aftermath of the floods. the discomfort too great for a 2 year old to comprehend. her family says she cries all night, but it will be mighty mite, but children are all sick. look at her, they'll vomiting a lot and have diarrhea. and doctors come from time to time and give medicine, but they don't seem like enough. some are getting better, but some getting sick help is limited to piecemeal local efforts for now. desperation leaving no room for decorum. with those too small or too weak to brave, the crowd are left to console the tread. even volunteers admit whatever they are doing is not enough. indeed we are, but a boat there is a lot of need here. but as far as our capacity goes, the population of the entire region has come here. one person cannot do everything alone. displaced by the floods. people here have been living like this for weeks.

still some say they are the lucky ones. in more remote areas, cut off and stranded people have nothing. the main problem now local leaders say is draining standing water to prevent disease and give people away home. but the more immediate need is to keep them alive. to survive for these people living in the villages, they need dance, they need food items. and we are trying to make packages for each family so that they can survive for a week. and then again, we can give them another beckett next week. this is how we are planning to make sure that the message is be patient. help is coming. but there have been protests and people are angry, that it has taken so long to address the aftermath of monsoon rains that have been pouring down for 2 months. plus, survivors are setting up, makes it camps,

but many of them arrive to safer ground without even a tarp to hang over their heads there, living out in the open. the sun is going down. and this is how so many people across the province will sleep tonight. and more than likely many more nights to come. zane basra b o g, a 0 lower kind of district send pakistan officer also causing destruction and neighboring afghanistan at pans. share in the northeast is the latest province to be swamped of the heavy rain for thousands of homes and slaves of farmland have been destroyed. taliban officials said it's a 182 people have died. are appealing for international help. was to come all model more than 1000000 families need urgent aid from foreign countries such as close 10 and food was let's bring in summer aside rahman, she's the communications and advocacy coordinator at the international rescue committee and joins as 5 zoom from cobble thanks very much for being with us,

the course of the last weeks are also the same areas that had that horrible earthquake occur over a month ago. so before they could even rebuild those shelters, they've had the flash floods that have come through and other parts of the country they have affected the harvest, the agriculture people are basically losing everything that they have left. so it's all been asking for international help, but how difficult is it to give it? well, i mean, a lot, many of the manager in crises in afghanistan over the course of the last year is driven like i said, by the economy, the international community and the sanctions that have been put in place as well as for functions and fights and funding are worsening the situation especially when you have environmental disasters such as the earthquake couple months ago. and now these flooding right now i get this done is in dire need of humanitarian aid and

support. these flash floods that have occurred over the country have killed while over a 180 people. they have damaged homes, they have damage farms. more importantly, they have damaged. they've cut off sections of the country with the flooding, effecting roads and bridges. and this is only going to worse than other humanitarian crises that are already existing in the country, including colorado outbreaks, including disease outbreaks, that we are more prone to when you have situations of flooding. what help is able to reach these people? well right now, the international rescue committee is responding to the flooding on both sides of the jury line. we have our operations going on in pakistan as well. here in afghanistan, we have recently completed joint assessments with other international organizations on the ground in order to best understand how to respond to a flood affected household. we are providing emergency support in the form of

cash distributions. we're also looking into providing emergency shelters and food response as well. okay. and thank you very much. take the time to get us an update on the situation impact in afghanistan. now intense fighting in the libyan capital has killed at least 32 people, an injured more than 150. it follows a belt up arrival forces after a dispute over who should govern vantage raising fairs? libya could return to civil war, and china has this report from tripoli. smoke in the skies of the capitol, holmes hospitals and businesses hit with heavy artillery. across several districts and tripoli, clashes erupted early saturday between rival armed groups. the fighting occurred in densely populated areas and continued into the night. that's when the caches have

been ongoing since last night. they stopped for a bit and then continued. many of the victims were ordinary people, tired, scared, emotionally, and physically drained. these people were trapped in their homes for hours before they were pulled out. city officials are calling for an end to the violence to the lesser lose them and civil society. institutions in tripoli strongly condemned the armed classes in the city and hold the participating parties responsible for shedding civilian blood, intimidating security, and destroying private and public property. there are 2 governments who claim to be in charge of the country. one recognized by the international community based and tripoli, the other drawing its power from the country. these has a mariah's says the only way forward is for elections to be held roughly. i look, i'm and i will die, met him with an addition to because it is the residence of tripoli who are paying

