a vital hydroelectric damn flow to me as the landscape wards hundreds of thousands are in danger of flooding in the occupied pass on reaching ah, i'm still getting welcome to the program. all sorts is in nigeria, a warning of a looming hunger crisis as the worst flooding for a decade kills at least 600 people, at least more than a 1000000 homeless. even before the floods hit, the government was battling high inflation and food shortages m u n. had warned of catastrophic levels of hunger. hey, this is what the rainy season usually looks like. and i'm rusty's in se elijah and this is what the same community looks like now. swollen weavers have inundated numerous towels and villages across nigeria cause in 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 heaped. one 3rd of the state is now on the water. we are suffering, but suffering is better than stealing. that's why we are here in this condition. the close that i'm wearing at the only ones i have left, the flood carried away all our belongings. lujan waller, 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 manager hub m bomb and not seen

any results with key infrastructure swallowed by water. many of the flow debt 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 in size 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 ange area is at risk of flooding, at least until the end of the rainy season in november. we'll dw correspondent or flourish a cora in lagos told me why it's taking so long for a to reach some areas. well the, the reason is simple. the problem is simply overwhelming for the government. the

nigerian 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 these places are very hard to reach and the scare of the problem, the magnitude of the problem is one that the government did not really and visitors 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 been affected right by, 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 crisis are coming up in a, in a few months,

according to the president of the all farmers association, which is the association of farmers in ange area about 60 to 70 percent of nigeria . farm land would, we'll be lost to these floating of course, that means that we are 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 when 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 nigerian government has simply shown the 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 coming, but not much was done to prepare people for it. and also to, you know, stuck up on food watts here i was really items for people that might be affected, you know, and apart from that, there is a dam in neighboring come, a ruined release is what are every year. and that what that flows through the reverse every been way based on that is what's also a mix, the flooding issue, very, very bad. so this happens every year, just that this year in particular, the damage on the destruction is just on presented. it's one like we've not seen in about 10 years, like like you rightly said. and so and so what we have seen is that the government failed to plan and prepare for the what had that been new was coming. and in fact,

you could see this even in the, our body language. they have this kind of, you know, fit our body language like, oh, we're leaving it up to god. yesterday, a minister said that's 80 percent of the flood that we have seen is as a result of rain sent by god. that obviously shows that they had this attitude like there is nothing they can really do to, to salvage the situation, to control this issue. and that is a huge problem because we are talking about the lives of lots of people, lots of women and children, of course, who will be highly hit by this. and yes, it's not just a problem of climate change, but also of planning. i just also mention that 40 as a good, there was a damn that was made to be built in the area that would have been able to accommodate all of all this water, but unfortunately 40 after that dummies, nor yet completes. so this is a complex problem of lead as she planning on of course, climate change understood. thank you so much for that. flourished cora in lagos.

i will take a look at some more stories that making news around the world. and captain abraham show, or a has been sworn in as burkina. faso is entering president. in september, the 34 year old led the country 2nd crew in less than a year. tory said his main task was to fight against jihadist insurgence. a presidential election in mckinney faster was planned for july 2024. un security council has unanimously adopted a resolution demanding an end to violence in haiti and imposing sanctions on a powerful gang leader is group has been blockading the main oil terminal. and 2 weeks ago, the country's prime minister appeal for international help in dealing with the crisis. georgia maloney has become italy's 1st female prime minister and its 1st far right leader since the 2nd world war. she has a mandate to form a coalition government after meeting the president in rome, malone,

his brothers of italy, party won last month's election. was it about the britons? conservative party searching for a new leader following the resignation from prime minister list trust after just 6 weeks in office. but the chief se her replacement will be in place within a week among the contenders system. and she replaced a former prime minister forest johnson. e u leaders of agreed, what they say is a roadmap for containing soaring gas prices. wrapping up a series in brussels, dominated by the energy crisis. they said measures to protect households and businesses should be in place within weeks. but france and germany, i remain at odds over a price cap and a german plan for national subsidies. european commission, president of the funds alliance says there has been some progress. we had a very good discussion this morning again after having yesterday agreed on this huge energy package out. 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. will they w correspondence? jack perez is at the summit and explain what the commission president meant by a roadmap. yeah, really hard to say to be honest fellow road map might by a cynic, be considered something of a copy 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 entity database. how they will affect you going forward? and we know that specifically the most contentious issues were run the price gap importing natural gas from outside of the european union. the concern is that if you kept the price that there 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 all 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, well, 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 mind some anchor off on got 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 coordinating early on in order to prepare for winter 2023. he doesn't. but tim blake, off to invent at rance one neither are the things like benchmarks on liquid natural gas that have been agreed ways to link 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 a trying to do is trying to make sure that prices for consumers heating their homes through the winter in the european union are 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 to here? there's been some big discussions about ukraine and also china. there's sort of a turning of the language towards china. they always call it a 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 mr. lensky. the ukranian president says that they need 3000000000 euros a month in order for just basic infrastructure, heating, electricity, etc, 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 will 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 there 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 think i'll be corresponded jetpack. it's more storage making headlines around

the world will start in pakistan. we are a former prime minister, emron con, has been barred from political office for 5 years. the country's election commission says he's guilty of corruption by selling official gifts he received while in office with the cons. said to be planning a legal challenge. there was a lot of long time ally, a former u. s. president. donald trump, steve bannon, has been sentenced to 4 months in prison. he refused to testify before congress about vega, january 6th attack on the capital. the judge allowed him to stay free, pending an appeal against his conviction, november 1 by the ministry. the crimes presidents as accused russia planning to blow up a vital hydro electric dam in the occupied, hast on regent flooding. mi zelinski says russian troops of mine, me a whole car, a power plant on the denise pro river, putting hundreds of thousands of people in danger. of flooding, if the dam is destroyed, xanax seen some mighty, according to our information,

