chaotic scenes as police and demonstrators clashed inside a suburban shopping mall. i'm british bandaging welcome to news asia it's good to have you with us it was billed as a journey of a 1000000000 dreams but it didn't happen a feast not on monday the launch of india's much anticipated moon mission chandrayaan 2 was called off in the last hour for technical reasons. this is the miner who thinks it needs. be. me thank you very much. at stake was all to the $140000000.00 u.s.

dollars the indian government has so far spent on this mission even at that crude it is one of the cheapest ever more missions it seems to deploy a land on the morn to look for water map to surface and analyze composition on board is a robotic volvo meant to probe the moons as yet unexplored something if successful india would become just the 4th country in the world to achieve a soft landing on the new no surface. so india's new no mission put on hold ri spoke to roger short he promoted rather gopalan a senior fellow and head of the nuclear and space policy initiative at the observer research foundation in delhi we asked about this so-called technical spag that stopped the launch i just part of this not much information available on the

details if technical problems that sounds out to have done it do. this or has just come out with it to return a statement to any brief statement just to say that it's been a technical snag saw one doesn't know that but i think the problem is possibly because she is so remoxy the geosynchronous lunch break good luck to be that has been used by chance they aren't true to how you civility a new weekly that's been used previously we have been using that view so we the pull us up like large vehicle which is considered the tried and tested well cars off the indian space for such optimization but it is so remarked that he has just gone to this flight so far in a sense that could be part of the problem in a sense and the maybe it may be a smaller problem it is the source said that it is due to abandon the caution that the at canceling this moment out this time launch at this moment of course it is a setback but i think it may be a temporary setback because you don't. actually operates at

a very small budget the space program so you don't want to london mission in the sense you don't want to shoot up something and then realize that it is slowing and it's not able to. happen then it might be just 8 so that would be a huge piece of money and influence on us of what happened with these silly private companies that so that's it's good that it has happened at this stage but having said that i think this could also how does the problem needs to be taken care of right away because she is so being mom chill on this is the same but the large vehicle he's also proposed to be used for the getting out mission of what is called the indian austerlitz mission to be undertaken in 2022 so the got to get this right before we before we proceed any further than the sense. of a man's determined to proceed with its moon mission the eastern and northeastern parts of the country floods heavy rains have battered india and neighboring

countries in the past few days leading to the deaths of at least 55 people across this region. a deadly monsoon season in 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. if in bangladesh it's the same story dangerous flooding and mudslides. and for the range of refugees from neighboring mine the rain and landslides have washed away thousands of hillside shelters leaving several dead. hundreds homeless or 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 almost

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 livestock 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 and 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. excited about 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. and more rains are predicted in the coming days as one of them we should just fall is in

delhi do autopsies have a plan to deal with this crisis. vibrational qualities in india at least have definitely picked up the bees the national disaster response force in india is one of the biggest in the was and they have have a history of addressing problems with national disasters as well this year as they have been deployed across flooded states in the country and they have rescued many people a 1000 have been relocated to relief camps there's a 247 helpline to respond to any or any disasters any and calls for help and there's been there's been meetings at the top level of the ministries to figure out how exactly to help people however there have been deaths again this is an annual affair but the challenges in these mountainous area has a different from what they are built upon cities like mumbai and chennai and over here because of the because of climate change impacts is actually been worse than

was extreme by most situations that have been that studies have shown odd increasing with time you mention climate change surely this is something that as you mention has been studied so the government would be aware also that what measures have governments in the region he could to try and address. well british again the group the problem of security forces seems to be the main effort that governments in the region have tried to make in the pilot as well as in india that have been a massive deployment of security forces and of the location of people the question being raised is that why aren't there more long term georgia bill solutions being undertaken why are these people in low lying areas are moved bowman and plea and why on them what infrastructure actions taken to get through could tell you this but of course when you're talking about extreme climate change conditions extreme

weather events because of climate change it's also a long term plan there's been a massachusetts institute of technology study that says that by the end of the century 80 percent of india's massive population would be exposed to extreme weather conditions that are not natural or for human beings unless by machines action of stigler are now to have long term repercussions this could be become the norm so in absence of long term funding there but what about in the short term what's that example is available for these flood victims well the primary source of help has the security forces and in places like bunker there's there's also an international presence to refugees in places like fox is bizarre these are unique challenge of being a law like country and 8 percent of it is it is flat screens which is why the even more prone to flooding because of this and of course there are helplines set up their security forces that are released council on the other hand the challenge is that many of the next few forces are not able to reach people in nepal for example

communication dogs have fallen down key highways have been thought off so the plan for now may well be for these security forces to wait for the monsoons to the sea for the water to recede to be able to reach out to these people and help with rescue and we have an addition to the record is going to be should just fall in delhi thank you very much. gender 1st now and to hong kong next where the storm of protest over the now suspended extradition bill continues on sunday police and protesters fought running battles in a shopping mall in sharpton district of the city the government's described protesters who attacked police as rioters and said more than 10 officers were injured in the while and. was the latest phase in a deepening political crisis an uprising that has now shifted away from the financial heart and into the suburbs and away from anger over extradition laws to the balance of power between hong kong and china protesters here we've got u.s.
