here in the northern hemisphere, the summer of 2023, june july, august. we'll go down the history as the hottest ever, only to be followed by a september, says all the british are now sweltering in the longest september heat wave on record to hot there and to wet in greece. this week, some places in greece is so a years worth of rainfall in just 2 hours, flash flooding of biblical proportions. when resident saying that you can't escape by calling and remember, you'll need noah's ark. instead, i break off in berlin. this is the day, the beginning of this destruction, everything there was here, cars, garbage cans, everything was swept away. we've never experienced anything like this before in all these years. even old people we spoke with,

told us that they never experienced this phenomenon before. being free lunches and bangladesh, tysons and homecoming, and this was worse than anything with these things that we have done to the climate in the fall, we comp change that we can't get out of that. but we do still have a choice about the future and how much we change and also coming out of a woman's right to an abortion that can depend on chords and geography for american and mexican women, the north or south of the board. 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 money that they're going to our viewers watching on tv,

as in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the day with extreme weather all across europe. it's a story of been seasonal heat waves, wild fires, drought, and now devastating floods in all of this, in just the past week. a storm system called daniel has produced record rain falls across greece, figuring lands lines and sweeping entire villages away. not too far away in bulgaria and turkey, that same system has claimed at least 14 lots and on the other side of europe, it's just too hot. the u. k. being scorched by its longest september heat wave on record. we have more now and this report 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 in front of

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 won't have to be a supermarket. it's up to you, i bet believes that all the see 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, 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 divers greases emergency services have been overwhelmed with extreme weather

events. the summer after dudley wild fires read in the north for 2 weeks 30 stay the torrential rains. believe to have been made worse by the warming mediterranean, or the most extreme on record. or you want to bring in now meteorologist matthew kabuki to break down this extreme whether matthew is good to see you again. the record rainfall is being blamed on the omega dome or the omega weather system. what is the yes, good morning omega block is this is 3 different weathers. this is almost in the office direction. and the interlocking view below the space clockwise height has been clockwise and loaded in comfort, clockwise and these 3 mesh. and as a result, because you're like next year, they don't really buzz and that kind of stay stuck for a long time. as a result, some folks, one of the last part of that isn't get the same way for days at a time,

and that means that means the rain don't keep repeating and ultimately on the edge of that high pressure piece of them, that's where you can see a tendency storms, many were printing or people moving st areas and you get so it may be september, but the u. k. record gets hondas day of the year today. it is now and it's longest heat wave in september on record. how much of this is being fueled by the very warm waters of the land as well? the obviously i piece of the atmosphere. we actually just had our highest to start with your on a regular customer on record worldwide. of course your last december be june, july, august, so that's impressive in of itself. but at the same time too, there were models are, are so incredibly high health reinforce a high pressure veto. and so it was like one sort of leads to another and they keep doing ok each other at the same time to look back around the community change. and

so we know that you guys are going to become more stream, the longer, more tags and duration more in says, and actually with attitude to a more geographically expanded as well. so that's one of the big concerns with this . and ultimately, between that and the as most right here attributing to that range parmesan party or a comes in the surprise that it may be. the greek prime minister today was quoted as lamenting that the carefree summers of the past will soon cease to exist. he basically said that things will most likely get worse moving forward. what do you say to that as a media raleigh? just so i think there, there are some sort of that unfortunately i think that this juice or biggest impact race. how does that reason? recent years, flooding and driving wildfire are both being made more strict by the best means. of course, people look at that and say the 2 opposite, these be influenced by the same underlying change. and the reason is that something

called the quantities, platform relationship for every se, the air condition for uses the whole 7 percent more. what sometimes you get weather patterns where it's very dry and so the height of weather investigate the landscape, stacks more, more sure, of the ground heat up more and more getting drone, getting fire concerns other times of what we're seeing right now. you have a little bit of moisture and for more holidays and as a result you get more flooding is the same thing as the same communities. finally change the different effects and forth, exasperating disasters on both sides. one. yeah, yeah, and unfortunately we have the job of reporting more more of these disasters. matthew boone, she is always, matthew, we appreciate your time. any reporting. thank mexico's is supreme court has the criminal wise abortion in the country ruling that laws that banned the procedure are unconstitutional. the court said that penalizing abortion violated women's human rights. abortion is already legal in several and

mexican states, but this ruling will likely pay the way for wider access to the procedure. mexico is just the latest latin american country dilution abortion restrictions following argentina, back in 2020 and colombia last year. a different world this i'm joined now by beatrice. go see a nice from the wilson centers of latin america program. beatrice wrote an article recently titled, moving in opposite directions, abortion rights in latin america, and the united states. beatrice is good to have you with us on the program tonight . so north of the border of the us, federal government and the longer guarantees abortion access the opposite of what we see happening now, south of ice the portion. so this last pushed by the feminist movement here to really puts it on a highlight that women's reproductive rights in mexico,

