Noorani Krishnan is in Delhi 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 block 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 you know who been battered by this what's been now been described as a national disaster for that moment right now the appealing to people from living abroad that a lot of help which is coming in from the Gulf a good number of Keralite says they called Live in the u.a.e. And shouted in other places that money is going in from there but at this particular point money is not so important the real immediate job at hand is to risk 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 risky effort is not on the almost right now 70 droppers $24.00 airplanes $550.00 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 living in relief camps and believe gams 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 to be hopefully be made next week and that time you'll be looking staring at an a.p. To make outbreak that was in the early 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 here it followed a robbery which local people blamed on the new arrivals in response they burned down the migrant shelter and he migrant feeling is growing across South America Ecuador the latest to impose restrictions on Venezuelans a sudden announcement left thousands of people stuck at border crossings board again I thank him but on the promise of growing him and got there we were on the road already when they put out that news just like that.

With the Ecuadorian border now close 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 Celia Hatton is on the stage at a and she is 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 c. 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 moon where actually asking you to share this space with us and recognize that it astray is population was Aboriginal and trash and of her were 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 earning extra troops to the border town of poker 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 That's 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 charted passive smoking was likely to. 7 deaths to every $100000.00 nonsmoking adults 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 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 if that was 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 be 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 hug a great expense this year they're stressing how is 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 or Thora he is angry to Canada called for the release of detained civil society activists in the kingdom Sony 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 them so when Saudi's national airline suspended Canadian operations on the 13th the had 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 but 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. Present time until you're deported only handful of people really spoke to us about this I think in general you got the sense that people were 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 have nothing to do with these politics but you know we did hear some people express their discomfort with Canada's position it's really not for our government to be interfering with the affairs of the kingdom and then 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 in 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 Phil Mercer reports from Sydney there's a new push to make the government do so 30 years after a broken promise. A. Training. The idea of between the Aboriginal people and the government are the people of its 30 years since Bob Corker former prime minister promised an accord with Indigenous Australians early next year. Is that yearly Aboriginal people should decide one of the. That you want to trade but that momentum was lost and Mr Hawks promise was never kept. India's protest from treaty was released a few years later but promises can disappear just like writing in the sounds 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 follow that up well it's dragons but it's journey the prices are truthtelling and agreement and trade is not beyond the capacity of us. 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 Council indigenous leaders including Josie Douglas and Sally scales from Central Australia so that while these are early steps toward separate treaties in Victoria and the Northern Territory they are nevertheless monumental we're not waiting around there are rare for the current prime minister to have a change of heart we are getting on with it state by state territory by territory we're not asking for the. Well actually ask you to share this space with us and recognise that. Population was Aboriginal. And I think that's the way we do it when you look at the same sex marriage you know politicians are cut their ventilation. Holes and 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. It generous and strains 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 film us are reporting now Jerry has some of the other stories from Ali's desk Chinese police have arrested $26.00 people in the northwestern province of Chink I accusing them of stealing really examinations and tongue dentistry burial site the Chinese Ministry of Public Security said the gang had seized almost $650.00 objects including Goldens over country and jury dating back to the 7th century the suspects then allegedly attempted to sell the stolen goods for approximately $11000000.00.

Who's the bad. It goes on calling announcing its presence in. The world as you've never heard it before. You're listening to living with nature on the b.b.c. World Service My name is Chris Watson and I'm a wildlife sound recorder and in this series which shooting into the sounds of full very different global habitats the plains the desert the mountains and 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 immerse ourselves 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. Who we heard at the start of this program described his life as being completely and tangled with tigers He spent more than 40 years as a naturalist in conservationist working with well tigers and he's 1st and counsel was in Colbert national fault. We'd gone on a family trip and in those days few went on the front back through high grass looking for tigers I was sitting on one of the elephants and we. Flushed out of tigers would to God as I was about 8 or 9 years old and I remember looking up at me and snarling the. Because she felt to be disturbed by these 8 or 10 and her friends going through high get us in Corbett. I was 89 years old but I think even now and turning 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 rub your eyes to really believe that you're looking into Tiger because it is the kind of spirit of the forest that comes with this formidable. Beauty and it overwhelms you so I think that's what happened then and that's what happens now and that's what links me to like. 6 30 in the morning still really bitingly cold although it's beautiful it's still and calm when the sun's just starting to break over the wooded hills. On the road outside a very impressive sets of green and metal gates. Which is still locked and we're waiting to be allowed in so we can present our passes and enter the cove Tiger is a. Tiger is a lies at the heart of Colbert National Park which was established in 1936 as Asia's 1st national park which stretches over 30100 square kilometers in the foothills of the Himalayas in the states of. The park is named after Edward James Colbert better known as Jim Colbert author of money tis of commode spend many years shooting tigers and leopards before concern about their future of the habits are let him. 