from the ruins of mosul, music as re emerged. these are some of 40 musicians who make up the water orchestra in iraq, 2nd largest city. despite being banned, when mosul was occupied by isolate the melodies, arrived. 3rd christian curd, arab so needs and she has these young men and women represent the diversity of iraq to be able to hear music. i'm in the ruins of muscles. all city feel strange, but it brings home the resilience of residents who say that despite the destruction and lack of help, they remain committed to bringing the city back to life. oh, this is al jazeera ah, for that one carry johnston. this is the news. our live from coming up in the next

60 minutes. the last leader of the former soviet union mikhail gorbachev is laid to rest in moscow. hundreds of thousands rally and argentina to support democracy after an assassination attempt against the vice president. a countdown has begun for another attempt by nasa to send its giant rocket optimists to the moon's orbit. and millions of people in that southern pakistan are desperate for help, more floods expected in the region and is full. serena williams has played what looked set to be the final match of her career, one of tennessee school, san grayson, bowing out at a home grand slam with is just after 15 on the g m t. we start in so where the lost lead of the former

soviet union has been buried in moscow. cal gorbachev died on tuesday at the age of 91. he was interred during a ceremony held at the nova defeat sheets cemetery next to his linked wife. isn't vladimir putin did not attend? auto 0 as they are haughty as the store. thousands have lined the streets of moscow to bid farewell to the last leader of the soviet union. mikhail gorbachev was credited with changing the course of the 20th century by indians. the cold war president vladimir putin has paid his respects, but is not attending the funeral. other western leaders are not attending either. the kremlin has been so far, quite respectful of, of li issues because garbage was not received of the strong leader and fujen wants to an appears to be and, and, and betrays himself as a strong leader. ah,

forgot about your gorbachev was often respected and revered. more in the west than at home in russia. renewal this when did you just kind of stuff that a warner one more that highlighted in this television advert from the 1990. i got about you all out unfortunately. what about you did lot may garage about the west because the west didn't want that to happen. war but you're certainly wanted it to happen. he went on to win a nobel peace prize after signing a disarmament treaty with us president ronald reagan. removing a host of nuclear weapons, joe biden sided this achievement in his tribute, saying the result was a safer world and greater freedom for millions of people. the treaty was the beginning of the end of the cold war, one state after another broke away from the soviet union. and it wasn't long before the berlin wall felt really cool against him. later came a failed coo,

by hard liners in moscow. the soviet union itself was dissolved, and gorbachev resigned and can yet now more than 30 years later, with russia's invasion of ukraine, comes the danger of a new cold war, sullen, awful slumps, devil to ship president putin, russia hundreds, president to digging new trenches in europe and have started a horrible war in ukraine. it's now we think, can mikhail gorbachev and realized what he did for our country and all of europe. ah, gorbachev died at the age of 91 in a moscow hospital after 2 years of serious illness. and while he was hailed as a man of peace, he has left at a time of war. leah harding al jazeera. well toby got, he joins us now from washington, d. c. she was a former special assistant to the u. s. president on russia during the clinton administration and a former star for the us national security council. welcome to the program. so is

it fair to say that the population of the soviet union were initially supportive of the changes that gorbachev introduced? absolutely, they were supportive and they, they knew that the soviet system wasn't working on the leadership, just had refused to acknowledge that. so they were supportive of the changes they were able to travel. they were able to read books. they were on i, i'm able to know their own history. but what gorbachev couldn't do is he couldn't deliver and he didn't have enough time to deliver because the main problems came under president yeltsin when people were really destitute, the economy didn't work. and of course luck always plays a role here. the price of oil was very, very low. contrast to today under president. and what is fatima putins view of gorbachev legacy? do you think?

