nearly a 1000 people die in pakistan and millions more are displaced because of record monsoon rains. it is beyond the capacity of any one administration or government do. i'd be happy to dig and, and even managed to rescue and believe ah, clark, vistas out 0 live from doha. also coming up of whopping rise in energy prices in the u. k. as people struggle with the cost of living crisis will be live in london . and back on line, the russian held nuclear power plant in ukraine, fully operational after safety systems kicked him because of fires nearby. and because of the future, one step closer, california says, all new vehicles in the us state must be electrical hybrids. by 2035. ah.

so months of heavy monsoon rains in pakistan have devastated much of the country. government says it's causing a humanitarian disaster of epic proportions. a more than 900 people have been killed since june. flooding has affected 3 of its 4 provinces. that's more than 3 quarters of the total land mass of the nation. villages as submerged and southwestern baluchistan and easton chron job provinces. and in recent days, the southern sin province has been hit by flood waters. his name was robbie's report. rainfall over the south of the country has been so severe. survivors describe what is happening in pakistan. as the end of days, one government estimate says this monsoon season, there's been 500 percent more rain than the seasonal average suffering greatest in the southern send the province, the lucky ones who live through the storm. now wait out in the open on small tracts

of land spared by the floods for now waiting for help or more rain. no worries turned to disease, thirst, hunger cry. now can you but what are we going to eat? we are completely lost. i am very worried about our children. they have nothing to eat and nothing to where i'm telling you what that bonnie meant that we lost everything in the floods. there is water all around us and we are empty handed to david. we don't have tense, no shelter, no food, and no one is here to help them. at 1st sight, it looks like a seaside waves crashing on a beach, but these are flooded fields and farms deep inland. last harvest destroyed crops, a food crisis is now inevitable. efforts to hold back the flood waters seemed no match for the extreme weather. countless community submerged some completely washed

away. the rescue efforts are underway, but there is just too much need of living for one of them on the desk of the word. we are at this point, ground 0, the frontline scheme, whether event focused on leaders or calling for help from the international community to deal with the floods. it's been one of the worst if not the worst monsoon season to hit pockets on in recent memory. here in the provincial capital of karachi, it is perhaps easier the count, the number of roads that have not experienced some kind of rain and flood damage. adding to the already miserable situation or swelling rivers in the north of the country. more water is expected to reach already flooded areas. in the next few days, the in basra, of the old 0 karachi. now the millions of households in the u. k. a bracy from 80

percent rise in the energy bills from october, on average. that'll mean an increase from around $2300.00 a year to $4100.00. the surgeon of food fuel energy cost is being blamed on the war in ukraine and the pandemic speak to rory chinese johns live now from london. and so, rory, this is a colossal increase and what's going on? what absolutely is. yeah, this is going to be terrifying. i think so many people around the country there have been, oh, amber warning, lights flashing on the dashboard of the british economy for some time. now i think this really pushes all of those and rewarding lights to screaming red. this is, this is tough stuff for anyone who has to pay a fuel built in the u. k to digest. and i think unless the u. k. government comes up with a significance rescue package or aid package to help out families all around this

country. there isn't just going to be discomfort going into this winter. there's actually going to be proper destitution. fuel builds are already at their highest in nearly half a century and they're expected to carry on going up. so that early next year we could be looking at fuel bills that are well over $6000.00 for a normal household. his a so ring statistic in 2019 fewer than one in 5 households was classed as being in fuel poverty by early next year it's expected that 3 in 5 households. that's 2 thirds of the household and the u. k. a majority of the population are going to be in fuel poverty. now what does that mean? well, that means that they pay more than the average, the national average for the field and what they're left with after they pay. that means that they are below the national poverty line. so this is, i think,

a heading into what is obviously a national emergency indeed. so next question was a government doing about it? britain's waiting, awaiting a new p. m. yeah. what governments i think is, is, is the assets that the, the u. k. government at the moment is in this kind of hiatus, are between the exits are of forest johnson. he's swung around somewhere and the, the, the, that the new prime minister, whoever that may be coming, they basically means this, that the current government can't take any big decisions because it's got to be up to the new prime minister. so actually put them into practice. they are currently ruling out doing what the opposition party labor calling for, which is a freeze on the energy cap and a wind fall tax to basically pay for a rescue package. the current government to saying they're not gonna do that. and i don't think either of the candidates list russell richey soon act or are going to do that either, but is unclear at the moment. what they will do is clear. they have to do something

that's going to be their biggest. ah, they're the biggest thing that they have in their, in tray when they take position up. let's try to saying that sir. she is against her hand out. so she is going to be in favor of tax cuts, but it's unclear whether that can go any way to address the situation where she soon is saying that all options are the moments are on the table or are only there for mon, thanks very much. re challenge there in london. europe is biggest nuclear power plant is back online. ukraine's nuclear agency says it was cut off from the power grid off to fires damaged overhead electricity lines. russia took control of this up regia plant back in march, but it is run by ukrainian stuff. and there are growing fears about fighting near the facility. both sides have accused each other showing the plot. the u. n. has called the removal of all military forces immediately and is urging the international atomic energy agency to be allowed in for as a boat has more now from keith. anything related to then support each nuclear power

in ukraine about what could happen if something goes wrong. there's the history of to know will. for example, also not rushing right now, controlling the plan that we present around 20 percent of this country's electricity. we know that because of the conflict right now is what each alerts sectors of ukraine right now have no electricity. and that's a problem in feet is for example, like supported on other because they're fighting ongoing their and the hospitals, for example, need that electricity is almost suddenly the war in ukraine is still going, especially in the southern and eastern part of the country where the fighting is raging. stella had parallel to 0 after years of talks global pushed to protect our ocean's reaches secretion, turning point and we are on patrol with special forces in ecuador, as a bachelor, gates degree international rugs. ah,

require all new cars to be sold to be alternative fuel cars. and here's why it's significant. besides being a game changer in terms of our climate and our energy leadership, it's a game changer. and another respect that the car manufacturers themselves are celebrating and embrace in it, including toyota to day. not just ford and gm. california is often a leader in the us and more than a dozen states usually follow its auto emissions standards that may help create uniformity. within the complex electric car market. automakers will have to gradually phase in alternative fuel vehicles in their new fleets. beginning with 35 percent of all new cars in 2026, but it won't necessarily be easy. electric cars are expensive and the network of charging stations will need to be vastly expanded. i think the 3 largest challenges

for adoption are, 1st of all, affordability availability, as well as infrastructure. from the affordability standpoint, e v 's are typically more expensive and we definitely don't want to put low income buyers out of the market. electric vehicles will be required to get 240 kilometers on a single charge. some californians concerned about global warming, or right behind the decision. i agree. it's anything is gonna produce things like buyers and natural disasters. i think why not? the new rule was made by the states air resources board and is expected to get the required federal approval. a spokesman for a group representing the u. s. auto industry says it would be, quote, extremely challenging for the industry to adapt in order to meet these deadlines. rob reynolds al jazeera los angeles.
