sites on bulgaria is black, sea coast, where car event is narrowly escaped being dragged out, to see who's got it. and we pulled people out to kind of items while the boat to be tracking them towards the sea drifting through the pay like boats. the increasing roaming of the mediterranean sea is thought to contributed to the extreme rain july reco. temperatures were recorded, leading to high water evaporation the normal. then suddenly cooler temperatures caused the water vapor to condense again into torrential rain. full greek officials say it's a degrees, has changed climate zones. but what are the numbers that we're seeing now for rainfall and walk to fly is a comfortable to what happens in southeast asia. it's like a switch to another region because i live in the p with flooding, forcing highways to close. there's yet more rain full cost back in his shop. cost

us is worried about wants to come. we're costing i think is inviting. what can i say? so cost just increase, waiting and hoping is unfortunately the only option. so let's go to grace now. where are correspondence? so if you clip talkie is standing by, she's been touring the flood zone and has just arrived in the port city of bolos, sophia, it described to us what the situation is like in the effective areas. sorry, this is the definition of destruction. what we saw on our way here from lama this morning. um the pictures we saw were like, uh, holes uh on the street. there were trees scared around people are um trying to just save themselves. um on the right there is a police blocking the main street. * behind me you can see the river alpha cut off

speed. well no, it's about 3 meters high right now. and normally it's about 5 centimeters. we've been told with the residential photos we spoke in the last 30 minutes. we are here and, and everyone is desperate. there are people crying, there are people are screaming that people fighting with the police and trying to convince them to get through the blocks streets. and it is, uh, it is really scary what we see here. and i can only imagine why people went through this night where the rain didn't really stop right now. it's very slightly raining, but it, it stops for the moment. and so if you, we understand that more heavy rainfall is forecast for that region. what advice are greek authorities giving people given what you've just described and what might still be coming? that's correct. that's correct. sorry. uh, people are advised to stay at home. uh, the emergency messages we receive on our phones are telling us to avoid to

transfers to stay in doors, especially in the area. awesome. uh, essential grease and the am i going to see about in other areas as well as um, well the country uh, this catastrophe is ongoing. so it's uh very dangerous to be on the streets and um, even driving is there a risk right now? so essential reasons, declared the state of emergency right now and everyone is on alert. the volume of rain that's already been dumped on the region is extraordinary. some say it's unprecedented. how much rain are we talking about here? so if you, sweet, we're talking about writing that, that doesn't stop writing and really, really strong. and i've never seen something like that on our way here. we couldn't even see through through the windows and also um not,

not just how much water it comes down, but also m parents with a strong wheels. and so with the conditions it's really, really dangerous. and um, it's not something greece is used to. this is something people are telling us here . um they, they live for the 1st time they, they never saw so much rain in their lives. so here, thank you very much for that update. that was so if you're a cliff talking in the port city of balls in greece, no to ukraine and the us secretary of state has announced more than a $1000000000.00 an extra aid for ukraine. and to me blinking gave details on the new a during a surprise visit to keep ours earlier. a russian attack on a busy shopping area in eastern ukraine killed at least 17 people present. below them is the landscape condemned to strike as he and this april of the yet another attack on ukraine

city. this time on a crowded market in comes the on to meet. at the 17 people were killed here by a russian missile, says he crane among them, which i know there's a deadly backdrop to us secretary of state and to be blinking 4th visit the keeps ends to start of rushes. invasion. ukraine's counter offensive was at the top of the agenda last week. keep rejected. us media report suggesting progress on the front lines was too slow, but there were no signs of tension during blankets, visit ukraine's president, instead of striking a grateful tone. usually around lincoln also met with prime minister denise me. how and foreign minister at the mutual clue, labor came to show with united front praise. but you create an effort to push the russians back. we see the progress of the counter offences

very hard. we want to make sure that the frame has what it needs to not only succeed in the counter offensive, but that's what it needs a long to make sure that it has a strong, strong sense capacity blinking announced a new aid package worth over $1000000000.00 us as delivered or pledge more than $43000000000.00 to ukraine and military 8, including air defense systems. wednesdays, brutal attacks is just how important the support was agreeable or short while ago i spoke with the w as much turned in t. v told me more about what's in that $1000000000.00 a package from the us. the right you can imagine a 1000000000 us dollar support package is going to have quite a few things in it. a long list just just to name if you, one of them will be munition for the high more system that was

a rocket launcher system that was provided last year to the ukranian troops and has been, has proven, very effective as targeting ammunition depots for example. and positions behind enemy lines. i know another thing that will be provided is artillery, rounds $105.00 and a $155.00 millimeters. this is something the ukrainians have been going through quite a rapid pace and are in dire need of the europeans. i have tried to come up with a procurement scheme. i try to wrap up their production and provide additional artillery rounds for the training. so far that hasn't mature materialized. so i can imagine the, the premium companies will gladly accept, accept those. and another thing on the list, among other others, would be equipment to bolster air defense systems, as russia continues to attack ukrainian cities on a daily basis. it's been reported max that the package also includes depleted uranium weapons. they are controversial with some saying they posed unintended

health risk for the civilian population is ukraine's government at all concerned about this. right, so this could be seen as a further escalation of what is being provided. tier 2 to the conflict of course of these uranium shells and, and bullets are made of a very dense material which allows to penetrate armor and ignite fires upon impact . so um, these are going to be a lot more effective than a traditional round and safer for tank who's using them, for example, that can use them at a greater distance. so they are quite somebody advances there. but of course they use depleted uranium. the radiation is, is, is limited and it is still believe that there are a health risk involved. there are different studies that suggest different things the radiation and doesn't appear to be the main risk with more of the chemical success city of the residue or the shrapnel, the parts that will be lying in the, in the areas of combat. so this was especially effect the post war scenario i,

