and what we believe in tonight will look at how the european union is hoping to tackle its air pollution from the brink of to those of you watching on cbs. in the united states, in to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin this thursday in greece with a storm named daniel and its re litmus rains that authorities are describing as a biblical catastrophe. for days, downpours have a nation flooding and land slides knocked out power and left thousands without access to clean running water. at least 14 people are known to have died in the country for more than a year's worth of rain poured down here in just 24 hours. cree says it's unlike anything the country has experience before. hold on,

most of it is good for the thought. the country is dealing with a phenomenon, the likes of which we have never seen in the past. decreasing just about one in the city follows some 200000 residents were left without running water for 3rd day. there's nothing we can do about the 50 close to get the so no food to keep in the fridge. that's what up at the bathroom. we've got to say nothing at all and with us . yeah. only that we want to be a supermarket. it's up to you. i bet. beloved friend at all, stacy, everything was gone within minutes as the water passed through with the full force of a river. the destruction, everything that was here caused garbage on towns. everything was swept away to go for slipping on. helicopters, evacuated hundreds trapped in their flooded homes, many of whom had to wait for the lightning storm to calm. rescuers are still trying to reach dozens of stranded villagers using life boats

and diverse greases emergency services have been overwhelmed with extreme weather events. the summer after dudley wild fires reached in the north for 2 weeks 30 states, the torrential rains believed had been made worse by the warming mediterranean, or the most extreme on record. or correspondence of fee, except hockey, as in the greek port city of all those. as i'm sending right now, as the for me, biggest catastrophe, as i've seen today, we are in bowler since early this morning, and the fixture behind me is so real. and we're saying that we didn't, we drove up the main streets towards mount stadium, which you can see behind me. and i'm sitting literally on the spot where the sweet co op, so the sweet collapse and residents of all those are uh, come in here on the, on my left and, and trying to see what's going on there. their dogs are coming off. we're

projecting this out, it's really, really scary and. 8 my right side of the street, the street even is going a bit lower so um it looks um unreal. it is unbelievable. unbelievable. what is happening right now also um you can hear it is very, very loud. and as all the water that comes down, which is scary down from the mountains uh, based on there's even a truck, uh threes. a lot of lots. um it's, uh, it's a picture that, um, it seems like up a couple of tickets really. it's uh my, i, i'm losing my words. it was correspondence of the eclipse talking. they're reporting from greece. when now to those anti government protests in syria that are not going away. demonstrations in serious southern province and suite of are now in their 4th week. the peaceful protests or show of civil disobedience in a province largely populated by people from the drew's religious minority. now,

the protests are a reaction to economic measures inactive by president bush or outlaw sought, now protest, or to say that they will not stop gathering on sweetest alco ramos square until they overthrow the regime or 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 resume. people mentioned to you to come from a square dignity square to them on freedom. most people who live here belong to the drew's 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. and i see 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 they military assistance, destroyed the wealth of all of serious population. on the right, james stone of the countries results has and didn't 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 defend 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 square signaling that they're here to stay. well, it is a significant reversal in how mexico defines and deals with abortion. the country supreme court has ruled that abortion can no longer be deemed

a federal crime. and while the decision does not grant every woman and mexico immediate access to an abortion activist or hailing it as a significant step for the unanimous ruling by mexico's top court requires all federal public health services and institutions to offer abortions to anyone who requests it in its judgment, the country's highest court declared the middle suitable contest. so when the federal criminal penalties for abortion unconstitutional as they violate the rights of women. oh yes, i see them today next weekend society woman support networks. feminism are doing spectacular work in mexico. so that the only woman, if they so choose, have the right to an abortion in a safe way. that a, to a level the, the money that they were the decision is receiving

a mixed reaction on the streets of the catholic majority. country. is it okay? i believe that we should not take anyone's life. where's human beings? and i think it portion it is not right about the landscape. for example, when a woman is raped when they don't want to have a child, i know that many people think. oh, well, why don't you give the child up for adoption? but they don't feel the pain they went through to have it. and that's why i am in favor of abortion. a lot of what is the activists say they'll continue their lobbying to ensure all penalties are lifted at the state level as well. by when a re and nell christina was 0, she's a legal advisor for latin america and the caribbean at the center for reproductive rights. she joins me tonight from boca to columbia. christine is good to have you with this. so how do you read the supreme court decision in mexico? what does it mean for a woman there who may be seeking an abortion?

