international help. villages are submerged in the southwest in ballard. tristan province and punjab in the east. southern send province has also been swamps. the area has recorded an excessive amount of rain than it usually gets at this time of year. more than 900 people have died and rescue work as the struggling to reach thousands who were stranded. then beth ravi reports from sind province. a pause in rain, a chance to survey the disaster that is unfolded in pakistan. 2 months into the monsoon season, the country has declared a national emergency pakistani leaders including the prime minister himself, seeing the floods up close, promising to mobilize more aid. but the skies have dumped so much water. no amount of help seems like enough driving through the water log interior of sin,

the province. you'd be hard pressed to spot a single rescue crew. but death and destruction abound. who will save us? when will the waters recede? what happens now? people in floods stricken pockets and left with questions, but little else. marty. knew no one comes here, not the landlords. no one from the government. no one comes to us. everyone is just lying here, starving children, little ones. the poor don't have anything. where should we go? back to our village. it's not even there any more. houses sank in the water. we're dying from hunger, we have nothing. everything is gone and we've become beggars. we're starving. we're starving. everywhere and sin, desperate testimonies, and please, for help. for the moments the human suffering, the devastation of people's lands and their home, it is worst fear in sin province. but just in the last few days,

the flooding from milk and glaciers and rainfall in the north of the country has 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. flood water, cascading through the swamp, the valley in hybrid. the province is moving swiftly, self 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 was they invest better avi is life for us in the city of la conner and pakistan. now say can you give us an idea of what the situation is like there now? well here in soon providence,

millions of people are waiting for help all over the country. but here in sin province, that's where most of the need is. most of the people that are out of their shelters, out of their homes and on the move on the sides of roads, those people are here in the interior of the province. so let me show you what that looks like. this is a make shift tent city that's been built here. and people are living very basically and very basic conditions. basically just a tarps thrown over some pieces of wood and tied down as tight as they can. and in the current conditions, you know, we're enjoying a bit of a sunny day today, but more rain is forecast. so that may not hold the people we've spoken to here. say they consider themselves to be the lucky ones to have some kind of shelter. they're getting donations of at least 2 meals a day. if you just look over my other shoulder here and we zoom out past, this is some livestock that it was managed to survive the initial floods. but beyond that, if we zoom in to the area over the road, that's another group of people from villages in nearby areas. and they don't even

have enough to put together any sort of tarps or make sure tense. they're reliving very much out in the open, out in the rough and their circumstances are certainly more unknowable at this time . everyone is waiting for some kind of help to show up. but it is not coming quick enough and people are complaining that it taken too long for the government to mobilize. a government has been mired in all kinds of political chaos. for the last several months. people feel have been ignoring a monsoon season that's been in effect for 2 months now. now we do know that in the punjab province, we are seeing really centers being opened up districts in the northern hybrid bucklin hall province are being evacuated. warnings of flash floods have been issued for places that are under immediate threat. and the government is telling us at the local level and at the federal level that help is on the way. but it is going to be a race against time as we much more and more devastate, coming from the north flood waters are coming from the north and they're headed

this way. most of the flood waters here that have inundated these areas is from rainfall that has happened over since province. but we might see a 2nd wave of floods coming from water that is now moving down stream to the south of the country. what is the main obstacle and getting aid and help to the people that most desperately need? it is simply that is just too many of them or that cut off. well, there's a few different things that play. first of all, you know, this is, this is a natural disaster that happens once a decade that is happening in the backdrop of major political upheaval and crisis in pakistan with the ouster a former president, ron, on the national attention, has been focused on the politics playing out in the capital, islam about not so much the natural disaster happening really affecting province this country wide. so that's been one of the problems. there's been a lack of political focus on these issues. now we're also seeing that roads that

have been swept away or making it difficult not only to get help and assess the damage in the places where help is needed. so also making it difficult for those that have survived the floods to try and get out safely to places where is more dry land, where they can get more help. but there also seems to be a lack of international focus. pakistan is the country that's been through a number of crises and the local officials, we've spoken to say the sense a bit of donor fatigue, a bit of international fatigue when it comes to these kinds of problems in pakistan . but the government here has said that it is not focused on the problem alone to solve these conditions that the country is facing, or part of a global climate crisis, of which part is done. they say is on the frontline and a thank you very much. so invest ravi for us and pakistan. the u. s. justice department has released a heavily censored version of the documents that lead. if the i agent to searched on chumps home this month, the search was part of an investigation into whether the former president illegally

