Ukraine voted to join russia. Ah hello, im terry martin. Thanks for joining us. Its one of the strongest storms to hit the united states. Hurricane ian is slowly moving over the state of florida where it brought catastrophic flooding authorities war and its continuing to heat rain on already inundated areas. The storm has knocked out electricity for almost 2000000 residents. Lets take a look at floridas daytona beach. These are live upside down, images high winds blown over the camera. There in has been downgraded to a category one storm it. As you can see, its still causing havoc. Authorities of scrambling to respond in her warning of a long, clean up a hat slamming into florida. Hurricane e and hit the states west coast with winds of over 240 kilometers per hour. So this is a devastating storm for parts of florida, not just on the south west coast, but also inland, associated with some of these impacts. This is going to be a storm we talk about for many years to come. Its one of the most powerful storms ever recorded in the us. The authorities have warned the pounding, rain and wind will continue as the hurricane crosses florida to the atlantic ocean. The states governor says that it could take years to recover from the devastation left behind. This is a, a major, major event. Its going to be going to be a tragic event in many ways. And we understand this is not just a 48 hour ordeal. This is going to be something that is going to be there for days and weeks and months, and unfortunately, in some circumstances, even years. The flood waters as well as winds, are causing the most damage. The hurricane has knocked out electricity to more than 1000000 homes and businesses in the city of tampa. The power of the storm sucked the water right out of the bay. Even though the hurricane weakened as it moved inland authorities are warning of devastating rain, wind, and even tornadoes still to come as it tears across the state. And for more on this, im joining the studio now by john john from d w environment. Going to see you again, that were seeing. Storms hurricanes, tropical storms, typhoons. How typical is this storm activity is different from years past . So a lot of these storms are strong. Some of the strongest weve seen in history in these regions. Not the strongest necessarily. But whats clear is that as we go through the center africa, throw lifetimes, these types of storms will just become stronger. So we dont expect our scientists dont say that theyll think that they think that hurricanes and, and typhoons will become more common. But very strongest ones will be happening much more frequently. So the normal kind of extreme weather event that youre expecting will become stronger because were biting fossil fuels, heating the planet. And that a couple of ways this works. On the one hand, youve got sea level that for the higher, which means that the storm surge, you get these big events is going to be going to be a lot more water. Theyll come in. And on the other hand, you also have warm air which can hold a lot more water vapor inside it. And that means that when the rains do fall, they fall much harder. And lets face it, human kind has settled on the coastal regions with rising sea levels. Thats a problem. As our climate changes, we are talking about climate change. How difficult is it for people in vulnerable regions to adapt . So you can see people already are adapting people dont have a choice if you live in a coastline thats being eroded and youre seeing these intense storms hitting more and more powerfully than people have already decided to leave homes. People have already decided to take out higher insurance premiums to get insured if they can afford that even. And in terms of protection, theres a lot that people can do. I mean, one of the thing from a kind of big picture planning fence is to build less on flood plains build less of reasons that really exposed. But of course not every place have that option. And so you end up also needing things like building c was coming up with good evacuation plan. So the government in times of crises can clearly tell people where they need to be. They can look at their Early Warning systems and evacuate people to safety. Of course that doesnt house, but it could protect your life. This summer we saw unprecedented heat waves and droughts in different parts of the world. Now were seeing storms and flooding in multiple regions. At the same time. I know that climate scientists are modeling where all of this is going. What can you tell us about the patterns that we should anticipate . In a nutshell, the extreme weather will become more extreme. Itll become stronger. Some types of these events will become more common. Now the scale of this is kind of hard to really get your head around. I think one thing but stands out for me is that if we look to the end of the century, so kind of may, i guess ill fill, potentially be alive by that point. When you get to the end of the century, then coastal floods that kind of used to be one in a 100 year events to maybe get one a century. Theyll be hitting most of the wealth coast every single year. Thats an unimaginable scale of increased devastation. Of course, you can try to defend against that. You can come up with the walls and so on. But there will be pounding your case every year. In the near term future, were going to see heat waves of the so i mean theyve already pete wave used to hit one every, once every 50 years have become 5 times more common already. If we keep warming the plan, if we keep eating it up, these sorts of vents, are you going to get stronger . J. Thank you very much. Again, ron john from d w environment. Its catch up on some other stories making headlines around the world today. A court myanmar has sentenced ousted liter functions of cheating 3 more years in jail for violating a secret small. Its the latest in a string of convictions against her since the military seas power last year. So cheese economics, advisor, australian shown eternal, also received 3 years in prison. When u. S.

