deliberately trying to destroy everyone who is there and maria pull. there are only 2 ways influenced this believe. either our partners will give ukraine all the necessary heavy weapons plains and without exaggeration immediately so that we can reduce the pressure of the occupiers on mary apple and unblock it, or negotiating path in which the role of partners should also be decisive. russia has fallen through all threats to launch more long range attacks following the sinking of its black sea flagship. the moscow ukraine says that over the past 24 hours, moscow has targeted 8 regions, shall strafford reports now from keith the aftermath of yet another russian missile strike in court. give this mainly russian speaking city, ukraine's 2nd largest. the stop at some of the worst shilling since rushes invasion opened 7 weeks ago. and much of the service is say at least one person was killed and many more injured in this attack. the cause,

the fire to spread into residential areas, but it wasn't enough. around 11 o'clock to day, the emergency services received a message that an enemy missile had had a 5 story administrative building. a rescue team and tank tracks was dispatched to the scene in the town of trotsky, annette and the sumi region north west of chronic give families gathered to mourn some of the latest victims. the un says that more than 1900 civilians have been killed, including at least a $162.00 children. since the war started, russian forces laid a mines in the cemetery before withdrawing from the area a couple of weeks ago. a father cries over his dead son's grave civilians and soldiers buried here. you could have put on looking at the rest. we held a funeral for my son when they liberated trust units. we were afraid thinking maybe some of the russian fascists are still here and they'll blow up the grave. we put

in, david said me, he's a senior associates at the center for strategic and international studies, which is a think tank based in washington, d. c. and joseph and false church in virginia. good. have you at this on the program again, mr. said nick, we just begin with how important this law chaise, considering regional neighbors really are jumping up and down with concern over young young's move. but for us, thank you very much for having me. and this is something to be concerned about. it comes in the context of north korea carrying out more missile launches over the past 3 months than it has said any period of time. and the last 5 or 6 years, including its largest ballistic missile launch a couple weeks ago, and up indications that it's reading up is nuclear weapons production facility. at the same time. there are a variety of reasons behind was in west range are doing the election and south. can we have a new harder line president? the beginning of u. s. south korean military maneuvers on monday. a. but in many ways,

i think the north koreans are flexing their muscles because they want to be paid attention to. um, but the word ukraine have exact the international attention north korea's used to being as seen as a big player, someone who a country to everyone have to pay attention to and to try to do things to propagate . and that it's what sort of thought off the map in the last few months. so i think there's a combination of factors here. but these new capabilities that they're, they're not breathtaking. they know it's an evolution of an existing missile. they can 23. but these evolution lucas capacities do show a greater level of threat, particularly to south korea and japan. so in terms of the accuracy, all the viability of these missiles, i mean, how practical law, how effective all they? yes, he launches them all. yes, the country launches them, the, are they effective?

and this is why i was saying the regional neighbors have been watching these missiles been laws for several years. now. this is, as you say, not a new phenomenon. but how effective are they? well, that's an interesting question because these particular missiles, because their range was so short, apparently did not show up on the normal tracking mechanisms of the south koreans japanese united states. so the details about what the range will be, the accuracy will be still very, very unclear. the north koreans are making claims that these will be comported new capability on their part. but whether it's the case or not, we, we really don't know right now. well, as you just said, the situation in ukraine, the conflict with russia has taken, you might say attention away from other conflicts in areas of the world, including the korean peninsula. so what do you make of the statement from kim jogan

that he wants to be ready for a confrontation with the u. s. a. has the u. s. besides maneuvers with south korea made any you might say offensive moves to make pill young, nervous. i know from the perspective united states, of course, they made no sense of moves, but united states did the last several days, send an aircraft carrier into the water sub between japan and korea and many ways that was done apparently on the u. s. part to try and monitor and perhaps deter a new mix or test new nuclear weapons test on the part of north korea. because friday, the day before yesterday was the commemoration of the 110 1st have kept bertha kimmy song, the founder, the north korean dynasty. so i don't think that there's any overt effort by the united states to try and stir up things. but just proceeding as planned in this context will be seen by the north korean as north koreans or something they need to

