Racism why were they singled out. And south africas former president jacob zuma shrugs off corruption allegations as a character assassination during a televised inquiry but was his testimony enough to counter the evidence against a. Possible very painful anniversary for turkey. It was 3 years ago today that it failed to lead to mass purges from generals to teachers tens of thousands have been imprisoned or have lost their jobs. Im brian thomas thanks so much for joining us some 3000000 people are now on the move in nepal northern india and bangladesh fleeing flooding and high waters rescue efforts are under way as authorities warn this region faces a potential Health Crisis from water borne disease. A deadly monsoon season in much of south asia. In nepal the off the moth of mess floods and deadly landslides for the displaced theres more rain to come. In bangladesh its the same story dangerous flooding and mudslides. And for the a hinge of refugees from neighboring mine the rain and landslides have washed away thousands of hillside shelters leaving several dead. Were having problems during this rainy season getting food the kids are suffering from disease toilets and bathrooms are a problem the kids are not able to go to school and schools are falling into disrepair these are the problems we face. A huge swathe of south asia used to monsoons is affected by the floods in india arun shell pradesh west bengal and assam with well over a 1000000 people affected as well as lifestyle and crucially crops so say that the biggest loss has been the crops the sudanese farmers began sowing irrigating the land with electric pumps and all then the rain began the rainfall has also been extreme some 70 to 72 hours of continuous rainy the water level kept increasing and slowly submerge the farmlands nearly all of the crops have been destroyed. By the Climate Change means more extreme weather and many concerned about how thats affecting food systems this monsoon and a ruined harvest will be felt well beyond the end of the rainy season. Lets go now to. Wall whos standing by in delhi for us and we show whats the main priority for authorities where you are as they try to help some of those 1000000 people whove been displaced. Program a plot to tease house so long into action and while these floods have been have taken and theres been a massive loss of life they are also an annual affair in india the National DisasterResponse Force is one of the biggest in the world and has similar disasters in the past as well or you have this you know their approach to cycling finding and preparing for it was also commendable because there was actually an incredible rescue and relief effort that can also be seen on the ground here to the n. P. R. s forces are deployed all across flood just states in the country and that carrying out rescue and relief operations they have kids of people across the border in the pile as well hows the Security Forces have been deployed but there are serious challenges communication dollars are down and need high every is a blocks of these are the conditions that Security Forces and Disaster Management forces are dealing with they are actually we think for them one seusss seed so that the water levels proceed and better force can be carried out to help the people as you mentioned these monsoons or an annual event but how does this year compared to previous years. Well there are also of course that in the fall the flooding has been worse than the past few years but extreme by the conditions are also becoming more common as you are born you are in india for example there have been floods there were massive floods last year. And of course the problems over here in these mountainous regions are very different from built upon it is like mumbai or the city of chinmaya but there are other areas in india that are hit by drought studies have been formed that this is related to Climate Change and extreme weather conditions are expected to be much more than likely as we progress if nothing is done right now about this in fact there is a study by the Massachusetts Institute of technology that predicts that 80 percent off population vill be exposed to extreme weather conditions by the end of the century if more action is not taken. To prevent the fact that Climate Change is having in the supporting bangladeshs facing some special challenges with hundreds of thousands of refugees from being more now in the country will will these refugees be getting the help that they need. But bangor this of course has a very specific and of a unique challenge and we have lots of bizarre weve seen visuals from there of people in temporary housing is trying to keep up the must light since april has taken lives and is also a product of heavy rainfall but bangladesh also is different from india and nepal in that the regions were talking about in india and nepal are more mountainous regions while bangladesh is a low lying country 80 percent of the country is flood plain says wait prone to flooding and other populations among of these are also also susceptible to these just saw of course while there are programs and efforts by parties as well as International Programs like the World Food Program theres a higher risk of waterborne illnesses theres a high risk of death because of these months later thought theres an additional challenge basically to the already difficult days these will engender fisheries are leading in their future homes and emissions thanks very much for that from delhi.

