infrastructure and Resource Management and many indians are struggling to get enough water. India is drawing this summer. This train is carrying water to chennai indias commented Fracturing Hub because they are simply out and indias Tech Hub Pingala Route is also down to 0 Climate Change and bad Water Management mean that indian cities are running on empty and no more so than in new delhi. This is where rich politicians and Business Leaders as well as this stuff dont have to worry but millions of poor people are now unable to access enough to drink waiting on a legal and on regulated water tanks. On the issue that were facing is that we dont get enough water we have a big family and we only get 8. 00 to 16. 00 leaders every 3 days we dont even have enough to drink that.

Police in new zealand have hailed the outstanding response from gun owners as they handed in more than 200. 00 prohibited firearms on the 1st day of a Buyback Program the buyback takes place 4 months after the countrys worst ever
mass shooting on march 15th this year an australian White Supremacist shot and killed 51. 00 people on 2 mosques in christchurch or so people were injured saturdays events was the 1st Of Hundreds of scheduled buybacks planned in the country. For more on that im joined by Alexander Fox hes a journalist in christchurch now it sounds like todays gun buyback went smoothly has there been any resistance to this so far. Well not to be not too many to be honest because most of the people were very happy to hand the weapons back to the polies and they got some money in return just because of what happened and question its left them of so much harm or so however a council of licensed Firearms Owners Spokesperson said that some owners were unhappy with the Compensation Package that was ripped out on wholesale were raids rather than Retail Prices but the overall response was really really good to be
honest. So as we heard some 200 firearms were turned in today can you put that number into perspective for us i mean how much of a dent does this make in the number of weapons in new zealand yeah it was exactly 825 firearms and 217 pats such just munition for example that were handed back by 169 Weapon Owners you have to imagine that there is probably 1. 21. 5000000 Firearms In New Zealand and of these the government expects that only 13 fairs and 500 firearms are military style simply out to take weapons so if the people keep up going to the for those even they will be really good and handing most of those weapons back to the government and if they dont in this half year where this. Now they yet they have to be that is
a legal so if you will own a semiautomatic weapon are that is even you have to face prosecution maybe so you said some 13000. 00 now illegal weapons still in the country how will the government verify that those weapons and those gun owners are giving them over to the government. Well just as i said were going our noses have to reach a star online and then they have to go through those earrings and have to hand their weapons back in return that gives they get some money from the government the new Zealand Government will provide 200000000. 00 new zealand dollars for to pay the owners back and if you as a weapon are not geralds hence you have been then then you break the law to be honest and you have to Price Prosecution big buyback happening there in new zealand thank you very much Alexandra Fox for us in christchurch all right
to tennis now and in the Womens Wimbledon Final Serena Williams will be taking on simona halep later today serenus looking for her 8th victory of the All England Club but she has another even greater milestone in mind one more major Tournament Title would bring her level with australias Margaret Court as the most successful player of all time. I really would be on the cusp of making tennis history. Already a legend and considered one of the greats of the sport 37 year old passion for the game. I love when i do not wake up every morning and i get to be fit and i get to play sport and i get to play in front of crowds like at wimbledon not everyone can do that you know its like if you really just kind of break it down and have a great job and i love what i do and im still pretty sure what i do so that she places
a very unpredictable opponent in simona halep. How the person chasing her very 1st wimbledon title. Heard its an amazing feeling them really excited in those so nervous because of this place One Of The Best moments of my life so im trying just to enjoy as much as possible and could be happy that they could go through the fight. Williams can take comfort in the numbers shes won 9 of their previous 10 meetings but this isnt just serena versus halep its reno versus history. Shes within touching distance of equalling Margaret Court 24 major wins. A record that stood for 46 Years Williams is now just one match from equalling it but since winning her last major in 2017 she struggled to overcome that last hurdle losing in last years us open and wimbledon finals. So rayna needs 2 more slams to stand alone as the greatest she may turn 38 in september but few would bet against her
setting yet another milestone.
