flooded streets there and assemble, killing 2 people. and the other 2 also swept away from the camp site and the northwest st is robbie has the details. a city of walls, cars are washed away like bits of debris. heavy rainfall and floods are battering a region emerging from the european union's largest wildfire just on right. extreme weather patterns, the big prime minister says, become the know the. i think everyone realizes there are certain, with a phenomenon that are beyond our capacity to handle no matter how many flight prevention tools we have when an unprecedented volume of water falls, which happens everywhere in the world. we will unfortunately have flooding. i am hoping that me to, i was just on the right, but we know we'll be facing some difficult hours at emergency services are spread thin and over. well,
12:03 pm
survivors are becoming desperate. nobody can we called the fire department, the municipality, the pre fixture. there is no one cause of already been switched into the c. we will move on to date. we have been talking to emergency services and to 5 departments since morning. and this completes in different people with small children address. you're asking for help. similar scenes in neighboring folk area, the black region, normally a hub for tourist now and inhospitable disaster zone. the vast areas are in a state of emergency, and evacuations are underway, pampered by damaged bridges, and closed roads. the resort town of so river was hardest. 5th and was predictions of more rain. people are moving to higher ground. in 13 years, at least 2 people were washed away when the flood water swept through a camping site in the northwest. other holiday makers are missing. search and rescue operations are underway in east on bull heavy rain flooded streets and homes
12:04 pm
and at least 2 suburbs. the disaster management agency says more storms are predicted in parts of the country and has issued warnings for flash floods, lightning and strong winds. forecast or say a heat over year is causing high temperatures and resulting in extreme phenomena that can last for days, weeks, even months. this they say could become one of the worst floods in europe in recorded history. same bus. robbie says here, well joining us now on the line from athens, the great capital is correspondence on throughout the us. john, it sounds like bolts and p. o and central greece with the hardest hit. how if people they're holding up. that's right. the storm seems to fit very hard on increases the east coast, about 3 hours of a 150 kilometers north of athens. that's where the 2 confirmed casualties, an elderly man, and an elderly woman,
12:05 pm
and now being reported with another 2 elderly men, reported missing. and it seems that they were just washed out. the old man was found on the beach worst out to sea possibly. and the elderly woman was found outside her house. it's. it's being speculated that she may have been so long by floodwaters as well. the, the, the damage is still far from being assessed, and emergency services have locked down the safety of all us. we are told and the on the mounds, p on which sits next to it is also i think, positive that to lock them. but there are no details emerging get from the pharmacies on what the damages and indeed what the final casualty count will be. but uh, one good thing that can be said is that this isn't an area that's recently suffered
12:06 pm
from forest fires, so hopefully arose. so it arose and, and damage to the natural environment will not have been insurmountable indeed. and we're looking at pictures that from loss of, of the dis, the destruction that's been left behind john's rock list there for us, but the latest from athens. thank you john. well, let's not get the picture into kit and speak to a correspondent. russell said he's in assemble for us as soon as we've been saying these waters and some of the areas there in particular was very, very quickly in d. did. it was quick southern and very much on a fact that since this part of the summer just had this, the governor of the stop loss by these area receive 125 kilograms walter of the rain within 2 hours per square meter. and as a result, you can see that several cars looks
12:07 pm
a lot of the water. and now we can see that the teams here are still having the frantic affords to clean off the surroundings here. this, this simple, this bumble debbie's, famous with its furniture manufacturer that are part of the home. but as for the shops here, that they produce the furniture and savvy themselves in terms of the companies that most of the world. but now we can see that by the kinds of his shots are they were trying to create an assessment goal. so you see on the way here just i'm looking to be like, oh i was talking to that. how does a jump is all the furnitures? yeah, and you said that there are just in these here we are medium boulder or 50 meters.
