. clashes killed more than 23 people in baghdad. we speak to an analyst to find out what sparks leon rest. and one year after the u. s. with through all its troops from afghanistan, some american veterans still unhappy about how that government decided to leave the country. plus the war in ukraine has traumatized millions of children. we visit a summer camp trying to give young people and their families a break from the horror. difficult to play. ah. i manuscripts mckinnon. thanks so much for being with us. the united nations is issuing an emergency appeal for funding to help pakistan recover from devastating floods. the rains have stopped for now,

but more than one 3rd of the country has been left under water. over 33000000 people have been affected. now this map shows the vast areas impacted by the floods stretching across the entire length of the country. and in the south, much of pakistan's bread, basket provinces, have been submerged, raising concerns about food security, a village underwater, in pakistan. sind province, one of several key agricultural regions that now resemble small oceans. many people here were poor before the floods came. now they've lost almost everything in those areas that are dry, makeshift camps, how's those displaced by the water? and farmers salvage what they can from their fields. pakistan's climate minister

says the flooding is apocalyptic, and that her country is bearing the brunt of climate change caused by more develop nations. boxes than is less than one percent in the global emissions up by if you like. we hardly contribute any of emissions to the broader emission blanket that makes so for greenhouse gases to turn our climates into a living hill. in the northern pakistani city of la horror, the effects of the floods are being felt in soaring prices for food and other basic goods. they love you are these prices of increased a lot because of the floods while it is thank. if goods can't be transported from baluchistan, the roads are close iffy. my, our business here is almost slow to a star bodies that are built while people can't feed their children, can't pay their rent. so got there. can even pay electricity bill should i have all prices of double bill. i got got a sec, they're supposed double mendera the floods could not have come at

a worse time for pakistan where the economy was already in crisis. now the government says it needs more than $10000000000.00 to recover from this latest climate catastrophe. and we can speak now with our eef java con his with the n g a water aiden is in the flooded area and send province. thanks for joining us. tell us what you've been seeing where you where you all yes, thank you for having me here. we actually went to see the people did the news by the flood. and we saw was actually because of letting people have their bank been living on the banks of the can as green. that proven and wait a few of us. so people are living there and they are dependent on it for

almost everything because they leave without you know, much of the stuff without taking much from their homes. so the, you know, they are looking for a shelter, food, water education. we did see some tend to be provided by the government in some areas and being graded by some of the agencies. but i think the critical issues around working in a taishan because without that people living in complicated areas. busy you know, the probability of getting daddy or diseases you know, and even infection growth renders, you've lifted off all of the things that people need. clearly the, the need is, is grace at the moment. but how do, how do you get to people who are in this kind of situation and what's the one thing that you can help them with right now? well i think great though people need the re and this is the, you know, the dad and the way it was more because, you know,

these are the very basic human that we're talking about. so if they can't do it for that at the moment, i mean, there is nothing else we can think about. yes, the roads are accessible because the that hasn't been rain for a couple of days, but the working students tending and this is a said that it was district fun. so we have you know, the n c in front of us and you know, what? so what, what is this area for a long time? and i think that is why the government is asking about, you know, a fund for not just this is where those who are and pakistan has been facing an economic crisis for months now come the club, the floods. how do you feel about the country's ability to cope with this scale of a disaster? well, you see, the thing is even if you're coming to be, which is, you know,

better off than focused on economic leads before we never to do with such a huge disaster because it's affecting all the way from the extreme not right. we're sitting in the scene so then from, you know, just to, you know, to, to, to the restaurant. but i guess if that's more than 30000000 people being affected in any government would be able to cope with it. and i think that's what it is struggling with right now. our job con of was a thank you so much for your time today. thank ok. let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. and israeli court has sentence the garza director of an international agency to another 6 years in prison. that's in addition to the 6, he's already served mohammed al hobby of the christian charity world vision was jailed in 2016. he was convicted of channeling funds to hamas militants. he

