content faces a wave of military cruise civil conflicts and the pandemic. he commission cherry the 55 number blockers denounced a worrying resurgence of military takeovers with 6 crews or attempted crews. and just the past 18 months. the union is also under pressure to push for cease fire in its host country. ethiopia. thousands of people have died and hundreds of thousands are on the brink of starvation tissue. it's conflict with the tech ry people's liberation front. but ethiopia is prime minister, has rejected outside interference. philip is challenge was in 3rd, not in nature, and their mother of maintaining law and order. but the resolution of o in sudden alamitos was made exceedingly difficult by the rule blades. by external actors, we shall leave no stone unturned in our search for peace in our country. consistent

without a commitment to peace, the peaceful, volition of conflict with the african indians efforts to combat covered 19 is also very important. many members, states are facing logistical challenges, rolling out vaccines, and only 11 percent of the continents population is fully inoculated. well, if you have his abbey, i'm as it used the summit to appeal for the african union to be granted a permanent seat un security council. and the palestinian national authorities prime minister demanded that the a you withdraw israel's observer status. israel should never be rewarded for its volition. and for the apartheid regime, it does impose on that. but as the new people, as an entity, israel has progressed from its threes. the extremism to militarism docomo colonial expansion. this must stop out there is mohammed at o as in addis apa and has more now on the summit. all these concerns about the

number of coups these continent has had before the past. at one of the have years. 6 of them in total for them in west africa, which has traditionally been known as the cool belt of african then they are the eas. the shortfalls on covet vaccinations in the continent. only 11 percent of the continents of people have been fully vaccinated so far, and the ease a real need for a push on that. and now joining me to discuss all these are father is a former prime minister of the republic of kenya. i'm rayleigh, or dean gal who is also a hyphen presented if on infrastructure for the african union studying. are you seeing a resurgence of coups in africa and there seems to be a disconnect between the lead us and the people. what in your opinion is causing this resurgence of a cruise when people are thinking that africa was finally on the road to democracy?

well, it is a ugly averted, regrettable development. the continent that the democratization crosses that it is as started out in the early ninety's is a russian, some parts of a continent. a judge begin being, begin to see generals on the streets of taking over the governments of images of face. it's as to do either the luck tones of in limbo leadership to actually deliver to the people. and secondly, or also shows you the constitutions are to extend their, their town, and also the rain which elections no silver heads. the rigging of elections themselves. and is this the leaders?

no, not a willing to to, to perform according to the requirements of the people. i think this is local. what is her greenberg? this herb? new to cruise and there's also a real challenge with the covered mountain vaccinations in africa. only 11 percent, only 2 countries have managed to vaccinate a 70 percent off their people and that's c shells and malicious will, you know, have good, very tiny populations. what is, i mean? is there a remedy for this? and you, do you think africa could be able to m intensify its physician process? certainly is. i think her, this is an area where the us to be a bit of compulsion that the government has really to come out of a loan through ford and just a good foster people to go and goods vaccinated. because it is for the,

for their protection. for example, i saw a king of the government saying that if you don't have vaccination, you are not going to a good government services example. some people sing those unconstitutional and son, but i think if this has been done in order to serve life and served the people that the government is entitled to took all the measures necessary to ensure that people get vaccinated. oh, on the blocks most pressing challenges as responding to a series of military takeovers in the past 18 months. in miley anger of the government's failure to protect the people from armed grips, triggered a cool in august 2028 months later. the military seas power and chad after the president was killed on the battlefield. his son was quickly installed as leader in breach of the constitution. in september, a soldier trained by the french foreign legion lead occurred to depose guineas president alpha con day year off t one a disputed 3rd term. then in october,

top generals took control in sudan are pending the country's democratic transition, and prompting months of protests, and then just last month, soldiers and became faso detained president roc bluray, another qu, fuel my frustration over conflict with armed groups. so earlier i spoke to arrest his jayma when cha e form a vice chair of the african union commission. and he told me about this rising trend of coups in west africa. one, the gonna be able to see that the link between these rollbook under what is happening, but to get her in west africa. if you look at the 4 countries that i've experienced mid 30 geologist, m ali, oh, give me in the fossil under now. if the so there is also a link to what has happened big time a, particularly in i leave you with,

