9:04 pm
a huge loss when you think about the fact that gone, she'll go again, register crops, road go bad, new dami. the government of god has not taken adequate measures to mitigate the effect of climate change. it was over 10 years ago at budgets on so it did it, but it flags. i know it was that the government would be prepared to read another crisis. given the fact that david ordered a warning play over 50 percent of the country population it now under red, we go to water born and the fact that it will take some time for them to read better, their lie and al jazeera zane bas robbie is in the city of la conner in 7 pakistan residents here. it tell us that what we're looking at now that water wasn't there before and they say it looks like a lake. it looks like an ocean that looks like
9:05 pm
a c. and what was, once there were their homes, villages where people live and what we're hearing from the folks that are speaking . this is decorate country where thieves, rome relatively, really there is less police presence here and they are worried about things being stolen. they're worrying about what few possessions they were able to salvage from their flooded homes being now stolen from them. so what they're doing is that they're loading up whatever they can. they're carrying in shoulder d, connected water to carrying out whatever they can on their heads, loading them up on trucks, one village at a time per truck trying to get out of here. they don't know where they're going for . sure. but they say what they're looking for, they're not waiting around for help. they're going out looking for work, any labor work that they can find. you're looking for aid, they're looking for ways to save and feed their children. early i spoke with time or con john gravy, provincial minister, for kind of back to inquire for finance fan health in pakistan. he says like i saw
9:06 pm
these international assistance to deal with the record floods. i remember we had the west floods that we've ever had in our history in 2010 and the quantum of water that flowed in different areas of the cabinet to inquire, particularly in the last 3 days, has been greater than 2010. been now close to a 1000000 people displayed, displayed perhaps more houses, demolished a huge effect on the crop. and this is not just in capital areas of southern punjab sin below just it's effectively a calamity of the order of magnitude of 2010. pakistan is going to need a lot of the entire country is going to need a lot of we've just emerged out of a corporate crisis where we spent a lot of money. we're in the midst of an i m f program which obviously
9:07 pm
entail 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 help all of us. i hope into fusion like the i m f will not just understand the critic ality of the program, but will be able to help us use some of the conditionality so that we can get better through the pay across pocket. if the international community helps if the large diaspora overseas, pakistani is that we have help, you will be helping millions of people not fall below the poverty line. you will be helping us back better in a much better re. floods are also causing destruction in neighboring afghan is found a thousands of homes and large areas of farmland have been destroyed. taliban officials say at least 182 people have died lower burden. manley has more this is the aftermath of weeks of lashing rain in a from
9:08 pm
a sons because she district the floods proved too much for these mud bricked home. as water looped in families were forced out last week, people were hoping for some respite that didn't happen. syllable could put it over to the flooding was unprecedented in history of to she, it destroyed every one's houses, livestock in agricultural lands. people are a homeless, they still refuge in the mountains. across the north and east, the government says more than 20000 homes have been damaged or swept away. and nearly 200 life lost uniform rescue workers say it's compounding most pu crises from an economy and free for to spreading disease and a shortage of food. we are in the midst of harvest season, a harvest that many families relied on or their economic. while the n afghanistan has been in the midst of one of the worst humanitarian crises, the sierra that has been fueled by
9:09 pm
a worsening economy. a few kilometers north, nangle ha, these with the seems 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, more than 1000000 families need urgent aid from foreign countries, such as clothes, trends, and food. and i was out of 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 cost. people have little time to grapple with the loss of life and
9:10 pm
livelihood. floor of a man me al jazeera, rod al had edith head of operations have international federation of red cross and red crescent societies. and i've got his son. he says, decades of conflicts have worse and the crisis own with 22000000 people over that mean half of the nation are in need of assistance because it's 3 d. s. people have been with the think many crisis. it's a complex situation and it just out of breaking to see such a human suffering among people struggling for the past. it's, as you might know that like 2 months ago, i've got to stand with this week as well. we are talking about decatur of more than 40 years of conflict and that was compounded with climate change in disasters. that's the infrastructure to call with the calamity is simply not there. this is confounded by the lack of international
9:11 pm
development right now, because we talk about global sections again. and i think in the price of the people who are going to stand here, we cross when we are training, we are working closely with the against that with the person who is working the clock with this network of 30000 and want to use it for brackets all, but i'm going to stop. so the good thing about our next partner here that they have access all of what i've done. so the quote is complex, but like we have imperatives to find solutions and to show abysses and to deliver aid for those people who are made for our services. when a sound speak to jamie beck. alexander, she is director of projects drawn down an organization that works to reduce levels of greenhouse gases. she joins us from minnesota in the u. s. thank you very much
