much of south asia. in nepal the off the moth of mass floods and deadly landslides for the displaced there's more rain to come. by in bangladesh it's the same story dangerous flooding and mudslides. and for the a hinge of refugees from neighboring mine the rain and landslides have washed away thousands of hillside shelters leaving several dead. we're having problems during this rainy season getting food the kids are suffering from disease the toilets and bathrooms are a problem the kids are not able to go to school and schools are falling into disrepair these are the problems we face. a huge swathe of south asia used to monsoons is affected by the floods in india arun shell pradesh west bengal and

assam with well over a 1000000 people affected as well as lifestyle and crucially crops some say that the biggest loss has been the crops as soon as farmers began sowing irrigating the land with electric pumps and all then the rain began the rainfall has also been extreme 70 to 72 hours of continuous rainy the water level kept increasing and slowly submerge the farmlands nearly all of the crops have been destroyed. by the climate change means more extreme weather and many a concern about how that's affecting our food systems this monsoon and a ruined harvest will be felt well beyond the end of the rainy season. let's go now to. wall who's standing by in delhi for us and we show what's the main priority for authorities where you are as they try to help some of those 1000000 people who've

been displaced. well brian the plot it is how so long into action and why and these floods have been have taken and there's been a massive loss of life they are also on and will affairs in india the national disaster response force is one of the biggest in the world and has handed similar disasters in the past as well or you had this you know their approach to cycling funding and preparing for it was also commendable because there was actually an incredible rescue and relief effort that can also be seen on the ground here to the n.p.r.'s forces are deployed all across flood just states in the country and they're carrying out rescue and relief operations they have read located people across the border in the pile as well thousands of security forces have been deployed but there are serious challenges communication towers are down and need high every is a blocks of these are the conditions that security forces and disaster management forces are dealing with they are actually waiting for them on susan's seed so that

the water levels proceed and better force can be carried out to help the people as you mentioned these monsoons or an annual event but how does this year compared to previous years. well there are also reports that in the fall the flooding has the divorce the past few years but extreme by the conditions are also becoming more common as you are born you are in india for example there have been floods there were massive floods last year. and of course the problems over here in these mountainous regions are very different from built upon it as like mumbai or the city of chinmaya but the other areas in india that i hit by drought studies have been formed that this is related to climate change and extreme weather conditions are expected to be much more likely as we progress if nothing is done right now about this in fact there is a study by the massachusetts institute of technology that predicts that 80 percent off in just population vill be exposed to extreme weather conditions by the end of

the century if more action is not taken right now it's to prevent or the fact that climate change is having in the subcontinent bangladesh's facing some special challenges with hundreds of thousands of refugees from being more now in the country well will these refugees be getting the help that they need. but bangladesh of course has a very specific and of a unique challenge and we have lots of bizarre we've seen visuals from there of people in temporary housing is trying to keep up the months late since april has taken lives and is also a product of heavy rainfall bangladesh also is different from india and nepal in that the regions we're talking about in india and nepal are more mountainous regions while bombing of this is a low lying country 80 percent of the country is flood plain says weight prone to flooding and other populations among of these are also also susceptible to these

sort of course and while there are programs and efforts by parties as well as international programs like the world food program there is a higher risk of waterborne illnesses there's a higher risk of death because of these months later thought there's an additional challenge basic need to the already difficult place these are in general fisheries are leading in their future homes and emissions thanks very much for that from delhi let's brief you know some of the other stories making news this hour in brussels you foreign ministers are discussing how to get the iran nuclear deal back on track tensions in the gulf have worsened since u.s. president trump called united states out of the deal last year around recently began breaking limits set on uranium enrichment in breach of that agreement. officials have confirmed that the current ebola outbreak in the democratic republic of congo has spread to goma a major city close to the rwandan border more than 1600 people have already died in

the 2nd biggest ebola outbreak on record. in the giant chinese panda has celebrated his 9th birthday at berlin zoo he woke up this morning to find a cage in his enclosure forget sugar and icing this one was made from sweet potatoes and red beets a special treat. it's to south africa now where former president jacob zuma is facing questions at a public inquiry today being broadcast live to millions of people across the country he's being accused of overseeing a culture of corruption while in office including giving out state contracts and financial favors to allies he says the allegations against him are politically motivated zuma was ousted by his own party last year during his testimony he claimed to be a victim of a conspiracy that has been. a

