this is al jazeera ah, you're watching the news are alive from headquarters in delphi. i'm dreading obligated coming up in the next 60 minutes. south asia is missing spring. the region swelter is under record high temperatures as a heat wave leaves millions struggling to cope sheaves, mayor warns of more russia an attack soft of the ukrainian capital was hit with missiles during the un chief visits. more than 200 people are killed in a week of inter, communal violence. and through dawn we hear from survivors, and they call themselves the living dead. we meet one of iraq's most persecuted communities, fighting to live as equal citizens. in sports, manchester, united into rom manager, ralph rang, nick has been named new coach of austria's national side and a record breaking performance in the n b a. playoffs full house phoenix. some see

killed a face in the western conference and he finally, ah, welcome to the news. our pakistan has gone straight from winter to summer without a spring season. a surprising and alarming assessment made by its federal minister for climate change. so a 1000000000 people across south asia are sizzling in a heat wave that's begun earlier than usual. take a look at the map there. most of south asia is going through what looks like a heat wave in april. so in parts of india, temperatures have gone past $45.00 degrees celsius, several degrees higher than normal. it's cause power cuts and put a strain on health services. farmers are warning, wheat, harvests might be effected. while temperatures and parts of rural pakistan are expected to peak at $48.00 degrees celsius and not a degrees higher than normal,

it could lead to water shortages in a country where it's already a huge problem. most people in south asia have no choice but to work in the blazing heat. it can cause dizziness, nausea, headaches, and dehydration, and also muscle cramps, confusion and fainting. in extreme cases, heat increases the risk of a heart attack over to come on hider who's joining us from pakistan's, capital, islam, about how unprecedented is this heat wave come out? well, indeed, it did alarming big gods bugger. saunders not received the kind of rain that it normally gets in the winter months, and then the spring, which den heads fell all the red, the wide, which are needed for agricultural broad youth. so that was one factor also the fact that lock dear some bought of budget on like jacob bought gall temperature, shorting to 52 cell. that's a 126 fahrenheit. and according griggs,

for any long duration of exposure to that kind of temperature, can lead to organ failure sort of august on the new climate minister time jane minister failure mon speaking yesterday warned that the government should take measures to mitigate the effect. although the previous government had gone beg on blanding a lot of trees, but bugger, thought net while notable bit god most of the river fled. but i started fed by glass years and a not and the rising temperatures. good made that don't mean that don't last years good meant that a foster aid and i've got to go so god, florida. so indeed an alarming situation, given the trend of climate change and global warming in this particular region. so then what measures are the government is the government taking to, to mitigate the effects?

well, the government could not do much except to issue warnings. advisory like, if you remember, edwards and grande 15 owed 2016. that over to 1000 buckets on each died in the city of garage g. there would exports do extreme weather. so the government of gods will be issuing advisories for people to stay in doors to avoid exposure to the sun . but this is also a country where a lot of people depend on their livelihoods outside days a week or a holiday season coming soon. so i other than a sure why injury that not much the government can do and also to keep an eye on those black head up not to see that de mailed out dead. not got any damage and have dated that thread. that the 80 i should be warned well ahead of time in order to take evasive measure. okay, thank you so much. come on. hi dora. joining us from islam abides. so that was the view from pakistan. here's elizabeth parent,

him from the indian capital new delhi where the temperature has been over 40 degrees celsius. the wrong kinds of record was being broken across the country. here in the capital valley, it reported to the highest temperature in april and 12 years at 43.5 degrees and not far from delhi. the city of good ground recorded its highest ever temperature at 45.6 degrees. this of course, followed march, which was the warmest march since the indian meteorological department began keeping rec, was a 122 years ago. and as well as the terrible impact of this is having on the hundreds of millions of people in india. and so many of those who work out on the streets, so lead to power demand reaching and all time high this week. and what we're seeing as a result of that is power cuts in a number of cities and power disruptions and states such as roger harvey on the an entrepreneur page of the was the be in 6 years here. and daddy,

they have been how cut all through the day at night for the past few weeks. government is wanting it's residence to expect disruption to metro services and to hospitals. coal power plugs which supply around 30 percent of the capital electricity need, they're facing shortages. the government, the regional government, central government to send supplies, the central government, has cancelled hundreds of passenger train services as it diverts them to rush coal to different states. and of course, all of those have, once again highlighted india is dependent on coal. let's talk about all of this with china. cool. mar, who's the head of environment and green transition at the new economics foundation . he's joining us by sky from oxford. thanks for joining us on al jazeera. so usually peak temperatures in the region come in may and june and not just before the monsoon brains. but this year, as we've been hearing, is particularly hot. how concerning is a heat wave?

