a shortage of food. we are in the midst of harvest season, a harvest that many families relied on for their economic well being. afghanistan has been in the midst of one of the worst humanitarian crises, the sierra that has been fueled by a worsening economy. a few kilometers north nangle hall. these were the scenes on saturday people waiting to be rescued after a deluge of water in gulf that forms destroying much needed fruit trees and crops. in the years since the taliban had been in power, afghanistan has been logic cut off from international funds. now it's asking for help was to come mo, mo, who, more than 1000000 families need urgent aid from foreign countries, such as clothes, trends, and food. and i was left here. people at the west chum and border crossing

between afghanistan and pakistan were caught up in the flooding. monogamous rescue operations are on the way boat with more rain full calls. people have little time to grapple with the loss of life and livelihood. lore about among the al jazeera, well now speak to rod al ha dede whose head of operations at the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies in afghanistan is joining us from cobble. thank you very much, miss sadie for being with us on al jazeera. i've got a son, as we heard, was already facing a humanitarian crises. certainly a new crisis that afghans don't need tell his for his, your assessment of the situation right now in what's needed to help people thank you for the thank you for having me tonight to the always being there to be the voice of the voiceless. this is the time for consistency of continuing

commitment. the people who get a get it down to people that cannot be forgotten, been one of the world you've been commenting on pakistan. and this is another bill . we're not the only 22000000 people over that. we have multiple commission are in need of assistance because it's really the people i've been with the think many crisis. it's a complex situation i did just heartbreaking to see such a human suffering among people struggling for the past. as you might know that like 2 months ago, i've got to stand with it as quick as well. and we've been, haven't been patricia, of course we've been working closely with our national getting bandwidth goes in to deal with calamity and that is and right. as you say, people have got to have been suffering for for decades. now the taliban government

says the situation today has been made worse because of the legacy of the past. miss management of the country. is this valley? do you think in terms of infrastructure, for example, how bad is the situation to deal with the crisis for your organization? to be able to help people well fully, i have to admit that to which is complex it's, it's been just from now it's been continuous because we are talking about decades of, for more than 40 years of conflicts. and that was compounded with climate change in use. disasters that the infrastructure to co with the calamities are simply is not there. this is compounded by the lack of international development aids right now, because we're talking about global sanctions against the dentist. and i think we'll be in the price of the people who are going to stop here. we are at cross really

because of movement. we are trying, we are working closely with i can start with the person who is working on the block with the network of 50000 volunteers and 34 branches all over again. is that. so the good thing about our national partner here that they have access, all of what i've done is done. so in the context it's complex. but let, we have people here in imperatives to find solutions and to ensure access and to deliver the paid for those people who are made for our services. you talked about mr. how did international aid and the taliban has a being for international help. but as you know, some donors are concerned that the aid being sent is not perhaps benefiting the people who need it the most that it's been diverted. how do you as an organization working on the ground, alleviate some of those concepts? thank you for bringing this started because like we've been constantly here are,

are good discussions with our donors and shooting like showing exactly the majors that dental national get closer to prison are put in place to ensure that we have transponent procedures at the ensure accountability to worse than just doing this, but mostly for our local communities who are engaged in the design and, and the receiving aid. so like it's a crucial steps that we are constantly reminded why, how well it is you mission and of get us down here. we meet as well as the national mackenzie crossed with glistened. moment bob is right now we have the can it be a dentist with the cross? we have the target for the customs. we have the region with cross and like the customer with us. and so we are in the country here, and we are committed to towards donors. but most of that towards the people who are

in need for our services. thank you so much for talking to a sand painting as the picture of a situation there in afghanistan rad r a. d to head of operation, the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies in afghanistan . thank you for your time, sir. thank you. will you, while, let's now returned to the situation in pakistan, which is also affected by floods. as you've heard on this news, our, let's now speak to time, or con jaguar who is the provincial minister of chiropractor film, cor, province for finance, and how he joins us from the shower. thank you so much for being with us. i can you tell us 1st about the current situation in kind of back to inquire when it comes to these friends? what's the magnitude of the disaster? good evening and indeed look, i remember we had the worst lot that we've ever had in our history in 2010 and the quantum of water that flowed in different areas of quiet,

particularly in the last 3 days, has been greater than 2010 been close to a 1000000 people displayed, displayed, but at small houses demolished huge effect on the crop. and this is not just in capital areas of southern punjab. below just on it's effectively it can be of the order of magnitude of 2010. what i'm proud of inhibitor. why is how the government response has been different and how for the 1st time and it's 3 because of investments, proactive investments, to add medication and, and station we've seen a level of law that was still perhaps north of the $1000000000.00 and downs. we cannot make impact is less than 2000 in the preemptive accusations. but we still, we are despite all that,

