00:00Good evening and welcome to a new episode of your show, What's Happening.
00:04Today is Tuesday, the 29th, 29th, 26th, 29th of September, 26th, and we are on the 18th of Rabu
00:15Al-Tanni. As we mentioned in yesterday's episode, the floods and deluge have returned once again
00:20to Nepal. Very difficult days, just like the previous days. They were very tough days. Nepal
00:28experienced extremely heavy rainfall, and this heavy rainfall helped melt other parts
00:37of the Glacial Lakes in the Himalayas, leading to further melting of the Himalayan Glacial
00:44Lakes. At the same time as the extremely heavy rainfall, it led to a new flood there in Nepal.
00:53Let's go watch this new clip together.
01:00For the flood that destroyed some villages because of this extremely heavy rainfall, a new flood
01:09and landslides occurred as the water level rose. These floods, of course, along with the
01:17melting of glacial lakes caused the level of the Narayani River to rise to a very dangerous level
01:24amid the heavy rainfall.
01:28Now, the estimated number of victims is 50 new casualties in addition to dozens of missing
01:35people. This number adds to the ongoing series from the previous Nepal flood. The last toll reached
01:42about 1,600 or 1,700 victims and around 6,000 missing now. New victims are added to the toll
01:52of the first flood
01:53as well, along with the missing new ones are added, and also to the missing from the first flood.
02:02And remember what I said when the flood hit Nepal. I talked about it. I talked about it in several
02:08episodes,
02:09and I was very clear. I told you it was the first and it won't be the last.
02:14This melting of glacial lakes has begun and it won't stop, especially if we add to it the effects of
02:22the El Niño
02:23monster, which has started to wreak havoc in many places around the world.
02:28Of course, let me go and see.
02:31This is the other clip and it shows how the river's waters devoured parts of the bank and swallowed some
02:38houses on the river banks
02:39as it continues to consume and destroy the remaining parts of the houses.
02:46With every flood, it devours a new section of the river bank, which is already built up with houses and
02:55buildings,
02:56naturally leading to new destruction and, of course, new victims.
03:01The heavy rains hitting the country are ongoing.
03:07Nepal. And what do you know about Nepal? El Niño continues to affect countries around the world
03:13and among the countries closest to this dangerous weather phenomenon is definitely Nepal and its glacial lakes.
03:20That's all for now. I'm with you, Ahmad. We wanted to be with you and keep the What's Happening show
03:25going here.
