fire on verify social media video appears to show that a section of the road span has collapsed due to the exclusion as the railroad spans burns. that's the latest on d w. news at this hour. i'll be back at the top of the hour with an update for you, and marian and everything from me and the news team in berlin. thanks for watching . a new tag to this visual hotspots in germany, euro and below the w travel extremely. we're in a, a with

with below, but as a dory. thank you very much for speaking to d. w. now you've just come from a press conference with alina about your german counterpart, your 1st meeting here in berlin, talking about the devastating floods that have just recently published on biblical is the word that you've used. i'm not even a bad book saying the pop song can count on germans solidarity. i'm offering support now talk of 60000000 euros. are you satisfied with that 60? by the 1st one, i'm incredibly grateful to the foreign minister for inviting us here for

hospitality. and we incredibly grateful to the people of germany in the government of germany for their support that they have been showing for us in this difficult time. as i mentioned in my press conference, absolutely biblical proportions for flooding. 33000000 people, which is a 3rd of the land mass. my country for 33000000 people is one and 7 people of pakistan. i devastated by these floods. 16000000 of them are children. 660-0000. i'm pregnant women when to give birth. so we're very grateful for the support of thought when the germany over the international community, by and large, particularly during this phase, we were in our rescue and relief phase, and we've had larger u. n. a flash appeal going forward. we want to work with our partners, including our friends in germany on trainer ways to finance the reconstruction and rehabilitation. as a result of the devastation caused by the floods that we would like to do in

a greener mclean at resilient manner. and we're hoping to work with germany with france, with the wes, with other countries to be able to do. so i'm, but i just wanted to drill down what, what you feel is the appropriate kind of scanner support. but there's a lot of crises going on at the moment, but i don't think any crisis happening, any country apart from the war and ukraine which, which compares to what's happened in pakistan and just to come back to this figure of 60000000 euros. jamie is recently announced that he wants to spend 200000000000 euros on trying to keep energy prices low. that's more than $3000.00 times as much . i just want to understand coming from a developing country, coming to europe to rich country, asking for support. and he was struck by this huge discrepancy integration. so i, 1st of all, one to explain that their faces to the sort of our asks for support. what we'll do it would be, we'd be doing in the next round, which would be

a far more expensive proposition. is what i was talking about as far as reconstruction and rehabilitation is concerned. and for that we were, we would require the support of our partners will be understand that the difficult, difficult economic times. so everyone with jest faced once in a 100 years global pandemic. that has affected the economies of countries everywhere. we've also seen the devastation in ukraine and the sanctions that come along with it. and that is resulted in difficulties for the people of germany just as it's resulted with difficulties of the people of bacchus in that context. we've also seen following these a significant events, this climate catastrophe on a scale that we've never imagined before. 33000000 people is more than the people displaced by partition. i mean, it is an extreme, incredibly significant number, but obviously we'll have to now talk about the reconstruction rehabilitation around

the floods. i think that it is important to mention here though, and to sort of quote, antonio can terrace the he went safety general, that it's not a question of charity. it's a question of justice that a country that produces a 0.8 percent of the global carbon footprint, is the 8th most climate stress country on the planet, and is disproportionately affected by climate change. the 33000000 people are playing with their lives and their livelihoods, with the industrialization or richer countries. and therefore, this is a global problem of groups of global actions. we hope that it also has a global solutions despite the incredible difficulties that everybody is facing ever. so of course, one of the main things on the minds of people here in germany is you visit and also will be up at the united nations. and next week it is washington invasion of ukraine. israel of another voted un general assembly. the sides in that discussion

are all kind of beating the drum for support on one side or the other is park isn't going to abstain as it did in the last. so we have had a principles position to to abstain and not be drawn into a new conflict, particularly on the backs of honest one. as you recall the fall of carving just a year ago. and that was for us, one conflict after making. after another decade after decades we confronted war and devastation in our own neighborhood. and we were sort of hoping that such issues would not drop out. but the situation in the west is completely changed. the situation in europe has completely changed following the conflict in ukraine as far as opposition to the united nations. that consent, i won't be able to sort of comment any further at this time until our own internal deliberations are complete. but that sounds like to me, an indication that you,

