ah, about this issue when i arrived here, i slept with 6 people in a room and it was harsh. fear. i even got white hairs and learning the german language helped me a lot. this kid to me and great they'll, but trinity to interact with the say you want to know their story, migrants verifying and reliable information for migrants. ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin. the 1st image is began to emerge of tomba,

after saturday's massive volcanic eruption. they show serious damage, but the full extent is still on no chips carrying supplies are still 3 days away. also coming up dw can exclusively reveal how beijing may be planning to use an official app to track and monitor athletes and other visitors at the upcoming olympic game. and german foreign minister. and i lena bear back holds talks in moscow to try to diffuse tensions over ukraine as fears grow of a russian invasion. ah, i'm soon so much gone to it's good to have you with us. the united nation says the pacific island nation of tango suffered significant damage and saturdays volcanic corruption. the 1st images are starting to emerge after new zeal and australia sent

surveillance plains to the area. communication has been limited after the country's only internet cable was cut. new zealand is also sending ships carrying water and other supplies. but planes can't land because of a blanket of ash covering the main airports runway. they look like old sepia photographs, but it's because of a blanket of ash which now covers everything in sight. on some of tongue is 169 islands in the south pacific. these images were captured by a new zealand defense force reconnaissance flight. it's as close as outsiders concurrently get after a massive volcanic eruption and soon army hit tonga at the weekend. satellite pictures show the capital nuku

a loafer before the eruption and after the ashes, proving quite problematic. not just for our water and sanitation because tony collected water from the roofs of household. but in terms of access for the aid from australia, new zealand, um, and other flight. so they need to clear the runway supplies are already on their way. you see linds h m, n, z at as wellington is one of 2. royal navy ships heading towards tomba, with water supplies survey team's and to helicopter australia is also sending help, including humanitarian aid with regular communication line. still down tonga is almost cut off from the world. no one can be

sure what thou find when they get there. we can speak now to shane chronan, a vulcan ologist from the university of auckland. hi shane. what more do we know about the situation in tonga? right now, after these surveillance flights by new zealand and australia and plains. yes. are we seeing now a picture image of quite some damage? certainly there's 2 nami, have created quite a damage and they've been around 2 centimeters of s fall over the main inhabited island of topper and a similar amount of ash in the north on the positive side of the coins or that damage is not as much as we would've expected for such a logic explosion, and i think it's been quite lucky for the people of tongue that a lot of the ash has actually fallen into the ocean and, and places where there aren't islands. now not to undermine the seriousness. somebody because there are some places in august i'm low lying. vices impact has

been quite major. so when we spoke to you 24 hours ago, shane you were somewhat optimistic. the damage in tonga was not as bad as some had feared. what is your assessment now? yeah, in terms of the volcanic definitely is about now what, wait, what i was expecting been relatively, you know, that is important. of course, they need to clean the the runway and will, will cause some, some problem with the water supply. but that is not, that is not life threatening and of itself. the unami damage was more dramatic in some places and we were hoping but again, so 5, is there any being to confirmed fatalities? and that's, that's a tragedy in both cases, but will be it for, you know, there are still some of a country where communications have not yet come in, but so far so good. and what about those crucial communication lines?

when my baby re established probably quite some time because the cable on the bottom of the ocean has been picked it. we're not quite sure why because the cable wants the volcano, but it actually passes a long way around that. sorry. something has happened on the bottom of the ocean to disrupt that cable. and we're not, we're going to need to wait until the repair ship is able to come in and, and take some images. they did not exactly what went on. yeah. and those ships carrying aid. shane, when are they due to arrive? yeah, i actually live from a have a just have it on the other side of my house and they live today. so it will. ready normally take 2 to 3 days to sign up to to toner, so it's about it's roughly 2000 kilometers from here. we'll leave it there.

shane cronin, vulcan ologist from the university of auckland. thanks so much for that update. thank you. yep. nice to speak to you again. or we have a d w exclusive for you. now, thousands of athletes. officials and reporters traveling to china for the upcoming winter olympics risk having their online communications hacked through the official app for the event. that's what internet security researchers from the organization, citizen lab and canada, or warning after an investigation into the might 2022 ap and d. w has exclusive access to that report. and chinese authorities have asked everyone taking part in deal a bit to install the app at least 2 weeks before traveling today. shing, it is aimed at the tracking and tracing for corona virus, but it isn't all round out for the participants, so they will need it to register health data to check in at competition venues. they can also use it to check whether reports and to chat to others who are also

taking part in the game and deed abuse. internet security expert oliver lino has been looking through the investigation. he has more in this exclusive story forth. oliver tell us more about what citizen lab has discovered here. yeah, the, the peasant security vulnerability in the encrypted communication. so in detail, it's about the proper verification of it says l certificates. and because of this weakness or heck hust can still more or less easily private data, for example, the passport data audio messages from the the chat function that is included in the app. and, but also the huge data such as the vaccination status of a can be leaked. and i understand they're also concerns about chinese authorities having access to the information that could be hacked here. so what exactly would authorities be looking for?

