Man dies in flood as Makkah is lashed by storm

One man drowned and dramatic bolts of lightning struck Makkah as the city was lashed by thunderstorms overnight on Tuesday and early on Wednesday.

Mohammed Al-Twaim, a teacher at Mina Elementary School, lost his life trying to escape from his car after it was engulfed by floodwater.

As pilgrims tried to circumambulate the Kaaba in the Grand Mosque, lightning hit the landmark Fairmont Makkah Clock Royal Tower hotel, illuminating the night sky. The storm brought gale force winds exceeding 80 kph and 45 millimetres of rain within 24 hours, said National Center for Meteorology spokesman Hussein Al-Qahtani.

Pilgrims outside the mosque were toppled over by the wind, which sent crowd barriers sliding across the rain-slicked floor. “The scene was very scary,” said Makkah resident Mohammed, who was grocery shopping at the height of the storm. “Everything happened within a few minutes, when it started raining in a crazy way.”

Al-Qahtani said the Mecca neighbourhood of al-Kakiyyah recorded 45 millimetres (1.8 inches) of rain within 24 hours.

Videos online also showed mild flooding in some neighbourhoods of Mecca, forcing citizens to take shelter and stop cars.

Conditions appeared similar to a 2015 storm that felled a crane at the Grand Mosque, or the Masjid al-Haram, the mosque enclosing the vicinity of the Kaaba, killing more than 100 people and injuring hundreds more.

Saudi authorities reported no casualties or significant incidents as a result of Tuesday’s storms.

Flash flooding had mostly dissipated by Wednesday morning, according to residents, but the situation could still prove risky.

Another resident, Abu Mayyada, was out buying cigarettes and petrol when “everything went black in front of me” as the worst of the storm hit, he said. “Suddenly I lost control over the vehicle. I couldn’t see anything so I started listening to the Qur’an on the radio. I didn’t understand what was happening.”

The Makkah governorate said schools would remain closed, with classes conducted on an e-learning platform “in the interest of everyone's safety.”

The meteorology center warned of further storms in the Makkah region and elsewhere in western Saudi Arabia.

Translation : Official spokesperson for the National Center for Meteorology: The downward winds that hit the holy capital exceeded 80km/h, and al-Kakiyyah recorded the highest amount of rain at 45mm, while the chances of rain remain moderate overall, God willing.

Moreover, the Mecca regional government said on the X platform that schools would be closed in parts of Mecca on Wednesday, with classes to be held on an e-learning platform “in the interest of everyone’s safety”.

Mecca resident Abu Mayyada told the AFP news agency he was out buying cigarettes and petrol when “everything went black in front of me” as the worst of the storm hit.

“Suddenly I lost control of the vehicle. I couldn’t see anything so I started listening to the Quran on the radio. I didn’t understand what was happening,” he said.

Mecca resident Mohammed, who like other residents asked to remain anonymous, told AFP that scenes around the Grand Mosque were very scary.

“Everything happened within a few minutes when it started raining in a crazy way,” he said.

Another resident, Yusuf, said August usually brought strong winds to Mecca but that Tuesday’s storm was “the worst” he could remember.

Putin Praises Five BRICS Nations for Firm Stance on Global Arena, Defending World Majority

Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the audience of the 15th BRICS summit, highlighting the most crucial issues of global policy and economic cooperation.

The BRICS countries have taken a firm stance on the global arena and protect the interests of the majority of world states, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.

"Our five countries have taken a firm stance on the international arena and represent a reputable entity," Putin said at a plenary session at a BRICS summit in South Africa.

The authority of the organization is constantly being strengthened because its goals meets the aspirations of the main part of the international community — the "so-called world majority," Putin added.

BRICS countries support the formation of a multipolar world order, based on the rule of international law along with the right of self-determination for all peoples, the president said, adding that the five BRICS countries oppose hegemony and the policy of neocolonialism.

On Ukrainian Crisis and Special Military Operation

Russia's actions in Ukraine are meant to put an end to the war that was unleashed against civilians by Kiev and supported by the West, Vladimir Putin said in his address.

"Russia has decided to support people who are fighting for their culture, for their traditions and their language, their future. Our actions in Ukraine are guided by only one thing — to put an end to the war that was unleashed by the West and their satellites in Ukraine against the people living in Donbass," Putin said at a plenary session at a BRICS summit in South Africa.

On Development Path for BRICS

Vladimir Putin said it is high time to establish permanent commission on transport within BRICS framework, which will work on logistics.

"An important priority for the BRICS interaction is the creation of new sustainable and safe transport routes ... We believe that the time has come to establish a permanent transport commission within the framework of BRICS, which would deal not only with the North-South project, but also, on a broader scale, with the development of logistics and transport corridors," Putin stressed.

