but getting to those who need it most is challenging. with some areas completely cut off. joan image has revealed the extent of the devastation near pakistan's indus river. the floods have destroyed bridges and washed away many roads, forcing authorities to use boats, military plains, and helicopters to carry out difficult rescue operations. often without a dry spot to land on. the government says one and 7 puck, his danis are affected by the floods, but in 33000000 people, many were forced to leave their homes returning only to see what still salvageable . yep. bye. and they got the honey bailey up when i saw the water coming killed, i saved the women and children. uh huh. when i returned here, there was a lot of water then i saved the castle, which i ordered after that. okay. there was no chance to return here yet. there was just too much water. we're josh nita. finding bos yet, are you the government expects the recent destruction to be worse than the white

spread flooding of 2010 people have actually lost the complete livelihood. the orchards, the garden, the ugly village of freedoms and crops have been destroyed. or we have lost more than 45 percent of horton grove and focused on relief efforts are underway across the country, cargo plains, from a broad upbringing urgently needed food. water intense to pakistan, yet many flood victims still feel abandoned by the government. flatter, gallano de la by a lot of water entered our village. our homes are submerged law. some of our relatives have died. we are not receiving any relief from the government. there are also concerns about what still to come. been soon season isn't over yet. more rain and flooding is expected. aletha kia shake is an independent expert on

climate risk management. i asked him about the devastation already about a 1000000. all that been damaged for what i call them have unfortunately love their lives. and probably 30000000 people have been touched. what we have seen so far is a buddy song capacity of the country rescue operations. of course it could have been better, but we have done, but i think what is the end of the term that i wish to i light is a very repre mobile. additional some resources disbursement. please remember that the advocate program we have done of survey of oswald many years ago to live database and we have identified the bottom 40 portion of the population and 60 percent of the population below the poverty line. and it is $1.00 to $10.00 each and the couch disbursements, in addition to emergency medicine and the water leak. and that is

absolutely important. one is that the initial estimate was that this will be a smaller number of people. it turned out the very, everything has a large number of people and very neat, quickly need to replenish our financial resources. with this, michael, especially like the apple disbursement of cash number also damaged. does me that the infrastructure is not glamour to delay. it tells us, but they need to be in the construction. you are a climate risk manager, so to speak. these flash floods are often part of the monsoon season, but not on this scale. the government blames climate change caused by other countries. what's your take on this? well, just imagine you go to a parent, this base and people have lost that is a structure that was doing god's 5 decades in sixties and seventies. and the

glacier and the garden footprint is nominated on it. they are bang for the lifestyle of society span generally speaking in terms of permanent laws and permanent damage to our society and ecosystems. so bottom line is the, in the glamor gen conversation. nobody is saved on this, everybody says, and here we see that last portion of population lived in the line. in fact, pro, lived very housing and non non resilient housing. and they never did the front of this office. and some of them come to our close to the because of the voucher and some come because of mission lead. other that on because after angel vance now, and then of course, our infrastructure in front management management is pretty strong. or if you are

not prepared for the for infrastructure for reading, you were not prepared for directions in of this thought to cause across your transit range shredding of the same. so it's in the garbage and contacts. the footprint of this country is very small, but we are on the wrong side of the stick when it comes to climate, justice b have no calculations done in terms of estimating the, the, the climate cost economy and development. but this much me not all the each but excuse me, one such as ways such as dogs and frauds and see what intrusion and god bless you. med, the cost of development is increasing considerably. that's the only talk he has shaken expert on climate risk management in pakistan. iran has closed its land borders to iraq, following violence. that's around it in the country. on tuesday she,

i tear it knocked out the status that he was leaving politics, which prompted deadly clashes in iraq's capital back. that def, told the classes rose to 23 on tuesday following a day and night of on race. supporters of santa could be seen firing rocket propelled grenades into baghdad, screens on earlier crowds that storms the presidential palace, but security forces drove them back out of the green zone. the one that comes as a rank remains gripped in a political crisis that has left it without a government since elections last october. ah, supporters of finance, shia cleric mcdonough. it's under reach, but does heavily fortified green zone in india, whom do ministries and embassies the soon over and the government palace. and i thought that out of a our revolution is solely in rocky. why it's not southwest. no, this isn't

