9:11 am
evacuated for fear of the dangers that that may pose still in the coming days. despite the fact that the weather is now certainly turned more mercifully the previous, we can now just to get a sense of perspective, we understand that most of slovenia as population, has been affected in some way by this natural disaster. can you help put that into perspective for us? this is a small country, a relatively small european country with a population of, of like 2000000 people in large swedes of the country were affected by the storms. but because of the small nature of the population, most people here were told, knew somebody that impacted directly. and of course, there's the impact also on the basis. there's no way that community sense there was a real sense of solidarity here just in the past few minutes. we've seen a dozens of people arriving. we of bottles of fresh walter with shovels ready to come and volunteer to try and help on. authorities even had to issue a warning to say, you know, if you want to volunteer with the clean up,
9:12 am
please make sure you're not too vulnerable. that you're not someone who is pregnant or a child because the risk of infectious disease because more people are turning up to volunteer than these the infrastructure necessarily to help with. so this certainly is a sense of community and a sense of solidarity here in this toyota onto this. all right, so right the wants people trying to clean up the mess the down. there is the rules by these floods. an outpouring of help from volunteers. but what about the official response? what have we seen there so far? well, local officials, we've seen, has had people just coming up to them saying that we suffered this damage to our house, to our corporate team. what can we do and the government has been doing what it can we seen military here, for example, but as a small country would be a, has cold on help from its neighbors, from the european union. and from nature, when we know that germany has a subordinate things, some prefabricated creatures front is also going to be detecting some machinery. there will be some helicopters on the waist. this will be new,

9:17 am
i play my course as the phone and the loan receives there was an intense fighting on the border that separate skills from being he sense a small group to go and help boys have already arrived to fill the places. some are already here. practicing with wouldn't in thought guns the scope of the student preparation works on both stores and that's why i was calling for a separate state nor normally is clear for her. it's time for things to change are very voters, our fathers have the money separately. we use reason for our community. the n tuesday is, is clear as the hunt for somewhere to put didn't message and settle on the wall of a hospital. so these paintings are going to be, these are made by our very own people,

9:19 am
have that the is the next generation of fighters spinning to fight. and for more on this, i'm delighted to welcome kish. they've got to charge e a professor and dean of the general school of journalism in india. thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us to start. help us understand the context here. what sparks this latest conflict between these 2 ethnic groups as well, uh, you know, for, for people who are on initiated to this region, this is up in the northeastern body of india. but it also has for us both of those with me on march with china launching on the other side, geo. but it could be a very, very important bought of india. it also is quite a door to which india proposals and has been working on this policy on act east or look east, which means looking east, west to as far east wide street and other activities. so that is the context gotten
9:20 am
the geographical of the geo political importance of this place. but it's also a place which has been ravaged by and guns by mid rise ation by not only by separate discovery allows, but also by state, depression and force for are almost over predictions and numerous. um get it out that's all laid out. bad are the 2 communities that they're talking about right now. the may be and the cookies, both on indigenous communities, which means they are being dead for generations. the may they of course believe that they are, it is bad land on the cookies that are the site does a problem which is uh, not unfamiliar to that part of india because the inside or outside the conundrum has defined and redefined the identity politics. and that's no national massage of all various groups out there, some um, some on armed. but i think uh, you know, off to yours of insurgency or separate just uh, get a, uh, uh,
9:21 am
activities out there. um, what we see like now is the proliferation. and the sudden implosion of ethnic identities and violence. so that is the context really under which the, the civil war at all dad is being a bitch cit boulevard had been going on for the last couple of months. in fact, the law enforcing a decided legend li are also taking the box are also pitched into back. let's say that it's not just the 2 communities. there is a stage law enforcement agency and a central law enforcement agency which are the longer head one alleging that the other is wanting the community. yeah, so long are running tensions and plenty of complex geopolitical considerations there. but i'm, i'm curious why we're seeing this kick off now in the last 3 months, has something happened to that has really caused this conflict to escalate? well, i would argue that the heart of this conflict of land, but that will be,
9:22 am
do some mystic to really say in this area, the state of money for this province of money poor really is has a value and has the hills. now the may be one of the communities won't consider themselves to be the, the owner of this whole state. who are the kings and the king make up they, uh, are concentrated in the valley. and because all the sudden, you know, not in place of that they have in the indian constitution, which means they are of the general categories, not should deal which category. they cannot buy, land outside does body. but they, they feed the diet area bags. and why shouldn't they be able to go outside that body and by then, and then or does that. but that is the cause of this fiction between the people who occupied the hills on the part of the data and the people who are in the, in the value concentrated, who are and just to jump. and i'm sorry for interrupting you. but i'm also wondering if there's a role of the central government in this conflict, is it?
9:23 am
is it seen as a neutral mitigating force here on the door? the central forces may be seen by one hour community, and these are new to the 4th of the buffer zone. but definitely not the central government. the state of india has been absolutely absent out there as much as the state of government, which means the local government and the central government both have been completely absent. dallas money board has been, you know, facing on bearable losses. people in morning the dead of burials having happened over the last since the sins of the trouble started off of not just one or 2, but dozens and dozens of the dead bodies lying in, the more people unable to bury the dead. and they have been authorized by the political machinations of the sent around of the states. so in that sense, the indian prime minister didn't get home minnesota, they died, you know, the constitutional,
9:24 am
the entire and the police law enforcing machinery of the country. and all this happen, i culpable for what is happening all bad in the say to money. well, thank you so much for joining us. i'm afraid we're gonna have to leave it. there are plenty of plenty to talk about, but no more time that is actually about to charge you from the gentle school of journalism in india. appreciate your insights and leaders of age amazon nations are meeting in brazil this week to discuss challenges facing the green forest. one of those challenges the illegal drug trade improve thousands of hector is a forest, has been cut down for cocaine production. the small village of peak about the tucked away in the amazon rain forest says that the rest so makes his way through his fields close to menu national park. one of the most bio diverse areas in the world here is uh, grows coke implants. a low maintenance shrub farm is can quickly, on money from its full harvest to yeah. slower maintenance on this