continues to deny the allegations. some of china's biggest cities have increased coven 19 restrictions, as part of china's 0 cove. it strategy, sions, and in the south is closed businesses and postpone the start of the school year. and some districts are requiring proof of negative test results for entry into residential areas. now, one year ago, the last u. s. military plane left afghanistan. now that ended americas longest military engagement and came after several chaotic weeks. this will the taliban take over the country as us forces pulled back and afghan troops surrendered by early august u. s. troop presence had dwindled as the taliban closed in more than a 100000 people had been evacuated. it was one of the largest air lifts in history . now this is the last american soldier. to leave boarding

a flight that carried the u. s. ambassador and other military personnel. the taliban soon moved into the air force and paraded equipment, the americans and their nato allies had left behind, much of which had been destroyed to keep it out of taliban hans. one year after abruptly pulling out of afghanistan and off to fighting america's longest, ever war on record. many for may u. s. military service members are still haunted by what transpired a cobble airport. in august 2021. d w. stephan simons met to us afghan war veterans near seattle in washington state. u. s. army ranger veteran matthew griffin doesn't need visual reminders of what transpired in august last year. c the images of desperate afghans at cobble airports trying to flee the country as taliban fighters took over,

are burned in his memory and carved into his conscience. he says that moment it broke me and i had to reach out to a couple friends, a local small business. they offered up a board room, which we set up a command center and i had army rangers, navy seals green to raise and a bunch of civilians come in and we set up a full on command center. griff, as everybody calls him, his friends and comrades went into overdrive, trying to help bring as many afghans out as possible. people they had worked with, fought with, bled for, cried and laughed with griffith. and many others are still upset about how the u. s . conducted their withdrawal from afghanistan, i don't know a service member that isn't are set apart. and it's not that the law. i mean, i think everybody say, hey, we won all the battles. burger lost the war. but i think it's more the, the lock and which fell flat on that word. arc nation acted in a dishonorable way. and the generals and the senior staff officers and all the

people in the white house and they're the ones who made those decisions. and i don't know a service member that just doesn't absolutely abhor them, period filled with frustration. griff offers his perspective and a reality check. you know, we have all our friends there who are hurting who are suffering and there's no way out for them. no one is coming, it's up to them, they're trapped. they need to figure out life moving forward. whether they decide to ron or whether they decide to stay or whether they decide to fight, it's their decision. there's nothing that the everyday citizen like you and i can do to support them anymore. still grief and others continue their efforts to help, even though they can't send money or goods into afghanistan. they can't get anybody out any more, but they can still help afghans who made it into the u. s. meet jimmy, settle

a former air force per a rescue man and friend of griff. he managers, the local african refugees assistance center is mission. now, helping afghans to get a foothold in their new home america, that's my, that's the, to my heart. i welcome them with the open arms. and because my folks, my family at some point in history, were immigrants in us and it be hypocritical to deny them the same opportunities. jimmy and griff are just 2 of thousands of you as veterans who served in afghanistan, who are still trying to support afghans in any way possible. each, in their own way. the rocky cleric knocked out the al serra has called on his followers to end all protests in the iraqi capital. he apologized to the iraqi people for the violence. after fighting with rival shiite forces raged for a 2nd day in bagdad, sought a gay follow as 60 minutes to withdraw from the city's high security green zone. at

least 23 people have been killed since clashes erupted on monday. shortly before that sarah had said he was stepping away from politics ah clashes in the heart of baghdad for a 2nd day. supporters of influential shiite cleric and politician mac tada al serra attacks the green zone, again. exchanging fi with security forces one day after he declared he was quitting politics. they're heavily armed and frustrated with the political deadlock . it says they have cotton woollen. there is johnny. we asked the reforms. we asked them to park down what they didn't look at it, but they did nothing wrong with that called it. now we don't tell them satellite dish should have. so it up, we are only here to ask for a good life to ask for schools for our children, access to health care. we won't dignity. local jo,

god got our work. on monday crowd stormed a government palace in the green zone, home to diplomatic buildings, leaving dozens of sandra. supporters dead. aah! the clashes were just the latest escalation litski crisis that's left iraq without any government since elections last october. nothing but on the tuesday afternoon, sandra used a televised speech to order his supporters to return home and apologized to the iraqi people for the bloodshed on the market that got many onset his call immediately and began leaving the green zone ad instructed, enjoying me for more on this is danielle gala editor in chief exaninth, middle east magazine. good to see. i think we've just heard alpha has called for his followers to withdraw from the green zone in baghdad. would you say that this is a sign that he did not foresee the level of violence that erupted in baghdad or we,

