12:03 am
china, asia is the longest river is shrinking after a heat wave that's lasted for more than 2 months. the longest since records began algiers, patrick falk begins our coverage with his report. from chung ching, one of the hardest hit regions ah, it's fame 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 chunking 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 chunking to marvel at its sights . jarling river might be what's most i catching now. it's a major tributary that meets the yancey further south. and it's dried up so much people can walk half way across it. again,
12:04 am
i'm definitely worried it could affect residents and these that need to use the water forecasters of worn the dry spell could last well into september. authorities have begun discharging 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. is library converted out of an old air raid shelter has become a poplar hang out. a breeze circulates through the funnel shaped space, making it an ideal hideaway who is when it's especially hot, more people come. but elsewhere, it's hard to escape the effects of this heat wave and the drab that's come with it . a short drive south of the city is long gin 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
12:05 am
been left behind is just this bone dry layer of mud report say more than 300. 50000 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 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 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 ging could be numbered. patrick voc, al jazeera chunking china. meanwhile, extreme dry weather is also causing problems in mexico, where a severe drought has hit the northern city of monterey. it's $5000000.00 residents are running out of water and relying on water tank as he areas. reservoirs,
12:06 am
lakes and dams have dropped to critical levels. the linelle of mckinsey rainfall has been below the annual average since 2015 march saw no rain for it all for the 1st time since records began. so it's a very serious situation that you've been in the put, allow ayana's beat, but you are fighting over the water, the trucks arrive and people don't respect the line. is chaos in our neighborhood is sad, or what can we do? we need a miracle correspondent, money. rapid james's now from mexico city minute scene of the drought in northern mexico is causing the taps to run dry in the city of monterey. that is the heart of all of us. tell us more about how people are accessing water. it's a dire situation for many, many people marion. the efforts underway in northern mexico to provide water. our
12:07 am
base basically consists of providing water tanks and water shipments to areas of the country, especially in the northern part of mexico that are most severely being affected by the drought conditions. but experts overwhelmingly have told us that that is just simply not a sustainable solution. what's needed is rain, the word that we continue to hear consistently from experts when referring to these persistent drought conditions is historic. now, in the case of monterey, the state of rebel, they own in northern mexico. there have been some rains in recent days that have provided some relief to the drought conditions there, but it simply has not been enough when we visited monterey just a few weeks ago to report on the ongoing drought conditions what we kept hearing was reference to the weather phenomenon known as linear, linear as known to disrupt traditional weather patterns. in the case of northern mexico, this is meant that rains that were supposed to begin in may simply never came. and what little red little rain has been falling just hasn't been enough to compensate
12:08 am
for what's been lost in these dams. and in these reservoirs. now, mexico's president and there is one way lopez, over the border recently visited the state of neville. they own, he promised to continue to provide federal resources. just last month in july, the president had declared a national emergency to allow for federal resources to be provided for water to be distributed to the parts of the country that there are being most severely affected . that emergency declaration also allows the federal government to order bodily and companies like coca cola, heineken and other beer bottling companies. beer companies here in mexico, ordering them to reduce the amount of water that they're consuming and order and order them to reduce the amount of water that's being extracted specifically out of the regions of northern mexico. where this crisis is, is most acute. we should know that this is not just happen in one region in mexico, roughly 65 percent of the country's territory is suffering moderate to severe drought conditions, droughts, the drought is taking place in the united states as well across the border. mexico
12:09 am
just last month recorded the highest temperature since 1953. so these extreme, he conditions certainly are doing anything to help the situation. thank you. 90 rapid mexico city bucket sounds by minister shabazz sharif as we visited areas west hit by weeks of flooding. cause i rattled breaking once in reins. hundreds of people have died and hundreds of thousands have been displaced. and he say they're not getting sufficient help. hi force it reports. this crisis is lost in weeks, and it's not over yet. the worst monsoon rains in 30 years inundating vast areas of land and hitting pakistan's poorest province baluchistan the hottest. hundreds of schools and thousands of homes have been destroyed here. across pakistan, hundreds of people have died and hundreds of thousands have been displaced. struggling to reach some kind of safety to find some kind of shelter. we like

