huge significance because it is so close to the russian border is only about an

hour away to the russian border. and as we've been reporting the reports of tens of thousands of russian troops just across that border concave itself used to be the capital city. what was then the socialist republic, ukraine jury soviet science of 1919 to 1934. it's a huge significance in terms of culture and the economy and industry. and so you can imagine the kind of disparage of the people here very concerned. one person we spoke to said that he didn't believe what made boots in was saying he didn't believe that russia had no intention of inviting. and he said he personally was ready. he said, we look forward to seeing, you know, this gentleman said that it's a considerable time in ukrainian armed forces. other people a lot more passive in their opinions as well. saying that one man said that because

he had relations family members living in russia. he did not want to pick up arms if necessary to russians because of, you know, his personal connections with the country. and on that note, it's really important to recognize that the situation is usually complicated here. russia has a lot of residents with a lot of people who in terms of culture, in terms of language. and we often make the mistake of drawing a rather black and white dividing line. because as i say, there are a lot of sympathetic people to russia living here. but yes, it was certainly amongst the participants in this rally. very much a show of unity and a single voice, if you like that, you know, they will not stand to as a say, what they describe as russian aggression. and charles, i believe, up to half a 1000000 people have been displaced from don't yet get new home screens and they've ended up settle settling in the city of khaki where you are,

what impact has had on the city? what is very difficult to tell really, i mean if you look around, the city seems to be functioning as normal. the situation is calm here, but yes, i mean in total do you it and says is at least 1500000 people that have been displaced from both sides of the contact line. including on the separatist control side, up to 50000 homes, destroyed hundreds if not thousands of businesses destroyed or gone bankrupt or have been abandoned. and we've just spent a week on the separatist control side, and it is a dismal state of affairs over the people that feel increasingly isolated. cuts off from the rest of the world between 2 opposing forces. certainly here in concave sings are a little bit more up beach. i mean, you have is

a functioning economy, not the case across the contact line in the separate is controlled areas. but of course, if there was to be some sort of renew conflict in a big push by the russians, and let's not forget that moscow has repeatedly said that it has no intention of doing that. but if there was to be a push, then certainly according to the un, it puts many more lives at risk and, you know, a huge potential further displacement of people. so, you know, there are some very real phase about the, the real facts on the ground and this window for a diplomatic solution. get smaller blenny, thanks for that. tell strafford their 1st noise in khaki. summit of african union leaders is currently on the way in ethiopia. when the series of managing keys on the corona virus pandemic, at the top of the agenda,

the 55 member countries have been warned that several regions are facing serious threats to peace and security as go straight to. mm hm. and a doe who is in addis ababa for us now and that there been no shortage of serious issues to get through mohammed and talk through what's happened there today. while the deliberations here of the african union summer. tough, centered on mainly coups in africa, particularly in west africa. covet lankton vaccinations as well as conflict. how to bring the nearest conflicts in the continent on and, and particularly here in, if you appear where these origin on, in the to gray region off north. and if you're peer, now these are the issue of clues where we have a resurgence of cause of the time. many thought that the continent had fully

embrace democracy. but that seems not to be the case as we've seen people jubilee eating and celebrating the forceful takeover of power by soldiers in their country . now joining me to discuss all this is dr. sullivan darrel saw he is the director of armani africa upon african thinktank and also an african affairs analyst. doctor solomon, what is happening? you know, we thought africa had fully embraced democracy. why all the schools and at this point in time, thanks very much for having me. mm hm. and her, indeed her, there were moments during the course of the past 3 decades when we felt that the democratization process on the continent may be on a pass of not being reversed. but what we have witnessed over the course of the past several years is the opposite of the those expectations. we have witnessed a regression of the democratic edition process on the continent or increasing

number of african governments failing to leave up to the democratic us expectations of their people. we have witnessed increasing levels of deterioration and ultimate breakdown of state society relationship. the faith and trust of people in government has been falling apart. so you have a combination of factors now, playing into what we are witnessing are those play sickly, a breakdown of the social contract, or what can the african union do in the past? the only thing they've done is suspend. and those countries where the crews take place from the membership of love, a canadian, now they're talking about cruise, what can they do? so, and obviously a call can not be an answer for the various political and socio economic issues facing those countries that are experiencing the course and but at the same

