long jihad on india and they have funding from outside the country, particularly from the, those benefits and the new state, which is funding such organizations. why a lot this year. so, banning or an organization doesn't serve the purpose, it is important to you know, those people who form the organization the group defended itself on social media, coin the rest on dust and suggesting central agencies are government puppies, human rights activists, kids, he really says the ending goal is destroying democratic values in the country by the sec, goldman is acting out on a b. i try to beat india again,

boosted a, so not really just minor g r b a, b. so that's why it comes to me. that's why these are the people that are being targeted that, that but i, you want to again say that not only do you want to go minor, do those who are making about human rights. democracy, great civil liberties. the army also being target joe government is out with jerry. some people are saying as his and b r i bill can eat wires. right. let's head back now to the african where more than 300 people lost their lives in over half a 1000000 a force to leave their homes. as nigeria has been devastated by high water,

often neighboring cameroon, open the floodgates, and it's dam. reverse state that the humanitarian situation is die as color and malaria. our rates have emerged despite niger and dealing with i know 1st, during the rainy season, these events all consider the worst in years and the government is struggling to deliver the necessary aid and to set up temporary housing. camps for the victims with your son is dealing with his own off the mob off today, the 1st one to the country earlier this month. the you and has one more are, are risk due to the lack of international contributions to emergency fund. unicef says only a 3rd of is target needs have been met. the world needs to come together and help the children in pakistan. together, we can save lives by delivering life, saving,

health, nutrition and education services to every child in pakistan who needs at the most. the rains and floods have already claimed the lives of more than $550.00 children without a significant surgeon support. we fear many more children will lose their lives. while there's a 1000000 people in paris i have in this phase from their homes in august last swabs of the country remain under walter. nearly 600000 b will a currently living in emergency shelters, official fear, millions and now at risk from both of one diseases, food insecurity and malnutrition. while the world community play financial aid to help pakistan overcome the devastation, the money still hasn't been deposited. and to last a lawyer as a geopolitical, as ha, fun shows as the pakistani government kneeves the money. it's been promised. i think what we are seeing now is the reality dawning upon the word that climate

change is something that on be brushed under the rug. it is a reality and it can strike any diamond, but just on happens to be the guidelines and don't know why the. busy does not come forward, we again see that those standards set up and if it's prevalent in the world today, when it comes to certain conflicts and certain situations, the world is eyeing them, the world is rushing to support the people the media has issued in the limelight but when it comes to certain countries, unfortunately, the community does not show that period. one expect to be unfolding and focused on has literally destroyed the country. and if there was a tie in the community to come forward and help focus on it is now as i said earlier, unfortunately, the board is still not able to understand the gravity of the situation. when we look at the pledges that have been made by the countries, a lot of those judges are not actually translated into

a that has come to focus on. now it's one thing to make a pledge and say that we will do this for focus on and the vulnerable population. but it's quite another to make sure that the money actually reaches the hands of the, of the government of august on the age agencies that are active. so, you know, with a fatigue and some sort of, you know, non seriousness that be and nothing is happening beyond talk and media shows which are going on suffering well that rose up this news, our children join us on the top of the out for more international news, the news i ah, russia is the aggression,

if injured much about we have any quality for russians. we have actual racism, bigotry, against russians. it's now dangerous to be russian in europe. so i work with it a nation suddenly dislike, well worth the hotel it he always there and only now come to the for the last 4 with the most for for so for this is rosa will be a new one hasn't been seen before. there was a some do the studies before the door. i knew that i knew you started with, you know, people not daniels die you. it also brings up talk.