a rocky revolution with any of the iraq. it should be returned to its people, it and yadda, yadda up. why act yamaha? i let what's your plan? oh my, our demands are to dissolve parliament and to hold the corrupt to account and we say to a saddler, we will sacrifice for you victory's aus alina, while you inside many was seen lounging in meeting rooms, used by iraqi heads of state, and cooling off in a swimming pool in the garden, they were soon driven out by security forces using deer, gas, and gunshots. the un mission to iraq, as well as the united states, called on all sides for restraint. the plan up of violence follows months of political deadlock in iraq looked at others movement as of this block was the biggest winner in october's election. but he failed to form

a government that excluded his. she arrivals close to iran law, moral marsh. i have, he would do his lawmakers from parliament in june. what was that? who are you on my anthony? his followers have since been staging a, sitting outside the parliament calling for fresh elections. well, this isn't the 1st time the influential garrick has withdrawn from politics. you thought to know for the cotton deadlock in iraq appears harder to resolve than in the past. ukraine says it's broken through enemy lines at several points near the southern city of hassan. it's monica campaign to retake territory occupied by russia. the push comes after weeks of preparation. ukraine has been attacking russia's supply roots in an attempt to isolate troops in the area. russia captured has on the on in the wall. you can president, florida. miss lensky is bound to push russian forces out of all occupied territories, saying there'll be no place for the invaders on ukrainian lat. raina. ukraine is

returning its own, and it will return hockey if lou hans don't yet. separation, the fast on regions, crimea, and definitely the waters of the black. and i've been hodges is a military expert and former commander of us forces in europe. welcome ukraine's long been expected to launch a major counter offensive. is this the beginning of it? well, we're, we're not sure the ukrainian general staff has done a very good job of protecting information. but we know more about the russians than we do about what your premium courses are doing. but certainly the last few weeks we are seeing effective use of high mars and other weapon systems to, to do what we call shaping operations to a trip or degrade russian logistics or children. rockets commanding control. it does, has the feeling it does have the feeling of the beginning of something large. but

we're not sure yet. there's a lot more to unfold in the next few days. but would you say that the cranium military has the capacity to to launch a successful counter offensive? yeah, i do the again, the ukrainian general staff has done a good job of preparation and they have resisted the urge to push every new tank in every new soldier. into the current fight, holding on to them to build up a force that would be ready to launch an attack once the conditions are set on the ground. so what we're seeing, for example, the isolation of thousands of russian troops on the north, west side of the negro river, for example, the, the significant reduction of artillery from russian side. all of these things are necessary preparations. i think that ukraine, if in fact they do launched their offensive, they will pick the right time in place to do it. and you say we know more about the

russians. how do you expect them to respond? well, of course we're seeing a variety of, of reactions from nothing's happening, nothing to see over here to people panicking both in terms of soldiers, but also even the civilians on the russian side of the border in belgrade. and, and i think there's great concern. the problem is that the russians have not yet fixed the many problems that they had that were on display back in february and march, especially their command and control framework for how they make decisions. now move people around that's, it's still a mess to be candid and there logistical system is fragile, exhausted. it is gotten weaker by the. ready with every passing week, so they're not as able to react to changes in the situation as they, as we might have expected earlier. what about her last week announcing a 10 percent increase in russian troops in ukraine. what's that say about the state

of the russian army? well, it, it's very interesting 1st that they would say that is a public acknowledgement that there's a problem. number one, number 2, the, i would say that this was the number that they will never get. there are, and i would bet a large amount of money. there's not $137000.00 russians wanting to step forward and join the military. and in fact, there's a tradition in russia of serious inflation of numbers. they've never had what they said they had, but this is a classic means of corruption to claim you have a certain number to draw salaries, when in fact, you're only paying about a half to 3 quarters of that. so there was a real manpower problem in russia, which is not something that i would have thought i'd said a few months ago. they just don't have people that want to get in this fight. and frankly, it so overall, lee, unhealthy population, decreasing in size. i don't think they'll ever get 237000 and if they did,

