[000:00:00;00] ah ah this is the w news. life from berman and nato's expansion plans in jeopardy as turkey blocks talks on friend and, and sweet and joining the western military alliance. and nato ambassadors failed to reach agreement. also on the program, moscow says maybe a 1000 ukrainian fighters have surrendered to russian forces in mario paul, and their fate is now unclear. united nations issues. it's latest stark warning about climate change. as scientists say, key indicators of global warming have hit new records,

and the time is running out. north korea sent in the army to deal with an outbreak of covey, 19 among unvaccinated population, with a health care system that likes testing equipment. ah, i'm fil gail. welcome to the program. turkey has blocked talks on finland and sweden joining nato. both nordic nations have formerly submitted membership beds. new members need unanimous agreement from the 30 current states. but turkey is standing firmly against turkish president. read it, try bird one accuses finland and sweden of harboring kurdish terrorists. another dispute is over sophisticated weaponry for turkey. the issue could actually be

about us fighter jets. turkey was dropped from the f 35 advanced fighter jet development program in 2019. this was part of a us sanctions packet imposed on the country after it bought a russian air defense system. many believe anchor is now hoping to pressure the u. s. and to selling it new f. 16 fighter jets instead. an extremely controversial topic in washington. another issue in 2019 sweden halted weapons deliveries to turkey after it attacked kurdish people's defense units in northern syria and launched and offensive there. anamosa turkish president reject type odor. one could considered this grounds enough to block the start of nato. accession talked for sweden and finland possibly destabilizing the alliance. and the process would, it would play into president putin's hands. it would send a signal that there is no unity within nato. the wrong signal at precisely the

wrong moment signifies insipid. in new york, u. s. secretary of state antony blinkin and his turkish counterpart may have looked shop of shallow met in an attempt to find the compromise. there shall be charlemagne took his position clear your gear as being supporting the open door policy on nato, even before this war. but with regard to this possible or candidate already, candidate countries, you know, we have also legitimate security concerns that they have been supporting a terrorist organizations and they're also an expert restrictions on earth defense products. every concession turkey winds from the situation will likely isolated further in nato circles, but will win president owed one political points at harm. something he will welcome as turkey heads towards presidential elections next year. that let's get more than

armor meeting between the turkish or foreign minister and the u. s. secretary of state or in his poll is our washington bureau chief, welcomed in us a. how did the meeting go over them and finland and sweden signal they were thinking of making this dark decision? joining nato, the alliance expected a tough response from moscow not from one of its own. so ever since turkey raised conditions for accepting the membership, the rest of nato was actually really irritated and pretty outspoken about it. however, we hear from today's meeting between the foreign minister of turkey and biden's national security advisor, blinking that both sides are on a path to find an agreement. but at this point, they don't mention this sir, this specifics, right? so what, what's in it? what's, what does turkey want out of this meeting? right, so, and gross main demands are for the nordic countries to hold support for kurdish

millison or groups present on their, on the nordic, a territory. and they also are want them to live their bands and some a sales of arms to turkey, add ons, or is obviously using the current war in ukraine to raise his case, as he knows or how important it is for nato to stay united against vladimir putin plus adon is also facing an election with in his own country and his paws are really down. so he definitely wants to show strength to his own people yet. and this is not his 1st, her argument with nato allies. so clearly he is not bothered about his country being isolated within the alliance. oh, well i wouldn't go so far, but i think it is fair to say that he is often playing kind of both sides. what do i mean with that? a, for example, he fights with russia and syria are on the one hand,

but supports ukraine against prudence. army. so why does he do that? because he wants to be seen as kind of an indispensable mediator which allows him after all, to keep doing business with everyone he wants to. so do we think that is the thinking about turkey will really stop sweden and finland from joining nato or will a deal be done? well, this find us is very confident are that they will reach a settlement. and her, there seems actually, i mean, from my understanding being here in washington and reporting about the white house, there seems no way that nato really would give out on this power. and i think it is pretty possible that we know more after biden met with the presidents of sweden and finland to morrow, here in washington at the white house. thank about it. as it is pole in washington . back in the ukraine, russia says nearly

a 1000 or ukrainian soldiers of the as of sour still works in mario all have surrendered ukrainian authorities, how they can be traded for russian prisoners of war. but some lawmakers in moscow, according for them to be put on trial and even executed ukraine, says talks about evacuating. the remaining of fighters from the plant are continuing. there are fears that ukrainian fighter is defended the as of style plant in marty you. paul could face rough justice from moscow. russian tv show defeated troops being led away from the sprawling steel plant. russia says they will be treated according to international norms, but there have been calls to designate the feared as of regiment, a terrorist organization, or a russian law maker. taking part in peace talks with keith said russia should consider the death penalty for the as of regiment then to the st. louis missouri post that they do not deserve to live after the monstrous crimes against humanity that they have committed and are committed continuously against our prisoners.

