$3000000.00 us dollars to enable 8 agencies to respond to the floods in pakistan. but the government says a lot more was needed to get aid to all day so needed. i spoke to the ideal sheriffs of care international in pakistan and asked him about the scale of the crisis. oh, thank you so much. the situational bug sounded extremely dull for lake could the provinces are extremely lake and no suffering from this flood situation. the low to sign and send brawl into that hearted from this emergency, but recently lost one week. the cuvee here, rawlins and some parts of and java strictly the southern punjab cities are also created from this flood and div by the the situation is getting extreme new worse because more and more brains and flooding is coming. and it probably will still continue for another late dears to 2 weeks and situation you and when get worse in

coming did not monsoon rain or the region experiences manzona rain every year. what makes the situation so bad this time round? so you're right, like the focus on is on the one. so an area so, so gray and happen every year. but at the same time this year, these were having heavier than the expected rain, which happened every year in the season. which means that the outflow of the water, which comes on different river and different box is it came double or sometime even more than so specially communities who are living nearby to those water areas where the worst effect it when the outflow of the water became like alarming, and the water still continues in these areas. that's why like that is huge. do our station and climate to especially in below, just on and same as of now more than 33000000 people are affected across the

country. approximately 6400000 people are in dire need of support immediately. and people are literally living just under the roof because there's like, you know, a large need large population. right. and, and pakistan of course, has called for international help. now what exactly is needed? so d, a bill probably will be launch early next week by the government of august aren't which are we are also monitoring, but at the same time would be immediate need on ground or shelter. richard, traditional integration to which are required for the diesel. ah, food is another bigger need which is required in terms of late cooking items. they are required, or mosquito nodes and low stroke management including rec, seen and like stored services are required on, at the same time late. you know, the water borne diseases may come from this or else over to that also required,

but immediately life saving support in tons of shelter, food, cooking, item ministry, hygiene kids and other hygiene groups are required by the community. all right, thank you so much said he'll share as country director for k international reporting for us right now in pakistan. thank you. thank you so much. ukraine's energy operator is warning. there's a risk of radioactive leaks at the separation nuclear power station. the agency says repeated russian shelling has damage to the plant. moscow has accused ukraine of bombarding the facility which it took over in march. the power station was temporarily knocked off the grid this week, quoting region of blackouts. the u ends. nuclear watchdog is hoping to send in expected i asked hines as metal or for greenpeace, how he sees the stand or fed separation? well, it's a very complex and dangerous situation at this. so nuclear. busy power plants are

for several reasons. on one hand, of course, the armed conflict, nuclear reactors, are not designed for that. and it's not only about direct hits, that can break the confinement and to release a rug activity. it's also about the infrastructure, or we have to think that the nuclear power plant, even after shut down needs massively cooling 4 months should warm and so it needs energy and it needs create systems. and so the disconnection of to treat was also really worrying an air inspectors from the international atomic energy agency. say there are due to inspector the plant within days. so if they do get access to the plant, what does it actually mean for the situation? they are, what can they do? well, it's so of course very helpful if for an inspection, but in the short of agency would happen. but the gaps, perhaps it's falling short because it's in military area now. and we have learned

that in general, a nuclear power plant of the russian army was leaving. there has been traps and mines, trips and mines are. so perhaps it would need to military expert. and on the other hand, it's questionable how neutral a nuclear, the international atomic agency and agency is because it has very good relationships to russian ross at dorm. this is the world biggest manufacturer of nuclear power plants and the agency is supporting all this project. so only a demilitarization would help an inspection is just a small step. right, and that of course takes times or hind says metal, they're nuclear expert with green piece. joining us from hamburg, thank you so much for your assessment. you're welcome. energy analysts say that

russia is destroying natural gas stocks. they claim massive benefit plant near the finish russian border waste 10000000 euros with a fuel every day finish. residents have reported seeing large flyers and feeling much warmer conditions. the facility prepares russian gas for transport to germany, a valuable commodity, vanishing into sin air. while the rest of europe struggles with shortages of natural gas, russia seems to have too much of it. analysts have taken special interest in this by a norwegian energy consultancy suggests that the so called flaring of gas is taking place here at unusual levels. we observed that russia has been wearing ever since july 11th of mid july, which coincides with the maintenance that occurred or began on one. but interestingly, flaring actually continued despite the operations being resumed,

women are extreme one. back in late july. russia has reduced gas exports to europe, leaving it with a large surplus of gas. that could be one explanation for the burn off. experts said at western sanctions could also be to blame. they say flaring might be a sign of russia lacking the proper equipment to operate. the facility bearing does come at a cost for both economically and environmentally. there's a loss associated with wearing, obviously, because you're running off those valuable products that could otherwise be sold. so i would say flaring isn't, you know, it is only done if necessary. and that's why we've seen widespread, minimize wearing over the years. but i would say it's if russians doing this, it's possibly due to, you know, geo politics. but it could also very much be technical issues and possibly even safety issues from russian energy company gas problem has not commented on the

burning off of gas at the poor to buy a facility. the u has accused russia using gas as a weapon to fight back against sanctions imposed over the war in ukraine. let's take a look now at some of the stories making headlines. at least one person was killed as rival groups exchanged gunfire, and the libyan capital. tripoli, tensions between 2 organizations lying for control of libya have been rising for months, there appears it could escalate into an all out nationwide conflict. the netherlands is moving hundreds of asylum seekers from a makeshift camp inspectors have condemned to the site near the german border as a health hazard. the aid agency doctors without borders says conditions are so inhumane. they violate you law u. s. pharmaceutical firm madonna is suing rivals over alleged pattened infringements would earn a claims pfizer working with germany's by on take copied it's technology to produce

him after he lost of 2020 elections and he was keeping top secret documents owned by the federal government in his private residence, meaning an unauthorized location for this type of document. so under the presidential records act, removing official records of this kind may constitute a criminal offense the former president say the polity, the targeting him for political reasons. many people expect him to run again in 2024. but us authorities are concerned that his actions may have threatened national security cotton president joe biden is staying out of it. we feel that it is not appropriate for us to comment on this. this is an independent investigation that the department of justice is leading. that's something that the president finds is an important thing to do for the department of justice to have that independence letter. we are very hard so far. no formal
