that three hundred twenty four people have died in what he called the worst flooding. in one hundred. one with a quarter of a million people have lost their homes and are living in relief camps carola is a popular tourism destination known for its beaches the state is hit by monsoons every year but this year rains have been unusually heavy. because following that story for us from delhi sonia what's the situation like this even in the flood affected areas how does one explain the sadness and shop increase the death toll well i'm worried that the situation and carried out against l.a. are you know statism fire a lot and the students really seem to ration the tension for much of today and also last night night and i think that there's also obviously complicated relief efforts and that has that as well to partially lead to the very height that don't seem so

large parts of the states mean under water i've seen some kind of really heartbreaking videos on social media actually people you know pushed on groups dogs overeating to be rescued. and in many many areas you know a child to sleep at the top from the mainland that's all it's a been washed away because of flats lights on or damages and. what the constitution making us all to come to a standstill in general has commercial capital now this is the gateway to get what's really important city which national airport is closed because a lot of hospitals in the city ratio it also struggling not just to cope with a surge of patients with more supplies liquid oxygen even decent starts to run generators does the public so i think it remains a very catastrophic situation and somehow the cola government responding it seems the defense forces have been called out to help. that's right because there's

a massive rescue and relief operation on the way both the indian army and didn't immediately have to have russian troops there russian resources diving teams and extra two hundred boats to be so there really is a big operation and that we can the chief minister. and he's also set up you know dozens of police gas across the state where many many people are asked his government is for financial conditions and donations of essential items for its people in iraq are significant and prime minister didn't plan this event or more the it is also sixteen this is canada and the arctic spock of that region where the scenery is fifty five still long still summer and the event in india and across south asia what makes this one so exceptional and deadly. united are you know canada in particular is really no stranger to greatness you know it's located on the southwestern edge which means it's the first state usually to see very selfless on the scene and get in the u.t.c.'s heavy waves throughout

the entire month of september but this is really not an exception but what missing this time is something we just learned it's unprecedented it's really simple as you said it's been called the worst floods it has in chile and you know environmentalists in india are seeing some of the must see that you know this is fun she also a man beat and mt mother does something to heal what pointing fingers he was he got a sense of the warning that might lead to scattered out in large parts of the state he said that has made the soil not unstable and lead to the kind of student and they also pointed towards you don't watch t.v. in high places and why the construction is part of getting the speed to listen in on what was for me i'm watching that and that has also contributed to what we see right so now finally in delhi thank you very much for that update. and sting in india thousands of people have paid their final respects to former prime minister

atal bihari ventured by who died on thursday at the age of ninety three large fire was committed with full state on us in delhi schools and colleges will close in the capital and the government has announced a seven day mourning period he was prime minister three times it served only one. lunch via was a founding leader of the ruling hindu nationalist party the b j p but he steered clear of divisive politics which won him the respect of people across the political spectrum. he was a poet journalist and a moderate face of hindu nationalism to some former indian prime minister at taba hari that is an icon to others a contradiction as a founding father of the ruling bharatiya janata party that party was a key figure in india's growth as both a nuclear and economic power he was a risk taker and peace maker. in

one thousand nine hundred ninety eight he carried out a series of underground nuclear tests alarming pakistan and the international community islam about responded in kind sparking a nuclear arms race between the two neighbors. but one year later a grand diplomatic gesture that paey road on the first bus was service from delhi to lahore where he attended a summit with pakistan's president in an effort to mend ties that parties also credited with india's global economic boom which was fueled by his support for the i.t. sector. to some though he was the leader of a fanatic and teen muslim movement that would go on to polarize indian society his policies shape the face of the country his passing could mark the end of an era. now for some of the stories making news around the was former pakistani cricket

star turned politician imran khan has been elected as the country's new prime minister his party the pakistan tehreek e insaf won the most seats in pakistan's general election last month with the head of smaller parties is managed to get a majority to be sworn in on saturday. a un human rights panel says brazil's former president who is ignacio who had a silver should be allowed to run for president while he appeals a corruption conviction opinion polls show would win the success of his election he's currently serving a twelve year prison sentence on the conviction his supporters say was politically motivated. it is mourning the victims of the bridge disaster in genoa which killed at least thirty eight people while rescuers search for any potential survivors families of victims have paid respects to their loved ones ahead of the state

funeral tomorrow both italy's president said. and prime minister just said because they will attend the ceremony the country has declared saturday and national day of mourning meanwhile italy's transport ministry has opened an investigation into the bridges collapse but that might not be enough to keep the kid public anger did obviously charlotte chosen pill spoke with italians wanted about the condition of the country's other bridges. this is a scene replicated across this region. nestled in mountains in the shadow of towering concrete structures living in one such home as retired construction worker johnny he's been here for thirty years for him the branch had long just been part of the scenery but now he's looking at it very differently. i am a little more worried but first i thought they would have closed temporarily after the miranda bridge collapsed and that they would have checked it properly i mean

this hasn't happened and i believe this was careless. the marandi bridge is just a short drive from here its collapse is made giani reassess just how safe this is your insistence. because. i've been thinking for years that something could suddenly happen to this bridge because i believe that the pillars probably only have about sixty percent of the family. compared to. so. it's not just residents living underneath structures like this who are now concerned it's also the drivers who paul say that bridges like this every day everybody images of the bridge crumbling. to them when you're driving across bridges like this one and then not just across genoa there throughout the whole of italy there are many people now asking if that can happen to me like the ill fated