well, i don't think he is. i'm going to acknowledge that the changes, garbage i've made were positive ones opening up the system and talking about the past, trying to rain in the police, the military. i saying that the communist system was a terrible system. ah, all this is not anything that bad couldn't, would say, and he's trying to in effect, re rewrite history og garbage. i've tried to change it in one direction, and putin has had now 20 years more to change it in other direction. and he is undoing and hasn't done most of the changes i gorbachev's i wanted. the real tragedy is that the russian population also sees gorbachev as a weak leader and what they want as a strong leader and they want to strong russia. and the question is, can couldn't make the changes and make the russian people pay the price that will be required to make russia respected or feared depending on what putin wants to

do and talking of character. i understand you met mikhail gorbachev several times. how did the strike, he was a person very talk. it is. i was surprised. he had a strong ukrainian accent. he is half ukrainian and he was willing to talk about anything but took umbrage and some of my questions, like, why didn't you start to reform with agriculture? like the chinese did. and he kind of talked about his experience. iraq, agriculture had been destroyed in ukraine. he knew that from his own family's experience. and so we had a lot of discussions about the history of russia and what could be done. and he was an elder statesman. by that time he knew that he had no political power, but he would occasionally make public statements. and he did a lot of good in founding the newspaper novia gazette, and actually giving his money from the nobel prize in order to find that newspaper,

ironically, or a terribly bad newspaper has been closed just recently by vladimir ok, we're going to leave it that heavy death in washington, d. c. thank you very much indeed for your help that now some breaking news for you and that says team has recommended a no go for launch to the director of optimist one moon mission, just hours before it was expected to blast off from the kennedy space center. in florida. well, these are live pictures of the nasa rocket on its launch pad launch was cancelled last week due to engine problems. well, i am, fisher joins us live now from the kennedy space center in florida. and what do you make of this? well, we should know in

a very short order of time whether or not this launch is going to go ahead. they've been having problems over the last few hours to get the rocket off the ground. you've got to make liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen liquid oxygen. there's been no problem filling the tags. there has been a leak as they fill liquid hydrogen that has to try to fix it. they've tried at least 3 different fixes and no the team there has recommended to the launch director that the scrap this for today till they try and get to the bottom. a particularly as the launch window is approaching this only less than 3 hours away now. and so the launch director is decided to take that advice and then we'll make a decision very shortly. be a big disappointment to the thousands of people that have gathered here on the space coast in florida, hoping to see this mission, which of course would be the 1st step in taking humans back on to the moon. the 2 other missions after this before that actually happened, but people here were hoping that they would see a min launch. it looks as if, because of this slight problem, it's not going to happen. of course,

the big question is, then, when can it be done? know if this can be fixed quite easily. obviously more easily than doing it. what is that the moment then they would hope to be able to get the rocket up into the, in a long twin to that they've got on monday. the might have to make the vision that essentially the rocha has to be wheeled back into the workshop. and that could well delete everything until mid september. but things should become clean in the next hopefully, 1015 minutes. certainly we expect to get some sort of clarification within the next hour and how much of a set would this be for nasa if indeed they have to wait til september? well, look, had problems all the way along. this has been delayed to a corporate delayed. the whole process of building the units that they needed. and then there were other issues that run massively over budget. would it be a problem?

it would be a slight glitch, but i think overall nasa, the administrators are looking at the big picture about how important this mission is. how important is to establish a base on the moon. we talked to miss 3 would do sometime. they think around 2025 at the come time scale. what to be followed. so it would be a glitch. it would not be a welcome glitch, but there's absolutely no way they would approve a launch when they're not 100 percent certain that everything will go smoothly. so hopefully we'll get some sort of clarification as a say in the next hour, but it's not looking good for the they've tried a couple of solutions to fix this leak. it's on the side rather than the insight. plenty didn't want to move to plan be. they then tried plan, see someone who's the space center said plenty was essentially plenty, slightly modified. that clearly has what, which is why they're saying, look, the launch today might not be a good idea. and they can take 48 hours and have another go with it. and how bad

does it look for an asset image wise that if it doesn't actually happened yet? oh yeah, well, i think people understand that that can be glitches with these things. you're talking about massive rockets, there are so many system that have to go. exactly right. and everyone remembers the disaster of the challenges space shuttle. no one is going to take any sort of risk if there is anything that could possibly cause a problem. nasa would much rather say luke, but wait another day and go again rather than do something that could really set the whole program back by a significant amount of time. so it's really just a case of working through the process, finding out what the problem is. the people that nasa really smart people like really super smart. so if there is a problem there, they should be able to find a solution. it's just whether or not they will be able to what does that solution

