like to come and do seattle easy on. if i need to go, i'm on the drive on and reinventing cost on a new series of africa, direct on how to say around the us is always of inside the people, right. the world people pay attention to this one here, and i'll just see this very good the bringing the news to the world from here. the founded slights and it relates while saw smoke from canada and 6 tens of millions in the united states, the, until mccrae, this has helped us here life. and, and so coming up,

you're trying to and rusher accuse each other of showing emergency workers. and the further discuss on reach in the at least for children into adults are injured in a nice attack in easton from i'm gabriel's on the in new york where the tribe becca film festival kicks off with a record number of women filmmakers. that story coming up, the equality is reaching dangerously toxic levels for us to die and fonts have been disrupted on the us east coast by smoke from canadian wildfires, then bound funds to new york and philadelphia were affected. equity eludes, have been issued in 15 us states. the file has originated in canada with more than 400 us still building the canadian governments. this is,

this is one of the west by seasons on records. more than 20000 people have been forced to leave their homes. defies particularly intense in the province of quebec . kristen salumi has moved from new york. it is the 3rd day of air quality alerts in new york. you can see the manhattan skyline behind me. i'm actually standing in new jersey and it's still quite hazy this morning feels a little bit better than it did yesterday at its worst. you don't taste the smoke when you breathe in the air, but officials are warning. things are going to get worse as the day goes on and it is, the air quality continues to remain at elevated levels around uh, 15 other states in the northeast of the united states as well. uh, you know, for new york, new jersey where i am here is having an impact on outdoor events in new york city, all outdoor city sponsored events were canceled. schools had

a pre schedule day off today, but elsewhere here in new jersey for example, schools are not having outdoor events that's continuing as well. and the big impact now is on air travel. as you mentioned, the flights in to new york. uh, seeing delays to uh, in some cancelled here in new new jersey. the newark airport has now canceled all inbound flights because of the weather conditions and because of the lack of disability because of all the smoke in the air. and so the impact on people continues. ellen's tissue is in washington dc with how the smoke is affecting things there. what new york go yesterday we are getting here today. it's moving down the east coast. so the likes of philadelphia and baltimore in washington are going to be impacted. it's going to stretch as far down as north carolina, which is virginia is the next deep down,

and then north carolina. so you can see just how big nidia this is covering its impact to go into your quality and area. quality is measured on a scale from 0 to over 300 a normally, if it's under 50, does it things are pretty healthy and it's good if it's about 200, then that's you to be very unhealthy at the moment in washington. it's around 320 so you can see just how high of the pollution in the is caused by these fires. and as you say, lights have been impacted at laguardia. there was a growing stop at philadelphia, there was a growing stop. the have been lifted the problems that new or the 3 airports around washington expected the experience delay. certainly there have been delays in la guardia and new york new. what about the lease of on average 35 minutes, but some flights were delayed up to an hour and more. that has a huge impact throughout the rest of the country. because here in america, a lot of people don't just fly from one place to another. they're normally on connecting flights, so that becomes an issue. and in schools, well,

no one's getting out for recess is because they have no one's going for their, their break. all the children are being held in doors after school activities are being canceled because the air quality is no great. and in new york last night some theater shoes were cancelled at that could be initiated here in the coming in coming hours as well. the kind and russia are accusing each other of hampering if it's to evacuate people from the flooded castle in the region. shelling and casualties have been reported on both sides. the agency teams, the searching areas flooded off with another couple of catan breached on tuesday operations have continued and ukrainian and russian controlled territory despise because it's all about salary. 5 shells drafted isn't coast on with the lightest this evacuation effort is seemingly still a long way from completion. and in our estimation, certainly,

it seems as if the river has risen in certain areas over nights. um, it looks to be approximately a similar kind of level to in this area that it was yesterday. we estimate that in some areas, you know it's, it's still around so the full meet his date could actually be deeper. so yeah, as i say, the situation here still, you can see people being brought in on a boat that has this not much effort to get people who want to leave the buildings out. we've been looking at the initial stages of this relief campaign. this huge, great evacuation happening, the suffering that the city has injured and this is all package. there is a sadness that pervades these floating streets. too. soon off the rushes invasion of song was attacked and then multiplied by russian forces. and now launch aries at the city on the water. many of the people who were ton delta,

the stabilizing influence of the region, including its support for terrorism and violent militia groups, the seizure of tankers transiting international waters and nuclear escalation. united states continues to believe the diplomacy, backed by economic pressure, by deterrence, and by strong defense cooperation, is the best way to capture these dangerous actions. we support efforts by saudi arabia to de escalate tension and stabilize relations. saudi foreign minister addressed the 2 state solution for israel and palestine. and we believe that the normalization is in the interest of the region that it would bring it significant benefits to all up without finding a pathway to peace for the palestinian people without progressing that challenge. and the normalization at will have limited benefits and therefore i think we should continue to focus on finding a pathway towards a 2 state solution on finding a pathway at,
