Noorani Krishnan is into the Met Office right now is forecasting that they will be more rains and perhaps not so much across the state but mostly concentrated in the northern part and there's going to be a low pressure building up somewhere on the Cancun coast which is bordering Caroline the state of Maharashtra the intensity of rainfall would reduce but that's not giving any hope to the people who been battered by this what's been now been described as a national disaster for that moment right now the appealing to people come from who are living abroad there's a lot of help which is coming in from the Gulf a good number of Keralites as they called Live in the u.a.e. And in Sharjah in other places that money's pouring in from there but at this particular point money is not so important the real immediate job at hand is curious cute like you still have tens of thousands of people who are still stranded in small villages which have turned into islands and it's not saying that rescue effort is not on the almost right now 70 droppers 24 airplanes 550 motor boats which have fanned out across Canada by the army and the Navy is one of the biggest risk you operations to be carried out in India in terms of a national emergency and more importantly is that the number of people who have been displaced from their homes and those who are really living in relief camps and relief camps the numbers about 375000 people and there's no space in this relief camps anymore and a lot of people have just basically lost out everything they have little else by way of positions except for the clothes they're wearing and more importantly is that the real problem would begin to appear once the rain season will be hopefully be made next week and that time you'll be looking staring at an epidemic outbreak. That was Murali Krishnan in Delhi as Venezuela's economic problems deepen the effects are being felt across South America Ecuador has now banned Venezuelans from entering without a passport trapping thousands of people who are trying to flee hardship at home and in one border town in Brazil residents drove out hundreds of Venezuelan migrants following a robbery b.b.c. Bill Hayton reports. The town of packet I'm up on Brazil's border with Venezuela soldiers on the street protecting hundreds of Venezuelan migrants being pushed back over the front it followed a robbery which local people blamed on the new arrivals in response they've burns down the migrant shelter and she migrant feeling is growing across South America I could do all the latest to impose restrictions on Venezuelans a sudden announcement left thousands of people stuck at border crossings board again I think of him as up on the promise of growing and we got there we were on the road already when they put out that news just like that and on Wednesday we left and all of a sudden they tell us that today we would like the Ecuadorian institutions to at least help us many of these people are heading south through Colombia and Ecuador to find work in Peru in Chile but Ecuador's move his traps large numbers of Venezuelans in Colombia angering the government but with the Ecuadorian border now closed to them and no sign of an end to the economic chaos back home tens of thousands of Venezuelans will be stuck in Colombia a crisis in one country is now affecting an entire region Bill Hayton reporting. 3 people have been arrested in China over the attempted theft of tens of millions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency see happen is on East Asia today and she's here in the newsroom studio So 1st of all how are they alleged to have been trying to do this and how they caught well back in March there was a man in the Chinese city of Sochi and who claimed that his computer had been hacked and he'd lost around $14000000.00 of cryptocurrency so he reported this alleged theft to the police they then spent about 3 months on the case tracking the hackers trying to sort out how this man's computer had been hacked and then they arrested 3 people they've now accused those 3 of stealing around $87000000.00 of cryptocurrency purely by hacking into computers of people in China now China is I understand the world's leading scent of a big coin mining creation what is the official attitude in China to cryptic currencies will the Chinese government doesn't like crypto currency is to put it mildly for a few reasons partly because as you said a huge amount of electricity goes towards mining cryptocurrency in China that's because crypto currencies are essentially created by putting powerful computers to work to solve really complicated algorithms 24 hours a day and when those algorithms are solved the the owners of those computers are rewarded with cryptocurrency is that they can then on sell on to investors this around 75 percent of the world's crypto currencies are created in China and that is really sucking up a lot of energy that the government doesn't want to devote to cryptocurrency mining they'd rather you know be used towards other things also it's just a financially risky thing that the government doesn't really like they don't want people to be. Investing in crypto currency as they want people to put their money into more stable things and also to prop up Chinese banks they don't want people to be taking money out of Chinese banks and putting them towards cryptocurrency Syria thank you that was Syria happen you are listening to the b.b.c. World Service Still to come on The Newsroom we report on the push for Australia to recognize