we're talking of 250 lives lost in proven. yeah. let me go put it up on something. he said, please, if i can, you see the government response has been better in kind of a back to god. but as you know, the pakistani government has been accused of inaction because schools have been destroyed, cramps are failing, and cholera cases on the rise. so what, what's different in come back to why that's how it hasn't happened elsewhere to send, for example, what sort of support are you getting that other provinces haven't been getting i give you a few examples. we've trained our district administration to be proactive. they were that i was myself and showered in charge over the last couple of days. and i felt a lot of pride at the fact that with the early warning systems in place, most of 400000 people in the 3 districts were evicted from that. how was it just in time, their capital, what actually secure,

i'm just back and almost missed the program because i was visiting different areas of our capital are being fed. people are being given food, shelter, medical cabinets. these are some of the immediate interventions we invested in the rest of the service, which exists in each of benefits districts in the province. and they seem to 100 the same number of life. there's something we may need to be called in to do. it's happening on a daily basis. we invested in embankment law protection walls in no chair, which was one of the most effective districts in 2000. and then the investment in those embankments perhaps said, catastrophic flaw. right. this is not the case for, for other areas of pakistan as we've seen in the last few days. the pictures are just tremendously difficult. i mean, for the people who are experiencing this and the floods are expected to cost focused on economy. some $4000000000.00 tell us about the impact on no problem in

short and long term, and how people's livelihoods are going to be affected. easiest thing for me to do would be to find out what you said because there's a different government say yes, that's true, but you're right. focused on is going to need a lot of the entire country is going to need a lot of we've just emerged out of the cold with the crisis where we spent a lot of money. we're in the midst of and i am at program which obviously is difficult conditionality and leaving stuff i hope. and the message that i'd like to give to the international community is you need to have a call back. i hope institutions like the i m f will not just understand the criticality of the program, but we'll be able to help you some of the conditionality so that we can get better through the day. we can discuss later on, you know, i'll go through governance in the rest of the country. but this is

a time when people in across pockets are going to need help. and the reason that i'm on is i want to give that message that across barcas, in the international community helps if the large diaspora overseas pocket bodies that we have you will be helping millions of people not fall below the poverty line . you will be helping back better in a much better rate. thank you for talking to the thank you very much. same or con john rise. the provincial minister of kind of back to me, gra, for finance and house in the shower. pakistani, thank you for your time. thank you. fancy moorehead on this news. our including libby is un battle guffman says it's taking control of the capitol after a day of heavy fighting between bible malicious kills doesn't. i'm the green barbara in blackpool in northern england, where the cost of living crisis is already hitting

a halt. a where people are now facing a huge rise in energy prices and in sport, liverpool, steel. the headlines with a record equaling victory mcmillan ah . first to ethiopia, where rebels from to grey in the north sea. they have taken control of the town of wal dia in the neighboring m higher region. there reportedly less than 200 kilometers from capturing the city of dessie and manufacturing hub is comes 2 days after a government as tried that targeted the rebels stronghold of mckelly. at least 4 people in filling 2 children were killed. unicef says a kindergarten was hit, a government set it targeted military sites. the conflict between the rebels integral and government forces began nearly 2 years ago. a cease fire was agreed earlier this year, but fighting resumed last week that speak to our samuel get our chew,

who's an independent journalist, and he's joining us live from ethiopia, capital addis ababa? samuel? tell us more 1st about what the t p f has been saying and how significant it would be if they indeed captured this city or of wald. yeah. well, what we know so far is that the organ army has left to go. they say, fearing that a fight within the city will effect so many people in so many will be so many people will be affected. they have left cowboy and they say they're in the suburbs of cowboy. but in terms of capture any other towns or villages or cities, we are not in a position to verify. we've, i've heard the rumors, the united nations is said to be on the age in terms of not being able to deliver the kinds of aid that's needed in the region. but again, kabul is an am hora,

they're fighting was in m r, and there was, i mean, there are a few days ago, there was an air attack that was committed by the ethiopian government side in which they have said that they're fighting a terrorist organization. and they're in it to really bring this country intact and to route out the kind of terrorism they said up by the declaration of parliament that term there, that the need to keep there might be because they want it to appear to be intact according to the government, but the deep end of side hasn't said much, but they've been sending accusations back and forth between the european side and the t p. a left as has been the norm in the last 2 years of this conflict that they had been a ceasefire in play. sammy and what led to the recent clara of hostilities when it's who you are at the top and government is saying there are provoked into getting into this conflict. the slater's conflict, the t p never saying otherwise, but there was hope that there was good going to be some kind of negotiation to

