a special look at a special country loan from above. start september 16th on d, w. ah, [000:00:00;00] ah, this is dw news live from berlin. you. when's nuclear watchdog warns a military safe zone is needed around ukraine's apparition nuclear plants play with by the head of the international atomic energy agency address is the un security council warning that if shuttling around the facility does not end something

catastrophic could occur. also coming up on the show, monsoon flooding in pakistan forces the difficult decisions. a huge lake threatens to overflow and authorities have chosen to spare more populated areas. while rural residents pay the price. ah. hello, i'm clear. richardson, thanks so much for joining us. we're starting in ukraine, where local officials say russia has, again showed the area around this operation nuclear power plant. this comes a day after the united nations secretary general said russia and ukraine must cease military activity near the facility and agree on a security zone. antonio guitar hash warned that any damage could spell, catastrophe for the region, and beyond. his words echoed those of the head of the un nuclear watchdog. it's

rafael garcia's 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 fighter and something very, very catastrophic could take place. this is why in our report, we are proposing the establishing the establishment story 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 her overworked and communication with the outside world is difficult and he says military vehicles are getting in the way. our concrete recommendation in this regard is that the military vehicles and equipment that are currently present in buildings inside nuclear buildings on this site be removed from the russian ambassador accused

t f. f. shelling the plant and said there could be serious consequences. a griffin reserved 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 before you lose. despite russia song and dance here to day, 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. i spoke earlier to our correspondent matty as a bullying or in care of and i asked him how the i e a investigation is being received in ukraine. well 1st of all, of course, it's received. it was received well that they have criticize the military equipment

on the side. that something that ukraine has been has been criticizing for a long time and that they expected them to do. but there was also criticism off the mission itself that they have not really proposed an action plan. they have not really said how they want to demilitarize this area that, that they've just stated what they saw, but did not give any further advice. ok, so ukraine disappointed. there is no plan of action there and we know to inspectors from the i a are staying on at the plant. how helpful do you think that will be in improving the security situation there? first of all, it improves the information of situation on security. so the idea will have more direct information from the ground and it will be easier to monitor the situation because these 2 inspectors, they don't run the plan, they can facilitate maybe some things between the ration management and the

ukranian stuff at the plant. there are some conflict arising that they might be able to negotiate, mediate, or something like that. but in fact, these 2 people, they observe as they are not actively, probably going to try to do something security wise there, but it's important to have the full picture. it's important to have the information . so these 2 people, of course, they do make a difference. i mean, while ukrainian forces are pressing ahead with their counter offenses in the south and the east. what is the latest you're hearing from the front lines? yeah, we've heard about successes in the south for some time. we don't know how well they're able to consolidate them. we don't get the full picture. there's little access to the front lines at the moment for journalists and so there are questions that remain them, but we have with the picture that the ukrainians are indeed advancing. there is,

it is getting more and more is getting more and more confirmed. and in the east we are hearing now similar things, the push a push onto the front lines from the ukrainians. that seems to be that seems to be moving on that seem to be some successes. so a lot of pressure applied there. we don't know whether the objective is to really move forward fast there or just to keep pressure high on the russian troops there. so russia could not deploy them from there to the south. for example, that's something that's how that has been some speculation about. but at the moment it looks as if the ukrainians are having the initiative on the, in the hawk of region and in their own region. and that's off to russia has had the initiative in the dorm bus, but also in other areas for a very long time. my direct line are reporting for us from keith. thanks so much.

i can bring you the latest. now on some other world news stories firefighters are searching the rubble for survivors. after rushing shells, hit on apartment block and a school in the eastern ukrainian city of slogans. at least one civilian was killed in rocket attack. if you look at a russian president, vladimir putin has said that sanctions against moscow are a danger for the whole world. he also warned the west that it was impossible to isolate russia and who hailed asia's growing global influence. western countries have impose a raft of economic and personal sanctions schools since russia invaded ukraine in february. who would you wish? he blaze in a carry okey bar in southern vietnam has left at least 32 people dead and injured dozens more. witnesses at the fire spread quickly through the 3 story building, with its foam sound proofing and wooden paneling local authority say it may have been caused by an electrical short circuit. and archaeologists have made

