the, the, the speed that we need is live from berlin. benjamin. yeah. dissolve his war cabinet. the decision follows the resignation. earlier this month of center has national unity party leader benny guns. these really war cabinet was formed shortly after the october 7th terror attacks by ha, also coming world leaders vacuum grains independence and territorial integrity. at a summit in switzerland, they also call for dialogue with russia, which was not invited to the topics and as russia per raise of nuclear hardware of intentions over ukraine,

a new reports as rival nations are ramping up spending on atomic weapons. the really good time you're with us and it's really official says that prime minister benjamin netanyahu has dissolved israel's war cabinet that's after minister benny guns and his national unity party. quit the government on june 9th. the move comes as israel continues its military operations in the gaza strip. israel's army has said it would implement the daily tactical pons along a road and southern gaza to allow a deliveries through the key. karen shall long border crossing. the earlier we spoke to our correspondence, rebecca ritter's in jerusalem and asked her why benjamin netanyahu has those off the war cabinet now. well, this hasn't come as a surprise nicole. it was largely expected off of any guns and got he either caught

didn't stand down from the wall cabinet level cabinet, was made around about october 11th, last year. just talked to the breakout of the war uh at the behest of any guns who said that he would come on board to provide a more unified for the unity government as it is known here. to try to guide the guide as well through these complex time. and now since they've stood down, the apartment is to have this office now says that it is no longer needed. this will cabinet, but it's largely sold. that's because of fall right minnesota. it's a mob been via the national security minister was pushing to be loud in to that will cabinet and that's something that's a problem. so benjamin netanyahu clearly wasn't in favor of and certainly wouldn't have pleased israel's ally the united states. so instead he's decided to dissolve a cabinet completely instead. now decisions will go to a wider security cabinet on which it's my been via and the finance minister a bit slow smoke trick, both heading ultra nationalist potties in the coalition. now,

both on security in that security cabinet and we'll be overseeing some of the decisions being made, although it is thought that they will also be smaller consultative groups made up in an ad hoc fashion and they may contain various members that benjamin netanyahu picks at the time for particular decisions, but it is being said or at store, in some circles at this situation may actually favor benjamin netanyahu is looking for ways not to enter this floor, even though there's a lot of international pressure to do so. and by, by allowing or by, in fact, having to have these decisions go to a why the security cabinet that do include these whole coach members they, they have already said that they do not want to see an end of the world of until all the military items has been met as so that could work. and benjamin netanyahu safe? yeah. rebecca, this is not the only political headache for now. yeah. what seems israel's military and it's government don't really see eye to eye on the issue of those so called

tactical pauses that were announced over the weekend. what more can you tell us? yeah, that's right. these were announced yesterday pretty early in the morning by the is randy military, that that would be these 11 hour tactical pauses on a particular humanitarian route that has been demarcated. now shortly after that announcement. so these fall right ministers, namely but it's no small bits of us much and it's a mob been very both came out against them and then we heard from the prime minister's office. so, or at least it was reported to have come from the prime minister's office. the benjamin netanyahu was also upset by this news showing a kind of a rift between the military and what benjamin netanyahu is planning for them to do . so. it's not the 1st time we've seen a difference in opinion and difference in issues that we'll have to say what comes of these pauses and whether they'll continue given that risk. the w corresponded rebecca rivers from jerusalem. thank you. and a quick look now at some of the stories making headlines around the world. chinese

state media say at least 4 people have died and land slice in the south eastern province of food, young, heavy rains have sold the region for the last week with flooding, forcing tens of thousands from their homes. forecasters are predicting yet more rainfall in the coming days, so austria's ruling conservative party has said it will take legal action after the countries environment administer help the you pass a new conservation law. the green party administer defined both the chancellor and the government and his country. the flagship policy aims of to a restore the use to create an ecosystem. so maybe nations want the territorial integrity of ukraine to be the basis of any agreements to end 2 years of war with russia. the call came after a 2 day summit on peace and switzerland to which russia was not invited. oscar with ally china did not attend either more than a dozen countries, including major non aligned nations,

chose not to endorse the final declaration. the switch summit was the 1st high level forum focused on a pathway to p as the 1st of all the war effort. it was also an attempt by the west to involve of the countries in peace f. it's based on international little this is not about the wide or left political ideas. this is not about northern or seldom countries. this is about respect of international lo i'm human rights, us foundational principles. before leaving together, the consequences of invasion go far beyond the confines of your. indeed, in many ways, africa has been the great victim of the confidence of the blockade of the black sea . i have had devastating impacts on our economists and those standards of living.