its indigenous people with a treaty we're not asking for the moment where actually asking you to share this space with us and recognise that a stray is population was aboriginal interest island of her us we're not a little later 1st Jerry has the headlines rescue efforts are being stepped up in the flood stricken Indian state of Kerala where monsoon rains have finally just Brazil is sending extra troops to the border town of Packer Rymer after clashes between residents and Venezuela migrants and the Iraqi government has been accused of torturing detainees in Mosul after the city's recapture from the Islamic state group nonsmoking adults have a higher risk of dying from serious lung disease if they grew up with parents who smoked it was according to new research from the United States it's the 1st study of its kind to identify a link between childhood exposure to secondhand smoke and death from chronic obstructive lung disease in middle age and beyond I reporter and the Wilson has been looking at the study and she is here in the newsroom studio So 1st of all tell us a little bit more about this research Well it's quite a comprehensive study undertaken by the American Cancer Society and for 22 years researches have been following over 70000 adults who have never smoked themselves but was exposed to passive smoking as children and it found that those that were exposed to smoke for 10 or more hours a week had an increased risk of death from stroke by 23 percent heart disease by 27 percent and lung disease by 42 percent compared to those who lived with nonsmokers and also found that childhood passive smoking was likely to. 7 deaths to every $100000.00 nonsmoking adult dying every year and what are they going to do with the results of the their findings then well they're offering lots of advice which is you know. Whether you're young or old secondhand smoking is dangerous and no amount of secondhand smoke is safe and it's rather obvious but the best way to her children together is to quit smoking but failing that the advice is to sort of smoke outside away from the children and protect them from harm is there anything that we can do about it if we were exposed as children. I don't think so I mean they say that you're more likely to depend on health care and suffer with chronic diseases later on in life if you have been exposed to this but I guess there's nothing really that can be done retrospectively I guess the scientists will have to come up with ways to treat her. Thank you Emma that was Emma Wilson on that report on passive smoking in Saudi Arabia an estimated 2000000 Muslims have gathered in Mecca for the beginning of the annual hard pilgrimage this year a whole raft of new measures have been rolled out in a bid to modernize the centuries old practice here's our Arab affairs editor Sebastian Usher the central significance of her age to the almost 2000000000 Muslims around the world may be unchanging as are its rituals but the way it's organized by Saudi Arabia continues to evolve hosting the pilgrimage is a matter of immense prestige and pride for Saudi Arabia and his royal family but it's a huge logistical challenge which is seen regular disasters occur from deadly stampedes to fires the Saudis have expanded modernize the infrastructure around the herds of great expense this year versus stressing how it's becoming an increasingly high tech operation with ups for translation and medical help one innovation is a so-called map from Japan where pilgrims can take a breather from the intensity of the experience such modernization is a key gambit of. Prince Mohammed bin Sandman his vision 2030 plan for Saudi Arabia is meant to allow the number of pilgrims to double in the next decade in a sign of changing times this year for the 1st time pilgrims will see Saudi women driving in the city streets but the crown prince's reforms have been double edged with dissent both from religious hardliners and liberal reformists being harshly repressed while the Saudi authorities have hailed a spirit of social change around this year's festival for many pilgrims The journey is filled with uncertainty Canadian travelers face delays returning home due to a diplomatic dispute with Saudi Arabia somebody with or it is angry to come as a call for the release of detained civil society activists in the kingdom so the finance or from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has been gauging how this has been affecting Canadians traveling on their pilgrimage it certainly seems to have affected some of that not so when Saudi's national airline suspended Canadian operations on the 13th the Hajj was only about a week or so away that left a lot of people scrambling to kind of make alternate arrangements and the travel agencies we spoke to were getting hundreds of phone calls from anxious travelers one of them had 20 cancellations in just one day and the thing is the Hajj is the journey that most Muslims will make just once in their lifetime so those who can make the trip will spend years saving up for it and it can be quite expensive packages can often cost around $15000.00 altogether so having a wrench thrown into the plans that close to the departure date would have made a lot of people very panicked and and on top of that flights for the Had you're usually quite far in advance so travel agencies were finding it very difficult to make alternate arrangements to get people home and so well getting there getting to Saudi Arabia might not have been a problem getting back was sort of