prices. but germany and france remain divided on how to achieve ah i'm fil gale. welcome to the program. authorities in nigeria, a warning of a looming hunger crisis as the worse to flooding for a decade kills at least 600 people. and these more than a 1000000 homeless even before the floods hit, the government was battling high inflation and food shortages. and the un had ward of catastrophic levels of hunger. this is what the rainy season usually looks like. and i'm rusty in se hello jerry. and this is what the scene 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 out of 36 states have been affected. and ambrose thief 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 clothes that i'm wearing and 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 your help with should help us please local and yields and philanthropists as crumbling to help where they can. people here see the feel neglected by the government. the government manager here haven't gone and not seen any residents

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 though they received only one in science of the flood, they never foresaw at this level of destruction and with the number of farmlands that have been 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. date of the correspondence for his shakara 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 niger and emergency magic em management agency is doing their best to reach out to people who are being affected by these flaws. what you have to understand are 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 envy sasha, like they didn't seed commune. and so reaching out, so up to every one or been able to reach out to every one, you know, immediately is almost impossible. so many people are just re lane right now on and use on philanthropies to send their money. i mean, we are talking about almost a whole of nigeria been affected 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 coming up in a, 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 of course, that means that we are going to see less how there's less produce coming in in the coming months because farmers aft planted their crops. and now 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 . and the worst of plugs in decade and blame is being a portion not just to climate change, but also to poor planning eggs. exactly. the nigerian 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 coming, but not much was done to prepare people for it and also to, you know, stuck up on food. what's here? i was relief items for people that might be affected, you know, and apart from that, there is a dam in a neighboring cameroon, that releases water every year. and what that flows through the revolving, every been way based on that is what's also a mix. the flooding issue very, very bad. so this happens every year, just this year in particular, the damage and the destruction is just on presented. it's one like we've not seen in, in about 10 years, 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 minute fast 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 have this attitude like there is nothing they can really do to, to salvage the situation. so 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 hardly hit by this and yes, it's not just the 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 fortunately 40 after that damn is 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. flourish to cora in lagos.

take a look at so small store is making news around the world now. and captain abraham troy has been sworn in spokane, fossils intern, president asked monthly 34 year old lead the country 2nd crew in less than a year or a said his main task was to fight against the hottest insurgence. a presidential election is planned for july 2024, ga maloney's, 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. maloney's brothers of italy party won last month's election before that the united states were donald trump's former advisor and to right wing agitator. steve bannon has been sentenced to 4 months in jail for refusing to cooperate with lawmakers investigating the january 6th attack on the us capital. a he'll not, he won't go to prison straight away, but remains free,

special house coming to investigating the jury. 6 attack on the capital by trump supporters who are aiming to blog the certification of biden's presidential campaign with the committee members were asking for a testimony and documents from bantam, because he was to leave to be in contact with donald trump during the weeks leading to the attack on the capital. so bannon is now the 1st person to be incarcerated for contempt of congress in more than half a century. and this sense, of course, an important and a very clear message to others involved in the source of the capital and turner 6. and it said a 2 year standard for future cases, referred to the justice department by the committee investigating the capital attack. and for those of us who don't or follow us politics closely, just remind us how bigger fish mr. bowden wash whilst he fan and was the mastermind behind donald trump's presidential campaign. he's 68 years

old. he is a, me executive and a right wing political strategies to serve as an advisor in the trump white house. and he remained in contact with trump even after he was pushed out. he's also directly connected to the storm of the capital on january 6th. that is old, so because on january 5th, one day before that he said in one of his shows, tomorrow will be a big day mark this day it will be huge. and a day later, we all knew what he was referring to the attack on the capital. so he is a well known figure and support are a former president, trump. and one of the funders of, of the whole matter movement. the make america great again movement. and so is this the end of his legal troubles? well, probably not balance, legal travels do not ent with this single case 2 years ago in august 2020. he was charged with a wire fraud and, and money laundering over this involvement in fundraising efforts for donald trump, the us mexico border war and trump part on him or for,