the documents signed by 84 countries and other groups calls for concrete action on 3 major issues. the 3 challenges have been analyzed in detail and divorced based summit nuclear safety for the security and the release of prisoners as deportees, including thousands, thousands of children. abducted by rush went home. the delegates were clear about the summit limits. russia wasn't invited, but days before the meeting president vladimir putin laid out his own vision for peace. he's insisting on cup potato lation, he's insisting on seating ukrainian territory, even territory that to date does not, is not occupied by him. he's insisting on this arming ukraine, leaving it vulnerable to future. the russian no country would ever accept

these outrageous terms. the t nations did not induce the documents, including freaks, members, india, saudi arabia, in south africa. and several countries accused west the nations of absorbing a double standard with regards to other conflicts. we could not be talking about peace and here we joining selves, africa without mentioning other your money inside the jews as the one taking place in that sense. international knowing that you and charter must be respected in every case. there was no consensus on how russia should be brought to the negotiating table. but zalinski said he was already in thoughts with several nations about hosting a 2nd summit to continue to push for you. craig zuber ration as a while world leader is trying to find an end to the war, a crane. there's been a surge in spending among nuclear armed states on weapons of mass destruction. the

stockholm, international peace research institute has released a report warning nuclear weapons having played such a prominent role in global relations since the cold war. russia and his allies, bella roost, carried out more nuclear drills this month. the exercises were designed to discourage west during support for ukraine. in a separate report, the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons icon says there was a $10000000000.00 increase in global spending on nuclear weapons last year. and we can now bring in dan smith, he's the director of the stall, come international peace research institute down. welcome to the w. tell me, how could i get all that money spent on nuclear weapons be put to better use as i mean, i think the difficulty is deciding among so many important priorities. we have a ecological crisis which bodily needs money. we have

a green transition that we need to invest in. the development spending is under pressure, i'm going down. there are increasing calls for humanitarian funds to be available. numerous countries in western europe as well as in the developing world, need more infrastructure, spending their prices and health provision in education. there, there are so many cool is up on the, on the available resources that we have. that's it really is striking that so much money seems to be so easily available for weapons of mass destruction compared to how much is available for ordinary citizens. while fi? yeah, that's it. do you think ukraine, we just talked about the piece? somebody would find itself in the situation. it is in right now, if it had not given up it's nuclear weapons to russia. it's

a hypothetical question. obviously, i'm therefore difficult to answer. one can easily say that's a nuclear armed ukraine might not have come under attack, but remember that territory was attempted to be seized from the u. k, which is a nuclear power biology. and taylor, which is not for 2 years ago in german practiced on both nuclear arm to have had face offs and military clashes of the borders of a decades, including the last 20 years when they both had nuclear weapons. and in addition, i think the important thing is to say that in the early 1992 is gwen ukraine, is a month and most as an independent state of the soviet union. and had nuclear weapons on his territory. or technically one could say, or legally one could say they could have taken over those weapons, but they did not have the capacity as a state at that time as a government to be able to control those nuclear weapons. and so the why is the

correct thing to do was indeed to make sure that they went to a country that was able to control them, no cost to them, which in that case was russia. and then of course, that was the budapest memorandum which gave undertakings to, to ukraine. and that has not been respected neither by russia, by nor by the western powers who agreed to support ukraine, word where it's sovereignty ever to be challenged. so it's an interesting hypothetical across them, but in my mind, there is no doubt but for the safety of all of us. yeah, the right thing to do in the early ninety's was to hand back the nuclear weapons. let's look at the situation at hand right now. then since russia's war in ukraine, there's been less transparency over nuclear development. that's another finding of your report. where does that put us in terms of monitoring and control of weapons of mass destruction? what goods this in a very difficult place, and it also puts us in a difficult place because arms control between the us and russia on nuclear weapons

