tribute to mikhail gorbachev, where the commemorative speech and a minute silence. they remember the last later of the soviet union, the man credited with bringing down the iron curtain and allowing east and west germany to become one. ah, i am rebecca riches. welcome to the program. pakistani authorities are struggling to prevent the country's largest fresh water lake from over flowing and adding to the misery of millions affected by flooding. workers have breached a dike of lake man shaw to try to control the overflow. but that means nearby villages have been inundated, while more densely populated areas have been sped for now. pakistan's largest, fresh water lake keeps getting bigger. said by months of rain, lake man char,

in southern pakistan is close to overflowing, putting hundreds of thousands of people in the area at risk. if we tuckers over here, so wholesale entity, it, it will be dawn. so the situation is stuff we had trying to convey and had been fighting since last. what the year dive engineers made it difficult decision to cut into an embankment to direct the flood away from the most populated areas and flood dozens of nearby villages instead. authority say the emergency breach has already displaced a 100000 people. but local reporting suggest the number could be much higher. many who fled say they haven't received any help from the government. dominic, debbie bung. when the water breached the lake, we got scared and left our village and belongings, going forward as we took our children and ran and came here that i get blanket. we arrived at 2 in the morning one and it's been 3 days and nobody's come to help us

in that way. most of us are staying under the open sky. only. i may say bit and on their own and in harm's way. and no one knows for how long living in makeshift camps on higher ground, the displaced face a range of health risks, such as water born and skin diseases, say experts. we'll say that the children missed their home because there's no replacement for your home. there is no peace. there are lots of mosquitoes here and it's very hot. we've asked for an electric fine, but that's impossible. the children's education has been stopped to getting food is also very difficult. we can't even cook because there's water everywhere. the decision to divert the flood waters has spared the larger cities near lake mancha for now, but at great human cost elsewhere. but with more rain expected to fall this month,

pakistan's disastrous summer might not be over yet. well let's bring address la gary in he's with the united nations children's fun uni safe. he joins us from pakistan, south east and sin province methyl agari. thanks for joining us today. you've been touring areas impacted by the floods. give us a sense of the scale of the devastation that you've been witnessing. thank you, rebecca. well, yeah, i've been in the south of the country so far in the province, which is one of the most effective. it is as part of it, but it is. i, i've seen 3 different areas and so far and it's just a station everywhere. what we see where we go is water and both sides of the road or even roads color in water and families. hundreds and thousands of them on the, on the road side and makes extends without any food without any proper shelter under the risk of the water bone diseases because that's rounded by the blood lakes

that have been stagnant for over 4 weeks. now in some locations in waters as deep as 4 to 6 feet in some places, children are startling. the food mothers cannot feed their infant. babies and families are direly in need of drinking water and in clean water. otherwise as well . it's just a very bad situation. your organization is of course, one of several trying to get aid to those millions of people who are affected. but as we heard in that report, i just isn't being reached, isn't reaching them, other problems, really logistical or what are the reasons that i didn't getting to where it's needed? there's a lot of a being so, and then just unicef has brought in 66 metric ton of different, different kinds of medical and hygiene and, and other supplies for the people in need. but this is just a drop in the ocean, even if all this a just goes out and reaches everyone a need, it's just

a drop in the ocean. we have to stand millions of families that we're talking about and to and many of them are still stranded and flooded areas as waters are still endangering lives from from this lake that has been being mentioned. there are other locations do are water drains. rain drains are still in danger, in villages and communities, so we're still not entirely out of the thick. so and access is a problem, but we're still on the ground along with the station view stuff is on the ground units is trying to get to as many times as possible. but as mentioned at the level, and we need to do more exactly the this, the sheer scale as you just been talking about, millions of people affected more than a 1000 confirmed dead homes destroyed across the country. i can pakistan recover from this it will take years to recover from this calamity. but right now, of course the, the,

the attention of the focus is on providing immediate relief because many of these b, o, many of these families are, as i mentioned as to those and, and those were not strong that those who are in the safe places do not have base, do not have any essential needful. so as i said, there's no change and what's, what's for him? now the focus unfortunately, we seem to be losing the line to that address. i got a but thank you very much for your time this morning. i just got it with unicef in, in the province pakistan the united nations secretary general says russia and ukraine must see military activity near this operation nuclear plant and a great on a securities on and honeycutt harris want any damage could spell catastrophe for the region and beyond his words echoed those of the head of the un nuclear watchdog . it's raphael grossey is 3rd time speaking to the security council. but his 1st

time reporting on what he seen with his own eyes at this apparition, nuclear plant. we are playing with fiber and something very, very catastrophic could take place. this is why in our report, we are proposing the establishing the establishment, sorry, of a nuclear safety and security protection zone. grossey says it's not possible to work normally and safely at the plant. it's short staffed, the staff, it does have overworked and communication with the outside world is difficult and he says military vehicles are getting in the way. our concrete recommendation these regard is that the military vehicles on equipment that are currently present in buildings inside nuclear buildings on this side be removed from the russian ambassador accused key of shelling the plant and said there could be serious

