pressure on the global economy, the g 7 meeting will be immediately followed by a nato summit in madrid, where expansion of good luck and supporting ukraine will dominate, did all the latest development on al jazeera. what's most important to me is talking to people understanding what they're going through here it al jazeera, we believe every one has a story worth hearing. ah . britain's biggest rouse, strike in 30 years is underway as unions worn of a summer of discontent. ah, hello, are you watching al jazeera, i'm emily anglin, also coming up struggling to get aid into flood, hidden ne, in india and bangladesh and military steps in to airlift,

11:02 am
here in london, at least some trains all running, but only on the main lines and only a skeleton service really, maybe 4 trains an hour on some of those main lines are not always for the full length of the line. i mean here also do it's britain's biggest and busiest station . normally we're talking about over the whole network, just 45 percent of trains of the network will actually be running the other 50 percent with no services at all. and even on the 45 percent of the network that is running, the number of services will be tough to around one 5th of those that would be running on a normal day. so around $4000.00 services compared to some $20000.00, that would be running normally. now look over my shoulder. it's 9 o'clock. this is the morning rush out. you'd expect people to be streaming out of these platforms behind me. they are coming through as a train arise, but in between those occasional trains, as you can see, it's old. it's security guards off of them. passengers. it's extraordinary size
11:03 am
compared to normal. and on this side you can see that the underground station is also placed today. here in london, the tube trains also on strike in a separate dispute. so the underground network, unable to take the strain of the oval ground railway, is putting it on it. now, i've spoke with people here as they've been streaming through the opinions of split . some people do have sympathy with striking workers. it's not just train drivers and gods, these up railway staff across a lot of professions and people say look, the cost of living is such is going up at such a rate that people are entitled to a pay rise. other commuters simply frustrated with the disruption that they've had to end jewel on. the jenny end to disrupt, you know, they'll have for the rest of the week all the way through to next sunday. now the 2 sides are going to continue talking. during this week, we spoke with network rail as to whether or not the possibility of a compromise bank found. we will continue to do all we can to find
11:04 am
that sweet spot of compromise that is affordable food for the employers affordable for the taxpayer. affordable for the fair po and the are empty and our employees can live with. they want to decent payroll is we want to get the one. we just need some compromise a bit if given teddy couldn't negotiating table to find that to that sweet spot. hold households in britain and in many countries across the globe are facing the toughest economic conditions in decades. is, is unlikely to be the last of the industrial action is met. mm. that is, i'm sorry. well, it's not. i mean, here in the u. k, for example, we've got inflation nudging towards 10 percent is expected to go even higher to perhaps 11 or 12 percent in the next couple of months at the same time. wages have been significantly suppressed over a period of years because she effected the pandemic. for example, it's a strange economic affected either the inflation that we're seeing at the moment is, would normally be driven by an increase in wage is driving demand from the public
11:05 am
and rising prices that, that way. in fact, this time it's because of supply side issues. the war in ukraine, the cost of energy going up significantly as a result of that. and what's happening is the gap between rising prices and people salaries is getting wider and wider and wider. and it's just so happens that the r i m t is perhaps one of the strongest unions in britain. some would say one of the most militant unions in britain and they have the power to take their workforce out their membership out from work and actually bring the network to a standstill. but there are other professions that are possibly gonna follow up on the heels of the are empty because the government is already indicated the public sector workers were talking, doctors, nurses, teachers, local government workers. they're already being warned. they will be given up in low inflation, pay off up by the governments in the coming weeks and months at a time as i say when, when prices are going up by 10 percent. so you can see the anger is,
11:06 am
is starting to build here in the u. k. about the difference between the cost of living crisis on the, on the, the, the money in people's pockets. thank you for bringing us up to speed pope when and at a relatively quiet waterloo station. thank you to bangladesh now and the worst flooding in years could be about to get worse. more rain is full cost and major rivers are expected to rise. millions of homes or underwater and aren't. he's struggling to deliver emergency supplies. the worst flooding is in districts. in the north and northeast, the army has been deployed to help with relief efforts. dozens of people have died since the storms began in april. cambia chandry has more from sil head, in ne bangladesh. this is the same and so that city things are much more severe and was the outcome of the fit. in the rural areas, we drove miles and miles on saw villa jones washed away or submerge. people are desperate need for dry shelter. they need fresh water and food. we are visit up

11:11 am
they burning ended the too quickly. so the, the satellite didn't get up to the velocity it needed. and it was deemed to be a failure at this time round. we are hearing, but it has apparently had a full but that's the state that managed to reach the velocity needed. so there is now what they call a performance verification satellite. basically, a dummy satellite to test satellite now orbiting the 700 kilometers above just where it is meant to be. so this will be music to the is of, of the science community, the space community here in the south korea. and we have had a very busy afternoon, this is one of the few vantage places where you can see the narrow space center, which is about 15 kilometers across the water. behind me. big chairs here as they saw that rocket going up into the yeah, they'll be more cheers or across south careers. they hear it has been a success. looks like a spectacular location roll. but why is this space rocket just so important to
11:12 am
south korea? it is important because it allows it to become getting membership of what is a very exclusive club at south korea. and that becomes one of only 7 countries in the world to be able to deliver commercial satellites to lauren satellites and put them up that economically, more importantly reliably. so that's why it's important to have successful law and she is like this. so other countries have mastered this technology. the south koreans are trying to model their own version on the space. sex example in the united states of having economic rockets being able to deliver satellites at an economic unreliable way. south career is a big producer of satellites already because of its advance technology. but now that it can actually produce the rockets to put them up there that also then gives them a big commercial advantage. thank you very much for the update. rub mcbride live