12:12 am
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, and one of the only thing left is 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 and 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 sudan, as floods have devoured all of what local residents here have. they 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. receding. danny river is

confined to their homes isolated from work by for many women in rural afghanistan a year since the taliban took control italian hughes way was one of russian interference out of september's nap election. and it's all, it's out africa thrash england in just 3 days, and the 1st cricket test, ah, the ones extra journal internal good terrace is in ukraine. southern bought city of odessa to review the shipments of grain cargoes being exported under a deal brokered by turkey in the u. n. last month. it allowed for the resumption of ukraine's grain exports from 3 ports. several ships, including a un charted aid vessel bound for ethiopia, have left since then to raise a bo has more now from odessa. over 500000 tons of grain have already been exported from here since
12:15 am
a landmark deal was truck between russia and ukraine with the help of the united nations and turkey last month. and this is the place where you're on your terrorist visit to guarantee and to monitor how this whole process is ongoing. he said that access to food and fertilizers must be guaranteed access to russian fertilizers, but also to train you and for what he says that much more needs to be done. and that he hoped that the amount of food that is being exported from ukraine will increase from $3000000.00 tons a month for around $5000000.00 tons. amongst another issue of major concern that's happening here is the situation around the nuclear power plant of a sub 40 show. back in march, russia took over that area, established a military base. and there's been lots of fighting and shelling going on around this area. there's a lot of concern that the plant could be damage and that's why the international community has been demanding that international monitors are able to visit. that
12:16 am
part of the country. also ukrainian state nuclear company announced that russia was getting ready to unhook the plant from ukraine's grid, and tanya will carry denounces, and this is what he had to say. what is true is that if he did, he said eyes, as we propose the plan. the problem will be solved and obviously, the electricity from the 40s here is ukrainian electricity. and it's necessary, especially during the winter for ukrainian people. and these principle must be fully respected. so there's been a big debate about how they said by international inspectors should happen. why russia saying that it should happen to russian, so ukrainians, benighted nations are thing that it could happen through ukraine, even though it could mean going through the front lines during a telephone conversation between french president
12:17 am
a minute microphone and russia president value me to put in be agreed of the need for a v inspectors to visit the plan and even a freshman loving me to full being said that he was going to reconsider whether you would agree or not. that could change his mind and that the instructor would go through ukraine in over development says upper region power plant has been of international concern for weeks now. it's under a rushing control, but it's operated by ukrainian staff. it's been repeated shelling causing fears of another major nuclear disaster brochure is ignored cause demilitarize the plant pull. ingram is a senior research associate at cambridge university, specializes in existential risks and explains the possible dangers. those 2 key areas of concern. one is the reactor itself, which is well protected with concrete term protection around it.
12:18 am
this is designed for impacts from civil act croft and the like and. and the shell is unlikely to penetrate that to any significant degree. having said that, damage to that, to that protection, could be quite serious in the sense that continued continued damage could, could compromise the, the safety of the rate of the reactor and lead to a leak, which would had significant impact locally, not necessarily across europe. we're not really talking about turnover type situation, but there are more vulnerable parts of the site, including the spent fuel pounds and, and the supply of power and electricity. and if there is a hit, then we could see a chain reaction. i mean, in the sense of a cascade of problems which could lead to a failure if the plant. so there is
12:19 am
a real significant risk in a situation where the workers are under a huge stress. and where in the folk of war it's very difficult to maintain control . so i think it's very important for both sides to see the seriousness of this situation and to halt offensive firm at attacks that could compromise this. this power plant ela levels have been for explosions, reported near a russian ad base north of sever stapo in crimea on thursday night. moscow says the bloss cause no damage but warned that it marked an escalation in the conflict. have been several explosions and fires at military bases and weapons depos in russian annex region. in the past few weeks, washers bind at least one of those on saboteurs, russia annex crimea, from ukraine in 2014 out of afghanistan. and it's been a year since the taliban takeover. women in the country are struggling for their