a startling find in borneo that appears to show surgical amputation was taking place 31000 years ago in a cave, they uncovered the stone age skeleton of a young adult whose foot and lower legs are missing and appear to have been surgically removed the person survived for some 7 years after the loss of pakistan's. prime minister says parts of his country are just like a c following devastating monsoon floods. shabazz sharif was speaking after he visited the southern province of cent. that's where authorities are struggling to prevent hawkstern's largest lake from overflowing. workers have breached a dyke of lake muncher to try to control the waters. and while that means more densely populated areas have been spared for now, nearby villages have it been inundated, do you feel? but our fee, the largest lake in pakistan,

has that much they home with league threatening to overflow and genius preached embankments to direct the water away from heavily populated areas. but what the levels demean dangerously high around a 100000 people have already been displaced. the overflowing league is the result of heavy rain and pakistan the worst flights on record. one 3rd of the country has been impacted, faint province if among the worst hit and if now facing a humanitarian crisis, with millions at risk of falling ill. i'm my child and i drank the dirty flood water and my child fell sick. he started vomiting and got diarrhea. health experts have worn. the humanity in situation will get worth was leads up, say, lena, ever since the flood, we've had patients streaming in the past. we have 72000 patients registered

with us to impose on away but jimmy buckley, but we have treated around 5000 children with diarrhea dig pakistan and mixed less than one percent of greenhouse gases, but ex but fe, it of being the price for global emissions the un fecky to general antonio. good dish have fed the floods out of the felt of climate change. nature is threatening. beck and climate change is super charging the destruction of all planets. today it is buck is done to more it can be anywhere else. good data of heading to pakistan this week. he's calling for a massive shore of international support to bring in aid that the country desperately need. earlier i spoke to sharon, the country director of the 8 organization care international in pakistan. he gave us an update on the situation at lake muncher,

the water level at lake my insurer is still high and there is like another one or 2 days, which we can still say that that is the risk. the water is still bossing from different cities and few of which are to latrice, including jump short or to enter java. in next, 2 days time, this water will connect with the c. so the next 2 days are definitely a risk. there were some breaches which are done from this lake yesterday and day before to reduce lake flow of water which has effected some of the rural area and lake and all the city will saved. but at the same time, the other 2 days will still be a risk. now we're also expecting more rain in the coming month. do you think things are going to get worse before they get better? it's hard to say this to the i think the,

the experience which we have seen in this more than the prediction of the rain, so not that heavy but they were heavier and was converted into flag as an aide worker. i'm concerned because of the rain top and they have the flow of the rain, but really high. they could be in the spend all flooding which may happen and more or areas could be affected and even people who are displayed, they may feel more challenges. so as an organization, we all need to play our role at this stage, but definitely we are concerned on the next range which will come and let's talk about that respond your organization has been on the ground since the floods hit. are you encouraged by the response that you've seen so far? a heavy needs, i would say, like, you know, our teams ought to be b, as in sam then baluchistan via providing support to the effected communities. but there are massive needs it's, it's not

a small area which is hit by this emergency. they're almost like 80 just sick, which are hard hit from this a 1000000 c. and we are talking about 6400000 people who are in need of support is workers come in organizations and also like us are providing this support in these areas. but we need to think that this is not an emergency which will, over within days. because people have lost everything including their sheltered livestock. lulu are ready, crops, and other acids. so it's like, you know, a pretty broad track of the emergency response which is lifesaving for now. and then converting into an early recovery fees. and then in the longer term development, and that will require a lot of support in terms of financial support in terms of in kind the board but, and then also making sure that these communities ought to be at about disaster risk reduction strategies. so that they can save them. so for any future thoughts or

a project like this one, based on your experience as an aide worker, how long do you think it will take pocket on to recover from this disaster? oh, i think the life ceilings no response can be for next 4 to 6 months. so which is just the initial response. and then we'll convert into analytical response. but usually it's between 12 to it. but so i, as in either worker and like, you know, from my previous experience of learning in country which was in 2010, i can say that it will take between 2 to 3 years to really recover these effected communities and reintegrate them to the social network. ada shares, country director of care international. joining us from islamabad, i want to thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us on d w. thank you so much. that's his update at this hour coming up next in dw news,