up in the air and you could wind up overstaying your visa and the penalties for that can be quite sure they can range from fines of up to 10000 reality. To present time and tell your deported only handful of people really spoke to us about this I think in general you got the sense that people are keeping rather quiet about the conflict because perhaps they were unsure about the consequences of speaking ill of a country that they were about to go spend time in so when we chatted with people you know many of them took a rather diplomatic tone kind of extricating themselves from the dispute and say you know we're ordinary people going for had you know we really had nothing to do with these politics but you know we did hear some people express their discomfort with candidates position it's really not for our government to be interfering with the affairs of the kingdom and sort of toeing the Saudi government line and then there were those who I suppose might have felt a little bit more at liberty to speak freely about the situation then who weren't going for the had said they really felt the Saudi government had gone overboard that was from the finance or from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Australia is the only Commonwealth country never to have signed a treaty with its indigenous people to protect their historical rights boxes film Ursa reports from Sydney there's a new push to make the government do so 30 years after a broken promise they shall be a. Treaty. The idea between the Aboriginal people and the government and the handling of the people of Crimea it's 30 years since Paul Paul Walker former prime minister promised them a course with Indigenous Australians the next. It is that you know the Aboriginal people should decide want to be. That you want to be in that treaty but that momentum was lost and Mr Hawks promise was never kept. As a. Protest anthem treaty was released a few years later but promises can disappear just like writing in the sense of the song when they were sentiment shared by many Aboriginal Australians there was more disappointment when the Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull rejected calls to set up a parliamentary body that would have overseen a treaty but there's now a renewed push for the sort of reform that could deliver political and economic benefits to the nation's original inhabitants the opposition Labor leader Bill Shorten backs the plan I thought that out well our. Journey the pricing through telling an agreement and trading is not beyond the capacity of us Dr Rice last night Victoria's parliament cleared its 1st hurdle in establishing a treaty in that state and today the Northern Territory Government will sign a memorandum of understanding with the territories for land councils indigenous leaders including Douglas and Sally scales from Central Australia say that while these are early steps toward separate treaties in Victoria and the Northern Territory they are nevertheless monumental we're not waiting around that I am for the current prime minister to have a pot we're getting on with it state by state territory by territory we're not asking for the. Well actually to share the space with us and recognise it as a is population was Aboriginal. And I think that's the way we do it when you look at the same sex marriage politicians a couple. Polls have shown that like gay marriage most Australians would support a treaty which would protect indigenous rights an agreement could also set out practical ways to improve health and education Dr Sandra Phillips from the University of Technology Sydney says the process shouldn't be dominated by white politicians I think a treaty is a very important milestone in properly settling the relationship between Indigenous Australians and non-Indigenous Australians. Indigenous Australians have great pride in their ancient culture but the treaties they're demanding could take years or even decades to be signs Filmer so reporting now Jerry has some of the other stories from our news desk Chinese police have arrested 26 people in the northwestern province of Chink I accusing them of stealing relics from an ancient tongue Dynasty burial site the Chinese Ministry of Public Security said the gang had seized almost 650 objects including gold and silver cutlery and jury dating back to the 7th century that's our space then allegedly attempted to sell the stolen goods for approximately $11000000.00.

World Service My name is Chris Watts and I'm a wildlife sound recorder and in this series which tuning into the sounds of full very different global habitats the plains the desert the mountains the forest and exploring the relationships between the soundscapes the people and the wildlife . In this the last a full programs we're going to add muscle cells in the sounds of the forest our destination is called us National Park in northern India where I went hoping to record the role of a tiger. At the start of this program described his life as being completely old with Taiga's he spent more than 40 years as a naturalist in conservationist working with well tigers and his 1st and counsel was a national fault. We'd gone on a family trip and in those days you went on and back through high grass looking for tigers I was sitting on one of the elephants and we. Would to God as I was about 89 years old and I remember looking up at me because she felt. By he's aged 10 and since going through high Good us. I was 9 years old but I think even now and 66 the feelings always remain the