[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah ah, this is dw news life from berlin. a 3rd of pakistan is on the water. the monsoon floods are the worst in 3 decades. the government is cooling, the devastation mind boggling. its blaming climate change caused by other countries

. also coming up, iraqi cleric walked out outside at orders, his followers to end all protests, not to more than 20 die in clashes in baghdad. we'll speak to an analyst to find out what sparked the unrest and the war and ukraine has traumatized millions of children. we visit a summer camp trying to give young people and their families a break from the horrors with ah, i many groups mckinnon. welcome to the show. 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 now over 33000000 people are affected. this map shows the vast areas impacted by the flood,

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. philip, who are these prices of increased a lot because of the floods, but 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 the old prices of w. i back 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 have ruined gent. you as a journalist in as lama bad, and i asked him earlier for more on the situation across pakistan. the relentless agency than in market on have to give didn't method destruction more than 1100 have been died. and could you give me an artifact and they are in need of help. if that happens, road rigid and golf and millions who have been destroyed and have lost their likely have lost their lives. and they are living under the open sky. is the baby again? i still have not read department in the previous part of the country and are living boards and i don't mean across the board availability be affected, but the situation more on expected. i had big learning and actually emergency that was journalist harun ginger and as lama bad. now our research about khan is with the n g a washer aid. and he spoke to us from

the flooded area and send province. i asked him what conditions a like there we actually went to see the people did the news by the flood. and as we saw was actually because of letting people have their bank living on the banks of the can as and drain. that driver proven and wait a few of them. so people are living there and they are dependent on it for almost everything because they leave without you know, much of the stuff you don't taking much from their homes. so the, you know, they're looking for a shelter, food, water education. we did see some tend to be provided by the government in the media and who being graded by some of the agencies. but i think the critical issues are working in taishan because without that people living in to get the. busy you know,

the probability of getting dead here diseases, you know, and even infection growth to 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 to wait and this is the, you know, the way it will work because these are the very basic human meat that we're talking about. so if the unit for that at the moment, i mean there is nothing else we can think about. yes, the roads are accessible because it hasn't been rain for a couple of days. but what my students tending, and this is a said that it was district focus on. so we have, you know, the a, b and 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 fund for not just this is where those who are recovery 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 if, even if you come in and see which is you know, better off than focused on economic leads before we never to do such a huge disaster because it's affecting all the way from the key not right. we're sitting in, they've seen them from, you know, just on to you know, to, to, to the restaurant. but for me to take the board and $30000000.00 people being affected and what they want those any government would be able to cope with that. i think that's what it's struggling with right now. our job con of was

a thank you so much for your time today. thank you. iraqi cleric knocked out al serra has called on his followers to end all protests in the iraq he capital. he apologized to the iraqi people for the violence after fighting with rival shiite forces rate for a 2nd day in and around baghdad, sprains and at least $23.00 people have been killed since crashes erupted on monday . ah flashes in the heart of baghdad for a 2nd day. supporters of influential shia cleric and politician mac tada asa dia attacked the green zone again, exchanging firewood security forces. one day after he declared he was quitting politics. they're heavily armed and frustrated with the political deadlock. it says that they have cotton woolen, there is no way off the reforms. we asked them to park down what they

didn't know what kind of gone they did, nothing but some of that cold. and now we don't tell them it's sad maley dish should have so it out that we only had to ask for a good life to ask for schools for our children with access to health care. we won't dignity stonewall. google. jo dot good are what? oh, on monday crowd stormed a government palace in the green zone, home to diplomatic buildings, leaving dozens of the day support is dead. the clashes with 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 to televised speech to order his supporters to return home and apologized to the iraqi people for the bloodshed and on the market that got many onset his coal immediately and began leaving the green zone as instructed. and

joining 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 iraqi 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 post this also violently. and of course he knows very well that even be rocky state with its security institutions is obliged to protect the green zone. 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 your response to the violence that wrapped it on the streets of baghdad. but also probably 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 protesters to withdraw from the streets of 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 stage 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 subject 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

