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 week 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, you know, rations essential services. people on the roof and 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 after season. and that started 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, 53 degrees in the south. and that it triggered agreed de la public stress. 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 that was pakistan's climate change minister sherry reman. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. the u. s. navy says 2 of its worships have sailed through the taiwan strait. it's 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 territory of its own. germany is filling its gas stocks more quickly than expected, despite russian supply cuts. 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. berlin plans to stop using russian gas completely next year. foreign ministers in brussels are expected to make it more difficult for russian citizens to travel to the european union. they are set to suspend at 2007 agreement, giving preferential treatment to visa applications from russians. the measure falls short of the total travel man. so member states have been demanding check. republic have already stopped using, issuing visas to russians, and others may fall. i asked he w correspondent, best he get about in brussels,

about how this will make travelling for russians more difficult. he has it very more costly and also would 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 or 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 through 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, no trevor 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 that. 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 bert higert, reporting for us from brussels. thanks so much. hope frances has visited a town in central italy still rebuilding in the wake of a huge earthquake. more than a decade ago, 300 people were killed and many of low killers, finest buildings destroyed. the pope celebrated mass, but their spelling speculation that he may soon step down. a 1st hand tour of reconstruction work in l'aquila. the city's cathedral was among the buildings badly damaged in a devastating earthquake in 2009. but the pope's visit was closely watched because of one of l'aquila as other claims to fame. the city is home to a pilgrimage church that is the final resting place of pope celeste in the 5th,
