for the international gathering of peace and co operation becomes the scene of a horrible tragedy. arab terrorists, armed with sub machine guns, went to the headquarters of the israeli team and immediately killed one man, and that this will be the last time i saw him. our worst fears realized tonight, they're all gone. how i witnessed his experienced the terrible events and this, the world should not forget the low shuttle, the $972.00 olympic massacre start september 3rd on d. w. they started up in years, a share coming up today is south asia in the midst of a climate emergency focused on is facing catastrophic flooding. that's taken lives and damaged infrastructure just month tanya. it's neighbors were facing floods is all disconnected and is the region prepared for the changes in the climate plus

a record drought has pushed down more to levels in china, effecting energy supplied a report on its consequences. ah . on british manager, welcome to d. w. news asia ledger could join us indonesia, environment minister has told g 20 officials the world risks heading into uncharted territory. if they fail to act together against the climate crisis. the call came at the g 20 environmental meeting on bali, just this month. catastrophic flooding has killed more than a 1000 people in pakistan, while much of china has been experiencing a crippling drought. and record heat has more of water c, p. nora bio bucket said, we know that climate ching would become an empty via and multiply and off the

graces. it would not only wipe out all development progress that has been achieved over the buddy gates, but be usually in emerging economies. but it would also brought us over an environmental peeping boy into uncharted barre 3 where no few jeered will be sustainable. and if you're in pakistan, that future already looks bleak. yeah, more than 33000000 people. that's one in 70. but his studies have been affected by flooding that followed. heavy rain. many are homeless, have lost their finances and iron areas that are proving hot to reach because the roads have been washed away. un chief and owner of the terrace has described it as a monsoon on steroids and a beamed for a $160000000.00 in emergency funding to help the country. but pakistan's floods aren't an isolated event. justice europe, south asia has seen periods of extreme heat followed by heavy rains and floods. and

most of these events are occurring with greater intensity over regular periods of time. south spacious battle against extreme weather, this viet began in march. when scorching temperatures patted the region, pakistan reported bracketron purchase that exceeded $49.00 degrees celsius. india received 70 percent less rainfall than usual residence across the regent had hoped for relief, which came in may, but went way to extreme. the monsoon season began earlier than expected and hit the indian state of awesome and makalya and full force. unprecedented rainfall and flooding left over a 100 dead. and millions of homes submerged. 51. what is it?

okay, this is the 3rd time that we're facing. floods offer on we're this time the flood is completely swamped the street on the canal whatever was repaired after the 2nd flood is now again in ruins. all the rain also hit neighboring bangladesh affecting especially the low lying areas while heavy rainfall during salvation monsoon season . as normal flooding in such an intensity is not or not yet, but monsoon patterns are changing, meaning bangladesh will have to cope with more unpredictable spells of disasters under the ball will go with fidel due to our geographical location, we have to live with floods. we have to accept this and act accordingly, but our dark, your authority, glory like hello. and most recently, pakistan flooding has submerged more than a 3rd of the country. over 30000000 people have been affected. a 1000 people died earlier. this monsoon season will eventually come to an end but

devastation like this will likely repeat over and over again in the coming years and decades. and let's get more on this with dr. roxy, both your call from the indian institute of tropical meteorology in upon it, dr. called south asia, her seem extreme heat in the months of march and april, followed by flooding in may and june. and now we have catastrophic flooding in pakistan is all of this connected right, but it. so this is the poster child all explain with weather events changed out from climate change and base in climate change i would say and we see, you know, drastic trent increase. so extreme weather events like he dreams, jobs, floods and sight lawns in this region. i'm rising off india pakistan and been

lavish and this is particularly because so dish is in such a joker location in washing out it in the tropical waters. we just want me quite faster than any other ocean basins in the long indian ocean. as wild fox is warming auction, basically, i'm just checking out whether it's like side that's very extreme. watson being 1st reduced carrying a lot more submitted. so that will cation spend up watson being that strong and allocations random ones are weak, right? in general, long game election in the strand last on, watson circulation. so we have jobs. but in between, if you do want to start having burs pennies, taking up all that more sort of from the washing and dummy all of a sudden in some parts of south asia, there is a clear global warming sticking out here. one of the important properties of global

warming use that when we, how, when the areas warmer, the air force more moisture and for a longer time. right? so it doesn't drain. i me. but when it rains all that more so he does absorb for, for that long time it does all of a sudden. so you get a sense rain or a strain in a few hours to a few days. and that's what, what we see across the issue. and this is not, doesn't bucket you seen. we saw it back in the get are happening this year. even despite some of the reasons why somebody has been going to charles rather be so be an extra range that 1st talking eastern parts of this can you describe? i just ask your doctor call if you think the south asia, therefore in the midst of a climate emergency,