you know, with the removal of daffy. you add an indian which are insurgents move in, particularly i says, and under this i've also continued to move. so to what's the of the stimulus that the region and because of that the minnesota, particularly we just being put like the k. so look in the fashion, asked to confront this onslaught they did. they don't have enough equipment that they don't have enough support. but just because of both to be able to push back this insurgence. so that is to one aspect. the 2nd aspect, of course, on the population at large is, is a disenchanted with the governor's governors that's not delivered particularly of economy in the area of government in the market. us and the sort the minute that i've seen are a man but now for them to come in and, and,

and try to go with that population. i want to develop just following this, our a 2nd cycle and in 2 weeks is it not a gas scar? bringing strong winds and heavy rain. satellite imagery showed cycling, but sir, i making its way towards the country, winds up to 2 on record on which isn't our expected next. but say it's a very serious threat is likely to inflate widespread damage. that was not going to, some of our family members have already left for the shelter. if the weather ever get worse, we will leave. we live in a small wooden house which we have already reinforced with sandbags. but we still don't have confidence. so we prefer to leave to stay with relatives who live in a solid house with an ease our life from london wants to lead for you on the program. parents. and under us struggling with an education system driven far into decay. also looking at why hong kong is at risk of losing it, standing as

a global financial hub and in sport, chelsea survivor major scanner and the f a couple have the football action a bit later on. ah, now to morocco where a young boy who's been trapped in a deep well since tuesday has died, 5 year old ryan was taken out on a stretcher a short time ago and immediately put in a waiting ambulance and then take him to hospital. his death was confirmed just a little bit later on rescue teams dug out part of the hillside in a delicate, extremely dangerous operation. let's get the latest from hash mulberries been following these developments from darn really. this is an operation that captured the attention of or not as people and morocco, but all around the region if not the world. and of course,

people were hoping that he would be pulled to safety every been able to gauge her reaction to this well, a delicate operation. the treasure can to the story of rayon, who was trapped in the well. since tuesday, the reaction of shocked disbelief. people shattered when they heard the news that he passed to way because there was a defining moment when they saw what a stretcher taken to the ambit us. there was hope that maybe he would be rusito turned some news could emerge from one or the hospitals where he would be flown to be treated. but there was this official statement from the authorities. immer walkers saying that a ryan has died the worst this concern since the 2 days ago. because there was always this question about whether the free

body of ryan would be able to cope with the hot conditions in a well where they were always concerned about the oxygen level. whether he would be able to respond. and there was who was not, he was not really showing any signs that were encouraging or the earlier on or on thursday. the, the 1st images of him was showing a ian who was responsive of the hash tag, save ryan, which was which went viral in the out of world until just about a half an hour ago. i so 1st reactions from the other world families glue to tv stations watching the events unfolding saw the defining moment when ryan's father and mother came to the shaft. before we're having a look at the a child, they were happy and suddenly they said, you know what, this positive news coming out from the arab world, ryan could be saved and then minutes later it was the shocking tragedy that i

couldn't make it. i've been covering news in this part of the world for almost 25 years. i've never seen a story of a single innocent boy galvanizing the out of well the same with a story of i and did since since yesterday or the day before. every single family in the arab world, class, saudi arabia, united arab emirates, egypt, algeria, morocco, tin easier. the whole story was about a year and whether i will be able to survive this ordeal. fortunately, i am his normal and it was very unclear what his condition was. inside the well and, and perhaps it, the chances were and never particularly optimistic because he had been there for several nights and he may well have been injured. and is he getting some conflicting signals from the authorities there? what might the reaction be inside the country till the way in which this has been

handled? you will definitely see reports coming out starting from to morrow about about how this whole stir case was handled by the authorities. and there were, you will see investigations into what happened and how did he fall into the way it has been by different accounts and the people that we've been talking to an extremely delicate operation. this is a 5 years old boy. oh, falls 30 meters into a well with a tiny di meter. so the shock is massive. a day later, the managed to send that you with a camera attached to it and i and was the responsive in a way or another, this center or oxygen mask water and foot to him. but then there were growing concerns about whether way and will be able to survive. the 2nd biggest challenge

facing the authorities, they sent all the people, all the equipment. they had to dig a paddlers shaft to the well. go all the way down, move vertically and horizontally because each time there were dig in, there were 2 major concerns. rocks which were delaying the operation and the potential for land slides. and there were 2 or 3 land slides the way when they were digging. the final most delicate moment was about 5 you 5 hours ago when they were about one meter away from royer. this is when they decided to bring in sophisticated machines and a specialized team of topography as an experts, each 20 cent centimeters was taken. the authorities one hour to to reach. and the biggest concern was moving all the way vertically to words or the, the bottom of the well, a dig, a small hole, a give some space to the rescue was to go all the way to up upwards and bring i add to safety and then fly. him to our hospital and see whether there's any chance for

