a mountainous area. so you got all that rain falling high above it just rushes right down to the ground and the ground just cannot hang onto it. so that's when we see those scenes of flash flooding. now let's try out where this energy is going on sunday, because i think we could see more images of flooding emerge across the middle east, a potentially q way. look at this, the darker the yellow, the more intensive rain is also through eastern saudi as well. and southern sections of iran, but that threat for iran not just sunday in some monday as well as this energy moves more toward the north and also toward the east. now want to peel out, give you a wider look, because this is really something that we're going to be dealing with for the next few days, or this it transitions into southern sections of pakistan. the risk of also seeing some flooding here as well. so we look at the next 3 days in karachi, and it really rainy forecast here. so about $10.00 to $20.00 millimeters of rain each day. but we need to remember these areas simply cannot deal with this much rain that fast. so emily, really over the next little bit soft flooding,

a very likely scenario in many countries as the storm system continues to hang over the area. all right, jeff gave us updated as to how things go. thank you very much. you're welcome. ukraine's president has used his new york message to say his main goal for 2022 is ending the war in the east of the country. large parts of the region were taken over by russian back separatists almost 8 years ago. now taishan over a russian troop movements in the border have led to mutual threats by the us and moscow. as nadine baba reports were not scared of any army on the other side of the border, that's the message from ukraine's president in his new year message one clearly aimed at russia. and there was more defiance in my son, my bookish, never again, silly. unfortunately, we have not ended the war in the east of our country yet. this is our primary goal . that's why i say not yet, because next year we'll definitely be better. according to ukranian officials,

our presence in europe with our nato allies. and it will be a heavy price to pay for it. but our president immediately responded that if the west decides in this or other circumstances to impose the unprecedented sanctions mentioned that could lead to a complete breakdown in ties between our countries and caused the most severe damage to relations between russia on the west. rushes worried by what it says is the west's rearming of ukraine, and it will be taking part in a series of meeting starting in 10 days time. it wants legally binding guarantees that any future expansion of the nato alliance will exclude ukraine and other former soviet lock countries. it's not clear at this stage already, compromise will come from the d baba al jazeera, still held down now to sierra recovering at mexico's last treasures, ancient artifacts are heading home centuries after i was stolen. and it's a wrapped in plastic packaging in france and you know,

a very same groups that most reports believe that they talk the house of the finest or what the government can do now is just wait for the government to before because they know it's a current government. although a lot of sources claim that this i just movement might push for a problem this, they're called me for another term, but they are dealing with the messages here. they know it's not really something, but they're actually trying to do, or we're actually attacking therefore, in forces or the us forces of the always claims to do. the main message here is that they still enjoy a powerful fan base across the country. it's messages to the suggest moving that they want to be a part of the, a consensus government to start from majority government. and the electoral defeat is a great reflection off of their extremely decreasing opportunity across the country . they can get hundreds of thousands of people protesting, but they will never be able to whitewash or what should wait. the memories of the