drive. to remove me from. it has come in different forms and that's why. people who said what they were trying to. do. let's go straight to johannesburg our correspondent adrian krishi news of following this for us adrian this is not the 1st time that the former president has faced corruption charges what's at stake for him this time round. right this is a commission off inquiry that is basically trying to find out how the state capture network really came up so they don't have prosecuting powers but they can refer their finding to the relevant agencies so for jacob zuma at stake for him is mainly

his refutation and he's been seeing himself as he has rightly said as a victim for a long time he's been saying even people in his home party are going against him seeing him as a scape goats and so you have to understand that zuma does not have an official position anymore in the country but he is still a very powerful man the a.n.c. the governing party is basically split in 2 major factions you have the one of the current president who is portrayed as somebody who wants to clean up his own party and then you have affection of people zuma and people around him who are trying to keep the status quo and the outcomes and findings of this commission will basically have a strong impact on the followers ship of jacob zuma just people ok now assuming it's not legally required to appear at this in korea and has no process sure tauriel powers as you mentioned so why did he choose to do so. well there was a long back and forth before that his lawyers actually asked for the questions to

be handed to him before his appearing the commission refused to must bill decided to show up and as i said most likely to clear up his name because remember there's really strong allegations on the table against him reaching from using state money to build his private residence then there's a lot of allegations when it comes to an arms deal where he was way that's what the claims are that he was involved in to that and also there's a lot of stories around his involvement with the group the family from his long term friends who are said to play a major role in this state caption it was at one point that's what the allegations say that they were even in charge of naming ministers this is how far that's what the allegations say when you know considering all of that and considering that these proceedings are being televised live across the nation this must be getting a lot of public response and interest absolutely it came as a surprise is that knows you must report to say here today normally when he has

a legal hearings he always brings a lot of his supporters along because the especially in his home region he still has a lot of supporters but many south africans here i talked to they just really want to finally find out what really happened during the zuma years there's been a lot of allegations a lot of stories circulating but no court really extended any truth nobody really knows what happened so they want to hear the facts and they want to have evidence ok well perhaps we'll get them over the next few hours e.g. increase for us in johannesburg thanks very much also to the united states now where u.s. president donald trump has been accused of racism after posting tweets attacking democratic congresswoman in them he said they should quote go back to the crime infested places from which they came rather than loudly and viciously telling the people of the united states how to run the government speaker of the house nancy pelosi in response tweeted. the following

when real donald trump tells 4 american congressmen and women to go back to their country he reaffirms his plans to make american make america great again has always been about making america white again our diversity is our strength and our unity is our power and senator and presidential candidate cory booker tweeted about his own experience as a person of color he said you don't belong here you're not one of us go back to where you came from we've heard this our whole lives now we hear it from the oval office if you're sick of it to support the women who are leading the fight against trump every day in congress and the women the president referred to have all reacted as well congresswoman woman alexandra cause here cortez tweeting mr president the country i come from and the country we all swear to is the united states omar the only one of the 4 women who was born outside the united states tweeted you are still king white nationalism because you are angry that people like

us are serving in congress and fighting against your hate filled agenda so far republican party representatives have not responded to the tweets this is deja vu news live from berlin still to come on this program playing it safe authorities warn of flash flooding and tornadoes as the remnants of the once mighty storm barry move north we'll be reporting from the state of louisiana. but 1st turkey is marking 3 years since a failed coup attempt against the government of president richard type one but many questions linger about exactly what happened were members of the country's armed forces for example behind the plot was a rival of anyone's an exile whom turkey calls a terrorist responsible confusion may hang over the failed too but its consequences have been much clearer. the night of july 15th 2016 was filled

