fighters. it's important to have some insight about why this war resumed, right mouth to dry was understood. deep siege, receiving no fuel, no electricity, no communication, no banking. the guy forces are been weakest point right now. the fighting has made an already dire humanitarian crisis. worse. millions of people have been displaced with more than 3000 reportedly fleeing from the region every day. the u. n and other agencies have been able to deliver some made in the past few months. earlier this week, the head of the world food program accused tp ellen fighters of stealing food and more than 500000 leaders of fuel, humanitarian aid men for civilians never reach its target. all the parties need to do whatever they can to protect, to protect civilians, and also very poorly,

i think, to ensure the unimpeded passage of humanitarian goods. the latest round of violence is raising concerns. they could put even more people at risk in te grey. and the surrounding and horror and afar regions cards. the little piece of the young al jazeera pakistan is declared an emergency after months of record monsoon rains. parts of the country have been devastated, causing the government is described as the humanitarian disaster of epic proportions. villages is submerged in south west and pollution on an eastern punjab provinces. focused on climate change. minister says bluestone has received nearly 500 percent more than the usual average rain for the month of august. and recent days, the southern send promise has also been hit by flood waters been battered by staggering 784 percent more rain than it usually gets at this time of year. more than 30000000 people are affected by this. and there's also been

a lot of flooding. this has been happening over a number of weeks and months actually more than 900 people have been killed since june, including at least 34 in the last day. these images show the flooded streets of the city of hydro bods in the southern province of thinned one of the worst hit areas. i'm a disaster agency saying nearly 220000 homes have been destroyed half a 1000000 more badly damaged destruction of roads and bridges as well as a breakdown in communication lines is further hampered, rescue and relief efforts focused on his colon, the international community for urgent help in that would know how to come to us. my 4 houses have been destroyed. it was then i have to wade through this water to get to the market to buy groceries. ive wounded my feet, walking through it out of i said we tried to flush water out of our home through a motor or using 10 boxes. the water is everywhere. as you can see, no one is coming to help us well out. there is a bus rob is reporting on this story and he's been out and some of those affected

areas. and he sent us this report from san juan city incent, 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 a 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 community living here in san then in religious non profits in the south park. ah. the us justice department is released to heavily redacted version of the document that justified the f. b i. search of donald trump's home officials entered the former president, florida state. on the 8th of august. it's part of the proven to whether he'd

intercepted by the lebanese army, the boat eventually sunk. now there are conflicting versions on what exactly happens. passengers say the army rammed their vessel on the boat and the boat sunk . but the army says it was overloaded and crammed with people. small submarine paid for by donations because celebrities 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 ship rec, 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 will this bring 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 the rec and the notes of how to salvage the, the rag areas and the still pulling it out will be almost, well, we'll certainly break the wreck and will most definitely disturb those who are arrested by francis will officially named 20 new cardinals on saturday, the vatican an important move for the future of the catholic church. the consistory is the conferences called as a display of church politics. as the pope shows his priorities for
