10:08 am
i'll use my executive powers to combat climate, the climate crisis in the absence or congressional action. the problem in congress essentially lies in the senate, in particular, one of the president's own party, jo mansion who's pulled out of negotiations over climate legislation. given the senate 5050 split, this means unless some republicans break party ranks. any legislation will simply not pass because of, you know, one senator in particular, joe mentioned who gets more money from the oil and gas industry than virtually any other sen. bye. he is blocking biden's legislation in the senate so that fight and cannot enact his climate agenda there. the site of the president's speech was carefully chosen. the brighton point paula station was labeled one of the full feet, 5 industrial polluters in the past. but the coal fired plant was decommissioned 5 years ago and it's now set to become part of a massive, offshore wind power project that could generate

10:15 am
it will be good stuff. but for the south is nothing. there's nothing through southern france, spain, portugal, and it's the remains dry and hot. now the unusual, it's probably gonna be eastern poland up through the baltic states and briefly in sweden that swept away in stockholm back down 25. autonomy get to friday. but i did say southern europe has a different story in seville, the temperature still riding very high, the records 466, we're not got there, but the average is 36. well above that, once again. and that goes for most of the best reading countries and beyond. into was turkey, which means the wildflowers are spreading, you know, they're in spain. porch go and france and his, the latest one picture overnight. just north of athens in greece. mortar, come, i'm afraid. ah frank assessments, it sounds like you don't expect anything to change the problem. lebanon is actually structural lebanon needs and use

goals in ukraine have widened beyond the eastern dumbass region. saga lab, rob told state media of russian forces, will also focus on ukraine, southern regions of pearson and the central region and has been hearing the italian prime minister. mateo groggy, has told parliament he will resign. the lyla house was about to debate the confidence motion. groggy one contents vote in the italian senate on wednesday, but politician some 3 of his main coalition partners refused to cost at ballots in the place that richie sumac, all his trust will become britons next prime minister, the former chancellor and foreign secretary are the final 2 candidates and the conservative party leadership contest. the window will be chosen and are one of the vote i party members in september journal hall reports. therefore, richie suitor ad lives for us will be the candidates going forward, conservative party and piece of spoken. now grassroots members will decide where the former chancellor richie sooner called forum secretary list trust should go on
10:18 am
to be party leader and britons next prime minister. both the divisive characters, both have the experience of high office trust promises what she calls a truly conservative economic agenda, tax cuts and a hike in defense spending on the past. and who can go into number 10. i can hit go, i'm running and i can get things done. soon acts as he'll stabilize the economy, ease the cost of living crisis and when the next election. the question now for our members, who is the best person to defeat care film or in the labor party at the next election? i believe on the only candidate who can do that. and there's 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 those very party members who
10:19 am
will elect the next prime minister suggests that list trust is far more likely to win than risky sooner. before the focus shifted to a very public some a 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, stay true for the american. pick up for the ukranian speak up of freedom and democracy everywhere. johnson's relatively short and near included, he said, restoring the case independence from europe and battling the pandemic. but then
10:20 am
a string of scandals brought his office into disrepute. mister speaker, i was like everybody here and had some of the baby. johnson exited the house of commons to rousing applause. the next prime minister will be named on september the 5th jona, how l $20.00 london. schools every opened in ne, in bangladesh, sharp, the worse floods in a century. tens of thousands of students haven't been to class for weeks to charge a report. so one of the hardest hit region most children in the flood effect of sil at region, return to class on july the 19. but for some getting to school is an easy for xanax . her and her schoolmates have to take a boat on their foster back. as please continue to see today is the 1st day we are going to school. as our homes were damaged and partly submerged by the flooding, it's still difficult because of the remaining water in the area question. the un
10:21 am
estimates nearly 20000 people, including 3000 children, are still living in temporary shelters. for all the school was used as a shelter aside from people livestock was also kept here. so we had to clean up the entire place before re opening. only around 30 to 40 percent of students have returned to the school. the government say they've already made plans to provide new boats and educational materials tele budget does. little should reduce a couple discipline else. look a little more than 400 educational institutions. the region we're use a shelter there. have it since the flood waters receded. have we been able to reopen when most of the schools this week? some people have returned home and are trying to repair the damage. water points on lesson needs to be repaired and communication is still very difficult as flood water in many places have not totally received that yet. he, unless he loves them is a cousin and our family are rice, farmers. they're worried about their future as they have no other source of income
10:22 am
. but the genie stacy the so much stuff i had all washed away. i barely survived. my husband had to break the wall to rescue me from inside the house, which was completely flooded. grammy's as a 2 year old daughter, fanny is anxious to return to school, and my children's education is told because this to water around the home, the road, somebody full of sludge. we don't have a boat, a government climate action policy due to be launched ahead of the c o. p 27 conference in november. suggest any new developments to be built using water assistant construction materials. but for the families who have lost everything, it will take months if not years, to rebuild their homes and then need all their system they can get on top of their jones as live now from sil had tanveer. so despite the fact that school was a reopening, many places are still under water. yes,
10:23 am
you can see the road behind me was actually flooded. we crossed this road by boat, last month's a, some off it did to reset. but on the right side, you can see that still flood water totally not received that yet. it depends on the warmer climate. maybe if the rain continued, it could get flooded again. and yesterday we visited some of the area in the rural part, and a lot of the houses are still partially submerge. people are trying to rebuild their home, was stuff is totally washed away somewhere for a partially damage. it's a very challenging daunting task for the rural farmers because they don't have any savings without financial interest and it's going to be a very difficult road ahead for them. we visited some of the school near rural areas. the teacher said that tendency between 30 to 40 percent, many students are not coming because they cannot actually reach that school because they're still, they're sitting floodwaters. they have to take broad. the roads are. b bad, so again, a difficult period under government is taking it very seriously. this has been one
10:24 am
of the worst slot i've know and 100 years. this area is a low lying area that used to flawed in april to may. but nothing like this, this has been a very unusual flood and a gun. many as already i located at $5500000000.00 budget to bill shelters in these areas to tackle just like it does with the fact that on shelters and the coastal area where there will be schools and shelters for livestock, as well as people and the government also have a 2021. they've called delta strategy, which to deal with climate adaptation. how it's going to build shell does red, waterproof materials build houses with water materials and also forecast flood and other areas of the country where it is prone to natural disaster. so a lot of challenge ahead for their government as part of climate change goes. all right, sounds good child your life and the enjoyment in by what it's time to thank my