9:12 pm
for being with us. now most experts, i know us feel very cautious and caution against tying any specific event directly to emissions of greenhouse gases. all these fun disasters that we're seeing, whether in pakistan, afghanistan. so don, are they the impact of climate change? you think? i think we can say without a doubt that yes they are. in fact they did the impact of climate change every day . it becomes more clear that you know, regions of the world that are already experiencing widespread policy of poverty and food insecurity are also the most of our vulnerable to climate change as we're seeing, playing out today in afghanistan and pakistan. and so yes, i think we can, we can, without a doubt time use these extreme weather events, the likes of which we have not seen before, to increasing planetary instability that comes from climate change. but how much of it is also down to poor investment and management of the environment and infrastructure in these countries?
9:13 pm
well, we do have to look now at solutions to the climate crisis that also address these, these infrastructure issues. because there are solutions to the climate crisis that also help protect i protect communities. so there are, you know, solutions like like where we, where we plants and grow our crops and natural mangroves, natural carbon sinks. that actually absorb carbon and they protect community is from flooding. and you know, i have to say we're, we're responding now to a world that is continuing to change. the world is going to continue to experience the effects of climate change. this isn't going to stop here or, or plateau until we address cause of climate change. and so we're playing catch up because the world and largely developed, you know, largely the, you know, higher income countries like the united states in europe have not stabilized our greenhouse gas emissions. and that's, you know, and that's what we're seeing playing out. and until we do address, you know,
9:14 pm
and start to reduce those emissions in the atmosphere, it will continue to get worse, and we'll have to be, you know, playing catch up and implementing solutions that do address both climate change and help protect and build the resilience of our communities, but jamie, as you know, there are a lot of skeptics ave even guffman seen the u. s. we seen there was some a great deal of sex skepticism. cami scientists. i know i said this year for example, that the summer has been one of the hardest ever, with high temperatures, breaking records across the u. s. a. europe and central asia is the evidence said to day the strong is the evidence strong, linking all these events to climate change in. how do you convince leaders who is still skeptical about it is a, it's a difficult thing to tie to, you know, a one on want. i want a one to one ratio to tie this specifically to climate change. my thing climate scientists are increasingly increasingly sure that, that, that, that is indeed what's happening and we're seeing it, you know, i think the way that we start to make that case to policymakers is we're seeing it
9:15 pm
play out not just in one sector or one part of the world, but everywhere we're seeing it here in the united states. we saw it in greece in the, the wildfires it across europe and in greece last summer. this is, you know, we're, we're seeing it playing out everywhere. and so now, because we've spent so much time not acting or acting, an incremental fashion, now we have to try to play catch up and, and you know, and implement solutions rapidly and invest in solutions rapidly that protect our communities. while we, while they address the climate crisis, but i think, i mean it's a, is a very difficult thing to, to tie lou hi machine. ah, but this, i think the, you know, the evidence is all around us. and scientists are in, increasingly speaking out, more and more confidently about that, that is very, very close and inextricable length. do you think it's too late to change things around, or is it inevitable now that we'll continue to see these extreme events? are they measures that we can take to be very so slow them down?
9:16 pm
it's absolutely not too late. every bit of greenhouse gases that we continue to put into the atmosphere. we'll make this crisis worse, but it is not inevitable. it is not, it is not inevitable that it will spin out of control. we can still address this and every bit of, you know, every bit of effort, funding, policy, behavior change that we put into addressing the problem will help it from getting worse. we, we know what is causing this planetary instability. we know what's causing in these, these floods and wild fires that we're seeing in other parts of the world. and we have the solutions to address it. so the faster we invest in those solutions and implement those solutions, especially in higher income countries that have the luxury of being able to reduce our emissions on behalf of parts of the worlds that don't have that option. the faster we do that, the more the faster will be able to get this thing under control and plateau, you know, and keep it from,
9:17 pm
from getting worse from here. thank you very much for talking to us, jamie beck. alexander joining us there from minnesota in the you a thank you for your time. thanks for having me. but at least 7 people have been cale gov to severe flooding in easton to dawn. torrential rains destroyed around 4000 homes in catholic faith, forcing people into makeshift shelters. nearly $70000.00 hector's of agricultural land is under water. the state government is appeals for humanitarian aid. dozens of people have been killed by flash floods, incident in the past 2 weeks. plenty more had on the news hour, including libya's un bash guffman says the station control of the capitol after a day of heavy fighting between viral malicious kills. i'm the dream barbara in blackpool in northern england where the cost of living crisis is already hitting hauled. where people are now facing a huge roy's in energy prices. and later in support, we'll show you why tottenham remain. i'm beaten this from the instance.