consequences. a griffin was able to look the responsibility lie solely with care. it's western supporters and all those in the security council who don't have the courage to call things by their name and stop the reckless actions against this power plant. you would use it for the loose, despite russia, song and dance here today to avoid acknowledging responsibility for its actions. russia has no right to expose the world to unnecessary risk. and the possibility of nuclear catastrophe. nothing new at the security council, russia and western nations at loggerheads once again with no end to the conflict in sight. and as can show up to speed down on some of the other stories making headlines around the world. today. the baltic states of lithuania, latvia, and estonia have reached agreement to restrict the entry of russian citizens. estonia had already been russians entering as of last month. but this coordinated agreement is a new developments that the russian president vladimir putin has told an economic

foreign a forum in vladivostok that the developing world has been cheated. by a landmark great deal struck by the un ukraine and russia. he said experts, we're not going to the poorest countries as was the goal. he also called for more cooperation with asian countries, maryland. it really ju terminal. mike has have paid tribute to the last later of the soviet union, mikhail gorbachev. the bonus times president barrel bass delivered a speech in his honor and the parliament observed a minute silence for gorbachev who was buried in moscow last week. go which humps re, reform policies lead to the end of the cold war and to the reification of east and west germany. verbal boss reflected on gorbachev. st. legacy president gorbachev. but among the president, gorbachev was a man of peace from beth. he changed the world for the better him after moodily he made possible what had seemed unthinkable for decades in

a peaceful end to the cold war and to the division of our country and our continent to above him. we german, his arch half, much to thank mikhail gorbachev for food for dung and edible political correspond. nina hasn't followed the events in the bonus tag to day. nana thanks for coming in at pretty unusual for the german parliament to honor a foreigner. international leader. tell us what was said, what went on and what was said about what's happening in russia particularly today . you know, i really haven't found any evidence that there has been ever in the german parliament, a similar event to commemorate a foreign leader like that is highly unusual. and of course i had a lot to do with the role that gorbachev played in is essay paving the path to german reunification. so he is a revered figure here in this country is image in russia is of course, completely different because in russia he's considered to be the man who caused the

soviet union to collapse and who was blamed for all the poverty in the 19 ninety's . but the german parliament today wanted to send a very clear message also to today's kremlin, if you are not honoring your foreign, your former leader, then we will do that. and then babble boss, the president of the parliament stressed that you know, governor of stood for peace. he stood for openness. he became friends with a then chance land would cause he trusted him. and so this is something that everybody said in is everything that putin is not. and so putin has essentially turned his back on god chose way forward. and bab abbas called that a tragic mistake. yeah, the comparison was very clear. the war in ukraine of course, are in and it ramifications in germany were also featured in the debate that followed the commemoration event. let's hear from chantelle all of shots and the opposition leader, frederick mats. we have been kinder and shy and we will not make any decisions that cause rushes criminal war against ukraine to escalate into a war between russia and nato. is foot switch, nato,

and hostile avi abandoned us. more than what we will do, what is necessary, and these are, it is exactly along that policy line as closely embedded in the alliance with our friends around the world that we support ukraine and will do so for as long as is necessary. a bonus can save you miss miss slider fished in mister chancellor. we regret to say that we cannot trust your assurances for call me in the line seems along with the purely financial questions of equipping the german military of you and your government are not fulfilling. the clear will of the german parliament to supply ukraine climate with an adequate measure of heavy weapons. and unsurprisingly, opposing view there from government and opposition. exactly. but, you know, the, germany's response to the war has been contentious, ease germany, doing all it can to support ukraine, while the ukrainian prime minister came to berlin last weekend. and that was a clear sign that ukraine is now beginning to say, okay,

let's put all those sort of controversial conversations that we've had since the beginning of this war behind as let's move forward. thank you very much, said durham prime minister, show me how to love shards you are delivering heavy weapons and it's true. germany is driven, delivering weapons like and howard says, also air defense tanks. but at what ukraine wants and prime minister me how reiterate at that last weekend is a more heavy weapons. germany, for example, i said that it will deliver for m, the air defense system iris iris t models. and ukraine says it needs 12, and also they want combat tank. so they want the letter to but all of shows a said no, we're not going it alone. we're not sending combat tanks if nobody else is doing that, even the u. s. on doing that will have so it is extremely wary of a, of this conflict extending to a conflict between nato and russia. and that is something that he wants to prevent . other people are saying that's not the only reason why he's being so cautious. he

has an extremely strong left wing group within his own party that are also very reluctant in terms of sending heavy weapons to ukraine. all right. did a very political correspond, nina has a thanks very much. oh, that's all from us this albert, stay tuned as an apple prepares to raise the curtain on its light, as i thought, my colleague, christie plaid said, will be asking if the company is bright, to rely on china that's coming up in business news. thank 43 a 5 bridge habitat ah ended glistening place of morning the mediterranean sea. he had almost far and to follow up to korean drift along exploring.
