italy and germany, rivers are slowing to a trickle. and that's killing harvests halting marine traffic and disrupting factories and industries. millions of livelihoods are at stake. and in the world's 2nd largest economy, china, asia's longest river, is shrinking after a heat wave that lasted more than 2 months. the longest since records began. i tried fog reports from cha ching, one of the worst affected regions. it's faint for being one of china's furnace cities with the longest somers and hottest temperatures. but in the last couple of months, the heat in the southwestern city of cha ching has been oppressive. even by its own standards, mercury levels have frequently topped 40 degrees celsius and had an all time record high of 45 degrees earlier this week. paula: yeah, it's hot as hell i melting. many tourists come to chung chain to marvel at its sides. jarling river might be what's most i catching now. it's

a dying. well this here shows pretty clearly why crops are struggling. the water for this field behind us has receded about 20 meters away from the crops. and what's been left behind is just this bone dry layer of mud report say more than 350000 people in rural chunking are suffering because of a shorter journey to supplies. many of them like one man, we spoke to our elderly and can't do much to fix the problem. because there was a more irrigation systems. you have to buy pipes and machine. you said you have to spend the money and it's not worth it because the stuff was already dried and died . like, what's the point of watering if it's already dead? and with many scientists saying hot a days as a result of global warming are here to stay days here for the people of long ging could be numbered pantry. falk al jazeera cha ching china. a more now on the extreme temperatures across china without when the presenter jeff harrington. well,

this has been unrelenting heath. it's now lasted for more than 2 months. so here's what's going on. we've got this plume of heat rate across the yangtze river valley, whether you're in western central or eastern areas, everyone is feeling it. what we know is that the heat started earlier this year. it's been more intense, and it's last, the longer a lot of comparisons are be made to 2013. that's when a heat wave stretch for 62 days, but we've already blown past that and we're coming up to 70 days. and there's still more indication that it will carry through here some proof of just how hot it's been in chunk ching, a 45 degrees. so we've got temperature is a good 10 degrees above where they should be. and is there any release coming? here's the forecast on saturday. keep in mind darker the red, the higher the temperature. here's the yangtze river valley and we've still got temperatures in the 40s. okay, let me take the colors off and show you the precipitation rate. now a week line of storms coming in to shanghai. so here's what the next 3 days looks

like a maybe a bit of relief. but look at this, not only high temperature's, also high humidity as while feeling 45 degrees on saturday. you'll kick back down to 35, but that is still above the august temperature average before. once again, those temperatures start to climb on monday. so in the short term, no relief come in. when stream that dry weather is also causing problems in mexico, a severe drought has hit the northern city of monterey. it's $5000000.00 restaurants are running out of water and relying on water tankers. areas, reservoirs, lakes and dams have dropped to critical levels. authorities say the situation is desperate with you and the secretary journal. i'm trying to get parish isn't ukraine's southern port city of desa to review the shipments of grain is part of a deal broken by turkey on the u. n. last month. it allows the resumption of ukraine's grain exports from its 3 ports, several ships including a un shot at a vessel bound for if you have left since then these up alicia,

how sounds has been a major talking point for weeks now. it was seized by russian forces in march, but is operated by ukrainian staff. moscow has rejected international calls to demilitarize, heaves state nuclear power company thinks russia is planning to disconnect the pound from ukraine's grid un secretary journal called on russia to refrain from diverting power. what is true is that if you did really to rise as we propose the plant, the problem will be solved. and obviously, the electricity from somebody is ukrainian electricity. and it's necessary, especially during the winter ford of ukrainian people. and these people must be fully respected. while joining us live from odessa is that theresa bo so theresa, what did the un secretary general say about the grain shipments that while

we're here in the city of, they said, this is the place where ukraine's grain has been leaving this country in the past months since that this agreement was signed between russia and ukraine with the help of turkey and the united nations to start exporting grain of wheat corn. among other things, since russia imposed a blockade on this country already around $2725.00 vessels have left ukraine carrying food not only to several parts of the world, but also humanitarian aid to countries in africa. so the secretary general visited this part of the country. he said that it is important for all restrictions to be lifted, so that fertilizers from russia, but also food from ukraine can start being exported. once again, he said it's important and crucial to guarantee a food production for the year,

20232024. he also said that much more needs to happen for this whole procedure to continue. he was hoping to go from 3000000 toned amounts to around 5000000 tons already over 500000 metric tons of food have left this part of the country through this part of the country. any major challenge because they see that you can see right behind me, it's filled with mines, a major, major danger. and that's why they had to establish a humanitarian corridor. so the best as could leave this part of the country is through a safe passage and to raise a what's being said about the worrying situation at the separation nuclear plot. well that's a major concern and as you just mentioned, that the separation of a power plant was taken by russia back in march. a bass was established there and fighting has been ongoing all around that area. and there is

a major concern that it could be damaged. now there's been a debate and the international community is demanding that inspectors from the i. e . a will visit that area. and there's been a debate on how that's going to happen. russia, once those inspectors to go through russia while the ukraine and the united nation, say that they're ready to guarantee a passage through ukraine, even though this could mean going through the front light. now, there was a conversation with between french precedent em, i know, in my colon and russian president vladimir putin, where apparently they agreed of the important for inspectors to visit the plant there. also saying the and russia said that they would reconsider whether it would be an option for inspection to visit that part of the country through ukraine. the other thing that's been going on here with separation is that ukraine state nuclear company announced that and said that russia was getting ready to unhook the nuclear power plant from ukraine's grid. and this is a major, you know,

a threat for the population here and mostly in winter time already the secretary general antonio. we'll tell it says that this electricity belongs to ukraine. and that this is something that shouldn't happen. and again, he said that this would be a threat to ukraine's territorial integrity. live for us in odessa, theresa by thank you. and while fighting continues along, ukraine's eastern in the southern front lines, there are reports of at least 4 explosions. now, a russian air based north of sebastopol in crimea, there been a number of explosions and fires that military bases and weapons to hose in the russian annexed region. in the past few weeks, russia has blamed that these to one of those on saboteurs. inside russia, 2 villages were evacuated near the ukrainian border after 5 at an ammunition step. it happened in the belgrade region in the south. in northern syria, at least 15 people, including 5 children,