They didnt people who said he would do it of trying to. Run former. Lets go straight to johannesburg in our correspondent e. J. Increases of following this for us adrian this is not the 1st time that the former president has faced corruption charges whats at stake for him this time round. Right this is a commission off inquiry that is basically trying to find out how the state capture network really came up so they dont have prosecuting powers but they can refer their finding to the relevant agencies so for jacob zuma at stake for him is mainly his refutation and hes been saying himself as he has rightly said as a victim for a long time hes been saying that even people in his home party are going against him seeing him as a scape goats and so you have to understand that zuma does not have an official position anymore in the country but he is still a very powerful man the a. N. C. The governing party is basically split in 2 major factions you have the one of the current president who is portrayed as somebody who wants to clean up his own party and then you have affection of people zuma and people around him who are trying to keep the status quo and the outcomes and findings of this commission will basically have a strong impact on the followers ship of jacob zuma just people ok now assuming its not legally required to appear at this in korea and has no process sure tauriel powers as you mentioned so why did he choose to do so. Well there was a long back and forth before that his lawyers actually asked for the questions to be handed to him before his appearing the commission refused to must bill decided to show up and as i said most likely to clear up his name because remember theres really strong allegations on the table against him reaching from using state money to build his private residence then theres a lot of allegations when it comes to an arms deal where he was. Missed but the claims are that he was involved in to that and also theres a lot of stories around his involvement with the group the family from his long term friends who are said to play a major role in this state caption it was at one point thats what the allegations say that they were even in charge of naming ministers this is how far thats what the allegations say when you know considering all of that and considering that these proceedings are being televised live across the nation this must be getting a lot of public response and interest absolutely it came as a surprise to that knows you must porter say here today normally when he has the legal hearings he always brings a lot of his supporters along because especially in his home region he still has a lot of supporters but many South Africans here i talked to they just really want to finally find out what really happened during the zuma years theres been a lot of allegations a lot of stories circulating but no court really extended any truth nobody really knows what happened so they want to hear the facts and they want to have evidence ok well perhaps well get them over the next few hours he increase for us in johannesburg thanks very much.

System look at whats behind the outage. But 1st turkey is marking 3 years since a failed coup against president bush and. Since then many questions remain unanswered including whether top members of the military or foreign powers were involved although questions remain the consequences of that coup attempt are very clear. The night of july 15th 2016 was filled with chaos and violence elements of the Turkish Armed forces launched an operation to unseat president richard eyre to one aircraft attack government buildings troops occupied bridges and squares as many as 300 people were killed. On the 15th of july officers told us it was a training operation but they just we went out onto the streets then the police came and we let the reality when they detained us. Forces loyal to heir to one put down the coup his government has since arrested tried and jailed tens of thousands of soldiers teachers journalists and other Public Servants many more have been removed from their posts they stand accused of supporting the attempted takeover or at least disloyalty to the government many more turks at home and abroad still support heir to one but thats not guaranteed to last a week currency skyrocketing inflation and high Interest Rates have shaken his grip on power relations with the west are at a low point. Then theres. An opposition figure and the next mayor of istanbul area one held the post before he ascended to the National Stage a parallel not lost on some voters. Who say much on the president was merritts well remember lu is following the same path we will see better days. No one can say when those better times for airlines opponents may come he survived the bang of a coup attempt the whimper of everyday politics may pose the bigger challenge. Lets go straight to istanbul our correspondent dorian jones dorian can you tell us how this day is being marked in turkey will it serve as a major event a vent on the turkish calendar in fact it is a National Public holiday ever since the failed coup and those commemorations started late last night not far from where i am as a public display of visual in beaches all that dramatic night of the coup showing images of turkish fighter jets bombing the Turkish Parliament and also the president ial palace but the main events are later this afternoon when the turkish president type one hes scheduled to address the public rally at the National Security headquarters in on korea on forward from that the keynote event will be here in istanbul where there will be a major event held at ataturk airport that is where i heard one made his return to the to the city on the night of the coup. Fighter planes trying to shoot down hes hes his jet and me he made a rallying call to his supporters which effectively ended to coup attempt one is expected to use these keynote addresses to rally his base and remind them of what he says of the ongoing threats to turkish democracy dorian youve been covering turkey for us for a while now including of course years before the coup how has the country changed since the. Well its been a fundamental change since the failed coup theres been an unprecedented