the flooding from milk and glaciers and rainfall in the north of the country had gotten so bad that even though it is quite difficult to imagine what is happening in the north of the country could overtake what is happening here. the flood water cascading through the swamp valley in hybrid bucket. while providence is moving swiftly south, cutting down anything in its path down stream, flash flood, warnings, and evacuation orders are in effect, volunteers, pulling the dead from the water or warning people to stay away from the rivers. levels are rising faster than expected. it is time they say to get to higher ground zane basra, the ulta 0, the other district in pakistan, st province. i speak to peter above his head of delegation in pakistan for the i f r. c, which is the international federation of red cross and red crescent society. he joins us now live from islam about thank you for your time. as we had then zane's

package, people in the southern parts of pakistan struggling to get access to help our, your organization and your people able to get to those areas. yes. first of all, thank you so much for having me. and he has indeed the interest he ration red cross with present societies is working hand in hand with pakistan writ crescent. we have our volunteers in every district in the country. and we are also there the 1st one to, to respond to the disaster. the access is very difficult to, to places for assistance from outside of range have really destroyed infrastructure . and there are around a 100 plus bridges have been destroyed, more than 3000 kilometers of fro did up though no longer exists. so it is very difficult to assess of to reach to people straight away from outside. what is the prior to at the moment in terms of the aid that you're trying to get to these

people at the moment? well, there's always a very urgent, needful saved drinking water. so the back of star red crescent than the national federation. red cross council side to have deployed. i want to verification units for various area to flood me is the worse. and of course the health as well. so mobile held units have been deployed and our system people where possible. so presumably the, the concern then is water born diseases and, and, and so one that come as a result of this flooding. yes, there is always a risk indeed for what they want diseases. however, so far we have not received any report, neither from the field under, from the india made the authority shooting buckets and what a bond diseases. what we do as well, which is always with flying as well, is distributing mosquito nets. so because we do have a risk of course of malaria and then so we trying to office to people with the

distribution of mosquito nets, all the items that we have in our pre stocked warehouses in the different provinces . so axis is a little bit easier because we were prepared for any disaster. and so we have 3 projects in stock in our houses, which are deploying now. peter, this might seem like a naive question, but why have so many people have been killed nearly a 1000 people so far that we know off? yes, yeah. unfortunately many, many lives have been lost. i was, you said it's over. it's close at 1000 people have been killed but also large stock . we are talking about a 100 plus 1000 lifestyle has been killed in this, in this disaster. well, the main reasons our infrastructure is, is very poor. the houses in certain areas go also very full. and while of course, we all knew not just don't, since susan is missing, season story is death. we were not expecting the magnitude of the of the miss.

most soon. the monsoon season has been extended normally that would go up. ready to early august, now we do know that it would probably go up to mid september and the rain has just been much more upset and result of the climate change. so it is much, much more rain. be talking about 1015 folds of rain that has been come down in the, in the season. so therefore people are, you know, much of a position. flash flood has happened, the flux and happen the place and the heavy rainfall happen in places like in blue . just on which is normally a dry area in our area where we would see drought instead of flops. and we have had the flood. so people are not. the houses are not really prepared and strongly built . so that is also one of the reasons why we have so many lifes lawson this disaster . what we've heard from focused on overnight declaring a national emergency,

looking for international support. are you getting enough support from the international community? well, we are reaching out to the industrial community here in embark the start of the red crosser government movements. we work together other parker present, but we also have the german bit gross no vision read the book is read the residence and the international committee of the red cross all present in a bucket found we are working together to elevate the softening of the people that have been affected. we have also we also have also had released from the, from the emergency fund around $500000.00 us dollars. and we are also be appealing, very, very soon this weekend for more. so assistance from abroad is coming from our international partners. but of course, the needs are huge, and it is also that the nice i huge now in the immediate response, but for sure we will be in for a long time and therefore the need will be on the longer time. it's awful. thank

properly handled and that the material possessed could mean 3 possible crimes were being committed. is pretty hard to make out a case that this is a which ut, when it has these kind of elements to it that the entire united states is being endangered by this kind of recklessness. and i do believe that he definitely is in criminal jap, reacting on his truth, social channel, donald trump said affidavit, heavily redacted. nothing mentioned on nuclear. a total public relations subterfuge by the f b i in d u a j or, or close working relationship regarding document turnover. we gave them much in the white house briefing room. there was a determination to keep the cotton president out of the political fight. we feel that it is not appropriate for us to comment on this. this is an independent investigation that the department of justice is leading. that's something that the president finds is an important thing to do for the department of justice to have that independent. we're just not going to come in, but he did just

your says, the lawsuits are aimed at protecting the technology that the pioneered and invested in years before the pandemic began. they're not asking for any of the money for that that doesn't like who made from the govern us government. so and that is neutral because they don't want that money. they're not asking for an injunction to stop anybody and assuming everybody they're basically stolen from supervisor. i think that in fact, they're probably thinking that if they, if they win this lawsuit, they'll be in a position to license other companies that want to think this researchers exploring . if m r n a technology can fight diseases such as cancer, malaria, and h, i v, these lawsuits an opening shot at who gets to protect its future. what's at stake is absolutely huge because, you know, what modern is trying to do is to form a near monopoly of m r n a technology. and that's going to stifle innovation.
