supply and keep with long range weapons to the stumbling blocks that each should go watch. when there was a meeting in eastern bull, there was one geography and our willingness to accept. the ukrainian proposal was based on that geography for the geography at the end of march 2022. now the geography is different. this is not only the eleanor and the d n r. this is also the curse and region and the sample regia region and a number of other territories. this process continues and continues consistently and persistently. they were says high mobility at the re, rocket systems or high mars have been effectively used by ukraine and washington and its allies. busy agree to commit to more rocket systems, ammunition, another military, 80 crane. at a meeting on wednesday, u. s. defense extra lloyd austin's had confirmation of russia's expansion plans comes as no surprise. i'm sure that her ukrainian leadership will be

her pleased to hear or love ross, confirmation of the effectiveness of not only that system, but how they're using that system harm. as you know, russians are currently in her cures on and are from asia. so the russian forces the earlier now, so you have to wonder who he's talking to ukrainian forces of damaged and important bridge in the southern kirsten region that russia has been using to deliver supplies which troops. it's the 2nd strike on the disney pro river bridge in 2 days, the temporary administration and the russia controlled region says cave used high mas, multiple rocket launchers. the bridge is one of only 2 that russia can use to supply all withdrawal forces in the area. and as we mentioned, the united states is promising more sophisticated weapons for ukraine. this on the day that ukraine's 1st lady became the 1st spouse of a foreign leader to address the u. s. congress alena zalinski appealed to the u. s

. to ride ukraine with air defense systems, particle haine has the story. ah, she brought the faces of war and loss to the powerful in washington. liza beloved, so what should they do? dr. lisa was only 4 years old. she is no longer with us. here is the stroller dorm, ukraine's 1st lady. only nissan sca had a simple message. the u. s. can help more ukrainian survive by sending more air defense systems. yes, it has protruded shaquea of nicole in the curricula received them weapons that would not be used to wage a war on somebody else's land, but to protect one's home in their right to wake up alive in that home. i'm asking for air defense systems in order for our kids not to be killed and not to kill children in their strollers. in order for august not to destroy children's roles and kill entire families. the u. s. has promised to supply ukraine medium range air

defense systems, but so far has only promised to of the national advanced surface to air missile systems. that's not nearly enough to cover a country the size of ukraine. at the pentagon, promises sent for more high mars rocket launcher systems that ukraine has used to target russian ammunition depots and command control centers. deep behind the front lines that brings the total from the us to 16 and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff play down rushes game so far. so for 90 days the russian advances have amounted to maybe 6 to 10 miles. something in that range is not very much, it's very intense, lot of violence. tens of thousands of artillery rounds or every 24 hour period for a lots of casualties on both sides. the biden administration is expected to announce the weapons. it'll be send into ukraine on friday. the, let's get a chance to speak with president joe biden. this week. she'll soon find out if her personal plea was enough to get her country to weapons. she says they desperately

does not have any more water and the fire keeps reignite. it was ready to go on the whole house burned, everything was lost, book the piano clo this. i can photo fire everything that a person would have. i am 53. so imagine at the moment we are new with what you see here. in the nearby town of more than 3500 people were evacuated. aspire spread quickly. cost us has a house in the hills here. he left on tuesday. now he doesn't know if he will have a home to return to a little bit strange because we have the hope our phone will provide. but we should be saying that because we can do anything official. few say that since the start of the fire season on may 1st, there have been already near the 2500 wildfires. the main obstacle for

firefighters, not the high temperatures, but the strong winds which keep changing direction, starting new fires more than 90000 people have been evacuated so far from areas near the capitol. and the hardest part of the summer is still to come. this small, quiet town of and through south home to a few 1000 people, has already witnessed the wrath of the fires this year. while these homes have been spared across the valley, the damage is clear. the athens fire chief says his crews priorities to safeguard human life. something they've managed to do so far. greece is asking other european nations for help to get through the fire season, which officially last until the end of october. dorothy jabari al jazeera and through sat greece in france. more than 20000 hex has of land have burned, present. emanuel micron visited the huron region, meeting with firefighters and thanking them for their work. they've been frustrated by scorching temperatures, strong dry winds,