unsuccessfully solve that say in the last to 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, but 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 mac cutter? ultra, and his support says, what is it that they want to achieve in iraq? most of us are, is a very interesting character, iraq politics, probably one of the most interesting characters in 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 who 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 is 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 populace 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. thank very much for speaking with us. thank you. again, let's take

a look at some of the other stories making headlines. police and madagascar have confirmed that officers killed 19 people in a crowd of protesting the kidnapping of an albino child. official say armed protest stormed a local police station. many people living with albinism face violence in the region. australia has all some of the wealth tech join for details of how they plan to stamp out child abuse material on that platforms. apple matter. microsoft omega and snap chats risk fines. they do not comply 1st requests on the new online safety regulations introduced last year. the ukraine says it's broken through enemy lines of several points near the southern city of has on its bouncing to campaign to retake territory occupied by russia. the push comes after weeks of preparation. ukraine has been attacking russia supply routes in an attempt to

isolate troops in the area. russia captured us on early on in the war and spoke to d. w correspondent young phillip shots in keep earlier, and i asked him for the latest on ukraine's counter offensive. the fighting a so currently focusing on the region around the occupied city of a fair sun. officials claim that they were able to break through several defense lines. now the reports about heavy fighting in the town of noble kafka, which is about 30 kilometers east of the city of hare sun. those reports cannot be confirmed at the moment, but what is for sure is that ukrainian troops are still far away from the occupied city of harrison itself. and officials have already asked ukrainians to be patient . can you tell us a little bit about the russians response must go claims that

the offensive has failed, that ukraine has suffered, i losses the russians have increased their attacks on several other regions in the east and the south east of the country. in the past days, this is certainly an attempt to force ukrainian troops to stay in these regions and prevent them from being deployed to support the counter offensive around harrison. all right, the de leon phillip charlotte's reporting from keith sanky. now the war has forced millions of ukrainians from their homes, many children who have lost everything. a group of volunteers in the south to set up a summer camp. and of course, it's supposed to be a place of fun and safety, but as dw mathias bellinger reports now the horror of the war is never far away. i yadda is 11 years old to day. it's

a birthday like no other to see what i did. 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 a summer camp for kids and families. we've lost their hope. refugees from embattled occupied areas, yadda and his mother fled her son, which is occupied by the russians. that was to see a new issue. the russians were standing were with tanks, garcia, and next to the tanks where people unable to live. and then they took people away, lies 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 x. 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 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 domain. dear. the organizational lexi olenick, everybody 'cause him. uncle yosh, so young. he wanted to create a space of solace if only temporary life. the war is always close. he remembers the 7 year old girl named marcia, whilst him to bring her friend. the camp was full, so he told her the friend could come 2 weeks later. sheet is 3 masa and one day she was sitting there in the hammock, crying up with i approached her and asked to blush, what's wrong?

and she said this real quick when you said my friend, whom he didn't take i said, yes, i remember she's coming in 2 weeks. and she said one of them, she's not coming any more yet the news you have to me when i understand it's not my fault, but she would still be alive for many stories like this. but uncle josha and the other volunteers try as much as they can to distract everybody with outdoor activities. it's the birthday boys turned to climb the rocks yard. it makes it to the toss my problem, which can i did get them done with that victory. at least today, when so much in his life remains uncertain. sure of the lie 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 walla. and then nighttime comes, and of course there's a camp fire, just like some break, except that this is not just a break from school. but from a war the germany and france have warned against the european union ban on tourist visas for russian saying that it would be counter productive. you foreign ministers are discussing the issue at a meeting in prague, but eastern countries on the baltic states back such a ban saying, but travel to the you is a privilege, not a right. they also say, issuing these as to russians could be a security risk, t w 0 rossetto reports now from estonia, surrounded by books, daniel yardley cowski likes to spend his free time in the university library. for a couple of months,

