11:03 pm
was torrential rains from the sky. and like in the past were overtime the water would recede, the water is still here and it's been weeks so they don't know when they will be able to go back to their homes. they tell me this is the worst kind of limbo. these provinces has seen the worst instruction for the eight into communities has been slow, authorities say they have limited resources. it's become clear to everyone that the impact of these floods will be faced for months. but before communities can even think about the aftermath, many people are left wondering how they will survive until the end of the day. the floods have taken lives and for the survivors depending on farming and livestock, livelihoods are now severely at risk. as we were hearing, rescue teams are struggling to reach communities cut off by the floods. 0ur correspondent farhat javed has reached one village where people
11:04 pm
are waiting for help. this moan soon is facing unprecedented flood. i'm here and this is a bridge which had been collapsed by a flash flood a few days ago. since then the village on the other side of the bridge is totally cut off from the rest of the community here. we have seen people waiting on the side with their belongings to go to that side but they can't go because they are still waiting for at this bridge to be rebuilt or some other route to be developed for them. these people are waiting for help and assistance. they are given paying messages for that when we reached their they through this piece of paper with some stones and they wanted to give us a message. in this letter they have written about the losses they have written about the losses they have face, about the roads and bridges and the wake which was swept away by this ruling water two days ago. and about the death tolls two people from this village it died for that one body has not been
11:05 pm
recovered. this flood alone took more than one dozen lives without there is still a flood warning here in this valley. administration have told us that they are warning people, especially those who are living need the bank of the river and also tours from the hotel which are built right on the bank of the river. the situation is even worse in other parts of the country. these raids and flash floods are wreaking havoc. more than 1000 people have died so farand havoc. more than 1000 people have died so far and tens of thousands are displaced and waiting for assistance. also, the government has intensified the release and the same time the government is friendly country and donors to help the country and donors to help the country in these difficult times. salman sufi is the head of the prime minister's strategic reforms in pakistan's interior ministry. he says though the government is doing all it could, the enormity of the devastation demands huge international aid and assistance.
11:06 pm
the prime minister has been very aggressively working on a four prong approach which is communication, restoration, food and shelter. then we have rehabilitation. a fund has been established and international countries like uk, us and uae have already pledged some support but we need way more than that. especially in the forms of shelters, in the form of made—up homes like the ones that can be billed automatically. especially the tense which can be provided to the people who are affected. as you see in yourself, especially in the provinces, been around 2 million acres of cultivated area that has been wiped out. it's all 522% over a monsoon which has been unprecedented sense decades. so pakistan is providing 100% support right now. we have actually cut funding from a lot of development
11:07 pm
projects to re—route it on prime ministers direction to the affected people. it'sjust ministers direction to the affected people. it's just the start and it's just the tip of the iceberg and we will certainly need assistance of international community. we are actually doing a flash, a message of urgent help with united nation that's going to out on the 30th. we will request everyone to please contribute and participate to help us rebuild these lies. dutch police say three people have been killed when a truck crashed intro a street party not far from the port of rotterdam. it's understood the truck veered off the road and rolled into a neighbourhood barbecue at new by—erlant, barbecue at new byerlant, south of rotterdam. the total number of casualties is unclear, because some of the victims are believed to be trapped under truck.

11:12 pm
response by the international community. last time we saw a war like this was in 2019 when antonio guterres, the us chief —— un chief came for instead a reconciliation competency was greeted by a missile fire. he tweeted his response to libya and into a war which lasted almost two years for that would back in the same decision again of the international community is still tweeting about this war when they should be making phone calls at the highest levels and trying to sanction the individuals responsible for this war who are also responsible for the last war. here in the uk, the government says middle income earners, as well as the poorest, will need help to pay energy bills this winter. this comes as the energy crisis in europe driven by russia's war in ukraine deepens. on friday, britain's energy regulator announced that a typical household bill would increase more than eighty percent from october. here's marc ashdown.