or at least are winning a lot of space. yeah, i mean, that's an interesting point. you bring out because i know in the united states the, the debate as it has always been from women. this is, you know, our body, our rights. and you're saying that in mexico that's only part of the story. and that's the only part of the explanation for why we're seeing, basically a complete opposite when we're talking about abortion rights. and mexico mean, what has, what has, what does mexico have maybe that you don't have in us discourse as i think it several things. and you wish it really frame this as a regional 6 that i think that countries in latin america has been very successful in having a united message, a united front against the sort of dichotomies that place the abortion rights just that sexual or reproductive. right. i think one of the biggest successes that

feminist movements, or like the last thing we need does like we call them here in latin america have achieved is that reproductive rights? abortion rights are a human rights. and if you don't have a human right, if you don't guarantee those rights for women, then you're not really doing your job as to state. this obviously is very different from this course that the united states currently has. where after the jobs um uh, decision last year where the rates or how they legislate, abortion right, goes to the states. right. it's vastly different from what is happening in countries as mexico or argentina and colombia and recent years. yeah, if, if we looked at this on a global level 2 on the i was looking at the numbers only. there are only 4 countries right now in the world that have recently restricted abortion access, that's the us, poland, nicaragua, and el salvador. with that in mind,

shouldn't we be looking at this story then maybe as of the united states as the outlier here in mexico, as part of the trent? yes, we can. they denied it. states has traditionally, and it's still this on many, many issues. a beacon of citizens, right? it's right of freedom free mode of expression, freedom of gathering. but in this particular sense, the, this course on abortion has become so paula to size and especially ahead of the 2024 presidential election. but now i, women are facing in the united states more and more restrict the access to abortion care and competence. for example, as me got, i want to solve the, which is the region that i cover. you can see a tiny relationship, right? a car relation between a talk receives and lack of democratic institutions and process the width

violations of human rights. and i think that was very valuable and important for women's movements in latin america. but they have really manage to build that this course and to build an argument that's from human rights as women's rest. let me just ask you before we run out of time, considering the situation in the united states for women and abortion access, do you think we are looking at a future where we may see some american women traveling south of the rio grande to get access to ban abortion. so we are already seeing this happen, right, especially in border towns in border states. so south of, of the united states, we are already seeing collectives or feminist organizations in mexico and latin america supporting women in the united states with abortion town,

with guidance with all the g y n online care. so that it's already happening right now. the problem and then the united states is that the word abortion has become extremely politicized. extremely difficult for politicians to address. and it is something that can be managed and can be changed, but it will take time just to give you an example. 10 or 15 years ago, talking about abortion and latin america was almost impossible even 7 years ago. 95 percent foreclosure were over 2095 percent of women in latin america lived in countries where youth abortion was highly restricted. if not prohibited at all. this has changed and one of the reasons that it has is because these collective feminist movements have managed to bring a united front in the united message that has resonated with women and authorities throughout the region. beatrice garcia,

nice with the wilson centers lighting americas program, the interest we appreciate your time and your analysis tonight. thank you. thank you for having me. in the is said to welcome world leaders to the g. 20 summit in daily with 2 noticeable no show rush as president vladimir putin and chinese president, she's in pain of their absence, certainly cannot be overlooked. and it could render a joint community a impossible as divisions over the ukraine more large. let's go back in time for a minute to november 2022. at the last g 20 summit. the there was high drama, the opening ceremony, and this was a dramatic event with the war and ukraine dividing. well, the host indonesia as president. joe, could we do to made

a powerful appeal stop the war at a big stop. the war. the diplomacy was intense. joe biden, and she, jim pink, met for the 1st time in years. and again, school the, all the, somebody to achieve, both with strong working on the and with that, it was in the time since then, the war has kept raging on and the world has got even more dividers. leaving india with the massive diplomatic challenge of getting the g 20 to come together this time around. this is the man in the middle. india's main negotiate or shop i spoke to dw for this week. the challenge is to discuss with our 20 players and finally i live at an aggregate. everybody as a result ball. and that's what makes the job be challenging to we do our best this

is meant to be in this moment in this, on sharing the g 20 for the 1st time. it's positioned itself as the voice of the global south, the standing up for issues the matcher to the developing well 6 of the 12, the fastest built in countries in the world today out from africa. so the problem is does boost for african union to become a bowman and member of the g 20. this has had a huge, a very big support from all of the leaders with the word and hopefully we'll see african union and be coming up on. and then when the geo political divisions still overshadow all of this, she jim pain is not even showing up. she's decision not to come to delhi, is being seen as a real snap to india. and as a risk to the chances of a breakthrough on the increase, the pressure on the render emoji is negotiating. t is in tents. the ukraine issue may be important to some countries some far to the water,

