[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah, this is dw news coming to you live from berlin, a dark day ahead for britain's forest johnson, the prime minister of faces a hostile parliament and renewed pressure to resign. talk ministers have quit after

johnston was accused of lying. also coming up ukraine officials urge all residents have done that to evacuate as russian forces advance missiles calls misery across the eastern region with 2 dead in an attack on a market and activists facing execution in beyond law. too prominent pro democracy campaigners are on death row. we look at how they're hopeful uprising against the military hunter, turned into a wave of death. ah . hello, i'm terry martin. thanks for joining us. british prime minister boris johnson is under renewed pressure to resign after 2 senior ministers quit his cabinet, citing a lack of competence in his leadership. johnson is expected to face questions in

parliament today over whether he lied about his knowledge, sexual assault allegations, against a senior conservative party figure. it's only been weeks since he survived a boat of confidence in parliament boris johnson on his way to deal with yet another crisis. this 1 may be the most serious challenge to his leadership. yet shortly after this cabinet meeting, 2 of his senior ministers resigned. chance levy she soon ack scene here to the right of the prime minister holds the 2nd most important government position after the prime minister himself recovery. he treated the public rightly expect government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously. i believe these standards are worth fighting for, and that is why i am resigning. health minister sergeant jarvis echoed his words. gavin, keep saying i can no longer continue his role in good conscience. you believe the prime minister forgot?

the resignations came after boris johnson admitted he had made a bad mistake by giving conservative m p. chris pincher, a key parliamentary position despite knowing that allegations of sexual misconduct had been made against him. thanks it. yes, i think it was a mistake and i apologize for a void. i think in hindsight, it was the wrong thing to do. i apologize. everybody's been a badly affected by it, but the damage had already been done after the shock resignation on tuesday evening . other members of johnson's cabinet were seen coming and going from downing street . they are still backing him, at least for now. nadeem, somehow he was quickly appointed the new chancellor, the health minister position went to former chief of staff, steve barkley, a policy as johnson survived devoted confidence a month ago. another vote can be held for

a year. johnson has managed to ride out many a storm. now polls suggest a majority of britons want him out. they will have to see whether this time there is enough pressure from within his own party to force him to step down. and i'm joined now by journalist robert hutton in london. robert key ministers are abandoning boris johnson. multiple scandals are weighing on his government. could this finally be the straw that breaks the camel's back? that is the question everyone was asking and i still don't know the answer. he survived so much and his willingness to carry on going off to the point at which a lot of people would have said, i'm just gonna throw in the towel. i shouldn't be underestimated. so one level, if you said to me, the chance the most important official and the government has resigned. another big figures, not javert, who's a former chancellor has resigned on paper. certainly it looks like, oh,

well that's it. and talking to conservator and he's last night they were saying this is the end. on the other hand, or is johnson, he's willing to just kind of ignore them and just going to carry on. i want to, he is remarkably resilient still. where do things go from here? another confidence both in the house of commons apparently isn't possible at this point given current parliamentary rules. what is conservative policy. ready rules say you can't have a confidence vote 12 within 12 months of the last one. but the really important thing about those rules is, is that they're not, they're not fixed. and they can change. and he really knows quite where they're written down. and the way that they got really, teresa may was by saying to if you don't go we will change the rules and us and she said, okay, right. the game is up. i think that wouldn't work regard shops. i think they would actually has changed the rules, but there is an election next week to the committee that controls the rules. and so next week selection committee, which is this is a little bit sorry, this is

a bit we had in detail if nothing has happened before, then that will definitely be a moment then. okay, but you say there is a precedent even without changing those rules with theresa may are there any potential i had longer? ok, are there any potential successors for prime minister or for least leader of the conservative party? impossible for taking over from morris johnson in, in this mix. well, they're all potential successes that want to be one of the, one of the problems to the content getting rid of him is they can't, there isn't to be a single person who should be in place instead of him. i think she's doing that very clearly. he says chances and part of resigning last night may have been an effort to position himself better. i the foreign sex release drop. i mean you could literally list the entire cabinet. they're all sitting there thinking well i feel better than he does. so there is also show you kind of what they were the sure see

what they well the reason is a stand out obviously that's the man or woman that we've got to have person. okay, robert, thank you so much. that was journalist robert hutton, there in london now to the war and ukraine were, officials have urged some 350000 residents of the eastern doughnuts region to evacuate. the next governor says there is now no safe place as russian forces step up their attacks. on tuesday, russian missile struck a market in the city of yonge. official said, 2 people were killed there. warning the next report contains graphic images. these are they got hid, remains of a market in slow vianza market go is tried to shelter, but the city has been hit by a deadly bombardment. in recent days. local police claim russian forces used cluster bombs, which

