i've been fizzle and welcome. after weeks of extraordinary monsoon, rain and devastating floods across pakistan, the humanitarian crisis there is expected to get even more drastic. southern pakistan is preparing to be inundated again as a wave of water searches down major rivers from the north. already some 33000000 people have been affected in more than 1200. have died this flood, but the town in the southern province of sind is already preparing for more shoring up existing defences and building new ones with huge areas, still submerged authorities. a warning even more water is surging down river from the north abbey. but not ag. bonnie: a b, b, i have been told that more water is expected to flow, disagree with. what did we have been working to make and reinforces dikes since early morning dawning it up?

we have been told not to leave this down that i, we will save down dead ag ammunition can make a long push out, but i but that will be an uphill battle. authorities, a trying to evacuate people before the new flood waters hit. millions of other pakistan is have already fled their homes now their left scrambling for food and shelter like here in the northern punjab region. 8 efforts all across the country have been hampered by the sheer scale of the destruction and extent of the need. we wanna, we are in the space by the water for the past 15 days. we have lost everything. but until today we had received nothing but with more flooding, expected in the south. and more rain forecast for september pakistan could soon be facing an even deeper humanitarian crisis. as if sharah

see the pakistan director of the agency is lanet relief. shad what he sing in areas worst hits by the floods. well, the situation is, is really was even worse than the expectations of we have not seen so stable for our mega is our stay, never recent history. 4.2000000 people are directly affected. it is reaching to the people, but it's the aide is me good. that is sources are tiny. so still there are millions people who are left behind because the problem is that they're out of notice sources that are sources are started to come in after the a, b, m on tuesday. but still there is a huge number which is not covered which has not reached anderson is cerise against time. and the situation is, is really bad and the organizations are trying their best. but no one has that

associates guarantee. do not have the capacity involved with this situation. so 1000000 that help less and even with the emergency, the things that are moving very slowly and i'm more worried about that. it covers affairs which is which is coming. i heard, and it will be a big challenge from, from what you say, how, how much was, can the situation get situation is there is actually worst i can see the indications that it's not going to be improved very quickly. and especially in this state, if the humanitarian assistance cannot reach very quickly, it can turn into another catastrophic because of the slow humanitarian delivery. because the flood has already domesticated at the place, it has destroyed the livelihood assets. it has destroyed the houses. people are already displayed, and if the humanitarian assistance has not these as

a judge and will become mod was like we are on the ground and start started of a response on 3rd august. so far really to 30000 people and we are scaling up. but we have our data sources and the, the challenge is to reach to the millions of the people and the usual big humanitarian actors are not seen. so they also need to scale up very quickly. the national philanthropy is national organizations, they are responding. but if they wait, good, my years are not, it can immediately, things will be, will be was. and it will be another catastrophe. so as if, if, if you are finally getting through, if agencies are finally getting through to the people completely cut off and the international community is responding well, where is the lack of aid coming from? is the government not doing enough the dead, the situation,

this unprecedented moonstone brands. it never happened in the last 30 years. this amount of that and then the month of spell was so long. so even if there was some repaired mass or some disaster management frameworks of the go men, these veins, this situation is unprecedented. if they go like this 13rd of august on is in need of humanitarian aid, it's effected by the flood is 4200000. it's almost like area of the united kingdom. there does is a $118.00 districts are destroyed. 25000000 people are impacted by this situation. so that disaster is mega is a huge saw. and then you know, this disaster has started in the beginning of august the end of july. but media just took it, took that tension quite recently. so when media attention and moment up august on line b, then i could see some panic,

some sense of what again see and know i'm in the situation has almost out of control. so you need a lot of resources very quickly. there is no issue there that capacity on the ground, the organizations the government can deliver. but the problem is that his sources, legacy lima, leave large the appeal of the 1000000 in beginning of august. and now with this situation, we ream, increase it to 30000000, and we are aiming to initial half of the 1000000 full response and recovery. but so far i would appeal is just 25 percent funded. so that's the situation. the main problem is the funding. so at the moment the donor go minutes, they just started on saying some of the, some of the assistance, but just van it will reach and read that. is it enough or not? because this is the loss of $1000000000.00 in front of judge people's is people

alive, really, it's the embed on the life of the people that has, which are effected. they're also hurt by the climate did phenomena like an april there was a drought in the video, maybe with responding to that road. and in july is that mega flood unprecedented. i was a laudable and disaster. they're obviously like a you heard of from as much to receive from the agency is lamb relief. thank you very much for filling us in on the catastrophic situation there in pakistan. thank you. you as president biden has given a speech on prime time t v telling vote. as the former president donald trump and his supporters threatened that democracy. the midterm elections are in a couple of months. they'll determine who controls the house of representatives and senate. in his address bite and accused trump supporters of undermining the rule of law and rolling back the rights and freedoms of citizens. biden's democrats were only narrowly ahead in opinion polls, but issues like inflation and abortion have up ended the political plainfield,
