corresponded tanya claim in bethlehem. what stood out for you from this meeting between abbas and a biden. well, i think if you could save some of the pictures we've been seeing here, it was a warm meeting and been both of them talked and afterwards to the past sir mister abbas said, posting in president mahmoud abbas emphasized that the time is now after so many years for creating a palestinian state, and he urged the president of the united states to help and to form a credible political framework and to come back her somehow to some kind of negotiations for from the u. s. presidential biden. as we heard in the statement, he emphasized the need for a 2 state solution. and i think a, you also acknowledge, you know, the difficulties that people have to live here,
2:04 pm
living under an occupation here in the west bank. the restrictions are of movement the day to day difficulties or that they're faced. but they also, he also said that the ground is not yet right for new negotiation. so that is not so encouraging. of course for people yet to hear instead that you as soon president pledge to hell than the day to day life, as you said, you know, are a more financial aid as well as economic aid. some gestures, for example, upgrading, you know, the more by a network to come 3, g to 4 g that are certainly is as these are some relief measures. but of course, it's a bit lacking, you know, the broader picture of putting back a political framework. and also what stood out of course in this press conference is the palestinian colleagues or journalist colleagues left a, an empty chair there with a picture of sharina, butler, an american palestinian, a journalist for al jazeera. she was killed by covering israeli military in the
2:05 pm
occupied west bank. and yes, president joe biden acknowledged that he has described her death as an enormous loss. and he said that her legacy, he hopes that her legacy will continue to inspire other younger generations. but more importantly, he also said that the investigation to an on needs to be ongoing. that's what many people pressing for for accountability for this death. tanya, can you tell me about biden's next? stop saudi arabia. what? what can we expect from that last stop growth? his tour of the middle east, his turbine is now in his way and he left a bethlehem and he will be going back to ben gory on apple. and then he will be flying directly up from tel aviv a, to a saudi arabia. he himself said, you know, it's a 1st for you as president a to fly directly to saudi arabia, israel and
2:06 pm
a saudi river. they don't have to play matic relations, but is we're puts it very much hope on that saying, you know, their hope this is a kind of small step. an opening to normalizing ties, at some point with saudi arabia to biden, will take part there in as the as summit of the gulf corporation council, a plus 3, as it's called several regional leaders. they're talking about mainly all production energy, food security, the fall out of the war in ukraine are also, but it will be also, i think, more of his controversial part of this, or visit here to the region. he has been criticized back home for going to saudi arabia, basically because during the presidential election campaign he had pledged to make a saudi arabia, a pariah over the killing of saudi, a journalist, demarco, georgia, and it's human vice records. so i think back home at osi in the region, people will be looking very closely how this visit was going. there are correspond,
2:07 pm
i'm a thank you very much to your analysis. she lank as prime minister on is what for him. a singer has been sworn in as acting president. it comes after formerly to go to buy a roger puncture officially resigned off to flee the country. for months, sri lankan se have been demanding the removal of roger puncher who they blame for the country. severe economic crisis. huh. on the streets, asked re lanka. people celebrate after hearing the country's president has resigned . they say this is a triumph for democracy. daughter is a huge ricky mist rather here more than 3 months. and i would like to say like, it's this, i mean, at this moment i feel is that a good lesson for all caught up at 4 digits, inter lanka, yasser, extremely happy for us because we love to be god all about it. and we always the most marvel browser in the gandhi,
2:08 pm
i'll be sure to be both policy ex extremely heavy. but it was president, got a buyer, roger pox fletcher lanka to the mall devi, ending up in singapore before emailing his official resignation to longer harassing months of anti government protests with people storming government buildings and taking over heavily guarded compounds. many a frustrated with the worsening political and economic crisis that's caused food and fuel shortages. getting day a day earlier, protesters entered the prime minister's office. the man who they worry, we'll take over the country. some occupied the sitting areas, and others took selfies. the army has been brought in to restore law and order after prime minister ronelle vikram, a singer. now the acting president, called for a state of emergency demonstrate as have agreed to vacate the
2:09 pm
