8:02 pm
government for the strike. several buildings were damaged and there are reports of death. when it comes a day off the u. n's world food program said it's operations in mckelly had suffered a major setback in a tweet. executive director, david beasley said to grand authorities stole 570000 liters of fuel for w. f. p. operations into gray. millions will starve if we do not have fuel to deliver food. this is outrageous and disgraceful. we demand return of this fuel. now. united nation says the fighting needs to stop. we've seen these reports of air strikes in mikaela, which have caused or damaged her infrastructure. and civilians, more importantly i it's a very concerning development. we are not in a, in a position to confirm it. we do have staff and mckelly from the information we have
8:03 pm
. they're all safe and sound. but the communications is very complicated. and also the ability of staff to move around. i think this is this is a good opportunity to reaffirm the secretary general's call forces sation of hostilities . but earlier we spoke to trying to get a true on the phone. he's an independent journalist in the capital. i just have about the latest is mccully and s o s, which is an orphanage home for those that have lost, their parents was hit earlier this this morning around lunchtime. and this goes to show you that this conflict is really, really going moving forward. but also the children government to saying that they were provoked in to get this into this conflict. and the t p f is thing otherwise. but there doesn't seem to be any kind of piece putting went, which was envisioned by different doctors,
8:04 pm
including the u. s. u in the africa anemia. and they've been, there has been disagreements in terms of where the piece engagement was going to be . but between the t p. s and the to open government there seems to be huge differences in terms of even engaging who should be engaged in this kind of conflicts. but again, the un has been coining what's been happening, miller so free to even continue to be displaced and there's a famine of the all the field test continue. again, all the fighting in it to go. i began in november 2020 prime minister men ordered a military offensive against the people's liberation front response to attacks on the federal army basis. the group says it was unfairly targeted since then the u. n . has condemned to both sides after they were accused of committing war crimes. today,
8:05 pm
it's more than 2600000 people have been displaced because of the violence. baton i have to thinker is an assistant professor in history at james madison university in virginia. he explains why he thinks government forces mark of the father to launch an attack. now, the most important thing is about the timing now because it was a ceasefire over the last 7 months. is it's important to have some insight about why this was presumed right now and not over the last few months. this, as everyone might have known, that since the federal government forces were defeated and were forced to leave the territory of to guy to guy was under 50 c h, receiving no fuel, no electricity, no communication, no bank. this, our government must have thought by now up to guy forces at the weakest point right now. so the organization and the relaunch of war is important. but what we
8:06 pm
shouldn't need is the war. and if you are right now, it's not just in at to grind it. your gas has lots of war fronts, particularly in romeo wars, has never or has never sold since 202019, when the federal government opened fire only or a moderation 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 a site during the time of pretending for negotiation with the gray. it was containing that swore throw out on me in western part 1000 part and center part.
8:07 pm
now the f. b, i has just released a heavily redacted version of an affidavit that prompted his agents to search. donald trump's home. officials entered the former president south florida state on august the 8th. the affidavit was used to gain approval for the search when it's crossed now to an fisher in washington dc, said allen, what more can you tell us? well he that is the 30 pages of the affidavit. something that people were so interested in that actually crashed the dio jay's court case computer and meant that the 12 o'clock release didn't happen. it came slightly after that, she flicked through the cages. you can see that the case that was lined out to the judge has now been fairly heavily redacted. that's what all those like. lines on the pages are fired. so you can see that they are pretty well for taking out a lot of the detail. and they did this to protect both human sources and also to
8:08 pm
redact names of agents who had been involved because they were wanting to know about their safety. so in the last 50 minutes it's all been about unpacking what it actually is in the affidavit. no, there's a lot of legalese and there, but let me trial boil down to just a few points. first of all the f. b, i believe that there was sensitive documents being held at merrill ago, which was not a place which was authorized to hold these documents. now you remember that the f b, i and the national archive also managed to get 15 boxes of documents from donald trump . earlier this year that the national archive told the f b i that during the investigation of those 15 boxes, the found really sensitive information. in fact, 700 pages of sensitive information and they believed there were still. busy more at merrill lag, or even though those closest to the president and many of his former administration officials were saying that the reports that sensitive information had been found on
8:09 pm
those documents was absolutely false. the f b, i says that simply not the case. no, the, what the biggest danger is, is that some of this information could easily have been obtained and that would put the people who are involved in protecting the united states at great risk. and so the f b, i said that they really had to go and find out if there were more documents there and they believe from human sources that indeed there were. and also what is key is that when presenting an affidavit like this, you've also got to give any evidence which could help the defense. and of course, the defense has been saying, well, the president can declassify any bit of information that he wants. but it's like making sure that anything he decides is written down somewhere so that some one does it. there was no official record of any of these documents being declassified . and so now at the f, b i and others are looking at the possibility that there was sensitive information
8:10 pm
where it shouldn't have been. and there was obstruction in getting a hold of that information. because of course, donald trump and others were saying in the 1st batch that was taken from maro lago, there was no classified documents. when it turns out, according to the f, b i in an affidavit to a judge to get a search warrant. they said they're very much wars, so that's what were managed to unpack in the last 40 minutes or so since the affidavit became public. and fisher live in washington dc for us there. thank you. months of rec, hold monsoon rains in pakistan have devastated large parts of the country. the government says its causing a humanitarian disaster of epic proportions or more than 900 people had been killed since june. most of them in a purchase town and eastern punjab provinces were entire villages are submerged. but one estimate says it has been 5 times more rain in the seasonal average
8:11 pm
waterborne diseases such as cholera or spreading and health care resources are stretched thin, where millions of families have lost their homes, crops, and livestock. government is providing assistance with food and basic services, but it's been overwhelmed by the scale of the devastation in that good no has come to us. my 4 houses had been destroyed, it will not be love. and then i have to wade through this water to get to the market to buy groceries like i've wounded my feet walking through it. i've never tried to flush water out of our home through a motor or using 10 boxes at the water is everywhere. as you can see, no one is coming to help us was name was robbie has been out in some of those affected areas and reports. now foremost, one city in since 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,
8:12 pm
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 mud 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. seen this still the worst effect that 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
8:13 pm
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. well, are still a heads on al jazeera. ah, the sound of patriotism, how russians invasion is spot ukrainian further in the russians became city odessa? ah, no surprises here. no real change in the weather across the middle east. hi there,