12:08 pm
yes, the damage is assess here. just to understand what happened last 2 hours or or this was almost like a research year. so just imagine that it's roughly 2 meters. so imagine how big it is that is that speed that you got dental, cuz this is just one of them. the some of the other 3 is that they can see the same pictures time as a result. 2 people have died because of the toner, but that now go forward. these are seen on one hand cutting off. on the other hand, the assessing the damage here really remarkable result of seeing just how high that volts in god's i see the authorities are also saying that, but it isn't of the, the crisis isn't potentially be because the
12:09 pm
weather is, is quite so i'm none of the, the, the weather for just was showing that some of these we do receive that most of the reading for last night. it happened strange enough in this part of the song. many, all the rain. so that's why it's very much on predictable level. of course, some other issue, particularly with the samo, is that the furniture is not sufficient. this for were populated, every year visit is receiving probably around $400000.00 new residence and both for these many people died. sports movies would mean that is not going to be enough and not going be in a sample in the sample. so the sooner the central and i told you should be seeing the black sea, even north west of the comfortable. so the flaws doesn't happen constantly due to
12:10 pm
the unexpected weather due to the unexpected region or the weather. yes, sort of these are very much cautiously of what mean does it can happen anytime soon, i guess or so sort of as showing us around the optimised in istanbul. thank you very much for so well. speaking all of extreme weather african countries among the west affected by those patterns, i can use the president is saying that climate change is really just the easing away at economic progress on the continent. when we usually manage those comments at a climate summit. and i really be ask in countries have received a new fraction of the funds promised by wealthy nations to help tackle extreme weather. catherine. so it has went out from that summit in the canyon capital is one of the issues that many people are talking about is climate change. how often can you, we climate change and find on seeing when it comes to issues that affect
12:11 pm
the most this piece and we must undertake climate action and green growth with these understanding fair, international financial architecture is not an unfair position to make so many dedicates and most of them say that's been this justice and warranty is that when it comes to financing climate change, a lot of people here saying that this is a step forward offered cost cost nairobi, let's bring in olivia run the, she's the director of the consultancy climate legal which focuses on climate change call the markets on the environment. she joins us now from cape town live here we've been hearing a lot about how the summit judgements impala african countries to provide a space to press one more funding,
12:12 pm
but then also frame it within the vulnerabilities they face. has this actually change the conversation? i think so, and it's an ongoing conversation so that coming someone comes just in the lead up to would come 28th but also funding on multiple meetings from, from various african ministers and, and heads of state that have taken place throughout the year, trying to position a narrative and take fluid, various negotiation points as 2 months before it's including the g $25.00. it's an altima, jacob $28.00, the end of this year. and i think what is big trying to achieve is to be positioned public. the section that advocates is not just the victim of, of climate impacts. and as you, you're actually mentioned in the beginning, but also a huge investment opportunity and has a lot of growth potential when it comes to renewable energy. and we know that
12:13 pm
that's going to be a focus, a cup $28.00 at the end of this year. so i think the summit gave elizabeth boost to that living and talk about an investment opportunity as the loss of talk at the summit of carbon credits. i know william utah has been talking about how countries should think of that for us and common things as an unparalleled economic gold mine . is there a danger that this potentially becomes a financing mechanism for desperately needed funding, but that removes the urgency for which the countries to actually take more action on carbon emissions of her. and i think that's a valid criticism minutes. it's typically being an issue at this particular assignment. i know countries have been discussing it then it's, it's a focus area of the not ready to can ration, which we might see towards the end of today. and i know, so i understand that sort of society was protesting against thinking of common markets within this. and that to get rid of this particular assignment, it's a difficult one. i think, you know, where i,
12:14 pm
where i usually advise governments is that common markets are one component of, of a very complex with a multi faceted financial ecosystem. and so there's common pricing as well, club and taxation. there's recollecting measures that you can take, there's a legal challenges that the engineers can take to pursue, to force government to pacific measures. each of the merits and disadvantages. none of them are perfect. and i think african countries do stand a lot to benefit who, comp and locker tonight. i think the system is actually acknowledged, particularly the international standards that they want to improve the credibility and integrity of the standards. and they want to buy a kind of nationality based lines. the methodologies behind that was a lot of work going into. and so it's, it's not a basic system, but it's, it's involving one of you, you mentioned the opportunity for a cleaner energy. obviously, the continent does have this opportunity to try to meet from technology,
