the, the, this is the, the, the news going to lie from berlin, russian president vladimir putin, hales, north, korea for supporting his war and ukraine. routines, comments. com, just hours before what most goes, calling a friendly state visit to pyongyang. 4 talks with leader kim jong on also coming up protests flare in israel over benjamin netanyahu, who is handling at the conflicting gaza. this says israel's military says, control and profit is within reach, and then just rarely hausten she go, she later cautions it goes, halting the war until all captives are released. and if you don't mind creepy crawly, as will show you a very rare natural event,

the great cicada invasion taking place across parts of the united states, the hello, i'm terry martin. good heavy with this russian president vladimir putin, his praise north korea for its support of his war in ukraine. virginia's comments were published as he made his way to sean yang, where he set to hold talks with north korea's leader kim jong on 14 also said the 2 countries would work closely together to circumvent us lead international sanctions put his 2 day visit is his 1st trip to north korea in 24 years. north korean leader, kim jong, and in russia last you shaking hands with his russian counts upon lot to my present demand. he now caused an invincible comrade in arms such as a do in strips north korea and just said racing with came the latest demonstration

of deepening toys between moscow and fuel. yeah. the throughout the series of the united states have drawn close to since russia lost its full scale invasion of ukraine. finding friendship, i mean growing global life selection. but it's the relationship that still concerns in the west. south korean and us officials say the north has been feeding the russian blooms, she's sending millions of munitions to must go. they say russia in baton has provided most career with military technology. and you can only kate in defiance of un resolutions. soul in washington have held an emergency cool to discuss the visit . but despite the western criticism, the kremlin said it has every right to develop ties with killing yet and shouldn't be challenged for doing so. this comes this tensions on the korean peninsula. steadly built the us and south korea recently conducted joints era exercises

between a b one strategic moment to allow for the shooting for you did the 1st precision guided building drill even 7 years south korea this month to scrap to minute tree packed with the north, allowing it to resume combat drills on that shared folder. so for ritz pod said it was responding to a barrels of north korean blooms, filled with the seas and trash that was sent towards us out. well for more let's cross over to taipei and speak with dw east asia correspondent, james traitor, who filed that report. and we are also joined by dw, russia corresponded you say, gosh schuman off ski, who joins us from reagan as the w was banned from operating in russia. but to see you both say, gosh, let's start with you. being visited by a russian president is a big deal for north korea. why is vladimir protein making this trip as

well? terry, for vladimir, putting the main thing on his agenda these days is of course the war in ukraine. and this is also the reason why he's coming back to the north korea and he's coming back, but it's his 1st visit in 24 years. he's been the only was as russian leader of back in the year 2000. and as you've mentioned before, as she has praised this support that russia receives from north korea and the he said that russia highly appreciate north korea support for the russian special military operation in ukraine. of course, his words for, for the word in ukraine. so a way of phone tends to ridiculous relationship. north korea really has was letting me put in and russian need at this point, which is a munition particularly to liberty munition, for the war effort in ukraine. did us and south korea have warranted that north korea, north korean war, arms exports the russia have and are one to rise ever since that control and

visited russia back in september of last year. and so putting is coming to north korea with big delegation, the range of officials, including deputy prime ministers, including the defense minister, heads of russian space agency of russian railway. so the support for the russian war effort will be the main point on letting me put these agenda. james in taipei. what is north korea is ruler, kim jones calling, hoping to get out of this meeting of the well, of course, one of the really critical things that kim joining is going to be looking for is simply legitimacy. remember, it's a very rare occurrence for a foreign leader to, to visit north career and for kim jones to be able to receive an international leader on the scale of ultimate truth. and even showing me young, sort of symbolic significance advances is something to be notices. of course,

