ah, a special look at a special country loan from above. start september 16th on d, w. ah, ah, this is deed of the news live from berlin, pakistan, braces for more devastating floods. rivers have again burst their banks, aid agencies are racing to bring food and medicine to the millions affected by the weeks of heavy rain. and un inspectors are worried about the safety of europe's biggest nuclear power station. experts plan to stay at the plant in russian

occupied ukraine despite more reports of fighting ah unexpired. welcome to the program. 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 surges down major rivers from the north. already some 33000000 people have been affected and more than 1200 have died. oh, 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. if any of the variables dolder 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 our down. it ag analicia, can you make a long pushing on but on 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 they're 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 have in displeased 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. why it's cross over now to islamabad. were a reef jabber can, is standing by for us. he is the pakistan country director for the non governmental organization, water aid. you just came back sir, from the affected areas in the sind province in santa some video footage that we're going to show while we're talking can, can you tell us about the situation there? well, the situation is there to, we have a, you know, flooding that came in. some, some people are middle still within the religious or there is, as you can see, to see if you have gone to the embankments, all the roads, whichever hired around it, i didn't define and they are now living there without any, you know,

any life support systems the because the left with almost nothing you can see, you know, on, in this picture there's a long day will come with was there the clothing and some of the basic stuff they could take with them. and what do you also see now? it is actually, it is also converting into a huge miss basement emergency as well because hundreds of thousands of people are on the move. this, you know, millions being stranded in their own really is there a hundreds of 1000 who have come out to cities to do whatever it is drain and they can, they can find on an empty building. they can find their house still. so that's the situation and then there is also a 3rd emergency which is the public health emergency because the lawrenceville arrives in malaria and, and condra and you know, and entry and then what related diseases. so we're looking at multiple disasters, multiple emergencies. yes. the created by of fluids and, and climate change. but i think if you know the scale of it is huge, i mean,

it's beyond the capacity of, you know, even any country or dead, you know, if it had fear something like this, it would not be possible for it to book it. and you're talking about the risks of, of spreading water born diseases. and we're just looking at those pictures tense, lined up along a body of water from which i assume people are getting drinking water and also using a sewer. is that, is that part of the problem you, you know, you can get a separation. exactly and, and, and, and it also even, you know, this is people displeased, but those who are living middle villages, they also don't have good water sources contaminating. so whatever the water source there is, even the dry land is actually contaminated by the flood waters because it has contaminated groundwater also. and that's something the focus on focusing on with these people, you know, to make sure that they have clean drinking water to make sure they have literally that, especially for the lesson become such an important issue. let me just ask you quickly . aid relief is arriving in the country,

but flood started weeks ago. what took so long? well, i think it came in bits and pieces actually. and also i think we didn't realize the gravity of the country didn't realize the gravity of the situation till it all came together because we had 1st floors in. well, actually before this we had the heat. we're so people were dying because of heat. and then we had flooding in the south and then in the west, and then we had floating in the north. so i think the community effect once it started coming in, that's when people started realizing that it's a huge disaster. so yeah, it took us awhile. but i think now they are, you know, the government and international community has started. somebody's born, it's much, much smaller than what is needed, but some it is now coming in, although it just trickling in at the moment. okay, thank you for your time. a reef jabber can from the end geo water, a pakistan. thank you for reading. let's take

a look now at some of the other stores making headlines. a military court in me and mar has said things are unsung suit she to 3 years in jail with hard labor. the closed winter court reportedly found the ousted leader guilty of electoral fraud in the 2020 elections when her party won a landslide victory. she's already serving a 17 year sentence. police have arrested a man for supposedly trying to assassinate argentina's vice president will. one of the footage shows him pulling a gun on christina fernandez, but no shots were fired. president alberto fernandez, unrelated called the most serious event in the country since it's return to democracy for the migration. the american president joe biden has hit out against his predecessor ahead of key mid term election in a speech from philadelphia biden warned that donald trump, in his support is represented an extremism that threatens us democracy. he called

on all americans to reject political violence. chang do is the latest chinese city to be locked down as beijing pursues as 0 coven policy, 157 new cases were confirmed in the city of 21000000 people on the day of locked down. mass testing has begun with lengthy lines forming a test centers un inspectors say the physical integrity of ukraine's operation nuclear nuclear power plant has been quote, violated raising concerns about its safety. independent experts have toured the russian occupied facility, which had been damaged nipped by nearby shelling 5 of its 6 reactors are now offline. several of the inspectors plan to stay on the site, despite more reports of fighting in and around separation. experts from the international atomic energy agency being shown around the separation nuclear power

plant by russian energy officials. on thursday, they made a 1st tour of the key areas they wanted to see with ukraine and russia. blaming each other for shelling near the facility, the agencies had said the physical integrity of the plant had been violated. and he emphasized that their mission is far from over. we are not going anywhere the i e a is now there, he's at the plan and he's not moving. it's going to stay. busy there we're going to have a continued presence there at, at the plant. some of my experts are still the head of the power company that runs the plants and they are working to restart the reactor and expressed hope that the un mission could help would believe it would be like her, my empirical. so this mission for us is just to did militarize, the tutorials approaches claypole clamp and surround and ira,

if this mission helps to do that, then it will be success. in the short term d, i. e, a plans to keep a group of experts at the plans for the next several days to continue their assessment of the damage already done to the facility. a dangerous unprecedented mission in the midst of a war zone. and he w, correspond mathias billing is in his operational force that she is. can you clarify for us the un teams assessment of the state of the nuclear plant? no, i can't because they haven't released it yet. there will be a press conference later today, but they haven't said much about that. they've just said that they are there and they want to stay there. we don't know what they found. what i know is that there were some videos, i'm sorry. what we know is that we've seen some videos of them walking around there . we've seen some things that we shouldn't see at the nuclear power plant,

for example, military trucks stored inside one of the holes. there are some like very small indications we've also heard from ukrainian sources, but again, that's only one side that's not confirmed by the i a that, that there are, that dared did. they didn't get access to some of the very crucial places. but again, this is something that needs to be confirmed by the iaa later today. they will have a press conference in the evening. and i suppose we'll be hearing about how much they were able to talk to the ukrainians who operate the facility without russians present. and going to work, but let me ask you something else. the i e. a chief inspector says there will be a continued presence at the facility. do we know anything more about that plan and how that is going to work? the idea has been around for a few days and he said that before he wants that those who stayed behind part of the mission left already yesterday night, they didn't. they only spent a few hours,

including the director who was already on his way back to vienna. or, or already in vienna, we don't know that. but what, what should we know is that a few of the expert stayed behind that need to do a more thorough assessment. there are lots of things to assess right now. damage done to the facility, how the security systems are affected, working conditions, hopefully talk to the, to the ukrainian stuff, et cetera. but they also things i need to be monitored long term maintenance isn't being properly. that's what these engineers were left recently told us maintenance isn't being done properly. so there, there might be some consequences from that. so they need to be there. and of course the shelling continues. also, new damage can occur that they cannot establish now, but that might occur later. and that might have grave consequences that the word needs to be warned about. and then something needs to be done about ideally. so the idea was to let them stay there, whether this is possible or not, it is impossible to say now it's, i think he's just raised the stakes by saying we're going to stay ok. des mathias
