but the country's largest charity, the 80 foundation, has urged the government to reverse a ban on many international n g o's to allow them to help. one of those working to get aid to those in need is karita biddle keela of the united nations children's fund. unicef, she's in crater in baluchistan province, the worst affected area in pakistan. i asked her to describe the situation on the ground. yes, so as you mentioned, there are millions of people who are being affected and we stayed up for others who are still capital from late because of the lack of boxes where i've been able to reach some of them. and we also moving to those areas with if you do the past few days, some roads have been, you know, repaired by the switch. and is it even worse? because now the impact is there with the health situation deteriorating. we are having a lot of cases with diarrhea and now i just received information from the field doctor. they are seeing a lot of skin diseases because they throw water that he's being provided. if you

are saving for cooking or drinking indeed. so you don't have enough water for washing. that's why you need now he's trying to reach those people with treating what they're by this kid is huge. and we need support to pull or to, well we have what sort of support, what needs to happen to get this aide to where it's really needed. and yes, so what is required for now, and if for some boys shelter and they'll also ask you if what is the don't going back? food is the number one and how so that we able to save lives. we have a lot of pregnant women and it is estimated that to thousands of them are going today, but in the next few weeks. so we need to be able to help those so that we don't lose their lives. and also we need to be able to, you know, treat and do, immunize she drain because of the same situation. most of the

destroyed into health center has destroyed. so if we are not careful and if we don't really do act fast, there's a chance that we can people can get in the die because they don't have enough support. busy some of cold on the government to lift the ban on some international n g o's, which they say of stifled relief efforts. is the government doing all it can in your opinion? as far as we are getting enough support, as i say we, i would feel uni sample and where we can with the government. well, in order to reach it does or need as most what, what sort of challenges is this for you though? it sounds absolutely monumental. yes our, the challenge is a big because like a festival, it's cause this year number perfect. it is huge of that it's 3 median in the country and in battle just are not on is that i too close to 3 medium. so and then

we're having issues with access because of the roads and bridges are been washed away. and also if those are, and also the functioning units that i keep house and as i've been destroyed in medicine. so these are the main challenges that we are facing back to we can really diverse this tuition if we get a bigger support that to approach a day at the same time, to reach more people to you from ms. bell killer from you know, so thank you very much for your time and being on d. w today. thank you to lay hands are heading to the ballot box today to vote on whether to approve a new constitution. its changes would include far reaching political and social reforms and more independence for indigenous people. but despite an overwhelming majority of to lions previously voting to rewrite the constitution, polls indicate that the no campaign is on track to win. final scenes from the

referendum campaign. these people are urging to lay hands to vote yes, but nobody very little really for the environment for children, for indigenous peoples, women's rights and for a country to be more respectful of human rights for every one in the region. with the new draft constitution recognizes indigenous peoples and offers them more autonomy, it would create universal service as for health care and education and pensions. and it would fully legalize abortion, which is now heavily restricted the present constitution dates back to the 1970s. when dictator algo sto, pin o'shea ruled, it was drawn up to be unabashedly pro business and market driven. despite widespread dissatisfaction with the existing set of laws many july and seem to have cooled to the new replacement. experts say there has been a significant dis information campaign,

but many people also fear market instability and worry about how to pay for new benefits. it doesn't look just so you, although no the crowd gathered here tonight represents many different people in our society who feel threatened by these new constitution. yes, the no movement is white and a doesn't come from a specific political party or a political elite. you even want to know if the new constitution fails at the ballot box. politicians may have a go at reforming it. or there may be another constitutional convention to draw up a new new document. d w, correspond benyamin. otherwise goober is chillin and is watching this very closely and you'll still to cast your vote. but tell me this would be a dramatic shift away from chillies dictatorial passed. why the opposition? while the position for some of them who are against that, they say that especially reforms when it comes to the political system and the

