propagate. and that it's what sort of fall off the map in the last few months. so i think there's a combination of factors here, but this new capabilities that they're, they're not breathtaking really know it's an evolution of an existing this all the k and 23. but these evolution luca capacities do show a greater level of threat, particularly to south korea and japan. the biden administration is reversing a climate change initiative. it will 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 and move goes against his election campaign place not to allow more drilling on government owned land. robert percival is the director of the environmental law program at the university of maryland. he says, the baton 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 joined. 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 administration would like for us to

surrender. your grades president has warranty would end peace talks with moscow if the troops are killed. russia is being accused of once again targeting residential areas and it strikes against ukraine. one person was killed in 18, others injured when rockets hit the eastern city of khaki. and in avenues north korea says it's successfully testified. a new type of tactical guided weapon either came john own says he's preparing for a confrontation with the united states. 3 weeks ago the country testified his biggest intercontinental ballistic miss heil the more than 4000000 ukrainians have become refugee since the conflicts began. some 300000 of them have gone to germany for germans arrivals as a reminder of the syrian refugee crisis a time when berlin was criticized for not doing enough, but as dominic cane reports, people hope lessons have been learned. tuesday morning and stieglitz and follow reesa and her children. it's time for breakfast as ukrainian refugees. they're

currently living with a host family. the transition from walls own to berlin suburb was initially hard, but already her children are learning german and larissa says she feels this country has been very welcoming and knowing it's completed for dylan palmer, the government has been very supportive. they've given us money health insurance. they've helped us a lot. we don't feel like refugees. we have the same rights as germans. it's help to make us feel like we have a 2nd home here in the nearly 2 months since the war began. many millions of people have fled ukraine. fewer than one in 10 of them has come to germany, making the sort of journey that millions of other refugees made in the last decade . when the people getting off 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 master commendation 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 for family kits, they have to go to school. so are integrating them into school learning the language and learning though and drama. they offer the school system. although the situation for refugees here is better now, that experience is etched itself on to the collective memory and forced politicians to change policy in the way 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 a better, we're doing it differently. and we've learned from the mistakes of the pastor. there is another important difference between then 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 parts be but is the need for resources is being tested far less than it was back then. dominant came al jazeera, berlin, thousands have gathered across pakistan and killing in his capitalism, bought to support our prime minister in non con. he's on a national campaign to reaffirm his public popularity after he was forced to step down last week. khan was removed from office after losing a no confident tilt, and replaced by opposition. politician chabad shall each command haida. was that the demonstration in islam bought a massive rally and the garden board 30 of karachi, where the outer prime minister amber on con,

to think was no money. so everyone, every field focused on the believes that there was a spin spider seen. it was a control friends in the internal affairs, a positive note about the opposition, maybe to rejoicing they're. they're now back in august on the government. however, that's clear thing, those, all that the wave of what your latter did against them, how long there's government for a lot is only or day. taliban authorities have summoned pakistan's ambassador in protest against alleged military strikes inside afghanistan. local media, see the pakistani air force kill at least 30 people in the house, province. women and children are reported to be among the dead. pakistan has denied it, carried out the strikes which followed recent fighting with pakistani taliban. i'm address, she is a journalist in la whore pakistan. he says the last strikes will increase tensions in the reaching attentions. i'm being

honest and even though they are gone to when they roger government own living in facts down in that support of blackstone, so we have a very chronic situation. now i'm, i'm focused on by taking, if it's true that they have a box on the telephone positions inside of gun on, that is certainly going to jack up the, the tension along the border. and so we out to see now this is going to be cool down and where the black sand will take some conciliate steps to all the government, but also to persuade them to come down much more harshly on the back is tonya, i live on living in the ground several people have been injured in india during a religious festival. violence broke out between muslim and hinder groups in the

a super sweet can. russell is acoya, part of an indigenous community that's lived in this arid region for centuries of water to me, cheese from there go to milk, and for fruits and vegetables flows from the and these mountains, the same water that nourishes the nearby mighty conger salt flats. the hills behind me are rich and silver gold, and especially copper chillies, number one, export. but it's what's underneath these salt flat lithium, that's become one of the world's most valuable minerals and is what chile is counting on for its future development. surely has one of the world's 3 largest reserves of lithium and is 2nd only to australia in terms of total production. but late last year, when the previous government granted to new mining concessions to a chinese and a local consortium,

contained 8 percent lithium until you would have to import the remaining 92 percent of materials. it's simply not profitable. also, it takes 10 years for a lithium on to start giving returns on investment. while it sets up a state lithium company, the new government must determine how many more if any concessions will be awarded to multi nationals. in the meantime, it promises to the interests of local indigenous communities. first, a tough choice in times of economic hardship. you see an human mighty home that chile ah her again, i'm fully back to go with the headlines on al jazeera, russia is urging the remaining ukrainian soldiers in a be see city of mary of all to lay down their arms. so their lives can be sped. they have until 10 g m t on sunday to surrender it grains president has want he would.