bring this to an end. because this conflict has begun in november of 2020 approaching it's 2nd year has been a facing not just the to gray region, but it's been coming to m r and r 5 region for the government for the open government to say that the t p enough which again they've said is it's. busy organization is coming to those regions, 2 to one, to fight, engage in all kinds of conflicts, and to a call. what has been said in the last 2 years of 15, millions of ethiopia, according to the united nations. they've been saying that benefits your parents have been displaced. researchers are saying more than 500000 people have died. as a result of this conflict in there doesn't seem to be any end in sight. but there is an interest from global players including biters, washington, dc and new york and eden, and even love to come in and to bring this to an end because it's really shaking

this country to the core. samuel, thank you very much for that, sammy, i'll get you joining us there from addis ababa. thank you. the the war in ukraine now and russian rocket and artillery strikes of cities near these operation nuclear power plant fighting. the other facility has stokes years of radiation league. it's been under russian control since the early days of the war. official in apparition have begun distributing id campus to residents. the move comes after 2 of the, of the 3 reactors at the nuclear power plant, like disconnected for a time on thursday. that's bringing teresa bow, whose lie for us in keep teresa. tell us the latest what's been happening in and around the operation nuclear power plant. well, this property here, nuclear power plant continues to be a big concern, not only for ukraine,

but also for the international community. the russian ministry of defense. i q says the ukranian forces are bombing at least twice, very, very close to where the nuclear power plant is located. they felt like shelling was very close to where the nuclear fuel is located and where the radioactive waste is located. so there is a major concern on going there, but also ukrainian force, it's on the ukrainian government and saying that it's the russian for actually shelling from the plan. the plan was taken back in march. the russian forces established a military base there from where they have been attacking ukrainian forces to other part. so definitely it's a big, big concerns. what been going on there, and that's why or 30 have started distributing i o d peels in cities around the plant. let not forget that ukraine already suffered from a nuclear disaster back in the, in the past. and turnover is one of them. so they're very concerned that something like this could happen again. i, oh, the pills are the ones that help you protect the thyroid gland. if anything where

to go wrong, and while this is happening there, the fighting is still on going, especially in the southern part of the country where we have heard that ukrainian forces have been targeting crucial military base. it's russian military bases around that area. there's also been, they have been repelling russia to tax, trying to take over the southern part of the country. and another interesting development in this war is that the ukrainian government is asking all the citizens from the eastern province is covering the dawn by feria to leave. that part is mandatory evacuation because they have seen an increase in attacks by russian forces all around that area. and they're basically telling the people that they have to leave, and if they want to stay, they have to sign a paper where they say that they're responsible for their own lives. so this war has been ongoing for about 6 months. it has moved towards the southern and the eastern part of the country. it's unlikely to finish anytime soon. the front line

has basically not moved since this past few weeks. the contact line where ukrainian or russian forces are fighting. and we've been talking to some experts that say that in the next month, the fighting could get much more intense, mostly because winter is coming. and that's why you know, it could mean that one or the other side either the russian or ukrainian side to try to win positions to try to win the war. terrible in key. thank you for that update. com is returning to libby as capital after a day of intent, fighting that killed at least 32 people and injured more than 100. 50. that you in back to government says it's taken by full control of tripoli. groups they affiliated to libya is rival powers centers font with each other after a dispute about who should govern. malik trina wraps up saturdays fighting from tripoli. smoke in the skies of the capital homes, hospitals and businesses hit with heavy artillery across several districts in

back here watching the news our on al jazeera with me for the battle, a reminder of our top stories more than a 1000 people have died after unprecedented mon, so in rainfall, in pakistan, more than 33000000 are affected by the west spreading in decades, a nationwide emergency is in place in ethiopia, rebels from the t grier region in the north se they've captured the city of war, dia, and close to taking the city of dessie. in the m hire a region is comes 2 days after 8 government days, try killed 4 people in mckinney and a russian rocket and artillery swipes have hit cities near zap, felicia nuclear power plant in crane fighting. the facility has told of radiation leak. it's been under russian control since the early days. now, excitement is building as not separate pairs to take another step towards its return

to the moon. an unmanned module is set to be launched into orbit on monday. the u. s. plan to put humans back on the moon surface by 2025. this is a giant rocket that will power enough as our to miss mission name the space launch system or s l s. it will generate 15 percent more thrust than saturn 5, which powered the apollo more missions, the less will carry the or ryan capsule into space. it's designed to travel further and longer than the polar lunar lander. i'm time nasa hoping to make history with the 1st woman and person of color on the moon, but this mission will have only mcqueen's on board for the moon landing. they'll be for astronauts. that's one more than the apollo missions 60 years ago. finter monahan has more this is the world's most powerful rocket. nasa intends to you that present humanity back to the moon. monday launch will be