a band under international law. we heard people screaming, but we stayed put until the shelling ended. you know, it's a genocide to make people fear, so they run away. russia controls the entire lu, hands, gray gen their offensive has now turned westward to don, ask together the 2 regions make up ukraine's industrial hot land and moscow has made their capture a key objective of the war. recent attacks have been largely focused on chromatography and slow of janski's cities, which ukrainian officials say house critical infrastructure for the region. some beautiful excuse jobs there is more showing and that showing was very chaotic. dr. 2 through, they do not have a specific target for their attacks,

such as military infrastructure or defense positions, but only to destroy civilian infrastructure. in fossil to over one and a half 1000000 people lived in donalds before the war. the regions governor is now urging the remaining $350000.00 to flee. one of the biggest calls to evacuate since the february invasion. he says the relentless shelling has left nowhere safe in dannetta. or for more, we can now talk to our correspondent nick conley and cheer. nick russia seems to be accelerating its advance in the dawn bass region. it took russia just from what took them a matter weeks to ah, to conquer subordinates. but the city of lisa chunks right next door they, they took that in just a matter of days is the tide turning in moscow's favor. was definitely worried in

ukraine. that in terms of artillery, in terms of guns and boots on the ground, russia is winning this, that the kind of early successes of the spring when you things able to use agile, they can use western weapons quite effective in like more than a gorilla campaign. again, rushing lines that was spread out over hundreds and hundreds of kilometers, but now wherever she is focusing on it, it's about 20. so it's going to the front line in the don't back that discrepancy in terms of resource to really make me feel felt questions like i just not reaching your brain and front lines past enough. we've seen properties for some countries which are still materialized. 16 different. so it's been made snake island by artillery rock. it also recommend in the us. but now ukraine has to handle the systems which do give it the voltage, the ability to get worse and target from a safe distance. and i think, you know, you're getting september, but it's western allies, friends in europe and north america,

just don't care how intense the campaign is. and by the time they see the results of ukraine being outcome to late, the bureaucratic mechanism and the timelines is getting supplies to the soldiers. now come to us to really risk losing these towns and having to take them back in the future with much higher last they would have if they'd be able to stop the worst ukrainian officials, nick, or calling on the estimated $300000.00 civilians still left and the government controlled parts of dentist to evacuate. are those calls for evacuation? being heated lots people have already gone and so we different estimate. but on average, people seem to think that 2 thirds of the pre war population has already left. some are gone for the west ukraine or before somebody just moved within ukraine to region, slightly further away from the front lines. but we have seen time and time again the where most civilians and especially people with fewer resources. older people

are very reluctant to leave at home until it's basically too late. time time again, sitting in, but also the people trying to help them lose their lives because they've just left it until they can hear the altima re fire from within a couple where they are. and then we've seen attempts to get people out in civilian cause, often by killed 16 attempts to organize these kind of evacuation corridors failing . and then people losing their lives up in an attempt now on the part of the game to prevent that happening again. but i think there's a lot of optimism, but for the people, especially those who have nowhere else to go and have no one there in that they're gonna be wanting cation of most, like i said, nick, thank you very much. are correspond nick connelly. they're in kim sketch up on some of the stories making headlines round the world to day. prosecutors in the us state of illinois have charged the suspected gunman in the june july 4th, parade, shootings with 7 counts of murder. police say the 22 year old shot at crowds from rooftop and had been planning the attack for weeks he was apprehended after fleeing

the scene. some 85000 people in sidney and the australian state of new south wales have either been ordered to evacuate their homes, or warns they might be asked to do to severe flooding. to rental reign has now eased, but high water levels still pose of danger. australia's prime minister said its evidence of the need for action on climate change. strong winds have fueled wild flyers in several parts of greece. a forest blaze west of athens force the evacuation of a village, as aircraft and hundreds of firefighters battled the flames. earlier fires burned olive groves near the agent site of delphi and force the evacuation of a beach hotel and search crews. se hopes of finding survivors are slim, but not entirely gone. following the collapse of the glacier in northern italy, 5 people remain missing after the incident with 7 people confirmed dead. thunderstorms,

