warped suits for? so just all these guys basically changed the course of the war and gave ukraine the possibility to prove on the battlefield that we have a strong army. mostly ukraine says that their mission at the mario post steel plant is complete, and that its defender is fully accomplished, what they set out to do. nevertheless, the city's loss, an evacuation of its people, is a major, symbolic blow free crane. one that came at a heavy price for both sides. and earlier we spoke with frank ledger a regular military analyst and asked them how the ukrainian soldiers holding out in the steel plump contributed to the ukrainian war effort. this so called russian a pyrrhic victory, demonstrates ukrainian strengths, ironically, and russian weaknesses,

and let the lens of sweep more widely. these defenders have created something of a national myth around that last stand, which is what it effectively was. and what they've done is they focused international attention far wide in the military aspect. i mean, let's look, for example, the rather curious incident but very telling is your vision this weekend, where a vicious and savage siege in the steel plant in southern ukraine became internationally shared as a eurovision song contest. that's the information war in action. and that's why the ukrainians have succeeded. this is a tactical defeat for them, but very much a strategic success in the broader in the broader aspect of the war that was military alice frank leverage speaking to us a little earlier. now let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines today. finland and sweden have formerly submitted membership is to join the nato military alliance. ambassadors to

the, to nordic nations handed in the applications to nato secretary general un spoken back in process. they will need unanimously by nato members to join, but turkey has already signal opposition. north korean leader kim jong on has criticized officials as suspected cases of cov 19 continue to serge, or than 1700000 people have displayed symptoms of young is calling fever. since april the countries anti virus authority says most patients have recovered. a global experts are deeply concerned. in south korea, people have been flocking to a new tourist attraction, the blue house that's the presidential palace and sold with opened to the public for the 1st time since the country's founding in 1948. fulfilling a pledge by south korea's new president is offices have now been moved to the defense. been around a 100 firefighters have contained

a fire in los angeles, close to the iconic griffith observatory. blaze spread to cover an area of 6 acres before being brought on. the control authorities say that a suspected arsonist has been detained, but not arrested. the area was evacuated and no injuries have been reported through lancaster are facing the most difficult months of their lives. that's a grim warning from the nations new prime minister asked the country faces it's worst economic prices in more than 70 years. for lanka, desperately needs foreign currency to pay for at central medicines. ronelle wick raimie singh who was appointed last week has said, sri lanka is nearly out of petrol. india has promised to send vital shipments of fuel. they have yet to arrive. as political instability to the economic crisis has sparked white spray. anti government protests did abuse. manila child

re is intro lancaster. biggest city colombo, she summed up how difficult the situation is right now. for the average sri lankan citizen. so bad is not even the word they're using like the word they're using is dire. situation is that bad right now there is few or short is that is for short, is that it's being wanted be but it was the people who aren't even in the city of columbia had their daughter on what installed on what basically bonnie boyd which is very humble for their hands as well. there are 6 to 8 our loan followed by the pantry and the assignment that said that the follow up i would actually go on for 15. i've been in the founding the week and the prime minister is the right address for the nation. also said that the bunny, your mom will be the top it on the line with that was the w correspondence, manero chaudhry, a reporting from sri lanka. now the last 7 years have been the warmest on record. you will see levels also reached

a record high in 2021 flooding and china western europe cause to billions of dollars in damage. the u. s. in canada also saw temperatures rise to unprecedented levels. these are just some of the findings of a new report by the world mitchell logical organization. we have more on that in a moment. but 1st, this look at how extreme heat induced by climate change is already making life practically on livable for millions. in india it's a heat wave that one in 6 people on earth currently struggling through blistering heat has scorched india. and pakistan for weeks on the weekend temperatures hit a record high of 49 degrees celsius in the indian capital daily. where i'm 74 years old. i've never seen new delhi go through this much heat ever in my life. we used to hear about the heat might just on that. we used to think of it as

