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.

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
