i said as an independent state with the new nation looking for ways to really strengthen its sovereignty. those are the headlines now the united nations says more than seventeen million people have been affected by pakistan's worst ever floods and international aid is now flowing into the country but the disaster has already taken at least sixteen hundred lives and we spoke to the un's deputy envoy to pakistan to find out what needs to be done that and that interview is coming up right now. some see it is the guts of the century. has devoted all its resources its called into the international community to her. message got this trophy disaster. as a u.n. special envoy in pakistan. and pakistan how do you assess the you in rule

at this time i believe the united nations has been a very important partner to pakistan for the pakistani people for decades we have been working in this country and some of the worst crisis. which affected the people of pakistan the influx of the afghan refugees thirty years ago the different natural disasters this country is experiencing unfortunately on this very frequent basis so we are with pakistan have to with pakistan really with pakistan and as such the united nations of course in its role of coordinating not only itself. but also the international community the various aid organizations which are coming in to help we are here to certainly streamline and help the

government of pakistan streamline the assistance which is now gradually unfortunately coming to this country the united nations. secretary general mr ban ki moon has. blown the international community to help pakistan some media reports say is that this call was not smith's properly and how do you respond to that but i believe it took all of us a little while to understand that this was one of the biggest if not the biggest natural disaster. we have seen in living memory. took us a while to understand when we did realize that it was not only the flash floods which hit the north in the very beginning but as the secretary general after his visit during his visit said slow rolling moving tsunami affecting the entire country. i think we are waking up the international community

is waking up has woken up and is now contributing it is to all of us pakistan of course the first the pakistani people the well known pakistani hospitality which has also worked so well when all the people came from swat in two thousand and nine to host the brothers and the sisters. that's now is coming to fruit we have seen considerable contributions coming into pakistan to the united nations but also to the many aid organizations who are now rushing to to help this country. however. we are still in the beginning. there are still hundreds of thousands of people displaced every newly displaced. every day every week more and more people are. impacted in the same time having

people returning all that these people also need assistance they are now rebuilding their houses they have to rebuild their livelihoods or start again maybe cleaning and clearing out their fields they need to be helped so the needs will be and we should not only in fact from a use this get stuck with the initial amounts which have been mentioned the appeal of the united nations the appeals done by other organisations by the government itself it is just the beginning we are still assessing and we cannot even do the full assessment because it's still happening how much will be really needed so we have seen almost a billion dollars now coming to pakistan in kind in donations but also in cash let me put this question as maybe it's a political side a bit but this is what i have touched where where when i visited the area. in the

same in the in the south everybody is complaining of the. nor the decrees of the shortage of the aids that reach into these areas they are complaining they are very angry against the government let me ask you what type of cord the nation is between the you and the government of pakistan in order to put a mechanism to mechanism to distribute this assistance and make sure that this system reaches reach to these fifty's well. first of all i think i'm not saying the people are rights of course the people are frustrated they lost everything and they see that only a portion of the needs is actually covered. again i believe that in. the shower. as we have been operational there now for four years and even though our warehouses were all affected. the world food program lost

thousands of tons of food other organizations lost a lot of other items we were able to response in fact that area has been better covered than others now it is clear that only earth fraction of the people has been covered satisfactory the problems of access are just unbelievable unbelievable if you believe that i mean if you imagine that eight hundred thousand people is not a million i simply cut off. anywhere in the world that would be an unsurmountable challenge for any government for any action this is one of the massive as we have agreed destructions that has been ever faced in the in the world or it's in the you know century. the flanders come from the north west and in the same then there is a. warning by the united nations that the diseases and the

a chronic disease would spread in the areas was affected what is the how the u.n. will deal to corteen and contain these diseases in these within their fifty's well again the united nations has been present and working with the health authorities in the country again for decades on the over the question of polio etc so there is a capacity on the ground and again intertwined with. the government health structures. sort of deserving and the need there may be and may have been even before but still there's a capacity to respond. there has been a very high level consultation involving him and by the prime minister himself to address this issue because it is of concern again because of the rather poor state of health of many of the people let's not forget that before the floods because the

