shattering the glass in architecture, does this has to be really, really good. start september 30th. oh d w ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, b u n's, nuclear watchdog warns a military safe zone is needed around ukraine's apparition nuclear plat. yep. playing with the head of the international atomic energy agency addresses the un security council. warning that if shelling around the facility does not end something catastrophic could occur, mean also coming up on the show. monsoon flooding in pakistan force is

a difficult decision. a huge lake threatens to overflow and authorities have chosen to spare more populated areas as rural residents pay the price. ah. hello, i'm clear. richardson, welcome to the show. we start in ukraine where local officials say russia has again shelby area around this apparition, nuclear power plants. this 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 cross, he's 3rd time speaking to the security council. but his 1st time reporting on what

he's seen with his own eyes at the upper region nuclear plant with fire 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. coffee says it's not possible to work normally and safely at the plant. it's short staffed, the staff. it does have an 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 and equipment that are currently present in buildings inside new care buildings on the site. the remove, the russian ambassador accused of sharing the plant and said that could be serious

consequences. addresses the responsibility lie solely with key f. it's west and supporters and all those in the security council who don't have the courage to call things by that name and stop the reckless actions against this power plant. you will be used for delays 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 a nuclear catastrophe. nothing new at the security can't. so russia and western nations at loggerheads once again with no end to the conflict insight. earlier i spoke to our correspondent matthews, bullying her in here, and i asked him how the i a e, a investigation results are 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, to militarize this area that they, that they 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 a 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 ukrainian stuff at the plant. there are some conflict arising that i might be able

to negotiate, mediate, or something like that. but in fact, these 2 people, they observe and they are not actively, probably going to try to, 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 offensive in the south and the east. what is the latest you're hearing from the front lines? yeah, we've heard about sir successes in the south for some time. we don't know how well they are 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 there, but we have with the picture that the ukrainians are indeed advancing. there is, 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 on to the front lines from the ukrainians. and that's it seems to be there seems to be moving on. there seems 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 can not deploy them from there to the south. for example, that's something that had has been some speculation about. but at the moment it looks as if the ukrainians are having the initiative on the, in the hock of region and in the hassan region are. and that's after russia has had the initiative in the don bus, but also in other areas for over a long time. find a reporting for us from t. thanks so much. let's take a closer look. now at some of the other headlines from the war in ukraine, firefighters are still searching the rubble for survivors. after rushing shells hit

an apartment walk and a school in the eastern ukrainians full of young. at least one civilian was killed in the rocket attacks. if the president was that putin has said that sanctions against moscow are a danger for the whole world. he also won the west, but it was impossible to isolate russia. and he hailed asia's growing global influence. with western countries have imposed a raft of economic and personal sanctions since russia invaded ukraine in february . the baltic states of lithuania, lafayette, and as stony have reached agreement to restrict the entry of russian citizen as sonya had already banned russians entering as of last month. but this coordinated agreement is the new development and european commission president worth of under lion has proposed a price cap on russian gas as part of several measures to tackle the energy crisis facing europe. ministers are due to hold an emergency meeting on friday, mid charges that russia is weapon, ising energy supplies,

in response to western sanctions. we aim at lowering the cost of gas and therefore, we will propose a price cup on russian gas. of course the objective is very clear. we all know that our sanctions, deeply grinding into the russian economy with heavy negative impact. but putting is partially buffering through fossil fuel revenues. so here the objective is we must cut rushes, revenues, which put in uses to finance his atrocious war. and ukraine and pakistan's prime minister says parts of his country are just like a sea following devastating monsoon floods shall sharif was speaking after he visited the southern province of cent. that's where authorities are struggling to prevent pakistan's largest lake from overflowing. workers have breached a dyke of lake muncher to try to control the waters and will that means more

densely populated areas have been spared for now. nearby villages have been inundated, defeated, our fleet. the largest leak in pakistan has that much the home with the league threatening to overflow and genius breached embankments to direct the water away from heavily populated 80th. but what the levels demean dangerously high are down to 100000 people have already been displaced. the overflowing lake, if that assault of heavy rain and back of thousands of worst flights on record one 3rd of the country has been impacted since province, if among the worst hit. and if now facing a mandating crisis, with millions at risk of falling ill. i love my child and i drank the dirty flood water and my child fell sick. he started vomiting and got diarrhea. health experts have gone to humanity in situation will get worse,

was really just say nothing ever since the flood. we've had patients the streaming in bush and indoor, we have 72000 patients registered with us homes on the way. but to me, because we have treated around 5000 children with diarrhea pakistan. m, it's less than one percent of greenhouse gases, but x but say it is being the price for global emissions. the un security channel and doing your good daddy's have fed the flat out of the felt of climate change. nature. the striking beck and climate change is super charging the destruction of our planets. today, it is buck is done tomorrow, it can be anywhere else. good data just heading to pakistan to speak. he's calling for a massive show of international support to bring in 8 that the country desperately

need at us, harassed the country. director of the 8 organization care international in pakistan told me more about the current situation at lake muncher. the water level ledge lake mature is still high, and that is like another one or 2 days, which re can still say that that is the risk. the water is still bossing from different cities and to 80 hours, which are electricity voting, jump short and touch. all in next, 2 days time, this water will connect with the sea. so the next 2 days are definitely a risk. and there were like some breaches which are done problem this late yesterday and day before. to reduce to know like floor water, which has affected some of the rural areas and lake and all the city are about to 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, it's hard to say at this stage, 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 which converted into flag as an aide worker. i'm concerned because of the rain top and the flow of the rainbow really high. they could be in the span of flooding which may happen, and more or less could be effected, then even people who are displaced, they may, if it's more challenging. 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 to your organization has been on the ground since the floods hit, or you encouraged by the response that you've seen so far. a heavy needs,

i would say, like, you know, our teams are in the fact to d 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 immediate 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 level. you 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 phase 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 are of it 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? i think the live savings 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 between 12 to it. so i, as in either worker and like, you know, from my previous experience of learning in country which was the 2010, i can see that it will take between 2 to 3 years to really, really cover these effected communities and reintegrated them to the social network shows country director of care international. joining us from is lama, but i want to thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us on
