starts november, so i'm d, w ah ah . visiting w news line from berlin looming hunger crisis in nigeria, the worse flooding in a decade least more than a 1000000 homeless and crop fails, destroyed pharmacy, it's impossible to grow anything. also on the program. leaders agree on a so called road map to head off a winter energy crisis. they promised measures within weeks to shield households and businesses from soaring prices. but germany and france are still divided on how to achieve this ukraine's presidency. hughes is russia of planning to blow up

a vital hydro electric down water me as a landscape awards. hundreds of thousands are in danger of flooding in the occupied house on regions and injury heartache. at the guitar world cup. we take a look at why a number of big names have been ruled out of next month. talk lou, i'm from gail. welcome to the program. of course is in nigeria, a warning of a looming hunger crisis. the worse flooding in a decade has killed at least 600 people left more than a 1000000 homeless governments already battling with high inflation and food shortages. and the united nations was warning that the country a faced catastrophic levels of hunger, even before the floods hit her. this is what the rainy season usually looks

like. and i'm rusty in se, elijah, and this is what the same community looks like. now. swollen weavers have in on they said numerous house on villages across nigeria, causing 1400000 people to flee their homes for camps set up on higher ground. $27.00 out of $36.00 states have been affected and embraced it. is one of the was here. one 3rd of the state is now on the water. we are suffering but suffering is better than stealing. that's why we're here in this condition. the clothes that i'm wearing at the only ones i have left, the flood carried away all our belongings. hon. our schools have been destroyed by water. so our plea is anyone that can help us should help us. any one that you help us should help us please local and yields and philanthropists as crumbling to help where the camp people here see the feel neglected by the government.

the government and manager hub and bond and not seen any resent with key infrastructure swallowed by water. many of the flooded communities are without power. and people's generators have been destroyed . critical infrastructures such as schools, health care centers, police stations, and banks can't operate. the nigerian government says that thought they received only one inside of the flood. they never foresaw at this level of destruction and with a number of families that are being washed away. there are concerns about foot scarcity in the coming months. south eastern nigeria is at risk of flooding, at least until the end of the rainy season. in november. the dublin correspondent

flows shaquilla in lagos told me why aid is taking so long to reach some areas. well the, the reason is simple. the problem is simply overwhelming for the government, the niger and emergency magic m management agency is doing their best to reach out to people who have been affected by these flaws. but you have to are less than that . many of this places are very hard to reach and the scare of the problem, the magnitude of the problem is one that the gov men did not really envy sasha like they didn't seem commune. and so reaching out, so up to every one or been able to reach out to every one. you know, i immediately is almost impossible. so many people are just relying right now on and use an philanthropies to send them money. i mean, we are talking about almost a whole of nigeria being affected, right, right. by the flood, right?

i'm with huge sways, are farmland destroyed. is the country now having for a crisis or food crisis? their projections of food crises are coming up in a few months. according to the president of the all farmers association, which is the association of farmers and ange area are about 60 to 70 percent of nigeria. farm land would, we'll be lost to these floating off cost damage that we're going to see less how there's less produce coming in in the coming months. because farmers i've planted their crops and now and they've all been washed away by the water. other than that, 6 months ago, there was already a prediction that nigeria was going to be among our 6 countries with that would experience extreme food shortages. so the picture really looks very bleak right now . i'm beast, the worst of plugs in decade and blame is being

a portion not just to climate change, but also to poor planning. it's exactly the names around government has simply shown their lack of ability to really plan ahead. now just speaking about the short term, the government was aware that there was going to be a flood commune, but not much. was dawn to prepare people for it. and also to, you know, stuck up on food materials, relief items for people. there may be affected. you know, and apart from that, there is a dam ink in there, barring cameron that releases water every year. and that water flows through the river and ever been re baseline. and that is what also mixed the flooding issue. very, very bad. so this happens every year, just that this year in particular, the damage and the destruction is just on preceding it. it's one like we've not