within 48 hours or we need something more significant, something more substantial and take the rocket back and essentially pull apart the part that needs to be looked at and get it all done from scratch and then look again at a much later law and all of that we're hoping will become clear very soon. indeed we'll for now. and fisher. thanks very much for that update. well, going to the moon is about more than just exploration. it's part of new international space race to exploits, new new resources. the focus is on the us right now, but other countries are investing in their own mission. russia has announced plans to withdraw from the international space station to focus on its own interest goals and includes putting humans on the moon by 2026. china is targeting at 2030 to put people on the moon. it's also planning to build the very 1st lunar base in collaboration with russia by 2035. an india has already sent 2

unmanned emissions to the moon and it's open to send a 3rd landa. next year. the united are america switch, opened its space agency 8 years ago, tons to send a probe as early as november of of us is a former nasa scientist who worked on the scientific exploration of the moon and the planning of the apollo program. he joins us from washington, d. c. what will 1st of all, what do you make of this situation with the arsonist? this is perfectly normal. the then that's engineers. that's cape canaveral for launch would not allow anything to, to occur or to continue. if there is a potential problem, so this is, this is very good for them to make absolutely certain that the, the rocket is in perfect condition. and to now the launch on time. all we now in a new space race, those you think, yes or indeed we are in

a sense that china is now entering in a big way. china has been thinking about it for a while, but has not really entered in into the space program in a big way. the soviet union was restorative. junior, was the leader, remember? 1957 and in november 1957 rush. i said the very 1st that light into earth orbit towards cause the sputnik and so rush i was leading and then the america led by through the program. and now china as entering the scheme and actually more china wants to say, we are as good as anybody else, if not a little better, because they want to land on the far side of the board and they want to do all kinds of other other things so china is entering that space, graham and be great. i understand that you worked on the pilot program all those years ago. i mean, do you still feel that sense of excitement now?

indeed, because we were working on the, on the program and all of the engineers were working very vigorously and the very best cry at the time was go do this thing. i do it way. i'm do it fast. you want the risks to meet us so that way the engineers talk me to go and do this thing and do it to absolutely the best possible way of doing it because you're on one direction to read it. so that was the competition going and detached the program. and now that will be another competitor, try that, which is good. this is i think, invitation is very good in this case. and master is talking about a future base on the moon to prepare for missions to mars even. is that feasible or to fan fiction? or no, it's feasible, quite feasible. ok, because we've already chose to the word that it is possible to lend humans to walk on some planetary buddy like the moon and to get back without no problems.

they can sustain that at the ation from the sun and all of these other things. and the, it is possible to, to think about long term missions to the planets like mar, so i do think it's coming some day and with this ultimate mission, what kinds of experiments will they be looking at, people say, or might say, does this benefit us on that yes, there will bring sampling and the rink water sample. and that is very important to say that there is water. plenty of everybody like the moon, and therefore there may be water on mars. and therefore, we would not be, we would not have to transfer water to any group of humans that what is the driver's there to do this plan if everybody. so the availability of water is something that is new and it's something that would provide additional impetus to

go further than the moon. and what about the cost of all this though? is it was it? the cost is not really for the piece mission. the cost is for developing all kinds of new technologies. the reason that i'm talking to you and you could see me in my picture, and i see your picture and people everywhere and the word or pictures in south america of north america or, and china. get dick and see. yes. and can you, does that did not come from somewhere. and somebody's in mind that came from spending money for the apollo program so that we would be able to see that or not, or to be able to direct them. that was to be able to see if there is a problem there. so all of the technology said to develop for that apollo mission to the board is now in the computer business. because the computer's been says the 1st computer was a computer to, to be created on the machine so that they can actually

verify their position, looking at stars. so then to make the calculation, which is very tough. conclusion. now all of these credit credentials can be done on a computer that you can carry in your hand. all of this came from the apollo exploration of the move, or the results of the experiments for the mission. so whatever is being spent on the potential missions thought of old and to mars is beneficial for all human beings and earth because it provides the technology that we can use like computers like that imaging. that is the picture that you see today. the picture of the thing you can see at the word of that came from the producer target battery is very much appreciate your time. thank you very much for joining us. thank you. baltimore, a heads on these are including, would take a closer look at how united europe is in the face of an energy crisis and run away

