a conflict that began more than 2 years ago. local media are blaming the central government for the strike. several buildings were damaged on there are reports of deaths when it comes a day off the u. n's, world food prem, said its operations. he has suffered a major setback in a tweet executive director, david beesley said to grand authorities stole 570000 liters of fuel for wi fi operations. integrate, millions will starve if we do not have a fuel to deliver food. this is outrageous and disgraceful demands return of this fuel now. well, some will get to true is an independent journalist and joins us from the ethiopian capital, at least of, of us. so samuel, but even before the latest offensive, the un was warning about the widespread need for food aid into gray, where half the population is facing famine. so what's the latest on this?

well, according to the u. n. r w p the world food program to be exact, more than half of the population of tag ry are in need of an emergency aid. but that's also in m ha and, and a far, far from the to gray region. the stride today happened just after lunch time, just before 1 pm. there was a strike. the european government is insisting that they're focused on that t p a left. they're trying to target the t p a left soldiers, or at least for the equipment that, that are used. they say a 2 in violation of the piece that the top end government is looking for. so that's the target for today. at least 4 people have been killed. we've seen high numbers, but we can confirm at least 4 people, including 2 children have been killed by the latest strike that happened this sir this afternoon. but i have to also tell you that the children government is

insisting that they were provoked into getting into this latest conflict and the to gray region. while the t p a left is saying that they're being targeted by the european government. but this happened, this conflict begun just less than 2 years ago. it seems to be affecting millions of with your parents. as you mentioned, the u. n. a saying at least 5 or least millions of with your parents have been displaced. researchers are saying a least 500000 people have died as a result of it. and this conflict moves forward to its 2nd and we're say, come november and millions of ethiopians affected as a result of it. independent journalist, samuel gadgetry, thank you for that. think well the fighting in t grey began in november 2020 for our minister. i'll be made to ordered a military offensive against the great people's liberation front response to attacks on federal army basis. the group says it was unfairly targeted since then

the u. n. has condemned both sides off they were accused of committing war crimes. to date, more than 2600000 people have been displaced because of the violence attorney had paid incur is an assistant professor in his tree at james madison university and joined us to form harrisonburg in virginia. welcome to the program. what do you make of this strike in mechanics. thank his aid astray. that happened earlier today. he's part of the war that received me from the push from the federal government in, at this hour. but the war really, really started 2 days ago. but unfortunately, the one battlement today, i hate the school children or the bays where they are a spend a day, a in mechanic. but the most important thing is about the timing now,

because it was a ceasefire over the last 7 mans is it's important to have some insight about why this war resumed right now and not over the last few months. this, as everyone might have known. since the federal government forces were defeated and the were forced to leave, the territory of to gray to gray was under a 50 siege, receiving no fuel, no electricity, no communication, no banking. the idea about government must have thought by now is up to great forces at the weakest point right now. so the organization and the relaunch of war is important. but what we shouldn't miss is the war editorial right now is not just in at to grind. it yoga has lots of war fronts, particularly in romeo wars, has never or has never sought since 202019,

when the federal government opened fire on automotive ration army. so in that sense, the war resumption of war is not really accurate because the federal government calculates about its ability and the timing when it opens fire on one site. it seems to show some protection of negotiation was as their site during the time of pretending for negotiation was still grey. it was containing but swore so out around me in less than $5000.00 parts and center park. ok, let me just thought, let me just ask you, forgive me for interrupting give, interrupting. but given what you say, what does this mean for what is already a desperate humanitarian situation? it's an absolutely very bad for people to dry,

who were already receiving and no medical facilities, no banking and no internet. so, as that exemption of war and to great would mean, and lots of price at force of the and the continuation of war in romeo would mean, much more price again, for the people leaving in many parts of our own me. so why as a 2 sites fight, the civilians would be paying a heavy cost, which is quite unfortunate. okay, a ton of hampton, i think a thank you very much for joining us. thank you. now months of record monsoon rains in pakistan have devastated large parts of the country. the government says it's causing a humanitarian disaster of epic proportions or more than 900 people have been killed since june. most of them in the largest on and eastern pungent provinces were entire villages are submerged while one estimate says, there has been 5 times more rain than the seasonal average waterborne diseases such