occupied buildings, but many say they still don't has confidence in their leaders. oh yeah, got any, was that? oh, what have you done? oh, well, the president's resignation is a start. the protest to say they want a complete overhaul or sri lanka, leadership. a vow to continue to take to the streets until they believe there is real change. oliver, my eyes are south asia, corresponding for the german public broadcaster a r d. he told me how locals are reacting to the resignation of the president. i mean, yesterday, as i already mentioned, they were really happy when the message got through that they go to by roger pox. i resigned. there were like tears of joy, really the protest. her said that we finally reached our goal that he resigned, but the future as i already mentioned, there's really uncertain as well. there are not so many names circulating home of who might become the next president of c lanka. and people just told that it's
2:10 pm
going to be a name that is fresh and all that brings hold back to the people because people have been suffering here for weeks for month even. and they do need a fresh start in silica and because they hold the, the current leaders in the outgoing leaders as those responsible for driving the country into an economic crisis, which is also become a, a humanitarian crisis, has in it totally. i mean, people are really suffering. we are shot with a lot of people here. people who are standing in gas and fuel lines for days, sir, for 7 days a night, sometimes they sit in their little auto and they just hope that they get like one liter of fuel and they didn't get it for a week. then they go to the black market, pay $6.00 times more than usual just to be able to drive around with the car. they can't really keep their families. families are struggling to put food on the table
2:11 pm
for their children. then medicine is rare. he and c lanka right now it's not being imported because they don't have any money to import these goods. so a life is very tough for the people. and so that's why had they have been protesting for such a long time for nearly 100 days. and finally, they need a change here. so all of or what, what sort of president or what would whoever the next president is have to do to change that situation. lots of stuff actually. and he needs to unite the people at 1st that he needs to give them the feeling that they all belong together and no matter where they come from. and he also needs to solve that huge debt problem because he like has over $15000000000.00 of debt. and there is no concept right now in the how to pay that money back. there is talked with the international monetary fund, but they have said they see nor no clear concept and how they want to pay it back.
2:12 pm
so there needs to be a solution for that as well. although my a thank you very much for giving us a clear picture of the situation. barry and sri lanka, russian missiles have struck 2 universities in nikolai of in southern ukraine. the head of the cities military administration released this footage of the strikes according to the regional governor at least 10 russian missiles hit early on friday morning. if no immediate reports of casualties as firefighters and rescue was going through the rumble. the city which is located near the strategically important black sea has come under increased russian fire in recent days. 5 people were killed in a strike there on wednesday. a correspondence manuel chance has more on the latest attack. well bound because i f is a really closer to the front line. in fact, it is also a front line. micheler f itself is not occupied yet, but the region around it, or there's a parts of it that are occupied by the russian army by pro separatist groups as
2:13 pm
well. and did city is cynthia under basically constant shelling, tell me size. early this morning they fell between other buildings. they fell on to universities. we dont have an estimated as to how many people have been injured at least 2 people have been injured, but we do not know more about are possible other casualties. but these kind of attack, especially in the southern pars and in the eastern part of ukraine, has become a daily, has happened on a daily basis. now how od ukrainians, coping with this situation, when you say this sort of stuff is happening on a daily basis? well, you know, as much as you can see, a form of resilience may encounter, for example, to air red alarms. yesterday here and here we had a series of arid alarms, which lasted one of them for several hours. another one for 10 minutes. and you can
2:14 pm
see people industries, you know, they just stand to their everyday life day. they are very resilient on that account . however, when we get the news that we got yesterday from vanessa, or with thousands of people killed in a residential area by and by shelling those news really affects people. when it says a place, you know, where a lot of people, even cuba, her, but also people are from her houston ukraine sense their family because they thought he was safer and went places that are away from their frontline, are being hit, as is the case very very regularly. well people here really feel that there's nowhere save all around country. ah, there are reports the in the mean time that the russian parliament's been re cold from holiday for an extraordinary sessions. you consider unspecified government initiatives. it is that the war and ukraine that they're going to be talking about we can safely assume that the war in ukraine know will be something that will come
2:15 pm
