the head of the presidential elections in october, which still is generally an in depth coverage to 0, is when you close to the last of the story, the up to the hearts of september ever recorded, pushes the planet dangerously close to the benchmark of 1.5 degrees celsius above pre industrial levels, the at 1 o'clock, this is out to 0 and life and a whole. so coming out ocean water is creeping up the mississippi river, the source of drinking water for more than a 1000000 people coming up the u. s. government efforts to keep the salts at bay
8:01 am
the united states, tens of thousands of weapons sees from around to ukraine and a move that raises legal questions. on an ancient raymond cemetery is discovering garza but israel's blockade is making excavation more difficult. the so now new figures reveal planet experiences. health is september ever recorded. last month's plummet. sanchez's done by the numbers september was nearly one degrees celsius hotter than the average compared to the past 20 years. and 1.8 degrees warmer than pre industrial levels. the climate monitor calls it an extraordinary jump. it shot to the previous record by half a degree that is the largest increase in average monthly temperatures ever seen and follows a summer of heat waves and well 5. so on to say it's now all of a sudden the 2023 will be the hottest you ever recorded. the you climate services
8:02 am
for the year to date, temperatures of 1.4 degrees halted and pre industrial levels. the closest we've ever been to the one of the hosp degrees of threshold sets in the 2015 pass agreement. let's type this on. we can speak now to kimberly reid has an atmospheric scientist must university and joins us from melvin. kimberly, we really are talking and extreme rise here is quite startling. this next. yeah, absolutely. i mean, we expect global temperatures to go up each year with global warming, but the amount they've gone up compared to previous years. it's got scientists scratching our heads and it's really quite phenomenal. there are missing mitigating circumstances on but not least el nino and its impacts and pacific, which has an effect on the the global weather system says little bit about that. yeah. so we expect only know used to be hotter than i think he is generally. and that's because a lot of the heat that's been stored in the ocean, it's gets transferred to the atmosphere where we as humans,
8:03 am
can feel it. and so the last few years have been let me use, which means they've sort of damp in some of the lip, a woman. and so they've been a bit cooler. so the 1st on the new year after this learning, it has been a bit of a shock. but what's concerning is that the amount that this particular new year has was compared to previous years. it's still much higher than previous only new years . so 2016 was the strong arming year and that was about $1.00 degrees above pre industrial temperatures. whereas was sitting at about 1.4. so, i mean, you alone probably doesn't explain why we're experiencing this rick code words and such, do have another theory. and that's because of when we release greenhouse gases and through industrialization, we also release what we called aerosols. and these a tiny particles that can reflect incoming solar radiation and actually help cool the planet. so as we d colonize, which is of course,
8:04 am
a good thing. we're also taking out this mitigating fact of aerosols that have been helping to cool the planet. so right, we will be right back to see a bit of a job. yeah. it really complexes. yeah. they the contra effects of everything at the bottom line is emissions isn't that we're heading towards 2023 being the hottest. yeah. on record. and there is no sign that the world is doing what it needs to do to prevent it getting was, it's absolutely the fundamental close of all this is still rising greenhouse gas emissions. and although we might reach 1.5 temporarily, we still haven't failed the pass agreement. the pass agreement refers to a sort of 20 or 30 year average above $1.00. so there is still a chance to meet that, but we do need to rapidly turn around out emissions and start increasing rather than increasing a global competition. so you're saying that it's kind of front to them that we will go over one of 3 celsius at some point, but it's the long time thing of making sure it doesn't happen in the long time. it
8:05 am
is critical. absolutely. i don't think any scientist is expecting as not to possible. i'm point 5 at all, but what we're hoping is that we'll pass 1.5, but we'll come back down by drawing cabin out of the sea. and every degree that we can reduce the woman, it's going to be beneficial and going to reduce the negative impacts from top and emissions. given these startling statistics that we're hearing today, how would you say that the world is positioned and, and the, the effort, the may by global leaders or not to get things on track. how would you say with the well, the set i think that has been a big lately to try and cut emissions. i know where i am in australia, the government is planning to announce some new you reforms. and then at the us as been announcing your phones and chime is doing a lot of great work, 2 slots renewable energy. so it's, it's no loss to get. we just need to do it
8:06 am