very good. i would say that i would say that early signals of climate change right from here. so that we see that we saw that just before the one to do some we had a long g trip and it was not just the intensity of the heat. it was it was the land thought that you'd be doing it one day she'd be water. she'd been for a be long from may and then to be in june. i did point dr. conditions that the range were really low during that time. it didn't for a long time, so that in the defied the right conditions. during that time, i talk to a risha, i believe, or you need to pull you up more air conditioning or, or the agriculture you are what it addition sectors you've given me various in talking about would you say that once in the region are prepared to deal

with these sorts of changes, or do they need to be doing mall right now? no. not after nationally, demand commission commitments for reducing emissions are sufficient to keep the temperatures down below 1.5 degrees celsius by 2042. by 60. yeah. and the change of that we see under now that actually rather even like 5 years, but i mean just wants to that one degrees celsius, right. and even if i just, i can only imagine that in back, feel free to get such a change. yeah. so the next step for the government to do is are generally take your immediate lock up dish measures because the climate change is global. but impact of local allies you see happening in one region, talks happening in other regions of the region or so based on the local conditions

and climate changes, we need to do that. and we talked to each region i can drive or relate, right? we'll have to leave it there for the time being and fucking a dr. roxie matthew call. thank you so much for joining us today on this important object. similar variations in climate having seen across southwest in china as well . for much of the past few weeks, a record drought kept water level is dangerously low. but now with the return of the reins that are fears of flooding, how about the recent dry spell has already shown people how climate change can directly impact their lives. correspondent patrick fuck reports from the city of john king ah dark clouds hang over chung kings horizon a last there's rainfall for weeks. this region had suffered under intense drought.

it killed crops and caused bush wires. it also drastically lowered water levels along the yank sea criteria. it's been a long time since it rained more than 40 days. the young c as the world 3rd largest river and the water source for about 600000000 people. it's currents also fuel much of china's extensive hydropower infrastructure. parts of the river dried up during the drought, sparking severe energy shortages and chunking and other places. restaurant own a young who operates inside a downtown mall and john ching, it's just one of the many local business owners effective and in the chile, normally we'd have everything on these days. the government is promoting energy saving measures like using the furnace set of air conditioners. there isn't enough . electricity. authorities had ordered mall, sir, only stay open for 5 hours a day at the height of the heat wave. young says operating hours are still restricted and that many businesses are also making their own contributions. like

keeping lights switched off to cut energy consumption. or you can see there are lots of records going in. so trying to save energy to address this power branch here on underground trains, their content which is being all the lights are being then. so every other light here is switched off right now. but these really are just stop gap measure to help alleviate the short term. in the long term, environmentalists like li chow of greenpeace, a policy makers must set more aggressive green sockets to tackle the effects of climate change. huge oil change on that to duncan, extreme climate events like this, i causing a lot of damage and i spent a lot of public discussion. these factors could push the government to take a more proactive approach in fighting climate change and reaching its carbon neutral goals. at the same time though, the recent heat wave, the havoc it's caused, have raised questions over southwestern china's reliance on hydropower. there are

fears, policy makers may resort to burning new fossil fuels like coal to meet its energy demands and to reduce the risk of future energy crunches brought on by extreme weather conditions. but it's likely to make it harder for china to achieve its goal of going carbon neutral by 2060. and it could contribute towards even more unpredictable and extreme weather in the future. and that's it for today is of course more from the region on our website to w from forward slash future em as ever, and follows on facebook and for to reflect more of the same, i would think event every day for us and for our planet global ideas is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do

we make cities greener? how can we protect animals in their habitats? what to do with all our waste? we can make a difference by choosing reforestation over deforestation recycling over disposable martin solutions overseas said in our ways is truly unique. and we know that that uniqueness is one allows us to live and survive. google ideas, the environmental soon in global $3000.00 on d, w and online ah, another hit to germany's gas supply. russia has shut down deliveries along the north stream, one pipeline saying it's closed for maintenance, but we'll flows ever restart. i went, boom,

turns to bust unfinished buildings in china, relieving home by placing difficult choices the state of your business on what's in berlin. welcome to the program. russia has suspended all gas supplies to germany through the nord stream, one pipeline. state energy from gas prompts as deliveries will be stopped the 3 days for maintenance work. however, there are doubt save a weather. supplies will resume on saturday. russia had already reduced north stream, one flows to 20 percent. that noble capacity, citing various technical reasons. however, the german government says the kremlin is using gas supplies as a weapon named retaliation against western sanctions. let's get more on this with mikhail critique in from the consultant consultancy firm iris energy. he's based outside of russia and joins us. it's great to have you on the program. give me a call. what are the chances of deliveries down north street one actually resuming after the stoppage.