type responding to course only through a templated sanction measure can either be an answer to the challenge so we need actually tori, think how we deal with the factors that precipitate course. and also our response to cause has to be one that actually chains the pattern or the psych if you like. otherwise you impulse sanction. you go back to a very ticking box approach to democratic process, very procedural approach that doesn't at all when the desert walked so far, actually then uppercase, also lagging behind in the covet vaccination exercise. only 11 percent of the population of africa fully vaccinated. some countries are saying they don't have the money to take the vaccines that were donated by international organizations and donor countries to the people. and is that a good excuse, in your opinion?

i think i, i seriously doubt the varsity that, that the main reason, honestly speaking, i think the main factor has to do with the nature of the international system and how it is operating at this moment in time for many people across the world, the way the vaccine manufacturing and distribution is happening not on the basis of recognition that this is a truly global crisis. that requires a global response that enables everybody to route to be protected and to have access to the vaccine. that's not how the international community either responding . what this means is basically, of course, there is a failure on the part of africa. africa should have not waited until this crisis hits to realize that hell is, is critical and needs to be invested in including in manufacturing medicines. thank you very much. dr. solomon darrel saw director of money, africa upon african thinktank talking to us there at the headquarters of the

african union where that the fish summit is going on. thank you. many. thanks for that. mm hm. and and are there for us in addis ababa? plenty more hands on the knees, our including ah, devastation in bolivia, landslides and floods wipe out entire neighborhoods. britain's crumbling coastline because some areas be saved while others are surrendered to the sea and in sports around. mess for rinaldo, as majesty. you know, i said a dumped out of the ethnic ah, let's go to morocco now where people have been praying for the safe recovery of little boy who's been trapped down

a well for at least 5 days. now. we're looking at live pictures from bare where a team has been digging out to parts of a hillside. it's been a delicate, it's an extremely dangerous operation to reach the little boy. he's been named as 5 year old ryan. he's been tramped down there since tuesday. cruise say, and they're apparently now less than one meter away from him. catch a lopez heard a young has some of the background with this mission to see before you will boy has group morocco for days. raeann fell to the bottom of the well well playing outside on tuesday. he's been trapped ever since. hours and to saturdays rescue operation. a video appears to show the boy taking food and water from a tube supplied by emergency cruise. and through another tube, they sent him oxygen. amid the chaos, the boy's father stands nearby, day and night,

waiting desperately for updates. and the secure will know people who love us or hear supporting us, they want to save my son and rescue him. the base of the well, this too narrow for emergency crews to go down and reach the boy. they've cut a hole into a hill that's next to the well hoping they can dig a horizontal tunnel to get to him. the hills have been turned into a construction site with hundreds of people surrounding the area, anxiously waiting for a young to be rescued. millions and morocco are watching the operation unfold. live on television, on social media. traction is also growing. this is mia grey, adams. we are here to show support for this child. we want him to be out safely, members of different tribes. i hear that because we want this boy rescued on a hot, foreign pain rescue worker. see they're getting closer to the boy. but there's a dangerous risk of a landslide. a helicopter is standing by to take reagan to hospital and

across morocco and the world. people are also waiting and hoping he'll be saved. cards yellow piece of again al jazeera. well, al jazeera, our back correspondent, l l. a blog is there, he's been following the rescue effort. an immediate and half of the digging operation is still ongoing. a little while ago, one of the rescue members came out of the tunnel and was very tied. but i managed to talk to him and asked him how many meters were left to reach ryan, and he told me it was one and a half meet his exactly. he said there are some difficulties and there was a rock that is hindered the manual digging. now they're doing horizontal digging and this has been going on now to 24 hours. people from different parts of morocco here, waiting for the happy news that re on has been rescued and is saved. here we have well equipped ambulances with doctors to take ryan to hospital. we also have helicopters to help transport on to hospital to be given help and support. the most