inflation and in sport middle coons at the low pass start, the new terminal exists and continues and his hair with ah, no russian back officials in southern ukraine say that europe's largest nuclear power station was knocked off 9 by sharing on saturday. the reports that an electricity line inside the plant has been damaged. come just after the visit of the head of that you ends nuclear watchdog to the facility gabriel is on there, joins us live now from cave. so we're gabled. what's the latest you can tell us about the fighting going on in the area outside of that there is definitely fighting, of course, and there is, of course, a lot of people are focusing on this ukranian counter offensive in the south,

not too far for this apparition not too far from this operation nuclear power plant in on region. it's clear at this point that this counter offensive is going to be very slow and methodical. it is not going to be a quick endeavor by any stretch of the imagination, but it is going on. and there is certainly fighting there down in the south in the nikolai, as we've heard from official there, they're saying an 8 year old child was killed during some back and forth shelling, nickel live as a city in the south, completely controlled by the ukrainians. and while the focus is on the south, it's important to point out that the front lines of this war stretch all the way to the east and then up to the north as well. and there are still fierce fighting happening there as well. and don't ask, for example, just within the last 24 hours we're hearing from you crane in officials. they're saying that 2 dead and 3 injured. these are civilians due to fighting. again,

i'm stressing the civilians because well many soldiers on. ready both sides are clearly losing their lives. it's the civilians as well. that are often times in war as we know bear the brunt of the casualties and then also in the north of ukraine, the 2nd biggest city, how to keys, ukrainian official. they're saying that 6 civilians were hospitalized in the last 24 hours. they're due to russian shelling again that's from ukrainian officials, very hard to independently verify some of these numbers or what kind of shelling is taking place. but clearly it's a picture of an offensive very much in the south, a focus in the south and in and around as upper egypt power plant, but also continued fighting in the east and even partially in the north, in the 2nd largest city and ukraine and hockey and what does this all mean then given what you say for the safety of this operation?

well focusing on that, it's very difficult. and the safety of that plant is very tenuous, quite frankly. the good news is, is that there are i e, a inspectors that are still there right now. and they plan to stay there permanently, at least 2 of them that were told. so we're going to have to see in the coming hours, days and weeks how this all transpires, you know, but we believe that, you know, this is very much on the front lines. and so, and the safety of the power plant is paramount. and it's not so much the fact of could a shell hit the power plant and release a nuclear reaction? the power plants are pretty well fortified. of course, that could happen, but they are very well fortified. the bigger issue, according to what i fail grossi, the head of the i. e. a that just visited the plant 48 hours ago. he says he's

worried about power cuts at the plant because without power, they're not able to continue to cool the reactors. and if you don't keep those reactors cooled and at a certain temperature, that's what could lead to a catastrophic failure. so there's a whole host of issues there. but as one person said, you know, nuclear power plants were not made to be on the front lines or war. that's a worst case scenario, but they are exactly in that position right now. ok live for us in kids that gabriel elizondo. thank you very much indeed. well, some breaking news now. nasa has officially announced the scrubbing of optimist moon rocket launch for saturday. the national officials announced that just a few moments ago were getting used here at al jazeera were going to go over to our

correspond allen fisher, who is in florida, the loan site there. so we've got this official news now. well, what can you say about that? well it's usually disappointing, obviously for nasa, but they weren't going to take any chances a toll the problem surface when they started putting in liquid hydrogen and to one of the tanks. if to get the rock off the ground, you've got to make liquid oxygen and looks with hydrogen. there was a leak with the hydrogen feed, and they tried to fix it and fight. they tried 3 different things to fix it and it didn't what. and so those involved in that process went to the launch director and said, look, i think we're going to have to scrap this today. she took that on board, said she would make a decision. evidently, we were talking about it just 10 minutes ago. that decision has no been made and there will be no launch of optimists on saturday. no, the question is, when will it go into the, the is some sort of restriction for nasa that they can try launches 2 days back to

back. there's got to be a break, so monday would be the earliest when there isn't appropriate weather window, possibly choose the as well, but they have to look at the data they're getting back to see if this is a problem that can be relatively easily fixed in the next 48 hours to give to go ahead to launch in monday or tuesday, or whether it need something more significant, which would delay the whole process to the middle of september. so that should become clear. and the next couple of hours is the really smart people at nasa start to process all the information. they've got know, thousands of people came out to watch the launch, the all pointing in the direction of where the rocket will take off. you can see them stretched along the beach for as far as i can see, they obviously will be disappointed but, and she got to be disappointed. it's fair to be disappointed in a day. you can still have at the beach and enjoy the good weather rather than be sitting in the rain and then find out after several hours. there is no going to happen. so big disappointment. the launch of optimists for saturday has been scrubbed and we wait to find out whether or not nasa intends to try again in the