is this the green light or are there still obstacles into what? a dozen before ashley this is actually starting the sessions and these steps on him for him. precedent injuries, pollution root prevents over the rights in mexico because it's bill sap from previous judge smith in which it this river sense of my so. so for now, they practical effect is that no woman should be criminalized for accessing abortion in the a 1st stages of the pregnancy. and the every woman in all the states can go to the health care providers that are fill that out because they have a clear recreational providing these a service to them in the terms of the beginning of the supreme court. so definitely uses of my son, and this doesn't mean that everything is fixed because of we know the surrounding states and still have to change their legislation to go along with the just

prevents of the supreme court but definitely does his factory sick and it towards the prediction of relative to right, and as you say there is what the court has said and been there is what is done on the ground. what about health providers? who is say that the, the active abortion boarding a pregnancy is a conflict for them when it comes to their moral religious or ethical beliefs. what about if they refuse to carry out the abortions on that basis? where do they stand legally? so well, legally, it is clear that the court established obligations on the providers to provide the service. these means that a deb is nonsense and subjection shooting a big game. any type of officer close to access to the service. this means the old entities have no obligations to have the providers available for everyone needs

access to the service in the federal level, which means that there's no excuse to adjust. and then a negate access to this procedure in terms of a practice. if any of these, a entities and answers and that type of a condo. so if you guys have these type of mind, these are basically and forgetting their obligations. and of course, that could create responsibilities for the provide. i know back in 2021, you commented on net loosening abortion restrictions across latin america. you said that it takes a lot of time and work to change minds and perceptions for 2 years on what we're seeing and changes happen at the the court level. are you worried that you're going to see a backlash from the, the catholic church? you know, we saw in that report that there are right to life groups who say they want to do

in mexico. what we've just done in the united states as well, every time that we have on my son in on the balance of course, the reactions in both ways, both in the, in the case of supporting the balance and other cases going against it. but what is clear is, is that we have up to your tendency right now, a world wide to determine a life, a abortion from activity in the last 25 years more than 60 countries have decriminalize abortion insert them way. so with that, we some, a in new bradley stations that a projects a better rebuild the rights for women and girls around the world, and definitely be locked in and where you guys, we've been that a, the trend. this means that of course we will have reactions of what it is. clearly the, every time that we have this last on, we are building out on a better protection of river. the difference in the, the, the side global trans, on understanding that the piano call the piano low shouldn't be the way to regulate

diseases. but this issue should be seen as the public health issue and the human rights issue. these means that they should be provided as the child care system cervical, christina, or 0. what advisor for latin america and the caribbean of the center for reproductive rights constrained. we appreciate your time, did i? thank you. thank you so much for the patience. we're now to the we're in ukraine. russian officials say that the south western city of ross of own dawn has been targeted by drone strikes. the attacks come after russians struck an eastern ukrainian city on wednesday, killing at least 17 people. now the violence is overshadowed, a surprise visit the key by us secretary of state, answer the blank train attack and south west and russia. sense flames roaring into the sky. the just hours of the russian miss tile struck

a market place and refrained east giving 17 vehicles across the board of strikes come as a ukrainian town for offensive makes incremental gains in the country. south budget, slow pace, as race consents among, keeps allies on a surprise visit to bring us secretary of state and sleep. lincoln was keen to emphasize the depth of washington's commitment was a new support package with over a 1000000000 us dollars. it includes mine resistant vehicles which both keys and washington who will help break through rushes. the middle defenses shouldn't virginia ongoing. counter offense, progresses, excel rates in the past few weeks. this new assistance will help sustain it and built for the moments speaking and brussels, nato secretary, general coaches woods, and urge you states to key pump that support to meet your credit is, are gradually gaining ground and it is uh and

improves the import was on our support and also our ability and willingness to continue the support because this is heavy if i think difficult, if i think minute treat, analysts say maintaining west and support will be vital for the success of ukraine's counter offensive. and with another winter steadily approaching cave and its allies hoping for a break through sooner rather than later. well, curt volker is a former us ambassador to nato in a far more special representative to ukraine. we asked him, does he believe that the counter offensive is going well yes, i do. and i think people who had great expectations for swift recovery of territory didn't have their expectations in the right place. russia has created massive mind fields and tank traps and other forms of defensive

a protections for their occupied areas and ukrainians are being very careful in this article. and going through this, they are protecting their people. they're not throwing people at the front line like cannon fodder. and as a result it is slow going, but it's very effective. ukrainians have increasingly attacked rushes, logistical support, chains, fuel food, ammunition rail lines, road lines, depots, and they are in fact advancing their through the 1st layer mines in some areas. and they're continuing to proceed. and they are doing this without their cover. they're doing this without the modern aircraft, they're doing this stuff along the strange artillery all things that we would have assessed on. we were doing it ukrainians, doing it without investment or the nature of their current bulk or speaking with us earlier, india is said to welcome world leaders to the g. 20 summit in delhi this weekend, but 2 important decision makers will not be taking part russian president vladimir

putin and chinese president. she shouldn't think it's the 1st time that india is cheering the g 20. but she's absence from the summit. that is a said back to already strained ties between china and india. c w as chief political editor and the killer cook nursery spoke with the head of the munich security conference. kristof quite skipped about she's decision not to with that. a sinus president says he won't be attending, so we don't see china, they're at the highest level. at the same time. china is pushing within that breaks format of actually having accounts a way to what they perceive to be west and dominate his body. so talking about geostrategic development, see what, what powers are we seeing at play? do you have a lot of competition and when it comes now to the m t 20 in india for moti who is a head of elections and this is very important for him for his party. and when you are in india, you'll see him all over the place. he wants to be know seen as the leader of the

