meters per hour. that sure update. thanks for joining it. bye for now. ah. what is life like in maximum security prison in this to pot special report. one 0, one east coast behind bought it singapore, chunky prison. on out to 0. frank assessments these heat waves. we're seeing now, are they a product of global warming? we will take more of these events. what is happening is that climate change it making them work in depth? analysis of the days headlines inside story on al jazeera, ah fire to weapons depot in russia, near the ukrainian border, and a number of explosions reported near

a major air base in crimea. ah, hello, i'm sammy's a damn. this is al jazeera alive from dell hall. so coming up the i says it's concerned by israeli raids on several palestinian rights groups and is asked for more information. ages longest river is running dry off to china's most intense heat wave in 60 years ports farm lands and factories at risk. and we need afghan children forced to work in poor conditions to feed their families. ah, we begin with the latest developments on the war in ukraine as fighting continues along, ukraine's eastern and southern front lines. the ra reports of at least 4 explosions near russian air base north of so vast a pole in crimea. there have been a number of explosions and fires that military bases and weapons des,

pose in the russian and next region. in the past few weeks, russia has blamed at least one of those on saboteurs. and inside russia, 2 villages were evacuated near the ukrainian border after a fire at and munitions, dep. it happened in the battle god region in the south. let's talk to maximilian has he's a fellow at the foreign policy research institute joins us now live from london. good to have you with us. let's start with the who done a question. is this a coincidence? good morning and thank you for having me. the short answer is no, i don't think that we should be seen as a new cranium. have reasons for not thinking, claims or responsibility for all these incidents, but they've become increasingly cheeky. i guess you can say about with their comments, particularly about the strikes in crimea. crimea, of course, is the sovereign territory of ukraine legally. and i just by russia 8 years ago,

but the morale of this is very important for the branding inside the finally after years. and despite advances and use the most out, that they are now able to carry out the facts and symbolically very important for them. all right, what sort of minute tree impact is this having on rushes capabilities? not just the symbolic one. great. well, that's where there's still a bit of uncertainty when the russians haven't detailed the extent of the damages. but these incidents have frequently targeted russian have munitions. busy and tried to disrupt the russian supply line. the real aim there is for the craniums to be able to weaken the russian position, could potentially have taken out a number of russian plans. and last. busy strike at the saki air base and in crimea with the intent of making it easier for them to launch a counter offensive north of the new river. re taking the occupied portions of nikolai of region and of the southern region. but why don't you do that?

even after these attacks still remains to be seen, they might rack the forces to push those advantages on the ground. and we've seen at least 3 of these attacks have taken place in crimea, right. crimea obviously, is an important area. empires over the century, several empire of fought over it, take us through it strategic importance. great. well, you know, i think the black sea and. busy particular north, the black is an under appreciated as a security space over the last 30 years since the fall of the soviet union. we've seen, of course, this major complex, but over a dozen other conflicts, many of them relatively minor. busy nice tensions in georgia, the conflicts between hazard bizarre and armenia and a handful of others and control over crimea gives any power the naval. busy control over at least the internal blacks, the turkey controls access to the black sea through the boss person,

but our straits. but for russia that is particularly important. it also has again, the symbolic role and a historic role for russians for its defense during. busy world war 2, but for the ukrainian that of course, getting control premier or at least pushing back in the south is what they need to open their own shipping lines and sort of reassert their sovereignty and not make themselves and non russia with that regard as well. all right, thank you so much for your analysis of that that you are having securing europe's largest nuclear power plant has been one of the issues that dominated talks between ukraine's president turkey's leader and the un secretary general on 1st day in live for is a bo reports yet just for you belong to him that i'm a high level meeting in living to talk about the war and it's him back to round the world. president follow the military lensky, meeting with turkish president left. i live at the one and the un secretary general

antonio terrace, discussing the importance of continuing to expo to queen, ingrain to the will through a humanitarian corridor. also, the situation on the ground that the nuclear power plant is separate each year. still a major concern occupied by russian forces since march and with fighting now increasing fears of a major nuclear incident. military equipment personell, she knew, withdrawn from the lance. further deployment of forces or equipment, the sides must be avoided. the area needs to be but ice and we must vary as it is, every potential damage he's up. what is your is suicide? the presence of griffin, an adult one here in levine. he seen by many as a new opportunity for progress, a key player in getting the site to strike. the landmark dylan grain exports, air de one use his 1st visit to levine to repeat the need for continued diplomacy.