additional system go to fall only to name one example. the new constitution, the proposed constitution would replace the senate and have another institution and they look at market it instability. they say who will pay for that. we just heard that in the report to some of them, a saying that it takes too much effort on the indigenous population. so one of the important things of the social rights that we have for on the indigenous population, l, u, b, t q is on women on environment for some of them goes too far, but is it's mandatory this voting to day. so i will be careful with it pulls the might be surprises as well. yeah. so there are groups in society who think that they'll be disadvantaged by this. there are also business interests involved as well on their, their interest as well. and as for mitchell in president mito virtually told the w only a few days ago, there interests for people who have profited from the system from the current constitution. that is, you'd set dates back to the time of august to be naughty. a constitution of course,

is not carved in stone, the app and several reforms during the several democratic governments that we had after that. but they have interest as well. and also if we look at the information that has been going on over the past weeks and months, it's pretty clear to see that to what has been going on over the past months as far as information goes. what, what information is out there to ensure chileans do know what they're voting for or against today? i think that 2 important things to note on one side is if it's balanced the information and it will look at big media corporation, spic outlets in chile, most of them belong to a certain economic group. so they who say, who have a lot of platform with people who go on television, basically on a daily basis. ironically, many of them say they have been cancelled due to the political views. but they have a lot of platforms in a television in radio. when it comes to debate and they are accusing this an assembly, this constitutional assembly of not incorporating this conservative view. so we

have on one side that and the other very, very big problem. we've seen, even before the 1st referendum were a majority of children, decided to have a new constitution. it's the problem of misinformation. we have a lot of misinformation on social media also by politicians who are spreading. there's a big media corporations, and that, of course, is a really, really big problem to debate in general because it can be debated. every norm of the $388.00 articles can be debated. but if it's misinformation, that's what happens if this is rejected today. so there is a clear path if it's approved there, transitional norms that are already in this constitution, this proposed constitution. so it's quite clear what will happen there if it's rejected. the chilling president, gabriel, boyd said that they should be a new assembly to follow the results of the 1st report. random were 78 percent said chile needs a new constitution. i'd say there is a big political consensus that the need to be changes to the current one, but it's not quite clear if it will be congress. there will be leading this changes

. they change the quorum already to make changes there. or if there will be a new, a conventional assembly to draft another proposal, will them be set to vote for children's ever? has colbert. thank you very much for coming in today. let's take a look at some other stories. german chancellor, all of sholtes has announced the $65000000000.00 euro relief package to cope with the energy and inflation crisis includes a windfall tax on energy companies to partially pay for consumer fuel subsidies and funding for low cost public transport. germany's inflation rate is at its highest in over 40 years. for you as president, donald trump is branded his successor, joe biden, an enemy of the state bite and had called trump bent his supporters. a threat to democracy. speaking in a rally and pennsylvania tremples were condemned. and if b, i raid on his home in florida, the un to flee. a watchdog says ukraine separation nuclear power plant has been disconnected from the main electricity grid because of shelling. a back up system

a lot more often than you might think despite the noise and pollution shocks don't seem to mind hanging out me a densely populated areas. we really thought they would because studies of like, big land predators have found that you know, walls and bears in kind of the big land. carnivores tend to avoid being around big cities. and that's not what we found at all with the shocks. in fact, we found the shark spinning quite a lot of time, close to what we called like urban areas that really close to the metropolis. miami . in a study in florida, 3 different species of shock we're tagged with small transmitters that emit ultrasonic waves. the researchers then placed listening stations on the water to monitor the creditors movements over several years. the data they collected confirms previous findings, which found that humans are not really on the shock menu. these are,

we're cruising up and down the coast line in areas that, you know, there are people that bill in the ocean. and i think, although this might make you a bit nervous to me, it just proves the point that sharp, you know, really don't want to bite people. and that back sharks, really tory people and tend to avoid them. if the scientists say it's still unclear why the shocks were not and fact repelled by the cities, given the high levels of noise light and air pollution, they produce. one theory is that the marine predators have grown used to urban centers over time. another is that they are drawn to the dead fish and pots thrown into the water by people fishing. one way or another shocks are lot less interested in making a meal of us than you might think. and the food fight is have been an emotional farewell to the bands. former drama taylor