as more or less collapsed. russia has suspended his participation in the strategic dick and control agreement. and then you stop tracy, which came into force and originally in trend 2011. so we, we have much less transparency. we're very clear. and the report that we present these figures are estimates we believe in them quite strongly. we are confident about them, but we have not been able to, no one has been able to count the weapons one by one. there's a large factor of estimation and, and that of course is what are you and things could be going on. we do not know about and that was dan smith, the director of the still com, international piece research institute. thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us today. thank you. thank you very much. and china and millions of people are trying to cope with 2 types of extreme weather. flooding from heavy

rains is killed at least one person and forced tens of thousands to evacuated in the country south. the north, meanwhile, sweltering through a heat wave that's raised fears of a drought. another sweltering day in northern china here in the capital badging residents or adapted finding ways to beat the heat. was built for the time that we were things like neck gators, otherwise when we get sunburned, actually i already got sunburn because you can see on my skin anyways, with bay things, whether you're either going to get scores, you know, with or suffix either for most of there's only those 2 options. so meanwhile, much of southern china has been dealing with torrential rain full in food john province. days of heavy rains triggered land slide trapping a passing truck. at least 4 people have died with the further to reported missing.

large parts of food, john were under water on the weekend. as river level surged, forcing authorities to evacuate tens of thousands of people. but you're going to shoot an invoice in john g province from shield, which has many urban areas and city streets were abortion water. elsewhere in the grand g region, rescue teams were hard at work, bringing people to safety. as countless homes and villages were inundated, the chinese government has issued repeated calls to step up preparedness in anticipation of more severe weather. heavy rain is expected to continue in the coming days with several central provinces affected. while the heat wave in northern china shows no sign of letting up to to set a goal now where people are paying a fortune to get their hands on. giant cheap, the breed of price for its imposing heights and horns. their owners keep their

to go take with you to his mother as you see and stuff. are she still alive? yes, a big jump in. and her father was cool. major a grandfather was boston, it's on the 1st sheet to read you. hi, to wilma, would see me to book jesse to the fall by food, mid nearby mas stuff, a sec takes care of his family. she gives them bits of bins to help keep the flock in top condition and he's happy to show off his champion sheet, named after the country's new prime minister. when he was born, it was the moment when we had lots a pipe. and that was because of all, some on some kind of a home. and we saw that it was a tree patriots. a water, you know, is no one who is strong. this is what sancho does. she was born, but the good to the style sheet, but helping to make set a goal famous someone's breeders. and they are now so popular here. the beauty pageants full of them on tv,

with big cash prizes. muslims from around the world have visited saudi arabia for the annual hodge pilgrimage. the ritual is one of the largest mass gatherings in the world. almost 2000000 people took part a mit sweltering conditions. officials and saudi arabia say at least 14 people died because of the extreme hate. once the muslims from around the world travel to saudi arabia to the sacred spiritual experience, the highest pilgrimage is a chance to walk in the footsteps of prophets and spends 5 or 6 days, often during hot summer with among the rituals is the stoning of the table where ship is throw safe in stones 3 concrete pools symbolized in medieval, in the mean of valley. located just outside is lambs wholly,

a city of mika. many customs take place out doors and on foot. a challenge and temperatures of 45 degrees or more. of the house is a difficult task, so you have to exec effort and perform the rituals even in the heat and crowding you use an umbrella drink water and put it onto your body to prevent dehydration and the water spring causing the walkways help. my mother i brought about, besides, saudi arabia has, sees up climate controlled areas to help manage the hate with officials distributing voice. so to keep people co to the highest one of the 5 basic obligations of being muslim. if we believe a who has the means is encouraged to perform the pilgrimage, at least once in a lifetime. after decades of conflict as gattis time has become one of the country's most affected by left over land lines and other munitions.

