is tesa, don't be afraid to make mistakes. nothing can soften that. you're right, i am actually to feel with this new her women into this week. this is did other news asia coming up to date heavy rain turns deadly in still at least 8 people around the south korean capital in some of the heaviest downpours in decades. how our policy is responding and why wasn't the city bed and the shortage of attention and t h i v medication is putting lives at risk in india. an

activist explains how the price is, could have been avoided. ah, i british manager, welcome to the w news, asia. glad you could join us. at least 8 people are dead and others missing after heavy rain swamp cyril's metropolitan region. the rain began on monday morning and had intensified by evening in one part of the city. it was the most amount of rainfall in 80 years. the weather office has predicted maureen fall in the coming days. like fountains along the streets, the cereal sea all filled up with water turning rows into rivers. it even drowned the upscale district of gun them known for its design outlets and high and cars. people thought they would be safe hill. now. humble. plenty is all. i couldn't

believe that i was trapped in a building with 40 other people in the middle of ganga district due to floods. it reminds me of the titanic. i was so scared, my 2 little sons were waiting at home. so i wanted to go back home, which was only 10 minutes away, but i couldn't possibly move. and that situation was unbelievable. to day i finally began to feel the impact of climate change. all these things are caused by it. climate change is believed to be making rains, heavier and more erratic. this was south korea's worst rainfall in decades. the consequent flooding toned deadly and brought buses and some waste to a halt. road and hundreds of buildings had been damaged. theodore hi, i am shocked by the damage. the same thing happened around 11 years ago, and it is sad that the government has not taken any measures. south

korea's president had been criticized for handling the disaster remotely from home . but only tuesday, he was in flood affected areas to see how bad the situation is jumbled on july, the government should review the current disaster management system from scratch. we need to account for these abnormal weather conditions caused by climate change check on tor hamner. and that happens, people are picking up the pieces, building things back up. but the rain hasn't stopped and is expected to continue for days to come. but get more of the story from a frank smith, her inner sir, all of frank. how bad is it and is more to come? it's really bad. $141.00 milliliters in one hour. that's an 80 year old record that stood since 1942. now, tuesday morning, this morning, people were told to,

to go back to work. it had dried up a little bit, the emergency crews were, were repairing things pumping out some of the water. but then it started to rain again at my location. i was looking over a sort of small stream that has a, a walkway of stones or across it. and i was going to go for a bike, right. it was drying up and then it started raining again. the stones across the street stream have been submerged at and 2 meters above that. the entire walkways and bite paths on either side of the stream are now submerged to the tops of trees. there is a bridge for traffic going across the stream and people are stopping down and looking at the water just streaming down would had been a stream which, which is now river and you can see debris and trees and tree stumps and,

and logs also flowing down this river as this unprecedented, you know, a rain storm has, has struck the south green capital, sol and the current surrounding young. the province here brash, incredible stuff that you're saying, a franca, our product is responding. well, they've been taking a lot of heat. emergency crews have been out there have been reports actually of, of one emergency crew member actually dying being electrocuted while trying to, to do some work. busy busy but most of, i think the criticism is, is political, at least some of it. if you look, you'll isn't, is the president, he moved the presidential office to a different location in that new presidential office is being remodeled and, and refurbished for him. so he's still living at home and community he left for home last night on monday night sort of when this intense storm,

this monsoon struck the the capitol region and he didn't get back to his office in the morning. so he's under a lot of criticism for working from home during this critical period. he did get out to one of the locations that was seriously flag effected by this flooding. many homes in south korea are sometimes part way underground. there are semi basements in, so you visited one of those to sort of try to reassure people that governments during the best they can brush frank smith in soil. thanks so much for bringing that up. did ah, a group of h. i, we and aids patients in india's capital city, delia protesting and acute shortage of anti retroviral drugs facing the government agency that distributes the medicines, has asked them to switch their regimen due to the shortage. and that's putting

their lives in danger. these protests have gone on for 3 weeks. patients waiting in wayne for free h i v medication. the thought is, you know, some have found the drugs, but they say it's not enough. instead of giving us drugs for one month, they're giving us drugs for $10.00 to $15.00 days, sometimes just by dis the keep postponing it. and this did not start recently. it's been going on for 6 months. patients must then keep coming back and that costs time that many don't have to do with the only other option. mr. buy from pharmacies that still have ample supplies, but prices are too high for most family. me 15 some families, 3 to 4 people are h. i v positive oral care through the week. so how will they be able to buy

medicines? many people have no choice but to go without them without the medication. all of these patients are at risk of developing resistance to the drugs, timing and consistency ocoee. yet, despite what these protest, healthy india's health ministry phase, there is no shortage at all. and john men are from delhi, is more not bologna and h i v rights activist, and part of the national coalition of people living with h. i v in india visible on it, what is causing this shortage of and do retro vital medicines ah, so the shortest when you do not family the 10 by the national leads organization and it was being delayed. so the gap for the time being happens, like there are some medicine shock products and those churches society are trying

to locate the medicines. so this is the basically the reason for that. but, but why does something like this happened? this is, i mean, india had an aids program for quite some time under which every positive people receive medicines for free. one would imagine that this would have been streamlined by now, why does this problem keep happening? that back around the neck also can do, but being the community activist i can see like there are some gaps. so i would say like there is some lack of monitoring from the national and so site . and the estimation for the before the store was not timely. put up, so that is the main reason, but that can be streamlined by mac and ministry of has by keeping the system in place before the same. and i would say like, there should be some processes in supply chain management. we are being

a community, we can also wash dog and we can get the current station for the supply chain of the medicines. the issue was the gaps gets in the procurement from the center site. so that is the basic reason and you do that some of the medicine which was going on for long for the community, which was shifted on the other one. that's why it's happened. does that mean that the government is not actually serious about procuring medicines for it's every positive people some extent i can say that, but they do that is the, this issue of the monitoring for the monitoring of the, with the stocks at the state level as well. as at the gone level, which was lacking from the macro side and being a community, we also want efforts to facilitate that relocation process from

a state to state and just stick to district. but yes, there are lacking of the mechanism to ensure the supply chain management. so we also boys and try as requested to mac or nbc is committed to of, to be online, to be transparent and be a big with the communities or the systems from this month or so. last month we had a meeting and we get assurance for that. like this problem will not receive the next financial yet. so we are hopeful, but it's still the problem isn't we don't. yes, i'm going to, it's unfortunate that you as a member of the community and the entire community has to take such pains to try and get the medicines that it needs to help us understand what is the impact on individual living with h i v. if they can't get the medicines that they need said they're

out of it in the i guess lake where the medicine, they are not able to get there getting the medicine but the prism. so there are some kind of they were following the exit is a month since so many years, but new to the short of what we've missed shifted on the other medicine. so these are the challenges facing by the community members. and i would say like, we did the biggest issue for us. so we did take medicine are not given on time to the fusion. so that is the biggest issue. and that's why we show, you know, again and again, like this kind of short, this should not be happen for the children. so that is the main concern for us and for i don't know. so there are some fitness was lacking. the fitness in those when we are from the thing both system to the state and local procurement, then most of preparedness should be done by the national level. so being a community with which we think that lacking from the macro site preparedness and

leadership, straight leadership to monitor applied to my husband, let me know, but i will leave it there. but thank you so much for joining us today on this important subject. thank you, sir. thank you for giving this a fashion that sits upstairs more on our website. did up the dot com, forward slash issue, and this been 2 more stories on facebook and twitter bridges as well. but again tomorrow at the same time, we see you then hold for i'm you can that i want that tied into endy sent me. you are not allowed to see you anymore. we will send you back. are you familiar with this?
