hi ah ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin tonight,

a doubling down on the markers diplomacy to prevent a war in ukraine. the german foreign minister on the lena bear box was in moscow to day with russia nelson. he troops to neighboring bell roost. the threat of an invasion of ukraine is higher than ever. also coming up to night. these are the 1st images that would have seen of the devastation in tonga, after saturday's massive volcanic eruption. the government there says it is dealing with an unprecedented disaster and a violent escalation in yemen. civil war, a rebel drawn attack in the united arab emirates, followed by deadly air strikes by the saudi led coalition, in sin off. ah lou, i'm bring gov to our viewers watching on p b. s in the united states into all of you around the world. welcome we began, it is tuesday with that doubling down on diplomacy to prevent

a russian invasion of ukraine. today, germany's new foreign minister, angelina bare bach, was in moscow for talks with her russian counterpart, sergey, leverett. she described a russian troop build up on you crazy border as a threat, not only to ukraine, but also to all of europe. the new government here in berlin is standing by its warning to moscow. any attack on any neighbor will cost russia dearly. this was always going to be a frosty encounter. germany is new, foreign minister, and i lena bear book on the home. tough of sag gayla roff, one of the world's longest serving foreign ministers. she had a plain accusation that rossa is destabilizing europe. in the next vocal happens over the past few weeks, more than 100000 russian troops, equipment and tanks have been deployed near ukraine for no reason. it's hard not to see that as a threat, blah roth through the accusation, right?

back, commodity. but i, it's even if we don't written anybody with anything, but we do hear the threats addressed to us. i hope it only to reflect certain emotions that certain powers inside within the western camp. in the west that the north stream to pipeline connecting russia to germany is increasingly seen as a diplomatic front line. in berlin, german chancellor olaf saw its, gave the clearest signal yet that he's open to sanctions on the pipeline. if russia attacks ukraine, claus to his clears that in the event of a military intervention against ukraine, they'll be a high price to pay. and that everything will be up for discussion. with salts was nato secretary general un stoughton bags treading a fine line between the willingness for dialogue and the determination to act. lay toys of a ready order may draw laws already to engage and listen to concerns

rashaw may have, but we will not compromise on court principles. the stakes are rising in the d o political game that is challenging the stability and power balance in europe. things are moving fast. next out, u. s. secretary of state antony blinkin will be in keith on berlin this week before his own one on one with sag oliver off in geneva on friday, and preferably in from rural this. i'm janelle, by raphael, los, she's with the european council on foreign relations. it's good to see you again. you were meeting every day here because this situation is changing every day. what your read on the talks that were held today in moscow between the german and russian foreign ministers upon desolate movement, currently in europe, as the ukraine crisis heats up on an empty book. as it is a russian counterpart in moscow to day. the press conference and that the 2 gave

after the initial consultations on a nearby book, it had the right marks. i think she spoke about the foundation of the european security order, the helsinki final act, the paris trotta. she mentioned the fortunes of alexander bonnie and the angel memorial. but at the same time, she had to watch the russians. she expressed a desire from the side of the german government for substantive and stable relations with russia. so i think in her remarks, we found this, there's probably no that nato, a quality around of deterrence and, and to taunt off providing a strong response to russian aggression, but also be willing to engage them. s. s, nato secretary general in short to set to engage them to listen to rational concerns and to discuss risk reduction measures,

arms control and song. and what we saw the day we had the german foreign minister in moscow. we had the new german chancellor at nato headquarters b. these are, this is the highest ranking you can get from germany dealing with a crisis of this level. are we getting the same message here that's coming from this new government? i mean, is germany going to walk the walk and not just talk the talk when it comes to punishing russia? if an invasion of ukraine takes place? we see the question pot most certainly is enough. coalescing around the same message, i think for the longest time, all of shows jeremy's chancellor was reluctant to put notes for him to on the table as a deterrent towards where you're rushing aggression against ukraine. back in december, he said that motioning to was a private sector project didn't have any political geopolitical relevance today in his oppressor, with what's installed burke, he said that everything would be up for discussion. if, if russia attacked you crane a message at the greens and the f t p,

the 2 other quotient partners off, germany's new collision government has been emphasizing for a while now. and it's, and it's great to see that the call issue seems to be landing on the same page when it comes to this effort to dissuade martin moscow's renewed aggression against the queen rough. here it is. is it clear here? i mean, are we getting this message from this new german government? if russia invades ukraine, germany were unilaterally killed the nord stream to pipeline? is that message clear? i think a journey is locked into anything you know, naturally, but it would do so, certainly, and consultations with us nato allies, with nato partner said to sweden and finland, and certainly with ukraine as we've heard any blinking m. s. s. and traveling to europe this week. as well,