next couple of days. and as we understand that the official countdown clock has stopped. so was this in any way expected the made seems to been dogged by problems . well obviously no one expected they hoped to get the, the rocket off the launch pad in the next 3 hours or so they had a window, they had a plan and they were going to push ahead with it. that was an issue. and monday, when they tried to launch, again, they thought it was a feeling problem, but it comes, it was just a faulty gauge and everything then actually went ahead, but it shows just how careful nasa is that if there is a problem that go to stop the process check the problem, see if it can be fixed. see how it impacts the rocket. see whether or not that we compromise the safety of the rocket and eventually the astronauts that will take off into space. and if you don't take all those boxes and not everything is okay,

then at some point the launch director has got to make that difficult decision to say, well not today, but it's always the a to make the decision to say not today. let's keep people safe. let's keep the equipment safe rather than make the decision and lose it. because the something just didn't what? there was a failure. of course we can talk about not being haunted by the challenger disaster . no one wants to see that sort of thing again. so that is why through an abundance of caution. if there is a problem, they're more likely to say, yeah not today, we'll go again rather than push ahead with any sort of issue. and then a safety notwithstanding, how much of a set back is this for that image. why if nothing else well, image wise, probably not very much because people realize that sending a rocket to the moon is a pretty complex operation. and there's a lot of moving parts,

so they'll understand that they'll be glitches in the spring glitches all the way along. this whole process is 2017 when the plan was announced. is go over budget if taken longer than expected. but the plan still is that optimist. one will go in to space. hopefully, sometime this year there will be a lunar or, but they will do a lot of experiments. they will test a lot of systems. they will bring optimists back safely, the hope into the pacific ocean on america's west coast. after it's $42.00 d mission, there will be at some point next year, the hope optimists to which will have actual humans on board. and they will again, go further than a humans ever going in a rocket, but they will also do a lunar or but, and then optimists 3, which the hope will follow in 2025 will actually go to the moon land on the lunar surface. cutting the 1st person of color and the 1st woman, and they will do the basic work to establish a colony there with the intention that the moon base will become part of the effort

to send a mission to mars. at some point in the future, that will be mind obviously. and from there, who knows where they can go further into deep space. ok, so now alan fish for us live cape canaveral. thank you to the head here analysis era. sure. lang. because the former president got by roger pac service turned off, he fled, protest tray, good bond, economic crisis boards and onto their critics with a big win the championship. ah, ah, how i we got the usual lie, be showers cross northern part. so south america as that cold cloud there,

across northern areas of the amazon pushing up towards the caribbean. much of brazil is dry and fine. you can see this weather system here that is a cold fronts and that's been making its way further northwards and east, which it smooth for with sunshine temperatures here, down around 10 degrees on what we saw just a couple of days ago. it'll make his way towards rio that he to celsius saturday afternoon, 22 on sunday, so that cold front sweeps through, clear a fresher weather. coming back behind mister one or 2 showers, plenty of live, the shower of a tropical nature. further north and some pretty wet weather for the north. still we got some very heavy rain, lots to crowd around into good parts of central america. still some very wet weather there in to southern parts of mexico, towards guatemala on juror seeing some lavish out a notice tropical storm. oh, just to the north to the leeward islands. there it should stay away, but some a blustery conditions coming in here over the next couple of days with that system . not too far away from much of the car, been at sunshine and showers, plenty

a shower air, cassette, southeast and corner of the region. meanwhile, still some wet weather across solomon, eastern parts of the us, all making its way for the east. ah frank assessments, how much support is that that st. protests that we've seen in jail across the rest of the country. the treatment has been very good. that's happening into the co confound people across the country, informed opinions we will say more of what is happening is that climate change it to making them work in depth analysis of the days global headlines. druggie is credited by some way where they were storing italy's credibility this critics would say he couldn't play the part of a politician. what do you think went wrong inside story on al jazeera? i care about how the u. s. engages with the rest of the world. i cover foreign policy, national curity. this is very much a political impact here. the conflict. how do we illustrated, are we telling