seen in, in about 10 years late, like you, you rightly said. and so and so what we are seeing is that the government filled supplant, and prepare for the water that they knew was commune. and in fact, you could see this evening the, our body language. they have this kind of, you know, fed our body language like, or we are living up to god yesterday, a minister that said that 80 percent of the flood that we are seen is as a result of ream sent by god. that obviously shows that they have this attitude like there is nothing they can really do to, to salvage is situations of control this issue. and that is a huge problem because we are talking about the lives of lots of people, lots of our women and children, of course will be highly hit by this. and yes, it's not just a problem of climate change, but also of planning. i just also want to mention that 40 years ago there was a damned hours where to be built in nigeria, that would have been able to accommodate all of all this water. but unfortunately,

40 years after that damn is nor yet complete. so this is a complex problem of leadership planning on, of course a climate change and a sort of thank you so much for that. flourished cora in lagos would take a look now, some more of the other source making news around the world. we're starting actually where the far right leader ga, ga maloney has as president said, you matter rather for a mandate to form a coalition government just been summoned to, to his official residence where an announcement is expected shortly. below you could become, it was 1st of female prime minister and its 1st far right leader. since the 2nd world war, prince conservative party searching for a new leader following the resignation of prime minister, this trust jer after just 6 weeks in the job partner, chief se replacement will be in place within a week amongst the candidates, likely to compete for the top job is former prime minister barak johnson a huge

fire up to the innocent in central mexico. when a fuel truck crashed into an overpass explosion, scott, homes and vehicles. hundreds had to leave their homes. the truck driver has been arrested. the you leaders of agreed, what they call a roadmap for, containing saw a gas prices wrapping up a summit in brussels, dominated by the energy crisis. they say that measures to protect households and businesses should be in place within weeks. but france and germany are at arms over a price cap and the german government plan for subsidies as a national level european commission. the president ursula on the line says there has been progress. we had a very good discussion this morning again after having yesterday agreed on this huge energy package. there is a lot of work now ahead of us, what the energy is concerned, but the road map is very clear. and it was good to have this unanimity this broad

support for the road map that we have put forward. all the w corresponded jack parrot case at the summit and explain what the commission that president meant by a road map. yeah, really hard to say to be honest, fill a road map might by a cynic, be considered something of a coffee on an agreement. essentially what the leaders of the 2070 you countries have done is told the european commission that they need to look at the costs and benefits and do a bit of an assessment about exactly what the contentious issues within these energy debase. how they will affect the you going forward? now we know that specifically the most contentious issues were around the price gap cap importing natural gas from outside of the european union. the concern is that if you cut the price that that will be more demand and more usage, and therefore it would be harder to buy that gas and that it could, that sort of intervention could have a big, big effect on the market. specifically,

the people that are concerned most about that are the germans. we understand that german chancellor left shots was quite isolated in this summit, trying to defend that position. it looks like they just couldn't really get agreement on it. and what they decided to do was put forward this road map was like road map and framework instead of you brussels speak often mean, but we're not quite there yet. we'll try and find a way through this going forward and an energy meters. ministers are indeed meeting at the beginning of the next the next week. now what they did agree to do, though, is a common purchasing scheme for gas. and that is actually something that the german chancellor spoke about after the summit. take a listen. i'm good minds. i'm unco phone gut when it comes to the joint purchasing of gas, we made good headway. product companies can now group together for the purpose of joint purchasing. that's a good step forward. fortunate by besedia smith that we also want to address joint purchasing for a certain percentage of gas that will go into our gas, my doors facilities, as suggested by the european commissioners. by sure,

and it's good that we're coordinating early on in order to prepare for winter 2023 . it doesn't. but tim blake, often vent advancement. neither all the things like benchmarks on liquid natural gas that have been agreed, waste chilling, increase liquidity in the energy market. all of this is quite technical. phil, it's quite complex and it's very political. but essentially what the lead is trying to do is trying to make sure that prices for consumers heating their homes through the winter in the european union, or coming down this big divisions on how to do it. but all of the leaders want to do that. okay, so they put a pin in the energy crisis. what else is on the agenda today? yeah, there's been some big discussions about ukraine and also china. there's sort of a turning of the language towards china. they was quoted as sort of strategic partner in areas in a competitor, in others. so the leaders were having discussions about that on ukraine. we had