charged. so it shouldn't, in that i personally believe that the war will come to an end at the negotiating table. it all comes down to finding the fastest and easiest way to the negotiation . getting to the president polanski welcomed turkey support, but we stated his position and talks at this point, viewed as me, my hours, he's give her the right it was i sure there is no trust was the russian federation . i believe that in this the plastic window there is russian weaponry. that's why i'm surprised to hear that they'd be ready for some kind of peace. people that kill rape every day should cruise me saves on to our peaceful cities and infrastructure cannot once these. that's why, 1st of all, they must withdraw their troops from our territory and only done as fighting continues to rate in ukraine, southern and eastern region. civilians continue to die in what key says i targeted rotten attacks on residential areas. it's been almost 6 months since the war began,

and thousands of people continue to be evacuated, injured, and killed. and that's why it's crucial to find a way to cease fire to prevent further loss of life. that is, i will see that live the ukraine. the leaders of serbia and cost of a fail to reach a compromise in a dispute sparks by vehicle license plates. but they have agreed to hold for the you mediated talks in the coming days, ethnic serbs in cause of our opposing new rules to swap their serbian issued flights for local ones. it's one of several outstanding issues. the 2 sides have to resolve to move forward with the e. u membership bids. the us state department says israel is agreed to provide more details about why shot down 7 palestinian n g o in the occupied west bank. israeli forces had rated the groups on thursday as part of what the government says. our efforts to combat terrorism is the state

they're helping recruit fighters raising money and engaging in fraud. the palestinian prime minister says some of the organizations targeted have been in existence before the arab israeli war of $1967.00 will continue to fund. we will continue to help this as solutions, as long as they are working within. but as the numbers and the odd, we have license them, the submit to reports annual basis that you and condemned the rate and called on israel to immediately reverse its decision. it's unclear what long term effect the rates will have on the ability of the organizations to operate. employee say the only thing illegal here is the israeli rate. they're cleaning up and they, they'll continue their mission to serve the palestinian people. natasha can a l g 0 was jerusalem. the african caught a bon supreme leader has condemned wednesdays attack on

a crack down on street gangs and al salvador, a government extends emergency measures by another month. the latest in drone technology is on display in sol. we'll see what's behind south. korea's booming arms industry. ah, here's the thing. i think they're worse of the rain is over for the islands of ireland and britain. have one. here's a forecast details for you on fridays still some showers ago, but the blog of that activity has now shifted into scandinavia. it's going to move further east and eventually knock back the temperatures in finland. so how think at 30 degrees? that's a good 10 above where you should be. temperature is also well above average for the balkans. i mean look at this spell grades very low,

3637 degrees. that's going to change soon. i'll explain. see this line of storms around northern portions of italy. there it is on friday. now by saturday it's moving further. it's for these. there we go. temperatures down belgrade, and ferry, hbo. and then we've got bursts of rain for western areas of poland. the heat spin shaft into romania, so bucharest, coming in at $35.00 degrees. ok, me see some showers sneak into assemble on friday with a high of 30, but for the other side of the mediterranean, things are drying off temperatures going up. lives been got a high of 33 degrees south africa. we go in that rain that was around n jemina. now pouring into northern nigeria. that's certainly not good news because we could see some more flooding dare some showers, and winds start to dance into cause, hulu, nor tall. so durban scott, a high of 20 degrees on friday. that's it will say soon, the debating the issues of the day producer always in criminalized around the

boundaries of re please. i'm just number their people with their families and our friends and our community members on an online job voice military don't believe in dialogue. the political crisis must be off with the political climate change progress. is there some people who are in places that they're just going to have to? there's no recognition about what we're ready the things the stream on our just 0. all the news. ah, you're wanting out, is there a time to recap those headlines? 2 villages have been evacuated in russia near the ukranian border after a fire,