crackdown in the country over 150000 people have been dismissed from their jobs over 70000 have been jailed 200 Media Outlets have been shut down along with dozens of journalists in this crackdown which continues to this very day and while there was a National Support of course all of turkeys parties for this initial crackdown the fight that is continuing and continuing to deepen he is leading the growing criticism that it rather than to fending democracy is more about the one using it to cite stifle criticism and that is all increasingly being voiced even within his own ranks and i think its a factor behind 2 recent electoral defeat by the president and thats why i think the president today will be trying to use these events to remind them to stay united to say that we have to have still faces for us dorian as some of those critics have been of course turkeys closest allies can you sketch for us was how what happened after the coup the crackdown has affected the state of foreign relations. Well in many ways this failed coup was a Pivotal Moment in Turkish Foreign relations theres still a great deal of anger her anger in un kuranda wrong among the 3rd ones advisors what they see was the lack of response in different shown by turkeys western allies on the night of the coup they say they are keeping key allies like the u. S. President barack obama was very slow to voice support for the coup voiced support to resist the coup saying that he only made comments from the u. S. Only came to his kid the coup its worth facing defeat added to that anger is his feeling that there was very low. Response from turkey showing support same week 2 weeks even months to come to the un critter show support for democracy that is in stark contrast to the russian president Vladimir Putin he was on the phone weve heard on all through the night its widely suspected thought of russian intelligence even forewarned one on the day of the coup that the military takeover could be looming and that has been the impetus for this marked improvement in relations between putin and earth one and at the same time while relations between turkeys western allies still remain very difficult and very tense during thanks so much for that 3 years on since the coup attempt in turkey well European Space agency says galileo satellite positioning system is offline and seen as a future rival to the United States g. P. S. Navigation network galileo has been down since friday officials are blaming the outage quote on a technical incident in his ground based equipment but they havent given any more details on what caused that breakdown galileo search and rescue service is still operational but there is no word when the Navigation Service would be back online. Rocket launches like this one were supposed to bring the European Union more independence and security. A satellite intended for the European Union. System a direct competitor to the United States g. P. S. But the system has been crippled since friday with all 22. 00 of its satellites offline officials from the European Space agency blamed the outage on a ground base infrastructure industry reports indicate a glitch at an italian monitoring station is behind the disruption. Has been in the testing phase since 2016 when fully operational it should offer Navigation Services worldwide recently more companies have begun to make use of the service including many mobile phone manufacturers however an outage of this scale is a painful misstep it may delay the European Space agencys plan to make fully operational by next year. We have some sports news for you now and in tennis this man Novak Djokovic is the mens wimbledon champion after coming through an epic 5 set encounter with fellow titan Roger Federer the mass lasted about 5 hours with the 5th set going to a tie break before the servian prevailed 1312 the winners his 5th title at wimbledon the world number one feasting on some center court grass when the match is over its the sixtys dharma 32 year old has seen grand slam success. Sells more about this incredible matches a lima Hotel Marquee from do you have used work to do. What really stood out for you was an incredibly tight match how close was favre to his 6 wimbledon were incredibly close to the point where Roger Federer could see victory he could smell it he just couldnt taste it federer in the final he had 2 points to win it but he just couldnt dig deep enough but you know somebody that could Novak Djokovic with a brilliant comeback fight and it just shows you why he is the would number one and despite Roger Federer with the better numbers he had a better of percentage he did not drop a serve in the 1st 4 sets he had a better return game he won more breakpoints it is joke of its with with his incredible defensive game his self believe that stole the show and we ended up with a game for the ages ok it would have been if it would have been his 9th right and give the federer is almost 38 years old which is old for tennis isnt it what is this was this is last wimbledon seen as a thing federer is like hes setting new standards and thats what makes him so incredible and look he may be old oh but if judging on that match yesterday he did not look any more tired than djokovic stead and again this was an extremely competitive and extremely close match it could have gone either way 0 age was do. Finitely not the reason that Roger Federer lost this match you know and weve had these conversations many times about Roger Federer whenever he loses a final you know it has to do with his age and between let me remind also review is that between 20122017 Roger Federer did a new goal a dry spell where he didnt 5 years where he didnt win any grandstand trophies but what did he do at the end of that he surprised all of us he came back he won 2017 what is it back to back a straight and opens as well as wimbledon so obviously this is a missed opportunity but the tank is still full when it comes to Roger Federer and age has not slowed him down ok so we might see him back again you never know what and also the performance against nadal that and yesterday is a testament to just how good he is you know joke about you know talk about his 16 grand slam titles so federer has a record 20.
