of the virus found and waste water in the strip and fears it can spread without vaccination. the walk into the program on nicole fairly taiwan is bracing for the arrival of typhon k. me. it's expected to be the strongest storm to hit the island in years. as winds of a 155 kilometers an hour are moving north west towards taiwan. weather forecast suggest authorities have close schools and offices in ground and flights as a precaution. thousands of people have been evacuated from mountain is regions at risk of land slides, gamey is gaining strength on as it approaches taiwan after causing havoc and

killing 12 people in the philippines. tropical storm is then forecast to move towards the southern china on thursday of the let's get more on this from our correspondent james trader, who's in typing james, what's the general feeling there as the storm approaches? well, we already understand that there's been at least one death as a result of this timeframe with more than 50 inches already on it. so i want the strongest type of, you know, we expect to hit sy one in some 80 is the amis here on the streets of the main cities in taiwan has been fairly relaxed today. not really a sense of panic people. i used to this type of natural, there's honest people hunkering down for the night with supplies, but from supermarkets, no real sense of panic. that is concerned, however, for the central mountainous regions and the eastern parts of taiwan. this is awesome. so i wanted to sort of 7 points to magnitude scrape just a few months ago, which triggered pretty drastic land slides. and there's an expectation that was 70 inches potentially of rain. so for this evening on taiwan that back the trigger

supplement aligned slides as for how are authorities preparing for that kind of scenario then? oh, it looks like we lost him there. we will trying to get some more information on this situation in taiwan a little later in the show. let's continue for now though with other topics and in what now appears to be an ongoing operation. north korea has sent more of its trash, caring balloons across the border to south korea. this time, according to south korea and authorities, at least one of the airborne dumpsters has offloaded on south korea's presidential compound, the balloons carrying trash slow to south korea. they're the latest and bad toward these in the north. this is the waste. one of the balloons deposited south

korea says another one came down near the presidential compound and sold. it was said to contain no harm for the materials. in recent days, south korea's army has stepped up, it's loud speaker broadcasters, targeting the north would have put in the military and board costing propaganda on all sides. we can't give you specific details on board where it is being bored cost . we are monitoring the north korean military. the broadcasts featured gave up songs and news on a north korean diplomats to fiction. aiming to demoralize frontline north korean troops route and we think the board costs to have effect such as internal disturbance defection and weakening the discipline to south korean activists and effect as to as long as and propaganda balloons into north korea. since may, north korea has sent housing distrustful balloons further escalating tensions

between the 2 countries. tony, we now is eric ball, but he's an expert on north and south korea from the german institute for international and security affairs. welcome to the ww that north korea we heard that there has sent thousands of these trash balloons over the border to the south already. what are they hoping to achieve? i, this is a return to classical cold war tactics. we see from both north and south korea used at the moment. uh, it is a long standing tradition, so to say on the korean peninsula to use these kinds of new ones has been traditionally been use since the end of the korean war. and especially then during the heights of the cold war era, it's a part of the upside, cannot take a more favor below the military level of direct military level. but still it's sense a strong signal. the same way to solve korea use us

a solid green activist uses of these balloons to transmit. the message says so north korea sickness with these balloons to the, to the south. koreans. this uh, what can someone's powerful assistant describe as a reaction to south koreans come and dirty tactics? yeah, you mentioned that there, this is a tit for tat, right? south korea is responding by setting up loud speakers on the border blaring out and key pop and propaganda messages against the regime in young young. is this just a new sons or and can it pose a real threat to kim young owns regime? oh, well, these loud speak uh how they don't reach that far and you know, they reach into north korea of course. some say they read all the way up to, to catch on. but of course they reach this ultimately limits. so it's a limits at tech, take the north koreans of the south koreans us here as i went on the rates and

limits of the audience in north korea. but we have to see this 6 foot type at the moment in the broader spectrum of north korea's and south korea's into korean relationship towards each other. and this has been rather move to the brain during the last couple of months with these balloons. just being one or loudspeaker, a mess, success just being one of the methods used by both sites in this ongoing tit for tat. and this can escalate of cost. also these are no a key, meso. so to see how big do you reckon is the risk of escalation at this point as well, as you mentioned before, you know this so far, no, truly harmful materials have been found or in the sense that material testing contains or something like this. but, you know, this can change,

and of course there is always a risk if you enter into one of us and space because especially in this, for the area between north and south korea, these, for the reasons a highly militarized. and this is the true danger of an escalation that things can be, of course, set down in this country, got a response then from the other side, so that these low key messages can very rapidly escalate into military mess us. and this is the risk we see. yeah, and you mentioned earlier that this is a return to cold war tactics. is there anything that we can learn from the past to kind of contextualize what is happening now and maybe contribute to the escalation . but ultimately, this tips for a tech game we are in at the moment, can only be broken through a dialogue of but the political framework at the moment is extremely difficult.