same when you see a tiger it's mesmeric it is the feeling of being timeless and sometimes you have. To really believe that you're looking at a tiger because it is the kind of spirit of the forest that comes with this formidable. Beauty and. I think that's what happened then and that's what happens now and that's what links me to. It's 6 30 in the morning still really slightingly colds all that beautifully still and calm the sun's just starting to break loose over the wooded hills. On the road outside a very impressive sets of green and metal gates. Which is still locked from electing to be allowed in so we can present passes an end to the cold Tiger is still. Tiger is a lies at the heart of Colbert National Park which was established in 1936 as Asia's 1st national park it stretches over 1300 square kilometers in the foothills of the Himalayas in the states of. The park is named after Edward James Colbert's better known as Jim Colbert's author of money tis of commode but spent many years shooting tigers and leopards before concern about their future of the habits are led into playing a key role in establishing the National Park today the park is home to a rich and diverse range of wildlife including more than $200.00 Bengal tigers. Overthrew the Yanks signed on getting Office musical landscape and sorted changes Poundstone recently tried. Driving one side and tried of the river got a new stone was a small trickle of the stream down the center. And 300 meters across on the side. Pressing little steeply sided densely wooded. To its fullest all greens up and his goals Browns is the kind of struggle they sell in morning sunlight. As a wildlife sound recordist from northeast England I was immediately excited by the range of new sounds I could hear and these would also be familiar to and you run Joe who grew up on the edge of the forest over today she lives in Edinburgh in Scotland where she is consul general of India as I'm sure explains the soundscape of Colbert changes throughout the day. Beef in birds will be just being and they'd be printed times in the forest but example in the morning as we call it early birds . Sparrow go to yell hummingbirds they're charging in the morning and their leg telling you that look you know you wake up I do. And I don't believe they live their busy and later not going and then learn collecting food for themselves in the afternoon like in the summer when the sound that you see the forest is also like you know breathing you can hear the breathe of the flattest quiet environment then then some other birds will show up we call them bundle they're looking for the partner and that in the evening again different birds they're like you know falling down friends now it's time to go back so please come over there children who are waiting in the mist They also make sound normal market are you I'm hungry please bring the food so it's a different sounds are different and all who are living in the what is to those who are living in that area they are very familiar to be there then or there to what is happening who is speaking something. But of course the animal that everyone hopes to see here is the tiger. Each day a group of us traveled in an open sided cheat with a guide the guides are skilled truckers who have seen tigers on many occasions but as Ritesh surgery improve tell me your 1st sighting of a tiger is very special the 1st time I saw Tiger was right here and called it and it was I think the biggest rush that I've ever had it's just amazes me so I saw my 1st I got in Central Park called Range National Park it was leaving ridges coming out of the park and there was this beautiful Tiger just walking on the road head on can make you have that rush of blood you are always anticipating you know when you're going to break the ice of seeing your 4 stag and to see this this animal you know let's just a nice experience but how do you track a tiger Well you don't just use your eyes but also you know is listening to the forest environment provides many clues as Minox is sure a another of the guards I explained when I 1st see you doing you start looking for a date is look for tricks and also keep your usal and keep listening to the cause or to hear has a lot of bird species would give out and I'm causing you to know there's a pretty. So no use in the eyes. When we are tracking it. One of the 1st signs to look out for is the track marks as the top marks being not anonymous they like to walk on the road at night quite a bit and then move their trademarks for long distances so that's the great sign you can pick up you can make out from those marks whether it's a male or a female How long ago if it's walked on that trail what you're trying to do is it trying to hunt isn't lucidly walking very lax and usually they like to walk long distances so you can follow the trail pretty clear and then sometimes you can even make out if it's gone into the bush if you just come out from the water maybe some drip marks and things of that so that's one thing really caught for the other thing is you being a pretty tired of this these documents are scary before so they are. Somber monkeys can also suffer get active and moaning so all these animals that was dying of jungle with their alarm in the sea a day or so you can make out what direction again the intensity defeat can see if alarm can give you a pretty good indication of the time actually there how long the Web's go and they also can smell it so that's how you know their intensity would be off of their release but