ah, we can make a difference by choosing smartness solutions overstaying said in our ways global ideas, environmental series included 3000 on d, w, and online with ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin. the ukranian president visits troops on the front line and southern ukraine. follow the mirror landscape towards me, alive were soldiers fighting to prevent a russian advance along the black sea coast. also coming up the world experiences

more extreme weather has a heat wave hits europe flood devastates north east india and bangladesh. heavy monsoon rains, inundate the region, leaving dozens of people dead under millions homes. and there are spectacular and endangered as a climate change threatens australia's carl reefs. scientists say they may have found a way to keep this vital ecosystem along. ah, i'm pablo foley as welcome to the program. ukrainian, president of vala de mer zalinski has visited troops on the southern front line. while his army battled a russian onslaught in the eastern dom boss, region, ukrainian forces have also been fighting off attempts by russia to seize more territory near the southern cities of mc alive and odessa. with little change to front, i'm possessions in recent days,

the head of nato yen salton burke says the war could go on for years with inspecting the devastation with his own eyes. ukraine's president followed amid zalinski on his 1st tour of the southern front. in the strategic port of odessa and the embattled city of mc alive, the president awarded medals to the soldiers and doctors defending the front lines . his visit comes only a day after a russian strike killed 2 people, an injured 20 in mc alive. despite constant russian shelling in ukraine south, the main conflict remains focused on the don bus in the east. through i'd weary the focus of the invaders is now on the cities of seattle on ax combat moved to help to improve the tactical position. the enemy tried to conduct assault operations outside the city, gone, but was unsuccessful between them all. over the past few months,

russia has taken control of almost all of the eastern lu hans province largely due to an overwhelming artillery advantage. outnumbered and outgunned, ukraine has repeatedly urged the west to send heavy a weapons to the front blinds was blowing a dye is not the we have good weapons, but we need much better months. we need artillery the shoes further. our technology dates back to the eighty's. we take care of it often, but it still gets broken out of give, in fact the work you have western deliveries of heavy artillery have taken time, but some including these u. s. made how it's is already having an impact on the battlefield. you. uh huh. isn't it a mutual difference between the weapons we had before and the new ones remember? so this canon is much more precise which nisha it use faster and a simple to operate your some i because it's low to the ground, it's easier to camouflage it maliciously. does m deal actually you ma squat that as

the war increasingly becomes a battle of artillery, western military supplies are ever more critical. but for the ukrainian troops holding on in the don bus, the weapons aren't coming fast enough. dw correspondent to manual shadow is in keys, and she told me why presidents landscape visit was so important. ah, well, i will not amuse the landscape of president of all of the ukrainian is not just people based in careful people who have had to feed a country following this war. and he is very much proving its ad by dis, visits on the southern france, which has been under nearly constant shirley which has suffered a heavy fighting. and of course heavy losses for the ukrainian army. you have to keep in mind that there's at least a 100 ukrainian sold. it may be much more dying on a daily basis. so i think it's quite important that the president is coming to

visit the troops for a to boost their morale. and also he was handing out some meadows to talk to some soldiers who had been injured, but also for civilians. it's important that they don't only see their president or giving addresses from the presidential palace posts and posting his addresses of social media. it's important for ukrainians to see that their president is very much hands on and it is pretty, pretty much on their side because you notice a huge difference in this war about what is happening in the eastern frans and on the southern front compared to places that feel relatively safer, like human key if life is not normal because everybody is very much aware. it is a war going on, but we not under constant shedding just out, just like in other parts of the country. so very significant visit today. no. nato general secretary at yen stilton bird told the german newspaper today that the war

in ukraine could last a years. how much of a blow is this for ukrainians? and is there much discussion on what that might look like for you crime? i'm what really a struck me when i was talking to people here is that they are determined to not stop fighting until the last russian. so the we have a we have left a country suassa mayo beat any plates, comb, key of may of it. had it please call was saying yesterday he was saying, well, you can, we'll only go back at the negotiation table when the fights are, the fighting will have ended and when all the russian, so these will have, would have left a ukrainian. so this just shows you just how determined people are. you have to keep in mind that it, ukraine, didn't you know or didn't, isn't the aggressor in that conflict? it's defending its land is defending its culture so death, incredible sentiment of resilience, of determination to fight. no matter the cost,

unfortunately, the cost is very, very high. not just for soldiers is also countless civilians who are dying on the databases here in ukraine. emanuel shes in cave. thank you. ne, a, india and neighboring bangladesh have been hit by heavier than usual monsoon rains . causing widespread flooding, at least 9 people have been killed and 2000000 left homeless in the indian state. of some experts say floods following seasonal rains are increasing due to climate change. devastating floods unleashed by monsoon storms. millions of people in bangladesh and india saw their homes submerged under water. the floods have killed dozens in both countries. families are mourning the death of their loved ones. this man lost 2 of his grandchildren. hello, don't let them over. edward who lend history is making it harder for people to

