water from the 3 gorges dam to replenish the yanks in its offshoots. but normal floes could still be months away. here in the city, people are cooling off wherever possible. this library converted out of an old air raid shelter has become a poplar hang at. a breeze circulates through the funnel shaped space, making it an ideal hide away. when it's especially hot, more people come, but elsewhere it's hard to escape the effects of this heat wave and the draft that come with it. a short drive south of the city as long gym village with insufficient irrigation crops here a dime. 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 as 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 are elderly and can't do much to fix the problem because they use the 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 is already dried and died. like, what's the point of water in 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 jing could be numbered. patrick voc, al jazeera chunking china, the more now on the extreme temperatures across china with a weather 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 $62.00 days, but we've already blow and pass 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 of 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. we'll stream it try. weather is also causing problems in mexico, a severe drought as hit the northern city of monterey. it's $5000000.00 residents are running out of water and relying on water tankers. areas, reservoirs, lakes and dams have dropped to critical levels. authority say the situation is desperate. where there's been no end in sight to heavy seasonal rains, which have been lashing parts of sudan since may flooding has killed dozens of people destroyed thousands of homes. the un says more than 130000 people have been affected. awaits reports from one of the worst hit regions. the had the he thought he had what, hello we be. we are reporting from will tell, are we village of our managed local province? it is one of the most ravaged villages by the torrential rain and flash floods its homes more than $300.00 families. as you can see, the entire village is inundated by water from all directions. as we walk through,

we saw many of the houses, partly or totally damaged, due to rising water levels. residents of the village have lost all my school depositions from property to food stocks. one of the only thing left as their castle. the village is totally deserted, as most of the local residents had fled for their lives. some have tried to salvage what they can from their homes. residents who have evacuated to nearby villages are now facing di conditions. they need shelter, food and medicine. nearby farming lands were also flooded and that's ruined the harvest. these floods are unprecedented, especially in this part of the sudan, as floods have devoured all of what local residents here have been sending an s o s message to the international community and all human relief agencies asking them to quickly bring help to this catastrophic situation. are you in the secretary journal and turning the turkish? isn't it ukraine's southern port city of odessa? to review the shipments of greg. it's part of

a deal broken by turkey on the u. n. last month allows the resumption of ukraine's grain exports from its 3 ports, several ships including a un chartered 8th vessel bound for if you have left since then. there is a boat in odessa with more. this is the place where you cranes 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 a grain of wheat corn, among other things. since a russia imposed a blockade on this country, already around $25.00 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 for reduction 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 the major challenge because the 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 coin or so their vessels could leave. this part of the country is through a safe passage. another topics that dominated the tertiary visit to ukraine this week was his operation, nuclear power plot, caves, estate, nuclear power company thinks russia is planning to disconnect the pound from ukraine's grid. un secretary general has called on russia to refrain from diverting

power. what is true is that if you really thought eyes, as we propose the plants, the problem will be solved. and obviously, the electricity from south florida is ukrainian electricity. and it's necessary, specially during the winter for ukrainian people. and these principle must be fully respected. the plant has been under russian control since march. the facilities operated by ukrainian staff, but guarded by russian forces is come under repeated shelling and their affairs of a major disaster. if critical infrastructure is hit, moscow has rejected international calls to demilitarize the part while fighting continues along, ukraine's eastern and southern front lines. the reports of at least 4 explosions near a russian air base ne, thus depaul in crimea. there have been a number explosions and fires that military bases and weapons diapers in the

russian annexed region. in the past few weeks, russia has brained, at least one of those on sub tours. inside russia, 2 villages were evacuated near the ukrainian border after 5 at an ammunition dep. it happened in the belgrade region in the south. maximilian s is a fellow at the foreign policy research institute. he says ukraine has been deliberately unclear about who's been targeting russian installations in crimea. ukrainian reasons for not taking claims or responsibility for all these incidents, but they've become increasingly cheeky. i guess you can say about with their comments, particularly about the strikes in crimea. crimea, of course, is the sovereign territory of ukraine legally by russia 8 years ago. but the morale of this is very important for the inside the finally years. and despite a bad use them in the south, they are now able to carry out the facts and symbolically very important for them.