the shelling since they took over the nuclear power plant. back in march. they stablished a military base there. and they have been attacking a russian forces from their local authorities around all that area. have been distributing the pills to different hospitals in case anything goes wrong in, in case there's any type of leak radioactive leakage pills can be used to protect the thyroid gland from radiation. so that can major concern and that's why it is important. the presence of a 3rd party, a 3rd party would be the united nations nuclear watchdog b i a, we know that they're putting together a visit in place and it's likely to happen in the next few days. of a u. s. has criticized russia for blocking a un joint declaration on nuclear disarmament. after nearly a month of talks wash, i refused to sign objecting to part of the draft final statement which included concerns about the russian seizure of these operations power plant as bringing

9:22 pm
with russia. so much contention there. of course this is a nuclear disarmament treaty that's been around for decades. it's supposed to be updated every 5 years. didn't happen last time. due to the pandemic due to concerns regarding the middle east, and this time again, it fell apart on the last day with this final draft. never naming russia, however, making at least 4 references to military activities around the apparition plan, which russia apparently has taken issue to heidi. thank you for that update. heidi show castro life for us in washington rebels. some to grind northern ethiopia seed have taken control of the town of walter in the neighboring m. higher a region. they reported less than 200 kilometers from capturing the city of dessie and manufacturing hub. this comes 2 days after a government airstrike that targeted the rebels stronghold of may kelly. at least 4 people, including 2 children, were killed. unicef, save

9:24 pm
the kinds of aid that's needed in the region. but again, global is and i'm horror, the fighting was in omaha 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 and tugged the open government is saying there are provoked into getting into this conflict, this latest 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 of this comp begun in november of 2020 approaching its 2nd year husband are facing no just that to grow region, but it's been coming to our, our and our 5 region for the government, for the children government to say that the t p left, which again they've said as a t. busy organization is coming to those regions to,
9:25 pm
to want to fight engage in all kinds of conflicts. com is returning to libya's capital after a day of intense fighting that killed at least 32 people and injured more than a 150. they went back, government says it's taken back for controller tripoli. groups affiliated to libya as rival power centers fought with each other. after a dispute about who should govern, malik trina has more on saturdays fighting 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. the cautious have been ongoing since last night. they stopped for a bit and then continues. many of the victims were ordinary people, tired, scared,
9:26 pm
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 civil society. institutions in tripoli strongly condemned the armed classes in the city and hold the participation policies responsible for setting civilian, blood, intimidating, security, 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 in tripoli, the other drawing its power from the country. these has him as arise, says the only way forward is for elections to be held. and what day mentoring with an ad got it, is the residents of tripoli who are paying the price. dia, the victims. the population of tripoli is nearly 3000000 people and they don't want

either government. they want to vote for whom they want empower 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 chipley massage far as i guess, lee is the political unless he says the international community has a key role to play in preventing the conflicts 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 using the governmental chava bay bay. but the reason being is that he has to hand to an
9:28 pm
elected government. why, the reasoning is that he has been selected by the shore and each of them as malicious affiliated to m. b. but militia such a rush of militia, also in the end the public will have to pay the price. the 1000000 many of them have been refugees from other areas of libya, immigrants from other areas of seeking safe haven, but it seems that this political conflict will not allow them to peacefully. but i 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,

t grey and russian rocket in artillery strikes have hit, city is near the south region nuclear power plant. fighting near the facility has sold fears of a radiation leak. a screen under russian control, cynthia, and days after the war by excitement is building as nasa prepares to take another step towards its return to the mod. an unmanned module is said to be launch into orbit on one day. the us plans to put humans back on the moon surface by 2025. this is a giant rocket that will power in masses. are chemist mission name the space launch system or s, unless it will generate 15 percent more thrust than stat and 5. which power the apollo moon missions, the s l s, will carry the o'ryan capsule into space. it's designed to travel further and longer than the apollo lunar lander in time masses hoping to make history with
9:34 pm
a 1st woman and person of color on the moon. but this mission will have only mannequins 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 use it to send 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're going to launch a brand new heavy lift bracket with more lift off ross than the united states has ever produced even more than center 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
9:35 pm
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. 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 writing 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 were gone for 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 arguments 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,
9:36 pm
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 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. bins model him al jazeera, i and man rapid no is near the launch site in cape canaveral, florida. we're at the kennedy space center in cape canaveral, florida, and behind me is artemus one and nasa's heavy duty space launch system or s l s. standing at almost 100 meters tall. it really is an impressive site to see and
9:37 pm
sitting a top of that s l s. rocket is the orion spacecraft. now we are about 5 and a half kilometers away from the actual launch pad as close as we can safely debt. now on this one is an entirely on manned mission, but it does represent the debut launch of nasa's optimist program, which seeks to return american astronauts to the moon for the 1st time since in 1972. now on this one will also be a critical test of both the s l s rocket and the ryan spacecraft, setting the stage for future artemus missions or miss to will be a manned mission to orbit the moon. and setting the state for artemus 3, which is where nasa seeks to put the 1st woman on the lunar surface, as well as the 1st person of color. now we understand that more than 100000 people are expected to attend this launch. all of them collectively holding their breath, crossing their fingers for a successful launch on monday. neo and right is a space janice, he says not as more mission is about both science and maintaining american power in
9:38 pm
space. 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. and that's what these astronauts would be going after. the water at the south pole of the moon. when the americans obviously beat the russians to the mood. there's no question about that. and they've demonstrated an absolute dominance in the space arena ever since, really. and however, we've seen china moved very rapidly in recent years to develop its own programs.
9:39 pm