brain chain many in italy were built in the fifty's and sixty's they would have designed to withstand the amount of traffic passing over them today and as one expert tells me many were only ever expected to have a fifty year lifespan you need. to have a new construction in that we tend to forget that the structure is something that becomes us and the situation should be control of the much better we have to allocate the money from the beginning to be sure that we are the possibility of controlling volution of us structure in other countries very very strong in italy is growing but probably is not enough strong the company operating the marandi bridge insists its maintenance checks were up to date back on the outskirts agenda much gianni says regular maintenance work is also being done here but for him

that's now another reason to worry. that there is so much maintenance means it's really necessary after so many years fifty sixty seventy years maybe we have to consider building a new bridge. that experts say the safety of infrastructure across the country must be reviewed in many cases they maintenance work will only delay the inevitable the emergence of more bridges not fit for purpose. to bosler now which is marking the first anniversary of terrorist attacks that left sixteen people dead and more than one hundred injured families survivors in officials took part in a memorial service in the capital where a year ago an attack a plowed a van into crowds on the famous street. survivors and families of the victims of last year's terror attack on the rambla

bus alone or remember those who lost their lives. it's still difficult. and for the families of the victims hard to accept. it was very hard especially at first to not think if they had just spent another minute at lunch or if he had been standing two feet over from where he was or if their plans had been different or they had all gone to the beach instead of walking on the streets of la rambla. but i also know that. life is like that. and there is never going to be an answer for those questions those killed or injured came from thirty four different countries with this french tourists was severely injured but survived the attack the memorise a painful on a fortunate ones to do when i woke up in the hospital but i realized i couldn't

move. i tried moving my legs my arms they wouldn't move. i couldn't speak anymore and then i realized that i have to live with this forever. everything came to a halt in that moment and nothing will change this of us talk of south of us alone as many people are united in their grief it is illness more the a c. and from the following day people went out on the streets to say we were not afraid and that the terrorists were not going to infect us with the hatred that we weren't going to distrust our neighbors and was wearing going to criminalize a certain culture and that made us stronger was bustling as city hall had said ahead of the memorial that it wanted to avoid political controversy but in catalonia it's hard to avoid politics. king felipe or the sixth of spain attending the memorial history dishonest council looniest but for independence in

the past and has loose support in the region. there was also division on the streets as cattlemen separatists protest at the king's presence. the focus today however is on grieving. turning now to the conflict in syria and the fate of one volunteer organization that has saved thousands of lives during the recent years of bloodshed the white helmets as they're known have been operating in rebel held territories for seven years now risking victims of the fighting and of government and strikes syrian president bashar assad calls them western sponsored propaganda tools to help terrorists. but as the russian backed military gradually defeated rebel forces the danger confronting the white helmets increased with government troops approaching dozens of white house helmets and their families in the areas of daraa and could atra were evacuated by israeli troops and taken to

jordan now from the they were taken to jordan canada britain germany have now agreed to take them and did some young spoke with father a co-founder of the white helmets who told him its members simply didn't want to leave syria well first of all i would like to say that. we asked for support to protect those volunteers and their families inside syria we didn't aim at getting anyone outside but because the international community failed to ensure protection of civilians inside syria and particularly for the humanitarian workers and the white helmets the last resort for for those volunteers were to to escape through the occupied golan heights to short and then have resettlement in other countries we attack the german government and all our friends who support the despotic process and we believe that our colleagues who are here they you will be active in

their new communities carrying their skills and qualifications they will walk to serve civilians there as they did in syria who will do the important work of rescuing civilians in syria if these people have left the country. and. we remain committed to work force the syrian people. they are and we are aware and whenever we have access to support them the group of volunteers who were evacuated with their families represent just a small percentage. of around one hundred volunteer and their families but we still have more than three thousand volunteers in north and syria who continue their work as usual the regime says that the white helmets have connections to foreign powers and indeed to jihad these what's yours. i would

say that the all these narratives are contradicting each other's sometimes they say that the white homes do not exist at all these are just fabricated firms and sometimes they say those are affiliated with western intelligence and some sun times that they say they are affiliated with jihadist and all these stories contradict with each other's the true story they're the white images of the people and working for the people and their success and providing assistance to the people and supporting the civil society it challenges the narrative that is proposed by the regime and its allies that are to say that there are no good people left in syria and there is most of his sight in syria and the syrians are not able to walk by themselves to help themselves it's only the dictatorial regime of the extremists this is our own narrative and for this reason they try to throw these fake accusations on

a personal level you must have seen some terrible things during this war in syria. could you describe what motivated you to join the white helmets in the first place . i of course i faced personal challenges and big risks but it's it's just like all the other syrians and all other. victims in syria. i would say that i started this work and because it's my duty you don't need a motivation to work for your country or to try to risk you or your neighbor or your relative for your friend it's it comes from values and humanitarian principles when you hear a cry from my baby or from whoever asking for help it's our duty to do that and we can't abandon our people as long as we can do something to help it's our

responsibility and we will keep doing this for to the end. and that was the co-founder of the white helmets photo can have been talking to detail of this simon young that's a pleasure to her to welcome a funny for a char and light at the end of the tunnel for greece funny some life indeed and return thank you very much because greece of fishley and its third and final bailout program next week monday that means that athens will technically regain full control over its budget after years of forced cutbacks in return for emergency loans and the celebration will be muted however following three bailouts over eight years and a sizable amount of debt to begin with greek debt you know in the last one hundred eighty percent of its angle i can only count here is meanwhile widespread prostration over austerity measures. tesla's shares are down