warm temperatures have hampered rescue efforts. prime minister mario drug is linking the disaster to climate change. while unpredictable and extreme weather events have long been forecast by climate, scientists says the global warming sets in dw correspondence have been monitoring how the effects are being felt this summer across europe, from right here in germany to greece and spain. now imagine the heat wave that is $7.00 to $12.00 degrees celsius hotter than the usual ones and comes at an unusual time of year. that's exactly what happened here in spain in june. and yes, it's a sunny country, but this is not normal. and people suffered from it be it health wise, albeit while watching their country literally going up in flames. because there were several wildfires all over the country. the biggest 18 up 30000 hacked us of a natural reserve that has basically like half of the size of madrid. city trees

like this one here are being brought in as a savior because madrid is building a green belt around the city. this means basically that of trees are being planted in the gaps that are between already existing parks and forests. and this should help to bring down the temperatures a bit, up to 4 degrees, actually, and a planting half of a 1000000 trees. this should have an effect as an air condition and basically just a very gigantic one. i am here in the city of larissa in the middle of the greek mainland. one of the hottest regions of the country. lot of wooded areas around and the risk of wildfires is extremely high. what you see behind me is the beginning of a joint training workshop between greek and bulgarian firefighters after strategic problems in managing the disastrous wildfires last year. the idea now is not to wait until fires actually break out, but to prepare together and be more efficient in bed. ling, the wildfires when they come this dry earth is ever more common here in brandenburg in the northeast of germany,

not far from berlin. this area is generally dryer than most parts of central europe . and also the sandy soil makes it harder for it to absorb water. but climate change is making things worse. over the last few years, the region has been hit by drought. there has been less rain because of slow moving weather patterns, and the above average temperatures have made the earth dryer, making it even harder to store water. and this year things aren't looking up in june. brandenburg was the 2nd hardest states in germany, making life really hard for farmers and their crops. this farm and brandenburg is counting on regenerative agriculture to help it withstand route and soil erosion. regenerative agriculture is all about keeping the soil healthy and it does so with many different techniques at this farm. for example, they've implemented cover crops. these are crops that are planted directly onto the

soil and help keep it moist instead of just being harvested ins only that i volunteered in, in 3 weeks to plants will have grown about this high hot they will have lots of leaves will be well developed and they will shelter the soil from the sun. if we didn't do anything on the sun would just keep burning the soil and try it out all through. now, regenerative agriculture is not going to solve the problem of climate change, but it can help make farms like this one in brandenburg more resilient to heat and drought in the years to come off more now and joined by carl slowest. know he is head of climate science and impacts at climate analytics as an enjo, linking scientific policy and analysis in the field of climate change. thanks for being with us, sir. spain, greece, germany, heat, waves, droughts, wildfires. what goes through your mind, doctor slice,

and when you see these extreme weather patterns occurring with such frequency. unfortunately, i had to say, this is exactly what we had to expect. a lot of times it's warning or shooting a warning for the case. now that this is what the climate catastrophe is gonna look like. in fact, if you want to plan it by around 1.2 degrees in the 1900 century to the emissions of greenhouse gases. and now, which is probably the hottest, more than $100000.00. so never since human civilization has develop has to be taught. and this is how it looks like the climate catastrophe. in fact, is very much upon us and not only urgent x and can prevent the parts of spain and portugal, or the dr. they've been in a 1000 years. that's according to research published this week in the journal nature or science. what does that mean for people's lives, not just in the short term, but in the long term what we see there, and we do see similar effects across the globe is you see,

for the mental shifts in the come at the conditions as a result of global climate change and this regional context means basically this we did saw becoming or bolt. see at a more increasing test case, they might turn if we don't manage to prevent the best impact the change they might turn into. so we do see water shortage to be culturally impact with the various of you because it's going to impact that the risk of, of extinction, of, of native species and so on. eventually changing, mentally changing the regions and everything that you mentioned earlier that there's need for urgent change is europe doing what it should do in your opinion, to address the climate emergency european it's member states in particular the, the current you've been commission tries to put climate front and center of its agenda, at least at least rhetorically. the u. p. and union tries to increase our climate

action and was critical the case after 2030. and i think it's fair to say in this role is establishing a world or one of the world leadership roles and technical and change. that doesn't mean it's enough. and certainly not in response to recent developments, particularly rushman, beijing, ukraine, and increase. talk about gas revival r. this is totally contrary to what needs to be done. gases presented as a bitch fuel, but it's not a bridge to anywhere. it's a bridge to nowhere. it's a bridge to the climate catastrophe. dr. leitner. thank you very much for talking with this. that was car florida from climate analytics. thank you very much for having me. it's now been a year and a half since myanmar is military toppled the government led by anselm to cheap. the qu sparked huge protests which were met with mass arrests. the military hunter has now sentenced more than 100 people to death for opposing their rule. 2 of the most prominent face, eminent execution, is