that you intend to hold that sort of neutral position and abstained again. do not feel amused having a press conference that, that is, that is preposterous. i think. where do you use that nuclear weapons? once again, sort of in prospect in this conflict in, in the ukraine? is this not the moment where you really do have to come off the fence and say to the russian side, who are the ones who raised suspects of nuclear weapons? that really would be a step to. i think it was pretty clear my press conference in my press conference on the issue of nuclear weapons and about how that should not be an option for it for, for anybody, as far as our position within the war of ukraine is concerned that we've been consistent as far as un resolutions are concerned, as far as international law is concerned, but as far as us actually proactively taking sides within this conflict,

this large bipartisan support within the park stand for pakistan to remain neutral . it's very difficult to convince the people as focused on that when there's an issue of international law, when this issue of un, resolution in the schmiel, this very same countries take a neutral position and then expect the rest of us to fall in line with the matters to them, we also have challenges from the eval honest on fall out another nato conflict that ended on our border without consulting consulting us, or significant engagement with the civilian prior civilian government in nevada. none that is now resulted in a taliban interim government interval. i understand with implications directly for us on our border. and once again, it's not something that sort of far away from us enough for us to wash our hands and turn our backs on. so it's very, very difficult in a domestic political context to expect our people to take

a stance when there is not that consistency on other issues. however, having said that, despite our stance are in the united nations august thunder's an aged recipient country, the only 2 countries that we make an exception for one is of why the sun given the amount of darion the difficulties they're facing, that and the 2nd country that we've sent you a to is ukraine. we've had incredible little we have longstanding ties with you train a lot of issues to do with food security because we used to buy an importer wheat from root cane. and we still believe the dialogue and diplomacy is absolutely necessary for us to resolve this conflict. now it says that while this dance remaining neutral and the issues why we've so far is it can. i want to turn to another controversial issue with the un mission. jang and china. so there's been

a voted un human rights council this week, where pakistan did not abstain, boxed on voted no with china to prevent even debate taking place on the recent. you end up report on shin jang. and how do you justify that? it's a absolutely in a consistent policy of pakistan at the human rights council that why we take part in broader debates i to do with human rights or when specific countries are mentioned. we have consistently voted no and will continue to vote no in the future . it's not a, it's to try to forget it. the slideshow in my mind when i was in addition to this topic, there was another. well, there was a, there was also a vote on that canister where we were african it, it, where park. so also that you know it, germany is foreign ministry. i mean, you just become from meeting i lena bear book, jeremy's foreign ministry. describe this vote in which china one that vote at you.

and he writes, cancel as a dark day for human rights. sure. i understand where are certain countries are coming from as far as we're concerned, we believe that the politicization of the human rights are institutions or bodies within the united nations. special when they specifically talk about different countries is not necessarily the most productive use of those forms. but there are areas where they are disputes, where they are violations of human rights. that are not part of any one country, but as far as internationally disputed territories. and those issues, or whether it is the occupied palestinian territories or where this the occupied territories of kashmir, unfortunately are epicenter is of the most historic violations of human rights in our time. and they unfortunately don't even get the mention

a mention in international media. don't get the lip service of international politicians and don't get the time of day at the united nations. again, i reiterate, it may be easier for us to expect other countries to take a different line or a more of a, an approach with a more willing to listen. if fundamental issues that are already declared is international disputes under the united nations. or given the due attention they deserve, when they're not, is incredibly difficult to expect. countries such as pakistan would pakistan, isn't alone, or to change the way of conducting themselves in these institutions. and so do you think it's hypocritical then, of germany, to be pushing so hard on shin jang and for anna lynn, about to be quite cursory in her comments? earlier in the press conference about issues, kashmir. look,

i don't want to use those words. absolutely not. i just believe that when it comes to international institutions, the talk of international law, the talk of un resolutions and disputed territories, internationally recognized to speak to texas for us and the indian occupied. shmear is an important point that it should require. it should require consistently and if it consistency and if there was that consistency, i believe that those countries i would be more receptive to watch more powerful countries are bigger countries are saying about issues and matter to them, whoever does it. all right, thank you very much. thank you. thank you so much. ah,