world as a present of the 20. and she doesn't like that. you know, she wants to be in the same position business. why he's pushing at briggs and to be kind of a player in bodies, a game he refuse to do that. and so you have to know, of course, that between india and china, where that breaks the scene on the, on the surface to be a good relationship is a very difficult one. china claims indian territory. they just put all the map where the territory that i would say is clearly indian is seen as chinese, so they have, they have motor classes and them and with his refusal to attend is she sense, sense, a strong message, a negative sent you a negative one because of course in this meeting where you discuss climate issues, as you said, where we can also talk about and financial issues. um we have the chrysler,

we need to discuss these issues and for sheet and not to be there. it's is, it's negative. i'm very happy that the american president, that all the d 7 leaders will attend, but it's a, it's not good at present. she refuses to come leaving some of the potential vanities aside. this clearly seems to be a power of play it and game and take as well as a yes. i mean, india right now surpassed and china is the largest country population wise. india has a stronger and economic growth rate. so i think that there is some sees words and the so therefore he doesn't one to and give moody the additional care of so that he would then use to demonstrate that he is a boss. and she, one of, of one of the many of us it's, it's that we are very happy, i think, in germany to have had to some of the like,

and i get america and know trensler solids, who don't share this vanity. but they're interested in substance. but is this also about the west kind of losing its dominance? we heard in the south africa, for instance, the south african form minutes to say this is now the age of global cells coming in as a very broad definition of what the google south is. so that means northwest. well, 1st of all, when you look at the people who attend india, it will be all the g 7. otherwise we'd be there. and, and rusher is not coming, which is good that they are not. so i know it's not coming. so it will be again, you know, it's not the global science. so they, they are, they, they score an own go there. so i think that would be the, the so called west would be strong. but there is, of course, something which is very important. and this is also, by the way, something we try to reflect that the unique security conference we have to take the concerns, the issues and the attendance is that the so called little bit south face more

seriously, we have to talk to them and i level we have to see how we, how we go into partnerships, really partnerships and adjustments on its way that was the head of the munich security conference there. crystal point skipped. all right, let's have a look now. some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world, good bones military fund, has named a former opposition leader as the prime minister of its transitional government. raymond, the gong seemed as an outspoken critic of president, ollie bung up a bundle was forced out of office in a military coup last week. the donkey must serve as bundles, prime minister from 2012 to 2014 nigeria is presidential candidate onto a bike. hard says that he will not accept a ruling by the countries election court upholding president bola to new booth election victory back in february. he's asked the court to declare the election

pollution through natasha's life plans. up in the year, she was once a cycling instructor here in brussels, thought to all that time spent in rush hour traffic tickets to on her long history . you have a, i was waking up at night and struggling to bring him out of the office. it happened several times, so i went to my doctor and he morales told me it was linked to a policy. so this really force me to reconsider my jobs for the book is. natasha says off on a new career in education on snow. take the scenic route, she's not the only one seeking a breath of fresh air. the dw researchers crunch the numbers and learns that last year. 98 percent of people in europe lived in areas where air pollution levels exceeds w. h o recommendations, power sparse? lona and athens are particularly affected, plus parts of coal producing poland and the area of northern actually arrived to milan, industry transport, agriculture, and domestic heating, oil contribute to air pollution,

which is linked to an estimated $300000.00 premature day in each year. and researchers say that's not whole, they are costs, own echo system damage on poverty cuts, costs work. these, those varies uh, care costs on florida. 3, the images. there is a cost on culture heritage damage the impacts on our heads and our finances are, you know, europe is trying harder to clean up its act. the european commission is proposing tighter legal limits on air, pollution levels and plants to make it easier for citizens to claim compensation for breaches. some of you parliamentarians are pushing for even stricter comp. when we bought one, it's uh, clean air, all lined up with the protection of the house of our citizens and then uh, follow up uh the great door. yeah, of the walls again. its going to choose from basically its follow up the criteria over this items april. she needs it like um, and this little motion pandemic,

we are talking about this guy. the size with governments here have of poor track records. most e u member states have broken the blocks current air pollution laws in the past, and some have even faced half defiance. meanwhile, on to pollution, policies like binding older cars from cities or restricting farming emissions are sometimes seen as discriminatory and often face public backlash. all which means hopes for a switch to decisive drop in air pollution may remain out of reach. and it's likely to take years before your manager is to truly clear the air. you want to do the news after a short break. i'll be back to take you through the day. stick around will be right . the

a bit of homeless fun to briefly. so guess about the war and address of the forces he on the blocks for ukrainians. this is the 2nd summarizes in fear of russian attacks. how are they coping focused on europe?