him to survive. fortunately, that or that didn't happen. so the operation itself was extremely delicate. you're right. the story started with a many young social media activists went to the mountainous area and started streaming their coverage of the story. and suddenly it captivated the attention of the oh, of the arab world. later, established media started to follow suit and cover of the story starting from the to model. you will, you, you will argue with the many questions being asked by the morocco about what happened exactly to ryan and more details about the circumstances of the rescue operation itself. the bottom line is there was massive hope that ryan would be able to make it would be able to survive, to send some positive signal to those people who were a were who were looking forward to see that happening. unfortunately, that didn't happen. it was shattering news for his father and his mother over the

last few days when people were asking the media was asking him, i asked mother, she was basically saying that my only hope and dream in this life i have 3 children . the youngest is ray and i just want to give him a hug, a big hug, and i want him to go back to school. he won't be able to see his friends anymore, a score. so this is going to be shattering tragic story for the moroccans and for millions of arabs who have been watching this story. a sad story indeed. thank you so much. ashley barbara in dan, thank you hash and i live on to some of a nice now and people below here and cleaning up after a series of devastating floods and land signs. tens of thousands of families and effect in the authorities of pricing for more down pause. the pass is one of the worst hit areas is anton monahan, reports ah, these are the remains of neighborhoods in the bolivian city of la pas. devastated

beyond salvaging and will have to be torn down. many are blaming the heavy rainfall on a weather phenomenon. linked to extreme weather events is convinced that video is done . most of them recorded from a movie lamina at the moment with suffering due to the la nina phenomenon. if you remember it's conditioning weather events and they're being characterized mainly by very short events with an extremely high intensity that almost doubles the rainfall that was recorded and other seasons. many parts of bolivia are on orange, alert, meaning more land slides and rains are expected in the days and weeks ahead. this is madeline al jazeera for his president pedro castillo has announced his 4th cabinet shake up in 7 months sack in the prime minister act, a valid pinto is removal. just 3 days archie was appointed, follows public outrage at allegations he abused his daughter and late wife philip into denies any claims of domestic violence. castillo did not give details about

back hurricanes of all increase the the, the crisis is manny rattler reports now from san pedro sula. load this to her is 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 a family. everything here depends on parents lessons, that schools are very bad. we have to contribute with everything, and many parents can't on. we don't have the money to buy the things that teachers say they need. i left her even before the pandemic. the education system in honduras was already in decay, me, 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 2021. despite ongoing rebuilding efforts more than

a year on many or still wondering when there will be schools for students to return to alamo lock aqua lap. okay. but how 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 shamella gone, one of the poorest suburbs of some federal sula, but the director says a complete lack of support from the government has slowed their preparations. among lorraina as the honduran. 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

ah hello there, it's a conflicted picture. weatherwise across europe. we've got cold wintery conditions . up in the north. the down in the south is still plenty of fine and dry weather to be found with long spells of sunshine. no, that is going to change. by the time we get into monday, you can see that wave of winter weather is going to work its way of a central areas towards the balcony and to that southeast corner. but let start in the north west. we've had a weather system that's blown across the north sea, bringing heavy rain to the low countries. we're still seeing some snow flurries and showers kick into northern areas of the u. k. but we think a lot of that wind to weather affecting the baltics as well as western parts of

russia with heavy snow for places like finland i'm. there's more of that to come. you can see behind me, low pressure strengthening, sweeping across iceland. so some heavy snow and rain, it's likely to edge into norway by tuesday. but further south of this, it's a much finer and dryer picture, with lots of sunshine across the iberian peninsula, or a few showers in the south. and it's looking rather fine and dry for much of italy, but have a look on tuesday. we'll also see a wintery mix across the balcony. that sure weather update. ah, the stories of life and inspiration a series of short documentaries from around the world that celebrate the human spirit against the odds. a

al jazeera select change makers. people have come to expect a lot from al jazeera over the years. it's 3rd reporting, the commitment to under reported places, the commitment to the human story. but it's also the idea of challenging those empower. if a politician comes on this channel, they will be challenged and that's what people expect to us. they want the questions answered. that is what we've always done. that's what we will continue today. oh, i