yeah, maybe they, they look for for private communication, for example, they interested in and, but they have also included censorship list in this app. so there's a file that is called illegal words. and this has find all the citizen lip, but there has not been able to find any evidence that they just as actively used in the app. but there are more than 2000 votes in chinese and simplified and traditional correct us, and also in t bitten and we go. and for example, you can find the word the term. will you for who do you koran? and i think the unfair question is, what such a list has to do with an ad for the olympic games? okay, so we're talking about a vulnerability in the app and this list of terms that could possibly be censored.

i mean oliver is the surprising. we do know that china has hosted to previous olympics like in 2008. yeah, of course that china is the state of surveillance. this is known. it's a country of digital center censorship or even the b, b, c and we w is blocked in the country on internet and why are satellite but this is in china and so the room big games are in the bible. so it's a special air. we are for, for the, let's and for, for all the participants. and i think they don't expect such a surveillance there. and what this head isn't up has find out is much more the so they find the vulnerable vulnerability that can be used from heck us from, from 3rd parties. and additionally, december ship list are, i got the impression that, that many of the participants are not very prepared for this event in terms of digital safety and the citizen depth and research and g o has to, with such

a research, which could probably be the job of national security or thought to authorities or the national under the committees d, w, internet security expert oliver, speaking to us. so thank you so much for that reporting. thank you. and we do have more details on the citizen lab investigation on our website, d, w dot com. we're going to take a look at some other stories making news around the world now. who the rebels in yemen have claimed responsibility for a drone strike and abu dhabi that killed at least 3 people, the united arab emirates about reprisals for the attack which targeted in oil refinery. the who these are at war with a military coalition in yemen that is backed by the prominent mexican photo journalist has been killed outside his home in the northern border city. if you want to like that, he to martinez was known for his work covering, organized crime and violence. plague city that borders the u. s. he is the 2nd

journalist who had been murdered in mexico this year, one of the world deadliest countries for reporters. german foreign minister on alina burbock says she is ready for a serious dialogue with russia as she attempts to de escalate the crisis on the ukrainian border. barbara is in moscow today for talks with her russian counterpart . the foreign minister said, 1st and foremost, she is in the country to gauge whether russian diplomats are willing to engage and work with germany to find solution. but she also said the tensions with ukraine will not be discussed in the absence of ukrainian official. and our correspondent emily, sherwin is in moscow following those talks for us today. hi emily. we heard the foreign minister on linna burbock say that any further aggression from russia would mean it would come at a high cost. what did she mean by that? while we don't know 100 percent,

she didn't specify what the high cost could be. there has been talks now for several weeks about potential e u and us sanctions against russia in case russia were to actually invade ukraine. there has been talk of personal sanctions against officials, including vladimir putin himself and also talks of financial sanctions. but so far as things are a little bit vague when it comes to the threats from the west. and that means that russia, i think, goes into these talks today with the upper hand. they have the military threat against ukraine firmly on the table, even if they've been saying repeatedly that they don't plan to invade the country. and when it comes to sanctions, i think the narrative here in russia is we've been under sanction for years. this is nothing really new. so i think russia, it seems, has been for the last few weeks and including today, pushing to see what they can get from the west. and also showing perhaps how

divided the west is including when it comes to ukraine and, and russia, des, emily, sure, when reporting for us there in moscow carving those talks will be coming back to you through the course of the day. thank you. emily. in sports, byron. munich, striker, robert, love, and dusky has been named 5th as best men's player for the 2nd year in a row. he missed out on the barn door, which was given to leonor mfc in november, but he has now claimed the other major, individual football honor again. p for many football fans with dawned when robert learned dusky was over, look in the voting for the balance doll. after a record 41 goes in abundance, the season are all that live on the sky. but now that by a munich pole, can again say he is the best men footballer in the world. the fee for prize is broadly equal to the palace door in terms of prestige, and after a 2nd straight when the pole thank the bye and staff who flanked him