with chaos and violence elements of the turkish armed forces launched an operation to unseat president richard. aircraft attacked government buildings troops occupied bridges and squares as many as 300 people were killed. on the 15th of july offices told us it was a trying operation but they juked us we went out onto the streets then the police came and we let the reality when they detained us. forces loyal to heir to one put down the coup his government has since arrested tried and jailed tens of thousands of soldiers teachers journalists and other public servants many more have been removed from their posts they stand accused of supporting the attempted takeover or at least disloyalty to the government many more turks at home and abroad still support heir to one but that's not guaranteed to last a week currency skyrocketing inflation and high interest rates have shaken his grip on power relations with the west are at a low point then there's. an opposition figure and the next mayor of istanbul heir

to one held the post before he ascended to the national stage a parallel not lost on some voters. the president was merritt's well a criminal who is following the same path we will see that in days. no one can say when those better times for edda once opponents may come he survived the bang of a coup attempt the whimper of everyday politics may pose the bigger challenge. so 3 years on let's go straight to istanbul and our correspondent there dorian jones dorian how is this day being marked in turkey. well it's a major event of commemorations in fact the event started late last night just down the road from where i am it was a major open air life and visual display recalling the traumatic events of that failed coup night showing up for fighter jets bombing the presidential and

parliamentary parliamentary buildings night which for over 250 people died and thousands of others injured but today it's a real major event later on today president of iran will be addressing a public rally in unc aura at the headquarters of the national security forces that was a scene of bloody fighting on the night of the coup but the key event here in istanbul in the evening at the ataturk airport are now closed the airport of istanbul that's where one made his return on the night of the coup from his vacation that moment in and it was a turning point but he rallied supporters and he will be using that event tonight in a keynote speech to remind all of his supporters about them atika vent dorian you are in istanbul before the q. in the days when i was unfolding and of course since then how has this country changed since the coup. well it has changed fundamentally ever since that failed coup to be enough

a wide ranging crackdown that seen over 150000 people removed from their jobs on top of that over 70000 people have been jailed in a crackdown that still continues to this day now initially critics so overtly want had offered support for that crackdown there was cross party support but as that crackdown it intensified and still continues increasingly people are opponents of the one and even people of in its own party are saying this could be more about keeping the old one in power rather than protecting democracy and that's what one today will be using these commemorations to consolidate his base to give a message to remind them of the importance of unity because they're going to send over this crackdown is the scene of a major factor behind his recent electoral setbacks. their crackdown has been widely chris christie eyes including by by turkey's allies how is it a fact in foreign relations can you sketch out for us. what is put a pivotal moment on the night of the coup ancora still smarting body perceives as

a lack of support from its western allies it points out that no foreign leaders well from its allies were in contact with her to what he says that weeks after the coup none no prominent fishbowls came to offer support to turkey and that is in stark contrast to the russian president vladimir putin he was on the phone all through the night with her what assholes to from iranian foreign minister jaafari and on top of that it is widely speculated it was a russian intelligence even tip top 3rd one on the day of the coup but that a takeover could be lonely and that has proved the impetus that is deepening relationship between turkey and russia and the same time by much of the distrust which still continues today with turkey's western allies can be traced back to that night of the coup during jones for us as turkey marks 3 years since that failed coup attempt thanks very much. it's to the u.s. now where forecasters are warning that heavy rains from tropical depression barry

still pose a threat in a number of southern states that storm was downgraded sunday afternoon as it moved north the region appears to have avoided the catastrophic flooding that authorities feared but many remain under tornado and flash flood warning did obvious hold humphry reports now from baton rouge louisiana. it's an anxious waiting game waiting to find out whether their homes have survived tropical storm barry. has brought her 5 grandchildren to this red cross shelter in baton rouge louisiana she's already been through catastrophic flooding in 2016 and didn't want to take any chances were very high were all the time i'm worried about having the same thing can go through that again. that is nerve raking in the bank there but any time we are prepared 39 people have been seeking shelter in this sports stadium sleeping on camp beds with blankets toiletries and hot meals