the price. they are the victims. the population of tripoli is nearly 3000000 people and they don't want either government. they want to vote for who they want and power elections of the only solution. things have come down since the fighting began, but people here still fear that libya may be on the verge of a full scale conflict. now trina al jazeera jibley, the prime minister of libya, abdul hamid alger bible has vowed to protect his administration into when you were all here, hand in hand, defending our homeland. we cannot give our country up to those roads who wished to destroy it. you remember what we didn't tripoli last year? people will relieved his life, went back to normal, going out to parks and beaches. but those roads do not wish to cl people, namely, and tripoli, leading a happy life. those x of the question we see today from within libya and from abroad,

victoria states on monday. no round the solomon islands our parts of it anyway, over the past 83 months, temperatures have been above average. so quite this stretch their next. we're going to new zealand, truthfully, it's quite both for the north in the south island, gloomy conditions as some showers for these cape, including kids. been with a hive, 12 degrees, southeast asia. it's really that western portion getting hammered with rain across sumatra, singapore called, and pour the malay peninsula into southern sections of indo china and a cool pool of air along with whites when stormy conditions slumping from the yellow river valley down to the yank sea. so temperature is down in chunk ching, with a high 37 degrees, and for japan improvement in conditions. but what weather never really too far away from tokyo, with a hive 26 degrees on monday. i'll catch her later. ah, the pro democracy activists risking their lives fighting autocracy on me. i

know that i might go to prison and so i will join the ron democracy may be exposed . the struggle of those who believe democracy is worth dying for. we never know when an opening is going to come when a fruit vendor is going to emulate themselves and say enough is enough. my life for democracy. on al jazeera lou ah, are watching out, is there a his reminder of our top stories this hour or than 1000 people have died off the unprecedented one to rainfall in pakistan with 33000000 are affected by the worst

flooding in decades. a nationwide emergency is in place. funding is also causing destruction in afghanistan, thousands of homes and large areas of farmland have been destroyed. telephone officials say at least $182.00 people have died and intense fighting in the libyan capital is killed at least $32.00 people into more than a $100.00. a build up of rival forces over a dispute about who should government stabilizing libya is a vital security concern for the west. it has africa's largest oil reserves and control of the sector has contributed to the fighting. major european oil companies have been active there for decades. but the conflict has severely affected their operations. libby has become a major departure point for illegal migration and human trafficking. last year, 32000 refugees and migrants crossed the mediterranean to europe. more than twice the year before. there is also a wash weapons and though an ice linked armed group there has been defeated.

attacks remain a concern. my cana has more on the international reaction to the latest fighting from washington dc. the un secretary general has added his voice to those expressing concern about developments in tripoli. his spokesman has issued a statement saying the secretary general is deeply concerned about what is happening. calling on all parties to return to the negotiated piece that had been established intended to lead to elections. the us ambassador to libya has also issued a statement holding on the parties to refrain from conflict, calling also for humanitarian corridors to be immediately opened. add countries neighboring to libya have also expressed their concerns egypt to nicea all calling for the fighting to end in tripoli and for the parties to return to negotiation with a view to moving towards elections. now this process has been hindered by the fact

that there is no un special representative in libya at present. and the u. s. has called for you and to move as quickly as possible to get a special representative put in place. in coming days, the un security council will be meeting to discuss libya, and this recent spouse of conflict is likely 3 on top of its agenda. now all parties aimed at getting a negotiation process back in place. getting that truce cert was in place until it started falling apart recently and getting agreement on an election process, which is absolutely essential. most observers believe if the conflict is to end permanently. to us, navy warships are selling to international waters and taiwan strait. as the 1st touch transits and sanctions with china heightened over us house be can nancy plays . his visits taiwan earlier this month. paging reacted furiously to that visit staging days of air and sea exercises around the island. it claims as its own

chinese merch, he says it's monitoring the u. s. navy ships passage and is ready to and it's words defeat any provocation. senate curry is a senior fellow at international institute prestige studies asia office. he explains why the movement of us ships to the taiwan strait is significant in the us as a cool, sent warships through the taiwan straits before. but the real significance is the fact that the place you visit happens the 2nd of august, and this is happening is 25 or 30 days later. it's the sequencing of the speaker of the house going to taiwan. and the fact that the u. s. is felt confident enough within a month to send these to guided missile cruises through the taiwan straits. it is extraordinary from us perspective, to be able to project this kind of strength in defiance of china's claims to, to want to reunify taiwan at some point in the future. well, this is actually quite difficult for china to react to because we're talking about