he's going to kiss tomorrow. he's going to be in berlin on thursday, and then presumably will meet his russian count upon say gala ruffin geneva on friday. so that's a full cold press to diffuse this crisis. and anything that drove me what decide what certainly not be the natural, but rather and consultation office of trying to that context. rural feel looks with the european council on foreign relations, raphael, we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. we're tonight the european parliament. you see you're right there has a new president, members elected conservative. roberto met sola from malta vance, their new leader. she's 43. the youngest person ever to hold this job. and she's only the 3rd woman since the european parliament was created in 1958 met. tele succeeds, the italian, david cecily, who died last week received our brussels bureau chief, alexander phenomena, met with roberto, met. so le,

and asked her about her priorities as the new president of the new parliament. that festival, it's a great privilege and an honor to have been elected by my colleagues to day to says that as president of this house as their precedent, it has been a very interesting campaign with negotiations discussions. but of course are within the shadow of the passing of form, the president of its acidity. the 1st thing i will do is to on a his legacy and i will carry the responsibilities that he has left us and me and my colleagues with in order to truly reform this parliament as he said, give it a fresh face and more forward looking, become more efficient and effective in the way we do work, but also become more visible and more effective in the way we communicate. i would like this european parliament to be much better present in all men, the state capital in all the schools. so that when children look to the european parliament, they can see something that represents their ideas and something that will ultimately protect them and was,

were better meant to la speaking with this earlier. let's take a look down some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. british prime minister boys, johnson has denied suggestions that he lied to parliament about a lockdown breaking party held in his office. he says, no one warned him that the party might violate strict coven 19 rules. he's under growing pressure to resign over several gatherings that were organized by his staff findings from a government inquiry or do as early as this week. major u. s. airlines or warning that a new 5 g service that's due to be deployed a wednesday, could cause catastrophic disruption to air travel. they say a t and t and verizon new 5, g technology might affect flight instruments and render many aircraft unusable. some foreign carriers have announced that they are suspending flight to the united states over safety concerns. at least 10 people have been killed in flash floods, triggered by heavy rain and madagascar cars capital, anton,

another evil disaster officials have more than 500 people have been displaced by the flooding. the and he remains on high alert for more wet weather with a psych loan forecast to hit madagascar ours east coast. later this week. the government of tonga has released the 1st details of damage that was caused by last weekend's volcanic eruption. and soon on me with the country's only internet cable cut, communications remain limited. the images taken by 8 new zealand surveillance flight . you see them right there. show ash, covering much of the pacific island nation. the blanket of ash is also making it impossible for plains to land at the airport. ships carrying relief supplies are on the way from australia and new zealand, but because of the enormous distance it, it will still be a couple of days before the vessels reached tonka. who went to brienne, sean casey, he's with the world health organization. he's the health cluster coordinator for the pacific region. he's joining me to night from fiji. it's good. we appreciate

you taking time to talk with us to night is the people on tonga, what's the biggest threat to them right now? thanks for having me. at this point the, the small islands, as you mentioned in the high group, mungo islands island, the, the buildings are almost completely destroyed on those islands and the populations are having to be relocated actually. so that's underway, and that's being led by the government up to that more broadly. but the whole country is covered in ash and that is contaminating water supplies. so the, the most urgent need for the entire population is really access to water. and for, for some communities, it's going to be a shelter and reconstruction. and as you mentioned, we have very little communications with talking at the moment. the internet cable is cut and international calls are impossible. and so we're relying completely on the satellite communication, which is very patchy and very difficult at the time,

but we are, we are able to communicate, but in very short bursts in so we've got these 1st photos, these 1st images that the world is seeing now of the devastation that we're going to be showing this to our viewers. what did you think when you saw those 1st images it's, it's it's disturbing to see the level of destruction to the, the, the, these green islands. i mean, i've been to tongue several times. it's a very green last place, beautiful, beautiful items. and it really does look like everything is covered in ash and it changes the whole image of the country from what you from what you imagine to be it's, it's, it's, it's a sad situation. but the government of tommy is really taking the lead. they jumped right into action, deployed their own ships, their own national emergency medical team to the most effected areas. and we have

