when he was a state gets, and now he's in france. i think a lot of this has to do with india's economic growth story. some of it has to do with prime minister modi's diplomatic style. perhaps some of it has to do with the rate convergence between the west in india in the context of the emerging targets in the indo—pacific and how the sides see each other as partners as china rises and challenges existing partners. rises and challenges existing artners. ~ �* ., rises and challenges existing artners. �* ., partners. we're looking at some life -ictures partners. we're looking at some life ictures of partners. we're looking at some life pictures of modi _ partners. we're looking at some life pictures of modi speaking. - partners. we're looking at some life pictures of modi speaking. he - partners. we're looking at some life pictures of modi speaking. he said l pictures of modi speaking. he said earlier that this partnership is a force for global good. he'll go on to later engagements throughout the day. what has china in —— inadvertently played a role in it the developments between these ties? i certainly do think to some extent.

i certainly do think to some extent. i think there has been a change in mindset about china in last parts of europe. they have seen germany, for example, coming up recently with the new try to strategy. it reduces the economic dependence on china. it means india becomes more or less a destination of choice for a number of european companies and countries as they engage with one of the largest economic powers and as india's emerged as one of the fastest growing major economies in the world, perhaps the fastest. i think in that sense, we are putting india as an opportunity at a time when china is becoming a challenge. i think that certainly is the case, but in this particular case, we've also seen india and france particularly, france has been a long—standing partner. this particular relationship means along

it needs to now diversify its defence partners and diversify rest rapidly, there is an acceleration of the process of diversification. we saw a number of deals announced when mr modi was in the white house, and now we are looking at this defence partnership expensing with france. it is now being extended and accelerated because india wants to move away from russia, giving the kind of challenges russia is facing with the war at the moment. professor harsh pant, thank you very much forjoining us from delhi. from making friends in europe to shooting for the stars. making friends in europe to shooting for the stars— for the stars. three, two, one, reload. for the stars. three, two, one, reload- -- _ for the stars. three, two, one, reload. -- zero. _ for the stars. three, two, one, reload. -- zero. earlier- for the stars. three, two, one, reload. -- zero. earlier today, | for the stars. three, two, one, i reload. -- zero. earlier today, an indian rocket _ reload. -- zero. earlier today, an indian rocket blasted _ reload. -- zero. earlier today, an indian rocket blasted off- reload. -- zero. earlier today, an indian rocket blasted off for- reload. -- zero. earlier today, an indian rocket blasted off for a - reload. -- zero. earlier today, an i indian rocket blasted off for a moon —— the moon to land a rover on the

around the region. the company running the plant says the water will be treated, diluted for safety before discharge. here, all radioactive compounds will be removed except one. it will be well below international safety standards of concentration. this fish is swimming in water at the same radiation level, is that which will be released. translation: i am a radiation expert, so i know that this has very little effect on the human body, and indeed in organisms. we are all concerned about radiation, and that is why we are so anxious. i hope this will help to richer people little. but fishermen _ help to richer people little. but fishermen are not reassured, they're

navigate the way to which troubled waters. shaimaa khalil, bbc news, fukushima. if you look at the temperatures around the world today, it's as if every alarm bill on earth is ringing. the heatwave is continuing in europe, where temperatures are climbing. countries have seen some of the highest temperatures with the heat expected to break records next week. this is athens, where red cross ambulances have been helping people struggling in the extreme heat. the ancient acropolis closed its door for few hours to protect visitors. this is croatia, where wildfires have broken out and are being spread by high winds. they're also heat warnings across neighbouring serbia. in italy, red alerts meaning a threat to life have been issued for rome and nine other cities. it's a similar situation in the us. the southern states are

sweltering. more than 115 million people are under some form of heat warnings. phoenix has experienced 14 days of temperatures at least 43 celsius, and it's forecast to serve fast it's 80 day record of over 43 degrees heat next tuesday —— to surpass. with these types of heat waves, we need to learn how to adapt. let's discuss that with lisa skipper, a professor of development geography at the university of bonn. thank you forjoining us. many parts of the world are seeing weather patterns that are completely unaccustomed to. what are some of the ways that climate change forces communities to adapt?— the ways that climate change forces communities to adapt? adaptation is this trocess communities to adapt? adaptation is this process of _ communities to adapt? adaptation is this process of adjusting _ communities to adapt? adaptation is this process of adjusting to _ communities to adapt? adaptation is this process of adjusting to the - this process of adjusting to the impact of climate change. now the impacts and also in the future. it typically includes a lot of things that we planned, things like early

warnings for floods or changing the ways we bring houses to make sure they're cooler. changing crop types and irrigation. but it's very difficult to adapt immediately to when we are experiencing something we have it before. human bodies can only hope with so much heat as well —— only cope. i think we've seen people can acclimatise, but that takes time. there are definitely limits to how much we can adapt quickly, but also limits to how we can adapt over a long period of time. i think for adapting immediately, essentially doing more emergency management where we're making sure people are staying cool, staying in cool rooms, not going out when it's hot and so on. those tend to be the recommendations. but we know you're probably going to be coming every single year, so we need to think of a longer—term strategy.

