a tough stories. 0. russia's invasion of ukraine has domination, the world's largest diplomatic gathering at the united nations general assembly. they just from europe, the america's and africa demanded an immediate end to the wall. that's partly to blame for devastating global food crisis. russian control regions of eastern and southern ukraine to announce the whole referendums on joining russia. this week it comes with key was counter offensive gains, ground against russian forces. and an independent investigation is found that the killing of sharina work lay by israeli soldiers in may, was deliberate, as ruled out the possibility of confrontations between israeli forces and palestinian gunman. engineers in the occupied west bank at the time. or can funeral, continue to gain strength and threaten lives as it rips through the caribbean.

residents have been ordered to take shelter on the turks and caicos islands as a storm lashes the region with heavy rain and strong winds. harkins left a trail of destruction in the dominican republic. kidding. at least one person also cause one for damage and not talk power in puerto rico where it needs to people have died. my mother apollo has more from louisa, a municipality in puerto rico, has been badly affected by flooding. this is the eastern part of the island of puerto rico, flood waters from hurricane fiona, have begun to subside. but as you can see behind me, there is still water on the doorsteps of many of the residents of this community. some of the worst flooding that we've heard reported has occurred in the southern part of the island of puerto rico, were rivers and streams spilled their banks causing damage to rhodes and causing collapses of bridges, cutting out power for thousands of residents. there are still many, many people here on the island that don't have electricity that don't have running water. authorities are working to quickly restore power to the whole island to

restore running water, to people across puerto rico. we also have heard from the us national hurricane center that says that hurricane fiona continues to move northward, very slowly bringing heavy rain and wind to the dominican republic to the islands and turks in keiko's. there are tropical storm warnings issued for the bahamas. the hurricane center, the united states is also said that the as a storm continues to move north, north east, it is expected to continue to gather strength, though it does not pose any threat to the us. mainland is too early to tell if climate change has influenced hurricane fiona. but in general, global heating has made harkins wet, windier and more intense storm and also moving more slowly, letting them dump water in one place. in the last 40 years, the ocean has absorbed 90 percent of the woman caused by greenhouse gas emissions. auction, this is contained near the water surface which can fuel storms, power. climate change will also make rain for heavier. warmer atmosphere can hold

war more strip, letting clouds dump more rain when they eventually break in the 2020 atlantic season. hourly rainfall rates were boosted by 8 to 11 percent hurricane, also hitting land earlier. the start of the season has moved up 3 weeks in the u. s . to may. in south asia, icons forming as early as april before the monsoon and the hitting new areas which don't have the infrastructure to cope or can sandy was only a category one store when it slammed the northeastern u. s. in 2012. that caused $81000000000.00 in losses. that's the 4th cost is hurricane in american history. it's a pilot wound by 2 degrees celsius above the pre industrial average. santa's predict a 10 percent rise in the occurrence of the most intense harkins as well as wind speeds. a world is already 1 point one degrees hotter. kevin read is an associate professor of atmospheric studies at stony brook university in new york. he says the link between climate change and the severity of these types of harkins is becoming

clearer as the ocean ocean warmth. and there's more energy in the ocean. that's a, that's the clear link to climate change. but also that's the clear link to how storms get their energy. so we know that storms over warmer water will be stronger and produce more rainfall. and so we're seeing that in the north atlantic in which the temperatures in the north atlantic are warmer than they would have been without climate change. and therefore the storms, particularly those that dump a lot of rainfall are dumping more rainfall than they would without climate change . when we look at the trend in the fact that we've seen this over the last few years, we can say with, with virtual certainty that we'd anticipate that these storms to get wetter even more in the future. as the ocean temperatures continue to rise, what we are coming more and more conflict in is that when we do have these events, right, that when they do make landfall, that they're going to be more impactful because of climate change. and i think you

know, hurricane fiona, this the past few days is a perfect example of this. it's been a relatively quiet season so far. but all it takes is one storm to impact multiple islands in the caribbean, and were reminded that climate changes here in iran, widespread protest continue with the death of a woman after she was arrested by morality police 22 year old massa. mimi was detained, violating the country's conservative dress code, just as demanding an investigation into her death and what morality police to be dismantled. radiant officials say 3 people had been killed during the protest. the u. k as cost of living crisis is back in the spotlight after the funeral of queen elizabeth. the 2nd country's new prime minister list ross is under pressure to avert a deepening economic crisis in the wake of the war and ukraine and soaring energy prices. the fokker reports from london morning queen elizabeth on an industrial scale requires a huge amount of kit. and now