also things like up you call range and we found sheep by by. Taking these are you going to run if you can from banks you're going to actually just see a trail that's gone inside a few me doesn't constitute either because the bush is pretty high but there's a jungle fall just cutting across a logging You know it's laughable. As a diet so you just buy you're dying for it $40.00 to move a dam and sometimes you're lucky you could die coming out on the road again and see . And it's not just the wildlife you need to listen to but also the wind. Again. You know one where you made a specific list of you say that in the morning we have the eastern wind and in the evening we have. It's a very very specific specially in the forests because we see that the wind is. When the sun is in the east. When the sun is setting in the West from the distance like that used to be and then also lake has a significance because in forest if you lost the diction you can followed by the direction of the wind if you did in the morning then you can follow. You have you get some ideas about it then in the evening. And must be the best that's it so you can find your direction you know these are the usual means. To find a direction and the significance of this sound in. But even with all this knowledge tracking tigers is a challenge when off 1st morning we had barely gone more than a few kilometers when we were forced to stop by a pair of elephants grazing by the edge of the track usually elephants move away when a jeep approaches but not these 2 they were heading straight towards. The . Shore from striving. To try to. Retrieve person but try. You also urged. It's a sneaky must see bull elephant and. Bush still cool front and rear is judging you again just. 2 hours later the elephants became tired of this guy and wanted off the truck so we continued deep into the south forest Sol trees are native to southern Asia they have toll straight trunks up to 35 meters and their green. Leaves provide a dense canopy overhead. And where the sunlight does pierce the green canopy and strike down into the forest floor lead as these. Strides Patton's from the forest floor and on the screen of. Things very quiet windless day can see. Sky. Through gaps in the kind of play. And a river. It's. Going to. Stay. Quiet. As an edge to it has no real sense of calm. Looking into the underground quickly. And the thing in that. Thing for now to get back in the tree. And from the safety of the Jeep I listened longing to hear a tiger roar. You think it's probably a big mean Tiger doing his editorial walk warning others that he's on the prowl. Sometimes at a slightly lower pitch the female will fall if she's getting into her reproductive cycle in order to attract me Tigers and the Comes in continuous communication with mother and they can squeak like a bird because they don't like disturbing the making other animals suspicious so they go read. It and it's a very amazing sound you really have to interpret it and as they grew older. They. When they meet the mother she leaves them for the d o 2 while she goes out hunting when she returns the budding is quite incredible quite incredible you can take what how a cat and a 100 times more in volume and the whole forest echoes with this body. So sound is a vital part of all of what. You're listening to living with nature on the b.b.c. World Service the series which lets you hear the world as you've never heard it before I'm Chris Watson a wildlife sound recordist and in this the last of 4 programs we're exploring the sounds of the forest in corporate national park in India. We've come to a high points on the edge of the forest a cliff in Fife looking down 4050 meters beneath the river ram ganja and then it's a 2 more predators that live in this or is freshwater crocodiles these are Garrels . In the gallery. 34 meters in length and have a very long thin pointed snout and the males in fights have a sounding board on the end of a snout and the muggers. Shorts with a much broader base to their snouts and the narrow. Crocodiles feed on the freshwater catfish that live in these waters. It's just amazing to think of crocodiles living in these really cold waters but not long ago snow up in the Himalayas. Back in the forest there were other sights and sounds. Of what species Season 100 month long. Altar call is black this month and the feeling on this bus Betty and it's not by pundits that say can hear the crunching nice continue. Without whites or so he says before his heart. The longest found here and footprints of him Ah yes and also high up in the us they all unscripted to different subspecies and central India and South in Yalta quite a few homes and interestingly the monkeys form here they don't have the loud noise Ridgeon if you go to Central and in jungles I saw the Nintendos early morning and sometimes and often all evening you hear these monkeys making mealy mouthed me love months but here it's completely quiet. Congregate and troops along because they find safety because they look good is the 1st one to give the alarm caller from his height and in the dia get it out but as soon as the dia suspicious smells see a tiger they have their own for like the spot to be able to go. And then you'd have somebody a which is the largest station which would have a much deeper call it's like. So all these calls you have to interrupt rigidity tell you what's moving how it's moving on the most important up be followed because off are some of the most beautiful beef. So when they see a tiger ignominy