showing up existing defenses and building new ones. with huge areas, still submerged authorities, a warning even more water is surging down river from the north of even without ag bonnie, a baby urban doors that more water is expected to flow, disagree with what it is we've 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 ammunition can make a long push as buckeye, but that will be an uphill battle. authorities are 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. 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 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. well out a deal, sharon is the country director at the i'd organization care international in pakistan, elia. i asked him how bad the situation is in the affected areas. this situation is extremely challenging and i would say like, i get getting more and more difficult each because in fall part of sin and some parts of the loose on the water is still coming in. and the moon from season is not over yet. there still few rooms which had expected in the month of september. so as an advocate in like, you know, as a minute to look,

i'm still worried that there could be more damages, which will happen, will be coming rain. but at the same time, when we speak with the effect of communities on grown and stuff, and they will thing to the tech to come in, we do hear that is still a large population which is affected. and they are in dire need of immediate support and on the shelter in terms of food on food item. women need like support rates and addition facilities, ministry, hygiene, and transitional, shorter, which are required on an urgent business. you've just been talking about the desperately needed. i said that these people in the affected areas need, i'd relief as, as i have done, is starting to arrive in the country, but these floods, you know, they began weeks ago so. so what's taken so long for i to get de this bird has been of very massive, i would say,

and it is making the logistical operation read each other and get us the rewards which are sort of inaccessible because of everything. and then some roads are washed, the dishes are washed in the so logistically the this operation and exceed each other ending and difficult. we're not saying 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 are not talking about a small number. 33000000 people who are affected out of this crisis. and that could be like an, or a population of a country. so in focused on we are talking about one 3rd of the population is still under water and suffering from this huge challenge of. and because of lake and the nature and because of the climate change, the school challenge is faced by the country and did a still a large population that needs to be, sir, is requires a lot of investment. and so quite a lot of time, it requires

a lot of lake and support. and then as soon as these areas become accessible, more organized, they should like us, are reaching out to effective communities to provide them immediate relief in this challenging. so that was a deal surprise, the country director of the 8 organization care international in pakistan, speaking to us about these devastating floods a deal. we really thank you for your time to russia's war in ukraine. now where the situation around europe's largest nuclear power plant is causing deep warry, the un has sent a delegation of experts to this apparition plan to assess whether it's been compromised. they've reported that the physical integrity of the plant has been quote, violated the inspectors to the facility, which has sustained damage from shilling. several members of the team now plan to stay on the russian occupied side that despite reports of the fighting in and

around parisha d w. young phillips schultz is following the story for us from keith. he is what he told us earlier about the inspection teams assessment of this nuclear facility. we only know what agency had grossey sets 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 is 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 beds. the ukrainian side has repeatedly accused the russian side that they don't give her

excess to the team to real when it comes to some very important structures at the plant, bud grossey has repeatedly emphasized that they were able to see what they wanted to see at the plant yon phillip sholtes, there will finance ministers from the g. 7 group of industrialized nations have plates to impose a price cap on russian oil. now they aim to limit russia's revenues and its ability to fund the war in ukraine. he is what german finance minister kristian ledner had to say. these are pies or by grants, if it was at this price cap on russian oil exports is designed to reduce putins revenues. to close a major source of funding for this war of aggression. at the same time, he wants to contain increases in global energy prices, which will minimize inflation globally. yet the inflexion global for more on this now i'm joined by anastasio esthetic who is assistant professor of finance at the

hospice school of business in berkeley. she's also a co founder of the pressure group economists for ukraine. welcome to d. w. the german finance minister, who we just heard from says the price cat will hit russian income and limit inflation is a right? yes, that's the hope. and of course, the deciding factor here will be how $97.00 countries will react and how many of them will maintain the race. and what we're seeing there, i think it's quite promising. so for example, last week, when russia and indonesia, a long term contract and might well at a steep disc, 30 percent discount. and indonesia did turn that down because of fears of secondary sanctions from countries like the u. s. and that is going to be the main leper of the g $7.00 price gap is to get broader corporation. ok, you just mentioned the us now it's banned russian oil imports. and the you is going

to reduce the import by 90 percent by the end of this year. so how is this price got going to hit russia? if indeed it does come into effect? that is a very correct and important point to keep in mind that the g 7 countries are not the ones who are going to be buying russian oil long term. they've either banded already, they're reducing it or they've committed to nearly batting it in the coming months . i'm g 7 announcing that they're going to be implementing more coordinating and price counties. not about those countries telling russia we're going to pay less for well, it's really about those countries to the u, the u. s. u k and the members of the g 7 and other allies saying we're going to use our bargaining power. whether that's in shipping, whether that's an insurance, whether that the secondary sanctions to bring about a price count on the global market. now, you've made some important points, and of course russia says it will simply not sell oil to countries who impose a cap on the price of it. soil. how do you see this playing out?

yes, so we definitely see that russia is ready to limit its own experts, right. like we're seeing with natural gas in playing around with the shut off shut on several times. of course, that depends on how many countries are going to be going along with the price gap. if it's a sufficient number cannot afford to switch out it's well, i'm to everybody. and again, here on the implementation of the price is going to be really important. we start today as an announcement that will be happening in some form. we don't have any details about how exactly is going to, i'm going to work. and here, the important thing will be to calibrate that number of the price gap, for example, to take advantage of all of the bargaining power that g 7 other countries, but not to go overboard to not to have a number that's too low. and so that is not attractive to other countries. so given simplified exam, we know that i'm really sorry. i missed it. we've run out of time. it's

a really fascinating things that you've had to say. we really appreciate your time . that's on a study of 50 of the economists for your crime. please do. come back on now. sure. now we've got some breaking news related to all this what we've been talking about and that's energy rushes, state and gas, producer. gas prom has announced a complete whole to supplies flowing through the key north stream one pipeline. now, this route had been temporary closed for what moscow has called on scheduled maintenance. russia says more work is required on the pipeline and given no time frame for when just supplies will resume and of course we will keep following the story. to other news. now, police in argentina have arrested a man for allegedly attempting to assassinate the vice president. christina fernandez, the kitchener authorities have identified him as a 35 year old brazilian citizen. now the shocking incident was captured by tv