some interesting comments about the financial support that ukraine is getting a broader miss zalinski. the ukranian president says that they need 3000000000 euros a month in order for just basic infrastructure, heating, electricity, et cetera, in the country while they continue to fight rushes invasion. we've heard now from the european union that they're going to provide $1500000000.00 euros per month of that, which would be $18000000000.00 euros through the year through next year through 2023. so that's, that's something that we've, we've seen and that will be continued discussions. the european union continues to want to show it support for ukraine. but obviously now, as i say, the contentious issue is this energy issue for the you and energy ministers will be meeting next week, and all eyes will, will turn back on to then. thanks for that, jack. i date of the corresponding jack park will ukraine's president is accused russia planning to blow up a vital hydro electric dam in the occupied house on region. vladimir zalinski says

russian troops of mine, the cutoff cut power plant on that in the pro river, putting hundreds of thousands of people in danger of flooding. if the dam is destroyed, xanax intimacy, according to our information, the aggregate semi damn of the car, kafka hydro electric power plant, we're mind by russian terrorist. now every one in the world must act powerfully and quickly to prevent a new russian terrorist attack, destroying the dam would mean a large scale disaster. look at the stove. meanwhile, the 1st of 9000 to russian troops of arrived in bella, luce, mens, can moscow say they're setting up a joint unit to defend beller who says borders. it's leader, alexander lucas franco claims whose country faces threat from neighboring ukraine on its western allies. ukraine accuse is moscow trying to draw bellows into the war? a train said to be carrying russian military vehicles. arrives in bellis.

another apparently full of russian soldiers. over the last few days, bela rose's defense ministry has been releasing images like these to prove that a deal struck between it and its giant neighbour, russia is really happening for perimeter. we arrived from the central region of russia. well, specifically, i'm from moscow, was come to help the brotherly people of the republic of villa rose to strengthen their borders and to make everyone feel, how can i to peoples of russia and billows are girls please? absolutely. alexander lucas jenko announce is in class for a joint military unit more than a week ago. minsk, his sense confirmed that around $9000.00 russian troops will be based in the country, close to the ukrainian border. but location co continues to deny that his country

will attack ukraine. it's no secret though, that russia is vladimir putin has been using bela rose in its war against cave, including launching air strikes from there. ukraine has already released images of its armed forces, said to be training near the border with bella ruth, which had already been holding military drills in the region before the deal between minsk and moscow was announced. pretty your crew, bella. luce is clean to show it's giving these russian soldiers a warm welcome. but once the show is over, no one's quite sure what will happen next to your katerina, schumann is a political scientist who left russia shortly after the war began. she told me why

she thinks that russia and bella bruce have set up this joint unit. actually the position of the fellow russian president alexandro, catherine, curt use. one of the most remarkable in political history. he stranded between 3 and it is all of which one came away and oh, each of which is more powerful than he is on the west. russia and his own people. and yet human, the managers of reserve power. he has also are somehow managed to wiggle away from direct entanglement in the are you bring your door? he's paying now he's respect to the russian president. he is doing all the leap service he possibly can. he's also allowing the use of bill written territory for the launch of russian miss files, but he has not given any people to his ally the l a that so desperately needs more . i meant our world as far as it is possible to determine the future or to understand what will be happening,

he will try to keep the same policy that has so far. i've been so successful to him, he will try to continue in his unique position of the same time at jailer, and an execution of his native land and a preserver of its independence. at least that is independence from russia. but this sounds like a step away from that steady neutrality that you bet you just outline this sounds like a joint bellow ruffian and russian unit. that sounds like a step towards involvement beyond allowing russia to, to use his country as a sort of launchpad. i, you know, during the last 20 years we've seen and heard so many announcements of the next phase of russia and bill, russian entity, russian, bill, russian, unity, or we have seen the creation are and down the disappearance of our collective bodies. like the joint part ones are we have seen that we have heard so many