up during this extraordinary session ever. me, but it is no, no not to give too much of a head start to the poly amends when it comes to what is going to be discussed. but we also know that, you know, the vast majority of the russian parliament supports of letting me puddings initiatives when he comes to the war in ukraine. we could think about the discussion of a possible referendum in occupied territories when he comes to their annexation, or perhaps even their annexation, their facto will be, discuss it is something we'll find out for me later today. d, w. m l welsh us in the ukrainian capital, thank you. will the effects of the war a being felt across the globe? ukraine is a major exporter of grain. bond rushes invasion means stocks of wheat and corn can't leave. grand shortages of pushing up prices threatening food security in many parts of the world, including africa. this next report from seneca was produced by frank public tv. news ships from russia or ukraine have all but disappeared from african ports. they
2:16 pm
were a common site here before the war, but now they no longer supply the continent with grain. other countries have taken up the slack. this cargo ship loaded with wheat is arriving from argentina, but down is not enough. the people of senegal and other countries on the continent, fear that prices will sor, how this will, how much the small one is $0.15 the other $0.30. here, almost half of the population lives below the poverty line. so every penny is counted. wow, i'm the if the price of bread is raised again, it will be very difficult for a sandwich sellers because we already have high prices. the goods are already very expensive. to day, a ton of wheat costs more than $450.00 euros. this is twice as much as last here. for the moment, the state of cynical pays the difference. this makes it possible to freeze the
2:17 pm
price of flour and bread. but this sudden increase worries. the miller's was older, i get to sit together to day, the senegalese baguette is subsidized by the state in the same way as it is, and many north african countries, egypt, tunisia, and morocco. but the question is, until when it is there not a risk that we will be caught up by the reality of prices. so that's the big question. so some bakers are trying to find solutions at their level. i'm, i do gay, for example, has already changed his recipes lou about me. this is millet, you take the flour and mix it altogether. over lemonade, in his establishment. he trains his apprentices to make bread with products that are a 100 percent from synagogue. who is it, me? luck. we must reduce the amount of wheel imported in the law and replace it with our own serials you. if you go to the coach while there's man young there, bananas and sweet potatoes in nigeria, the same thing. oh, this, that a,
2:18 pm
all these countries there serials that can make bread, but local grain is more expensive than imported. wheat and financial support from the state is needed. if nothing changes with the increase in the price of wheat, the un announces that within the next few months, more than $40000000.00 people could be lacking food in west and central africa. a court here in germany has convicted a german soldier of planning a far right terrorist attack. it sentenced the officer to 5 and a half years in prison. the buddhist bailiff tenant that a double life posing as a syrian asylum seeker, prosecutors say he intended to pass off an attack on all makers as an act of terrorism, committed by a refugee. the case shines a light on fire right extremism in the german military coup. as it were for the german military. he was sent to our officers training at a french academy,
2:19 pm
the french military academy. and when he wrote his master's thesis there it turned out to be a right wing pamphlet or fry a right wing treaties says, such of a kind that the french people said if he was they officer, they would dismiss him. the germans, in fact, gave him a 2nd chance and he could rewrite his master's thesis and he was re integrated into the german, the german army, and sent to an elite battalion in france. about then in 5 years ago, 2017. he was caught in vienna where he had hidden a pistol in the airport in vienna. and when he was trying to retrieve his pistol, he was arrested. and after that the whole thing unravels. it turned out that he had established a 2nd identity for himself, posing as a syrian refugee, and in fact had been given asylum aid by the german state as a syrian refugee, while at the same time still being an officer in the german army. and then it
2:20 pm
turned out that he had a context to various right wing networks within the german army. and that's what led to the prosecution. so the officer get any close to get close at all to actually carrying out his plans. he did spy on he did, sir, to check on details of the life and offices and so on, of a woman who is engaged in anti racist or an anti racist or organization and an organization fighting against anti semitism. this was in berlin and he went to berlin and fact to spy on her. but she did not get so far that an actual date or an actual attack or whatever was planned. but that is not really over much import for the sentence. the sentence is based on a section of the law with which says, if you can prove the intent, whether or not the attack has is going to happen or is
2:21 pm