almost 4000000 people are exposed to the constant risk of being harmed. united nations bigger say, nearly 900 people were killed or wounded by left over munitions from january of 2023 to april this year alone. many of them children and exploding 9 my injured 13 year old months, hon. and for the last april, he wasn't the fees, but his brother, bending their sheep and much better, wanted to play with the line mind they had found it blew up. his brother died and emma was injured. i missed my brother. i want to have village to be cleared. if months my brother was killed in future, this should not happen to others. un fees minds can. i've tried every other day and i've gotten this done. any longer, do you mind this from the british organization? hello, trust. don't the admission do that to get all minds from the country, the,

on our land mines and things that don't need them in a bit covered with sun bags. they also teach mine of reading this class is enough. gone villages the class to the helping children. none how dangerous different things are. children are thoughts that sort of marked easier on save you to that we don't go to the places where the stone is blue. we know it's dangerous and we go to the places where the stone, he's white because we know those areas are not dangerous. as the de mining efforts costs a lot of money either to be conflicts mean there's less funding than did used to be the internationally recognized by the button government is not trusted by internationally. don't us we have a number of mind action engineers who are capable and who have been working here some as far as 1998, who still have the capacity, the equipment, the knowledge,

the leadership, the skills, and the technical ability to conduct this. the mining, they just need financing to get the workforce back together to go out to what war may have left us on this done. but the remnants of nearly 4 decades of successive conflicts continue to destroy lights or responsibility by the ball was informed in those conflicts, could save pressure of lives. and we can now welcome james cohen, he is the ceo of the halo trust the and g o you saw in that report is now working to clear landlines and i've got a son in other countries. james could have you on d w. now that, and can you tell us where these mines, an unexploded ordnance come from, who put them there to? well, as you know, the more enough kennestone went on for a very long time. so it's the, the landlines reflect that longevity, some of the minds are from the soviet era when uh, so that you need evaded as kind of stone in 1979. and from the 10 years ago that

followed some of the millions of from the ne table from, from 2001 of woods. and so it is a real mix of different types of minds and what codes are you use, improvise expensive devices and those devices can main indiscriminate and they did a cat who liked them and they end up getting people of to women and children. many, many years of events and they could show that some $44.00 children have been killed every month. enough kind of stones at to this day. yeah, so just to be clear here, international forces who came to afghanistan to free the country and the power button might well be to blame for some of the harm that is leading the country to this day. the international coalition. uh, find your brand day to, to not play any landlines. okay. what it did to the was use munitions and some of those munitions to lie around as kind of stone and meet the kids. the bulk of the

contamination is about improvise exposure device is one of these in amongst the community and needs because they're extremely dangerous and we are what some hard with the stuff that we have to upsize and stuff. and that's kind of stone carrying this. munitions, is the true extent of the problem in afghanistan known yet to? no, i don't think so. and we'd be watching the now since 1988. we've created phenomenal number of devices, but we have a lot more what to do. and what i would include your listeners is to think people might deplore the taliban, they might dislike the politics. but the st calendar about the people are that's kind of stone and the innocent civilians who uh, being honed by the international communities with total funding to what degree in

education which is a big part of the work that you do. and it's kind of standing around the world help to reduce that's from lines and other unexploded devices that are left behind after combat. that's absolutely right. and because much of our work is about the actual demolition to expose this. but we used to go into schools. we talked to communities, we reach people and we tell them whether it be when adult children or adult men, that they must be extremely careful because particularly for children, some of these devices look like toys. but they are extremely useful. and so what we can do for very little money to reach those communities and explain to them why they mustn't touch them. can be like setting you talked about a help from the international community, financial aid to the ask and people we only have about 30 seconds. but i don't want to let you go without asking you what can be done to stop left over munitions from taking more lives in afghanistan. what can be done on the international level?

me i would encourage you international donors to keep the faith with this kind of stone. you know, germany for example has been a fantastic toner uh to the close of the landline carriers. i would really ask jim to stop doing that. we must continue. know there are, there are other commitments elsewhere in the world and ukraine and non and gaza as kind of stone as a forgotten conflict, which must not be left on that side. because if, if it is left many, many more thousands of people will suffer. as james callan, the ceo of halo many things, and congratulations on the very important work that you do over there. thank you. as a reminder of the top story i'm following for you today, and it's really official says that prime minister benjamin netanyahu dissolved the war cabinet that's after minister of any guns and his national unity party. equipped the government on june 9th. and with us now to find out how artificial intelligence could help save german 4 is that up on tomorrow today,

after the break and completely thank you so much for your company. the