and ammunition depot comes off to multiple bloss were reported in russian controlled crimea, at a military airport. ukraine's president as hell talks with the turkish leader and the u. n. 60 general in live wars impact on global food prices and risks to europe's largest nuclear power plant, where the focus of the meeting the u. s. as israel will provide more details about why it shot down 7 palestinian n g o z in the occupied west bank. israel has accused some of the groups of fondling, don't arrayed to palestinian fighters. the organizations deny this part of china or in the grips of a record breaking hate wave that's lasted more than 2 months since the longest the longest. rather since records began, patrick falk reports from john king on the hardest hit regions. it's famed for being one of china's furnace cities with the longest summers and hottest temperatures. but in the last couple of months,

the heat in the southwestern city of cha ching has been oppressive even by its own standards. mercury levels have frequently topped 40 degrees celsius and had an all time record high of 45 degrees earlier this week, paula: yeah, it's what is hell, i'm melting. many tourists come to cha, ching, to marvel at its sites. jarling river might be what's most i catching now. it's a major tributary that meets the yen c further south. and it's dried up so much. people can walk half way across it. again, i'm definitely worried it could effect residence and place that need to use the water. for classes of one, the dry spell could last well into september. authorities have begun discharging water from the 3 gorges dam to replenish the yanks in its offshoots. but normal floes could still be months away. here in the city, people are cooling off wherever possible. this library converted out of an old air

raid shelter has become a poplar hang out. a breeze circulates through the funnel shaped space, making it an ideal hide away. when it's especially hot, more people come, but elsewhere it's hard to escape the effects of this heat wave and the draft that come with it. a short drive south of the city is long gin village with insufficient irrigation crops here a dying. well this here shows pretty clearly why crops are struggling. the water for this field behind us has receded about 20 meters away from the crops. and what's been left behind is just this bone dry layer of mud report say more than 350000 people in ra chunking are suffering because of a shorter journey to supplies. many of them like one man, we spoke to our elderly and can't do much to fix the problem because they use a more irrigation systems. you have to buy pipes and machine. you said you have to

spend the money and it's not worth it because the stuff was already dried and died . like, what's the point of water in if it's already dead? and with many scientists saying hot a days as a result of global warming are here to stay days here for the people of long ging could be numbered. patrick block al jazeera chunking, china searing temperatures and lowest rainfall in decades, around the yangtze river basin and making it hard for millions of people who live there. more than 10 provinces are affected. he 9 and who bay are some of china's biggest food producers. they're struggling to keep harvests from being ruined by hate. david han is a political economist and the founder of milan, china. it joins me live from bay. jane. good. have you with us? so how much of a threat is this? drought, not only to those communities that rely on agriculture, what to the wider economies well is going to have

a considerable event in the short term because it comes on top of a 0 current policy, which for most of the she has meant that a lot of economic activity is slowed down and china has a $5.00 see growth target for g p this year. we think they'll do 3 percent at most. so it's also compounding an issue. this was seen last year in the winter with blackouts in a number of cities, not the major cities but in sydney, 2nd 30 cities because they've been trying to reduce carbon emissions. and as a result, the coal fired power stations, many of them had been shut down, or they had to prove in the cities, they're operating, that the factories were truly productive from using the energy. so this compounded what is occurring the summer is, is a major problem for industry and in the challenging area which you didn't find in your report. and it's a major manufacturing area for lithium batteries for the carrier distributor,

carrier district. so was massive inflation now in poly silicon and lithium. so it's, it's a major issue short term. but china moves quite swiftly. i'm in all the way because so if you leave your roommate or, and get engaged in central decision making when it comes to resolving a problem and acting on something, it often can move much faster than other political context. and so i think that in the situation you're facing, we will seeing as we go into next year, a number of remedies. i'm certainly under the to the cation of energy sources. but right now it's very, very hard for the residents of many provinces in cities where you mentioned the issue of coal empowering china has been trying to transition away from called the hydro power. is this going to be a complicating factor for that transition to i think it was so down differently