support on the way. so hopefully this, this recovery effort can proceed in the coming days. and we know that getting helped to the people target is the 1st priority. but tanya, because of its geography, has this the selection of being a, a country, a place that is coded free. there is no corona virus on this, on the main island does proving or providing aid to the people. does that also put public health at risk? that's right to tony is one of the very few countries in the world that is still covered for you. there's no cover cases locally at all in the country and it's the responsibility of everybody that's involved to do our best to, to manage that risk. so at this point, we don't immediately expect that personnel will be deployed into the country that may change over the coming weeks. but with, if it does,

it would require as significant risk mitigation measures. but target has stayed coban free by very carefully managing its borders and taken great precautions. and i don't think they want to compromise that. and at this point they're, they're using their own resources to respond and, and very effectively, particularly our island. so we don't expect that lots of personnel will deploy, perhaps none into the country, but the supplies that are needed are already on the way. what that is good to hear . sean katie from the w h o joining us tonight from fiji. sean, thank you. thank you. we are entering the 3rd year of the corona virus pandemic in tonight we want to focus on south africa. that was the 1st country to sound the alarm about the omicron corona virus variant and other countries are looking to learn from its experiences. now data shows how, oh, micron causes a spike in case numbers because it's much more infectious than previous variant.

south africa's 4th wave was therefore sharper and shorter you see right there at the end. crucially, the omicron wave has resulted in fewer deaths than previous waves. and there were also, if you were hospitalizations, it's all good news. some experts have concluded that omicron is therefore less dangerous, but others are warning that many cases may have gone unreported or undetected. so the real numbers of cases and deaths when they say they could be much higher and they are warning not to underestimate. omicron as a milder variant to day is an important day, was the pedal, highly born in 2 years ago. financial problems and the pandemic forced him to close his bar and dressed rent and kate towns, kylie chuck township. but now he's fine in the re opening over does what does a lot of things that we need to put your eggs and different buckskin and also you

need to try and think outside the building. because i mean, for me, i don't test the storm from whatever bed situation that, i mean i always knew propose a tip. i taught things that i can do instead of complain. after nearly 2 years, most lockdown restrictions were lifted, including and nightly curfew. tourists have once again been pouring into the country. they had been mass cancellations following the discovery of the army. crowd variant. life is slowly getting back to normal. here in cape song was decreasing numbers in you cobra infections data from south africa suggests, although while micron is much more infectious, the amount of people that were admitted to hospitals was much lower than during previous waves. many. yeah, hoping that we're seeing the beginning of the end on the pandemic. i always that i want even. yeah. but the, the name holbert. that is what we're wishing for the day. everyone is going i've

been allowed connect thing going outside with daddy now. don't know how long, and i hope that only god is actually the final stage of his marriage to see slash enjoyment. this actually happened and so i'm so happy that the business is grooming people to stop making money out of officially open when lost as the sky. touch it with them business. i'm glad that we can get to come here and enjoy. many scientists also optimistic despite the low vaccination rate by religious dwarf gung plaza says that many south africans had already and infected with the corona virus before the only true waste hospital data show that a prior corona, virus infection, or vaccination, provides protection against severe illness. also with the army from various women and i'm as if you are too nice to be here. dear tide will practice. allah's entered address you tomorrow tom would again didn't. or if you get to a situation like this, where nearly every one has had it or has been vaccinated,

then you can relax. of course, on the other hand, it is summer here, and the big school break took place over most of the 4th wife. vacation was shorter in europe. school is starting again, and it's winter when people spend much more time together indoors or the selfish winter will know if he makes those are considerable differences. that's why you can't just say, we expect things to go like they have in south africa, dusty. but toggling darden idea of oddness a little iffy in a suit, africa, pies, or hopes that the pandemic could become endemic. as with other corona viruses, if most of the population has a basic immunity from previous infection or vaccination, higgins will galati hall flow does feel reg, america, officials with the booster info. ellen kong, i still have hope that we can get around regular booster shots. i can well imagine that if everyone has basic immunity, possibly with a specific ami kron booster, and another variance doesn't come as

a nasty surprise. then we can keep our immunity up by nature means via regularity. infections with a corona virus, and dusky at andrea ag macy can be to infect you image fame cold of yours and even the texas zone off. and i truly have isaac and advocacy in buells early because no one wants to think about more mutations right now in the middle restaurant and bar. certainly not illness. he believes he already has big plans and wants to expands to other cities. he believes that the prospects was on africa once again. ah, at least 12 people have been killed in an air strike on humans capital. so now that's according to hootie rebels. the saudi led coalition launch the strike lead on monday in retaliation. it says for a previous attack, there was carried out by the who these against the united arab emirates. and the you aim is a part of the military coalition, which has been at war with yemen,