12:20 am
rights outside the education health sectors and not many jobs available. women have been relatively able to move around in cities. but in rural areas, there are strict rules and cultural practices that are keeping many of them at home . some are bon jovi, reports from campbell thrift is businesses nearly come to the hold finding a living from making traditional close them home to cross is no longer an option that's really small. businesses have gone bankrupt in addition to sanctioned them for the methods, the bible and reversal of women's sport dissipation and society has further hindered the floor of age to have learned a thumb freshness, struggling to keep up morale for her 7 children whose education has suffered for years 1st, because of the pandemic, and then the taliban takeover una answer their care. it's been one year that they have been promising and haven't done anything. we haven't seen any results. girls can't go to schools and women can go to their jobs. women in cities complain of
12:21 am
harsh restrictions from face feels to remedy that tire and suspension of many public jobs. the balaban government says it is implementing islamic law. the ministry of. 5 vice and virtue has replaced them in a city of women's affairs. there are some them in who's been appointed by the founder. been who don't think it's just tokenism. gov can on amazon and amazon. i am saying that women can't go around the city or do their jobs freely, isn't accurate. i still have female staff working at this hospital, female doctor the doing their jobs as in the previous government. besides, doctors, other female personnel are also working in some government department. 3 quarters of bonds live outside the cities. and most of rural nathan is traditionally conservative, not spared with all of bonds. biggest support base comes from neither for is a teacher. and despite her brothers being unemployed in this government, she supports the taliban. i'll she says the majority of women in of law nathan beer,
12:22 am
what she calls the he job in their own way. and that's an afghan tradition. what a pallet bon drool! wouldn't most women from of understand look at you and hear you and think that you've been brainwashed and this is not what most removable understand want h deleon should not meet on our you know, we aren't brainwash trauma. i teach the koran. lamb is given rights to women like inheritance, education to become a professor and anything they want to be hard. if we go without the he job, it's against the crowns. and if we have muslims should follow the crime. and officials of in accused of using excessive force, men women protest, they in turn one room and organized protest after seeking permission. and they also site safety and security of concern. but to achieve that, most women of nathan will have to trust the taliban. and that's unlikely, while most schools for teenage girls remain closed and promises to uphold women's
12:23 am
rights, are not put into action. some of a job down to the era, gobble away that allows taliban officials to travel outside of afghanistan expires in a few hours. there is an international travel band in place, but the un provide some officials with exemptions. there's the deadline approaches . some security council members want a full band brought back christian salumi as more from new york sanctions against the taliban, including travel restrictions have long been a thorny issue for the security council. they were 1st imposed back in 1999. related to the groups sheltering of al qaeda. the council made exceptions in 2019 to allow some members to travel outside of the country for peace talks. but since the group took control of afghanistan last year, some council members have argued the waiver should be conditional on the taliban respect for human rights, particularly the rights of women and girls. the un stepping spokesperson for the
12:24 am
secretary general summed up the dilemma. some of the members of the council appointed to the benefits of allowing them to go about a travel for diplomatic work, including for example, to the doha, you will have seen what the contribution of the, of the process at doha has as made in terms of the wider dealings with balaban at the same time, we've clearly expressed our concerns about the, the dollar, bonds own records and, and their failure in, in recent months to, to uphold out their stated commitments to maintain the status quo on human rights. including in particular, the rights of women and girls, china back by russia, has argued that the waivers are as necessary as ever given the dire economic situation that afghanistan finds itself in. but diplomats tell us that other countries have been pushing back led by ireland. they want to re impose travel restrictions, at least in part italy's main newspapers,
12:25 am
a warning of russian interference out of september's general elections. the articles are in response to comments made by former president to meet him, invaded a junior appearance to punish what he called as stupid governments. the government of outgoing prime minister. my drug is condemned russian invasion of ukraine and provided key with military on humanitarian support. druggie resigned in july after his coalition partners rejected in a conference vote meant to heal divisions in parliament. well, an alliance of right wing policies is widely expected to win september's election, which could change italy's foreign policy with a potential shift towards russia front. ron is an opinion polls almost 24 percent support brothers of italy led by georgia, maloney said they, they support ukraine and nato despite opposing most european policies. but there would be coalition parliament herself vinnie's leave, as long openly admired russian president lodge in the persian. in 2017,
