ah, 3 years that would change the world forever. but jillions journey around the world starts september 7th on d, w. ah, this is d, w. news life in berlin. the death toll from flooding in pakistan has surpassed 1000 people, while months of relentless monsoon range have displaced thousands more. the government is blaming climate change, but critic shades down to poor planning and corruption,

also coming up ukraine's harvest is coming with no place to go. shipments of grain are being allowed out of the country, but the un warned it. millions of tons are still taking up storage needed for this year's crop. and pope francis arrives to lift the spirits on the christian sabbath at an italian town that still repairing the damage. 13 years after devastating earthquake, his visit comes on the heels of his appointment of a new group of cardinals. who could play a pivotal role in naming the next pontiff. ah, i'm michael ok. thanks for joining us. officials in pakistan say flash floods across much of the country, have killed over a 1000 people and displaced thousands more since mid june. weeks of unrelenting monsoon rains, have effected more than 30000000 people and have great vital infrastructure. a

national emergency is in force, they built a home with their own hands. now these 2 brothers are clearing up what remains of it. again mother, he got a good either the i built his house with a lot of heart work at the da da da. and there was all gone that he thought it was that is and there's flood water everywhere even that i yeah. data and there. so job for me like to buy that i will go, i'll have to ask the government for help rebuilding the house as aladdin though. otherwise, i have no hope of google mother that got in a good in one of the lives of our work day and night to build this home. i sacrificed my sweet for it. we took out a loan that we haven't yet paid off. the government is promising financial aid for the families forced to leave their homes. but it's a man to task. the authorities say more than 30000000 people are affected.

but with my neighbors, the children were swept away by the floods level with all suffered great losses. the waters 3 to 6 meters, high honor prime minister shabbos sheriff, inspected the damage in some of the worst. hit 8 rails, and dropped relief packages for people. yeah, his government is calling it the humanitarian disaster caused by climate change but opened and say corruption and poor planning have made a bad situation. worse. the un says millions of tons of grains still need to be cleared from ukrainian silos to make room for the new harvest shipments resumed through the black sea. earlier this month after deal brokered by turkey lifted a russian blockade. the flow of grain has helped ease food prices, but exports so far are down by half compared to the same period last year. t

w's mathias bellinger is in keith. i asked him earlier, why it's proving so difficult to get the grain out of ukraine. look, the deal for sees that ships that will say will sail into the ukrainian ports, get loaded and then leave the ports again and just before the war, they were like something like 5 ships per day. that's that we're leaving these 3 ports are plus they also ports they're not operating right now. like the port of mc life until now. this number, which is the target has not been reached because they were not enough ships ready to salen, not enough ships. we understand that and that on saturday, ukraine's cabinet approved new measures to make the process easier. what exactly did they decide? well, it's not exactly that they approve new measures to make the process easy. but there's the hope that the new measures they introduced will have an impact.

basically, they introduced new rules for men about band, from leaving the country since the beginning of the war due to a potential to be moved mobilization. so men between 18 and 60 cannot leave ukraine, and the government has approved new rules for the men who need to travel on visit for business purposes. and these include sailors. so the hope is that if ships have difficulty finding a crew to sailing, that ukrainian sailors would be more ready to sail in. but the problem is we also meet the ships and there's also the problem of insurance, which is of course, very costly because they're sailing into a war zone. now, despite all the guarantees, so it's a put met measure that could potentially ease, but it's probably not the solution to the problem that the company solution i suppose, not surprisingly, the war is expected to take its toll on ukraine's green harvest this year. how serious is the impact likely to be wow, look,

there's about russia is occupying now something like 20 percent of ukraine surface . so this is already territory that will not ha road that might be hollis, and they might be taken by russia, which is a problem in itself. but this will not be great. this game will not be in the ukrainian stocks. there is, are battles, there are fields, burning the have been accusations that russia was setting these fields on fire or purposely. now this is also not proven, but of course and our minds. so there, there are many fields where this year there won't be any harvest. d, w, 's, mathias, berlin, go in, keep many thanks, mathias. let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines at this hour. at least 23 people were killed as rival groups exchange gunfire in the libyan capital, tripoli. tensions between 2 organizations vying from control of libya have been