upwards of lustre, bloom, ukraine officials remain hopeful, their soldiers can be exchanged for russian prisoners of war. as national welcome from our side, we can say that the negotiation process is ongoing and that the rescue operation itself is also ongoing. up to him, core, let us try. there is also been some unprecedented criticism of the war from unexpected quarters. sam aguilar enough enough that the main problem with our military and political position is that we are in full geopolitical isolation. and that however much we hate to admit that virtually the entire world is against us. let me see, and that's the situation we need to get out of flats in lat that we got them. are you paul? victory? marx, a rare win for rushes military in it's 3 month invasion of ukraine, but it could be short lived. finland and sweden have made a joint application to join nato, a further set back to moscow's ambitions to contain the expansion of the block. last our correspondent misuse of brooding, her

a car hockey. what was likely to happen to the ukrainian soldiers captured in valuable? that's hard to say, what's most likely to happen. ukraine is to hoping for a prisoner exchange. and this is what we understand was the deal be in the very beginning, but everybody is aware that this kind of deal is not worth a lot until it has happened. the reason why these for fighters have stayed so long in the steel works and why they have not surrendered, despite her having very little food left very little ammunition left, et cetera. was that they feared that in russian hands they would be either executed or tortured. what we're hearing now from moscow, it points to that possibility as well, that might be where they are now in their hands. it's mosque on our sides. what will happen to them and how much of a blow is the loss of mary apple to the ukranian war?

effort well it has been basically from the very beginning, there was little hope that mary hugo could somehow be saved this faith to be occupied. it was, it was around it early in the war, and it was very clear that the ukrainian army did not have the capabilities and capacities to break through to the city and, and open a way in or out, and maybe keep control they were surrounded and it was a matter of time. so this does not come as a surprise and it does not have it. people feel feel sad about it, but it does not have sort of psychological blow in that way. what it does, however, militarily, is that it releases many of the russian troops who have been fighting that who might now be deployed elsewhere to that on bus, where the most intense fighting is going on now. and you are in a country that 2nd biggest city. what's going on there now?

the city is a little bit breathing after a long time of being not besieged because it was never surrounded. but the russian troops being very close and shelling the city residential quarters have been sure the city center has been hit by several rockets. there's a lot of destruction in the city and people have been hiding in the city for for many, many weeks. for 4 months. actually, so now it's a bit safer, although we do hear cemetery somewhere in the distance, we've been to a village today that's outside of the city that was occupied and that the ukrainian forces have taken back recently and fighting is still going on there. they've pushed russians away from the cities borders, but not out of the region. thank you for that mrs. putting in a russian soldier being tried for alleged for crimes and ukraine has admitted

killing a 62 year old civilian as a 1st case of its kind since the invasion, ukrainian prosecutors, as the trial sends, a clear message to those who commit war crimes will not escape responsibility. so stood in a glass box in a packed courtroom in chief. a russian soldiers fate hangs in the balance. he's been accused of a war crime. the case centers on the shooting of an unarmed civilian in the semi region in the 1st week of russia's invasion of ukraine. worth your while while we're a translator. the judge asks the russian sergeant, if he pleads guilty, she was with the woman from inside the glass box comes the answer. yes, i do know that if you're, if the court convicts him the 21 year old russian could spend the rest of his life in prison. the lawyer for the accused soldier plans to challenge the war crimes

charge despite his clients guilty plea. oh boucher, well no, we've moved to the fact that he pleaded guilty doesn't necessarily mean guilty to the exact charges, detailed by the prosecutors. i think it omitted that those events happened. but as for the classification, the court will decide with i personally don't see criminal substance in his actions . there was only one year flow from the you. watching the trial is katerina shelley up over the widow of the caled 62 year old civilian alexander shelly, a puff. as a young man, her husband used to work with russians during the soviet era for katerina. any forgiveness is a long way off. can you forgive him? oh, when you know they brought too much grief to us is of her too many children have been