a climate emergency or executive action. only a repetition of the threat that he'll take action if congress doesn't. this is an emergency, an emergency, and i will, i will look at it that way. i said last week, i said again loud and clear as president, i'll use my executive power to combat climate, the climate crisis in the absence or congressional action. the problem in congress essentially lies in the senate, in particular, one of the president's own party, jo mansion who's pulled out of negotiations over climate legislation. given the senate's 5050 split, this means unless some republicans break party ranks. any legislation will simply not pass because of, you know, one senator in particular, joe mentioned who gets more money from the oil and gas industry than virtually any other sen. by didn't. he is blocking biden's legislation in the senate so that by and cannot enact his climate agenda there. the site of the president's speech was

carefully chosen. the brighton point paula station was labeled one of the full fi, 5 industrial polluters in the past. but the coal fired plant was decommission to 5 years ago, and it's now set to become part of a massive, offshore wind depaula project that could generate a significant amount of green energy. and the president listed what he views as his administration successors, including the most recent. today, we began the process to develop wind power in the gulf of mexico as well from the 1st time, a real opportunity to power millions of additional homes from when. but this will not be enough for the president's critics to continue to call for stronger executive action. president biden has the power to declare a climate emergency which could assist his administration in limiting the activities of fossil fuel industries on federal lands. but this in turn could lead

to the administration being involved in long drawn out battles in the courts. and the president has confirmed his administration's message, that executive action remains on the table. but while the delay in execution continues, there's a real danger that this could become another perceived biden failure that voters would note at the midterm poles. my canner al jazeera washington still had allowed his era, ah, anger and sir long over polymers decision to choose. ronelle victrum a thing as present. he proceeds to crack down on troublemakers on the 2022 fever. woke up kicks off and cattle in exactly 4 months jenny ins hope they'll make it out the group stages this time. ah,

the journey has begun. the 34 world camp is on its way to cattle. hook your travel package today. right, seasonal rain but may be enhanced. seasonal rain is on its way through. central china, south korea and japan. you might not expect that. it's time here and you've got it, but it comes in lumps and it breaks. for example, look at this part northern china dry again through thursday and you pick up the next wave on its way in through jan and then probably will move in use was towards the yellow sea and catching beijing during friday. blend east that break just a few shells, bitter re, maybe in those and part of honshu and south the yangtze. in china, it's dry a little bit to dry icing where one spell of flooding whether that was almost 8. but there is heavy rain a bit further west and it's, there is still it, me and mark is catching a part of thailand, laos, and cambodia. and it stretches down almost to malaysia, but then you've got davy,

but lighter showers. now they will be a bit heavier in borneo and some parts of the philippines as well. but the concentration is probably beyond that. so the monsoon re now is like to be probably just scar northwards and up. certain paul towards northern pakistan. it's lighter rained on the western side of india and we could see an, an increased number of big showers in the northeast of indian bangladesh where there is still flooding on the ground. official allies of the journey life and robust debates. a lot of folks when they hear the word refugees think stranger, they think other la latrice stuck in these camps. it's regardless of your range the way you're coming from. and he said, give everybody safety from global issues to those that need to be high, human rights and land defenders and brazil. they live in a circumstance of permanent violence and intimidation. the st. claire,

a global audience, becomes a global community on al jazeera. we're ah, the watching out is there a remind of our top story is this our russian foreign minister says bosco's military goals in ukraine of wide and beyond the east and don mass region. so gala roth told state media, the russian forces also focus and sudden ukraine's current as up. what is your regions? dozens of wall fires, a burning cross, france, spain, italy, in greece. thousands of people have been forced to flee that homes as a severe heat. waves sweeps across europe and u. s. present, joe biden is threatening to take executive action if congress doesn't pause