removed classified documents from the white house. trump says the search was politically motivated, calling at a break in ellen fisher has more from washington dc. it was a remarkable moment, an f. b i read on the form of a former u. s. president. donald trump revealed the search at his motto: lago property earlier this month on social media. it provoked outreach among supporters. now the department of justice has released the affidavit, used to secure a search warrant, signed off by a judge. trump and his team had already handed over 15 boxes of documents he took with them. when he left the white house. they should have gone to the national archives. going through the boxes, investigators found highly sensitive documents. in the 30 page affidavit which is highly censored, the f b, i laid out its case for a further search, claiming they believed there were more sensitive documents of moto logo, which could injure the u. s. if they fell into their own hands, that despite assurances from trump's legal team,

all documents had been handed over. that these sensitive documents were being and 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. jasper, 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 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 a few minutes later, dismissing the former president's claim, he declassified all the documents. why that one ought declassified everything in the world. i'm pregnant. i'm not gonna come out because i don't know the detail at all. i want to know like the former day. it's unusual for such an affidavit to be released before charges a lead. if charges are to follow, that will be discussion at the highest levels of the department of justice in the days to come. i'll in fisher, i'll just either washington, stock markets have fallen sharply in the us after the hit of the federal reserve. so the central bank would continue to act forcefully to battle inflation. jerome power predicted some pain hit in his remarks at a banking conference in wyoming. he says, the federal reserve would use the tools at its disposal and that higher interest

continue to rise in the months to can possibly as soon as when the federal reserve next meet in september. and by the end of this year or the beginning of next, the interest rate could reach as high as 4 percent. bearing in mind that at each of its last 4 meetings, the federal reserve has increase the rate on each occasion. it's going to have a massive impact on audrey americans who are still struggling to cope with inflation. even though gas prices have gone down, which is something oper relief. but that increase in the interest rate has a role on, in every aspect of life, an increase in the price of cars and the price of mortgages and the cost of rents. so certainly, this is something that would really not be a welcomed by the average american was still ahead on al jazeera lebanese submarine searches for the remains of missing migrants. as christians raised about what happened when the navy intercepted their bars and we made cambodians,

it happened on social media and the undeniable impact of the mainstream narrative fairly quickly. the whole with those images front of my award very much came forth out in the media. love it on the battlefield. the listening to the media on al jazeera. oh ah, you're watching al jazeera reminder of our top stories. this, our pakistan has declared a national emergency after months of record monsoon rein flooding has devastated large swathes of land. displacing thousands of people. the government is appealing for international assistance. the u. s. justice department has released

plant and ukraine. rebecca johnson is the founding president of the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons. she says she's disappointed with the outcome. it is very disappointing. but it should not be surprising. the m p t has actually been fading for a long time because it is essentially used by the nuclear states to reinforce their almost the validity that they attached to nuclear weapons. and he, we are taking place at a time when russia has, as large an invasion against ukraine, but also threatened the use of nuclear weapons are in which deterrence has, has fairly clearly failed. and in which the vast majority of countries here actually want the n p t to tackle nuclear disarmament as well as

nuclear risks and dangerous. you take the thing seriously. nuclear weapons actually have never deterred conflict. so was now what we've seen this year is that perhaps hiding behind the belief in nuclear weapons deterring, president putin of russia exercised what he thought was going to be freedom of action to invade only to find that he met with resistance. and then came the nuclear threats. the u. s. pharmaceutical firm madonna is suing it's rivals father by owner tech, so they copied technology behind it's covered 19 vaccine. the companies jabs, use a technique which madonna claims that developed years before the pandemic. pfizer says that surprised by the lawsuits and will defend its methods. priyanka good to reports. a once in

a generation pandemic brought the was 1st m r. any vaccines to the market at warp speed, millions of lives who saved billions of dollars, well owned. now one of the manufacturers medina is suing its biggest rival, pfizer, and its german potter by and take, it says, for copying its invention. the see 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 money for that visor might have 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. stop anybody and, and are suing everybody. they're basically stolen from song pfizer. 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 do this. researchers exploring

if m r in 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. not just with covert vaccines existing but future generations of cold vaccines and vaccines for influenza. a bowler and other kinds of are emerging in such as diseases that we need to, to tackle. as country is learn to live at the pandemic at once. stop the world. it battle has only just begun over who owns the technology, and who keeps the profit plank got there. i'll dizzier mexico's truth. commission has implicated a military commander in an investigation into the disappearance of 43 students in

some of them, nothing was left 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 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 noticed how to salvage the, the reg, d. c. areas in the syllabus, pulling it out we'll be almost, we'll,
