while the scale is nowhere close to that, what's been going on across the during line in pakistan, it is having quite a negative effect on populations here. this comes out a time where we are in the midst of harvest season, a harvest that many families relied on for their economic well being up, dana, stan has been in the midst of one of the worst humanitarian crises this year that has been healed by a worsening economy. many of those areas that have been affected by flooding over 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 these flash floods that has come through in other parts of the country . they have effected the harvest, the agriculture people are basically losing everything that they have left. right now i can't stand is a dire need of humanitarian aid and supports these flash floods that have hurt over

the fighting occurred in densely populated areas and continued into the night. the thir, 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, to 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 for claim to be in charge of the country. one recognized by the international community based and triply the other drawing its power from the country. these has them,

as ryah's says, the only way forward is for elections to be held over. they are not carmella will die, met him with an addition 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 are the only solution i'm trying to reporting them on the stuff or else i guess lee is a political analyst and he says, the international community is responsible for keeping the conflict from escalating happening because the political conflict between i missed the baby, and the prime minister was appointed by the country by chava fed trying to enter into 242 road from 240 y bay by fusing the governmental bay bay. but the reason being is that he

has to hand to an elected government. why? the reasoning is that he has been selected by the h or, and each of them as malicious affiliated to m b because he's munitions such a bunch of militia. also in the end public or you have to pay the price. the 1000000 many of them have been a few years from other areas of libya. immigrants from other areas of seeking safe haven. but it seems that the, this political conflict will not allow them to peacefully, but they think the solution remains in the hands of the international community and the u. n. the international community gave legitimacy to the government. they have not being clear on this development and relate to the between

the 2 but show they have to be firm and you know, give that decision on which government is that isn't them, and government and support the government until that is the elections to u. s. navy warships are selling to international waters in the taiwan straits as the 1st source transits and tensions with china heightened over year with house b cannot see please visit to taiwan earlier this month. china's military says it's monitoring the u. s. navy ships passage and is ready to and it's words defeat any provocation. so my perri is a senior fellow at the international institute for teaching studies. asia office explains why the movement of us ships through the taiwan strait is significant in the us as a call cent warships through the taiwan straits before. but the real significance is the fact that the place you visit happens the 2nd of august. and you know, this is happening is just 25 or so 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 2 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 re in fi taiwan. at some point in the future. well, this is actually quite difficult for china to react to because we're talking about the transit of these 2 u. s. guided missile carriers as them and they, they trans, at the taiwan straits that are off into the future duty. so there's nothing the chinese can do in relation to those 2 cruises in particular. but what we've seen in the, the years in recent past is that the, the chinese have signified signals that displeasure us activities of all kinds warships and spite plays everything else. boy ascending there and john is across the taiwan stereo identification zone. so that's a very high possibility,

i think is another overflights of an all mulder chinese plains. either taiwan, that's an import 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 zone of taiwan, which is sort of an area that extends around the beyond. the taiwan said a has hair on out, is there an i france's crates 20 new candles putting his stamp on the future of the catholic church, plus ah, why the demolition of these apartments in india is seen as a crack down against corrupt developers. ah, the journey has begun the faithful wold copies on its way to the castle book your travel package today. here's your weather update in

warming as opened maritime routes and increased demand for its oil and mineral resources. wyvil powers such as russia, china and the u. s. a competing for influence. on friday, the u. s. announced it would appointed ambassador at large for the arctic, or the nato secretary general warned of russia's increased military presence. and china's growing interest in the polar region. and southern bank have been visiting canada, one of the 8 arctic nations nato's new strategic concept, identifies rush ross capabilities in the our north asked as the teacher challenge for the whole alarms. russia has set up for a new arctic command. it has all been the hundreds of new and former soviet era, artic and military sites, including air fields and deep water ports, rushes. also you seen the region a success burb for many of its new and novel weapon systems. obviously,

a climate change is creating greater accessibility to the arctic and bringing with it real concerns and challenges around that. but as well, the ill fated unjustifiable decision of russia to append nearly 70 years of peace and stability of a rules based ordered by invading a peaceful neighbor has changed the way we need to look at the arctic cap backups. and as a research of the danish institute for international studies where he focuses on arctic diplomacy, unsecure as the politics, he says, the u. s. is the loss of the 8 arctic states to appoint them back or at large. russia on the one hand, increasing their military capabilities and necklace and military base on the punch georgia plans. now they can actually reached 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 a space where when they need either bilaterally or in the arctic cancer, which unfortunately is on it's on port right now. and so why, why you have regional military rumble? it's even more important to georgia, have to 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 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. so the region is experienced both new risks, but also new opportunities. hundreds of people in central african republic have marched in the capsule, bungie against planned constitutional changes his influence and fasten accounts to the error of trying to lun for a 3rd term. on friday, he ordered the creation of

area of priority for francis, just for countries are now represented in this class of cardinals. for the 1st time, mongolia, paraguay, singapore, in east timor. it is clearly francis church now more than ever. but that doesn't mean the next pope will be in his mold. if you look at the story of the catholic church conclave at the moment when i get elected are pretty much surprising of reform or pope is elected from a pretty conservative conclave, as was the case with apprentice. ah, may be too early to say just who will follow. pope francis, but he's still doing what he can to increase the odd. it will be someone who has received his blessing. adam rainy algeria, vatican city. excitement is building as nasa prepared to take another step towards

the rocket will push the o'ryan spacecraft beyond earth orbit several days and nearly 400000 kilometers. later it will reach the moon. its orbit will pass within 100 kilometers of the lunar surface. after collecting the data it needs it will begin the return trip back to earth. it is definitely getting real. the rocket outside on launch pad $39.00 be will be riding the next chapter of of space exploration and space science. that chapter will include science all along the way, hand in hand with exploration. and i've recently said to our science community, buckle up, everybody. we're going for ride to the moon. it's been 50 years since the human set foot on the moon and the next step for the optimist mission we putting a crew in lunar orbit by 2024 and then 2 astronauts on the moon the following year . your problem. but nasa doesn't plan to stop there, it's 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 is just like artemus one. bind down, risk for us to it buys down the risk. so we go to mars. we deal with the re exposure of the radiation on the long term. we deal with a factor. we gotta 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. then model him al jazeera. ah, without, there are, these are top stories. more than 1000 people have died. an unprecedented monsoon rains across pakistan. 33000000 people are affected by the worst flooding in decades and.