i imagine this is of course, something that was was, was came into consideration when asking for this represent providing these weapons . but i imagine also that the ukranian government at the moment is more concerned about losing this war and, and losing further soldiers. max, thank you very much. the update that was our corresponded, mike turned in ukraine's capital key. it's catching up on some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. a us judge has ordered the state of texas to remove floating barriers placed on this river border with mexico. that's after the biden ministration sued over the barriers, saying that they violate federal law and res humanitarian concerns. texas governor installed the boy is complete with sol like blades and nothing in july to deter

migrant crossings. gap bones newly installed. the government has said, ousted president of the bongo is free to leave the country. citing his poor health, long ago has been under house arrest since he was forced out of office and the military coup last week. the 64 year old suffered a serious stroke during a 2018 visit. the saudi arabia that left him physically impaired mexico. some routing moreno moreno parky, has named former mexico city may or cloudy, assigned balm as its candidate for its next year's presidential election. john pounds nomination means mexico is almost certain to have its 1st female present next year after the opposition lines also chose a woman, a less goes bream cortez, the criminalized abortion. across the country ruling the laws banning the procedure are unconstitutional. the court said that penalizing abortion violated women's

human rights. abortion is already illegal in several mexican states, but the ruling will likely pay the way from wider access to the procedure. mexico is just the latest, less than american country to lose, and abortion restrictions in recent years following parts in tina, in 2020 and colombia last year. earlier we asked the w correspondent nicole reese, what led to this change in mexico is a portion of all this story is a major chain to change. a historic one is a, i would put it and i think it's human rights activists and a portion rights activists will celebrating this now because they have played a key role in this whole development. these other people who've been pushing for years, if not decades. so uh, abortion would to be legal and mexico and also as we just heard in other countries and abortion would be safe for the women who need it. so it's quite a weak victory. what's some sort of domino effect may be in mexico,

a very slow one in 2015. it was mexico cities that's pioneered boost, that's legalized abortion already. and up to today did was 12 out of $32.00 states would also already be legalizing a portion and the options for it. we get tapped to see of course, how this is being implemented, as we're not talking about just one say put 32. so this will be also a process, but it is a huge victory for human rights from social movements has been on the ground. and protesting, also of pushing forward these make installations and pressuring, also know, make us over the years still to syria, an antique government demonstrations in the countries southern province of suede have now entered their 4th week. the peaceful protests are a show of civil disobedience in a province largely populated by the drew's religious minority. the demonstrations were sparked by economic measures and acted by president bush auto sod,

now protest or say they will not stop gathering on swayed as our carumba square until they over throw the regime for the night stop, protest, day and night civil disobedience like this. aimed at president bush on an us a, in a government control province is the rear side the people want to bring down the regime. people mentioned to you to kurama square dignity square to demand freedom. most people who live here belong to the drawers community up to now they have been relatively neutral and the war. but a recent decision by the president pushed hundreds on to the street. the saw double public wages and then lifted fuel subsidies leading to a 3 phone price increase. initially,

the demands had to do with living conditions funded by she. the protest soon swelled growing thousands of demonstrators calling for an end to the stop regime. how the membership of this regime does not even have anything. it can also people, the bills are paid to be run and russia in return for the military assistance, destroyed the wealth of all of serious population. and the right james stone of the countries results has indeed an even leave 10 percent to the people to meet him dignity the human b. yes sir. in 2011. the slogan, now being tempted by protesters in suite a was heard in several cities. a said responded to those demonstrations with brutal force, punishing dissent with disappearances, imprisonment and torture. but despite the risk involved, thousands including women and children,

are again forcing their opposition to look at what happened to sway the this is what's pushing us to go down and down. the street are not scared. what more is there to have them? organizers are urging protesters to remain peaceful to prevent any escalation. all focus now was to make dignity square a success to have our voices reach the entire world from here. after destroying cymbals abuse that families group on power. protesters set up a camp at the squared signaling that they're here to stay the race to find water on the moon is hating up. several countries are trying to stake a claim with an eye to establishing future lunar colonies. recent russian and japanese attempts ended in failure, but india recently succeeded in landing at this moon's south pole. and now japan is trying again to the civic enjoy to japan's luna exploration mission. the moon

sniper is designed to land with high precision within 100 meters of its target sites on the lunar surface. tokyo is hoping it's small land for investigating noon or slim mission will allow it to join an exclusive international club, making it the fist country off to the us, china, russia, and india. to successfully land on the moon. its mission is to investigate rocks and deploy a small robot to take photographs of the country. space agency says it should reach its destination early next year. the just the launch comes just week south to india became the 1st nation to land on the luminous south pole. both india and japan are working together on a joint commission to explode, a permanently shaded luna pulse. messer and us companies are also preparing to more

emissions in the coming months. all of this works as a prelude to the next big step. the 1st man mission since 1972, which in turn full, shudders the building of luna bases which are in planning by a number of different countries all hoping to gain a permanent foothold on l closest. so let's deal neighbors and to get ahead, stones on what could be the next frontier of geo political conflict. rolling stones or rolling out some new tunes, the rock legends assembled in london to launch a new album of original material and true to their reputation. it was a noisy affair. loading stones took to the stage at hackney and pi say it's a 2, right, so i suppose direction performance. we're here to promote attack me diamonds. the bands 1st 1000, featuring original music in 18 years. taking questions from us took care of hers to