the minute tree and technological hardware is going to be front and center of the concern. so for kim, joanne, as we understand us and south korean officials have been talking about this over recent months, that won't king joining is going to be really looking for as we believe in exchange for those weapons that we believe he is sending to russia is support whether it's for example, spice satellite program, i'm for its weapons program in contravention of, of un resolutions. but of course, the even broad context will have a says that the, that russia and north korea have the shad geo political belief that the us will be in different contexts as trying to him in that countries to, for us and that countries. and that's what we really see with this backdrop of, of west wing times between the 2 crates, between north and south korea, which is again the north korea believing that the us is trying to rain, bring its allies together in the, in the pacific to threats and new increased security, and we see even in, in the hours leading up. so this arrival of prison that has been exchange of fire

across the team with a choice or not between the 2. chris is a gosh headed to visit the preteen said russia and north korea would be working together to overcome sanctions from the west. how might they go about doing that as well? russia is the, is a pay more permanent vendor of the united nations security council. and in that capacity, russia has supported and implementing in sanctions on north korea over its nuclear end. and missile programs, particularly between 20062017. however, russia has a reversed course since then, and particularly after invading ukraine in 2022. russia, together with china have blocked the efforts to adopt strength, stricter sanctions over north korea's ballistic missile tests. and to give you an example of this year, russia a voted against renewing the mandates of

a u. n. united nations. the expert panel, which was charged with monitoring the implementation of already existing sanctions . and on a symbolic level and area of this you're putting presents, it's conjunction with a high end. russian made lim was in with which experts say is in itself a breach of already existing sanctions, which russia is well supported. so we expect that that'd be a pushing and kim jump on will work during this visit on more schemes to enhance traits and military ties and technology exchange. a james, it's been only 9 months since the last meeting between putting in cam. if that alliance is growing stronger, where does that leave china? it's a key partner for both north korea and russia and the dominant player in the region

here, what is absolutely no doubt. and this, the lines between rusher and north korea is growing of a stronger and that's the concern about will not try lot to access. if those 3 countries you mentioned, just want them deepening ties across the board meetings, 5 for western alliances in the region, but it was southern nationally. i had of this meeting. we actually had a senior us on a list of the korean peninsula writing about this summit. describing this, somebody says the greatest threats to us national security since the korean war, the argument he makes there is that the roster is going to be able to support samuel cray as we've been talking about with its weapons program. but as it relates to china, china has historically sorts of rain in some of the move all this whole behavior or showing. yeah. remember, it's not in china's interest to see an escalation in the korean peninsula being at the rights of neva, all of north korea. but i think what we really seeing here, this poor, the trends and these deepening alliances between these 3 countries,

remember, a person was given the right copy. welcome and paging. know, look, go, is really this deepening of ties between 3 powers which are deeply skeptical of the us led to global or the, um and i'm, i'm really wants to, i think the concern really in the west being that they could then spread that belief among countries that they influence around the wealth. james j gosh, thank you to you both. uh, was james trader in taipei and they're in rica. gosh sherman elsie, let's take a look at a few other stories making headlines around the world. today. thailand's former prime minister tax in general, what has been formerly indicted for allegedly insulting the monarchy back in 2015. she don't want only recently return to thailand a was jailed shortly after arriving on separate charges. and then given the royal pardon a series of high profile political legal cases or ongoing and thailand this week,

they tow secretary general, installed and back says a record 23 of the 32 members of the alliance are on track to get spending targets of 2 percent of g d p. so back told us present joe biden. the alliance members are spending more money than ever on us defense equipment. the surge and alliance spending comes as result of rushes invasion of ukraine. we, in the u. s. over 75000000 people are under extreme heat alerts. temperature is above $32.00 degrees celsius or hitting the midwest in northeast or it's usually 10 degrees cooler. this time of year is high. heat will continue to spread affecting most of the us population this week. at least 11 people are dead and more than 60 missing. following to ship, our ex, off italy, southern coast, a german, a group rescued, 51 migrants from a sinking by which in town,