12:26 am
the party signed a cooperation agreement with cushions united russia party. and there are allegations of funds funneled from russia to the league while silvio berlusconi who had fords. italia has been a long time friend of patients, boasting trips to each other's holiday homes and joint commercial interests. was celia emma solita is assistant professor of global politics at the american university of rome. she joins me live now. first of all, how seriously do you take these allegations of rush interference in the upcoming election? so 1st of all, it's the piece of news that has just been published. basically d and the tele, i'm part of mentoring intelligence community has just confirmed that actually there are indeed certain situations happening that point to a desire by russia to interfere with politics. for instance,
12:27 am
there's an increase in the number of my friends who are leading from lead yet towards each other. and this is thought to be part of a deliberate effort by the russian federation to sort of wreak havoc in the country . but department or intelligence committee also warned against other sort of techniques of hybrid war for such as cyber attacks and also the diffusion of fake news. so i think that the, the threat is really real at this point. it does. how does the current political turmoil in italy benefit russia, particularly if the election results in those political leaders who are close to more sure and support for pushing in the past being able to form a government? so 1st of all, we must say that naturally, as you also mentioned, my drug was a clearly,
12:28 am
i mean it expressed his intention to have italy absolutely, citing your brain and with nato. so of course, putting must've welcome to news of drugs resignation as a positive development, right? i think that the attitude of the 2 of the political parties which are part of the right wing coalition, it is for tonya and the visa b. russia could potentially be a problem for the coalition itself. the coalition, which is formed by georgia maloney's party brothers of italy for the dahlia and league, it's pretty, i would say aligned in on many issues. but the r b a u. a teen this relationship with russia, it's something to do to maloney right to distance herself and her party wrong. so i see a potential problem for the red wing coalition. right,
12:29 am
so your, your questioning whether they will be able, that will be a fully fledged fall, right? government and it's the because the, the internal cohesion among these different groups is problematic. yes, the 3rd with nissan is problematic. but also, and this specific issue, russia is sort of creating a problem for, for, to call the ship and the police in the south trying to reassure the public. and of course, is relies a saying that they are for lee, sort of located in the western wrong with the nato. but the concern, of course, remain. what about the challenge for democrats in the left? are they going to be able to reach disaffected voters who might have been peeled away to support populace movements all day people that just might not bother voting a tool in the election in september?
12:30 am
i think that if we look at the debate, it took place in the past few days regarding the list of names that the democratic party has prepared for the election. i mean, there's a high, i think, in my opinion, there is a fair chance that many people will abstain rather than go for, you know, for the democratic party, so which is perceived as establishment by a disenchanted public. thank you very much for joining us. assistant professor at university of i'm cecilia emma. so t lata. thank you. thank you. to that flea on this. he's out from london. reco floods force entire communities from the homes in new zealand, south island. we'll have that. so i i bought him at the new delhi with football players, i facing an uncertain future of defeat a band,
12:31 am
india violating its root. ah hi there, good to be with you. well, we're keeping tabs on that vigorous line of storms that we saw through corsica, northern italy, hand into southern portions of germany. let's remember, it was a year ago we saw devastating flooding western areas of germany that caused tens of billions of dollars of damage. and now that line of storms pushing into the balkans are short. it's going to do this is a full out cold front. you go from $29.00, down to just 17 degrees on monday, a few days ago about $35.00, almost a drop of 20 degrees within a few days off to iberia things looking pretty good, but temperatures on the way down for lisbon. so we'll squeeze out one more nice day and for the other side of the mediterranean, looking good looking nicosia. 40 degrees. we've got some showers for turkey is ne,

12:33 am
country that is learning how to be a democracy by this map. bear. yeah. one person, one vote on al jazeera. ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
12:34 am