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. 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 you Roger who grow up on the edge of the forest although today she lives in Edinburgh in Scotland where she is consul general of India because I enjoy explains the soundscape of Colbert changes throughout the day. If in but it will be just being in their different times in the forest but example in the morning as we call it our early bird. Thinks paddle and go to a young hummingbird their charging in the morning and their lake telling you that will get no Ulick up I do think and I don't believe they leave their busy inlaid you know going and then learn collecting food for themselves India after the lake in the summer when the sound that you see the forest is also like you know breathing you can hear the breathe of the flautist glide in Waterman then then some other birds will jump we call them bundle barely. For the partner and there in the evening again different words there like you know calling their friends now it's time to go back home so please come over there children later and all who are waiting in the mist They also make sound normal Mom where are you I'm hungry please bring the food so it's a different sounds or different I am and those who are living in the forest are those who are living in that area they are very familiar with that there nor there 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 chain with a guide the guides are skilled trackers who have seen tigers on many occasions but as Ritesh surgery and tell me your 1st sighting of a tiger is very special the 1st time I saw Tiger was right here in Corbett and it was I think the biggest rush that I've ever had it is amazing. So I saw my 1st tiger in center in and park called Range National Park it was late evening ridges coming out of the park and there was this beautiful Tiger just walking on the road head on towards obviously very calm you have that rush of blood and you're always anticipating you know when you're going to break the ice of seeing your 1st angle and to see this this animal you know let's just very nice experience but how do you track a tiger Well you don't just use your eyes but also your ears listening to the forest environment provides many clues as Minox assurer another of the guards explained When I 1st see you doing you start looking for a date is probably look for tricks and also keep your usal and keep listening to all the cause you to hear but has a lot of bird species would give out an arm causing that you know there's a pretty and so you know years in ice. When we are tracking a day ago one of the 1st signs to look out for is the track marks of the top marks draggers being locked in animals like to walk on the road at night quite a bit and they leave their trail marks for long distances so that's a great sign you can pick up you can make out from those marks whether it's a meal or a female How long ago it was walk on the trail what you're trying to do is they're trying to hunt isn't lucidly walking really like. 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 there may be some drip marks and things of that so that's one thing really caught for the other thing is being a predatory dog. Scares a very. Somber monkeys can also start to get active and moaning so all these animals. Jungle but. In the sea a day or so you can make out what direction again the density defeat. Can give you a pretty good indication of the growth actually there how long they also can smell it so that's how you know their intensity would be of their release but also things like. Ranging we found out by by. Taking you so you can run if you can try to actually just. Go inside a few me doesn't advance you die because the bush is pretty high but there's a jungle fog just driving across a large you know it's laughable. So you just buy your time fit for a dog to move again and sometimes for luck you would die coming out on the road again see if. And it's not just the wildlife you need to listen to but also the wind. And again. You know one little specific thing about place to be say that in the morning we have the eastern wind and in the evening we have the Vista so anybody specific specially in the forest because we see that the wind is. When the sun is in the east the wind is from based on sight when the sun is setting in the West the wind comes from the western side so that used to be and then biz to be and also like has a significance because in fought is to feel lost the diction you can followed by the direction of the wind if you didn't the morning then you. The wind is blowing on the eastern side of it I have to go you have you get some ideas about it then in the evening also you get the same letter idea that the wind is blowing from this and must be the mist that's it so that you can find your direction you know these are the usual means to be there are other things in my to find addiction and the significance of the sound and being in the south. 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 cheap approaches but not these 2 they were heading straight towards us. The other since the walk from torches to launch an elephant striding slowly down the track towards us we're. Making it rather than looking for a tree person but try. It here also instructors sneak a mouse to see. Our friends and. Pushed all the cool front and medium we're stretching here and we did a flock of 2 hours later the elephants became tired of this guy and wanted off the track so we continued deep into the south forest Sal trees are native to southern Asia they have tall 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 lairs these tiger stripes patterns from the forest floor and on the scrub. Thanks very quiet windless day can see. Seeing blue sky I took off my head through gaps in the canopy. Can hear the river never. Know it's. Right Front will. Stay. Quiet. There's an edge to it there's no real sense of calm. Looking into the undergrowth is there could be. Anything in there I. Think for now to get back in the tree. And from