Russia also looks forward to intensifying cooperation between the BRICS countries in the field of research, the president said, adding that Moscow is ready to share technologies.

He stressed that BRICS countries must expand settlements in national currencies and enhance cooperation between banks.

"We will contribute to the further comprehensive implementation of the BRICS economic partnership strategy until 2025 and the development of new long-term guidelines. Among them, we see a need in increasing the role of our states in the international monetary and financial system, the development of interbank cooperation, the expansion of the use of national currencies and the deepening of cooperation between tax, customs, and antimonopoly authorities," Putin said at a plenary session at the BRICS summit in South Africa.

On Women’s Role in Economy and Politics Russia supports holding a separate ministerial meeting of BRICS member states on women, whose role in the economy and politics of countries should increase, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday.

"We totally support the proposal by our South African colleagues on organizing a separate ministerial meeting on women, whose role in the political, economic and social life should undoubtedly expand," Putin said.

On Next Year BRICS Summit

Russia will chair BRICS next year and will host the summit of the leaders in the city of Kazan in October, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday.

"Next year, the BRICS chairmanship will be passed to Russia... We are planning about 200 political, economic and social events, which will be hosted in a dozen Russian cities. At the same time, we plan to hold the BRICS summit in October 2024 in Kazan," Putin said at a plenary session at a BRICS summit in South Africa.

Specific dates will be agreed through diplomatic channels, the president added. Putin also invited the BRICS countries to take part in the international cultural forum, which is scheduled to be held in St. Petersburg on November 16-18, as the event could become a platform for dialogue about the future of culture in the world.

19 Kecamatan Kab Bogor Alami Krisis Air Kawasan Puncak Terdampak

Meski di beberapa wilayah di kabupaten Bogor masih ada gerimis dan hujan ringan. Namun, hujan tersebut tidak bisa membuat kekeringan di beberapa wilayah teratasi.

Bahkan, kekeringan di Kabupaten Bogor semakin meluas. Awalnya yang kekeringan hanya 12 kecamatan, saat ini bertambah. Data dari BPBD Kabupaten Bogor mencatat, hingga 8 Agustus 2023 kekeringan meluas ke 19 kecamatan.

Kepala Bidang Pencegahan dan Kesiapsiagaan BPBD Kabupaten Bogor, Agus Suyatna memaparkan 12 kecamatan yang terdampak kekeringan itu yakni, Cijeruk, Jasinga, nanggung, Jonggol, Cibungbulang, Cisarua, Rancabungur, Tenjo, Sukajaya, Leuwisadeng, Citeureup dan Babakan Madang.

Tahun ini, kekeringan yang masuk kategori ekstrem untuk pertama kalinya melanda kawasan Puncak Bogor yaitu di Kecamatan Cisarua.

"Betul, daerah pegunungan seperti Cisarua biasanya mengandalkan air dari mata air. Karena sekarang musim kemarau, debit air dari mata air di sana pun menurun (kering)," ujar Plt Kasie Logistik BPBD Kabupaten Bogor, Cecep Dais saat dihubungi media Kompas.com, hari Rabu, 22/08/2023.

Aris mengatakan, adapun untuk jumlah jiwa yang terdampak secara keseluruhan mencapai 103.567 jiwa tersebar di 64 desa atau kelurahan.

Seiring dengan itu, permintaan bantuan air bersih pun terus meningkat hingga saat ini.

BPBD Kabupaten Bogor masih terus berupaya memasok atau menyalurkan air bersih dengan mobil tangki ke rumah warga.

Sejauh ini, kata dia, semua permohonan air bersih sedang diupayakan untuk dipenuhi.

Cecep menyebutkan, telah mengirimkan total air bersih sebanyak 1.035.000 liter.

"Sampai saat ini sudah 1.035.000 air yang disalurkan sejak tanggal 3 Mei sampai kemarin 22 Agustus 2023," ungkapnya.

Pendistribusian bantuan air dilakukan guna meringankan derita setiap warga. Mereka menggunakan air tersebut untuk kebutuhan dasar seperti mandi, masak, dan mencuci.

Karena masifnya permintaan air akibat kekeringan tersebut, Pemkab Bogor melalui BPBD mengeluarkan surat edaran siaga darurat bencana kekeringan.

Cecep mengatakan, butuh dukungan dari pihak lain agar untuk menyalurkan air bersih hingga Oktober.

Sebagai langkah antisipasi, para kades, camat agar memaksimalkan sumber daya, sarana prasarana serta pembiayaan yang tersedia untuk penanganan kekeringan di tiap wilayahnya.

"Sementara pengiriman air dari BPBD tetap berlanjut. semoga juga dapat dibantu dari dinas teknis, lembaga dan organisasi lain serta pihak dunia usaha agar turut serta membantu dalam penangan krisis air bersih untuk masyarakat di Kabupaten Bogor," jelas Cecep.