the trends of these 2 u. s. guided missile cruises, them and they trans, at the taiwan straits and then they're off into the future. g t. so there's nothing the chinese can do in relation to those 2 cruises in particular. but what we've seen in the years in recent past is that the, the chinese have signify signals that displeasure us activities of all kinds warships on spite plays of the else by sending their own chinese across the taiwan stereo identification zone. so that's a very high possibility, i think is another overflights of the normal to chinese planes. either telling one that's an important distinction to don't tend to fly over time. want to think sometimes we hear this, we think the choices of buzzing tie pay, they're actually covering the aerial identification in taiwan, which is sort of an area that extends around the the, on the taiwan the sinking of the arctic due to global warming, has opened maritime routes and increased demand for its oil and mineral resources.

rival powers, such as russia, china, and the u. s. a competing for influence on friday us announced that would appoint an ambassador at large for the arctic nato secretary general warner of russians increased military presence. and china's growing interest in the polar region in silicon berg has been visiting canada. one of the 8 our technicians mark jacobson is a researcher at the danish institute international studies where he focuses on optic diplomacy and security politics. he says the u. s. is the loss of the 8 arctic states to appoint an ambassador at large. russia on the one hand, increasing daniel terry kept abilities and necklace, squire, and military base on the shores of blanche. now they can actually reach the layout base. so that means that it becomes more important for the us to protect the national security against russia. because if you look at the globe on the top of the globe, if you sitting washington, the, the, the, the,

the shortest route between washington and moscow goes by, the north pole. that's why it's become more strategic important to, to the us. and that is why we also see the important appointment of us ambassador at large for, for the arctic farms, the us, it's the last of the 8 arctic states which, which did not until today have an, an actual optic ambassador. so what it does is that the level, all the 8 states where when they need either by laterally or in the arctic cancer, which unfortunately is on its on port right now. and so why, why you have regional military rumble. it's even more important to georgia, have have the diplomatic exchanges to avoid. prevent that some misunderstand things up, perhaps mind dispute turn into some, some the major conflicts and get and get out of hand. so,

but it's both the appointment of the, the arctic or the decision to have a u. s. and that large for the arctic is both because of security. but it's also the cost of commercial interest and also because of climate change with, which is a very important issue for the, for the biden administration. because the, the optic is now warming 4 times faster than the global average. and so the region is experienced both new risks, but also new opportunities. as the people in central african republic have marched in the capital bungie against planned constitutional changes, he is in present personal cans to the error of trying to one for a 3rd term. on friday, he ordered the creation of a committee to rewrite the constitution. opposition says it's the beginning of a dictatorship, uniform vulnerable court order. we do not understand why that to day when the

central african people are experiencing other problems. we are suddenly presented with the story about amending or drafting a new constitution like a thunderclap during the dry season. this is not the priority of the central african peoples. aim of this maneuver is to blow up the locks limiting the number of presidential turns to to so that to darrell will be president for life. so borders of argentine as vice president, christina crushed, i have fought with police and one as iras. ah, they were trying to reach her neighbor to show their support. a prosecutor has asked fernandez to be sentenced to 12 years in prison and prevent her from holding public office again. he is accused of corruption indeed, although it is i'm demolished to residential blocks, were violating multiple building and fire regulations and the 40000 kilograms of explosives. we used to bring down 850 apartments known as twin towers in the east of the capital. new delhi, thousands were evacuated in the neighbourhood,

step for the optimist mission, we putting a crew in lunar orbit by 2024. and then to ask reynolds on the moon to the following year. your problem. but nasa doesn't plan to stop there. it setting it sites on mars, proving out all the logistics of the habitats and the hatches and the suits. and the rovers and the wheels and all of that stuff proving that out on the moon. it's just like artemus one bind down risk for our damage to it buys down the risks and we go to mars. we deal with the re exposure of the radiation on the long term. we deal with the fact we got to take all of our water in our food with us. the americans aren't the only ones with lunar ambitions. china also wants to land a crew on the moon by the end of the decade. the new space rates for the 21st century is only just getting started. been model him al jazeera. now some of indonesia biggest artists are displaying their work together for the 1st time since the pandemic arch. acosta features interactive pieces, contemporary bon,
