or pakistan's defense capabilities are good.want to beef up our defense capabilities for any incidents and in the future as well. we have to build the muscles of our armed forces. i think that i cannot go into details but i think whether it is the u.n. or other friendly countries, we welcome that kind of support. >> you mentioned something interesting in your remarks about how pakistan contribute to 0.4% of global warming and that you are the most -- the eighth most vulnerable country at this point. and, that some debate has begun about having countries that contribute more to global warming paying or financing affected countries. i thought that was very interesting. what are you hearing in terms of that debate? what kind of pushback and arguments are you hearing at this point. >> because of the debate, pakistan's floods have become a big story. people were shocked when we saw the devastation of the pakistani floods. this is kind of an exhibit of climate change. because of the controversy, whether it is exaggerated and so on. bu

the situation of pakistan is dire but before i do that i like to convey the condolences of pakistan onhe demise of queen elizabeth she was a dignified monarch and rendered services to the people of the united kingdom and humanity a large. and we convey these condolences to the people all over the united kingdom anddm all others around the globe who admired her. let me turn to the flood situation of pakistan. these floods are devastating. you cannot compareas it with any other natural disaster we have had in the past that have had this experience since the 19 fifties but this is the most serious and devastating flood we have faced. as you pointed out is worse than the flood of 2010 because that was also devastating. the flood situation is really bad in the international media has cover that extensively the european media and use the footage of religious townships rescue and relief operations, but they only capture a fraction of the calamity we are facing in pakistan. let me give you a glimpse of the destruction 1400 people have died more than 14000 injured seriously. a population of 20

pakistan, the temperature rose to 51 degrees. that point, it was a kind of heat, and it led to wish her and waters in the air. this was a scientific proven fact. there were depressions, and in the sea, it powered these rains, and they were heavy rains in pakistan. it is estimated that these were 10 times higher international average. the average in the past 30 years. we should have prepared. we are preparing. we had a flood in 2010 and we learned some lessons. there was a system in place. we created a disaster management authority which had branches in all of the districts in the provinces of pakistan, and they were monitoring the situation 24 hours a day. it is an effective organization, but now we have another sport. they are monitoring the flood relief efforts. what want to say is that we were prepared, but we were not prepared for this calamity. it shows our capacity in the mechanism we have created. because, it is unprecedented, and it is not subsided as i speak you now. we should have done better. we were having a conversat

. >> pakistan's ambassador to the u.s. talked about the record levels of flooding in his home country. and the unprecedented devastation. saying the a land submerged under water is about the size of wyoming. about 33 million people have been affected. hosted by the national press club, this is an hour. numbers at the number of people displaced are high. the ambassador will provide us with the latest data, but as a mother of two young children, stood out to me. 400 81 children are among those known dead. >> this is just what we know. the general feeling is that this will be the worst flood to ever hit pakistan. ultimately worse than the flood of 2010. the relief effort needed will be extraordinary. will be asked ordinary. it will be dangerous, as well. pakistan has lost a helicopter and six soldiers in the early ever. it seems clear we are in a situation because of climate change. there are always monsoons in pakistan, but it is significantly higher than any before that. it is record runoff or glaciers. the temperatures con

one thing is very clear, what happened in pakistan will not stay in pakistan. affecting pakistan is so many ways, i sat down with the country's foreign minister, bilawal bhutto zardari, at the united nations here in new york. what is it like for you, your country, one third of it being underwater and this catastrophe that pakistan has endured? . it is devastating, _ pakistan has endured? . it 3 devastating, overwhelming. heartbreaking. i have been in this line of work for quite some time now and i've dealt with monsoons, i've dealt with floods, various disasters, covid—i9 and the covid—i9 pandemic, i don't rememberfeeling so overwhelmed even though having those debates over lockdown it always felt like despite the sheer scale of things, there is a set script and there's a way to manage it. there is no handbook on when there's a 100 clung to the shows up and displaces millions of people. the resources that we have are not enough, the eight that we are getting while incredibly generous, is still a drop in the ocean when it comes to the sheer scale of the tragedy.