a crucial test for the artemus mission. this is the single step that starts the journey of a 1000 miles. so we are going to launch a brand new heavy lift bracket with more lift off for us than the united states has ever produced, even more than saturn 5. we've got a brand new capsule that can sustain a crew of 4 for $21.00 days on flights to the moon, around the moon and beyond the moon. we're going to test all that out. arguments began to journey long before launch day. the booster rockets came by, train from utah. the core ship by barge from mississippi. that's where the world's most powerful engines were put to the test. earlier this year, the rocket will push the o'ryan spacecraft beyond earth orbit several days and nearly 400000 kilometers later. it'll reach the moon. it or it 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 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 were gone for a ride to the moon. hi, good morning. 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 . 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 our damage to it buys down the risk. so we go to mars. we deal with the rate 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. bins model him al jazeera while it asked me to leo and write, who's independent journalist covering nasa and space exploration. he joins a sly from dublin. good to have you again on our job here leo, thank you for joining us. so lots of excitement about this one, the 1st test flight of the hardware that we use to send us not later to the morning said to lift off on monday. of course, if all goes well, will it go? well, what are your expectations here? well, certainly nasa have been very careful in the last few days to emphasize that this is indeed a test flight. and that they don't absolutely guarantee that if we choose in just after 1230 i pass noon g and t tomorrow that will actually see

a launch. there is a 2 hour launch window so they can delayed the launch by up to 2 hours. but if it doesn't go off tomorrow, it will be the end of next week before they can try again. so there are a lot of issues that could delay this launch more ready this morning. we had 5 lightning strikes, apparently, to the launch pad. no moves them terribly serious, but that's exactly the sort of thing thing. the flight engineers, if they saw up to morrow, i would definitely call off a launch if they saw a lightning of that sort in the area also at o, fingers and toes crossed for a successful launch tomorrow, but no guarantee no guarantees. but if it is successful, then what sort of timeline are we looking at? because every one of course is saying, oh, you know, we're taking astronauts back to the new one, but it's not going to be right away, right? that's right, exactly. now, with this mission,

the timeline is very long. the mission, if it launches as the beginning of the launch window at 1233 or g m t to morrow, then it will spend about 42 days in the moon's vicinity. that's far longer than the 1st cruise of astronauts will be sent to spending around the moon and it will be several years at least 2 years before the 1st crude mission. i'll ask for knobs, leaves earth aboard our to miss to that will be probably in 2024. and then the 1st lunar landing of the archivist program with the 1st woman. and the 1st person of color on board will take place 20252026. if all goes well, that would be hugely symbolic. of course, let me ask you, i mean 60 years since apollo. why go back to the moon now?

what can today's astronaut scatter? thou tell us more about the moon that we didn't already know that rover is an ann landers didn't already uncover? well indeed, you're right, it's a long time since we've had humans on the moon. i was actually in mission control when they left to the moon for the last time, way back in 1972 feels like a lifetime ago. we learned so much from the rocks of the astronauts brought back and bizarrely much of what we learned was in the more recent years because the rocks haven't changed, of course. but our technology has improved enormously. and so we're learning more and more about the history of the earth from these lunar rocks. and we're also learning about the formation of the solar system. most importantly and most dramatically in recent decades, we have discovered that there is indeed water on the moon that would have been

unthinkable as a thought when i was covering the apollo program 60 years ago. and, and it's now a reality. and that's what these astronauts will be going after. the water at the south pole of the move. i a po know leo for america was mostly about eating the soviet union to the moon. what, what do you see this? i can this mission objective is being in a big picture and what will it i to you thank well, when the americans obviously beat the russians to the move, there's no question about bath and they've demonstrated an absolute dominance in the space arena ever since. really, however, we've seen china move very rapidly in recent years to develop its own programs. we know from recent public announcements by the chinese, for instance, that they're well advanced in building the rocket,

which they will use to san women and men to the moon in the 2030 time frame. they're also building the lender, which will bring those people, those chinese asper dogs to the surface of the moon. and the americans have noticed this, the american administrator of nasa at google nelson said just a few days ago that they've been looking at china as it expands it, space ambitions. and they're particularly concerned. he said that they might say the chinese might say, this is our exclusive zone. you stay out thus the american framing of what the chinese might think. i'm quite certain the chinese would deny that. but no sin made clear that this was one of the american motivations. leah always good to talk to you. thank you so much for joining us on august the meal and rights during a fat front dublin. thank you. my charities in the u. k. a

at the taiwan straits and then are 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 and spite plays everything 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 been almost a chinese plains of the time. 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 identifications on taiwan, which is sort of an area that extends around the, the on taiwan hope. frances has named 20 new cod knows in a ceremony at the vatican. the appointments include more candidates from africa and asia. as the roman catholic church pushes to become more diverse. and as adam rainy