a good story? will people get what we're trying to do here? they're living outside and make. this is not the way any family wants to raise their children. we're really interested in taking you into a place that you might not visit otherwise. and to actually feel as if you were there, lou. ah, watching out a 0 reminder about top store is now the south. the soviet union's. lastly that mikhail gorbachev has been buried in a ceremony. now that nobody cheap cemetery next to his late wife, president vladimir putin did not attempt russian back to officials in saga ukraine say that europe's largest nuclear power station was knocked off 9 by sharing on

saturday. that comes just after the visit or the head of the u. n. c. nuclear watchdog visited the facility. nasa has called the scrub on the launch of its artemus moon rocket for a 2nd time just hours before it was expected to blast off from the kennedy space center in florida is being postponed due to a hydrogen me hundreds of thousands of people in argentina have come out on the streets in defense of democracy. the protests are response to the attempted. assassination of vice president, christina fernandez. the curtain of a man pointed a loaded gun at point blank range on thursday night. but he didn't go off with that 1 o'clock here for joins us live now from one. as i raised monica was the main purpose of this congress. me to be hearing about well, congress is the house of representatives. people from the opposition and the

government parties as well as some foreign ambassadors, were invited to this session, where they will express unity against a political violence here in argentina and in favor of social peace. now, this has just been decided at the last minute because like half an hour ago, the opposition was wary about participating in this session. because they thought that the government was trying to lay the blame of he to hatred speech here in argentina on their doorstep on the opposition and also on ah, the just judicial system as well as the press. i mean a christina kitchener suffered this attempt against her life just as the country is facing, ah, very high inflation rate over 70 percent a year. a strong rejection for the government to almost 80 percent. and also she is

being investigated by justice ah, for fraud on corruption charges while she was president from 2007 to 2015. so she was like, saved at the last minute to from, ah, all these hearings that have been going on. and a lot of many accusations against her now people are expressing their sympathy and their outrage at the violence. america. what more do we know about the assignment? while the assailant apparently had a troubled childhood, he had saw a chilean father in archon time. mother, he was born in brazil lives. he has had moved here. ah, very, when was a child? he was a, his girlfriend and one of his friends came out to say that they all sold cotton candy ah, on the streets, og, that they were both his girlfriend and his friend were scared because they were

being attacked on social media as terrorists. and that they knew nothing about what, what went on and what were his motives, the assailant himself, ah, was the decline to testify yesterday. he's being charged with a murder, but he has said nothing so far. and the vice president, christina had none as the kitchen. it, she said she did not notice at the time that the attack happened that someone was pointing, a gun was distracted by the crowds that she was greeting. and she did notice how serious, ah, the attack could have been. okay, monica in our camp. thank you for that. the russians energy john guess from says it will not resume gas delivery through the, nor that stream one pipeline to germany. after 3 days shut down, the company says an oil leak was detected in repairs on needed. european commission

says the move is on the fallacious pretences and shows that russia is an unreliable supplier. gus from says it will now send that natural gas to europe through ukraine . as prompt decision came hours after g 7 nations agreed to set a price cap on russian oil in an effort to hurt moscow's war efforts in ukraine. will finance ministers from the world, which is economy is also hope a capital and crude oil and a trillion products will help reduce verbal energy prices. masha has responded though, saying it will stop selling oil to countries that agree to a price that you're paying economic commissioner hollow, jenny learning says they will not be threatened by pretends actions in the found bustle. hooting is taking another step towards cutting slides. it would be a violation of the contract. every one hopes that will not happen. if it happens, it is clear that there will be consequences. but it is also clear that we've been preparing for months with his recipe. so we must not underestimate us. but

certainly we are not going to be intimidated, but at cumberland joins us now. he's a professor of european studies at stanford university in billing. thanks for joining us here on the program. and do you think that politically, at least the western nations and the you will stick together over the ukraine? no matter what? well, that's the big question because it's in the d. n a of florida societies that you disagree basically on everything. and speaking one on boys as a consequence of the russian invasion to ukraine, is rather the exception and not the rule. and we have seen so many changes in governments and in the balance of power in the members states. and everyone has been affected differently. that it's quite unlikely that it will continue no matter what, but it is a positive surprise to see how well european countries have been prepared for the