a is about to happen. if you can prove the intent, then that will lead to a conviction, and that was the case here. as want in frankfurt. thank you. ok, has a quick look at some other stories making use. italy is in a political crisis. after private is the mario drank these resignation, was rejected by the president. he said he would step down after a coalition. part of the 5 star movement refused to back a government built drug. he survived the confidence vogue despite the rebellion, but said the coalition backing his government no longer exists. the european commission is taking hungry to court over a controversial l g b t q law law passed last month, band school material that's seen as promoting homosexuality or gender change the government of prime minister victor or been justified the measure as preventing child abuse a health warning from the global weather agency that w m. o says a heat wave spreading across europe is likely to worst in air pollution. southern
2:22 pm
parts of the continent have been sweltering in temperatures above 40 degrees celsius, with extreme temperatures likely to become more common due to climate change. one of spain's biggest cities is changing the way it deals with it's summer weather forecasts. seville in southern spain is no stranger to heat. soon, residents will become even more familiar with scorching weather patterns. heat waves here ought to be named just as storms are elsewhere. the city wants to draw attention to the life threatening danger of extreme temperatures driven by climate change. and we believe that giving this phenomenon, giving these heat waves a name and a category is the best way for us to do that. and when a heat wave in our methodology reaches a category 3, it receives a name, a category 3 heat wave mains very high health risk to the entire population. the
2:23 pm
current conditions in spain are ranked as category too. but even that's enough to exacerbate wild fires burning across the country. fire cruise, fear worse is yet to come. look at my mouth, but what worries us most to day is a southern wind that can move the fire and the rise in temperatures that we are suffering this week. more fires a raging across europe, south, including in portugal, france, croatia, italy and greece. the current hate wave is expected to expand across more countries . though so far unnamed, it won't go unnoticed. ever wondered if all that hammering doesn't give woodpeckers a headache. scientists used to believe the bird skull could absorb the impact, but a study in belgium reveal something else. woodpeckers smacked their heads against trees and forests the wild over when the bird hm. as it
2:24 pm
a tree with its beak experience has a force that's more than 10 times the 4th. that would give a human concussion. it doesn't seem to bother the birds, but evidence to show how they cope is scant. we went to different sewage across europe with high speed camera. and we filmed these birds during backing. the scientist fan slowed down the films and analyzed how different parts of the had moved in relation to each other. the almost gather had they sell it by looking at these videos. so it's a logic response to think. yeah, they must have some kind of al metal or an airbag thanks to their brains. but the more you think about it, do the less it makes sense for these birds. if woodpeckers heads cushion the blow from the tree would make the head butting less effective. so rather than absorb the shock of the impact, the birds had acts like
2:25 pm
a stiff hammer and resist said. the bad, small size and small brain help it cope with the impact. the smaller the brain, the lower the load. to resist the shock woodpecker skulls have spongy bones which are light but very strong in their skull. the space that contains the fluids surrounding the brain and spinal cord is small to prevent damage from the fluid sloshing around. one theory suggests. veins in the buds, neck may be compressed, so the brain sit tight to in the skull. the suppose it shock absorbing qualities of the woodpecker skull has in spite protective materials and helmet design. but these newly discovered rigid qualities could now lead to a new generation of materials resistant to stress. i out at a reminder of our top story, u. s. president joe biden has reaffirmed his support for a 2 state solution between israel and the palestinians. but he adds the conditions of the ground and not yet ripe to restart peace toltz. he's been speaking to the

auntie w. o. sometimes the big she's, she's right out at u. t. the highlights. freshly written book every week, snuck them up. i am going to go. yeah, here in iowa, sexual assault survivor, a filipino ledger delay, agile. for those of us, can we shoot, speak up them to step up and say the truth. how women in asia are back. i can see is excusable. don't be afraid to make mistakes. nothing can soften. that
2:29 pm
is that you're right. i actually the feeling founder. so probably take the job. yeah. this new her women ninja sees into this week with the sun warms up and likes up our planet. ultimately it's what makes life on earth possible but it's been getting hotter for decades now as a result of climate change driven by human activity. india and pakistan recently experienced a record breaking heat wave. wet temperatures reached 50 degrees celsius. global climate change is also increasing u. v. levels. how to sunlight and heat effect all bodies. and how can.