hudy's 1st 7 years. the conflict is left about 2 thirds of humans, population dependent on foreign aid ice flat bread, fresh from a stone oven. it's the specialty of, and becky's bakery and downtown san on. on some staff members are busy baking. others are chopping wood for the oven. they used to heat with gas that made their job much easier. oh, there's no gas because at the war we don't even have any for a bakery here and then i'll have to buy firewood at the wood market. and if there is none, there i have to go to the valleys outside of santa. none of them have, i will have, uh, go ahead under that. huh. after 7 years of war, conditions in yemen, capital santa are getting worse by the day. saudi arabia is block and gas imports in the military coalition bomb centers, airport in december. that made getting access to humanitarian and medical aid even

harder. hospitals depend on medical supplies from abroad. the devastating impact of the war is most evident in the children's ward. among is 11 years old. she severely malnourished and fighting to stay alive, but the doctors here are overstretched. amo's mother says there's little the staff can do i, where i lead yet the blood. we've been here for 5 days and it's not getting better at via. she's getting medicine and pain relief, which is very expensive for us. i think that's all we can do to stop the last about man, if i you, she one and 10 children and yemen is malnourished. some 400000 and all in order to beg bread for the children of his country baker belong a shuttle abbey. as to head out to the valleys is not the only one looking for wood . the gas shortage and the capital has driven many, empties to the valleys. the fire, what business is boomy?

mitchell has added a little that the profit between the vehicle owners and the wood cutters. why a load is worth around $100.00. leave the ab had in belgrade. 100 lot of lab belong a shot. abby has found a good tree to fell. he heads back with a decent load, a boy. those who don't own a car to get to the valleys have to make do with the wood market in santa many women come here in particular none of them wants to speak on camera, but home, but she, it shows us her kitchen the bakery is too expensive for her, so she makes friends for her family at home with a meager means available to her back and the keys bakery the now got an affair, went to get through the week there. this is what it tells me in my staff,

a lot of time and energy driving to the valley and getting the wood. and it all has to be paying for the whole body of hulu. but he'll carry on working as long as he can making bread in a country where more people are going hungry than ever before, with little hope of change and sight. let's take a look now at some of the other stories that are making news around the world for people were killed in the of jury in city, oregon. when an elevator in an 11 story building collapsed, 5 construction workers were inside. the only survivor is being treated for severe injures lithuanian parliament today voted to allow the use of the letters q, w, and x in official identification documents. now those 3 letters do not exist in the lithuanian alphabet until now. non natives in their family who wanted to use their original name, spelling in lithuanian passports,

where they had to get permission from the courts. a new book and claims to have solved a lingering mystery in holocaust history for decades. no one was sure who betrayed the amsterdam hiding place of teenage diary rider and frank and her family to the nazis. the authors of a new book say their research points to a surprising suspect. her short life, one of millions, ended in the holocaust. german born school girl, anna frank. for more than 2 years, the teenager lived with her family in attic rooms, hidden behind a bookcase and nazi occupied, amsterdam. keeping a diary of their ordeal until the family were discovered and sent to the bergen belsen concentration camp. now a research team think they've cracked the puzzle of who betrayed them. that way

investigated about 30 more than 30 scenarios. and i think we can say with quite a certainty that about 2928 of these scenarios are virtually impossible. the scenario said that the notary arnold from the birth are well known in amsterdam and it over lists of people in hiding and that's and on that list was yet earth to 63 princess off the, the home of the annex. the team believe found and back who himself was jewish, disclose the frank hiding place to save his own family from deportation and murder . the director of the anna frank house museum says it's a fascinating hypothesis, but needs further investigation. why thing, what, what this new theory is brain us is not just information about what has happened here in the 4th of august 9044, but very much also about ah, the did the. busy the behavior of people, the choices they have made,

decisions they have taken during a very difficult period of time. the mystery of who betrayed the frank family may never be definitively solved. but the research succeeds in highlighting the complexities of a dark chapter of history. your watch dw news, his reminder of the top story that we are following for you. the german foreign minister on the lena bear bock is promising solidarity with ukraine against russian aggression. she met to day with her russian counterpart, sergey lebrun. you're watching the w news after a short break. i'll be back to take you through the day tonight trying to de escalate the tensions with russia over ukraine. plus a look at the messaging app telegram. do you know who's messaging you will be right back with
