10:02 am
described to us what's going on. that's what we're seeing. widespread. the flooding, at least 20 lines slides, and it's begun overnight calls disappearing into the sink holes macro stations, comp hawks, even shopping moles, under water, entire roads and villages cuts off some chaos on the roads today with the transport and people being swept off that feet down roads, some stuck in, i call the knights of his wading through knee. deep volta and arrows like fungi professionals. now a, a just meeting the press. and they've decided that this state of a lot will continue to at least midnight. that's another 9 hours. it certainly is the longest black rainbow winning, we've had the same as 14 on dallas, and we just received them a call. it says that it's one person desk who has stood near the seat. it was taken to hospital. so this is the most meaningful hong kong is saying for a 139 years,
10:03 am
at least since that quotes began. seemed about 2 parts of rain in the past 24 hours . um, it could be more but that so as far as the observance of treat website measurement goes up. um, it's a, it's a, it's, it's, it's going to continue fall into the evening. it seems we thought a lot continuing till midnight. we're just looking at the pictures of the absolutely incredible how people dealing with the coping with it so closely on the heels of that type food and last week you people are a bit more prepared. i think for the type thing last week and the government was congratulating itself of your job well done. now this seems to cool people bit more by surprise chief executive john lee on facebook earlier urging people to stay home, saying that he's mobilizing all resources to respond to the situation, provide assistance to the affected address, but he did go get a lot of push back in the comment section with people saying that the government is
10:04 am
just less prepared. so this, it was dave that's doing fine. the government attacked so cool. fake news. i mean claims actions and just of the boulder was going to release a lot of rainbows to following that type thing. it did actually happen midnight's, which is 45 minutes notice to hong kong and only 16 minutes. notice probably, although government officials have just said, uh that didn't affect the flooding situation. nevertheless, local scientists, you know, avoiding the climate crisis needs, bringing these kinds of more intense, uh, where the situation is, especially to coastal cities like us. out of course we've had the stock exchange close schools, close offices, close hong kong, obviously a big financial global hub. what sort of economic impact are we talking about here? it yeah, this tends to call see the 16000000 loan and the damage costs, but of the economic loss is when everything shuts down. suddenly all the schools
10:05 am
are shut today. although there's no law in place to prevent employees bringing that stuff and um, doing the type thing when we spoke days ago and i was 0, we were talking about how to pass on congress specifically whether incredible infrastructure, 2 weeks time, the specially flipping side of the you can see such chaos today shows you've had extreme. the weather was some experts, a nice thing, supercharged tie, firms that going to be occurring more often during the year. so the warning signs are very easy to see as hong kong is out of all this morning. and just week since the, the u. n. cheeseburger assignment breakdown has begun. scary stuff. okay, thank you for that. tom grum, the editor in chief of hong kong, free press. okay, well at least 6 people have died and several others are missing during heavy floods that hit grease 100 small have been rescued from flooded villages, electricity, gas, telephone,
10:06 am
internet lines. so we'll down shopping to say it could be months before they could reopen. the water was coming down slowly in the cape, suddenly in a torrent it was about 50 or 60 centimeters high. we grad send bags and would to protect the business. but there was little we could do in front of me, but it's been more than 20 years. and something similar happened. the local authorities need to clear drains, canals and rivers. let's go to our corresponding jones or a place who is now live for us in new tre, passes in greece. john, this has been going on for some days. now. what is the latest in terms of rescue efforts? i mean, where we are, of course it's quite close, as you can see behind me. that's because we're on the mountain side. but all around us in the valleys, villages are being flooded, even as we speak last night, the waters of a river that runs through the central festively rose. we're told that they are now
10:07 am
at 9 meters above uh, where they normally would be uh, without heavy rains. and this is a 5 meter increase on where they would normally be after a heavy rain. and that figure shows you, i think just how different this down pool has been into similar storms and heavy rain falls in the past in this area. so people have been evacuated overnight. that has been military operations. ongoing. susan, nice and it's close. now the helicopters now that it's daylights, are operating again, picking people off the roofs of the houses. and lots of villages are being evacuated as well because of to several villages flooded without warning. in the area of got a visa in the separately plane. that's active. there's a warning to other villages lying further east. those are now being event created as was, is a still advancing and rising towards the main town of that,
10:08 am
especially plain of light is where a lot of people spent a sleepless night waiting for government warnings to evacuate. the also what told us works has been moved. that normally would have kept the rivers and canals in place in order to ease the outward flow of the waters from where the now concentrated were told that the fire service has received well over $6000.00 calls for rescues and has performed at least 1800 rescues this week, but this operation is still in full swing lily. there is no sign that we're urging the end of the swelling of the waters and the flooding of villages. and of course, the material damage and the number of victims still remain to be determined. we do know that 6 people are currently confirmed dead, an 8 missing, but we expect that number to rise and so on. what is the feeling on how the
10:09 am
government has handled this crisis this? well, the government did throw in all the emergency resources at its disposal when the state of emergency became quite clear. and for that, no one is i think, faulting, the government, but people we have heard complaining about the lack of prevention, the lack of foresight, clearing storm drains, clearing tarrant, beds which need to be maintained in the summer time so that they're ready to accept large quantities of water in the winter because that is the nature of pretty equip, uh, that can be very sudden down pause that need very sudden and quick evacuation in order to protect inhabited areas. we've heard people say that to some public works infrastructure works. what properly designed like roads, for example, with the inadequate passages for water underneath. all of that i think will be