but it's not an important issue for many other countries. all the developing countries, emerging countries for all of us view not created the ukraine wall that does not bring one issue of a water which is going on for one or the off fields in europe, send best bids on every other issue of the word you can sense real frustration that india is stuck in the middle of a crisis. that is not his fault. and yet that's the reality of the divided well that we're living in. so this, we can some, it will be a test and not just the village you would have whether the world is in any fit. stage 2 of the comments divisions said joining me now to talk for a balance. the g. 20 summit in the role of india is sewage guns only the distinguished professor of political science at indiana university professor. it's good to see you. i want to ask you 1st things 1st, who is really hosting this summit? the invitations that were sent out from deli,

um say that they are coming from the president. busy of the rock that got our attention. can you explain to our viewers, um, who is the president of what, why is that significant and does it mean india is about to change its name? yes, it is quite significant because the indian cons distribution roof as to india and part of it in the same sentence. part of it is the, is the old traditional name uh for india. and its given that the country is now in the hands of india nationalist, and particularly in the nationalist left by prime minister, a movie. it does not come as a surprise to me that they are changing the name to powder as well. of course, what they don't realize that the name india comes from the in the name of the

river in the us. and it's people who live by the river in the us who were known as the indians. so it's hardly a colonial imposition as many in the b zippy are claiming. so so, but we're not looking at the a, you know, the brand remotely trying to, to, to re brand or rename is country. that's not happening here. well, that's exactly what he's trying. brent, how, whether he succeeds in this endeavor and can bring about accounts for due snail amendment involvement is an entirely different matter. so, let me ask you about what mr. moody can hoped to realistically achieve by hosting this so that you didn't even though i have spoken before about the, the rising power rising influence of india. how crucial is this g $24.00 that momentum to continue?

well, i don't think it's the g 20 that will make a vital difference to india is a growth creat directory and it's writes, i think this is mostly symbolic and ceremonial. however, it's just a movies. hope is that it will plays very well in india and domestic politics to see all these well the that is high being antonio delhi with president biden, coming to new delhi, no less to attend the g 20 summit and with the elections looming in 2024 movies hoping to capitalize on the domestic benefits that might accrue from hosting this summit with such extraordinary fanfare. when and with major global leaders present at the summit. india is also a member of the briggs countries. we know that recently there's been

a lot of talk about the briggs nations getting together and pushing a, an attempt to dollar rise the global economy. with that in mind, put this in the mind if you can of the ranger moody this summit when he runs into president joe by. what's it going to say if president biden says never, andrew, what are you doing to my greenback? a joke movie will probably come up with some platitude and as her response to it, as i'm and no dying response, he would say, oh no mister president, i am your friend. i couldn't possibly do that. it's just that we are interested in a more multi portfolio global order reflecting the change in global politics since 1945, a very he is not going to be confrontational with biting because he values that

relationship far too much from an economic standpoint, from a military standpoint from a diplomatic standpoint. so he will find some adroit way to avoid a confrontation with bite and that all costs. yeah, i mean, he is a, he is of course a of a good politician. that is true. but how much stuff do you think it is moody? is he trying to have his cake and eat it to hear when it comes to, you know, maintaining the strong alliance with the us. and at the same time, you know, being a part of the brits community doing things that are seen as i'm a concerted effort to undermine the world's reserved currency, the us dollar. as i don't think the movie so much is committed to that the enterprise as are other members of the brakes. most importantly said the chinese and the russians. possibly the brazilians

movie wants to remain in that market collateral for them in considerable cost, as part of his vision and of india as an emerging great power and simultaneously, also do in a to keep a watch on the chinese. quite frankly, this expansion of the bricks was one of the silliest ideas imaginable. that what do, what does brazil in ethiopia have in common modern tina is in dire economic straits . i mean, this is, this is frankly a full exam because i've got 30 seconds left very, very briefly. do you think there's going to be a final communicate to come out of this summer? even if there is a final drawing to communicate, it will be an extraordinary lead,

die muted one to enable people to demonstrate some semblance of a consensus. but the problem i think, will be with the united states, which will not go a long way to communicate that does not make some adverse re response to the ukraine crisis. professor, i can't believe distinguish professor political science at indiana university professor is always good to see you. we appreciate your valuable analysis. thank you for joining us on this thursday. thank you. good night. as well. the day is almost done, the conversation, it continues on line and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day, it'll be friday. we'll see you tomorrow, 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 the russian attack. our focus on, you know,

on d. w. the spanish government is fulfilling is campaign thomas's the by increasing the minimum wage enables to bolster which is but isn't enough to do. and then to cease also being made in germany. in 60 minutes on the w, a in the office line visit is created by a voice a full crying voice. a policy goes into the b trees,

spacing goes up to $1000.00 leases of low. so in a day, forest fires evaporating large amounts of moist tune in to get the onset and learn more about the heavy, invisible river flows through the sky. start september 20th on the w. the hello and welcome to this week focused on europe. my name is live show and it's great to be back. the number of people in europe wide dying of drug consumption is on the rise. while hard drugs are illegal in most european countries, portugal has a different approach. the country radically changed its policies.