10 bodies trapped inside the vessel. italy and coast guard picked up 11 passengers from another boat east of calabria. is israel's army has said, it is on his way to meeting him us in the city of rafa and expects to gain full control of the area within a few weeks. meanwhile, thousands of anti government protesters clash with police near the prime minister's residence in jerusalem on monday, officers arrested and number of people. the demonstrators were protesting this and you know, who's handling of the war and demanding new elections to replace them. they're also calling for a deal with some us militants to secure the release of hostages held you guys. so now let's bring in d, w as rebecca rivers here. she joins us from jerusalem. rebecca, thousands of protesters have been on the streets calling for prime minister. nothing, you know, who has resignation. his government coalition has been weakened. does he still have

the support? he needs to stay in office as well. terry and prime minister benjamin netanyahu, popularity and so hasn't been a very high at all since the beginning of the school since october 7. but support for his policies have be generally high across the board. we all starting to see of course, these protests gains meant him and gain a for us the team, but they are still very much a minority of the israeli public. even in the beginning of the what we was saying, people considered to be suddenly on the left and even fall list who were turning their support towards what israel was trying to achieve in gaza. simply so shocked and horrified by the events of october 7 that they too were on the side of completing israel's military aims of ousting her mouse and timing from the gallons a strip. we are starting to see the tide turn not entirely against the will, but certainly there is no more support for being hosted as hon. it's certainly

recent polling suggests that a more his ratings are in favor of, of reaching some kind of hostage deals, some kind of political deal to be able to bring the remaining hostages back alive. and as well, the bodies of the remains of those who are not no longer alive, and that is a more popular than completing the items in, in, gone. so in terms of a mil military efforts, we're even starting to see that from these ready military, as you mentioned in the late in the, these are the military saying that they're coming to completing the tasks and rough or, and they're the angling for more targeted approach. more sort of special ops operations going in as, as the war increasingly moves towards a more ruler in search and say they're looking now of course towards the northern border with 11 on and the fight with has full of it's happening and he's teasing out the so you know, support for the policies do remain though he is starting to lose the small of total

support for the war. and yet there's massive pressure on nothing yahoo, both domestically and internationally. is there any indication, rebecca, that that pressure will cause this in yahoo to rethink his approach to the war. are well known as histories only things to go by and certainly all the pressure that is being placed, as you say, from both sides from within his coalition. the found right, members of his coalition and the from the united states, particularly, but other western allies that hasn't really changed the course of the will so far. and now we're starting to see slight divisions of fishes appear, even between the military and the pilot politic and benjamin netanyahu apparently are seemingly very keen to keep this will going. he does not want to see the post cause of will period. he has not given any plan for what will, what that will look like or what is around its fix. it has to see in the goals the

strip, and that's one of the reasons why the most interest so called centers benny got stood down from the wood cabinet with a that was he was in we 5 minutes to benjamin netanyahu because he said that there was no plan and he could no longer stay on that in that cabinet. so you know, definitely we're seeing some changes potentially, but i don't think the pressure is really getting through to change benjamin netanyahu. his course. rebecca, thank you very much. that was our correspondent in jerusalem. rebecca rivers now the united nations has welcomed the is really military's announcement of tactical pauses in southern gaza, but said more needs to be done to get a to people in need, especially children. the world health organization says more than $8000.00 children under 5 have been diagnosed and treated for acute malnutrition agencies. also say children like access to sufficient health care in gaza and are living in

a constant state of fear is james elder is a spokesperson for eunice fee. joining us from rafa in southern gaza and told us how the humanitarian situation there has evolved over the past months. look, it's gotten so much worse. no one should be surprised by that since march. those same children have had 2 or 3 more months of relentless bombardments every not as before as we were getting this sorted out over there at the bottom. and see now last night the night before. if it's not bombardments, it's drones, either attack drones or drones that are like a low mile or in your head. this continues to go on. i the right fear is that it's a normalized. there is nothing normal about children being deprived food. there's nothing normal about thousands of children being bone. there's certainly nothing normal about the constant fee of the people living. so people now physically and psychologically shifted, they were in march somehow they've held on, but they are literally now just holding on with a dye,