he didn't foresee it, but he factored it in. and that's what they usually do in iraq. the politics when you want to strengthen your position of negotiation and don't want to be called bluff and you have to invest in it. and other has several ultimatums to his political opponents. one was 72 hours ago and he said like, we're going to the end, we're going to abolish this political system. we're going to dismantle the green zone and we are ready to do it. i'll follow us ready to do it. and he knew that on the other side, there was also a willingness to oppose this also violently. and of course he knows very well that even be rocky state with its security institutions is obliged to protect the greens on so it was a very dangerous game. according to my information, the, the statement that came out today by mocked us other was just not coming out of the blue and not only a response to the violence that wrapped it on the streets of baghdad. but also pri negotiations. he talked to the political opponents, who he knows for a very long time, and then he said, i'm willing to call on the protest and withdraw from the streets

a fact that in order to avoid for further bloodshed could you walk us through what started this unrest in the 1st place, well, 1st of all, the subject movement has been calling for the dismantlement of the green zone, which they consider a sign of occupation and the arrogance of the political leads. and for a long time to have invaded the green zone with her state protest essence, 2016 every now and then governments have been promising to abolish the green zone. but of course they haven't followed up on these promises. now, about 10 months ago, after the last, the rockefeller mentioned reelection, the sonorous, turned out to be the major winner of the election. but they didn't have enough seeds to, to form a government on themselves. and the discussions that have been going on on successfully solve that say in the last 10 months, what do we want to have a majority government with an opposition and a strong party that assumes responsibility? or do we want to continue with a system of national unity, where basically all the players are at the table. everyone has access to to power, but no one has really to be held accountable. and this, these issues when solved,

there are a few constitutional details that hadn't been solved, that we would go now into, but that was a big mess. and in the end, the absence of a, of a dialogue of a national dialogue in the country meaningful national dialog before the elections was one of the factors that led to this, to this deadlock and ultimately to this disaster. can you tell us a little bit more about, look, cut out altogether and his support says, what is it that they want to achieve in iraq wanted us other is a very interesting character. iraq politics, probably one of the most interesting characters in the least that i personally ever met. and he's a, he's a cleric. he doesn't have a high status in the clergy, but he's the son of a very important, a charismatic leader, that many of i have pledged loyalty to even after his death. the sonorous movement is more than a political party. it is a political social movement that has a political party, and it also has an armed militia to protect its people to protect its political

interest. so it's a very complex system and mach, today's, not just the party leader. he sees himself as the leader of movement and of course he, he also is proud of his to his, his clerical status that he has. so he considers himself also spiritual and religious leader. but he pursues a very particular kind of nationalist agenda in iraq, a populous nationalist agenda, and one has to save you agree with him or not? he is able to mobilize a lot of people, as you can see. now, people are withdrawing from the green zone. people follow what he says. fascinating, then you'll get love will have to leave at that. thanks very much for speaking with us. thank you. a ukraine says it has broken through enemy lines at several points near the southern city of hassan. it is mounting a campaign to retake territory occupied by russia. the push comes off to weeks of preparation. ukraine has been attacking russian supply routes in an attempt to isolate troops in the area. russia captured hassan early on in the rule

of the war as force millions of ukrainians from their homes. and many a children have 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 budding, a reports, the horror of the war is never far away. i yard it is 11 years old to day. it's a birthday like no other than i wish you have happiness and a peaceful sky above your head. i wish you that everything will be fine and that you can go home soon. this is summer. come for kids and families. we've lost their ho refugees from embattled occupied areas, yada and his mother flit her son which is occupied by the russian. that was the c a

u h. the russians were standing were with tanks, bankruptcy and next to the tanks where people unable to live. and then they push people away. flies is unable to live his code word for book just a few weeks. many of these kids have seen and most people in the lifetime yard, it's dad is a soldier and the ukranian army, his mother decided to flee when the russians started looking for the families of ukrainian soldiers. but yeah, children, firms, i looked through the blinds. i was scared, but the neighbor 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 drying in the yard and didn't enter. i don't need the dean these nicely though. my dear, the organizer is alexi olenick. everybody calls him uncle yoshi so he wanted to