the russians haven't detailed the extent of the damages, but these incidents have frequently targeted russian emissions and tried to disrupt the russian supply line, the real and there is to be a cranium to be able to weaken the russian position, could potentially have taken out a number of russian plans and last tuesday. busy to strike at the saki air base and in crimea, with the intent of making it easier for them to launch a counter offensive north of the new river. re taking the occupied portions and nikolai, a region and of the southern region. but why don't you do that? even after these attacks still remains to be seen, there might lack the forces, so to push those advantages on the ground, there's been explosions in the somali capital mark edition. witnesses say there were 3 blasts at an intersection in the city center. a short time later, attackers stormed a hotel in the same area. there's no word yet on casualties. so the head announces

error me and most struggling economy is leaving people, shorts of food and electricity. thus, apple sounds vietnam, the tech jones says some uses will need an emergency software update. ah ah hi there, good to see. let's go with your weather update beginning in the middle east. not really much changed since we spoke last. we've got some temperatures back into the fifty's that includes for buck dead with a high of 50 degrees. and look at all this sand in dust being tossed around for oman on saturday. got to take you to pakistan. it is still raining, a percent profits into eastern baluchistan, but of a breather for karachi. and we're also seen this rain leak into afghanistan. there's been some flooding here as well, so bursts of rain to come for cobble the hive 27 degrees on saturday for turkey.

it's looking like this, i think. yeah. ok, showers around that black sea coast. maybe even seen them sneak into is stumble at times as well. off to central africa, we go and we're seeing the rain pick up toward western areas of the democratic republic of congo rate up into bungie is while we take you to the south because we got this vigorous weather system moving in to the eastern cape province. conseula in tall, this is really going to pick up those winds across the eastern cape coastline. so i think for example, in port elizabeth, we're going to look for maximum wind gusts of about 90 kilometers per hours. so that could certainly cause damage. also seen those winds pick up in durban and my poto as while with some cooler air shuffling in. we'll see soon the frank assessments how much support is there for the st. protests that we've seen and across the rest of the country street men have been very good. that's happening

into the core concerns of people across the country. informed opinions, we will say more of it and what is happening is that climate change it to making them work in depth analysis of the days global headlines, druggie is credited by some way where they were storing italy's credibility. this critics would say he couldn't play the part of a politician. what do you think went wrong inside story on al jazeera lou? ah, he without. as a reminder of our main stories this ages, longest river, the yangtze is shrinking in the face of a records breaking heat. wave in southern china is lasted more than 2 months. and experts said could continue to september. un chief antonio de terrace has called

ukraine. it has increased interest globally. thrown on. we have seen drones been widely used in ukraine, which shows data city is increasing. so i think the market is getting bigger and bigger. at high tech weapon making, it's supported by south korea as advanced manufacturing. just as it's precision and heavy engineering have helped it become a leading arm supplier now benefiting from the war in ukraine. for south korea, the war provides both opportunity, but also risk. it has stopped short of supplying weapons directly to ukraine for fear of angering russia, which is the influence over north korea. but the war has also increased demand from east european nations who want to buy ever more nato standard equipment. south korea has used its alliance with the u. s. and friendly ties with nato to position itself as a supplier of choice. signing its biggest every single arms deal with poland for

but i would encourage them to do that anyways, just to practice because it's cross platform sites or is your, your i phone your i pad your mac. if you are learn to malicious website or somebody sent you a link to a malicious website, this appears to be at least from my reading of it. attack it could potentially take care of your device effective. we could potentially install their own software on your device. and from there they can do largely, whatever they want, such as get your contact information potentially can be reliable. that kind of thing get all the kind of sensitive information that would be useful to an attacker . it's quite likely and again, i'm speculated, but it's quite likely that these floors been used relative despairingly and that probably nation states now it could be nation states out will thing they do to companies like vienna groups who have a reputation to talk to mobile devices and never other companies in that space as well. but as that, as a black market gray market perhaps for this kind also see that it was.