shortage of energy. and russia turned out to be also reliable supply of energy. and they can be used in countries like finland and italy, in particular to a pretty good job in finding alternatives. will the leadership of you countries that would be able to withstand any possible protests over things like the cost of living? well that's of course the big question mark for the winter because we neither know what the weather will be like, hard to be and whether cats storage will be sufficient to survive a long winter. but we can also not predict what the social situation is, because again, i'm curious, societies left and right of position will criticize the government, whatever in their understanding is the wrong counter measure. and therefore, we will see social unrest and it doesn't depend on a specific threshold or

a number like only until 10 percent of things are fine and beyond phase social unrest, city usually doesn't take much and things can get out of control. and with that social situation, i mean, to what extent might populist movements try to hijack the situation as well? we will see already a situation of the upcoming and tell him elections in which a broad party coalition on the money would drive. he couldn't continue because the right wingers were also flirting with a better relationship with russia. these are more likely. ready to become the next government, although they don't openly say at the moment, but there are a lot of changes going on that's directly or indirectly have to do with fake news with propaganda, and triggering insecurity and everything that it needs to make people. question,

what the government does and do different countries cause the different challenges hungry, for example, what hungry is landlocked and therefore they cannot do the same thing as what germany or denmark, my sample that they increase their capacity and liquefied natural gas course. that is something you can do quickly, but if you're land locked and if you can see just even higher than in countries that have a large percentage for the industry like germany, then you have to find alternatives. and all on was always playing a different game, but he knows how would you handle your so it's on the european union. and so he will appear differently. and it's also understandable that not everything makes the same sense to implement the same measures in every single country. but there will also be political. ready instrumentality, station attempts, like in the case of hungary, well next bruckner,

we appreciate your time. thank you for having me. now, the head of pakistan's largest charities warning of the threats of famine off the recent monsoon range, destroyed crops and livestock. more than 1200 people are known to have died in the west flooding in decades. many are risk of waterborne diseases. the southern province of sin is bracing for even more study a member of the box cuz i can see a very big family moving very close very soon. they can see it for stages right now that people have going hungry for a week or even 10 days. let me tell you again that despite all efforts we haven't been able to reach 90 percent of people here. but this is a very alarming situation. efforts to get for millions of people have been displaced by the worst floods in the pocket stones. history among them are thousands of pregnant women with no access to the tunnel facilities. same as robbie has met some of them taking refuge in a vacant government building in the city of soccer. in same province,

a woman poised to bring new life into a world stricken by calamity. families weighed down by poverty so extreme. it is a burden carried from birth. no, i don't have anything, no money nor axes to adopt to nothing. i don't have any support. i could die. my baby could die. i don't have any money or a doctor. i don't have anything, nothing, no food drink, no medicine, not even a pill for the pain home either is do any time now and has been suffering for days . twin brothers are and must have. now, 10 days old came with the last wave of monsoon rains. their mother fled baluchistan province with them in her belly. but the floods followed their father is still their roads cut off and they have no way home. i'm on the line, but i have big hopes for them in my heart. but look at these kids, what conditions they ruined. sitting here hungry,

no bed lying here in the hate. she needs help. she says her children need help. ah, displaced by floods and seeking shelter. survivors occupied this government apartment complex in the city of supper. in every room, a story of survival and suffering. the city doesn't want them there and turned off power and water. it is hot and miserable. some tell us it feels like a prison. instead of receiving help, they say they've been accused of occupying this place illegally and are being forced back onto the district. we've been speaking to the families in, there's about 5000 people living in this block of government class has been displaced from their homes by the flood. they come from all over the province as well as bullets son province. and they're telling us if they don't want to stay here, they want to go back home, but they don't have any homes to go back to. this is no place for children,

but more are on the way. roxanna is 9 months pregnant. soon there will be another mouth to feed. when i ask her if she is worried, she smiles here alone. why would i be sad? she says children are a happiness, a blessing. she's optimistic, not every day will be the same and conditions will improve. but her smile fades back when her son asks for cold water. then basra, the old to 0 sucker sin focused on now should anchor's former president got a biologic packs that has returned to the country. after 2 months in self imposed exile, he was taken to a government bungalow on the heavy security after landing shortly before midnight on friday. financial reports from columbia. he fled, as president of lanka, would return on friday with nowhere to go. those are the raj bots,