a lot faster and we need to stop digging up new coal. and you guess because we just don't have the common budget to keep digging up new, new fossil fuels and we need to rapidly swap to renewable energy, but i don't think all hope is lost yet. i, kimberly just grades get your expertise and then that list is pretty straight back to. kimberly read from might not university. thank you. a well, taiwan has measured rec, cold wind speeds of to type fluid co new back to the southern parts of the island. gus of 350 kilometers and now we're reported, but the weather system is expected to we could as it moves across taiwan, millions of people to be in order to stay at home on thursday. at least 14 people to confront who have died in floods in india is northeast and see can states and other 102 people, including 22 soldiers, the missing heavy rain full cause, a glacial lake to overflow. residents of being evacuated from the homes of the several bridges collapsed. a mass of salt water from the gulf of mexico has been
8:07 am
building up the mississippi river for weeks. it is a threat to communities are dependent on the river for safe drinking water and to farmers who were line. it's to irrigate that crumbs the mississippi is the 2nd longest river in the united states. it flows from minnesota to res yanna announcements of the gulf of mexico. here as all the engineers say, the salt water which is already moved around a 110 kilometers on the river. we estimate that by the end of this month, it could be as far as a 160 kilometers in that high. did you, a castro reports? now from noon rivers normally flow into the ocean, the drought has weak into the mighty mississippi so much. that salt water from the gulf of mexico has creeped more than 100 kilometers up stream. already sold has contaminated the water supply of rural areas closest to the rivers mouse within 3 weeks. it's projected to reach the new orleans area and it's 1000000 people. mobil desalination machines are not enough. the us army corps of engineers
8:08 am
is moving fresh water to impacted communities. this barge is essentially a floating, movable tank that brings fresh water capture from up the river to the side where the river water is already too salty. pipes transfer water from the barge to a water treatment plant. we're able to provide up to 2 and half 1000000 gallons a day of river water for them to actually treat and be able to actually send out to all the area residents. engineers are also raising and under water dam to slow the salt water is advanced toward new orleans. finally, as its last defense, the city plants to build 20 kilometers of pipes to deliver fresh water from upstream, russell monterey, the retired general who led the emergency response to hurricane katrina in 2005 says new orleans must adapt to climate change. we're not going to leave the city as i don't think there's no need to talk about evaluating the city. we will fix this.
8:09 am
all industrial base will stand up and we will get this done wherever ice machine. but we can use down river of new orleans, restaurant owner, byron, the rid of it is into convinced he says his water has tasted salty for months. very, very frustrated, very frustrated. i mean, it kind of makes everybody feel a little a band and his neighbor, 83 year old, new employment has spent a small fortune on bottled water for paying for drinking. i. i might go 3 all because the, the water not not to go ultimate lead. rain is the only thing that will flush the salt back to see until then people are left to make do, and pray for the drought to end. hydro castro alj a 0 new orleans louisiana. the
8:10 am
united states has confirmed it, has transferred, sees um that i munition from a wrong to ukraine. the u. s. navy captured weapons last year when it into set to display this vessel. it said the ship was carrying supplies from around to 50 rebels in yemen. washington says the navy has been stopping of vessels used by round to ship weapons throughout the export. as a question that the legalities move, but the us insist the transfer was carried out lawfully pentico. hi. as more now from washington dc, the $1100000.00 rounds of ammunition might sound like a lot, but experts say looking at the burn rate just how fast to create the military's going through munition. this would maybe supply several days of ammunition to about 2000 machine guns. the justice department did do a court filing when they moved to take these weapons from a rad is listed other equipment that they've confiscated. naming 9000 rifles, 284 machine guns, 194 rocket launchers and over 70 guided missiles. now,
8:11 am
pedagogy won't confirm this, but it does seem quite possible. it's not likely that those will also be sent to you pretty soon. that was the one issue with these weapons as they're really old. so analysts say they don't expect them to really even be used on the front lines and maybe not necessarily changing the course of the offensive as of right now. now, as the state department at the white house, they were asked repeatedly, is this even legal in the legislative language authorizing the department of defense's ukraine security assistance initiative, which they of course, i'm sure it would be happy to speak to you more about the secretary of defense is authorized with the concurrence of the secretary of state to make available to the government of ukraine, weapons, and other defense articles from the united states and other sources. and this obviously is one of those other sources obviously changed into focus there on what the legal in the united states. now we did ask united nations for comment and they
8:12 am
