well, no, and that's why actually south america, african most of south east asia and, and asia in general is not going along. and doesn't, doesn't swallow the west the narrative. i'm not entirely sure how much they believe the, the russian narrative neither but, but they got don't go along and this kind of like golden age stuff that's, that's exactly the thing that then outrageous people outside of the bubble. and this doesn't help, this doesn't help to create followers, right? this is actually an interesting point in just made that you're not sure how much they are buying their western and russian narrative. and, and these conflicts strikes me as one of the 1st conflicts where narrative don't even matter, because the countries seem to be of their own line. they are doing their own calculations. you know, i'm, they're looking at their own reality picture in order to decide where to position themselves. isn't that a new development about brought abroad in by this conflict that the, the influence of propaganda seems to be diminishing? well, the inference of propaganda is strongest inside th

this is happening across south east asia.arly 109 degrees fahrenheit — believed to be the highest ever. six cities in north and east india saw temps above tilt degrees celsius, that's 111 degrees fahrenheit. and the bangladeshi capital dhaka soared above lio degrees celsius — 104 degrees fahrenheit, the hottest day there in 58 years. the bbc�*sjoao da silva has more. in recent days we have been seeing scorching heat in parts of china as well as many parts of south and southeast asia. april and may are usually the hottest months of the year in this region, before monsoon rains begin and really bring some relief, but the fact is it's unusually hot right now, as you mentioned. we are seeing temperature records being broken in many parts and it's causing serious problems, it has already caused a number of deaths in india, a lot of people being hospitalised due to heat—related problems, there are reports of people being hospitalised due to respiratory problems in thailand where besides record temperatures, we are seeing pollution

into the korean peninsula and across a good part of japan. sunshine and showers me while across south east asia, a little more cloud, few more showers. there into her, indo china and scattering showers. i suspect the heaviest ones will be across southern and western parts of borneo. some archer, seeing some lavish hours in a fair bit of wet weather there too, just around the malay peninsula. fairbetter wet weather to just clean and cross at east the side of india. at the moment lanka, seen some lively shout as we go on through the next couple of days. i think we'll see the where to where they're making its way across. so bangladesh into the far north east of india, which is starting to fall away quite nicely. we're staying rather wet to was a staff ah, a with ah ah, book about caiaccio over there with makes a whole robin, doha, reminder of all top stories fighting between the all be on the rapid support forces has entered its 2nd week in sudan. several countries are arranging to get their diplomats and citizens out personnel that the saudi arabian mission have already been evacuated over $10000

up those chinese—language properties in the us, australia, the uk, canada and many places in south—east asiaese—language listeners and changing the content to almost exclusively pro—beijing, and firing basically all the independent reporters and coverage. so that's been very successful. i think that cgtn and china radio international, two state media outlets, have not been successful. there is an extensive range of gallup polling showing they have minimal audience share. to explain, before you go on, cgtn is the primary tv network that the chinese run. and that doesn't even include places like the united states and britain and australia, which have actually banned or put extensive limitations on those outlets. however, i do think that xinhua has the possibility to be incredibly influential, and that's because xinhua is a newswire. and so, as a result, audiences consume it passively rather than saying i'm going to turn on cgtn or i'm going to turn on china radio international. as a result, xinhua has content—sharing agreements with news outlets all over the world, including very good news out

it's hot as much on record, but we'll get there in a moment for us to south east asia and the seasonal rains continue to dominate the story here. we think some heavy for the southern parts of the philippines. much of indonesia and the malay peninsula. on sunday, no farther north of this, it has been warmer and quieter across indo china. but wasting more in the way of wet weather, creeping into southern areas of vietnam. as we stopped the new week. that was, we had down under 2 australia, we've got flood warnings, remaining, of course, pots, western australia, thanks to some more severe thunderstorms that have been breaking out to be a tropical fightin herman is working its way away from the west coast of australia to the south of christmas island, as it dissipates across most central air, is a much quieter picture. some heavier rain affecting northern areas of queens and intensifying around coastal areas and temperatures will be on the up for that southeast corner of australia. certainly for sydney over the next few days, but there'll be more in the way of wet to weather. and where to,

however, sitting very high for this time of year as we had down to south east asia. rain is the story. here we will see things get wetter. for large areas of indo china in particular, northern vietnam as well as long as that bust of heavy rain starts to push its way further south into saturday. and rain is the story as we move to south asia. typical india, we sing unusual showers, continuing through the weekend that should weather update. ah, i'm a like a vase in the south of india to find out how tiny bass in this case brought an extensive mining operation. corona virus wept across the world, devastating a fact. and it's widely believed to be connected to the legal wildlife trade. here in vietnam, we visit a rescue center for some of the world's most threatened animals and joined the call for an end to the global wildlife series. arrived on al jazeera lou. ah, again, this is 0. the main news, the south saddam's army and power military rapid support forces of agreed to extend the cease fire by off. so the 72 hours, the u. m. the african union of the u. s. civil welcome to move st. the