reach shadow in does not use and state of awesome is also particularly hit by flooding and landslides. rescue teams have been raising to evacuate stranded villages. i want to give that a situation had been a little of him because a there had been heavy, it involves abbas food is and the whole of us armies are in under and the quantum depends on it if it varies from place to place. but extreme weather has become increasingly frequent in recent years. in many areas have had little time to recover before being hit again. 51 will if it is okay, this is the 3rd time that we're facing floods or i this time the flood has completely swamped the streets of the canal. whatever was repaired after. the 2nd flood is now again in ruins. north of you didn't obviously, not even all it why low lying here yards in bangladesh and india are more prone to

such disasters. many believe climate change is making. the situation was earlier how st. adeep, the acting director of water aid and bangladesh told me what the biggest risks are for those caught up in the flooding. well, thank you very much. and currently the situation as it is, it's quite intense. and the biggest smith is actually life livelihood security altogether. because the places have got inundated in a magnitude, which has been unprecedented over at the end of last 120 for years. so the place is speech and have never seen on the water level rising to that extent are now actually being updated. so there have been a bit of delay in terms of it, but we did. and one beatrice is that if we are still actually unaccounted or yet to be rescued, desperate indeed. now tell us what is most needed to am,

help the situation right, well of course there are some urgent response needed 1st of all rescue because as they just mentioned, that a good number of people still unaccounted or and the flat shelters are which are fight inadequate. given the magnitude of the crisis at the moment on lynch an elite or most of the school buildings are used as flat shelter other than the typical flat shelters. now in still a district 51st and 4th schools are none needed. so they're not being able to use that flat shelter. so the immediate need is, of course lou, food or shelter there has been, are a cut saw in many of the facts, flat shelters. people are actually living in the dark and security, our basic healthcare facilities and baby importantly, clean water and sanitation in down to the medium town because we expect after

a few days, even if the situation will remain green or the water will start to receive an receipt and we will start to see the real extent of that disaster and the damage, or it's those. and the infrastructure which are all due to damage from ubs, had been watched with the grades which have been harvested, a light start life dude altogether. and a water point, the additional facilities being watched. oh, it saw a massive air rehabilitation would require a immediately after, after the flood, as for medium dom hossein, a deep thank you. thank you. i, here's a round up of other stories making use this era. an international monetary fund delegation is had a to show lanka as the country seat, a loan loan program to deal with its ongoing economic crisis. lanka has run out of

foreign exchange to import essential items including food, fuel, and medicines. experts believe that immediate relief from the i m f is unlikely so called islamic state as the so called islamic states said it carried out the attack on a seek temple in the afghan capital. cobble 2 people died and several were injured . the jihadists said they were retaliating for alleged insults against the islamic prophet, muhammad, the un says afghanistan must do more to protect religious minorities. french voters are casting their ballots in the final round of parliamentary elections. opinion polls suggest president emmanuel, my cause allies will emerge as the biggest party in the new national assembly. but it isn't clear if you will get the absolute majority, he needs to push through his business friendly reform agenda. their climate change has impacted australia in many ways, including along its shorts. a country famous for its beautiful ocean reefs has seen

the phenomenon known as carl bleaching. that's essentially the destruction of reefs due to rising water, temperatures and scientists have been working hard to see if they can ever bring the reefs back to life. when the temperature rises, coral stress out in expel the l gate that gives them the vibrant color. a process called coral bleaching, disrupting ecosystems across the world. now scientists say they might have found a way to mitigate it by bolstering soft corals, the lesson known and under studied cousin of the hot reefs. they provide tons of food and shelter for other species. they grow really quickly, so they're good at re colonizing after a major disturbance such as like a big cyclone or a bleaching event. i'm and honestly they're just beautiful and they deserve all the research that hartwell's yet. they also appear to be more resilient to coral

bleaching marine sciences rosie steinbeck's. as some of the soft corals auto chorus didn't respond physically to marine heat place. that means there's a chance that the already loss rece can recover through those species. but it doesn't mean octo chorus a less endanger it, even though they did in general better than the heart quarrels. when they finally did bleach, it was catastrophic. i mean, they were literally peeling off the rocks. so even though they do better at 1st, when things start going wrong, they go wrong very, very quickly. a crust world, south asia, the pacific, and australia have most the largest proportions of both soft and hot coral reefs due to climate change. in addition to pollution and overfishing specialized in soft corals, steinberg and other scientists have developed a way to monitor to health of 2 corals. but she says to problem leads to be tackled

from its root, restoring reefs, and regenerating reefs is not gonna be the way we save them the way we save them is producing carbon dioxide emissions. and then when those emissions are gone and we have all these techniques restoration, then we'll be able to bring them back. so the vibrance under the sea can as well be preserved. all right, well of next find out if robot dogs could soon replace real pats our technology series shift is up next and don't forget you can keep up. did i know the latest news on our website, dw, dot com or follow us on social media? i'm part of the, the, as in britain garcia's here in people in trucks injured when trying to flee the city center more and more refugees are being turned away at the border families on the taxi, syria for the.