it would be months before these guys would show up with any level of training and improper equipment. let's see if this proves to be a turning point and husband's military expert and former commander. thank you. thanks for the privilege of the war is forced millions of ukrainians from their homes. many a children we've lost everything. a group of volunteers in the south has set up a summer camp. of course it's supposed to be a place of fun and safety, but as dw mathias burning a reports, the horror of the war is never far away. i yardi is 11 years old to day. it's a birthday like no other defeat missouri. i wish you have happiness and a peaceful sky above your head. ever. i wish you that everything will be fine and that you can go home soon. this is a summer camp for kids and families. we've lost their home refugees from embattled

occupied areas, yadda and his mother fled her son, which is occupied by the russians. that was the c a u h. the russians were standing where with tanks, bankruptcy and next to the tanks where people unable to live and then they would use people way wise. it's not unable to live his code word for book in just a few weeks. many of these kids have some and most people in the lifetime yard. it's dad is a soldier in the ukranian army. his mother decided to flee when the russians started looking for the families of ukrainian soldiers. but yet you, as soon as i looked through the blinds, i was scared, but the neighbors saved me. they told the soldiers that it was the house of a single mother with 2 kids. and the soldiers looked, they saw children's clothes drawing in the yard and didn't enter here. when they

begin these, they sleep though, my dear. the organiser is alexi olenick. everybody cause him uncle yosh. so he wanted to create a space of solace if only temporarily with the war is always close. he remembers the 7 year old girl named marsha whilst him to bring her friend the camp was full, so he told her the friend could come 2 weeks later. seated street, the masa and one day she was sitting there in the hammock crying. lou, yep, it's. i approached her and asked for to blush what's wrong and thought? and she said to sure, but that was quick when she said my friend, whom he didn't take on, i said yes, i remember she's coming in 2 weeks. is one of these i'm and she said well knows, and she's not coming any more yet has amused sure. you have to, i understand if not my fault

doesn't, but she would still be alive with too many have stories like this, but on cuz you're shy and the other volunteers try as much as they can to distract everybody with outdoor activities. it's the birthday boy's turn to climb the rock solid yard. it makes it to the toss it. well you, you download bravo! what's gonna be a good? i'm not, not. we've got a victory at least for to day. when so much in his life remains uncertain. defense ministers from across the european union, a meeting in prague to discuss the blocks military support the ukraine. the talks are expected to focus on setting up a you training for the ukrainian army to operate waste and weapons. he is a look at some of the military aid that ukraine is receiving. ukraine's ammunition supply is about to get

a boost. it's howard sir. artillery units will be stocked with a new toddler shell called the volcano. germany says it's sending several 100 volcano munitions to the front line. the gps and laser guided missiles reach up to 80 kilometers, almost doubling the range of most how it says already existing donated equipment is having an impact. hope so rascally approval, it never showings on slow the answer every day, but due to new weapons that were perceived from the west to particularly high mars and houses, our chances have equalized. that's where you see that with a full one of our shots was answered with 50 shots from them myself. when needed today, the ratio is one to 4 or one to 5 frequency. they didn't looked at the this within that you did. okay. ah, hi mars are the us supplied long range murder, rocket launches, which have allowed ukraine to hit deep behind rush and lies. countries have pledged

almost 90000000000 years worth of equipment or military financing. the u. s. is by far the biggest donna, followed by the united kingdom and the european union. poland is number 4. it's donations include how it's their artillery vehicles like these to replace ukraine's soviet era tanks and cannon losses thoroughly. and i think the advance is more successful on our side, because our equipment is more modern. we attack the occupiers. more precisely. germany is the 5th biggest military donor. it is now pledged almost 2000000000 years worth of aid, including anti aircraft vehicles and training for troops to operate them. the melody is in to men who are here will defend their country high level. they will defend it against the terrible threat posed to ukraine by russia's brutal war of aggression. and we will continue to support them without financial k relatives, but also with weapons of within buffer and private