10:10 am
coming into the political discussion in the coming weeks. but in the meantime, the prime minister has decided to put himself forward into the line life and will to day travel to the town of light is the heart, the capital of the essentially plain, which is greece is breadbasket. and uh there, i think he will face criticism, but he is at least showing that he's interested. the government is laying on all of the facilities and services that it can. and he's going to show concern. but when he does show up, it'll be interesting to see how people react to him. lily jones, i've list that for us in north dry baptist in greece to me, 65 people have been killed in an attack by an alms group. in molly report, say that the fights is target to the boats, caring civilians between the town of gal and mop t, into him. government says,
10:11 am

10:12 am
the rent for moody this event is politically important to him with elections head you early next year to, but diplomatically, the summit is a challenge for in the last months break. somebody's in south africa, china as president, she was sent to stage, but he's not coming to delhi. when i know this told me many and india perceived that as a deliberate snob, the season of the chinese government present, she's not coming to india. this clearly shows that the relationship is really di. so there are serious problems in that relationship and relationship is obviously not normal. and india and many and the listening via also look at that, you know why he's not participating. because china does not want to see a successful each one of these nominated india since he was issued an arrest warrant by the international criminal court in march, president vladimir putin hasn't gone anywhere outside russia. apart from visits, the territory and ukraine that his country occupies. he'll be represented by his
10:13 am
forum and is this a lot for off in deli, the war and ukraine will not be the main issue on the summit agenda, but it's obviously the key fob klein in international relations around google right now. at last is g 20 summit to bali. the indonesian host debt pre agreed to communicate which condemned the invasion but said not the whole members agreed with his position. this time though, for on minutes the lab, ralph is rejecting such language and threatening to completely block the final declaration. that will be a symbol of the g. 20 is paralyzed and the world will divide that by the slogan for this use somebody to is one of one family, one future. the reality is appears though it's a very broken family. the kennels agree on that future. james bay's i which is 0. you deli to north korea is unveiled what it's quoting, a new tactical nicholas attack submarine leading him don't attended the on veiling
10:14 am
ceremony. the diesel electric power, the summary reports of the has the ability to 5 i'd conventional and nuclear weapons, state media, se the vessel as part of fuel on young's efforts to strengthen its naval force and speak to florence. lew. wait, who isn't sold for us? florence say, what more do we know about this new submarine offering from north korea? what reaction has that been to it from so well, we know that north korea has said that the submarine has been assigned to a fleet that's going to patrol the waters between the korean peninsula and japan. and kim jong has said that he intends to convert the country's existing state of something millions into new care armed vessels. now state media did not describe the something marine's weapons system. but analysts having studied the photos of
10:15 am
the submarine, say it appears to have to be in a certain way and that's modified from an old soviet erode model. and some of this even said that this summer reading would be quite vulnerable when deployed and may not add to much value to north cris existing feet. what's more interesting though, is what software has said about this vessel. it said that it, as it believes that this vessel is not fully operational and that it appears that the signs that north korea is intending to deceive or at the very least, exaggerate its new care capabilities. what we do know, however, is that north korea has in the past, testify it submarine, launched the ballistic missiles as well as something re launched cruise missiles. what we don't yet know is whether or not it has fully developed technology that will allow it to minute to rise. nuclear warheads that can be mounted on such themselves. and what do we make of the timing of the announcement of this submarine? because it's a head of a very key anniversary for north korea, isn't it?
10:16 am
that's why the timing is very interesting because on saturday, north korea celebrates it's $7050.00 a, as a nation. and normally it wants to have big achievements in conjunction with this anniversary. but this year it has tried and failed to launch a satellite into space that also reports that there is a series food shortage in north korea. so this something to reimburse launch of those new submarine i think is intended to show that north korea is still a force to be reckoned with. and it's also against this backdrop that we see north korea establishing close millet tree ties with russia. there are talks about that reports that north north korean leader, kim jong and is going to travel to russia possibly to talk about in arms deal with russia. he's going to possibly meet with the russian president vladimir putin. and of course, the concern here in south korea is that if this weapons deal,
10:17 am
what to take place, this could possibly lead mean, but south, north korea in return for supplying weapons to russia, could be getting technology that would help it advance it's nuclear weapons program . so roughly the 1st in sol. thank you. a sl has on al jazeera, why delays or attend to democracy in guinea, pushing more people into overtake the the world of high frequency. shad trading, exposed time is ended and that was basically trading. i couldn't last $30000000.00 was a terrifying experience. how on sufficient intelligence as rates for stakes and rates on the money markets, as markets go faster and faster, we're opening up the possibility for an instability for no money box

10:21 am
was just a month ago and an undeclared cease. fire ended 4 to 5 days of fighting, but they did not resolve the crisis, which we understand from the fact that movement is the latest round of violence was because an agreement was supposed to take effect this morning, where arms fighters were supposed to vacate the 8th owner, while i run schools, these are schools run by the u. n. agency that provides assistance to palestinian refugees, arms fighters were using these schools as military bases. but according to father, that's one of the warring sides. the muslim youth, the groups who operate under the so called muslim youth, refused to vacate their positions. and that's why we had the latest about of violence that undeclared sees fire reached at the beginning of august was really never no one really expected it to hold. because the conflict was not resolved that round, the violence was triggered by the assassination of
