getting treatment is almost impossible. it's not a question of charity. it's a question of justice. pakistan makes the case for more flood relief from europe. dw speaks exclusively with foreign minister bill awhile peters the diary class, the more nuclear saber rattling not from russia, but north korea. pyongyang says it's been testing missiles to hit and wipe out targets in south korea. ah, i'm jarrett great, thanks so much for joining us. pakistan is had some of it's worth flooding ever this year, putting a 3rd of the country under water. and displacing millions of people, scientists say climate change is made the disaster worse. and now after the flooding comes, disease dingey, cholera and malaria,

a leading to what did you in is calling a 2nd wave of catastrophe? for 2 weeks now my reject ronnie has barely been able to stand up. the 12 year old girl from su, core in southern pakistan has malaria. the area near her home was badly hit by flooding. the stagnant waters and mosquitoes helped infection spread, and getting treatment is almost impossible. planning yard. the shag, my family is very poor body, we can hardly afford medicine, but they still managed to get me something from the pharmacy, but it hasn't made me feel better. and i had the at the rena hanniman in to had her main care givers her grandfather, sadie or din. but he doesn't have much money either. he had hoped for medical support from the government or aid organizations. but so far, nothing has come through in july. well, in ne, nobody has come to our area up or rosier. no organisation, and no one at all. only

a name is try to help us with that. other than that, we haven't had support from any one of them may go to fighting. once a week said, our dean borrows a motorcycle to take my ra, 10 kilometers to the doctor. the bumpy ride is strenuous, especially for myra. once they get there, she usually has to wait a few hours before she can be seen. why he the only runs the clinic and is the only doctor. he is completely overwhelmed with all the ms delay. our biggest problem is that we have virtually no doctors in the entire region. we have no staff, there's no medicine that i will look for this out. a lot of the government is doing nothing really, but we have no beds. this is not a real hospital. you run marcello. everything was destroyed by the flooding. who does myra feels weak and listless. she often has a high fever. while he the alley tries to help as best he can, but his options are limited over there, one of them, a fellow or the government should provide medicine. they will give the patients

prescriptions. but most of the time the medicine is not available anywhere while it, if it is the only a black market prices, so everyone suffers ability movement. you myra, urgently needs malaria medication. but her family can't afford it. she is in such bad shape. she can barely eat on mine. i'm so sick. i'm not hungry at all. thank god. if i were well, i would help my mother with the housework i had did here at the moment. i mostly just lie around mounting to sing for now, my reckon only hope that some day medical help will arrive in her village and that finally she will get well. well pakistan's foreign minister bill awhile bhutto. the diary is calling for more international support for flood relief efforts. after talked with his german counterpart here in berlin, he gave an exclusive interview to d w's, chief international editor, richard walker. hello, good. as the dairy, thank you very much for speaking to

d. w. now you've just come from a press conference with alina burbock, your german counterpart, your 1st meeting here in berlin, talking about the devastating floods that have hit just recently published on biblical, is the word that you've used. i don't mean a bad book saying that pakistan can count on germans solidarity are offering support now total of 60000000 euros. are you satisfied with that 60, by the 1st full, 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 are devastated by these floods. 16000000 of them are children, 660-0004 pregnant women when to give birth. so we are very grateful for the

support of the germany over the international community by and large, particularly during this phase where we're in our su, in relief phase. and we've had launched o 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, more climate resilient manner. and we're hoping to work with germany with france, with the us, 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 scale of support. but there's a lot of crises going on at the moment, but i think any crisis happening in any country, apart from the war and ukraine, which, which compares to what's happened in pakistan and just to come back to this gross

60000000 euros gem 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. i. but they're asking for support is struck by the huge discrepancy in the vessel. so i, 1st of all, one to explain that their faces to the sort of our asks for support would, will 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 apartments will be understand that the difficult times difficult economic times for everyone. we've just faced a once in a 100 year 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 peoples of germany just as it's resulted with difficulties of the people of bacchus in that context. we've also seen following these as 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 back to 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

paying 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. other so well, that interview also touched on pakistan's position on the war and ukraine. later today, the un general assembly will debate a draft resolution condemning russia's rates and annexations of 4 ukrainian regions . like it may be, india, pakistan has been steadfastly neutral on russia's invasion. my colleague richard walker asked the foreign minister at pakistan whether it was time to come off the fence. 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 are within this conflict, this large bipartisan support within

a pakistan for pakistan to remain neutral. it's very difficult to convince the people of pakistan that when there's an issue of international law when this issue of un resolutions in kashmir, 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 and of honest land that is now resulted in a taliban interim government interval honest on 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 within a domestic political context to expect our people to take

a stance when there's not that consistency. pakistan's foreign minister bill a while bhutto, the diary you can find the full interview on our youtube channel d w. news. ah, well, the world is already on edge over roches threats to use nuclear weapons in ukraine . and today north korea through itself into the mix state media reports that recent miss our launches were tactical, nuclear drills to quote, hit and wipe out targets in south korea. pyongyang fired to more ballistic missiles early on sunday. it was the 7th launch of its kind in less than 3 weeks. north korean leader kim jong owned personally supervising the latest miss. i lunches. state media now says these are simulations for battle field nuclear weapons designed to hit and destroy targets in south korea. last week,

an intermediate range missile that flew over japan was 1st claimed to be an arrow. but now north korea sees these will also tactical drills. they triggered every sirens and boats and japan urging people to take shelter and later evacuate oh the but i don't know if the messiah can boast over japan. when you, when you open, that means it can land in japan. but when you time with the us up, condemned aggression by north korea in this is the 39th ballistic missile that is pure k has, has launched in 2022. and this kind of continued action. not only is it unlawful, it is d, stabilizing to the region, and the whole international community. the u. s. and south korea have been running joint military drills. not korea sees its own tests out in response to that.

chinese official fate, the us is only raising tensions in the region. well miss you on you, been with us is playing by double standard, engaging and political maneuvering. while poisoning the security environmental attentions on the peninsula shouldn't come as a surprise. but for now, a lowering of tensions seems unlikely, with north korea declaring itself an irreversible nuclear power. thanks to watching this more and d, w dot com, forward slash asia at dw news, and i am at john underscore rate c. tomorrow. with hold center i'm you can that i think that's hard and in the end is a me you are not locked up to you anymore. we will send you back. are you familiar
