exceptionally ferocious washing away roads, destroying bridges, and damaging hundreds of thousands of homes. this is the moment a hotel collapses into the flood waters. another angle says people fleeing and panic, thousands of people are in need of immediate help. the government has been delivering 8 parcels to those have been cut off and promised financial aid to affected families. but it's a mammoth task. some 30000000 people a set to be affected. ah, if if the flood of 2010 was one of the biggest in our history, but i feel that this flood has caused even greater havoc. ha! there is extreme devastation all around. also more than 900 people are dead, that it will grant this is the scene and will rural baluchistan. villages here, living and makeshift tense,

others sleep under the open sky along with the animals thumb would yarmouth of the hands are a biggest need? yes, we have a shortage of food items too, but tense are the top priority return. the united nation says allocated 3000000 jo. west all is 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 need it. a small town and eastern ukraine is bearing victims of the independence day attack by russian forces. at least 25 people, including 2 children, were killed by rocket strikes in shap, lena r corresponded. young philips short travelled there for the funeral of one of the children. ah motley would have had his 1st day of school next week in peaceful times. the 6 year old boy will not live to see this day anymore. the whole neighbourhood came to say good bye. ah amador o him,

he was the most precious thing in my life. no, it's all so incredibly sad. for my daughter, there's nothing left. she doesn't even have a home any more. much be was a quiet boy. his grandmother says his home was directly across the street from the towns train station. the family was just getting ready for dinner. when russian rocket started to strike the neighbourhood much, we was playing in the living room when the shelling started. and then he ran over to the kitchen where some other family members were. and that's when the rocketed and killed the little boy. immediately. russia claimed responsibility for the attack, the military said it wanted to destroy a train that was supposedly carrying ukrainian soldiers, and they apparently considered the death of motley and many others as acceptable collateral damage for their operation. it's the worst tragedy that has ever

happened in the small town of trip. lina, them may, i tell, says, but it brought the community to get out of what he, that the parents of the dead children have gone through an incredible amount of stress. we know it's very hard for them to go on with life, but least we try everything possible to support them a little hit, the vomiting again. he sites madly. an 11 year old boy from the same neighbourhood died in the attack. the war has already cost the lives of more than $1000.00 children. and the 2 boys from shep lena probably won't be the last ukraine's energy operators warning. there's a risk of radio out of leaks at this apparition, nuclear power station. the agency says repeated russian shelling has damaged the plant, but moscow has accused ukraine of bombarding the facility which it took over in march. the power station at was temper either temporarily knocked off the grid this week causing regional blackouts. the u. n's nuclear watchdog is hoping to send in

inspectors and d, w, correspond mathias billing or is in a key force, the tears, russia and ukraine, again accusing each other of shelling around zapper asia nuclear power plant. who should we believed you think? it's a tough question. you're asking there, we don't have evidence for any of the versions. we can not for sure say what happened there. the only thing we can say is that shelling has happened there. now whom should we believe it's a good question because we have to her size that to communicate very differently. we have russia that has a track record of misinformation. the systematic lies and misinformation ukraine doesn't have that track record. but we can also assume that there might not disclose everything. so we shouldn't believe anything at face value that either of the side se, but we should of course, take this information with the background to that i've just mentioned. and just to

get to the people in the region and how their lives are affected. imagine a, a nuclear catastrophe. taking place. authorities are already distributing iodine tablets to residents near the plant, which i guess helps deal with radioactive and, you know, infection. how dangerous is the situation really? unfortunately, we have to assume it's very dangerous. again, we lack reliable information, but what we're hearing from the plan through channels here in ukraine, that means that people who work there or who are at on site communicate with the authorities here on the ukrainian side. what we get from the ukrainian energy authority points to very chaotic situations at this plant, or we know that a lot of russian or military equipment is stationed there, that russia has used this plan as

a shield to fire from there on ukrainian positions. and that's of course, a very dangerous situation. um, we would need somebody to go there and to check what the situation is on the ground . somebody from, for example, the international energy authority, atomic energy authority, emission that has been planned, that would give us more clarity on how dangerous the situation really is. for now, we have to assume it's critical. and just let me jump in with a quick final question that trip you're talking about by the i. e is being planned . but is it likely to take place? what are the prospects of both sides agreeing to letting inspectors in the i e at the i. e, a, e, i, i, 8th, has said that they are planning to go next week. they're hoping that they can go next week. in principle, the drink trip has been agreed upon. but i'm,

at the moment, we don't really know what the situation is. russia has said that that because of the shelling that they attribute to the ukrainians, the security situation would not allow them. ukraine is accusing russia of delaying the trip because they have something to hide. and in that situation, we don't really know whether it's going to happen the authority, the international atomic energy authority is saying that they're ready to go. okay, d, w spent his billing or in key thanks for that. energy analysts say russia is destroying natural gas stocks and could have gone to europe. they claim massive burn offset a plant near the finish border with 10000000 euros worth of fuel every day. local residents report feeling the warmth from the large flares. 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 russian gas terminal located in port to via bay near the finished russian border. the north $31.00 gas pipeline to germany, starts in port to via and a new ellen g plant has been built at the site. satellite data collected by a norwegian energy consultancy suggests that the so called flaring of gases taking place here at unusual levels. and we observed that russia has been wearing ever since july 11th of mid july. which coincides with the maintenance that occurred or began on our streamline. 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 class, but both economically and environmentally. and there's a loss associated with wearing, obviously, because you're burning 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 it's, it's minimized wiring over the years. but i would say it's if, 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 port to via facility. the u has accused russia using gas is a weapon to fight back against sanctions imposed over the war in ukraine. let's take

a look now at some of the other stores making headlines. at least 12 people were killed. his rival groups exchanged gunfire in libyan capital, tripoli, tensions between 2 organisations, funding for control of libya have been rising for months. there are fears they could escalate into an all out nationwide conflict. the nation that the netherlands rather is moving hundreds of asylum seekers from a makeshift camp inspectors have condemned the site near the german border as a health hazard. the agency doctors without borders says conditions are so inhumane . they violate you law. the party that has ruled at the west african nation of angola for nearly half a century is claiming victory in a closely fought election. officials say the m p a lay 151 percent of the vote. the opposition are disputing the count, a low voter turnout and accusations of fraud marred the pole d w a to increase reports from the angolan capital. luanda is

the biggest one, started their own vote count saying, according to their numbers, they have won. the opposition is now calling for an independent body to see why there's a difference in numbers of both different vote counting processes. let's check out some sports stories, making headlines. now. the americans printer, la hobbs, has ended jamaican tract dominance of the diamond league meet in switzerland. hobbs one the women's 100 meters sprint in 10.87 seconds. she becomes the only 2nd non jamaican woman to win the women's 100 meters title. in the diamond league this year. and in tennis, us opened defending champion emma regina, who says she feels no pressure in the run up to terminate. the 19 year old became the 1st qualifier to win a grand slam. however, radu county has yet to win this year. the british player, seated 11th, will take on france is at least call net, in the opening round on tuesday. finally,