a 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 call if she's getting into her reproductive cycle in order to attract male Tigers and the Cubs continuous communication with mother and they can squeak like a bird because they don't like disturbing the a.t.o. Making other animals suspicious so they go eat 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 deer to when she goes out hunting when she did turns the burning is quite incredible quite incredible you can dig how a cat was $100.00 times more in volume and the whole forest echoes with its body. So sound is a vital part of. Your 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 a forest a cliff in Fife looking down 40 or 50 meters beneath is the river ram ganja and in it are 2 more predators that live in this or is freshwater crocodiles of these a Garrels and Marcus Gary. 34 metres in length and have a very long fin pointed snout in the males and fights have a sounding board on the end of a snout and the muggers stouter shorter animals with a much broader base to their snouts and narrower. Crocodiles feed on the freshwater catfish and mush that live in these waters. It is amazing to think of crocodiles living in these really cold waters not long ago snow up in the Himalayas. Back in the forests there were other sights and sounds. Of what species. Long. Black these. Monkeys and they're feeding on there's a bus Betty and it's not by permit it's a can hear the crunching nice. Printing on the. Without whites or so he says before it gets really really. Long goes found here and for bits of him Ah yes and also high up in the last they all scripted to different subspecies and central India and South in yards of quite a few homes and interestingly the monkeys form here they don't have the loud noise bridge and if you go to Central and in jungles or Southern in then those early morning and sometimes in often the evening you hear these monkeys making me love me love months but here it's completely quiet. Congregate on the troops along because they find safety because they look good is the 1st one to give the alarm color from his height and on the d. I get a lot but as soon as the deal suspicious smell low see a tiger they'll have their own for like the spot to be able to go. And then you'd have somebody oh which is the largest a shindy which will have a much deeper color it's like. So all these clothes you have to interpret it he tell you what's moving how it's moving on the most important up the father because our forests are full of the most beautiful be filed everywhere 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 it leads you to tigers and then understanding Tigers. Those who are living in the fight is needed by like us we understand that when they die good only blood comes all is monkeys and the bugs they make sound a little bit a specific sound we understand that someone is. Passing by someone 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 Val make top Hourigan It's something when you live in a forest you get to know the target as much the same thing like 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 go to investigate that alarm 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 circling over. Gradually my ears became a Chuen to the sounds of the forest some mornings were greeted by what sounded like rain but in fact it was do falling from the leaves. And lots of birds of cost including For me the familiar sounds of half sparrows. And gray headed woodpeckers. Thank you. So stricken down in the Jeep to the edge of the river going to cross the river on still watching and listening tracks down and the sound of today these are the tracks and really big ups and it looks like to me looking from the tracks actually you can make objects of the men usually tracks the pause are really big and it's broad and the marks are really splayed out tracks the whole bug Mark will be much elongated more like and I thank you that's so you can make order to me this looks like. The main tasks of the Tigers using these river beds to commute through the forest Yes They actually we have seen them using open roads and also the edge of the river so that probably they can battle better and then they are moving in the night but it is not like good hunting territory when the next president will visit all the dishes and to travel through but not to hunt and it may not be for hunting buddy immediately they go inside the forest and start stalking the bridge but it's mainly for trolling because they're very territorial in nature it's regular them going around their territory and marking that really that's where they use the roads most of the time to see our 1st trucks and the way we return to the jail and carried on deeper into the forest. To stop Daddy tracks trying times in France and the car that can make it back that way. Has just tacked on its cost I. Think the face looks like it's a. Face. Cheeks. Big skull. That look different ballots right now that I can spot them. Unless it's like that somebody has painted padding. 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 saw Tiger 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 from a few minutes of. Some sort of slow motion. Please because I thought that Alice sat down so he said his question. Asked him. But he stopped and since. I don't. See these deep oranges and black all over the counter knocks down its flanks tubes in the. Crane just as they've been this vanish and even then they blend perfectly and then just imagine home new day that we would have missed from the morning. In. The sense 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 you stripes merging black white Tony colored 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 can believe it takes your breath away it's like. The dream. Our local guides of course have seen tigers on many occasions but the thrill of an encounter never demands 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 which have been born are a lot more in the open so you do get a lot of them a lot more yes but have you heard many tigers have you heard a lot of tigers in fact hitting the target is actually more special than seeing one in a lot of times my time in the forest was almost over I'd learnt so much from my guides Ritesh men actually grew Szell and Hoshyar Cardew papper 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. Feast getting towards midnight and the end of our last day here in camp and although I've 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 meters out there. It's really dark. Really still and quiet and I can see black fingers of the soule trunks reaching up into the night sky in a few pinpricks of stars through the canopy. And I'm less. For any movement of sounds. Because I know that a tiger is out there. Well . I'm Chris Watson and you were listening to living with nature on the b.b.c. World Service for.