create a space of solace if only temporary. the war is always close. he remembers the 7 year old girl named marsha lost him to bring her friend. the camp was full, so he told her the friend could come. 2 weeks later she does 3 me mush. and one day she was sitting there in the hammock crying. lou, yep, it's. i approached her and asked her to blush, what's wrong and thought? and she shrugged his shoulders but that was quick when you said my friend, whom he didn't take on, i said yes, i remember she's coming in 2 weeks. is one of these. and then she said, well i was and she's not coming any more yet. i'm you sure you have to. i understand if not my fault that but she would still be alive. i this

is too many have stories like yours, but uncle yoshi 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 get them a private which good idea. get them there is no good that victory at least for to day. when so much in his life remains uncertain. oh sure, i will. i, yesterday i was on a boat. we were rowing around an island. you know what i forgot about the war? i forgot about it all. there's a ruler. and then nighttime comes, and of course there's a camp for just like some a break, except that this is not just a break from school. but from a war the german chancellor or left, charlotte says that his country is well prepared to tackle

a possible energy shortage shots was speaking at the start of the to day government retreat outside of berlin discussions. there are focusing on the impacts. russia's invasion of ukraine has had on energy supply in europe. says grow about rising energy prices this winter. the cabinet will be discussing a new release package aimed at mitigating the toll of high energy bills on uses. and on companies at chancellor shall struck a positive note, a laying fears about germany's ability to cope with possible energy supply shortages busy this and having the as you know, we started preparing very early for the possibility that there could be problems with energy supplies to as early as december of last year was, i asked the economy minister and my economic advisor in the chancellor each year. what happens if you got supplies from russia, for example, suddenly stopped via and because we started so early, we were able to make the necessary decision and very quickly so that we can get through this winter the other next week to well, dr. innocent and our chromecast,

and we can cross now to our political correspondent, lena hazard, who joins us from that government retreat. nena chancellor schultz says germany is in a better position to deal with a potential gas crisis than was expected a few months ago. can you tell us why that is? well, for the 1st time today, i would say we saw a cautiously optimistic all i've showed the chancellor telling germans essentially that we are now in a position to get through this winter more or less. okay. and possibly also through next winter, the chancellor has been sending out this message for a while now that his government was in a position very early on where they foresaw the possibility of russia reducing gas flows to germany and then started making preparation. so now all the laws are in place that are needed to launch an emergency mechanisms for example. but also you said that a gas storage facilities have been filled up throughout the summer when it was

warmer and not that many people needed her heat, their homes. and so now those gas storage facilities are filled up to almost 85 percent. and that is the goal that the government had set itself for much later this year. then also, laws are in place and processes have been sped up to help new infrastructure project get underway, which means that germany is building a several l n. d terminals and gas can flow through these ellen di terminals as early as this winter add to that also those financial relief packages to have already been launched. and the 3rd one is underway. so the idea there is of course, to help german consumers, but also companies hope essentially with the soaring entity prices. energy policy has obviously been a huge priority for the government in recent months. give us a sense of what the most controversial points have been, and more importantly will the government reach compromise at the end of this meeting on no decisions are to be expected. at

the end of this meeting, this meeting really is a retreat, where people can sit together, also have a glass of wine or a glass of water and discuss ideas and topics. because of course, this is a coalition that's made up of 3 completely different parties, especially when it comes to tackling issues such as the economy. and this is something where the energy market and the economy is desperately in need of quick mechanisms term that that would help german companies and also consumers get through this winter. but the energy and prices are soaring and all our shows. the chancellor stressed again that quick mechanisms are needed and we are hearing 1st signs that the government is even willing to think about a cap on electricity prices and possibly even on and gas prices. the energy meat ministers of it, you are going to come together next week and that topic will be on the agenda. and

we're hearing that germany is showing a willingness to give up its reluctance to that cap on gas prices that and that would of course, mean that to germany is looking for a european solution. if others go along than germany might follow. he w nina has a thank you so much and with that you are up to date coming out next close that looks at the political see change the chile is experiencing under its need. left is to president. i'm and you could see mckinnon involved the whole day. thanks for watching t w ah ah ah,