declarations of kind and yet somehow our nothing very material now happened after that it may be that now our location call will find it impossible to any longer feed his dangerous neighbor with dangerous ally, or with just with words on the, with symbolic actions of this kind. but i wouldn't quite agree with you that this looks like a step away from this policy. a real step away would be sending 20000 or 50000 or bill russia military to fight alongside with russia. ah, no 4 balls. well cups now less than a month away. but as well as concerns about host guitars, a human rights record, the actual games themselves. numbers being compromised, interest of the likes of france, midfielder and 2018, no world champion in gold, country and portugal strike a deal. go yacht, a man. when several top stars will be missing, and pundits are asking whether the timing vizier tournament being held in november

and december is a factor kyle mckinnon can't tell us all he joined us from a dw welcome kyle. less than a month until the tournament. the funds should be getting excited, but instead this trepidation about all these players being sidelined by injury for falling like flies. i mean people where we have leroy center sunny behind us is by immune x star winger, germany's star winner as well. he's out with a torn of thigh muscle that's gonna cause some trepidation, as you said, for german fans, a man. well, noirs got a nagging injury as well. that could keep him out of it. we'll definitely keep him out of the champions league game next week or so long to play barcelona. so it's a tough one to miss but then well know he's one of the best goalkeepers in the world. germany, again, struggling to come to terms with the fact that some of these guys aren't coming back bouncing back from their injuries. because as you said, november is

a tough time to be playing in a world cup. and that will make it more difficult. i was gonna mention to there's other names, containers you mentioned for the champions, france. their chances are a little bit less good because of his demise. he's out for definitely thomas one year from belgium. his cheekbone is broken. i don't know if he's going to get back in time. it's a tough time. brazil, argentina also struggling. what's more to this? and i, i have to bring my boots to work just in case i get the call. so what about this idea of the call? i, i won't get because what about this idea of it? but the holding the woke up in november, this is a bad time. you, you, you touched on it just now. it is a, it's a tough time. it definitely is. this is an unusual year because katara it has the summer time and cut out would be unbelievably hot for a world cup. so this is not a good time to be playing. so that's why they've moved it. the best leagues are playing right up to the last minute. rece. james is a case in point though he's,

he's a guy who's almost certainly going to be out of the tournament. but he's got it. he's got a hamstring injury for england. and it's a, it's a struggle for him to get back from this counseling and report because of the european scenario. and the fact that the, all these injuries are happening perhaps now he has a chance to get better the world rule this year for naming a team of 55 players, you can name to a team this year that has to be cut down to $26.00 by, by world cup time. but that means that people like we st. james may be able to, to buy their time, get healthy, and may become back for just in time. maybe for the, the groups the for, for beyond the group stage. but in to the knockout rounds is a tough time and it will be a tough time for the world cup because of the november start time. and i suppose a well cut without the the big names. the last thing fif a once after all the negative publicity that this tournament is attract. indeed, as he mentioned, the human rights issues the, the other issues that are accompanying the concerns about the l g. b t q plus

communities are making wave even the fact that there was concern even about beer and alcohol not even being met, not being serve, but that's going to happen. and, and at least that aspect is being pushed to the side for a short time. carl mckinney dw, thank you debbie. i could, our world cup has drawn every criticism in the west, but in the middle east there has a huge excitement about hosting the final so much so that one man has decided that he will happily walk more than 1500 kilometers to catch a glimpse of action so d, ravia is no stranger to pilgrimages, but this time mecca isn't the goal. this is lucille stadium and guitar football fun. abdulla l. so me is tracking 1600 kilometers from the western city of jetta, right across the country to get here. so enthused is he by the 1st ever middle