get that they need to make a statement about. and i don't think we can underplay the importance of the korean elections with a new korean president has made clear that he once a close relationship united states, once more exercises the nice states. and they'll even talk in north and south to south korea, developing its own we sit weapons, mississippi very briefly, are the united states at this moment time with focus on ukraine and russia in any mood to start a dialogue with north korea at the level the pill young ones i think it would have would have to be some kind of major change in the north korean perspective on talks. president trump stuff failure in his negotiations directly with kim jong and were seen as overreach by many united states, particularly those in the democratic party. so i think any high level meeting would have be proceeded by a series of low level meetings which haven't happened yet. that would really set the stage for something that would be successful or present by and just really

can't afford to have the kind of failure the president trump to, which is what happened. suddenly, in the coming weeks months david said neither in full stretch. virginia, thanks for joining us. thank you. while thousands of gathered around buck hassan and its capital to support the ousted prime minister run con, he's on the national campaign to reaffirm his public popularity after he was forced to step down last week when he was removed from office. after losing, you know, confidence vote and replaced by opposition politicians shout sharif from all hider was at one of the demonstrations in the capital islam about hey, matt, save rally in the garden for 30 of karachi, where the outdoor prime minister, a miranda on both do tens of thousands of people from all walks of life, family, the adelaide children, and as you can see behind me, even to head in their clam abad. like all other major cities screens have been said

making the sort of journey that millions of other refugees made in the last decade . when the people getting of trains in the big cities were mostly syrian. although the then german government said it could cope with their arrival, there were many problems. once they arrived, the 1st thing was, or that they had to stay in the massacre with asian follow researching in the reception center. and that could last month, sometimes years before they found on the, on the bell and housing. so that was a huge challenge. and the 2nd is when they come with a family kits they have to go to school. so are integrating them into school learning the language and learning though and drama way off of the school system. although the situation for refugees here is better now, that experience has etched itself onto the collective memory and forced politicians to change policy, enjoy a bonus legality, and at least the new government has offered support on a large scale to the federal states. this has allowed us to give refugees better

opportunities for integration. this is a clear message. we're doing it better. we're doing it differently. and we've learned from the mistakes of the pastor. there is another important difference between them and now ukrainians have the right to visa free travel across much of the e. u. syrians do not, which helps to explain why most of the ukrainian refugees in europe have not come to germany. whereas most of the syrians did so when ministers say that they are dealing with the problems now better that might in part be because the need for resources is being tested far less than it was back then. dominant came al, jazeera berlin, the biden administration is reversing. a climate change initiative, it'll resume selling leases to allow companies to drill for oil and gas on federal land. it's also increasing the royalties collected from energy companies by 50

percent. the change comes as the u. s. president is under pressure to reduce energy prices. the move goes against his election campaign, pledge not to allow more drilling on government owned land, while robert percival is the director of the environmental program at the university of maryland. he says the biden administration is changing its policy reluctantly. president biden had pledged during the campaign that he would stop drilling on federal lands. it's proven to not be as simple as that though he issued such an order. when he also rejoined the paras climate agreement, that all the nations of the world have joy. but there was a lawsuit brought that said that federal law requires that the federal government periodically offered leases, and the court ruled that the law until it is changed requires that, that be done. what the by the administration announced yesterday was that they're

going to offer a little bit of land, 80 percent less than previously had been scheduled to be offered. and that they were basing this on careful environmental impact assessment to minimize the damage to the environment. now of course, climate change is so urgent that the minister ation would like for us to immediately reduce production of fossil fuels as much as possible. but that's proven to not be legally possible. plans to drill for oil in democratic republic of congo are alarming environmental groups. government leaders have approve the auction of 16 blocks of land for oil exploration. none of them are in the sense to because system of cadets and crowded in the congo river basin is the world's largest. the 2nd largest forest at area after the amazon greenpeace africa is describing congress plan as a historic era that must be scrapped at last year. as culp $26.00 climate conference in glasgow don't countries pledged $500000000.00 to protect cold lees

what people realize that there is, there is a tremendous need for natural resources like they celebrated by the situation. great. and they'll be some backlash. but congress to, to just out on me. i mean, if you look in the scheme of a foreign already well be well into the future and i think people will seek some kind of accommodation, a economic development, but at the same time going to protect that. we saw it, but i think it does. some compromise will be found. let's reading again part of south africa, which is still cleaning up after the was flooding in 60 years. rescues are still searching for survivors for me to mila report, soft dub, and not only has the flooding killed, hundreds of people destroyed homes and businesses. it's also badly damaged
