ah ah ah ah, this is dw news lie from berlin, it's being called a climate catastrophe. weeks of monsoon, raines and flooding and pakistan have killed more than a 1000 people and affected millions. while the government blames global warming opposition figures say it's down to poor planning and corruption also coming up,

pope francis arrives to lift spirits on the christian sabbath as an italian town that still repairing the damage, 13 years after a devastating earthquake. and in the bonus league, glad of our whole league leaders by a munich to a one all draw in a thrilling clash. ah, monica jones, good to have you with us? pakistan's climate minister is calling flash floods that have killed over a 1000 people, a climate catastrophe. the newest fatalities are primarily been reported in the north, west, and down in southern cent province, southern baluchistan provinces also heavily impacted by weeks of unrelenting monsoon rains. more than 30000000 people nationwide are affected, while vital infrastructure has been triple to by the historic inundation. the

countries prime minister is appealing to other countries for help forced from their homes, with only the few belongings they could save from the flood waters. there just some of the 33000000 pakistani authorities say, have already been affected by this years flooding. bellagio, stan pakistan's, largest and poorest province, is one of the worst affected some here feel abandoned. if i'm a let, i am called the got it. we're carrying our own belonging, so our house is submerged. i think that it. how else are we supposed to save them? or you can see how we're carrying them on such a terrible situation. if there's nobody from the government, nobody to help nobody to even ask about it. we put in a while i've been here to the north west in punjab. these flood victims at least are getting some official help already. but the scale of the task is massive.

rivers swollen by unrelenting rains, have washed away bridges and roads across the country, hindering aid efforts. the cash track government has launched an international appeal for funds to help deal with the devastation, but the cost of the damage is already estimated to run into the billions. earlier we talked to ideal sheriffs swift chair, charity care international about the critical situation and pakistan and the need for international assistance. everything is required to be honest to day if you don't have did. ready there will be. ready more and more challenges will be facing incoming days to come. so international help are required from now and of all the aid workers odd at the sea level responding to this emergency along with the government of arkansas. so the support is to be honest, required. now now,

if he, if he really wait for that a long time will be late for this response. so we really need to think of us to day rather than tomorrow, to ukraine. now the un says millions of tons of grain still need to be cleared from ukrainian, silas to make room for the new harvest shipments resumed through the black sea. earlier this month, after a deal broken by turkey lifted a russian blockade. the flow of grain has helped ease food prices, but experts so far down by half compared to the same period last year, dw mathias, berlin 90th told us how new government regulation can help get more grain export it . there's the hope that the new measures they introduced will have an impact. basically, they introduced new rules for men. men are bought, banned from leaving the country since the beginning of the war due to a potential attribute 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 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 need the ships. and there's also the problem of insurance, which is of course, very costly because they're sailing into a war zone. and despite all the guarantees. so it's apartment measure that could potentially ease, but it's probably not the solution to the problem. the complete solution. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines. 6 people have been killed after a truck crashed into a neighbourhood party near the dutch city of rotterdam. 7 others were injured in the incident. the 46 year old spanish driver who was arrested at the scene as under investigation into what caused his vehicle to run off a dike. thousands of people gathered in the northern german city of ross stalk to

remember racist attacks that happened there. 30 years ago in 1990 to crowds cheered as far right to extreme mister tact, a center for asylum seekers and a hostile for vietnamese workers. it was the worst violence of its kind in postwar germany, people in japan half turned out for the country's 1st fireworks display since the outbreak of the pandemic. but spectator numbers were limited to 60 percent of pre pandemic labels as a precaution. one visitor to the annual spectacle said summer hadn't been the same without fireworks lightning up the sky to kenya now where it's been more than a week since william router was declared winner of the presidential election. but his rival, right with anger is disputing the outcome in the country's top court. he wants the results cancelled, claiming there were discrepancies, and the figures. the situation is given kenyans

a sense of deja level 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 a top court. in 2013, the supreme court faced its 1st major test. after i loading a saw to have the election results 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 many of you, the court process as long and drawn out,