adaptation, it's a long horizon for that. it's not necessarily immediate. it comes to planning infrastructure, how do you do that when there's so much unpredictability? when there's so much un-redictabili ? �* , ., ., when there's so much un-redictabili ? �*, ., ., ., unpredictability? there's a lot of factors that _ unpredictability? there's a lot of factors that go — unpredictability? there's a lot of factors that go into _ unpredictability? there's a lot of factors that go into infra- - factors that go into infra— structure planning. there's a certain degree of that embedded in this. but we also know that the kinds of places where people will get warmer and wetter —— places. if we incorporate that knowledge into building and planning, we can make a big advantage. but i think the fact is also we know that certain types of infrastructure are more flexible when it comes to extreme events and changes in climate than others. in many places around the world, seawall have been erected to protect coastal settlements against storm surges in sea level rise or erosion. a lot of them have actually changed in a negative way, either by impacting the ecosystems that are

there — coral, mangroves that have been removed as a result — or also they have created problems elsewhere. so, we no these problems, once again, that takes time. if you invest a lot of money, you're most likely not going to change it quickly, at least.— likely not going to change it quickly, at least. and are some countries _ quickly, at least. and are some countries or _ quickly, at least. and are some countries or regions _ quickly, at least. and are some countries or regions able - quickly, at least. and are some countries or regions able to - quickly, at least. and are some i countries or regions able to adapt better than others? 0ne countries or regions able to adapt better than others? one of the sinister things about climate change as it doesn't exist in a vacuum. it can exacerbate existing problems. absolutely, and that is exactly why we worry about climate change. it's not happening in isolation. it is because of poverty and inequality that we see such extreme impact and it's because of this inequitable distribute of wealth. there's a huge

need for funding to help them adapt to and funding to help them catch up on development. i think it's important to recognise that if we don't take action now, there will be transformation coming. that may not be what we're looking for, it made not be for everybody. brute be what we're looking for, it made not be for everybody.— not be for everybody. we are in an era of consequences _ not be for everybody. we are in an era of consequences for _ not be for everybody. we are in an era of consequences for sure. - not be for everybody. we are in an era of consequences for sure. lisa | era of consequences for sure. lisa skipper, thank you very much for joining us. hello there. plants in the garden are starting to look very healthy these days. unfortunately, we can't go out and enjoy it because there's been quite a lot of rain around, hasn't there? so it's like this throughout friday afternoon with some significant puddles on the roads. now, this area of low pressure is not only with us for the rest of the day, but also into the majority of saturday as well. it's been pushing heavy rain further north and east. it's also brought some blustery winds with it as well.

this has been the story so far today — that rain is now starting to move towards the scottish borders and it will continue to do so through the early evening. in fact, once it gets into scotland, it may well linger in the far north, and that could have an impact locally with the potential for some flooding. quite a lot of cloud around elsewhere. on saturday morning, so we're going to start off on a grey note for many on saturday. that low pressure still there and still squeezed, quite tightly packed, together. the isobars, strong winds, unseasonably windy for this time of year. unseasonably windy the strongest of the winds on saturday likely to be across central and southern wales, along with central and southern england, 50—55 mph gusts of winds not out of the question. that is unusual for this time of year. and on top of that, spiralling around the low will be significant rash of showers, some of them heavy rumbles of thunder mixed in there.

now, in between the showers, there will be some drier, brighter, maybe even sunny interludes, but the temperatures subdued for this time of year — 14—22 as the overall high. now, as we move into sunday, it's likely that the low will drift away, but we still run the risk of more significant showers or longer spells of rain in the north west of scotland. sunny spells and scattered showers elsewhere, and as we go through the day for the rest of the country, hopefully the showers should start to ease. again, highsjust peaking into the low 20s. into the low 20s — a little bit disappointing for this time of year. so, it stays disappointing across the uk, but if you've already heard at the same time, across much of the mediterranean, we've got heatwave conditions at the moment, with the hottest weather likely across the southeast mediterranean. if you are heading on your holidays into next week, that heat is going to

continue through spain, through italy and also through greece.