individuals have also sent 1000000 for help ukraine by drones, for its fleet of eyes in the sky. foreign support has been crucial in keeping ukraine's resistance efforts. afloat and helping defend its territory for longer than anyone expected is tito is alexander phenomena in prague with more on what you defense ministers will discuss today. there are 2 main issues on their agenda. arms deliveries of, for instance, we just saw that you members, states are providing ukraine would all kinds of military equipment, but those deliveries are depleting there is talk. so the question here is, and if the defense ministers are going to discuss that, how they can push the industry took for the youth more, some of them are suggesting that they need more european funding. some of them are

in favor of joint kill procurement of weapon systems or ammunition. and another topic that is here on the agenda is a higher level training mission for you. the eucharist in an army. you foreign policy chief feels that burrell told us that he is expecting the defense ministers to get their political backing for such a training mission. we know that some members, state friends, or germany or denmark, there are already training ukrainian soldiers by their goal here is for the european union to coordinate such a mission and to finance it. and e u foreign ministers are also meeting to discuss visa restrictions for russian travelers. yes sir. visa restrictions for russian citizens are looming large over the meeting of the foreign minister as later today. here in prague with many members, states demanding a total ban on

a russian a visa of off on tourist visas. however, some in the states, among them, friends and germany oppose such a ban. germany in friends circulated a paper, a hat off the meeting. he is saying that it's important to respect the people to people exchange that it's important dare to ration artists a position segers, or intellectuals. the students are still able to come to the european union. so as you can see, there is little appetite for the moment for such a total ban. but i think with many east, any repeal and baltic states demanding such a step. this discussion is here to stay, alexandra, a phenomena for us in prague. thank you very much. scientists still haven't identified the cause of the deaths of thousands of fish in the order river. think of this month, there are numerous theories, but so far,

no conclusive explanations. it's been described as an environmental disaster for the waterway which borders eastern germany and poet scouring a river for dead fish. this was not quite how clara una had imagined her 1st days at work. fresh out of university, she'd landed her dream job working as a ranger in the lower odor valley park. a few weeks into the job, the natural park was hit by an unprecedented disaster. tons of dead fish washed ashore. sam, the unfastened bison, the yacht, some of them were still gasping bit, and later we saw them in reserve. and here at the o booms van horned em says naturally, and of course it was shocking, especially afterwards when it started to sting, as decomposition said in i'm the red hat. hundreds of kilometers of the odor river are affected altogether. almost 150 tons of dead fish have been removed from the

river, which runs between germany and poland. the causes are still unclear, but toxic algae might have been the reason for the die off. its growth likely accelerated after brackish water was dumped into the river. by now most of the fish corpses have sunk to the river bed. but yeah, no worries that the dead fish were just the tip of the iceberg. and yet come on me again within the now you can see quite clearly here that it wasn't just fish that died just because that is what was obvious at 1st given done. but now there are lots of dent snails and shellfish. yeah. to the masses. it is dramatic because it shows just how many other organisms have come to harm and we still don't know what is going on under volta buffer. is both manion gets canal with the odor. now practically a dead zone. you know, we'll spend years managing the damage done to the parks ecosystem. 80 kilometers up

the river. people like and i schneider are also beginning to contend with their losses will be that too long. he was born into a fishing family and grew up on the banks of the owner. his family makes its living from smoked fish at present, only fish from the baltic sea and their camp site. but potential visitors are scared and i was on my for having a great summer. you can see people on the road with a black, so can't events. but in recent years we'd always have a lot more people come on now suddenly as become so quiet, you can see for yourself. schneider still has many questions about what killed the fish and who was responsible. but he focuses on keeping afloat and rejoices at every lie fishy spots and the river was bitten by that thing, but it just has to go long. and we've written, i'd like to continue to practice my profession here was and to live by the river, where they live. the dramatic images of tons of dead fish have now passed. meanwhile, the inhabitants of the odors banks are just starting to gauge the extent of their

loss. and remind her of the top story way of following for you. one 3rd of pakistan is under water to widespread flooding. the government says climate change is to play the climate change and it's the comparison situation to a dystopian disaster movie. and so she's never seen anything like it. it wasn't dw news from berlin up next. eco africa. don't forget, you can get all the latest news and information on our website. and for solid, thanks for watching. with . with