but also proof of a maturing democracy. there will be based governance expert. gabriel mal dormer agrees with a cabinet with which to disengage from having the cyclic process every 5 years that we don't just pull that one electron button too. so it becomes a humongous golf to just run this electrons so far it can. it 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 lower than 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 election. it will affect us negatively by law. 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 straight. 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. pope francis is in the centre italian town of l'aquila on a closely watched visit. as part of his trip, he got a look at reconstruction work following the 2009 earthquake, which badly damaged many of the regions buildings. the main event on the pope's itinerary was celebrating mass at a pilgrimage church visit to alack! willa comes the day after frances appointed 20 new cardinals,

many of whom may 1 day help decide his success on your portal to it. you have a more i'm joined now here in the studio by d. w. a religious affairs correspondent matching gac enter. that actually raises quite a lot of questions. so could you perhaps a tell us, i mean, during mass the pope said that relinquishing power was a sign of humility. this is surely somehow adding to speculation about his future. indeed. so there's been quite a bit of speculation quite a bit of rumor, particularly, and specialize special express load the possibility of him, essentially stepping back, stepping out of the policy, the visit to l'aquila. i said self quite significant because actually in the l'aquila rests are one of the only folks that actually has resigned his position and drink the homily she actually did say that relinquishing bower is indeed a form of humility. it is an expression of godliness. this will not help settle

rumors as a matter of fact will probably accelerate the rumor machine. and this comes directly in the heels of the sconces story, which is happening actually pretty much right now. it will continue to morrow and the day after, in which 20 new cardinals, many of them quite align with the both political and ideological. if not, theological intuitions had been actually brought into the fold of the church and become potential electors in the choosing of the next pope. so what does this tell us about the future of the church? it's actually a very good question. it's really quite difficult to sort of pinpoint what is that happens sort of from here on, particularly because there's been a very strong confrontation between very conservative sectors of the church, particularly led by the anglo saxon world, the u. s. and australia play sort of a really significant role. and essentially the policy which has taken a much more integrative, if not sort of commitment committed to diversity. many of the people that were now

made cardinals, or people that come from fairly unusual places. for instance, gore where there's been for 450 years sort of membership of the church, but actually no cardinal. and as a matter of fact, people that generally belong to the basis of the church and do not really came coming to the church as part of sort of its hierarchy. so it's very likely that the next conclave will see many of these voices were presented in ways that they had not been before our meeting acted on the religious affairs correspondent, thank you so much that you're welcome. ah, in the bundis league herb i'm unique, took on mention glad by looking to continue their perfect start to the season after being drawn and the champions league against a barcelona side featuring their recently departed superstar robert 11 dorski by on were looking for a real show of strength that came up against a stubborn, glad backside, with a keeper in top form, i could only manage a one. all draw with robert levin. dusky set to return to the alley and serena in

the champions league high. and we're hoping the likes of saudi or manet, and thomas miller could send a message to their former goal machine. they dominated, mentioned glad by in the early stages. some dazzling footwork from kingsley co man saw him go close to an opener. then by and thought they'd scored with a tap in from manet bout via our rule that leroy sonny was off side before the finish. out of no way, glad i suddenly took the lead marcus to ram racing through to make it one nil. in the 43rd minutes, the frenchman holding off his compatriot dial open mechana to send me away. fans whiles, going in to half time by ins, own supposes were in boisterous form off to the break. bought on the pitch, the place found themselves rebuffed again and again by glad by keep a yan zelma 1st, he made

a phenomenal double say from manet. then with sun a thrown go, he made a stunning stop to keep his side in front. but you can never count by an ounce at home. and with just 7 minutes remaining sun i leveled for the host a perfect finish to finally beat zelma with time almost up mathias delete. i had one more rockets, but again, the swish stopper was equal to it. the 11 draw sees by and drop points for the 1st time this season. thanks to the man of the moment, zona lever couldn't have finally won their 1st points of the new bundis league a season after beating mines away from home. a shot from mexico palacios was deflected in for an own goal to give a gruesome delete. 10 minutes later mussa jobby tore through the minds to fence.

before setting up a jeremy friend pung, for a score and frame pong, then secured the wind getting around the goalkeeper to make it 3 nail. they've a cushion as convincing when to put to their horrible start to the season behind them and that's all from us. so for now, up next to doc, film, present cash tack happiness and the desire for validation on social media can lead to addiction. i monica johnson from me and the team here in berlin. thanks for watching with a vibrant habitat ended glistening place of long the mediterranean sea scene of ill muster at jaffar abdul karim drift. a law.