give a call and take off try and fly away going. So it's a combination of all these things that leads you to tigers and then understanding Tigers. Those who are living in the father's nearby like us we understand that when they die a good ole boy comes all the monkeys and the birds they make sound a little bit a specific sound we understand that someone is passing by and of someone very special passing by and we have to keep quiet and respect that anybody who is passing by and if you live here you need to learn how to identify the sounds around you vomit top Arika It's something when you live in a forest you get to know as much the same thing if it hears for instance. Any sound of another scavenger it could be a leopard bringing down another dia the minute it hears the squeak of another Dia it would go to investigate that because it means it could have found some food so it's quite amazing the Ice Age and vision also spots vultures when vultures circling and it look at the vulture in the sky and move in the direction of the vultures to see what they're. Gradually my ears became a chew and to the sounds of the forest Simona eggs were greeted by what sounded like rain but in fights it was due falling from the leaves. And lots of birds of cost including For me the familiar sounds of house sparrows. And grey headed woodpeckers. So just written down in the Jeep to the edge of the river going to cross the river on just a little bit of watching that some tracks down in the sound him today these are the tracks and. Looks and it looks like to me looking from the tracks. Usually tracks the paws are really big and it's broad and. Laid out tracks the whole will be much elongated more like and I think that's how you can make or get to me this looks like a major us. Is using these river beds to commute through the forest Yes they actually get seen them using open roads and also edge of the river so that probably they can. And then they're moving in the night but it doesn't look good when the expert says it all the dishes and to travel through not so hunting. Yeah it may not be for hunting buddy immediately they go inside the forest and start stalking the brick but it's mainly patrolling because they're very territorial in nature it's regular them going around their territory and marking the city that's where they use the roads most of the time. And they really will return to the jeep and carry. Into the forest. To stop Daddy tracks trying times misinformation the car that can be. Pushed. Tight. In the face looks like. A face. Cheeks. Like Scott. That bright. Spot them. Close like that somebody has painted. For me it symbolizes something deep deep down in my spiritual being and it's very difficult to define that but I think that for forest communities for tribal groups when you go because it was so rare you believe that you were as close as you can be to God. Faced with such a powerful and impressive animal we all kept very still and quiet although the tiger appeared quite unconcerned by our presence and occasionally stood up walked a few paces and then flopped down again. Appeared a few minutes into. Some sort of slow motion. Please be taught that Alice backed down so he scratched. Steve. But he stuck his hand on. My dog. Saying he's so deep it's oranges and black all over the couch and looks down its flanks and tubes and then. Crane just as they can just vanish and with them they blend 50 of them just imagine how many tigers were missed on the morning of. The appearance of a tiger is something which is magical It's like sitting in a forest with a bit of green a bit of yellow in the grass suddenly the grass moves and you have this amazing apparition that comes towards Zeus stripes merging black white Tony walking in perfect symphony every muscle rippling and bit of light that catches the face of a tiger if it's the sun coming out in the morning or setting in the evening just lights it up like like something that you believe takes your breath away it's like a dream. Our local guides of course have seen tigers on many occasions but the thrill of an encounter never dens and as Ritesh told me with experience they can even learn to recognize individuals we get to know some of the animals and usually some tigers were dominant in some areas really well also some of the cubs that have been born are a lot more in the open so you do get a lot of them a lot more Yes And have you heard many tigers have you heard a lot of tigers in fact hitting a target is actually more special than seeing one a lot of times my time in the forest was almost over I'd learned so much from my guards Ritesh may not she grew Szell and Hoshyar card you pappa about the role of sound in understanding the forest and the life within it their skills had led us to an unforgettable encounter with a tiger. But there was still something I'd yet to hear the roar of a tiger. Fish getting towards midnight and the end of our last day here in Camp No them have been privileged to see a tiger I've yet to record any calls so off come right up to the top end of our camp and I'm standing by a low stone wall on the boundary between our camp and the jungle just a few metres out. It's really dark really still and quiet and I can see black fingers of the souled trunks reaching up into the night sky and a few pinpricks of stars through the canopy. And I'm listening for any movement or sounds. Because I know there are tigers out there. I'm Chris Watson and you've been listening to living with nature of the b.b.c. World Service.