come back and look at 9 stories now. senior members of the us military arrived in poland as nato bolstered its presence in response to russia's military build up on the border with ukraine. lots of thousands of ukrainians marched through car key, the city that could be the 1st in russia, firing line, condemning what they call russian aggression heads of state and meeting. and if you appear at the african union summit with the recent wave of military coups and civil conflicts, as well as the pandemic topping the agenda, and a young boys been trapped in a deep well in morocco. and tuesday has died. 5 year old rayon was taken out on a stretcher an hour ago and immediately put in a waiting ambulance. his death was later confirmed by the king. iran is saying the us, the decision to restore sanctions waivers on to ron is not enough. and washington must provide guarantees in order to revive the 2015 nuclear deal. while she's in

reimpose, the wave is on friday, as talks on saving the agreement and to the final stretch in vienna that are on foreign minister says tech needs more assurances. both 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 all i so sorry, that has reaction. now from the iranian capital is quite significant because this is maybe the 1st time doing the binding solution that the practical action is being taken. iranian had some conditions to take forward the talks and they were asking the immediate removal of the sanctions and all the sanctions regarding the nuclear nuclear file. and they were asking for the what is the cations and the

guarantees. but what if occasion they are seeing that not on the, on the paper, but you run needs to see the practical actions taken by do you see that the sanctions are removed and also they're asking for the guarantees that in case of any nuclear deal, this is going to go beyond bite and administration and is going to be binding for the next president of the usa. however, the us, it says that it is almost impossible regarding the american political system. but when it comes to the where if occasions the say that they can give some of the guarantees. so in this sense, the partial removal of the sanctions from the u. s. a is quite a practical to tap and it is welcomed in, in, in, in the u. s. a store for that hasn't been direct was between the iranians and americans and the, for the minister of iran. apply, you know, said that if the practical actions are taken down been might be a direct talks between the 2 parties. and this step is

a kind of practical action that cooled a paved way for data toes between americans and iranians. now, hong kong leadership is under pressure to changes. there are tolerance approach to the panoramic con class today recorded more than 350 new infections, which is the highest level since the pandemic began. but economists, a warning that failing to relax restrictions could jeopardize the territory status as a global financial hub. credit reports now from hong kong. hong kong is known as asia is world city that economists a warning that could soon change the territory as keeping in line with a 0 coven policy adopted by mainland china. locked downs and mass testing are common place and social distancing. restrictions have been extended, at least until mid february. people have been suffering a lot in the past 2 years and i doubt whether people can stand another 23 years in the current state. so, so to me this is definitely not ideal. according to

a report by the european chamber of commerce, hong kong, international isolation could extend into 2024 or until mainland china reopens to the world. experts say, hong kong reputation could suffer long lasting damage given dr. hong kong is the financial hub, is the headquarters for many multinational firms in the region? ah, and therefore many experts will want to come to hong kong when you get this coverage by this policy that is going to make hong kong last international. hong kong is one of the few places in the world, still maintaining its no tolerance approach to coven and sticking to mainland china's policy. but as a 5th wave of infections swayed through the community, followed by another round of restrictions, people here are increasingly questioning whether the strategy is sustainable or not . a scandal over birthday party, attended by government officials, has done little to boost trust. on monday, hong kong home affairs,

chief casper choice stepped down after making he behaved inappropriately by attending the gathering last month. the government is also under pressure to boost vaccination rights among the elderly, currently at just over 30 percent, with our micron infections expected to serge following the lunar new year. festive period. getting infections to 0 is looking increasingly out of reach brit clinic. al jazeera hong kong. meanwhile, in mainland china, the have been another $45.00 cove infections reported in 24 hours linked to the beijing winter olympics. but to organize is saying everything is under control with cases confined within a closed loop. strict rules of being enforced, including daily testing for the thousands of participants. games are being held under strict corona virus roles with athletes, staff and the press, completely separated from the wider population. more than 350 people into the games of tested positive since arrivals began in late january. turkeys president is the