food insecurity was enormous in this country a lot of people did not have enough food on their plates every day poverty is a big issue here so you have very weak people. and these are in many cases in most cases the ones of most affected the poorest of the poor they're the ones who have been cultivating in the river beds or working in the river beds for some of the owners so there are people in a very very poor nutritional status these are people who already where you will find a lot of these diseases present it is not new. so if you see reports on. all of these these are not really killing you but you would have scabies escape this is something that has been there all the time. but of course the combination of displaced exposure to the weather no shelter. no clean water.

etc etc you bring this all together you have the already existing diseases and it becomes dangerous however the there has been is an ongoing response the deployment of the necessary medical kits to the various still existing structures medical teams volunteers being deployed so we hope but again there is no guarantee of course we hope to be able to contain it all together. but there is certainly a major risk and again that's why we have a meeting on the highest level bringing all the actors together to to really take and work on an action plan take action work on the action and move forward my last questions and maybe one of the most interesting points that is building dams. the

government of pakistan has always been in controversy of certain dams special dams about dams and several times in the northwest and even in the in the cells in your long term plans did you. assess how you would convince the government. it's to build such dams that to avoid such a catastrophe in the futures are not up to us to convince the government it is in fact up to the government to in fact review together with its partners who are coming forward also with the with the financing of these projects. and some of the private. of course the big a bilateral friends they do have of the shapers however. in this context we are looking forward to a comprehensive plan of we can build back better and avoid in fact future disasters so the extent possible of this extent.

and dams are the management of water in the context of how it flows and where it is retained and now it refilled the water table and so on that is of obviously one of the big issues in in fact the century of climate change and global warming where this needs to be addressed i mean some have predicted more and more of these crises. and again also we should recall that statistically say in every year pakistan is affected by floods and so it is an issue of course which needs to be addressed in the long run again let's take together the opportunity let's see what is the best technical solution to it and it's not up to me to decide which is the good one of the bad one that is up to the to the experts to work

together and i think again it's an opportunity for this partnership. we have. the friends of democratic pakistan process which in fact has been misunderstood for long as a pledging and events. which are not and it is in fact exactly to address. jointly the requirements for change for reform addressing policy you have come up with an energy plan together under the leadership development bank. looking forward now to the implementation of the energy plan which we have by the way hydro energy is one of the major elements and in the same way let's combine this with looking into how water and the floods will be managed and not to have the water as an enemy but as a friend thank you very much if you.

think. this is not a problem but warning. that you should step before you should use a pretty tree they have no idea about the hardships that face. plate one it's this is. all going to need. the army the life. is the most precious thing in the world. of self-sacrifice and terrorism but those who understand it fully but you have to live a. real life stories from. sick. it's

nineteen forty five don't call. security forces step up their efforts in russia's north caucasus killing a dozen urged militants and intensified and to turn down but five policemen also die in the latest. five years on america remembers more than eight hundred victims of hurricane katrina but there's still widespread homelessness in the city of new orleans despite record structural efforts. not it celebrates two years since a russian recognized it as an independent state with a new nation looking for ways to put its strengths in its sovereignty. so the headlines from all see up next all the sports highlights with kate.

hello and welcome to the sports news here from ati in moscow and here are the headlines pulling ahead zip it extend their lead in the russian premier league to six points after three know when a ten man locomotive. while narrow margins darren bent scores a last gasp penalty a sunderland stunning match the city of torres hits liverpool's we're not in the english premier league. back on top lewis hamilton regains the lead in the formula one standings off to win the belgian grand prix head of rival mark webber. but we start with a football and the russian premier league residents and petersburg have stretched their lead at the top of the league of the table following a thumping three nowhere attend the locomotive the hosts dominated possession in the early stages but after seventeen minutes defend that mako bashes foul resulted in a free kick and it was taking very quickly own for the two could take it back to me