i think the issue is just people in pakistan, right? not talking about that needs to change or there's not, there's also a high profile murder, as you pointed out, finished bread that have been several high profile matters of women in focused on this year and the last year as well. and these have prompted a different kind of soul searching an outcry in the country. the names have done into trending hashtags on twitter. let's start with this user. she's saying, when you're a woman in pakistan, you grew up knowing just safely existing is a privilege, and that anyone at any time can take that privilege from you without ever being held accountable. another posting saying, given the grotesque extremes of patriarchal violence, we have witnessed in the last few weeks, if there is any one who fundamentally denies, there is anything wrong with how men are raised in the society. fin, you're beyond help and this user condemning another life. last, another hashtag saying this society has raised monsters and wondering when the cycle of violence and

what has the catastrophe meant for pakistan's agricultural industry while so pakistan is mainly driven by agriculture. so a lot of the times you know, how you assess how an economy is doing. you assess that with, with agriculture it back, assigning, we'd, as our main stable crop and agriculture is over 19 percent of the g, d. p and employs almost 40 percent of labor. so as you can tell, that's really important sector and a little change even. and this is huge, but even a little change can have devastating impacts on the way people move. and so when agriculture is impacted it's the economy is going to have a hit. now how does this flood? there were already worries about pakistan's, our financial situation, some or even saying it might be the next 3 lanka. how was the government coping with this situation? that's now gotten even worse. well, i think that's, that's the biggest question is how will we deal with this? once we go forth is a bigger payment coming in in december. i think it's an international bonds. and what analysts and experts on ground predict that funding bodies like the i

yeah. pakistan. he thought it would be good to have a regime under their influence and cobble and got blue is the soviet laundry court . but they quickly realized that they didn't really control it at all. so lemme sometimes their puppets went their own way. old uncle told them in our meetings with the pakistanis houston, we asked them to rein in the taliban them. and they said it wasn't that easy. ah, me because of course they were on controller lawyers up in albany. lisa may can level a more that the americans didn't have a counterpart in afghanistan, but they knew they couldn't recognize the taliban regime. york whisper epa. they couldn't be associated with it and don't goose soup levies your american did as though the american vision of afghanistan was what was seen through pakistani eyes . not that you like as dan, what had never ruled afghanistan. lucky, they weren't a proper solution to lead the country or policy, but boxley neuropathies hungry. the pakistan is had a tense relationship with co

so, pakistan's former prime minister was ousted from office in april.then charged not long ago under the country's anti-terrorism laws. pakistan's debt situation has been on the decline for several months, and now the big risk is that it risks a default on its loans. the government of pakistan estimates that damages are in the range of $30 billion. that is just a mind boggling amount of money. there are millions, tens of millions of people in need of humanitarian relief right now. and the scale rebuilding from these floods is quite immense. pakistan faces another really big risk driven by climate change, and that is its glaciers. and climate change, of course, is making glaciers melt at an accelerating pace, creating a series of lakes. and there's the risk of these lakes bursting. one of the most urgent needs now is to build an early warning system. ali: somini, it was interesting. rlier this week, the pakistani ambassador to the united states mentioned that they had put in place early warning systems back in 2010, the last time there were these horrifi

that's an international disaster relief charity sending a team to pakistan. he told us more about the needs of those affected by the floods . well, thesis she's scale of the need is your report reflected over 30000000 people have been affected and it's not just that they have lost their homes that they've been separated from their children. over half of the $30000000.00 affected our children . it's also other impacts that has including health impact due to sewage mixing with flooding water, creating unsafe drinking conditions and a potential health crisis on top of the sheer logistics of trying to reach the most vulnerable with aid at this time. so it is a crisis that goes beyond just flooding and property destruction, to health crisis and a food crisis that we have to address the same time and so on. do you have an idea of which communities need help the most to mean? is there any way to get an overview of the extent of the damage in the need? well, we know that much of the flooding is centered around the north of sin province and possible. ok, so you can ac

pakistan will absolutely need assistance.ter to respond to because they take so long. an earthquake is 30 or 90 seconds, a fire passes through an area, a volcano may erupt for a week or so, but floods can go on for months and you cannot get the recovery until the emergency is over so floods are the most difficult, this is covering a lot of terrain, the pakistan military can respond very well but no country can do this on their own and people should help pakistan. that is an interesting point but that is obvious and simple but we have not heard much of that analysis that have difficulty in responding to flooding is because the time pressure. what are the risks, particularly with water and with flooding? well, you get a lot of unusual risks, one of which is the need for snake anti venom. snake swims in floods. you get a lot of snake bites and you get waterborne diseases and you also get catastrophic destruction of the logistics chains. during the flood and immeidately afterwards, you have got to do a lot by air and by boat, man