latest leader to test positive for the army. kron. variance of covered or ship type are due on announced his diagnosis on twitter, but says he has miles. symptoms are due on is triple jabbed. he was abroad this week and here of where he met with the ukrainian president vladimir zalinski on thursday. we go to canada now because that police derivation to crack down on what they're calling and increasingly dangerous protests by hundreds of truck drivers, roads in our to our been gridlocked for more than a week with truckers blaring their horns. day and night protest started in opposition to candidates requirements that any truck is crossing its order with the u. s. have to be vaccinated. the demonstration has, has broaden those who express general frustration at pandemic restrictions. chopper tansy has more now from the rally in ottawa. it's interesting that the police to say, oh, these are getting more and more dangerous. you can see that there's been a real efforts by the organize. it's really make the see it was and dangerous as

opposed to in fact, even so there was a family theme day who just totally got bouncy, castle filled with children. they're obviously very well aware of the headlines are last weekend where you know that besides not see so stickers. and they were people being very proud to say the least of the reports of people being victimized wearing masks. and so they really have to go by way to remove any signs that look like extreme right wing, and it's all about peace and love and freedom. and so there is a core off for testers around george and 15th sort of been camped out here in that ridge with them that they were nice by the stream right wing yet. but the stream right wing of canadian politics. but as often the case as you see it around the world, verify the other issues that come bubbling to the surface. don't you have a protest about the pandemic? so yes and how that extreme right wing element, but you also have thousands of other people who are, you know,

usual broad spectrum provides of axes and religious on the med list. 2 days left and right. you are concerned about the civil liberties implications of mandates. what does that mean for the future or precedent give wired about the power pharmaceutical companies and so on. also support for this, for this encounter. and that's going to be interesting to see because the early this week as it was around 30 percent in support. but as this, as a nuisance fact, to continue off having all the, the roads blocked in central to a and then the whole bearing and so on continues as evidence that they are losing some, some level of public support here from that 30 percent. hi. india's daily covet numbers remain high with more than a 1000 new desk forced it only a wrong, but it's not stopped in do devote. he is in northern india from mocking the spring festival present on child me. day is celebrated by worship is taking

a dip in the confluence of the ganges, yamuna, and sorrows, whitey, rivers, to mark the onset of the spring season. festival, glorifies the goddess ours. what you do got us of knowledge and learning artists and students of special pres on this day. what stain india because it's been important developments in the south of the country. muslim girls at several government run high schools in karnataka state are fighting to be allowed to wear their had jobs. this after the state government banned them, saying close that in their words, disturb equality, integrity in public law and order should not be worn. was video posted on social media showing several female students protesting outside one of the schools chanting that they want to have an education a say the band violates their right to practice religion guaranteed under the indian constitution. let's discuss this more with debbie sean and his

a professor of international relation to the university of westminster. here in london, the treatment of muslims in india on the b j. p. leadership is really critical to this story. but can you 1st explain to us how and why goals in the southern state of karnataka a not being allowed into their classrooms? again, thanks for having me here. what is happening and not good, some private as well, of government institution, a thing that goes away, he job will not be allowed to come into the classroom. now if you go into the indian constitution law, that's possibly going to be illegal and that justifying it by saying that is a disturbing social order, public order. but even if a disturbing social is not good, go for waiting he job. that's because if you the prohibiting them from coming in and when the protesting what we have is a very dangerous phenomena, even worse than what government is doing. and be institution that being the phenomena of right. doing hindu boys and now goeth or 3rd joining in by reading

saffron scar than shoals. i think that if muslim growth are loud, where he job, they should be allowed to wit saffron clothing. now the problem of course, is no one associates, hindu, them in the religion with saffron charles scar. that was never a part of his condition. what essentially happening and not good, the government that's a be give to government is using deliberately provocative mor good, demonized muslims to marginalize muslim growth and also create a greater divide with him to muslim. right now, this is taking place in the south as a country, as it goes, being denied entry into the classrooms. meanwhile, and recent days been indian supreme court has said that it will investigate remarks made by hindu nationalist leaders in the northern state of a tar cons. calling for violence against the muslim minority. now what does this, what does this reveal?