i think is it after what seemed a debatable refereeing decision things got even worse for lock up ten minutes into the second hoff after they had midfield that dimitri tobin skee sent off for a second yellow card to send it just ten minutes to take advantage of their extra man and more controversy it's time to be caught off message as the line of locker defender stood rooted to the spot waiting for the referee to go the goal out for offside but he didn't and this also stood to mail and then another ten minutes later the man showed off lost it from outside the area to drive the last nail into the first coughing train on the final score is it six points to the top two kinds of hands that played up to ten. while tests got a seven points adrift in third place after two on high went over the line yet the army men put themselves in front of to just four minutes santosh each hoping across the city to the right. ivorians dancing for joy after the if it until future tense

score in the second half wagner love the provider in this one so too male with twenty to go it seemed would stay this way for so i guess you can shave it tipped over governance in the penalty area in injury time. and rescue did the rest and a manner of consolation. around me and the transit the penalty turned out to be the difference in terms you want to deny aspect it was a goalless first half in siberia but just three minutes after the interval police collided outside the gate scott calls to best stepped up to take ensuring penalty converted it into getting suddenly no more goals followed so when that was the way it ended tom's moving up to eight fifteen m. and ninth in the table. the confirmation of this results to scott being the only capital side to walk out when as both look mighty fine cinnamon struggled. on saturday were being missed the chance to comes immediately to just one point after

a terrible goalkeeping era so it into one of those posts on top notch it on cassette puts the visitors ahead but and not excite equalised just before the half hour millennia van of each made a speculative seventeen need to punt towards goalie sound. because he thinks judge the backs and the boot tied to his head went into the net so one one it finished the game the defending champions of that era the proved costly in time for us. to act one two no time to sponsor moscow china subbed out at school but i now four minutes before the bright the first to know from the floor will not be just eight minutes remaining sufficient to stand and see if the finish that meets them spotted at a six table. the two l's vadis three picks and they. after twenty four minutes starting on top of one of the phone when i was in from last off and five

points yesterday she's a. lot cleaner so that toughness got to the bottom of the one one day etc i didn't say i've got the first but only after eighteen minutes he said peace and just five minutes later events have been off equalized for the visitors. start a confirmation of the standings after sunday's game is in it are six points clear at the top with two games in hand over being a scot are seven points addressed but also have two games to play while at the bottom so they're not propping up the table points behind they have played one game less. so severe will be looking to move off the bottom on monday when they travel to fellow rookies and jake twelve seven points off the relegation zone. while they were in england sunderland grabbed a last minute penalty to win one nil at home to match the city missed the chance to go two points behind premier league leaders chelsea darren bent netted in injury

newcastle drew one one it was. so quick look at the table confirms chelsea still on top the only team with three victories after this race so far asking the second manchester united third and aston villa are false and beaten bolton having them complete the top six one at the bottom of west ham and stoke are yet to pick up any points everton slipped into the drop zone to one point four million so far. all over in spain reigning champions barcelona have allowed record signing zlatan break him of each to go to ac milan on a one year loan deal twenty eight goals we conspired to in syria our side and for you to next summer we would have each scored twenty one goals in forty one games for the last the last season because one side agreed to sell just. thirteen thousand dollars especially if the seven want to be beheaded which displays are into man just monster. for me to go on now and former champion lewis hamilton has

returned to the top of this season's standings following a super win at the belgian grand prix red bulls mark webber started from pole with a slow out of the blocks and cleared the first corner at the spot track down in sixth place hamilton made full use of the australian split to lead the race from then on in this century the first to cross the finish line whether to call his way back to second spot in this accident that race it was not enough to keep him on top of the standings united trails hamilton by three points but this red bull team mates of aston bethel apps are the points that remains third overall head of defending champion chelsea button and under long as i was crashed out for are a sweep a mass i came home fourth spend six in the driver's championship. it was a great weekend. very very tough race for me i think same for everyone but. going to frame for just a race that went smoothly but mostly with tricky conditions where i started to rain . pollution temperature in the tires and her not really knowing how much you can