somebody's extremely difficult to actually materialize to implement if i allow 10. and i'm investing, if i have no terminals between north and south korea all between other countries and north korea for that matter. since north korea at the moment focuses very much on russia and china and it's forwarding relations. and that's pretty much the complet from the west and the west and allies. and this is the problem we're seeing at the moment that it's extremely difficult to break the site because it's vicious, cycled at the moment, which ultimately can only be broken through diane, oak, and communication. but this is hot at the extreme, the odd to do with that. eric bob boss, from the german associated for international and security affairs. thank you so much for all those insight. thank you so much for having me. and a quick look now and some of the other stories making news around the world today. 18 people have been killed after a plane crash during take off in nepal. the pilots of the plane is the sole

survivor and is currently receiving treatment. domestic flight was traveling from the capitol, come and do when it's reported to have slipped off the runway and caught fire over 200 people have been killed after 2 lamps lives. in a few of the people were attempting to find survivors from the 1st land slide. when the 2nd one struck killing those involved in the rescue operation, president ahmed said he was deeply saddened by the terrible loss of life and has deployed federal resources to assist with the operation. 5 have resumed and cologne bon airport in western germany after climate protesters glued themselves to the runway. the group called last generation said it wants the german government to pursue a global agreements to exit oil, gas and coal. by 2030 authorities in the united states have released

a body cam footage showing the fatal shooting of a black woman. 36 year old sonya massey had called 911 to report, a suspected intruder. one of the police officers told her to check on a pot of boiling water, but then shot her dead. he's been charged with murder us, vice president campbell, a harris has hit the road with her newly minted campaign for president. she held her 1st rally in wisconsin, which is one of the swing states key to beading republican donald trump in november, harris and strip came after president joe biden ended his is re election campaign and endorsed her on sunday. a camelot harris arrived in wisconsin with her party uniting in support of her sudden candidacy for the presidency. so wisconsin, i am told as of this morning that we have earned the support of enough delegates to secure the down arrow. so to donald trump

seeming to relish the clash of personalities with a man, she'll probably face on the election day before i was elected vice president. before i was like the united states senator, i was elected attorney general of the state of california. and i was a court room prosecutor before them. and in those roles, i took on perpetrators of all kinds creditors, who abused women, fraudsters, ripped off consumers. cheaters who broke the rules for their own game. so hear me when i say i know donald trump's try, republican lawmakers took aim at harris, highlighting the economic disruptions from the cove at 19 pandemic and russia's invasion of ukraine, which came during biden's tenure. remember,

both of the persons running for president now have a record. they have both served in an administration here in the last, within the last several years. so you can compare how you and your family were doing on the 1st drop of ministration, and how you and your family for doing now. nobody said there was a trump himself did not mention harris on tuesday. instead discussing last week's attempt on his life in a fox news interview together with his running make j. d events. but harris will shortly be back in the spotlight on wednesday. that's when job i didn't. now back in washington, after ending his coven, self isolation is due to address the nation on his decision to drop out of the race in favor of his vice president. the world health organization says it's extremely worried about a potential polio outbreak and gaza in warren, that traces of the virus had been detected in the territories wastewater. and that

the dire sanitation situation could allow it to spread quickly. polio attacks the central nervous system causing paralysis and death in extreme cases. w i chose as a mass vaccination campaign may be needed. let's bring entire discharge adventures of spokes person with the world health organization in geneva . good to have you on the show, tard. now there are no known polio cases among humans as of yet in the gaza strip, but the virus has been found in the sewage system. does that mean that an outbreak could already be under way as well? we have not seen any, any cases of paralysis as, as, as looks now, as you have said, the samples have been tested positive from the sewage of water. uh, and this can meet either. there is a risk of outbreak among the children. we need to act quickly as you know,