important challenges, the fragile soil that has led to little slides. and this is hinted the digging operation, but people are here to show solidarity with ron and his family. or mohammed yes, and l o r b is the president of the chef shawanda association of caving and mountain activities. he spoke to us on the phone and explain why this rescue operation has been so difficult. we tried to go through the same well, but it wasn't possible because it's very, very narrow. they opted to, to dig out another like canyon. it's exactly canyon. so the, it's not stable. they found, you know, it's, it's very hard so they need to protect the body to protect the, the rescue 3 or, you know, the members down by can,

i guess the find that is the most important. you know, it's very hot. authorities doing a very good job decide, you know, try and re randy thinking because it's not. it's not easy. oh, you know too much. a lot of people to manage the risk you are the same time, but they are doing very, very, very, very well. the rescue operation is grip the our world come all santa maria has been looking at the reaction on social media. the hash tag is save rayon, but it is obviously more prevalent in arabic, in morocco, a small amount there. but i would say, actually a lot more over in the ravine peninsula, particularly in saudi arabia, where there are a lot of twitter uses there. i wanted to show you this morocco world news, the front page of morocco, world news dot com. obviously the top story, celebrities embassies express sympathy with little ryan,

but also 123 of the 5 top stories are all about ryan. it's a huge story. obviously in morocco with people, absolutely glued to the television screens and there're their phones. morocco will news also put this out on instagram. i thought this is actually quite helpful. this isn't the, the news you can use category showing how this rescue operation is going to look. there's round on the bottom and you see there, if i, to circle at how the well narrows down to just 20 centimeters at the bottom. and then if i get rid of that, you say the 150 meters that have had to dig in and down to get to where ryan is. and now hopefully getting to the end of that's official social media channels. i have been shaming and is all, this is just one example from the u. s. embassy morocco. in arabic, they're giving their best wishes to ryan and those who are rescuing him. and then i've seen a lot on twitter. football is actually algerian football stars, including this former football andy de la, who has oh,

it's not china there. he goes, see, says infringing for severe liberty high on we must save a little ryan art work like this is actually been really prevalent. so just selected a couple more here for you there. this one's quite nice on the left. see just down the bottom. it's got the world underway on and that's what it says in arabic. it's like the whole world is down there with him. and this picture on the right, what we are all hoping for the united states is waving sanctions on iran, civil civilian nuclear program, as talks to save the 2015 agreement, reached a critical stage. donald trump ended the waiver 2 years ago when he was president. ron says it was guarantees from washington for the revival of the agreement that americans must show their goodwill in action. and our view, this means tangible things happening on the ground. lifting part of the sanctions in a real and objective manner could be interpreted as the good will the americans talk

about as guys who were all set out who is live in teheran for us. what is the reaction been from their well, the 1st reaction came from the random for the ministry, the random foreign minister made up to let y'all have said that this partial removal of the sanctions is interpreted into around the good intention. however, that is not sufficient. and that the more tangible actions need to happen on the ground. so your anyone starting from the nuclear talks on had been demanding for the immediate remove all the factions regarding the nuclear file. and also they have asked for the reputation and the guarantees. so by the way, if occasions iranians are asking the removal of the sanctions, not to be just on the, on the paper, but they want to see the practical impact on the ground as well. and also they are saying that in case of any of the old americans need to give you run

a guaranteed that a deal is going to go beyond by the administration. but so far, americans have said that considering the american political system, it is impossible to make a binding agreement for the next administration. so on the other hand, another important reaction came from ca, came from a very powerful institution in iran, supreme national security council. the secretary of this institution said that you are legal right, to continue research and development and to maintain is peaceful nuclear capabilities and achievements will not be reflected by any agreements. so the expert here said that by biz alisha county who is very much close to the supreme and that in iran as well, is sending a clear message to their americans and saying that if the deal is not going to be binding for the americans, don is not going to be binding for the iranian site as well, and later he to read it again. and it says that show of the least show of lifting