as the russian student has only been reading books in their original estonian, so he can learn the language more quickly. when i show a boy at 1st was incredibly difficult. i had to look up every other word he hadn't of i needed one or 2 hours for each chapter or by the end of my 1st book. you know what i understood to content quite well if looking from wouldn't. danny ill yearly coughs get has spent the last year and, and half in estonia, 2nd biggest city dar till he's only allowed to leave in estonia, thanks to his student visa. but this will expire soon, and in accordance with new regulations, will not be extended. then daniel yearly kosky will have to return to russia, but that's the problem. the 19 year old was politically active in his home town of scoff in russia. he volunteered to work as original staff member for opposition leader alix c. no, via me with them when you noticed for us were out of for the day at the school,

i was frequently threatened for doing so. welfare for the people demanded that i saw a politically active her, but i thought that was wrong. i didn't a lemon amberlynn and i couldn't just be quiet the march and watch how people russia were being treated unfairly issue or just through the war this when the situation worse and for him, daniel left russia and to went to neighboring estonia, did an apprenticeship, and enrolled in the university, they will to looked a lot different a year and a half ago russian tourists used to stream into talon. unlike today, since the start of the war is tonia no longer gives tourist visas to russians and even has recently a note all visits for russians which were issued based on in authorities for the e, u shing, and area here in talent. there are now far, few russian tourists, however they can still enters sonia with these us issued by all the easy members that are valid for the entire shang and area. and that's just was the estonian

government wants to avoid together with other bolt countries that also share a land border with russia is tonya, is demanding and general entry band into the you for all russians for security purposes. so what basically the rest of europe right now is expecting is for us to ensure the security of the whole. shank, an area by a handful of countries, a part from security is tony also has moral objections to allowing russians to go on vacation in the west. they do not bear bear legal responsibility, but they still bear a vase moral responsibility because of their passivity. gibbs alleged to my zation to the regime on their prospect as they are now right now, literally committing but for the people who are actively fighting the kremlin policy and are therefore in danger. exceptions are made. they can apply for political asylum in estonia as daniel yardley kosky has. and your son that is, i hope that i get,

it will be able to stay here at the bus. we're going back is out of the question for me and then you wouldn't until then the young russian hopes to use the next couple of months to throw the integrate into his stony and society. and for more, we're going to speak to the dollar is alexandra phenomena who joins us now from prague. heil example. now you foreign ministers are discussing these are restrictions for russian travelers to day. tell us what like these come out of those talks. well, we expect a foreign ministers to reach an agreement to political agreement in principle, to slow visa processes for russian citizens without banning them completely. and that is, of course, such a ban is something that some member states are demanding. for instance, their check republic. the host of this meeting and we spoke with their check prime minister, and he told us that even though our, the check

a government would like to see a complete ban on tourist visas for russians. day would be still happy with her a political agreement to suspend a visa agreement, where the russian federation, making it more expensive, and more difficult for russian citizens to obtain a visa. however, we also have to note that depression is still growing. that discussion is staying here with apparently more and more member, a state of the european union saying that it cannot be that to russian man can still visit europe and say however, take a stroll in european cities and enjoy the sun on european beaches. one whaler ukrainian man has to stay in the country and have to fight for their freedom on the battlefield. now, all thrown proud to day ear defense ministers, or have been meeting talking about how the, how they can better help ukraine. what can we expect from that meeting?

so the press conference after the meeting is still going on, but we expect them to, to say that a day wants to explore whether it is possible to establish a higher level training mission for the ukrainian army. we know that the ukrainians are asking on that for that. they want their medic said, their snipers, their d minor is to be trained in europe. of course, they are suffering huge casualties on the battlefield, so they need new soldiers. however, such a emission on european soil would be a 1st one. so that is may be why are the discussions to day took longer than actually expected? he delivers alexander phenomena in prague. thank you so much for that. you are watching d. w. news coming up next and d, w, and use asia. whether you energy more aid for, i've got