the aggregate st damn of the car kafka, hydro electric power plant were mine by russian terrorists. 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 unknown the stove. the w correspondent mathias putting it in cave, told us mo, the attacks on ukrainian energy infrastructure continue just before the winter, and new concerns are rising around the dam inova kafka in the occupied territories in the hassan region. the ukranian president has accused russia of having mind the dam, possibly planning to blow it up. if the russian troops retreat speculations about a retreat of the russian troops have been around since the russians admitted that they were in trouble in the region, russia itself denies this. it accuses ukraine of planning to blow up the damn. if this dam would be damaged and if it would break,

this would have severe consequences. possibly, the whole city of hassan would be flooded. it would be a disaster. it is pulling in cave. will the kremlin massa call up of russian rivers, reservists to fight in ukraine? and of a wave of protest, tens of thousands simply left the country to avoid being drafted. some of those who went to ukraine of napping, killed with their bodies returning home for burial. ringback ah, he was one of the 1st men sent to bolster russian troops on the front lines. but just 10 days later, our tom, you're by, it was dead killed while fighting in ukraine's kiss on region. friends and relatives in his home town of commence, gretzky bitten by a farewell. we seek that boy. we will always remember our heroes. we are proud of our compatriots, the young man here from the euros eternal glory to the hero. in loving memory rule

c. a. globe by me. anybody of picked up his draft noticed voluntarily. his brother says he had combat experience and was eager to fight for russia in its so called special operation. on whom william amanda, a soldier. he always was. then he set out to defend his homeland commands. gal rosky is a small city in western russia far from the front lines. despite the fallen soldiers from the region, many people here don't feel personally affected by the war we're watching for the events that are happening are really not good, but i haven't noticed any effects. usually a cool. i said, i would like it to be resolved peacefully for everyone to be home and no one killed that. it's not up to me. that's up to other people. yes, it does. it the way,

even if there is war, it can't solve political conflicts. but i me, our president who is above us, can do that. we ordinary citizens caught help in any way, was another one that person of are much more barrels for soldiers who died fighting ukraine. officials in cummins corral ski. don't want to speak with us about the fallen men. germany is delivering weapons to ukraine. a decision that has angered some here the grief is mixed with a desire for revenge against ukraine. where if they be him, will know joy then and restore order there. the other order in our ukraine, where our brother and sisters, larry in, you don't get your city missouri, not sure, but i did just a video to work with were the time will come and we elders will also go there when we are called because it is the duty of every man to defend his homeland.

the word is official, defending the homeland also means in ukraine. no matter where our homeland calls us . we go there. one last salute for our gym if i, if here wonder how many more will return home like heeded in a coffin with 1st of 9000 russian troops arrived in bella rues. mens can moscow say they're setting up a joint unit to defend the bellows. his borders in slater, alexander lucas shanker, claims his country face is stretch from neighboring ukraine on its western allies. you cried, accuses moscow trying to draw belarus into the wall. a train said to be carrying russian military vehicles arrives in belarus.

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 joined neighbour. russia is really happening properly with her. 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 billiards to strengthen their borders, and to make everyone feel how he nightmare, the peoples of russia and billows. our daughter, alexandra lucas, jenko announces last for a joint military unit. more than a week ago, mince kids sense confirmed that around 9000 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 belarus in its war against cave, including launching air strikes from their 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. every year her new bella roses claimed to show its giving these russian soldiers a warm welcome. but once the show is over, no one's quite sure what will happen next. will you katerina schulman is a political scientist who left russia shortly after the war started. she told me why she thinks russia and bell roofs of set up this joint unit. actually the position

of the fil, a russian president, alexander lucas shanker, is one of the most remarkable in political history. he is stranded between 3 and it is all of which one human way and all each of which is more powerful than he is on the west. russia and his own people, and yet human, the managers to preserve 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 rush and meet me styles. 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 independence from russia. but this sounds like a step away from that study 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 hill, 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 office kind and yet somehow nothing very material now happened after

that it may be that now our location call will find it impossible to any longer feed. he's dangerous neighbor when he's dangerous ally, or with just with words, 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 20250000 or bill russia, mildred, to fight alongside with russia to kathrina schulman and the president here, her anne's olympic committee says climate alma's recovery will not be punished for competing in an international event without a mandatory headscarf recovery isn't the 1st arabian woman to break the rule. in 2019 boxes said i've had them one an international fight without a he job. but unlike recovery, adam didn't go home to run after the competition. it was 3 years ago. saddam hudden was working out,

having won her 1st international fight, the 1st of any iranian woman in the aftermath of victory. this was how she looked in the colors of the flag green top over red shorts and no hid job. she was to fly back to iran before long, but she says an arrest warrant was issued for her. she stayed in france. i decided to lay low and were just study. i've always named that speaking out against the government in iran is a very dangerous activity. that's why i've stayed silent the past 3 years, not for me, but for my family in iran, but seeing the deadly policing pushback to recent protests over the death of young gina masa armine. while in the custody of iran's morality police was too much. i mean, he was accused of wearing her her job too loosely. in france, hud am goes without a head covering and fears for the protesters back home,

who want women to be able to decide on his job for themselves. and sooner they arrest people. the government, they kill people and i'm afraid for people's lives, but that's why i don't know. i hope that it all works out, but i'm not very optimistic as when she's battling a strong opponent. hadn't believed the change of tactics is in order for the protestors she seen a fellow iranian athlete, illness, rackaboto who went without her job while competing, hustled home and in the process kept to the government's pro, head covers line. a line had em crosses every day. but well, outside of iran, you're washing d w. a coming up next to news asia is china heading for award with us will bring to an in depth interview with chime and experts and former australian prime minister,