sanctions is not considered as constructive. you don't want real effect. you and we're bible economists benefits. so we can see that there is a difference in total from the different iranian institutions here. while the foreign ministry is cautiously welcoming this action from the u. s. a, the national security council is kind of more, more, more skeptical, and it's unclear whether it is about a different approach from the different iranian institutions, or it is a deliberate negotiating strategy from the iranian side. thank you for that. russell set up for us into ron washington has imposed round after round of sanctions on iran since 1979. it's oil and banking sectors receive sanctions relief from the u. s. e in the us back in 2015 and exchange for temporary limits on its nuclear program. the trump administration then re imposed all us sanctions and

added new ones on the a maximum prussia campaign. now the state department says it's waiving sessions sanctions to allow all the countries to help around address safety risks at its nuclear sites and carry out non proliferation work. but says it should not be considered sanctions relief must get more or less. we can speak to mark fitzpatrick, who is associate fellow at the international institute was teaching studies he previously served as us deputy assistant secretary of state. he joins us from washington, d. c. thank you for your time, sir. especially when they refer to iran, civil civilian nuclear program. what exactly do we mean and do you think this is a good move by the us? sure, iran has a civilian nuclear program that is dedicated to producing nuclear power and for producing medical i said folks, this is totally separate from it's

a nuclear weapons development program. and the idea is to make sure that these programs are safe and that they will not be used for weapons purposes to do that for. and companies foreign governments need to cooperate with iran, but the u. s. sanctions prohibited that cooperation. now today, yes, state department has government has lifted those sanctions, allowing cooperation to make iran cylinder their program shaffer and reparation. and so do you think this is a good move by the us? oh, oh, absolutely. the sanction should never have been re imposed 2 years ago to begin with. they were, they were done for political reasons, by person in tampa, and finally by the ministration is doing the right thing to remove. how do you gauge around the reaction to the lifting of the waiver?

well, i think you, ron correctly realizes that this is not a signal that the united states is about to lift a lot of other sanctions and restore the j. c p. away. but i think some in iran do see that the united states is trying to create more of a positive atmosphere. the timing of this move is interesting. this should have been done any time in the past year. it was done this time because the negotiations are drawing to a close and the bite and ministration is what it can to, to provide a little bit of positive momentum. i hope the ron sees that could we see iran and the us in the same room when it comes to these negotiations. where, where do you see these talks heading next? well, it would certainly be helpful if the united states and iran were in the same room

this a lot of details that are much easier discuss directly rather than indirectly but, but you know, the way the talks are structured right now with this indirect meeting, that's not a m at a maps to getting things done. the real impediment is iran continued insistence on removing all sanctions. i'm getting guarantees central to be in, in the future. and they're just asking for things that cannot do. i'm sure that some in the iranian government know this, the previous government do that, but the current hardly government has been making demands that make it very hard to reach it. the americans have indicated that they have a deadline or end of february deadline where they say the nuclear deal will not be workable off to that date. why do you think the indicating such urgency will have any effect on iran? well i think it's a, it's a realistic position that because the g p o,

a had time lines that are expiring rather soon the benefits of the j. c p. away will only be there. the main benefits for a little while longer and as time elapses and that deal is not restored, those benefits disappear. that's, that's the main logic from united states is also trying to put some pressure on iran to get things done. you know, this deal should have been wrapped up last spring, last june. iran has been stalling, and this is an effort to try to spur iran into actually ceasing today and making like a mall. fitzpatrick, thank you for your time. associate fellow at the international institute for strategic studies. speaking to a staff in washington. thank you. talk to you. thank you. phil ahead own algae. there we go to canada where a massive protest by truckers in the heart of the countries capital is dividing

opinion taking on crypto currency, how governance around the well the launching that own food is a digital payment. and it supports a big announcement of the beijing olympics from one of the wells biggest winters, sports dog level, the details coming like ah let's go with your weather report for the middle east and africa. hello veronica, to see you. we've got a northerly winds flowing down through the goal, so i think that's going to swirl around the sand and dust will go on for a closer look right here. and i think worst case scenario, we'll look for those winds to gus to about 50 kilometers per hour in this region. up to i've got to stand some snow showers, cutting across cobble with a hive to degrees. some instability for northern areas of pakistan, but in the south, correct. she's got

