food either. to be honest we have nothing well that is here only god can help us we have absolutely nothing at all no coal nothing to eat and drink nothing. for weeks the weather has been an inclement mix of rain in storms this refugee camp in northern syria has become a mud bath fifteen hundred people fled here from other parts of the country to escape violence. but there's no sign of any aid organization and there is a severe lack of blankets clothes heaters food as well. and now there is also a rising fear of a military offensive directed toward the last rebel stronghold in syria will push out that we are afraid of everything up with rain and wind when it hits attend but also attackers coming from who knows where but i don't know what something. more and it has become more likely since the salafist jihad is militant group to rural shanthi to control early january these are rare images of an otherwise closed

this week's lows haven't been this brutal in decades breathing can be painful even dangerous and that's not only the case in america's third largest city six u.s. states have recorded temperatures colder than antarctica weather stations across large parts of canada and the u.s. have register temperatures at minus thirty degrees celsius or more factor in the wind chill and it's more than minus fifty the culprit for the cold chaos a massive subzero air called a polar vortex so named because it normally stays put around the north pole but this week it's humble people further south. this is that because this of ever seen it i've got about three different layers on top and bottom right now so as compared as they can be. and. there should be this is good perpetration would. ever need to get from here what you're trying to mittens and to

get to illustrate the effects of extreme cold a chicago based reporter through a couple of boiled water in the air. the water froze almost instantly and fell back down as snow. temperatures this far below freezing can also have drastic effects on people the homeless are at particular risk cities across the midwest have opened up warming centers including police stations and roving buses for anyone seeking shelter from the cold the bone chilling weather has caused more than two thousand flight cancellations school and office closures transit delays and multi-car pileups on slippery roads even the u.s. postal service whose unofficial motto takes pride in all weather work has halted mail delivery in many places the polar vortex looks to be lingering through the rest of the week only then might it release millions of people from its icy embrace . this show ended up in correspondent life in the in chicago in the u.s. state of illinois where temperatures have been described as

a life threatening situation nama. hi there well it's you know it's a bit iffy outside and there's a waiver a little while for give me if i look like i'm sort of dancing in front of the camera but they've actually advised people who have to be outside for any period of time to keep moving you know to keep generating your body heat because it's really dangerous if you're standing still for too long this is temperature which even your your eyeballs can freeze over if it's too cold if you're outside for too long i can feel my tears sort of freezing in my eyes right now the situation is it's sort of a ghost town this is one of the most populous cities in the us it's the beginning of the workday here and this we're next to one of the biggest streets in town and it's pretty clear as usually traffic jams people running around and there's almost no one on the streets mostly due to the cold so how have authority these extremes. well as we've heard they've been setting up warming centers

a lot of the city's major institutions governments have been shut down for the past day through possibly also tomorrow a lot of schools the major universities have also closed down there were some dramatic pictures that came out yesterday of authorities having to light the train tracks of the public transit system on fire because it was so cold that the metal was working and they needed to keep people moving so there's been a variety of response is even just reaching out to clergy in the area trying to coordinate and reach out to the most vulnerable people who might be sleeping on the streets in these extreme weather people who can't get to warm places especially because there's also been about twenty five thousand reported people affected by power outages in the region so briefly how little of these continued at these conditions expected to continue well that's the interesting thing because yesterday

and today it's been as we've heard and arctic temperatures here but even starting tomorrow it's supposed to pop up to a balmy negative six celsius and then already on the weekend it's going to shoot right up to being above freezing again which is a swing about forty degrees of temperature and about three days i was much chicago keep moving so if you like to. know about their village in vogue area is expected is experiencing a sudden surge in the number of chinese to tourists that know that just for the scenery the business on something of a pilgrimage as they search for a particular strain of bacteria. see lies in the middle of the bulgarian rideau pea mountain range near the greek border. recently signs in chinese appeared more and more chinese are traveling to this bulgarian mountain and