as cholera spreading and health care resources are stretched thin. millions of families have lost their homes, crops, and livestock. the government is providing assistance with food and basic services, but it's been overwhelmed by the scale of the devastation in that could not help has come to us. my 4 houses had been destroyed if wind, well, and then i have to wade through this water to get to the market to buy groceries. i've wounded my feet walking through it. not only i have tried to flush water out of our hug through a motor or using 10 boxes. the water is everywhere. as you can see, no one is coming to help us or same bus or avi has been out in some of those affected areas. and reports now from it. so one city in sind province, driving into interior stand villages, communities all across this province remain almost completely water logged as we were driving up, people had blocked the roads with rocks. these were just regular folks,

poverty stricken really struggling, just asking for any sort of help asking for any sort of money. this is a very, very, a struggling part of the country. and as you can see, people live here in very basic conditions. most of these houses are all muddy and brick dwellings for basic foundation. and so when the water comes rushing through and when these areas become so water log, you don't even need very strong currents for the water to slowly eat away at the foundations of these buildings. that are eventually knocked over just dissolving in a way into the water that is still here and, and more is coming. this struggle here is very, very acute in this still the worst effected place in terms of the humanitarian need in terms of damage to infrastructure. people need shelter, the government has asked for 1000000 tense, and that's just the initial ask to house people in the interim period before a permanent solution to this crisis can be found which may not be forthcoming before things get worse. we've seen images from the north of the country and swap. the valley of more strong currents coming down from rains and glacial melts. more

strong currents washing away buildings tearing through hillsides, tearing through villages up there. and all that water is headed down to the south of the country, and it's headed this way so there may be more struggle ahead for communities living here in san then in religious non profits in the south park. and the neighboring afghanistan floods are impacting several provinces the northeastern time ship. providence is elated to be hit by heavy rain federal houses and crops have been destroyed on thursday. the about announced that 182 people had died across the country. millions of households and the u. k are bracing for an 80 percent rise and their energy bills for october on average. that will mean an increase for around $2300.00. year $4100.00 search and food fuel and energy costs is being blamed on the war and ukraine and the pandemic. so diego explains

the comforts of a cup of tea. that's about to get more expensive. came eldridge lives with her mother and publicly subsidized housing. it has dump on insulated walls at the heat during cold weather, and they fear that energy price hike will make heating their home this winter impossible. the whole flat is riddled with mold, and we've not even hit windsor yet, and people can't afford to pay that bill. i don't know how anyone is going to survive this winter without shivering in their homes. bills have already doubled. they're looking to double again. it just doesn't make any sense. the jump in wholesale and consumer fuel prices comes at a time when some energy companies have reported record profit. while some companies have pledged grants to help consumers the raising of the price, scott is still expected to have a devastating effect on millions of households. the energy price cap set by the government regulator, every 3 month limits what

a household pays for each unit of energy. this still means a household bill can still go up. if more gas or electricity is use. the cap takes into account the cost of maintaining and operating energy networks and build in a profit margin. the energy supply is, but it's mainly dependent on whole so energy prices, which are at unprecedented highs. well, households will get a discounts many say it will not be enough to help the most vulnerable solution needs to be that we need emergency financial support, especially for those most in need. over and above the amount that's already been pledged by the government. and we need that to help stop more people falling into fuel poverty. and ideally towards this to help people out people who are already in feel policy. the challenge for many will be choosing whether to eat or heat their homes, a cost of living crisis that is hitting britain's poorest families hardest. and that is set to work in the weeks

a months to come with further big increases in gas prices guaranteed. so the guy, yeah, go, i'll just sarah. so the head on al jazeera, a new beginning, afghans who escaped off the tunnel on takeover, rebuild their lives in a foreign land. and after years of talks, a global push to protect our oceans beaches a crucial turning point. ah, the journey has begun. the. the full world cup is on its way to a catholic group. your travel package to day while we've had record rainfall for parts of pakistan syn province. so far this monsoon season look at this rainfall amounts closing in on 2 meters over the last few months. and of course, there is still another month to go out of this. what weather has leaked into afghanistan, this is about 80 kilometers away from cobble. and we know the debts hold now right

