korea we need the grammys 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 and then he along with not western india is in the grip of a sweltering heat wave temperatures have all but around the mid to high forty's last week in raw 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 showers in delhi and the western state of good cheer

up. 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. 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 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 will sort of allah god is one of those struggling for here 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 the creating really an all time record high temperature for the capitol 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 the toll i can afford a condition transport so for me it's not been so bad but i think this 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 rickshaw drivers traffic police i think it's been really tough on them exactly an experiment that of the rest of india last week for 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 on the heat wave that we're seeing across the country has been particularly brutal the c.e.o. and it 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 from a tank we saw similar scenes in the central state of but the predation 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 see 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 place based with rapid organization and you also have the you know illegal ball ways of many cases 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 just with soaring temperatures.

no intention at all despite the public opinion despite the anger of the people to stand to us how much voice do you think m.p.'s. yourself in your party and also critics this government will have over the coming years under the governments i believe. they cannot receive due change forever i mean who would walk on the street and you would be hearing people. opposition against the government and the angle of the people 10 jubal is real. so i believe bristol re showed off because of democracy is inevitable it's not the creation of eve but the question of where. do you see yourself as the man who can achieve that do you still have prime ministerial