legislation to tackle climate change. his doubts, $2300000000.00 in funding. the building infrastructure that can hold up against extreme whether a national dissolves. now, rocks prime minister is blaming turkey for artillery strikes that killed 8 people, including children in iraq's kurdish region promised that most while academy warned a turkey the baghdad reserves. the right to retaliate on cra, has rejected the allegations. the attack happened in the mountain town of zacko and to hook province. turkey regular carries out a strong in norman rock, targeting separatists from the car to start work his party. turkey is blaming what it calls terrorist organizations related to attack. now fossil esther body has served as, as an ambassador for iraq and was deputy permanent representative iraq to the united nations. he's currently director at the center for the study of middle east at indiana university. he joins is from bloomington, indiana. this has caused

a lot of shock in iraq itself. these were tourists, iraq. he taurus in a mountain resort, a key iraqi figures in iraqi political landscape, including looked at it all sudden have called to cut off all diplomatic ties. and in fact, want to escalate this further. where does this leave iraq turkey relations are clearly are. there is now a heightened tension between iraq, her and turkey, and there has been a, the swell fall sort of popular rejection of the truck attractions there in iraq and the kurdistan region of iraq. ah, but as a practical matter, iraq's options are limited. the are iraqi prime minister can threaten retaliation. i cannot rationally mean military retaliation. turkey is a nato ally was the largest standing army outside the united states in the alliance

. ah, the r diplomatic options that iraq have at once those are exhausted our battle be, i think the end of it, or because there are other issues that are including water rights ah, that iraq must negotiate with turkey. ah, so iraq's options are extremely limited in my view, unfortunately. but that doesn't mean that turkey must have pause for thought right now. now it's going on the offensive saying it wasn't us a was the courtesy doesn't work as party, or we call them a terrorist organization. and it's very full, sir. it's, it's them. so they're not going. they're not backing down totally. the not but their statements are i think, to be taken with a grain of salt. i am unaware of prior a fact on iraqi civilians by the p. k. k. i'm i realized the p k. k that

turkish civilian turkey in the past decades. but i am unaware of the p k k having done so in iraq, it seems clear that the turks are responsible for this, that they will need through our diplomacy or they will at some point. i think if it is established that they are responsible as the peers, they are now, they will actually, oh, the iraqi, the iraqis, and their families, reparation for what they have done that justification, thunder national law and my view and follow i backed out the, the options before iraq, again, our diplomatic, now you say that that's a diplomatic reaction between the 2 countries, but internally within iraq, there's going to be a lot of pressure, almost alcorda me to try and do something. his political opponents are going to use that against him. very much so, but again, his options realistically are constrained that the single most important issue

between iraq and turkey right now. especially this being july, our water is water or turkey control the head waters are that are for across an international of the international rivers. ferguson, you 40 the poor into iraq, the headwaters are in turkey control, and it has been no quite parsimonious in the volume of water that allows the rock. it can strangle the rock mistake and the, and, and cause the iraqi population. not that to die almost literally of thirst. so iraq's options are quite limited and this couldn't come for at a worse time, for, as you've pointed out, our foremost of a car, the, me, the prime minister of iraq, politically, ah, but nonetheless, his job now is to have a restrained response. that is a meaningful response, but that does not in fact cater to the most extreme voice is calling for diplomatic

boycott, because that would be cut off the rocks knows despite the faith. i just one more quick question nicely was we're on the subject almost academy. he said he needs to actually show restraint, but there are people calling for escalation. he's not that political strong a. he was a coalition candidate. he was the basically the candidate everybody could agree on . so he's not that strong. kenny survived this and it's difficult to a he has a very difficult road. i think he can survive because i'm the bullet class will not have any real alternative. but in terms of a reaction to this incident, of course, there are a bit of candidates for prime minister, but he can survive. i think if he is able to, i get a resolution that deescalate, i think that perhaps to the good office of either of the united nations or the united states or the united kingdom or some other intermediary. and we can

deescalate the situation. i think you're going to need to take a responsibility for what it did i am and faced the possibility that if it doesn't and if this is the incident that causes causing me to fall than the prime minister in baghdad may be far, far less friendly to turkey than most of our cover me m b. i was here thought, alas, if i saw a extra body there from bloomington, indian, my pleasure. thank ron. a wick rama singer will be sworn in as sir long as president in the coming hours. he was chosen by majority of m. p.