didn't have one technical hang out to 0. washington, thailand's new prime minister as being judged to revise policy towards memo, not the recent fighting between rebels and me and most ministry government that has been of the shifting pow entire states along the border with thailand, rebels have managed to push the government troops out of some areas as time to try and narrow thoughts, the rebels places in the jungles of se them in the unseen enemy ground troops from brigade, $6051.00 of the most notorious divisions, mazama. but the rebels have had some success in recent months to an r to narrow. yeah, you want to check out unity among the resistance forces, right. important. now we have it. and it's the 1st big winfrey. this includes a model. we believe we can achieve independence for creating state. after that, we will also try to help fight for other areas in our own across kaya state, also known as currently, the harassing me and most military. this tom act road is one of the main supplied
8:13 am
routes for the army. now it's being mined with improvised explosive devices. oh i d's the simple but effective rebels have had to none fost. uh, military background in law. we don't have any military background in telling us that the people involved in the spring revolution didn't come from a military background. everyone has different experiences and different ambition back on a lot that we had to take up on. because we cannot tolerate the situation long as she did strategic areas close to the board with china rule so fully under rebel control. over the summer baffled, raged in the town to mess safe and nearly a month before the ministry withdrew. now the bodies of government soldiers lie where they fell and the death us. but those successes who created another problem. this was the police station in messy with the government forces took the law stand . now the rebels have to maintain lower in order where we control, we have more than $200.00 that people are wrong, including idp,
8:14 am
and these people i'm going to go about doing their own business, because then they are living they've who loved the home and uh, based on that, we have to provide the rule of law and there remains a constant threat from the, with control slipping on the ground, mia mazda miller, trees relying on the apple helicopters and find the jets unchallenged. and the sky mean the tactical gains that difficult to hold strikes the don't discriminate between rebel fighters and civilians. tony chung, out to 0 european union lead is or on the ways with somebody in canada, in spain, as by jones offensive and the car back region migration. and you expansion will be all higher on the agenda. sonya diego looks it. what's the stake against the backdrop of this city fain to being one of the greatest centers of european is womach civilization. and for fostering
8:15 am
a sense of coexistence between communities. european union leaders a meeting to discuss ongoing issues as well as leaders from the european political community. but they're already signs of strains of a differences of opinion. the precedence of as life as on and media have already cancelled plan talks since buck, who's takeover of the new toner car, about region. european diplomats had hoped that they would be some movement on certain key issues. even fostering perhaps a broad up peace treaty. but that's now been postponed. there's also the issue of sweden's entry into nato, tacky and hungry have yet to rectify that, tracy, in that respect to parliament. and that's of course not forget the issue of immigration, the italian prime minister, georgia, maloney has been very vocal over this issue. especially over the recent spike of arrivals in undocumented migrants from the north african coast. this has been an
8:16 am
issue that schools have been playing out in eastern europe as well with poland, slovakia, and hungry, restricting them to reduce and limits the amounts of on documented people arriving from the balkan routes. the decision to restrict movement between these board as well as the ongoing anti immigrant rhetoric from sudden leaders is costing a shadow over the events, making it more difficult to encourage an atmosphere of tolerance here over the course of the next 2 days. so anyway, yeah, go, i'll just sarah grenada, a still head hearing out 0. i'm just actually popular in paris where the french government's to collect a war on fed box. and india is just installed at small goals, impressive collection of the asian games, or something. just the
8:17 am
in a world where the news never ends. understanding what's behind the headlines is more important than ever. it takes listening to the people behind the news and to the journalists reporting their stories. it's that intimacy that makes every international story local at heart. i'm only can be the host of the take a daily news podcast powered by the local reporting of elders here. find us where ever you get your pod cast. as hiring sensation in women slowly, both is highly in trailblazer pilot a go new stands up to racism. and though to challenge her identity and would allow anyone that doesn't know how it is to wake up every day and fight for something you're truly believed to think that during the away from me or the strongest land, no matter what comes to you, you take it and you get and you can keep going because it wants to be the best generation,
8:18 am
thoughts on how to 0. the, [000:00:00;00] the kind of gave you what, you know, the 0 or one of the top story is this. uh and if it goes reveal a ton of experience, it's hard to september ever recorded last month for she usually close to the benchmark of one and a half degrees celsius above pre industrial level. climate scientists. this done by the numbers in 12023 is on course to be the hottest. yeah, that's a record wind speeds of 350 kilometers in are being measured in taiwan. talk soon, back to the southern costs beyond the millions of people to be noticed on the