a look at their activism and at hell. some are still protesting, despite the danger. ah, he brought by yet a member of parliament here with me on my popular movement and in the military. one town. he once worked closely with the democratically elected on san sushi, now herself in prison. last year's military could turn pale ziann to an actor whist . he helped organize protest against the hunter. botello. susie, we invite you all to come together and join us in a c, d. m. on a civil disobedience movement. tina walker is all alone. he called away. but the military brutally put down those protest it arrested hundreds of pro democracy activist and scent dance. dozens of them, including p. o z i taught to dead. he and long time actor disco. jimmy have been on

death row since january co. jimmy's activism goes back decades last year he was among the 1st call for a mass mobilization against the 2021 military coup. this is the time for the public to rise up in unity. so we need to start a movement of the people. a jammed up with me on my tv ran military images of both go jimmy and peel the i call, handcuffed with losses and veterans. the winter cleaned the finance dorothy and themselves be political analysts kim's, or when has no one called jimmy, since the 1918 kinsey himself was imprisoned, 11 years locked up from what i thought if he was just writing a notable. so i think in their thinking the hunter would like to make an example of these t. so have all, all the others would also take notes. is already bad situation in your mom. you know, the quite,

this is grown all out of proportion. offing the debt center will only make it worse . many young people in the matter still resisting the gene. some have gone underground. student leader non spoke to the w from an undisclosed location. jimmy was going to walk to all of our comrades were sentenced to death, including co, jimmy and sir thought until the imprison heroes who are still fighting against the hunter. when i would like to salute you all to know what to do, i threw until her comrades on our people get freedom. i'll continue to take part in this revolution. no matter what are we our revolution must prevail. who are we simply young gone youth activist hanford, banners protesting the different in the flash mob, just as quickly melted away,

worried the military. you would also come for them earlier i got this analysis from corresponded, aim in touch. so it's not absolutely clear why they're doing this. i'm, although it is seen as a significant ex escalation by many in the country. because although people happen killed in the streets and tara cation, this would be the 1st execution since 1988. and i think an important piece of context here is also that penalties in them are carried out by hangings. and they have been beg, blue, some images circulating in the country recently. the gallows in the prison being prepped and analysts have kind of looked at the motives and speculated that they might be in revenge for killing that the resistance forces have enacted on military forces or show power to their supporters, military supporters who have been getting killed, who have been sort of in the trenches as well as the country,

so to balls into war. and there's also the possibility that the hunter is threatening to carry out these 6 execution so that they, if they were to back away from these orders, it could look like they're compromising, even though they're actually not that many more pro democracy activists are on death row in me on more or more executions expected to follow these. assuming they're carried out it's really difficult to say, i think no one really knows right now if these executions will happen. but if that field does get broken, the, you know, over 3 decades long seal, i think we can expect to see more, especially since they are over a 150 people who have been sentenced since the coo and before the coo are the average annual sentencing was around 10 per year. what has become of the pro democracy movement in myanmar? so i think they're very different segments of the pro democracy movement,

although they are all pulling in the same direction. you have the civil service strength, which is still going quite strong. there's over a 100000 civil servants in the country who are currently on strike and not before the military hunter, mac. the armed opposition is also getting more organized and getting stronger here of daily battles in which the military is losing its members. i'm also here or alliances between groups are forming as well as the civilian parallel government um creating more allies and raising more money as the days gone. what about popular support for the military in the country a is that has that grown stronger over the past year? or is it diminishing it's difficult to say with absolute certainty, as you know, it's very difficult to get data in the country at the moment. but i think it's important to remember that the military had won less than 15 percent of the open seats in the 2020 election that they, you know,

of course decided to not on the results of arm. but you do see in the cases where they had cease fires with ethnic, are groups inside the country that many of these fires have fallen apart. and you also see, but many of their supporters are being much more white online as well as in the streets. and so, you know, people are at least less openly supportive of the military. and i think it's like quite likely that they've lost quite a large amount of support journalist aim and todd in bangkok. thank you very much. you're watching dw news close up is next. i'm terry martin. thanks for watching with
