for international help. villages are submerged in the southwest in ballard. tristan province and punjab in the east. southern send province has also been swamps. the area has recorded an excessive amount of rain than it usually gets at this time of year. more than 900 people have died and rescue work as the struggling to reach thousands who were stranded. then beth ravi reports from sind province. a pause in rain, a chance to survey the disaster that is unfolded in pakistan. 2 months into the monsoon season, the country has declared a national emergency pakistani leaders including the prime minister himself, seeing the floods up close, promising to mobilize more aid. but the skies have dumped so much water. no amount of help seems like enough driving through the water log interior of sin, the province. you'd be hard pressed to spot a single rescue crew. but death and destruction abound. who will save us? when will the waters recede? what happens now? people in floods stricken pockets and left with questions, but little else. marty. knew no one comes here, not the landlords. no one from

rains starting from upcountry, like swat area, and then it ends up to baluchistan, also affecting punjaband sindh. in baluchistan, the situation started earlier, where i was in the beginning of august and i was also there since yesterday, and during my whole trip there was a continuous rain and the rain was continuously destroying more and more infrastructure. that included the houses of the people, livelihood assets, as well as the public infrastructure, bridges, roads, so it's a destruction everywhere, and if i compare it with 2010 floods, the situation is worse. 33 million people in total are impacted because of this flood. 4.2 million are directly affected. around 100 districts across pakistan are severely affected by these floods, so it's one of the mega disasters we have seen in our recent history. and the situation is threatening to get even worse. how much support are you able to currently offer, and what are your concerns going forward? you are very much right. the situation is unfolding day by day and it's becoming worse and worse. before, it was a flash flood. now, another phe

we had a flash flood of a magnitude in southern punjab causing an additional wave of floods. not enough, we have also had potentially untold cloud outbursts upstream which is now flooding. please remember, our rivers and dams are still filling up. there is no riverflooding as yet except for one. this is the first floods in pakistan's history that climate experts tell us it indicates the change in the monsoon cycle for the first time. it is like fighting... no country has the capacity to deal with so many sectors. our resources are stretched and a lot of infrastructure that we had in northern areas will be under pressure. half a century of infrastructure has been washed away. in ukraine — the ukrainian army continues its fight—back in the south of the country. ukraine's forces have shelled a factory in the russian—occupied town of nova kakhovka. a lawmaker for the region said the russians had set up a military command centre in the factory producing naval equipment. a moscow—appointed official said missiles had hit the factory, the town itself and the local hydro—electric dam.

same goes for punjab as well. look at that down port in the hor, and then we've got more activity once again coming from western areas of india. the prediction for pakistan was above average monsoon rains for the month of august, and so far it is delivering. now for india, the states a motto pradesh, and chatted, scar this where we've got the heaviest downpours as his activity moves toward the west. and then where there is no rain falling in. that suns out that allows the temperature and shy to shoot up to $36.00 degrees. also high temperature is across the yang see river valley. so shanghai, yep. i think you're going to do it on monday. get up to 40 degrees. once again. tropical storm has raced away from tokyo. there it is, right, there are the remnants of it. mostly calm conditions, 34 degrees, but then we've got this slug of rain across the korean peninsula. pouring into northern sections of honshu. so more rain for flood hit areas of sol. we also had flooding in northern in central honju. we're more than half

but villages are submerged in southwestern baluchistan and eastern punjab provinces. pakistan's climate change minister says baluchistan has received nearly 500 per cent more than the average rainfall in the month of august. in recent days, the southern sin province has also been hit by flood waters. it's registered more than 780 percent more rain and it usually gets at this time of year. same as robbie has been to some of the affected areas. his, his report from so on city in sin, promise. driving into interior stand villages, communities all across this province remain almost completely water logged as we were driving up, people had blocked the roads with rocks. these were just regular folks. poverty stricken really struggling, just asking for any sort of help asking for any sort of money. this is a very, very, a struggling part of the country. and as you can see, people live here and very basic conditions. most of these houses are all muddy and brick dwellings for basic foundation. and so when the water comes rushing through and when these areas become so water log, you don't even ne