8:19 am
united states has confirmed the transfer of caesar reigning weapons to ukraine. us naval forces say beyond that, i munition were captured last year from a ship that was carrying supplies to the rebels in, you know, japan has released more treated radioactive water from the focus she by nuclear pumped into the pacific ocean. first batch was released back in order to submit widespread protests. take care says release is safe. jim smith is a professor of environment and science supports with you invested in england and explains what's being released a main road you out to the element. but in the waste water, so pushing is a thing called tritium, which is a form of hydrogen, but it's radioactive. and what happens is that the water is being treated to remove almost all of the other right here. active elements, but face is trickier to water left. so what happens in nuclear reactions all over the world is a small proportion of the water that passes through the reactor gets at changed
8:20 am
into this thing called pretty active water. so instead of being h $2.00, oh, $1.00 of the hydrogen's in water was replaced by the radioactive form of hydrogen, which is tricky when it comes h t o. not com be removed from the treatment process because it's a chemically identical to ordinary water. so it can't be chemically distinguished, and that means nucleus sites all over the will discharge the small amounts of radioactive, tricky age and water into rivers. oh, lights all the same. and that's what's happening at so appreciate that. now, the world health organization and drinking water limits for tryst team is $10000.00 barrels per liter, so about 7 times higher. so in theory, you could drink the water that comes out of the pipe, fine. and of course, this is happening over the place sites all over the world as sites in the u. k. the image, it's about 9 times more tricky a to water into the irish se then. and then the focus, shame a release. what we do into the pacific ocean as
8:21 am
a site in front of the switch to is nuclear reprocessing. which what it's about $450.00 times more tricky them into the english channel. every year, the mitsubishi and the release will do into the pacific ocean. so this has been going on for decades and hasn't caused any significant radiation dose is either to people or the environment. a residential construction project in the heart of dallas that has led to an archaeological find a roman cemetery taking about 2000 years. but these ready blockade is make it more difficult for archaeologist to access to discovery even outside of this report. it all started as a typical building job. bulldozers were working on the construction of a special project in the jamalia neighborhood of northeastern gaza. but as construction workers, doug to laid the foundations, they soon discovery the piece of history that has astonished archaeologists,
8:22 am
and historians. a roman cemetery believes to be more than 2000 years old, although not the 1st. the historical context of this finding makes it extremely remarkable. so far, 134 tom's at least 2 leads to our casa guy, and very mature burials has been discovering the discovery of the lead. so tough a guy is a rare case of its kind of 1st gossip. french archeologist renae alter, believes more, could still be 1000, seemed to be put to spotty. this summit trait is a small part of the entire archaeological heritage because of straight, you know, you have to imagine not being tired. gaza strip, at least along the coast, is a huge archaeological site, which means that today that is a real danger. as soon as that is a new construction site,
8:23 am
we risk coming across archaeological remains, in the presence of the romans cemetery and gaza indicates the once thriving commerce and cultural ties between this region and the roman empire. this discovery is more than just an archaeological achievement. a window into a world long gone and the testament of the ancient history of the gods. this trip and the people who lived here flooded and halted as a palestinian archaeologist, who leads the excavation team. it's a project funded by to purchase government and implemented by a global n g o. but he says the team is severely lacking in resources and financial assistance. this presents a huge challenge from basic excavation gear to proper preservation facilities. i don't know, but as the in gaza we're facing great difficulties due to the lack of continued
8:24 am
financial support for our 2 logical discoveries. because gaza is a rich historical city. so this area must be taken care of. but the is really occupation and the lack of financial support for our geological, excavations, limit the ease of access to a new computer. so this is the question sasha, or the pasha palace for all the artifacts and top findings are being preserved and displayed. but israel's years lump locate of gossen means not many outside years will get to see yet it also presents international archaeologists from exploring and learning about it's rich history. you may see it else as 0 goes to stress, to around 75000 american health care workers have joined the picket lines in the latest labours tried to hit the country, employees from kaiser permanente health insurance and hospital system, a demonte and prove working conditions and to pay us 100 tons. this report. the
8:25 am