a high of 30 degrees with full on sunshine. things are quiet for the eastern med right now. say for a few showers in the la vance around b roots with a high 15 degrees and same goes for turkey's ne black c regions and showers and snow over the higher grounds. but most of the action contained toward southern africa. we've got an incoming tropical cyclone making land faults where that east coast madagascar, just south of the capital. we know this one's going to pack a punch at one point. it was the equivalent of a category for hurricane. and in the days to come, we can expect rainfall amounts of about half a meter. so through the weekend it's gonna cut rate across the country. but let me press play. we'll see where this goes. look like it's dipping to the south. avoiding ducking and dodging madagascar and south africa, that's it. policies and the take to ships to democracies, activists to corporations, control of the message is crucial. oil companies to become very good at recognizing

ways for phrase what they want him to hear. we care about the environment you do to, you should buy our oil, be it for public opinion or profit. once you make people afraid, you can use that to justify stripping away basic civil liberties. listening post examined the vested interest behind the content. you can see on our jazeera news, [000:00:00;00] ah ah

ah, ah ah ah, welcome back, watching out there are mind if i top stories this hour. ukrainians have marched in concave, the city, which could be 1st in line for invasion by russian armed forces. demonstrators condemned what they called russian aggression. the criminal denies 125000 russian troops waiting near the border to attack cruise and the panoramic. i'm hoping the agenda of a 2 day meeting of african union leaders meeting and ethiopia capitol of above the 55 member countries have been warned. several regions of facing serious threats to

peace and security. we're looking at live pictures from rock morocco or rescue work has a less than a meter away from a boy trapped in a deep. well, a team has been digging out part of a hillside to reach the boy 5 year old ryan, who's been stuck down the well since tuesday. the corona virus pandemic close schools all over latin america with home doris, particularly aud hit. now as manual report reports, extreme poverty limits have internet access and classrooms badly needing were path . falling back to back hurricanes will add up to a crisis. did a lot of this, the struggling to keep her children focused on school assignments. she says it's hard enough being a mother of 3, but providing her kids with a decent education in honduras, one of the poorest countries in latin america is

a daunting challenge. i thought i had part of the family. everything here depends on parents lessons, that schools are very bad. we have to contribute with everything. and many parents can't. we don't have the money to buy the things the teachers say they need. even before the pandemic, the education system in honduras was already indicate. but the death blow came in the form of 2 back to back hurricanes, which damaged and destroyed dozens of schools across the northern part of the country in 2020. despite ongoing rebuilding efforts more than a year on many or still wondering when there will be schools for students to return to la la la la for good. but many schools here were destroyed even though they say in person classes will start soon. i don't think they will because all the buildings here are still destroyed. students are due back very soon at this small public school in chile gone, one of the poorest suburbs of some pedro sula. but the director says

a complete lack of support from the government has slowed their preparations. someone do a new as a whole year, and i feel ashamed of the handling of the pandemic. how the education system has been deficient. and i dare to say that many teachers have been the ones who rescued education by going the extra mile teachers directors and parents have been attentive to the work that's been assigned. another major obstacle to learning is a lack of internet access. it's estimated that less than 13 percent of households in honduras have access to a computer and internet and last year, as schools remain closed due to pandemic restrictions. as many as 600000 students abandoned the education system altogether. according to statistics from the world bank, the coven 19 pandemic has said back educational efforts in honduras by almost half a decade, and issue the newly elected president of honduras seal motto, castle has promised to make

a top priority. manuel buffalo al jazeera san pedro sula honduras police in canada's capsule, a vowing to crack down on wall thank holding increasingly dangerous protests by hundreds of trunk drivers, roads. and also where i have been quit blocks for more than a week. the precious began in opposition to canada's requirement that any truck has crossing the us border must be vaccinated against current of ours. anger has since broaden into general frustration with pandemic restrictions. a scale to shampoo tansy his life for us and also where she had more protest. i believe this weekend described to us what's been going on well the police is about a, a hauled poor of about 250 truckers who protested as human camp down in this central downtown for the ultra outside the parliament building. you can hear the trucks. you can see the trucks or is it agree with now that the trucks