11:19 pm
identity cards. this follows many days of negotiations mediated by the european union they've been trying to find the solution to two different problems here, really. 0ne different problems here, really. one is the use of national identity cards when crossing what kosovo continues to be its national border. and what serbia considers a an administrative border between two parts of serbia. we've seen here what amounts to quite a concession by serbia. it's about saying cards issued by the authorities can be used to cross these border lies. in return kosovo will institute a regime of not recognising servient issued identity cards. but the other big problem still remains and involves vehicle licence plates. we saw a couple weeks ago people in north kosovo, the majority of people are ethnic serb erected blockades on the road because they don't want to have to surrender their servient
11:20 pm
issued vehicle licence plates. and they still have a deadline of the 1st of september for them to do so. pope francis has created twenty new cardinals in a ceremony at the vatican. the group represents the catholic church from across the world, including the first ever cardinal from east timor. many come from the southern hemisphere, where 80 per cent of catholics live. all cardinals under the age of 80 can choose a new pope — and with his latest creations, eighty—five year old pope francis will have appointed almost two—thirds of those eligible to vote for his successor. the reverend thomas reese is a senior anaylst at religion news service in washington dc — he explains what's unique about this group. this is pretty much a normal number of cardinals to be created by the pope. what's unusual here is pope francis has been picking people to be cardinals who are from places
11:21 pm
that have never had cardinals before. and has been ignoring cases that have traditionally had cardinals. for example, dennis doesn't have a cardinal now. milan doesn't have a cardinal now. milan does not have a cardinal. they've always had cardinals in the past. then he goes to mongolia and mesa 48 bishop a cardinal. he goes to what he calls the margins. and bishops that are serving people at the margins and those are the people that he chooses to be cardinals. the algerian and french presidents have signed a joint declaration in algiers calling for a "new irreversible dynamic" in bilateral relations, sixty years after the end of the algerian war of independence. ties with algeria have become more important for france because the war in ukraine has increased demand in europe for north african gas. protests have been held across india against the government's decision
11:22 pm
to free eleven men who had been jailed for life for the gang rape of a muslim woman. fourteen members of her family were also killed during the religious riots in gujarat state in 2002. men and women held placards and shouted slogans urging the government to reverse the decision to release the rapists. separately, more than a hundred retired civil servants have written to the chiefjustice of india, saying their release would have a chilling impact on the safety of all women. the us state department has announced that president biden is planning to appoint an ambassador to the arctic region. the move comes as russia increases its military activity in the arctic, with the secretary general of nato warning of the threat posed by moscow in the region, and raising concerns about china's reach there too. professor katerina zysk told me more from the norwegian institute for defence studies in oslo: high think that in general they are
11:23 pm
sending a signal that the arctic has become is strategically important to the united states into the world. we are basically witnessing the fifth ocean opening on the top of the world. once the ocean is open it will be used. the united states, especially us department of state have been criticised in the past for not having prioritise the region strongly enough. and the us was actually only arctic country that had not ambassador level official relegated to arctic policy. so it seems now that there is no need now in washington to make a case that the arctic is of strategic importance. so the us is also raising the level of importance on the ambassador at a diplomatic level. ., . , , ., level. how much interest been from russia and china? _ level. how much interest been from russia and china? enormous - level. how much interest been from l russia and china? enormous interest, in fact. for prussia, _ russia and china? enormous interest, in fact. for prussia, russia _ russia and china? enormous interest, in fact. for prussia, russia has - russia and china? enormous interest, in fact. for prussia, russia has had i in fact. for prussia, russia has had in fact. for prussia, russia has had in ambition to become the dominating arctic nation and they have actually

11:27 pm
we will see one or two showers developing into the afternoon but they will be the exception rather than the rule. brightening up a little bit across southern parts of scotland, staying cloudy in the north, 16 stornoway, 23 degrees in london. through the late afternoon though could see a little bit of rain developing across parts of northern ireland. that could well expand across the irish sea across parts of north—west england, south—west scotland as we go through the night. a fair amount of cloud also streaming into north—eastern parts and the breeze will be picking up. that will hold the temperatures up in double digits for many of us and that brisk breeze will be a big feature of the weather for monday, a bank holiday for england, wales, northern ireland, not for scotland. with high pressure to the north of us we will see brisk north—easterly winds making it feel rather cool and certainly keeping things rather cloudy for some eastern parts. the best of the sunshine and the highest of the temperatures will be further west where you get some shelter from that breeze. despite some rather windy conditions in the south—west of england, temperatures here could get to 25 degrees. lots of sunshine to come here, also decent amounts of sunshine
11:28 pm
for wales, parts of northern ireland. further east we will see more in the way of cloud, could be one or two afternoon showers but there is confirmation of that fairly brisk breeze and some low temperatures across northern and eastern parts. 15 for aberdeen, 25 degrees in cardiff. as we look further ahead, high pressure will remain with us for a good part of the coming week but we will see one low to the south. that could introduce some showers and by the end of the week, chances are that the frontal system from the west will introduce outbreaks of rain. so there is the increasing chance of rain as we get towards the end of the week and after a rather cool couple of days for some, temperatures will climb a little.