Dollar’s domination of world trade will end, Putin tells BRICS summit

A recorded message from Russian president Vladimir Putin is aired during the BRICS Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa August 22, 2023. (Reuters)

The days of the US dollar’s domination of trade among BRICS countries are numbered, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday.

Putin told the bloc’s summit that members would discuss switching trade away from the dollar and into national currencies, and the BRICS New Development Bank would play a key role.

“The objective, irreversible process of de-dollarization of our economic ties is gaining momentum,” he said. Security has been boosted across Johannesburg, where South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is hosting China’s President Xi Jinping, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and about 50 other leaders.

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Farhan bin Faisal is leading the Kingdom’s delegation at the summit, where the bloc of large emerging economies seeks to assert its voice as a counterweight to the Western-led international order. The BRICS members — Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — represent more than 40percent of the world’s population.

Putin, unable to attend in person because of an International Criminal Court arrest warrant, addressed the summit by video. He said the bloc was on course to meet the aspirations of most of the world’s population.

“We cooperate on the principles of equality, partnership support, respect for each other’s interests, and this is the essence of the future-oriented strategic course of our association, a course that meets the aspirations of the main part of the world community, the so-called global majority,” he said.

Despite Putin’s rejection of the dollar, Brazilian President Lula da Silva said a common BRICS trading currency would be aimed solely at easing trade between emerging nations. “We do not want to be a counterpoint to the G7, G20 or the US,” Lula said. “We just want to organize ourselves.”

Lula also said he was in favor of other countries joining the alliance, mentioning Indonesia as a potential new member. The three-day summit will hear calls for more economic cooperation and collaboration in areas such as health, education and climate change — but with a growing sentiment that the developing world is not being served by Western-led institutions. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa held separate talks with Xi in Pretoria, and said he was seeking “Chinese support for South Africa and Africa’s call for the reform of global governance institutions, notably the UN Security Council.”

De-dollarization is irreversible – Putin

The US dollar is losing its global role in an “objective and irreversible” process, the Russian president told participants at the BRICS Summit in South Africa on Tuesday. Vladimir Putin spoke via videolink, after choosing not to attend the event in person.

De-dollarization is “gaining momentum” Putin declared, adding that members of the group of major emerging economies are seeking to reduce their reliance on the greenback in mutual transactions.

The Russian leader claimed the five BRICS members – Russia, China, India, Brazil and South Africa – are becoming the new world economic leaders, adding that their cumulative share of global GDP has reached 26%.

He noted that if measured by purchasing power parity, BRICS has already surpassed the Group of Seven leading industrialised nations – accounting for 31% of the global economy, compared to 30% for the G7.

Over the past 10 years, mutual investment between the BRICS member states has increased by six times. Their total investments in the world economy have doubled, while cumulative exports account for 20% of the global total, Putin said.

Moscow is focusing on re-orienting its transport and logistics routes towards “reliable foreign partners,” including BRICS members, to ensure an uninterrupted supply of energy and food to the international market.

Russia’s primary goals include developing the Northern Sea Route and the ‘North-South’ transport corridor, Putin stated. The first, passing through the Arctic Ocean, along Russia’s northern coastline, will ensure faster goods deliveries between Europe and the Far East. The second will connect Russia’s northern and Baltic ports to the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean, facilitating cargo movement between Eurasian and African nations.

“We are consistently increasing fuel, food and fertilizer supplies to the states of the Global South,” and actively contributing to global food and energy security, the Russian leader said. He blamed the current international food crisis on the West’s unilateral sanctions, describing them as “unlawful.”

“Illegitimate sanctions… seriously weigh on the international economic situation,” and the “unlawful freezing of sovereign states’ assets” constitutes a violation of free trade and economic cooperation rules.

The resource deficit and growing inequality worldwide are a “direct result” of such policies, the Russian president argued. He highlighted skyrocketing grain and food prices as the latest manifestation of this process, primarily affecting the most vulnerable nations.

Moscow is represented at the Johannesburg summit, which runs from August 22 to 24, by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Putin opted not to attend the event after a decision by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue a warrant for his arrest in March. The court based the order on Ukraine’s allegation that the Russian evacuation of children from the conflict zone amid hostilities between the two nations amounted to “unlawful population transfers.”

South Africa is a signatory of the Rome Statute of the ICC, and the US and its allies had pressured it to detain Putin should he travel to the country. Moscow has repeatedly denied the ICC’s allegations and stressed that it does not recognize the court’s authority, declaring the warrant legally null and void.

Although South African President Cyril Ramaphosa repeatedly stated that he would not carry out the order, claiming it would amount to a “declaration of war,” Moscow ultimately decided to send Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to the BRICS summit to represent Russia.
