to get even more drastic already some the 33000000 people have been affected, and more than 1200 have died. oh, this flood, but a town in the southern province of sinned 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 of evie but not ag. bonnie b. b. i was told that more water is expected to flow, disagree with what that is. we've been working to make and reinforces dikes since early morning, gonna do a lot. we have been doing not to leave this down that i we will save our down this academic along which has been tonight. 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. made 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. will go to islamabad now and speak to ideal sure. as the country director at the ide organization care international in pakistan. welcome to d w. what do you hear from the affected areas? how bad the situation and what are you most worried about?

the situation is extremely challenging and i would say that gets getting more and more difficult each the because in south part of sin and some parts of the list on the water is still coming in and the mournful season is not over yet. there still few rains which are expected in the month of september. so as an it couldn't like, you know, as a minute didn't work. i'm still worried that there could be more damages which will happen with becoming green. but they're the same time when we speak with the effective communities on ground and our staff and their with thing to them. and we do that is still a large population that is affected. and they are in dire need. those images support in terms of shelter, in terms of food on food item. women need like support lights and addition facilities, ministry, hygiene, and transitional. sure to rhetoric, vote on an urgent business. you've just been talking about the desperately needed i

that these people in the affected areas need aid relief as, as i understand is starting to arrive in the country. but these floods, you know, they began weeks ago so. so what's taken so long for a to get there? this part has been a very massive i would say, and it is making the logistical operation very good us rewards which are sort of inaccessible because of heavy and then a wash to the bridges on wants to me. so logistically the, this operation is extremely challenging and difficult. i would not say in all parts of the country, but at least in some parts of the country just in taking the time to reach out to these effected population. the other thing which we all need to understand, we're not talking about a small number, 33000000 people who are affected out of this crisis. and that could be like, you know, a population of

a country. so in focus on we are talking about one 3rd of the population is still under water and suffering from those who challenge and because of the nature and because of the climate change. this whole challenge is faced by the country and did a still a large population that needs to be. so it's quite a lot of investment. it's of quite a lot of time. it requires a lot of legal support. and then as soon as these 80 has become accessible, more organized like us are reaching out to effective communities to provide them imaging relief in this challenging situation. that was a deal harassed the country director at the organization care international into pakistan. speaking to us about these devastating floods a deal, we really thank you for your time will go to russia's war in ukraine. now, where the situation around europe's largest nuclear power plant is causing deep

warri. did you? when has sent a delegation of experts to this operational plan to assess whether it's being compromised. now they've reported that the physical integrity of the plant has been quote, violated the inspectors to the facility which is sustained damage from shilling. several members of the team they plan to stay on the russian occupied side. despite report of further fighting in and around our corresponded young philip shop is following the story from us for us from keith. he is what he told us about the inspection teams assessment of the facility. we only know what agency had grossey said yesterday after he visited the plant, he said he was worried. he is worried and he will continue to be worried. he also said there was evidence that the physical integrity of the plan to was violated. of course, we don't know yet what this means. so regarding possible risks of radiation leaks

and so on. assessment of a nuclear power plant as an extremely difficult task, especially in a war zone. and i doubt that we will get a lot of details at the press conference later today. what we know is that the ukrainian side has repeatedly accused the russian side that they don't give her access to the team to read when it comes to some very important just structures at the plant. but grossey has repeatedly emphasized that they were able to see what they wanted to see at the plant. john phillip sholtes, there will the international atomic energy agency says the physical integrity of the nuclear plant has been violated. earlier i asked elena, sock of her from the vienna center for disarmament and non proliferation. what exactly that might mean?

i could manage things, but one thing that i wanted to know from the start 1st will be a new clip hoffman and he's in extremely to watch for the in addition to nuclear reactors, it also houses a storage of the a dry storage of the spent nuclear fuel and many other jewelry facilities and buildings, even before this visit or a mission. and we knew that it was some damage including to the roof of the spent fuel storage facility to some larry buildings and some of the backup equipment. but what exactly they found there in addition to some of them, no damage. we don't know yet, and it probably wasn't possible to assess it in the short that they have there for 5 hours. that's where there is it. yeah,

i mean you've just been filling out how big the plant is and, and yet all the reactors and everything in it. and you're saying it's basically unrealistic that the team, how small it is, can really get a proper picture of the damage at the plant that is to, in the for 5 hours. but if you remember or is it some part of the team remained and they fit as 5, and they can team, they're working on assessment. i would wait until the group returns back to vienna and the director general or the said that there will be a report from the mission we should think about mission as this visit by the head and, and the largest team. the mission is really a work that needs for a long time,

and particularly given the size of the facility. and speaking of this mission, ukraine's casting doubts on the mission, it's saying russian, the russians are only letting the un monitors see what they want them to say. do you share that concern as well? well, it's obviously in the facility under the ration control and they probably are showing certain things that they would not like to the mission to see. but nonetheless, i think that there are still few things that there was an agreement about. they need to check some safety and security equipment. and i hope the national proceed was checking about. there will be communicating with the staff. and even though there are reports that they will be obviously coming in the presence of the russian personnel there and none the less, you can probably make

a good assessment about the stress level and the functioning of the personnel. so that's another big part of the mission is not only to check the damage, not only to check the safety and security equipment, whether it's functioning, how much it was damaged, and whether it's use probably, but also speak. and then the status. we remember these are the korean experts that are working and car. ok again. so we've got time for but i really want to thank you for your insights today. that was in a sort of with the vienna center for the disarmament disarmament. a non proliferation. thank you. very much let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines today. finance minister from the g 7 group of industrialized nations have pledged to impose a price cap on russian oil. they aim to limit russia's revenues and ability to fund its war and ukraine. moscow has responded by saying it will stop selling oil to