12:15 pm
so to speak, to maintain the choices going forward. is that the well within governments to do that and also to be individually held accountable? it's a good christian and i think we've been talking about african, the programming and the technology and the types of development and possibly some of them. what about countries have this started followed? this would be the 1st of its kind. i had done a good speaking yesterday just a degree in the west we. we can give you a blueprint of what this looks like and, and it's, it's up to us to did collect to the, to support history, this process. and so, so we are asking a lot of african countries to develop, they come economies in a way that no country has ever done before, at least or 2. so is it possible is a political will for sure. i mean, you'll see that kenya is trying very hard to lead the way when it comes to
12:16 pm
renewable energy. a number of african countries are following suit. but understand to be there. there are just fiber priorities around ending poverty of dealing with data, making use of at domestic resources available, such as gas and as opposed to hydrogen and, and there's a lot of demand from developed countries themselves for this free resources. so it's a, it's a given take and i can appreciate why it's, it's a big continent. there are a lot of countries that each their own and variables when it comes to natural resources and what they can and can't exploit of how and so i understand that we will have their own positions and will say what i think it is in, in my writing declaration, very much space to today and levia rumble the director of climate legal. thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and insights with us here and how does irrelevant
12:17 pm
let me just because he are moving on and as rarely forces of killed a palestinian during fighting in the city of jericho any occupied westbank. israel says a female soldier was wounded during the violence. meanwhile the u. n. one sees radio authorities to investigate. another incident that took place in hebron last month. 5 palestinian women were reportedly subjected to abuse by female soldiers who forced them to take effect clerks during a search on the north of the occupied. west bank is rarely forces have carried down to rage on the city of janine. there were reports of gunfire as thousands of on the vehicles moved through the city. the palestinian alex and nonsense brigades says one of its leaders has been arrested while that speak to pull, brennan, he's in ramallah in the occupied westbank full. i believe this was a brief but rather heavy andre than janine suddenly. yeah. some of the 2nd one in a week, which kinda is raising tension. he sent me here in the occupied west bank. the
12:18 pm
right itself began just after 9 and was all over by around 10, but nevertheless, the brevity of it does not undermine the importance of it. say, is there any forces arrested? a senior lead uh, within the i'll accept brigade, that's the ongoing of fafsa. his name is mohammed, nadia. he's well known to the authorities seized, sent multiple prison sounds for various shootings, weapons offences. but at the same time he's also um, played a role in the palestinian authority, secure as an intelligence process. so it shows you the blood line sometimes that they're all in these part of the world. and i'm coming so soon after monday's raid in the same area of janine that raid targeting, how much offer it saves within the janine camp. and there is a growing tension that 2 months after the big raise of july, the big right of july,
12:19 pm
the tension is ramping up again. and i put, well, no to caution on that. the, the impression that we have certainly here in ramallah is these are more opportunist rates, perhaps acting on specific intelligence to arrest specific people. but nonetheless, the fact that these really ami goes in, in this manner, raises the attention of paula as he related to the tensions feel like a mounting across the occupied west side with several incidents. should we make anything of them? well, suddenly the number of people killed by his ready forces in the occupied territories is now fast approaching 200. i think the latest count was 197 as of this morning and the memories of that july 3rd right into the janine camp of reasons and very roar indeed 15 palestinians lost their lives. none of them were fighters, more than a 100 people were wounded in that protection is ready on the operation. and the lot as you say that the, the tension that that puts into they've already strained relations,
12:20 pm
but also in so the way that the palestinian far as he tries to liaise and govern on police the janine area itself increases the tension doesn't make it easy for anybody in this, in this particular part of the well pull brennan, the with the nation as far as from ramallah in the occupied west bank. thank you very much. in gabon, the gentle leaders are releasing a number of political prisoners in the capital neighborville, south dakota transitional president, recently getting grandma gone to them. i'm the state during his integration on monday for that's bringing a corresponding nicholas hockey. the process for us from the senegalese capital dot com, nick general and graham a really feels like he's underlining how different things are of the ending the bone go dentistry. that's right, and it says that he seems to be putting word to action by freeing all of these political prisoners. there will be 3 of them, the former mayor of people who need
12:21 pm
