2:13 am
residents, some of whom tell us that they haven't had running water in weeks. others say that they haven't had running water in their homes for over a month, leaving them with little to do with no other option other than to rely on public cisterns and water trucks were provided by provided by the government and the water at 2 of the 3 dams in the city has all been dried up. so you can imagine the level, the level of frustration and just the amount of concerns from, from residents. here, we're talking about 5000000 people who are now at risk of having no water. and the only solution they see is, you know, next time it's going to rain and there's just absolutely no sign of precipitation on the horizon. now, experts have identified several factors as to what's contributing to the ongoing water crisis. the most significant is a weather phenomenon known as la ninette. this is a phenomenon that disrupts traditional wet weather patterns. in the case of mexico, it means that a rainy season that should have begun in may, hasn't even started yet. so there's also,
2:14 am
we're hearing from climate scientists who say that the, that lenny has been exacerbated by climate change. this of course, has led to one of the worst droughts this region of the country is seen in the last 30 years. there's no silver bullet for this is no overnight solution, but mexico's president has been criticized over his handling of this crisis because he seems to favor fossil fuels of renewable energy. has he come in for criticism? there's a lot of criticism, not only of the mexican president, but of, of, of, of state leaders here in the state of rebel they own. of course, people understand that, you know, when it comes to lenny. yeah. and a lack of rain in the drought. this isn't really the government's fault, but there is a lot of criticism over the handling of the situation by the local government. now, mexico's president and the disciplinary lopez of it, though it is also under criticism under pressure nationally and internationally, particularly from trade representatives from the united states and, and canada who say that mexico is failing to meet its pledges and commitments
2:15 am
regarding climate change. the strategy by the mexican government, by the mexican president, is for his country to become fuel self sufficient as fuel prices around the world continue to grow. this is men, a doubling down on extraction of fossil fuels, particularly petroleum trade representatives from the united states and mexico and, and canada say that mexico is failing to meet its commitment specifically to investments in renewable energy, solar, wind, energy. and so the, in, in simple terms, the criticisms that we're hearing both internationally and nationally, is that in the face of a worsening impact of climate change in several parts of mexico. the policies by the mexican government are falling short of sustainable solutions. that's manuel or apollo, there lie frozen from monterey. and stella had no dessert, a shock announcement on international chest, a magnet calls and won't defend as well title. but as it really the end of the road for the well number one outbreak of tribal violence is to dance between all region

2:20 am
a very different makeup of congress. instead of having the majority that he had throughout much of his 4 years, the empower, he confronted almost 60 percent new faces and majority. they used to be at the opposition and will represent the new majority, the new power in congress. but despite that, what we heard from the presidents was a fierce defense of its legacy. the results of is that ministration. this, despite the fact these leaving the office with less than 20 percent support by colombians according to the polls and the fact that he was repeatedly into rough fits by some of the new congress. 3 men and women who not only had the pictures of the many victims that by the social leaders, community leaders that were killed during the administration of even duke,
2:21 am
but also called him liar a number of time when lucas said he that he said ministration defended the implementation of the peace deal in this country defended these, the social leaves, their leaders that were killed and very, very high numbers. more than 800 doing is administration and another moment. so what usually is a very situational affair was, in this case, a very confrontational one. now good, so petro, does he have a monday? yes, this is a left is coalition, that's the largest blog. but it's still the coalition will be able to pass any of those ambitious reforms the once well, this obviously is the question and everybody is mind that the feeling here, though, is that this is a unique moment. and that gustavo paper has a real chance to pass some of these reforms, some of them that have never been passed before in the country,
2:22 am
starting with agriculture, a land reform, for example, that has been at the, at the center of the internal conflict here for the past the 50 years, and that's because he has the support of the majority of colo bins more than 60 percent of colombia in to say that support his plan. and also the fact that he's very close to having a basic majority in both houses by the year also attracted enough politicians from the sensor. and in some cases, even the sensor, right, who are saying that they will indeed vote to push forward the reform. and this 1st year in office. obviously the question is, how long the honeymoon period the well in the last about if you talk to analyst here, they'll tell you that the most likely there is a real possibility for
2:23 am
a number of these reforms to reach the floor of the senate in the house of representatives because many of the traditional parties feel that the majority of colombians want that to happen. obviously, they will also face a complicated economic environment. inflation is very high here. is it, is that and in many parts of the world right now, unemployment is very high. so people will want to see this change happening quick quickly and surely that might be difficult, but at least for now it seems that every, everything is in place for these reforms to, to be able to pass through. but through congress, allison europe. yes you there for life for us from boca tell. thank you. now italian prime minister, mar, druggies. government looks like it might collapse. so you won a confidence fight in the italian senate on wednesday. but senator,
2:24 am
some 3 of his main coalition partners refused to cast the balance. dog then tried to step down last week, but the president rejected his resignation, urging him to try and revive his administration. he's now expected to offer his resignation for the 2nd time. adam rainy now explains from rome. it could come as early as thursday morning in rome. he is expected to give a speech in the lower house of parliament on thursday, and most people and even some anonymous forces. speaking to italian media, say he's going to resign there and then immediately after that, travel up to denali hill to the presidential palace and tell presence has meant that he wants to resign. and it's doubtful as he says that and does all that on thursday that the president, this time would reject it. there's just been too much division in this so called unity government over the last week. it 1st started when the 5 star movement just a few years ago, the party with the most seats and parliament a party that's fracturing and, and seen many defections and really thinking and opinion polls. while they weren't
2:25 am
on board with a vote that might be called. and so that confidence vote didn't meet druggies requirements, so he offered a resignation that was rejected. and then he come here to the senate on wednesday and he said what he needed was everyone to get on board and his unity government. and some people thought that his comments were little too strong, saying that he was only one that could perhaps solve these problems with that government. so what we had in backroom deals throughout and back from negotiations that is throughout the day on wednesday, was this growing kind of sense of these parties. seeing that they don't have much unity actually. and different parties came out at different points and they think they weren't going to vote, they were going to abstain or boycott to vote. and that's just what happened. sticking with european politics, richie set out all his trust will become britain's next prime minister. the former chancellor and foreign secretary of the final 2 candidates in the you case, conservative party leadership contest, the winner will be chosen by a run of vote by party members and will replace. ah,

2:27 am
a further distinction between the 2. while lease trust is seen as the candidate most likely to continue boris johnson's brand of populace politics, richie soon isn't popular in downing street where he's seen as having betrayed johnson, earning him the distrust of party members. a poll all of those very party members who will elect the next prime minister suggests that list trust is far more likely to win the riches who knock before the focus shifted to a very public summer leadership campaign, there was a time for parliament to say goodbye to boris johnson at his final session at the dispatch box in prime minister questions. i do know the relationship between a prime minister and leader of the opposition is never easy. this forms prove no exception to the rule. but i would like to take this opportunity to wish him, his wife and his family, the best for the future. ad johnson had this advice for his successor. number one,