an unfortunate event when rochester used to go through 48 degrees celsius. this year, all the records have been broken record. the climate change though, ready, made extremes like this. hotter and more likely, the heat has killed crops and hut harvest. the farmers themselves can't catch a break either that we make it makes us thursday or where else are exposed to more heat. we have to work with cloth wrapped over a head. and if we don't look at a headache, we cannot afford to stop working, gone, but they're like what i am. heat makes people less productive. but staying outside the too long as many work as an even children are forced to do, can cause fatal damage to organs. temperatures will keep rising as long as people continue to burn fossil fuels. in a bid to keep whether extremes like this from wrecking communities,

world leader than 2015 promised to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius. this century. the average increased might not sound like a lot, but the effect it has on extremes is a matter of life and death. but within the studio is d w, environment reporter, engineer, and john, who filed that a report that i did tell us about the key findings of this new report from the world mentor logical organization for last year, the world broke records for 4 critical indicate that the health of the planet of the climate. now the well meteorological organisation recorded levels of greenhouse gas pollution in the atmosphere that had never seen before. it saw the oceans had become hotter, they become higher sea levels have risen and they become more acidic as well. now all of the things our alarm bells that tell us about the health of the climate and

the planet and showed that the trend of worsening weather extreme is only going to get worse. but what the report also documented clearly was that these extremes are already hid the already happening. some of them are attributable to climate change kind of changes made them worse and more likely. and this is already causing more than $100000000000.00 of damage each year. i mean people in india now experiencing the effects, there are tell us more about the consequences of this kind of heat for the consequence of the really far reaching you can have day to day life just being made unpleasant and uncomfortable for weeks on end. i mean, people are struggling to just do basic catholic, going to school, going to work during the grocery shopping for people have to walk outside or become just so in the report. farmers, builders, outdoor laborers. this can really be deadly and many don't have a choice. they have to work, they can afford to stay at home. but the effects really reach well beyond india and pakistan as well as borders. because, i mean we're seeing damages to crops and farming that have knock on effect for the

entire world. so that will be to a logical organization report already outlined by 2021. this compounding crises of climate, covert to conflict, had already undermined decade the progress towards reducing hunger in the world. now on top of that, that the war in russia and ukraine, this also in india, heat wave that are killing crops. now talking about india, india has been accused by environmental organisation of single handedly torpedoing the 1.5 degree target that you also mentioned in your report with its strong reliance on coal to meet its energy needs. i think it's 3 quarters of the energy needs of india's met by, by co will this extreme heat change mines in india, both the government and maybe also in the population. can't see when the phoenix stream weather events rock countries like germany, australia in particular,

which had ter terrible wildfires in recent years. these countries have within some level of size awareness about climate change increase, but it's very hard to act and, and fi whether it really changes people's minds about this with the indian case with also perhaps important distress. the india, if one of many countries that is pushing the world beyond this 1.5 degree temperature threshold, that wild lead of promise to try to keep us to. and i mean, if we just compare country like germany, so here in germany, you and i burn essentially more coal than the average indian does. because you got more energy and germany still have looked at it back half it as a different story, isn't it? and so when i speak climate scientists in india, i mean one of them recently told me that, i mean, the key thing the india can do now is come up with good heat management plans. but she office dress that there are limits to that level of adaptation that on top of that countries like india and other developing countries or poor countries, need to put pressure on high emitter that are also continuing to invest in fossil fuels and switch to clean the sources of energy. so what can be done to avoid these

weather extremes? briefly. so there are 2 main things, cut the pollution and adapt to the effect steps and both of these things are doable and they're within reason. and they often have a lot of benefits for society. if we switch to renewable sources of energy, we reduce air pollution, which helps people dying from lung disease at the same rate. if we adapt to the extremes that were already become worse, then we can also strengthen society and build the animal sustainable way. so there, click up solutions and find a sub or insistent now we know what to do. thank you very much. a generic john. our environment report. thank you. if you're watching the w news you, as a reminder, the top story we're following for you. russia says nearly a thousands ukrainian fighters have surrendered and the besieged as of style. steel was in the city of mario full. since the start of this week, hundreds have already been taken to russian control territory. key of hopes they can be traded in for russian captives bought some lawmakers in moscow. ok,

holding for them to be put on trial in space. and that's it from me and the new steam stephen beds. lee has a business news coming up next. domco hub l 1st in elaine banks with nico is in germany to learn german. hello benita. why not learn with him online? on your mobile and free d w e learning course, eco's vague ah .