killed. there has been too much brutality or yours, but willowbrook barbara, you crane accuses the russian army of committing widespread war crimes. it's a charge that moscow denies, but she cranes, prosecutor general, irena benedict over scene here with journalists, is preparing cases against at least $41.00 russian soldiers back at the court in keith. the countries long fight for justice is just beginning a quick look at some other news related to this war. the united states has reopened its embassy in case the state department says, a small number of staff will return to your premium capital. several countries including germany, france and britain, have re open the embassies over the last month of the russian troops withdrew from the region. you're paying commission president ursula on the line has announced

a $210000000.00 plan for europe to end its dependence on russian fossil fuels. germany, belgium, the netherlands, and denmark also pledge to increase wind power production in all se, agreement was signed at an actual energy summit in denmark. and also international criminal court is sending forensic experts and investigators to ukraine to pro possible war possible crimes against humanity. western allies accused russia of committing war crimes including the murder of civilians. the un has launched a 5 point plan aimed at averting a global climate catastrophe. secretary general antonio terrace has warned that time is running out of temperatures rise. scientists are also sounding the alarm for key climate indicators, including greenhouse gas concentrations and rising sea levels of new records last year. much the world is already failing the effect it's

a heat wave that one in 6 people on earth are currently struggling through blistering heat have 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 and i've never seen new delhi go through this much heat ever in my life. we used to hear about the heat and much austin 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 recorded the climate change though. ready made extremes like this hotter and more likely the heat has killed crops and hurt harvest. the farmers themselves can't catch a break either that we may go next thursday, or where else have exposed to more heat,

to have to work with cloth wrapped over head. and if we don't look at a headache, we cannot afford to stop working again. because like what again, and heat makes people less productive, but staying outside for too long as many workers and 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 leaders in 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 extreme is a matter of life and death. laura patterson is the world major logical organizations coordinator at the united nations, and she joins us from new york. welcome to the w. we've just seen there some of the

devastating effects of this temperature increase. now your organization says temperatures could climb even higher in the next 5 years, wasn't the paris climbers agreement meant to stop this from happening? well, yes it is. you know, the key aim of the pirates agreement is to limit global temperature rise to 2 degrees and pursue efforts to try and keep that down to 1.5 degrees. and the reports that w m. o has released today and it shows that one was already around about $1.00 degrees warmer than pre industrial times. as he said, we've also in recent weeks seen that there's also an increasing chance of reaching temporarily 1.5 degrees. and one of the years in the next 5 years, however, it is worth stressing that this is different to what the power agreement calls for the parents agreement speaks about long term averages. and so one year here,

there is not what breaches the piracy agreement saying that this, you know, this is all going in the wrong direction. and today's report really highlights that the 7 climate indicators and the w monitors are all going in the wrong direction. all right, so if everything's going in the wrong direction, but we're still within the parish limits. how panic should we be? so i think we should, we should be taking this incredibly seriously. we should be stepping off. i'm. i'm vision and action. and we really do need to know we don't have the loan, the i p c. c. it's been clear that we need to really start massively reducing our greenhouse gas. it's our, our greenhouse gas emissions this decade. and the current plans that have been submitted to the paras agreements aren't, you know, giving that result yet. so we really do need government to really be taking up their level of our mission. and otherwise these temperature goals are going to be out of reach. it's interesting that your reporter comes out today on the same day

that the european commission amounts. there's a multi 1000000 euro effort to win itself off. russian fossil, fossil fuels and invest in renewable energy i out see it's, it's intriguing that it takes a war to get companies to take this seriously. yes, it is a war and also probably a cost of living prices as well is showing that it's really not sustainable for, you know, and it's not in it's, it's not efficient and it's not a national security interests and to be reliant on fossil fuels and easy you know, and relatively cheap, our solution is to really step up our investment and renewable energy and to stop subsidizing fossil fuels and, and to really accelerate action in that direction. so we saw in the report the some of the effects and heard about it about how heat damages are productivity. if this

trend continues, what else are we likely to say? well we're going to definitely continue to see the types of heat extremes that were in your report in india and pakistan at the moment and all of the health impacts and the economy impacts that go with that. and interestingly, today, there was also a study released that showed that the types of temperatures of record temperatures in those regions are up to 100 times more likely now because of climate change. so we can expect far more of that. we can expect more droughts, more intense flooding and more intense rainfall leading to flooding situations, much like as the before details as was seen in germany and western europe last summer. we're also going to continue to see sea levels rising. and so last, maybe the amount of you know, the rate of sea level rise half a centimeter

a year doesn't sound like much when you add that up and put that on top of storm surge is associated with clothes. and you really do start to see, you know, an increase in chance that more coastal flooding. and i thought those extra little sea level rise helps to breach those levies and see goals. ok, well and no one can say we weren't want to laura patterson from the world major logical organization. thank you so much. chris struggling with an outbreak of covered 90 authorities of registered more than 1700000 cases describing the illness as a favor related. but there aren't enough tasks from filling young appears not to have vaccinated. it's citizens, a warlike approach to an invisible enemy. north korea is putting on your strength footage from state media channels. thousands of on the medics have been mobilized one. i'll begin family as always is front and center.