what about the sort of general sentiment towards muslims in the country? again, what it reveals is that these are not one off incident. this is not local at peculiarity, right? so what's happening cannot go what's happening in daily, what's happening in different parts of india. what's happening to something in common to something in common is essentially the fault of b, j. b, to convert india from a secular country into a hindu nationalist country. so the incident, you're referring to get to heard, what essentially hindu nationalist leaders and the, the religious leaders who have our for open genocide against on muslims. and i think open genocide against all muslims in any decent country that will record essentially hate speak and they will be behind a bars. some of their might be put behind bar only after lot of protest and the supreme court has not intervene. a going back to you and cannot go, is possible get to know what the high court they're going to listen to. the scale from a muslim goeth about waiting a p job. the point is, even if the court then say that goes should be allowed to where he job once in the way in which the fee command and seek boys are allowed to wear turbans. and that's

part and parcel of at the indian law if even if they allow muslim with it goes to where he job. the divisiveness that they have created, essentially between hindu than most students, particularly young hinder woodson center and with students and the young, indolent muslims is not going to be hidden away through them. that spark and part of that dangerous phenomenon. b, as in india, which is moving towards not getting into national but a fascist form of national window. right to the worrying thing is not just that you have violent mom attacks or instances where girls are being banned from, from wearing her job going to classroom to. but it's also the fact that this is being this persecution of minorities, muslims and christians for that matter is being encouraged and incited by the country's leaders. where is this going to lead? i mean that people say that sometimes provocative, not provocative, but we have, this is the what be

a good missing indicative the 1930 the germany is not yet fashion, but it's boring towards that. and why do i call it? i call it because you have religious minority that you pointed out. not mostly, but also christians, but also secularists and companies. all of them are targeted by the government and the mugs. and the way in which they do is they pick up certainly shoot. they make a big control with you around it, and then call anyone who opposes b. p of anti national because what you're witnessing in india is some sort of one leader, one nation, widely de, one party, one nation kind of ideology. so again, by creating one more confusion within india, one were divided it within india, there essentially creating ecosystem where in dollars towards muslims congress, christians and he will secular will become normalized. and what we have is already divided in the are divided into which only benefits one particular actor and that we can do national, under mary moore, the professor deviation. and thank you very much for joining us

now. the french government is launching a new body colfey forum of islam in france, which the entire minister says will put in, enter fine influence on islam. them. person to manual mat corner suggested that a moms are trained in france instead of being brought in from other countries. in moms business leaders and intellectuals all selected by the government will be in the form, support essay will help it should hearing sir francis secular values. but critics say government initiative goes too far and trying to control islam. the french government is origin investigation of the world's 2nd largest chola drop more than 800000 dead fish into the atlantic ocean near the french coast fishing industry group. p. s k says spill from the f v. margaret was caused by a tear. and the soup, petrol is net, the sea shepherd, france, which films dump says that it believes they were dropped on purpose with

a long while populated coastline. the u. k. is a serious risk from climate change feeds at flooding and storm damage will make many areas uninhabitable by the 2050 government plans to spend $7000000000.00 to protect the coast. john hall reports from sidmouth, expert say, hard decisions needed about which areas are saved and which has surrounded to the sea. this is sidney from the devon coast, a georgia in town that lost a 100 meters of shoreline in a century. a rate that's now close to double in places on its east beach. the cliffs have been crumbling for years. where once there was climate denial, there is now an unavoidable reality. as we watched another section and fell into the sea, the climate change now has to change people's perception in the last couple years. i think the recognition that there's a tremendous danger from climate change coastal defense is already in place,

protect the towns, proven out, but they've affected the natural title drift, making things worse for the nearby cliffs. down here at the water line, you can clearly see the forces of nature weighing on this landscape down one side. this river runoff made heavier by more frequent storm activity, up above the cliffs, heavy rainfall that saturate the soil from below the waves lapping all the way pretty much up to the base of the cliffs, their own beach protections washed away. it's a 3 pronged assault, making this world heritage site and others like it all the way up and down the jurassic coast, vulnerable, fragile, prone to collapse. the problem is, people live up here, some in large houses with majestic sea views and fast receding from lawns. it is worrying that i assume with the my age is not going to be a physical problem to myself. but the further down the road you get oversleep is

the worry will get larger. and there are gardens that are literally falling into the sea down. absolutely. and at some stage they've got to do something to protect the town. a 2020 report by the committee on climate change found that 1200000 homes in the u. k are at high risk of flooding, and a 100000 more will succumb to coastal erosion in decades to come. there's increased funding for protection but not everywhere can receive it. and that means hard choices lie ahead. basically telling those people who lives there. but you will not be will no longer be able to live here in the next 203040 years, you'll have to abandon your house because we can no longer afford to protect you. now, those are really, really tough decisions. and they, those sorts of decisions will, will increasingly be necessary in the future. the homeowners overlooking east beach, a clinging on her. now there are plans being worked out by the local council for
