the medication is putting lives at risk in india, and activist explains how the prices 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 swamped sewell'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 more info in the coming days, like fountains along the streets, the serious c 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 on them on is all. i couldn't believe that i was trapped in a building with 40 other people in the middle of gang of 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. today i finally began to feel the impact of climate change. all these things are caused by it. climate change is believed to be making reigns heavier and more erratic. this was south korea's worst when fall in decades. the consequent flooding toned deadly and brought buses and some waste to a halt. road and hundreds of buildings have been damaged 0. 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 at a 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 cerebral. 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 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 rainstorm has, has struck the south green capital, sol and the current surrounding young, the province here, brush. incredible stuff that you're saying, a franca power 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 took you'll, is, 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 a 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, the governments during the best they can brush frank smith in soil. thanks so much for bringing that up to it. 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 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 like the, the with the only other option mr. buy from pharmacies that still have ample supplies. but prices are too high for most family. me. in some families, 3 to 4 people are h i v positive oral cancer the week. so how will they be able to buy medicines?

many people have no choice but to go without them or the the doubt, 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 said, there is no shortage at all. and john, me not 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 anti retroviral medicines? ah, so this short stage when you do not family and 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 are some tools society are

trying to via look at 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 age 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? all that back around. so neck also can do, but being a 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 stall was not timely. put up, so that is the main reason, but that can be streamlined by mac and ministry of health by keeping the system in place before the same. and i would say like there should be some spin

processes in supply chain management. we are being a community, we can also wash dog and we can get the current to stations 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. so does that mean that the government is not actually serious about procuring medicines for 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 and d, j to be online, to be transferred in and be a big with the communities or the system 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 a bit out

of it in the i guess lake with the medicine, they are not able to get there getting the medicine but the supplement with them. and so there are some claims they were following the extra reason since so many years, but due to the shortage of what we've this shifted on the other madison. so these are the challenges facing by the community members. and i would say like, you know, the biggest issue for us. so we did pick medicine are not given on time to the susan. so that is the biggest issue. and that's why we are in 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 transiting 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 strength leadership to monitor applied to my husband for that well, no, but i will leave it there. but thank you so much for joining us today on this important subject. thank you. so thank you for giving us a questions. that's it. stay this more on our website. did up the dot com, forward slash asia, and there's plenty more storage on facebook and twitter bridges as well. but again, tomorrow at the same time, we'll see you then, bye passengers here are in for a ride. taxi drivers here need nerves of steel. while passengers here can get an eye full along the way. reb taxis accommodate