a displays may not be enough to combat be a patent wave of over 19 global fios of public health crisis. amine, hi the democratic people's republic of korea. the piano k has announced, sir there to stay to media their 1st outbreak of corbett 19 doubly joys, deeply concerned at the risk of further spread of coffee. 19 in the country, particularly because the population is unbox. united. not korea has one of the world's worst health care systems. it's hospitals are believed to be poorly equipped with few intensive care units. and it's one of the only do un member states that has not rolled out much vaccination against gov at 19. but an uncontrolled outbreak, good have consequences beyond not korea global? i think her to, we chose as has repeatedly said that where you have unchecked transmission,

there's always a higher risk over new variance emerging. and part of that strategy, or suppressing infection of actually is yes to save lives are in terms over reducing hospitalization and deaths, but also to keep pressure on the virus. so we don't see the same race of evolution of the virus around the world or young has not responded to offers of international aid and assistance. outside observers believe that not korea's outbreak is almost certainly greater than what it is. reporting and doing nothing in response could have far reaching consequences. finally, to india and a man where the passion for birds, when rac asha cattery, moved from the countryside to the capitol, demi he was struck by the lack of birdsong. so to bring back his favorite sounds, he and his wife started building eco friendly nests for their feathered friends. these house sparrows have returned to the city after many years. thanks to one man

who has been making homes for thousands of birds. his name is raquel country, but up and down i used to get worried and think a lot about why we don't get to see any nests anymore. where have they gone? so i used to feel sad. there were new terms introduced like global warming, climate change. birds like peacocks and cuckoos were disappearing. people used to talk a lot about these things from the comfort of their air condition rooms. i used to think that these people talk so much about these big issues, but why don't they even think about where the nes have gone? so the delhi resident and his wife started to build nests for the birds with plastics and tetra pack. then they switched to eco friendly materials such as bamboo sticks. after a lot of trial and error, they eureka moment came release. most that we made over 20 masks like this and we sat down with our cameras. we waited for 3 days and people used to laugh at us, they would say, why will the birds go to your nest?

they make their nest by themselves. jennifer, on the 4th day i was sitting with my camera. people were passing by and laughing, but soon a male sparrow sat on one nest. i have a photograph of that sparrow on the nest on my website. he inspected it and flew away. then it came back after 5 minutes with a female sparrow, and the 2 had straws in their mouths. it sounds like a story from a movie, but it's the reality of my life. so when i saw this, i stood up and started clapping. the bird started coming to my nests. every content country himself has built nests for hundreds of thousands of house sparrows old. okay. and has won several awards for his work, liberty, my big organizations in the country and people abroad also realised that they can do this. if my husband can do it, then others can also do this kind of work, not only for sparrows, but for other animals to hook it to the old elaine, a odyssey halter animals. when now country teacher's school children can make now

passing the idea of conservation onto the next generation boy, on this journey that i started on 2008 is currently at 250000. now, i've taught this to more than a 1000000 students, teachers, and corporations. and i think this journey is never ending, as long as i have the strength in my body, and i hope i will continue this work is my passion and my professional. i thought set you up to date more world news at the top of the hour. i'll be back in just a moment though to take you through the day today looking at a little closer about war crimes. probably do kind of thinking about what might turn any soldier trains to kill into

a mattress with ah ah, nation as an environmental mm. a clothing graveyard. to land desert. this is where things were being industrial nations no longer need to waste. get stranded about the fun in the global fashion industry.

global 3000 to 60 minutes on d. w. oh. with the to go beyond. yes ma'am. all in as we take on the world i, we're all about the stories that matter to whatever it eastman following. dfw on fire made for mines. devastated houses are we can with effects of climate change. i mean felt worldwide before a station in the rain forest continued. carbon dioxide emissions have risen again.

young people all over the world are committed to climate protection. what impact will because change doesn't happen on its own. make up your own mind. d. w. late for mine's a 21 year olds, russian soldiers on trial in ukraine for war crimes. he's admitted, shooting and killing a 62 year old civilian to stop him from reporting the presence of russian troops in his village. but just think about that for a moment. 21 years old. what turns a 21 year old soldier into a war criminal? and where's the line in war time?