for polio, to be prevented the preventative in cases we need to have communication. unfortunately, the routine immunization and does a street has been disrupted steadily in the last 9 months. and that brings back to the risk of not only voted by other diseases as well. now, w to be working with you to assess, we'd administer your thoughts. another box has to try to do what is needed, but you have to take into account really difficult operational situation right now, you guys have a warehouse system is unable to provide those services where work of humanitarian agencies is very difficult. so there is a risk we will do our best, but really what we need is the is the ceasefire. so we could load all. yeah. but how feasible is an ad hoc vaccination campaign in gaza in the middle of a war where people are constantly on the move, slow health workers and guys are doing so right job. that's right. any

time they have an opportunity to resume somehow services, you know, hospitals that have not been completely destroyed right now. there is a 16 out of $36.00 hospitals and guys that are providing some, some of the services that so it is difficult when we come to me. really, we didn't garza because of the disruption piece restructure because of the fighting because of the delays at a check point. so it is difficult and goes or it goes ahead. what is the best, the immunization a percentages? the fluid is what's 95 percent. now this presented went down in 2023 to 18 on right. now again, this is probably much lower, so we need to have these conditions a personal digital condition. so we can you mean ice sugar? that's way a prevent any, any human cases yet. should those circumstances that scenario not be

created so that health organizations such as your own but also other and g o's, are able to administer of vaccinations. if we saw a serious polio outbreak in gaza, what would that mean for the people there specifically for the children who are the most likely to not be immunize at this point as well? we, why do we have a 40 of ours at 6, like some of the sites of children we may have a cases of a borrower says something that we don't see anymore in the world really. but again, just to be reminded that there are so many health threats right now. you guys the people that die with a daily basis. not only because of the bombardments and me what sort of braces, but also because of a lot to a to medicines because it's like a basic health services for pregnancy, people with a chronic diseases. so what should we do?

just ask them already to destroy fix health situation for people. gotcha. at the w h. o has people working and gaza, of course. and how would they be able to deal with a possible polio crisis and the strip but well again, a to, to prevent a cases and the children may need just to have a box the nation. we know how to do it. a guy is a, has the boy a free, uh and uh, and we just hope that the, that we will be able to do uh, what we need. but again, there is no, there's a whole the other vaccine preventables diseases. if children, i'm not to give you guys the they should be doing a routine immunization page. so to get what we need is the space we need the conditions to be met and adjust to people of color. the most important is to to, to have the ceasefire. care so health system is a whole can provide

a whole range of health services including the vaccination, i guess, polio and other disease preventable diseases. high cause are of it's from the world health organization. joining us from geneva, thank you so much for your time, your input. thank this and bangladesh authorities have begun the easing internet restrictions and the curfew impose after student led protests over a state job quote has led to mass unrest. soldiers are still deployed in large numbers on the country streets, including the capital cost. the theme of some of the worst by the government has accepted a court ruling largely scrapping the heated quote, a system as demanded by protesters. but students have threatened to resume demonstrations if the government doesn't quickly ease restrictions because name julio is a bangladesh, the journalist who lives in exile in mama and sweden, welcome back to the w that report. they're suggesting that the situation is coming

down on the telecommunication services are slowly being restored. what are you hearing, what's coming out of the country? what you have in the area to the ground, tell us what the wave is that you know about. so thank you. first of all, we understand that there is a new, around, or restriction being feature on the internet connectivity. and there off the internet. we provide connections to all the offices and bands. oh, it looks like we lost his name there. keep joined us from mama in sweden to talk about the situation in bangladesh. i'm sorry for that. we seem to be having some technical problems here. let's continue on to ukraine then, where a team of dedicated volunteers are helping rescue people with limited mobility such as an elderly or people with disabilities from showing demetrius and his team have