Uganda as president , has ruled out ordering a lockdown to contain an ebola outbreak. Saying his country cans control the spread without one president , you worried mus 70 said there have been 5 confirmed deaths with another 19 fatalities likely caused by the disease. There is no vaccine for the strain of the, of all the virus circulating in gun European Union is planning to bring more sanctions against russia, their brit so called referendums and occupy parts of ukraine. More russian goods could be banned and technology exports stopped. If you states agree on the steps, while sco claims up to 99 percent of residents in parts of ukraine voted yes to annexation. Now many residents are packing their bags and leaving, before russia can claim possession of the regions. These people are fleeing russian occupied east in ukraine, about a 1000 people arrive at this check point in supper reject every day. The number of those leaving has only increased since the so called referendums, calling for a formal annexation by russia began last week. They describe a procedure that is anything but democratic. We run into soldiers. They asked if we had voted. We said yes. They said, lets do it again. Some say they were forced to vote at gunpoint and soldiers checked their ballots. Speaking about the referendums, ukrainian president holiday mir salon sky thanked western leaders for condemning the fabricated vote, which seemed jugglers a thank you all for your clear and unequivocal support. Thank you all for understanding our position in one ukraine cannot and will not put up with any attempts by russia to seize any part of our land in the u. S. So lance, his predictions were echoed by the white house. These referenda are illegitimate, and frankly outrageous. We expect russia to use these sham referenda as a false pretext, to try to annex ukrainian territory and flagrant violation of International Law and the United Nations charter. In fact, russias actions are transparently fraudulent and have no legal significance whatsoever. We will never recognize these illegal and illegitimate attempts at annexation. The sham referendums prompted the you to call for new sanctions package against russia. It would be the 8th package so far and include tighter trade restrictions among them, a price cap for russian oil. Thank you madam president. The sham referenda, organized in the territories that russia occupied are an illegal attempt to grap land and to change International Borders by force. The mobilization and put in threat to use nuclear weapons, a further steps on the escalation path.

As the e u prepares. These new sanctions against russia, weapons deliveries to ukraine are being stepped up. The u. S. Is planning, deliver 18 additional rocket systems known as high mars to ukraine. I understand how much will these help ukraines military in the situation these high mas, they make a, have made a big difference in the past when they were 1st delivered. Because they can reach quite far into russian territory. And they also can hit a targets quite precisely, im so ukraine was able to disrupt the russian supply lines or destroying bridges, blowing up ammunition dumps and et cetera, et cetera. And jazz, theyre highly popular here within the army. And also they have some kind of status within also the population who follow these events some. And theyre seen as, as, as having changed the game in, in early, earlier this summer and, and shifted the balance of, of, of power to its the ukrainian army. Whether the, these next 18 ones, they will, of course, or reinforce ukraines power to, to fight. But they will not make the same difference as the 1st ones, as the russians have also been adapting to these new to these new weapons. My, for example, or dissolving their big Ammunition Depot was creating morse, smaller ones. So the impact of every single one of them would be much less than in the beginning. But of course, this is something that ukraine has been asking for because it really enhances their fireball mathias. We understand the ukranian forces have been pushing to encircle the eastern city of leman. What are you hearing about them . Yeah, the ukrainians have pushed forward from the east from the heart of region and from the south at the same time as being very close to encircling this, this city. This would be, of course, a major gain and other major gain in these weeks, but ukraine would be the 1st city that would be and circled by the ukrainian forces. The 1st seized that ukraine can lay in the 2nd stage in this war. After marie, you probably would be the 1st city or that they would be able to take back from the or from that, from the, from the dunbar region, from the russian occupy part of the don bus region. This comes just after this referendum that once is, was meant to create a more permanent grip on these regions. And were just getting the news that vladimir porch in is planning to subscribe to. To sign an agreement with the, with these are the leaders, did the russian appointed leaders of these regions to incorporate them by tomorrow. But heres thank you very much.