reminder where the main stories are following on this news out. china is in the grip of a record breaking heat wave. it lasted more than 2 months in a long distance. meteorological records began tribute trees of the young c river drying our crop said dying. the livelihoods of millions of people are under threat . extreme dry weather is also causing problems in mexico or severe drought as hit the northern city of monterey. it's 5000000 people are running out of water and relying on water tank as 40 say, the situation that is desperate. the ones are true general on to new good terraces in ukraine, southern port city of desert, to review the shipments of grain several ships including a you uncharted aid vessel bound for ethiopia, have left ukraine's port since the un and turkey broke that deal or floods in new zealand have forced hundreds of people to leave their homes. the city of nelson has been hit. the hardest,
12:35 am
further evacuations were issued on friday of to $75.00 centimeters of rain fell in the space of 3 days. cat, your lopez, her day on, has wor, it could take years to repair the damage caused by these flaunts days of heavy rain . have battered parts of new zealand, south island. some areas in the city of nelson are unrecognizable. on the ground, the destruction is extensive. roads are blocked and officials have closed schools. entire communities have been for settled, their homes would sunder cleared, unsafe or simply uninhabitable, is basically just caught ups. and then we saw the girls rotting stretchable property. so it just left a property. it's about $815.00. i said to motto at 10 this morning to our service duration, it's pretty about city officials warn, there is no time line for when people will be allowed to go back home. we will be
12:36 am
taking a prudent approach and i'll make no excuse for that. i would rather we take the, the property and lives of people as opposed to allowing people back. and i cannot unfortunately guarantee that people will be in the houses again today. nearby towns have also registered record levels of rain. what we experienced this was probably the most increase in water flow in a river and we're saying 100 years more rainfall is expected, along with warnings, with more damage. cuts here a little bit of a young police, nicaragua, arrested a roman catholic, bishop is become an outspoken critic of president. daniel ortega, orlando varez, was detained at his home, which has been surrounded by police for 2 weeks. authorities accuse him of inciting violence. president ortega recently launched
12:37 am
a crackdown on descent within the church and its charities. asters at montela grey is a supervising advocate for phoenix. rog, when american human rights alliance shows me now from los angeles in california, have you had any more information on the whereabouts or the, the condition of bishop on varez? we have had news release, a press release from the national league, which states that he had been transferred to the city of managua, which is the capital. the other 8 people who are arrested with them. also parishioners, of the church and cleric were transferred to a jail and we do not have any official report from the church of his condition. or if it were about, what do you make of the way in which this happened. it wasn't just a straightforward arrest. his home was surrounded by government security forces. it
12:38 am
was besieged and their reports that they didn't have enough food because no one could even know deliveries or anything. what was allowed. this is clearly an example of the repression that has been going on for years and and it's just focused on the catholic church because it is a boy that stands for humane can condition them the humane treatment of others. so the government is trying to silence those voices and our msr was on house arrest for several days before this was done under the cover of darkness. and in clear violation of several treaties that protect the human rights and religious breeding to which many countries are saying that there has been tension between the church and the government in nicaragua, for a while now. is it now reaching new levels?
12:39 am
absolutely. there is clear persecution, again, members of the catholic church, we have the case from several years ago. we're in mission by was for into exile and he is now living in florida. and we have 3 create who are currently political, prisoner, and the current situation with her and just elated to the point where the government can no longer deny religious persecution. and in most people, in nicaragua, the majority of population are catholics. but what about the president? what do you know about his family and his sort of complex relationship with the church? or it is a complex relationship because when they started their revolution, they promoted atheism and they were at odds with the church. however, they were able to renew time throughout their presidency and have been
12:40 am
able to established certain liaison or allies. i would say within the church is that the church has remained adamant and roll keeper of humanitarian aid and a keeper of protector for managerial. right. of the people and that aspect, the government or daniel or the the church of an adversary. all right, thank you very much. astrid montela gra, from the nicaraguan american human rights alliance. thank you for joining us. thank you. a go to iraq. now i follow is as the leader and what todd rel. cider of gathered for friday, pres earlier on in baghdad. green zone, they're holding said fast in their 3 week long protests outside parliament refusing to allow politicians into the building. 10 months after a general election. iraq still has no government because of disagreements on forming a coalition onward up to why it is in baghdad with more on their demands as you can
12:41 am
