Tanzania Floods: At least 155 killed in Tanzania as heavy rains pound East Africa | Oneindia
Intense rainfall over several weeks in Tanzania has triggered devastating flooding and landslides, claiming the lives of 155 individuals and leaving 236 others injured, according to the country's Prime Minister, Kassim Majaliwa.
Addressing Parliament, Majaliwa attributed the severity of the ongoing rainy season to the exacerbation of the El Niño climate phenomenon.
The relentless downpours have not only caused widespread flooding but also inflicted extensive damage to infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and railways, exacerbating the challenges faced by affected communities across East Africa.
Rescue officials in Taiwan are searching for a cargo ship with nine crew members that has sunk off its southern coast.,The Tanzania-flagged freighter had been off the southern port city of Kaohsiung when Taiwan was struck by Typhoon Gaemi.,The storm has also brought relentless rain to the Philippines, where a tanker carrying close to 1.5 million litres of industrial fuel has capsized.,Sixteen crew members of the Philippine-flagged MT Terra Nova have been rescued while one remains missing, Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista said.

The unrest has led to tragic outcomes, with at least five protestors being shot dead and over 150 injured in Nairobi. Police reportedly used tear gas and live rounds to disperse thousands who stormed Kenya's Parliament, setting part of it on fire. Kenyan President William Ruto condemned the protests, labelling them “treasonous” but did not address the widespread outrage against the finance bill that triggered the demonstrations. The nationwide protests, which called for a “total shutdown” of the country, turned violent as police clashed with demonstrators. India has issued an advisory for its citizens in Kenya to exercise extreme caution and limit non-essential movements amid escalating violent protests in the East African nation. The protests are in response to the Kenyan government's proposed tax hikes.

Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan voiced strong objections following a tense exchange with Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar. Bachchan criticised the tone used by the Chair, asserting that MPs should not be treated like "school children," especially senior members of Parliament. She expressed particular frustration over the Chairman's decision to cut off the microphone when the Leader of the Opposition attempted to speak, calling it an undemocratic act. Bachchan further condemned the use of what she described as "unparliamentary language," recounting how Dhankhar dismissed her stature as a celebrity, stating, "You may be a celebrity, I do not care." In response, Bachchan emphasised her long-standing experience as a parliamentarian, noting that she was now serving her fifth term. Deeply offended by the conduct in the House, she demanded an apology, arguing that the current discourse in Parliament had reached an unprecedented low.

Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi says, "It is our right to meet anyone. But they are not allowing it. I had spoken about farmers. Speaker told the House that they are not being stopped. Now they have been stopped again. There is a Sri Lanka issue of farmers. There were also people from Child Welfare...I keep doing this (meeting delegations)...My life becomes a bit more difficult as it is easier to meet them there (LoP Chamber in Parliament). Otherwise, now I have to keep coming here."

Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar clashed with Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Derek O'Brien over wrestler Vinesh Phogat’s Paris Olympics disqualification. O'Brien's shouting prompted Dhankhar to reprimand him harshly, accusing the Opposition of politicizing Phogat’s plight and disrespecting her. Dhankhar warned O'Brien about the gravity of challenging Parliament's decorum and likened the situation to past emergency phases. Following the altercation, the Opposition walked out of the session.