rising for months. there are fears they could escalate into an all out nationwide conflict. serbia and casa, though, have settled a dispute over the movement of citizens across their border. id holders from both sides will be able to travel freely between the 2, west balkan states, european union foreign policy chief. you accept burrell announced the deal in a tweet. thousands of people gathered in the northern german city of rostock to remember racist attacks that happened there 30 years ago. in 1992 crowds cheered as far right extremist attacked as center for asylum seekers and a hostile for vietnamese workers. it was the worst violence of its kind in post war germany. well, pope francis is in the central italian town of l'aquila on a closely watched visit. the pope started his trip meeting with families of victims

of the 2009 earthquake, which devastated the region and badly damaged many of luck. we'll as buildings at this hour, he celebrating mass at a pilgrimage church. the trip comes a day after francis appointed 20 new cardinals, many of whom may 1 day help choose his successor. for more, i'm joined now here in the studio by d. w. religious affairs correspondent martin gac martin can tell us more about why pope francis is in la colette today. and what we understand might be some symbolism around his itinerary. the official reason, of course, is pilgrimage to replace that is of importance. another felt so essentially go here and with the general position of the church in relation to reconstruction. and you know, being near those who suffered so like willa suffered, a massively devastating earthquake in 2009. and the pope is know they're in part to mit victims. et cetera are like really so, so the place where one of the only popes that ever resign the prophecy actually

lace. and there's been a flurry of speculation that this an attempt to actually signal if possible resignation from this pope to the policy. this is, however, it's so far. only rumors is important to to underscore. no proof to that. yesterday pope francis, a named 20 new cardinals. what does their appointment signal, perhaps about the future or the direction of the church? it is quite a remarkable thing. the concert story that took place yesterday, and there are 2 meetings expected for the next 2 days, in which cardinals, among them, new cardinals will be meeting each other, some of them for the very 1st time, des pointman to really bring seen people from very, very unusual places so for instance, mouse in brazil at will get its 1st cardinal at gore. that has been in the church for about 450 years is about to get its 1st cardinal. and interestingly, in india,

which has almost an overwhelming majority of catholics who belong to the dallas, to dallas population have very, very few ballots in positions of power. in fact, no dilute has been made, guardian cardinal, paula. and it is understood that this people will play a pretty significant role in the next conclave, among other things, because the old timers inside the cardinal school are coming to age i over 80, and they will no longer be eligible to choose an exposure. so there is really a shift in the configuration of the group that will choose an expo. it is not really to be supposed that that will happen before. all of the pieces are in place . i mean, i think that this is something that it's really quite important to understand about this article, an inclusive church that is al norton, gac many, many thanks mind you're welcome to kenya. now

where it's been more than a week since william rito was declared winner of the presidential election, but his rival, regular or dingo, is disputing the outcome in the country's top court. he watched the results cancelled, claiming there were discrepancies in the figures. the situation is given kenyans a sense of deja vu 5 time presidential hopeful. my loading guy is at the supreme court. his optimistic that after a largely peaceful voting process, the court will nullify the result that placed his challenger william brutal, a head board. they thought we were playing, but we meant business. the right of the canyon will not be stolen by those thieves . this is the latest in an unfolding political drama, and at the center of it is the top court. in 2013, the supreme court faced its 1st major test after reloading us, so to have the election result thrown out,

the court ruled against him and upheld that vote. 5 years later, it was a case of same script, same cast as a dingo, once more sought the courts intervention. this time, the court would send the country back to a vote to day minis. you the court process as long and drawn out, but also proof of a maturing democracy. there will be based governance expert gabriel, norma agrees with a cabinet. we need to disengage from having the psycho process every 5 years that we don't just conduct one electron, but so it becomes a humongous golf to just run this electrons. so far, kenneth has spent over $360000000.00 on the election, making it one of the most expensive in the world. for the average canyon grappling with unemployment rising food costs and reduced wages. electron fatigue has set in, as was made clear by the northern expected voter turnout. gears the more we need to

wait for the case to be decided. so we know how life will be there, but that decision could make things better or worse. if we repeat the electron, it will affect us negatively by dollar. despite people under $35.00, making up the bulk of the can and population, the only re presented 39 percent of the voting bloc his year down from 51 percent in the previous selection. political analysts in every morocco says this disconnect between the youth and electoral processes could have devastating consequences. they will find another way to get the attention of government, and unfortunately it's mainly negative. so we can easily spiral into conflict because when you have a large population that doesn't have access to basic needs and they are hungry, you can't expect them to think street. all eyes are now in the supreme court, which must, for the 3rd time in a row, decide what the country's political future could be. ah,