. but the army says it was overloaded and crammed with people. small submarine paid for by donation, because the lebanese authorities do not have the equipment to be able to find the ship wreck, nor did they have the money to rent a tiny submarine. so donations the tiny submarine found those bodies. some of them nothing was less just clothing. others according to the pilots, were inside the shipwrecked. they're still identifiable and somehow intact. what is not clear is how they are going to bring this ship back up to sure. 450 meters. this is not going to be an easy, easy operation. so they say that they're going to study their options in the next 2 days. now was a spring closer to the family members who have been saying time and time again that their, their, their loved ones were trapped inside the vessel when it's sunk,

women and children among them. it's unlikely one of the things as we went around and took notes of how to salvage the, the rag dc varies and the filled pulling it out will be almost, well, we'll certainly break the record and will most definitely disturb those who are arrested after the taliban. took control of afghanistan last year, thousands fled and rebuilt their lives in countries all over the world. for some afghan families, south korea is now home. they are harding. it takes a look at what life's been like for using chopsticks was the 1st of many learning curves. now it's 2nd nature. sure, poor amid a z me and his family are some of the 400 afghans who relocated to south korea

illegal for young women to stay in class after primary school, and must be accompanied by a male guardian if they want to leave the house. as amy has several daughters and says, a major reason he left afghanistan was to keep them in school in free. my daughter can't go to outside along, influenced them. can go to school along everything. but here i, whenever thing about the, when the gall calon. but even in south korea, education has been a point of contention. some korean parents, how to protest against the entry of afghan children and local schools when they 1st arrived last year. but that has since calm down as the me says, for the 1st time he has a future, he can look forward to in a foreign land that is starting to feel like home for leo harding al jazeera after years of talks on international effort to improve protection of our oceans is a way to the outcome of un conference ending later on friday. unlike other accords

the u ends, global ocean treaty would be a legally binding documents or stephanie decker reports on what's at stake. oceans cover around 70 percent of our planet. and under the waves, a ballet of marine life, a magical gliding world that works in perfect symbiosis. but the reality is far from perfect. over fishing, deep sea mining and suffocating tons of plastic pollution. but a few of the reasons we are killing this underwater world. we certainly appreciate that we live on a blue planet. the ocean connects us all. sadly, we have taken the ocean for granted. and through thy we face was, i would gall a notion emergency. we must turn the tides, but that tide is proving hard to turn. the united nations has been trying for 10

years to pass a treaty to protect the high seas or international waters. a strong treaty would mean 30 percent of our oceans would be protected by 2030, signed to say this is the absolute minimum needed to protect the oceans. and talks are once again taking place in new york to find a deal. but activists are not hopeful. the negotiations all really hanging by a thread because we have not seen politicians come good on. that promise is to secure a strong global ation. tracy of the last few weeks in new york, we really seen at the countries that call themselves the high ambition coalition, really become the no ambition coalition at you know, countries and glazing, the us, and canada, scientists of war. and that it is now or never when it comes to changing our ways in order to prevent our planet from further heating and driving multiple species on land and at sea to extinction. imagine never again seeing scenes like these,

the du gong or see cow gathering off the coast of cat are in huge numbers. many end up dead as a result of getting caught up in fishing nets known as by catch. one of the main reasons why they are endangered tatters. water is also serve as a stopping point for migratory whale sharks. hosting one of the largest aggregations in the world. i swam with them for previous report of mine. gentle giants, or inspiring to watch them feed, feeling like a tiny, insignificant, yet privileged guest in their world. our oceans feed, us, sustain us, give us life. they host such a diversity of perfection and beauty. it shouldn't be hard to understand and to implement the urgent need to protect them. stephanie decker, al jazeera qatar, ah.
