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. in pakistan's climate change minister sherry raman has just returned from the worst affected regions. she gave us this firsthand account of the devastation. well, as you can see, the image is a heartbreaking, it's not. the sad part is it that it is not stopping. the rain is relentless. the water is coming down in buckets from a month to the sky and we have now in our it's leak in the south of the country where it is beginning, many districts are beginning to look like they're part of the ocean. our helicopter

sorties are not finding dry land to drop your rations essential services. people on the roof and on on bits of high ground. we've had to deploy the navy for the 1st time to operate in in the bucket. because much of it looks resembles a small ocean. so yes, it's quite devastating. it is a climate catastrophe. and very clear, because the whole of this year we have seen one after another cascade of one after another event, extreme weather event and a guest time that good extra season. and that started lead to the in early march, late february, when we went straight from winter to spring pakistan became one of the hardest places on the planted crossing 53 degrees in the south. and that in its triggered agreed de la public strength. it triggered the thought as

a whole season of science, which we had to back in areas that we already have little cover. so it's been a very stressful time. and then of course, this unrelenting and that was pakistan's climate change minister sherry re, man for ministers in brussels are expected to make it more difficult for russian citizens to travel to the european union. they are set to suspend a 2007 agreement, gary giving preferential treatment to visa applications from russians. measure falls short of the total travel man. some member states were demanding. poland in the czech republic have already stopped issuing visas to russians, and others may follow and d, w is bent, it is in brussels, covering a story. force a bird. will this travel? will this make travel more difficult for russians?

yes, it very, more costly and also be more complicated to, to lock an application in the shannon countries instead of 35 years russians would have to pay 80 years. they would have to wait 3 weeks for the process and to be finalized and alter the embassies could ask for more documents and also for prove that the tourist can maintain themselves than they are in shannon. and that is difficult because they don't have access to international credit card systems anymore and or to international bank accounts. so there will be a lot of administration administrative burden added to the process. and all of that is designed to cut back the entries from russians into the shannon zone. so far since russia began its war on ukraine half a year ago. we have won 1000000 entries by russian passport holders registered in the you. most of them through finland, latvia and estonia, the 3 countries that have land borders with russia. because as you know,

russians cannot fly into the you anymore. so they try to, to take the land crossings. and these entries are not visas actually, because the people can enter in twice or thrice or many times with the 90 day shang, and visa and the problem is to cut this bag. many countries have already started to slow down the process. for example, in germany, only 110th of the regular amount of visas has been issued in the 1st half of 2022. and just briefly, if you don't mind, could this eventually mean a complete ban on russians coming to europe? not yet. there is no travel been other kinds of visas will be issued. for example, for russians who want to settle to study here or to visit family. this is possible, but it will. the tourist visas will be severely cut back. many countries have announced that now, but for russians, there's also a way to circumvent the turkey,

for example, allows visa free travel to it's territory. so if you want to vacation on the sea, you can still do that as a russian. ok, d, w is birth higert reporting for us from brussels. thanks so much. let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. now. the u. s. navy says 2 of its worships have sailed through the taiwan strait. it is the 1st such transit since china staged unprecedented military drills around the island. taiwan lives under constant threat of invasion by china, which claims it as its own territory. germany is filling its gas stalks more quickly than expected, despite russian supply cars. the government says it's on target to fill 85 percent of gas storage capacity by early next month with current levels at 82 percent. relent plans to stop using russian gas entirely next year. india has carried out its largest ever demolition logic to 100 meter apartment towers and the outskirts