theoretically only holds between 11 and they'll be 930 and 11 of evening because the residence of incomplete items, like the company really, really are definitely making that whole bug that voices heard least the trucks heard, it's don't be all just being a, a, a protest against cross border vaccine mandates. but truck is, as we've seen in protests around the world, i've been able to talk about general armies about pandemic restrictions. little thing about that, that general sense of pandemic fatigue. it's true, but this tone boy was organized by elements from the stream. right? worrying of canadian politics. but i'll zip the part just to shoot around the world about all the ease about how the government around the world have been dealing with the pandemic, crosses the political spectrum. and it will be interesting to see watson ranger people we see coming out today and, and support who was,

frederick wrote him of the possibility of counter protests to we should be clear, the polls or other equivocal, but your boss draws his canadians already vaccinated. and this isn't necessarily an anti virus produce, it's nancy mandate, protest repair. but a majority of agents believe and public health that is believe in the mandates. but when we also see in the pose is unprecedented levels of just what, what, how the political establishment like federal ad, provincially, of handle the pandemic. it's about something that they might have all the origins of this protest may have been vested. i can tap into, gonna fall to load that you that speak to one of the protest as joke is here, as a teacher. in fact, joke, why are you here today? i'm here for my kids, kids, i work with my family. but what, what is the issue here? this brought you out. what are you trying to achieve? well, we're here because we want freedom. we want, we want to live free,

free of mandates. free of the tyranny, which is oppressive power right now, which the government is exercising. overall canadians were done. we tried your way . let's try ours cheap. the point was, you understand the argument though the reason my mandates when necessary is because the unvaccinated, a more likely to have severe illness would be hospitalized if the hospital so over flying with on vaccine patients. the entire health care system breaks down. no one gets health guy, then you understand them. could you understand that you've done a really good job summarizing the mainstream news media narrative of this pandemic? as i said earlier, i'm here for the kids that i work with. i'm a school teacher and i'm an artist. i'm here for them. young people, the overwhelming majority of young people do not suffer serious consequences from this virus. and that's why i'm here today, but you'll vax yourself, you haven't. luckily i have received 2 doses of vaccine against my will,

my employer, the school board, i will not name other respect, forced me to become vaccinated and i did the time. i believed it to be an altruistic act. won't take for you and the other protest is to leave. do you think not the decision is not up to me. i'm just, you're exercising my democratic right. as a canadian drop, thank you so much. so that is the big question. how will this end? because there's a range of demands. one of them is to remove all vaccine mandates in canada and it goes out by federal and actually most of the mandates are provincial. but this is a center point and i protest against the mandates some of these protest to say they won't leave until the government is overthrown, which is rather unlikely given to recently been been reelected and walk, the protest is do up as a secret weapon is of course that trucks we've come a protest in the encounter before. we've seen the ruthlessness with,

with which the canadian authorities ruefully remove protests is on the environment and pipelines or indigenous issues. but these are trucks very little to move them very difficult to see how this is going to be resolved in the drop down money. thanks for that. cl burton see that for us live in a very noisy, also while tens of thousands of families in bolivia. oh, picking up the pieces after devastating floods and landslides, more torrential rain for cost in the past, which is $1.00 of the worst hit areas. and 10 monica reports. the. these are the remains of neighborhood in the bolivian city of la palm, devastated by heavy rain that brought floods and landslides. local people are taking stock of the damage. this woman and her family lost their home after was submerged by mud. and piano jo,

you'll be the where to go. maria of the day before yesterday, rains were heavy and the water came down like a river with great force coming from everywhere. because scared because we haven't been able to be for 2 nights last night at all terrain. and we stayed up until 1 in the morning watching over the house. the 10s of thousands of people have lost homes and property. many having slept for several nights as dark clouds overhead race fears that more rain could come at any time. saving and let me copy all the weight of the mud was coming into my yard. since the mud comes from above, it comes down with strength. and when it rains, it becomes worse. we practically don't sleep anymore. some local authorities are clearing debris, some houses are beyond salvaging and will have to be torn down. many are blaming the heavy rainfall on a weather phenomenon linked to extreme weather events. it can, if the video is done in the port ill, phenomenal,