not only because if it's timing, but it's spread as well. is extremely concise like i, i grew up in and i know the country fairly well in terms of whether it was only made you and i was sort of hunker down and not try and go out often and that the heat, extreme heat would last probably about $6.00 to $8.00 weeks and that's about it. this is extremely unusual and very worrisome. and this is what climate scientists have been telling us for quite a long time. they've been wanting us about extreme heat for wind now, and this might be the new normal. and that's why it's quite concerning the might see more of these heat waves quite regularly, in fact, probably every year, over the course of the coming decade and 70 kids in the future. so we'll have to prepare for this now because this might be the new normal. okay, we'll talk about the preparation in a moment. but so what you're saying is this extreme weather in parts of south asia is perhaps a sign of what's to come for climate vulnerable countries. absolutely. yeah. extreme heat is one of the things that we know is, is

a climate in. but if in the southeast region, besides that, obviously we have things like sea level rise, which is also a major worry. but extreme heat is unfortunately something we've predicted climate scientists have predicted and it is, it is coming to pass. yes, i know this is a bit of a broad question, but what is it that the governments need to do right now to prepare you were talking about preparation a moment ago. what do you need to see? i think i think we'll have to sort of ensure that there are very widespread public health advisories, going out to the public going up to businesses, small businesses, medium businesses, talking about how extreme the heat rate is going to be and how to sort of prepare for that it is, it, you cannot expect people to sort of go out on the streets and join on their living when they're extremely wonderful and susceptible to heat strokes. you know, government has to sort of insure health advisories to hospitals and create spaces for people coming in with conditions that are related to heat strokes. for example,

to public health, i think should be the number one response in the most shocked response. in most the longest job i'd say, really thinking about how to sort of design your cities better and showing that there's more gland to cover entering that there's more spaces to cool down to sort of half shade to be able to sort of a stay away from the extreme heat, this is all thing things we need to do with a longer term, but in the short term, public health advisory is i'd say, and number one. and on the issue of public health, in particular, when you say you were saying that you, you grew up in india, this can really take a heavy toll on the health of a population. tell us a little bit more about the, about the consequences there. yeah, i mean, if, if you are someone who is, you know, that's the pandemic, perhaps isn't working from home, has an air conditioner then probably not see the back to fit as much. but you know, some of the workers in the informal economy, which is the largest sector in india,

they are the workers that are most impact to make their living day to day after work outdoors, construction workers come to mind farmers. those working on factory flaws, for example, on certainly street vendors, you know, we're all aware of hundreds of millions of them street runners across the country. i think they're suffering the most and they're paying for it through, you know, the heat trucks and finding it difficult to cope this extreme heat. but especially rural areas. if you think about it, we've already seen use of public cuts. rogers on a big state. invest in india has, is basically announced that they have for our focus every day for rural areas. we're talking about area. this is very difficult for anybody living in this point. ok, we'll leave it there. thank you so much for speaking to us from oxford on the al serra news our now a poor start to the rainy season and the horn of africa has added to fears of worst drought in decades could have catastrophic results across the region. a 1000000

people there have left their homes and more than 3000000 livestock have died. her with hasa reports from the some border region in northern kenya. melissa daniel has been walking for hours. his animals need water and he's finally found some. he says giving up wasn't an auction heard as in northern king, i have lost thousands of animals because of recurring droughts because his garritano i younger, i'm now always out here with the camels help doesn't reach us. but i know in the villages, at least the government is giving people some water pots of king, ethiopia, and somalia are suffering the dry as conditions in more than 40 years. harvest a ruined animals, a dying. more and more families are going hungry galaxy. yeah, i used to have 250 camels, the drought has killed most of them. i only have 3 left. it's hot breaking. a 4th failed rainy season in the region is now

a growing probability. so situations those improve, you're going to see mass, death of lifestyle. and when we talk about mass of livestock, what do we, what that means is, people's livelihoods are completely destroyed. assistance from agencies and king as government is coming. but it's not enough. this both of august and the pension, like physical protection program, bank will believe by the government it has to do with the given cache one out of a household. we still have a huge population in that needle $48.00 who, which, if nothing is going to be done about it will end up with a other stuff is the only way to survive. for many, if you keep moving, people here have been walking for days, looking for food and water for the animals. first, they were told their supplies in that direction about a 100 kilometers away. but when they got they, they thought nothing, not the heading towards the mountains, another 100 kilometers away with them i,

the farmers are gathering, it's a long journey. and when they eventually get the, there is no guarantee they will find what they are looking for. how to matessa out their northern king are getting reports off an explosion at a mosque west of afghanistan's capital capital. the interior ministry says at least 10 people have been killed in at least another 15 have been wounded. will bring in more details as they come in. a russian missile strike and cave on thursday came shockingly close to the un secretary general. that's according to members of his staff. antonia good terrorist described ukraine as an epicenter of unbearable pain during his 1st visit there. since the start of the war and chappelle as the latest cleaning up the debris from a russian strike, people are happy to be alive and only dealing with blown out windows. thursdays,

in downtown, keep with many members of his government and president zalesky himself again underlying the fact that russia did not have any respect in their view even towards due un secretary general and making a point that it was, this attack was done purposely and very well timed to coincide with his little lot that witnesses ahead of his visit. not only because of the timing and the way he decided to go to moscow person come back here. but also because of the role of do you and so far it has been a lot of frustrations in the weeks leading to the war. and there's been a lot of frustrations throughout the war. 2 months in many other leaders have showed up here in cave and then he comes at the back of it. so certainly a difficult position for the secretary general who is trying now to just push forward. do you many italian track overhearing from the ukranian president's office
