తమ రాజీనామాలతో కర్టాటక సంకీర్ణ కూటమి ప్రభుత్వం కూలడానికి కారణమైన అంసతృప్త ఎమ్మెల్యేలు తాజాగా సుప్రీం కోర్టును ఆశ్రయించారు. అప్పటి స్పీకర్ కేఆర్ రమేశ్ కుమార్ వారిపై వేసిన అనర్హత వేటును సవాల్ చేస్తూ పిటిషన్ దాఖలు చేశారు. రాజీనామాలను తిరస్కరించి తమపై అనర్హత వేటు వేయడంపై అభ్యంతరం వ్యక్తం చేశారు.

ఇప్పటికే అనర్హత వేటు పడిన ఇద్దరు కాంగ్రెస్, ఒక స్వతంత్ర ఎమ్మెల్యే సుప్రీంకోర్టును ఆశ్రయించగా ఈ 14 మందితో కలిపి ఆ సంఖ్య 17కి చేరింది. వీటిపై త్వరలోనే సుప్రీంకోర్టు విచారణ చేపట్టే అవకాశం ఉంది.

It's that that's stopping us work. If not we'll get to a stage were everything is destroyed. Even if it isn't complete destruction - it will be most of it. "

LEAD IN:
Farmers in Guinea say that drought due to deforestation is threatening their livelihoods.
Tropical rainforests contain most of the planet's land-borne biodiversity and help regulate rainfall and temperature globally and regionally.
They also provide food, water and income to 1.6 billion people.
STORYLINE:
Faranah region, in Upper Guinea.
It's mid June and Qulare Mohamed and his team are clearing land to grow rice, but they haven't seen rain since the start of the rainy season and they fear the lack of rainfall in early summer will leave them without a harvest.
Typically rain falls in this part of Guinea between June and September, but storms are common at any time.
"Climate change has caused a shortage of rain and as we are not getting any rainfall and is very difficult for us to farm, we cannot plant our rice seeds because of the lack of rainfall. We cannot do better farming this year, by June we should have finished farming but now, the month is almost over and we haven't started farming," says Mohamed.
Fellow farmer, Ibrahim Toure says the land is so dry it is near impossible to farm.
"We are suffering today because it doesn't rain here any more. It doesn't rain anymore. When you talk about the Guinee Forestiere region, over there, yes, it rains there. It rains there. But here in Upper Guinea, there's no rain. And the sun is hot, and the land is hard. We can't dig it. Our hands suffer."
Other parts of Guinea enjoy a much longer rainy season running from April to November.
Toure says that logging of the forest in higher altitudes is to blame for the lack of rain.
"What's causing this is the logging in the woods, because people can't cut down trees that are high up. It's affecting the rainfall. And the logging activities are part of the reason for the lack of rainfall. You see, with the way the environment is being polluted, it just can't go on. We need to stop cutting down the trees. It's that that's stopping us work. If not we'll get to a stage were everything is destroyed. Even if it isn't complete destruction - it will be most of it. "
Without enough trees to sustain the rainfall, the longer and more pronounced dry season could change the landscape.
Climate experts have linked deforestation to drought severity.
Aside from the oceans, tropical forests are the most important regions on the planet for putting water vapour in the air, which eventually becomes rainfall.
Experts say deforestation also impoverishes the soil, reduces rainfall and aggravates flooding when the rains do come.
Mamadou Lamine Bah, Guinea's National Director of Meteorology agrees with the farmers' assessment.
''The regional plan. What have we noted? That for years and years we have been behaving in an uncontrollable way towards our vegetation. We destroy the forests, we diminish vegetation with bush fires and we destroy the vegetation. And that has a very negative impact on the rainfall."
He says that tree planting should be undertaken to help mitigate the impact.
''We need to plant trees. It is these trees that will help restore the landscape, they will help not only to capture the gasses that the community emits into the atmosphere, but they will also help to cover the land."
Wood seller Mabinti Soumah says she will reduce the amount of tress that she takes from the forests.
''I have been cutting most of the woods here but I promise I will plant trees so that we get rain for us to do our farming.  We know that cutting of the trees is responsible for the lack of rain fall."
A report published by the Guinean government in July 2018 says that the country is at risk due to climate change and must mitigate the risks, noting that only 60% of its forests are protected.
The Ministry of the Environment estimates that Guinea loses around 35,000 hectares of forest each year.  At the end of July the Government announced a tree planting programme to help combat drought.  The first trees will be planted in Middle Guinea at the start of August.