a high official from the bunker regime. and this union is very famous unionist in get bone. joe m e m a who came out from prison after spending 2 years in detention for being critical of all the bone go saying this is a new beginning for the country. and well, there are people being released from prison. there are those that are being arrested. hundreds of them, close associates or allies to the bone, go currently under detention. and then we're, we're being told being interrogated as the minister of oil and gas develop complex as to who appear for many of it needs to be above the law. a man that's in charge of a big portfolio. remember, good bone has exported $6000000000.00 of oil last year. where did that money go? will be the question put to to him. meanwhile, there is president water from the central african republic who's in the country, trying to mediate an end to this co saying that the needs to be returned to
12:22 pm
constitutional order. and that all the bulk of needs to be freed themselves. yep. nick, i say the general ingram is also met with the opposition leader that any talk of when we should expect the election as well. we don't even know what the charter of transition is. so there's no indication of the dates of and you election or what his plan moving forward is however, we can see we can see that he's trying to dismantle the whole bongo system. the bunker dentist has been in power for the last 55 years. and that will take time, of course, and, and it's interesting to know that presidents wider out well if he's still in the country right now. his main objective is not necessarily to bring back all the bund, go back to power, but to find a safe way out for him and his family to be released. there's also soon a sylvia won't go. and his son, newer dean, who is a key player in the government. now they've been accused of high treason. we've
12:23 pm
been told that the bone go is being kept in his presidential policy doesn't access his phone. he doesn't have access to his doctor. and, and there's real concerned about his health. so that's the main objective of president towards europe. but say mike, which is the regional body, has come out and has condemned the cooley. there is real here from neighboring countries, such as cameroon, where paul b has been present since 19, and a 1982 or a or president obama and equitable guinea that this contagion of cool could spread . but the template of cruise that we've seen in former french colonies in this a hell is very different to the one that we're seeing in gabon. we're seeing that police or the gate in grandma is still and remains a close ally to france. the former colonial power that has numerous military bases on the ground. anybody else does have nicholas hoc across that for us from dock out . thank you very much, nick. i was speaking of curious. i knew that france is reportedly and talks with me
12:24 pm
. he says only now about the possible withdrawal of some of its troops and thousands of protesters have been running outside the french military base and the capital we on a truly does that have an ongoing funds to withdrawal from 1500 feet stations in music. and also order the french mass of it to leave power so, so far, refused saying it doesn't recognize the joint as a starting ukraine says at least one person has been killed in the odessa region of russia, launched a missile and wrote an attack early on wednesday. you create the military says the aerial bombardment on the new port announced of ours and damage our cultural facilities used for green exports. firefights is had to baffle several fires in each mile district and export. have the on the new bertha on the full melisha of the american far ride group, the proud boys has been sentenced to 22 years in prison and re k. it is tarry or his punishment as the most severe of anyone convicted of involvement in the january

12:26 pm
of the guys that are in there for as adjacent stuff they're going to be in there for a while. they're political prisoners and i'm more worried about them and i was worried about myself. that tune change after tarheels may trial in which a federal jury convicted tar you and 3 other proud boys leaders of seditious conspiracy. tarboro told the sentencing judge on tuesday, then january 6th was a national embarrassment and said the trial had humbled him. the judge gave tarry, o 22 years, the longest of any capital, riot conspirator, while respect the judges sentence, we respectfully disagree and vote. we respected adobe a day and a time where the appeal will come and we expect that the appeal to come soon. taro flashed a victory or peace sign as federal marshals led him away to prison. and another proud boys leader who have been sentenced last week said he hoped to trump would become president again and pardon him here. there was
12:27 pm
a serious attempt to stop the peaceful transfer of power and it's a hallmark of the american democracy. and i think there's a lot of concern among government officials, especially with president trump out there, still screaming about election fraud that we have a new, another presidential election coming up in 2024. and we want to make sure that we don't see a repeat of 2020. the us justice department has charged more than $1100.00 january 6 riders and says it continues to make new arrests. heidi joe castro, elda 0. washington to the crisis in myanmar lanes high on the agenda, southeast asian need is needful. the 2nd day of the c on summit in jakarta, on tuesday, lead has decided that me on laws military will not take over the groups, rotating leadership in 2026. they also condemned to the joint as attacks against civilians and said they had been leveled progress on the peace plan that the ministry agreed with the block months of to seize and control in 2021. during his