lack of water with nutrition, consistent and all that i add on going indiscriminate, indiscriminate attacks. i've just come back from the hospital games. the children with liam is missing with our, with, with, with a met being my blind in the last few days while sleeping in the home. it's $250.00 days. that's how things are compared to match. now moving on to brussels, you leaders meeting their have delayed a decision on who should leave the block for the next 5 years. european commission present or is left on the line is seeking backing for a 2nd term. but talks and brussels broke up in the early hours of tuesday with alta deal, dw corresponded jack patrick is following the twists and turns of the negotiations . everyone turn died all 2070 you leaders came here to brussels or of the douglas from across the you. but this summit, this dinner,

the leaders didn't manage to come to an agreement on who would take the top jobs in the e u, the very powerful jobs for the next 5, the is the time. so president saw me. so he came out, i talked to him and said they never asked what he meant to instruct the source absolutely clear from the beginning, and not the surprise it don't the purpose to the west next to make a decision. then by the way, to make the decision it with this, suppose there's something different in terms of the legion process. so uh, this explains uh, the full and the suite it was splint this meeting so that there was your keys in prison. this is a central fuse to be transferring to each other to share the concerns of protein, the host respect patients so that everyone can listen to everyone. now he might have been done playing that, but there are lots of people in this room. well, really expect saying that names would be a nines during this informal summit here in brussels. it's widely expected that the

european commission presidents us live on the line will be proposed to keep her job . she has put a lots of effort into a campaign to try and make that happen. there are the names in the mix, the, some of the, of the top jobs, the custodian prime, is to kind of kill us, the former portuguese prime minister, antonia acosta. for some of the other jobs, but i've been hearing from some of my sources here in brussels that actually fresh names were proposed by some of the leaders in the meeting during the discussions that they had. all of this though, needs to come down to advice and there is a formal official, some it's happening in brussels next week right here, thursday and friday where they will vote on the people that put forward. and then we will have a much clearer picture on who will be in charge of the you for the next 5 years are now to a natural event of biblical proportions. the biggest invasion of cicada is an over 200 years has hit the united states to so called rooms are emerging from the ground

at the same time, creating massive swarms as loud as you've ever heard. we'll talk to a cicada scientist in a moment, but 1st let's take a look at what's happening in the us. it's being called a cicada apocalypse, but although they have zombie red eyes, the insect in a group known as magic, a k to or periodicals. and kate is don't bite transmit disease or pose a danger to eco systems that they are pretty loud. magic cicada adults around only for a few weeks emerging from under ground to meet and lay eggs on trees. before dying . young insects cold nymphs hatched from the eggs after several weeks fall to the ground and burrow in the num spend many years living in the soil. feeding on the roots of plants before all of them emerge at once, molten 2 adults and begin this cycle all over again. not all

periodical cicada is emerging the same years. those that appear at the same regular intervals in the same geographic locations are called broods over a dozen broods are found in a range covering most of the eastern united states. 2 of the largest are now emerging simultaneously. it's the 1st time these 2 brutes have come out together since $1803.00. that's because one of the brutes only emerges every 17 years, while the other emerges every 13 years to prime numbers and overlapping. emergence of both populations, therefore only happens every 221 years. sub to a trillion of the insects could appear in the coming weeks. then these 2 large broods of cicadas, modem merge at the same time again until 2245. to the euro,

2024 here in germany now in france managed to narrow one new win over austria, french, captain kelly and bobby. it came off in the ninety's minute with a broken nose after colliding with an austrian defender, its own clear what that means for friends when they face group the leaders, the netherlands on friday. monday also saw the 1st match day for teams in group e. it ended with the 1st major shock result of the tournament delivered by slovakia who snatched an early goal against belgium and defended furiously to hold on for one bill victory. and the 2nd group game romania played their 1st european championship game and 24 years and beat ukraine 3. now, the training team apologized to their fans after the for the final whistle saying they didn't show their best. but despite the result for some ukrainian supporters being able to watch some football was a welcome respite from the war. from the battle field to the football field.