largest strength by health care workers in history is the latest any year of labor uprising within $75000.00 kaiser permanente employees begin a 3 day strike on wednesday after overnight contract. talk space for working full time and then we're working overtime. and then we're working double time. most of the striking employees are in kaiser's home state of california, where union workers unloaded t shirts and picket science workers in virginia, the district of columbia, colorado, oregon, and washington state, or also manning the picket lines. the strikers include support staff such as x ray and lab technicians, sanitation and pharmacy workers, not doctors or nurses who say they are underpaid and understaffed. in order for us to be the premier employee, we have to have a premier pay employer as well. the company is offering raises of 12.5 to 16
8:26 am
percent over 4 years and says it's higher $22000.00 workers so far this year. and it's nearly mad in a green, gold or higher $10000.00 union workers this month. some workers say that's not enough. i work for this company for 26 years and we are in the worst state of staffing that i've ever seen in a statement. kaiser said the 2 sides are still at the bargaining table after working through the night to reach an agreement with kaiser warrens that for the duration of the strike. non urgent procedures will be post punk. ours could be reduced and phone wait times could be lengthy. the kaiser workers join a spade of ongoing strikes by the screen actors hills, the united auto workers and other youth distracting kaiser workers are expected to be back on the job next week. john henry l. g 0 the french government describing to conference about an infestation to bed bugs in paris. it's a major concern for international visitors and for the government ahead of the 2024 olympic games. patasha butler reports not from pars the powers is one of the wells
8:27 am
most popular tourist destinations spotted some allegedly being inundated by some unwelcome visitors, bed bugs, calling in public transport. and some cinnamon, hotels, and homes are, you see there's maybe even 15 of them in the lots of really tiny ones. with less than a year until the powers of the big games. the french governments on the pressure to eradicate the default. once we have to take each case seriously and not fall into a panic, and we need to make it clear that there is no upsetting but we are responding and checking each case of the law. some people very well all taking the child says sales of antique bed products and the city has risen by 30 percent of all it's true that we've been hearing a lot about it on the radio and tv. so i prefer to buy the products and prepare my flat, just in case it's not any parisians who are worried about bed bugs. some international
8:28 am
visitors are also concerned about what they might take home among the thousands of rugby funds or in front of the world comp i'd be concerned. so we just need to keep an eye as i suppose. i'd be a bit reluctant to be sitting on seats for i don't need to be sitting so spend on the mitchell. i'm pretending it's not happening because our hotels fine right now. but we have had a friend from home text us and ask us whether we've seen bed bugs, bed bugs, all know to leave of human blood. they bite schools, itching scientists, say washing, take salt and high temperatures, using steam. in fact, human can get rid of them. see 16 mit good. we cannot if you do this miss sorta clea and meticulously you've decontaminated your room and just one moment that's fragile socrates. step up the battle against bed bugs. the hope is the people in paris will be able to sleep tight. i know that the bed bugs bites. natasha butler.
8:29 am
i'll do 0 power as it is because track and field is done. the right job pro has won the 2nd gold medal, the engine games in the pre champion truck. incredible safety 8.88 meters to secure victory. i think he's got a helper has now one every major job in title at some point in his career. under which some reports from how you a familiar as tougher as before. when says a key parts in a i think a story really for india and for the international olympic committee. india, looking at putting a bid together to host the summer olympics in 2036. and the amount of interest that shoppers creating this home country is really getting that process some moments. and as to the i r c. well, that desperate is efforts to try and get as many views as they can in a huge country. so for example, was gonna be meeting it in the lights room this month from should see cricket confirmed as a schools as early as the los angeles olympics in 2028. a special for these eyes in gainesville. he's retained his title with the seasons. best throw,
8:30 am
i think soak into the funds of india journalism savvy. he signed a problem, a sort of impact choppers. performance is a having this funk is about a journey that will lucian and india. if you go to hinterlands like guy states like harvey on up and job, they have a, well, you're generally, but use all your books and you and because of arresting, jumping back on the young kids are trying get heads and getting they had been registering dances and juggling mutual friends with them a little bit to what it started be useful worship creators. but now there is one place and there's one either too broad, or we always shipping one another, all time greats of track and field. and it says as of ocean, a castle was an action of the loads this stadium winning the high gym, busy so often does. it's the 3rd time now he's one of the asian games title. he's also a 3 time world champion. remember, there was the extraordinary scenario, the olympics in tokyo when you shed the gold medal with his great friend and rival, it's these general card, some battery now finished,
