in south korea grannies teaching us it's never too late to. welcome to. it's good to have you with us now what is the hottest weather you have ever experienced how about 48 degrees celsius that is how hot at least one location in delhi was on monday. along with northwestern india is in the grip of a sweltering heat wave temperatures have around the mid to high forty's last week just recorded 50 degrees celsius making it the hottest place in the country and the 2nd hottest place on earth but relief is forecast in the coming days in the form of 3 monsoon in delhi and the western state of.

as the sun's rays be down on delhi those that can't shelter indoors do what they can to protect themselves from the relentless assault many need to be outside to earn a living even though business is slow. just the moderator a very few customers around the place is almost empty because of the heat we sit in our vehicles doing nothing for hours if it gets too hot we go and rest under the trees then we start again around 405 pm and work until late at night. for those trading in cool refreshments sales a brisk the main challenge is keeping drinks chilled in the blazing sun. heat waves can be deadly especially for the elderly the chronically ill and young children. and many people experience negative health effects as their bodies

struggle to cope. the temperature of the earth is rising every day. and because of that we are facing many problems people get diseases heat causes things like skin rashes and other skin problems that scientists say stream weather events will increase in frequency e.g. to global warming and india will be one of the worst sufferers human health is at risk along with our food and water supply. although temperatures across india have now started to fall after 3 weeks of all time highs the summer of 2019 is on course to be the hottest in india since records began. and it was sort of on the good of one of those struggling for heat she joins me now from delhi sonia good to see you how are you all that up. well gratiot

yesterday the moki retouched 48 degrees celsius in daily creating really an all time record high temperature for the capital in june so yesterday it was really unbearable we had these hot dry winds sweeping the city they called the new so yes it was really difficult even staying outdoors for too long but i have to say you know i am somebody was a condition of that home i can afford a condition transport so for me it's not been so bad but i think it's relentless heat has been especially hard on daley's homeless and the poor and of course those people who really don't have a choice but to continue working despite the scorching temperatures you know people like construction workers street vendors rickshaw drivers traffic police i think it's been really tough on them exactly an experiment that of the rest of india last with a man who was killed in a fight over water how desperate are people becoming. i mean it's true that the scorching temperatures the sea and the heat wave that we're

seeing across the country has been particularly brutal of the c.e.o. and that has led to these clashes as you say you know last week the indian media reported that in the eastern state of charge 6 people were stabbed by by a man when fights broke out over filling bottles of water from a common tank we saw similar scenes in the central state of by the british which you know record some of the record some of the highest temperatures in the country it's not unusual i have to say to thieve these scenes in big cities in summer but they don't necessarily just have to do with the soaring temperatures you know in cities like delhi and mumbai even bangalore you know these routine fights over water also have to do with the fact that you know there is simply a higher demand for water and some won't but that the water infrastructure in many places has simply failed to keep plays bass with rapid organization and you also have then you know illegal ball whales in many places which have really decreased the level of groundwater in these areas so i think the water crunch and the fights around it don't necessarily have to do it just with soaring temperatures.

for us thank you very much for speaking to us about the heatwave conditions in northern india. thailand's military leader has been officially endorsed as prime minister nearly a week after being elected to the post in parliament the endorsement by the king comes after a. cross the majority mark and bollman needed to secure the premiership he comfortably edged out his rival telephone drawing room grandkid who had been put forward by the so-called democratic front an alliance of 7 bodies that upon himself is either of the future forward body that came in 3rd in national elections held in march the vote has been criticised for being rigged in favor of the military there were allegations of manipulation of results and even that future forward m.p.'s were offered money to switch sides in favor of the military immensely popular as a leader of a future for without a phone presently remains suspended from palm and pending

a decision from the constitutional court on whether he violated election law bankole correspondent phil caught up with the billionaire politician. thank you so much phil agreeing to this interview after the 24 team voters were promised a democratic election was this it. definitely not i mean. let's be honest before the election nobody expected him to be totally free and totally fair but the experience to the election would be free and fair to a certain extent and then we would respect the result but this is far from it. what we have seen over the last few months is this. the people who are controlling the power right now. have no intention at all to let go of this power

no intention at all despite the public opinion despite the anger of the people just don't do us how much of a voice do you think m.p.'s like yourself in your party and also critics in this government will have over the coming years under the present government i believe. cannot receive just do change forever i mean. walk on the street and you say you will be hearing people. opposition against the government i mean the angle of the people tend to pull real. so i believe to reach restore a shut off the record of democracy is a double is not the creation of eve but to question where. do you see yourself as the man who can achieve that do you still have prime ministerial ambitions i don't want to be if you or i want to you know spend more

time with my family i want to go back to my normal life since nobody leading the charge nobody leading this project. the project to restore democracy back in this country i have to do it myself right now. but my ambition to be the prime minister's today steve soley and the reason is that he's being a prime minister destination did this nation change and you're facing a lot of legal challenges which you say are largely politically motivated we believe so do you worry given the fact that some of those challenges see you banned from politics or even facing jail. do you worry that you days in politics might be a bit. dazed there is a possibility that my days in politics will be done but there's a possibility that

a pact. you've got to understand if you are afraid you don't do anything for us to be political at this point of his story. it's about pushing the boundaries pushing where the limit of possibilities is so i believe that it is a pile. of ideas domination of ideas comes. the legal trade. legal charges the trade off while ends against some of the leaders of the party these things are real. rio unafraid. and submissive at this point. didn't look at us wanted a bill conducting that interview by a dog heading to south korea max which is one of the world's most technologically advanced countries but that's a very recent development many of the older generation missed out on the opportunities that young south koreans have today in specially in education that

prevented from going to school as young girls because of poverty and patriarchal attitudes. my grandmother used to say a woman with knowledge always ends up preparing years. decades later they're able to reject the social conventions of the past and enjoy the education they were once denied. using so much effort to read and write to lair in the korean letters i felt sorry for them but i was also impressed by them it was beautiful to watch the blair. one cook at the out of the earth that i will. and some have even become published authors contributing to a collection of stories and growing up in the turbulent 20th century. that's a fine i'll be sure to check all the other stories on the double dot com poll of pleasure on facebook and the 3 top believe it all with more pictures of windows