so far managed to evacuate more than 3000 vulnerable people from highly dangerous situations. for hundreds of hours and tens of thousands of kilometers behind the wheel. when it says to send the on average, and we've been driving around 6 or 7000 kilometers a month. this seemed business go online to demetrius has been evacuating people with limited mobility and disabilities from the conflict areas since the beginning of the russian invasion. today he and his team are rescuing 84 year old lead me luck with the restaurant from the northeastern city of villa peoria farmable. thank god, the evacuation went smoothly. what's here below paleo is only 7 kilometers away from the border with russia. the cities under constant showing by the russian army nothing. last week when we were bombed, right in the center of the city. i live in the center of the la p a on the main street. the bottom hit the house across the street. it was very, very scary to the,

the demitra who has found a place for ludmilla in a nursing home near tiers wire showing dog. sometimes we gets attached to people that we have to let them go, the retreat these people not to strangers. but if they want a relative south place sweating as a family and then it'll becomes much hotter. after the 1st event corporation, we have to see a psychologist because it is a very emotional process. we boost gets a 380 demitria is barrier free foundation has about a 100 volunteers in different regions of ukraine. the volunteers work together with the relatives during the evacuation process. you already had no idea how to transport his bedridden mother from below peoria to

a safe place. demetrius team helped him in the car last couple of the state provided a wheelchair and they transported my mother in the train. also. they did everything well and i found a place for us 1st we came to trust in that sort of sense to sort it was dangerous there to help, but at least they didn't shoot at us. but more for the living conditions were bad. we had to constantly take care of our mother. later, we were able to find a better place then demetrius team managed to evacuate the entire so han family as well as 9 gaps and even some plans. they found a place to live in the key of region and they've been for flooding. the biggest challenge is to find a shelter for someone with a disability for you to find a shelter that will include all the needs of this person. so if, for example, someone is completely bed ridge and then they need to be given cooked food at

hygiene services and a lot of opponents to of our child. as the war continues, demitra and his team received evacuation request every day. they say they haven't given up on their commitment to respond to all calls with just days to go until the olympic games. the opening ceremony, a steady stream of app leads from around the world have begun. arriving in paris allegations from every continent are arriving at the olympic village and the french capital. for many athletes. competing in the games is a dream come true, an experience of a lifetime, but amid all the excitement of violence is a major concern to protect athletes and to ensure public safety. in french authorities have launched a massive security operation involving thousands of soldiers, police, and even help from neighboring countries, such as terms after years of preparations,

frances undertaking unprecedented security measures to keep this summer olympic games things early. then, you know, we have bomb disposal squads, a military dark unit and a specialized counter drawing system including radars and intrusion detection systems. good. all of this is in place around the send river. so let's say the teams of police and anti terror technical swans have been rehearsing for worst case scenarios. and with good reason, the risks are enormously complex. france has suffered several deadly terrorist attacks in the past and international tensions are running high and the wars and gaza and ukraine. adding to the complexity, the bulk of olympic events is taking place in the heart of paris. one of europe's most densely populated capitals along with thousands of police and soldiers on the ground. the french air force is also playing

a major part by securing the skies during the games. finder jets surveillance, drones helicopters that can carry sharp shooters and equipment to disable drones will all be deployed. we have to protect against some sort of crowd that could be used like to weapons, but also to reach to have tried to reach us. so could be use liked with events and come tell you are these receive up to date, but they are a free media on. so you a visa in france and we move up to it and be a real, a real or frightful search engine. for fridays opening ceremony, a no fly zone, extending some 150 kilometers will be in place around the french capital. and cameras, twins with artificial intelligence software will flag potential security risk, such as abandon packages of the and with that here,

all of today's stay with us. so after the break made in germany, looks at the olympic effect on paris. looks at air taxis and asked if wealth should be limited. that's after a short break. you'll find more updates on our website. that's d w dot com. thank you so much for your company. bye. the

very market is moving, but so far they haven't quite taken off their taxi. their hail is gains dangerous for urban transportation and many issues like crash tests, pilot training standpoint, groups remain fun results. when will the mobility of the future finally take to the sky? state in town next, on dw, january 2021. the attack on the united states capital,

thousands of people took pods and among them some of these manipulative voices are a former high ranking military leaders. why did us veterans attend the backs on democracy? and what does this mean for the upcoming an x the enemy within in 45 minutes on d w, the, this video change to it says us. so to is killing civilians in the rock of to posting it's julie and his sons became a wanted man. 14 years later the we can expound it is fine and these $310.00 is done during the traces, the stories of a soldier under survivor of the attack. they speak to each other for the 1st time.