provided by the american red cross they came at short notice they don't know how long they'll have to stay it's a disorienting experience but i'm so confused because some people say hurricane there is want to be. according to what i see the winds in damages now what we worry about is the flooding they were about and it's that anguish that the american red cross says it tries to l.a. we really do try to make them as comfortable as possible because we know this is a traumatic thing being displaced from your home not knowing what to expect whether it's going to be a really severe weather event you are going to fortunately pass on by really do you want to just take care of them the best way possible ahead of the storm a federal state of emergency was declared activating every 3000 members of the military to conduct rescue operations for some of the state's most vulnerable people essentially we will go and we will transport the personnel that are oh may

bring them to a shelter such as right now where we had in baton rouge and sometimes they'll go to nursing homes are places where it's flooded and go pick up those personal bringing back for many in the state of a reason than a horror kinds of violent storms and just something that people are used to living with for global warming means that weather patterns are growing increasingly erratic and sorry many more people will likely have time to see ride out storms and make shift shelters like this one. for now storm barry appears to have done this was to leave in baton rouge residents to return home and see what damage has been done. we have some sports now and in tennis this man novak djokovic is the men's wimbledon champion after coming through an epic 5 set encounter with fellow titan roger federer the match lasted nearly 5 hours with the 5th set going to a target break before the serbian prevailed 1312 the win is his 5th title at wimbledon

the world number one feasting on some center court grass when that match was over it is the 16th time the 32 year old has seen the grand slam success. sells more about this incredible matches only moho talkee from did abuse workaday duley what really stood out for you was an incredibly tight match how close was favre to his 6th wimbledon were incredibly close to the point where roger federer could see victory he could smell it he just couldn't taste it federer in the final set he had 2 points to win it but he just couldn't dig deep enough but you know somebody that could novak djokovic with a brilliant comeback fight and it just shows you why he is the woods number one and despite roger federer with the better numbers he had a better care of percentage he did not drop a serve in the 1st 4 sets he had

a better return game he won more break points it is joke of each with with his incredible defensive game his health believe that stole the show and we ended up with a game for the ages ok would have been if it would have been his 9th win right and given the federer is almost 38 years old which is old for tennis isn't it what is this was this is last will to see as a thing federer is like he's setting new standards and that's what makes him so incredible and look he may be old a but if judging on that match yesterday he did not look any more tired than djokovic and again this was an extremely competitive and extremely close match. have gone either way 0 age was definitely not the reason that roger federer lost this match you know and we've had these conversations many times about roger federer whenever he loses a final you know it has to do with his age and between let me remind also review is that between 2 and we've had these conversations many times about roger federer

whenever he loses a final you know it has to do with his age and between let me remind also review is that between 20122017 roger federer did a new goal a dry spell where he didn't 5 years where he didn't win any grants and trophies but what did he do at the end of that he surprised all of us he came back he won 2017 what is it back to back to australia opens as well as wimbledon so obviously this is a missed opportunity but the tank is still full when it comes to roger federer and age has not slowed him down ok so we might see him back again never know what and also the performance against the dollar that and yesterday is a testament to just how good he is to the joke about you know talk about who has 16 grandson part and so federer has a record 20. conjunctive it's a person card look and the tennis world will agree on this if there's one man that can surpass roger federer his record it is novak djokovic i mean he is not just

incredibly talented but he also has time on his side he's 32 years young he's 32 years young he has as you just mentioned 16 grandstands just 4 behind larger federer and there's another factor to consider we know how human psychology works the closer you get to breaking a record you know the more you won it so i'm using a ball games and of course his former coach revealed yesterday boris becker after the match that novak djokovic doesn't just want to be one of the greatest but the greatest of all time so there you go we have motivation there and it's also really interesting is that during the presentation. lodger federer was asked about his age you know him being 37 years old to which he replied that he hopes to be an inspiration to other 37 year olds and of course djokovic and it upper pieing and saying that you know he hopes to be one of them and that his longevity federalist

on gemini has served as an inspiration to him so conceivably we could see them matching up again yes this is a possibility yes i believe both sides of this is the w. news live from berlin well have more coming up at the top of the hour coming up next is our current affairs documentary telling the story of a german palestinian man hoping to return to his family in gaza but he's facing some obstacles that's after a short break thanks for being with us. an