the cabin controls the cabin targets in china genuine. and in some ways, part of the problem is that some local officials had been to zealous in trying to apply them. and so he respected coal fired power stations when they still could run them and meet the current requirements of current cash. i think now that they're gonna have to step back that be under mine called in china's west and chinese college. very good. it's what they could do. he called brown. com. and, and on top of that, it's part of the sanctions against australia. they've been blocking a lot of cooking, calling ports. i think some of those has now been released, but so they haven't done or when there was a political issue. and then there was the fact of trying to apply this environmental policy. so i think we're going to see an increase in emissions definitely in the next one to 2 years as they try to just. but china also has

probably the largest percentage of sustainable in the centers of wind and in solar . there's massive investments made there. and some of those are quite successful, so it may also accelerate more investment advisor. so what's the bottom line? should the world be worried about the globe 2nd largest economy given not only this drought, but we've got the fall out from the locked downs. we've got the concern about that . we've got the wires about the construction sector and what's going on there. i mean, how are it should the will be the my means the world should not be too worried. and if there was less pressure on china to contain it, which is the washington strategy. and we saw this recently and policies visit to taiwan. and really what we need to do is go out, collaborate, and china economically as we were 10 years ago was no reason not to the reason that

we're as wished as western is. and this has been a big voice in europe. it told that it's time to start chinese expansion, the china spend for the region, but china, some ways is and is an aggressive nation. when actually it's more about america, look, america's fading power of the region. so that's having an economic impact. that's the 1st thing that i think needs to change. but sure there, once china comes out of your current policy, the consumption and that will return will be profound. last year, china was 70 percent of the world trade equivalent of or greater than america, japan and europe combined and even an ordinary. it is still greater than america, europe and japan combined. so next year, if 0 co policies come off, i think we'll see a shot rising consumption. we'll see more house purchases again. run at the moment

. better is a challenging situation. thanks so much for your thoughts on that. then you the sister of north korea's leader has rejected south korea's offer of economic aid in return for halting it's nuclear weapons program. cameo john called the proposal the height of absurdity. comparing the south korean president to a barking dog. we should shut his mouth. north korea launched to cruise missiles on wednesday. a mandatory hardware exhibition in south korea capital has been showing off the latest in drone technology. the countries arms industry as emerged as the largest exporter in the world, helped in part by the war in ukraine. rob mcbride reports from sol. it's some of the latest military drone technology that's transforming the way war. risk falls from stealthy surveillance high above the battlefield,

to sudden precision attacks down onto it. they're used by both sides in the war in ukraine has increased interest globally. thrown on, we have seen drones been widely used in ukraine, which shows data, se city is increasing. so i think the market is getting bigger and bigger at high tech weapon making. it's supported by south korea as advanced manufacturing. just as it's precision and heavy engineering have helped it become a leading supplier now benefiting from the war in ukraine. south korea, the war provides both opportunity, but also risk is stopped short of supplying weapons directly to ukraine for fear of angering. russia which exert influence over north korea, but the war has also increased demand from east european nations who want to buy ever more nato standard equipment. south korea has used its alliance with us and

friendly ties with nato to position itself as the supplier of choice. signing its biggest ever single arms deal with poland for tanks, self propelled guns and fighter jets to replace equipment that poland sent to you. crane pretty and i thought john, john, good, i'm going through the nato summit. we exported the k to tank the k 9 howard here and f, a 50 check to poland, achieving our biggest ever arms sale. last year, south korea's military exports set a record of more than $7000000000.00. a figure that is already eclipsed by sales this year. thanks in part to fighting thousands of kilometers away in eastern europe. rodnick bride al jazeera sol. i'll salvador government has extended sweeping emergency measures used to crack down on powerful street gangs for another month. there were 1st announced in march, but have been criticized by rights groups. the public seems to have embraced them

though, as john harmon reports and fellow el salvador, been living under a state of emergency for almost 5 months to tackle the country's rampant gang violence. this week it was extended further. 50000 people have so far been the pain. that's just under 2 percent of the countries labor force president night. bu kelly, cause the more terrorists, oh, under the emergency measures, those detainees haven't got the right to a lawyer ought to be informed why they've been arrested. human rights groups say that many a process in mass hearings in which evidence isn't usually presented freeness as her husbands. among them, my husband was working and i didn't find out. he was detained until 10 pm kayla. pra, a congress dominated by the ruling party overwhelmingly voted for the measures to continue with the look.
