going to bio roger pasha could be short lived. russia targets southern ukraine. several miss house trying to universities and because i of the point city has come under heavy bombardment in recent days. and the court said it says a german soldier to 5 and a half. he is in prison for plotting a 5 bright terror attack. ah, i've been visible and welcome you, as president joe biden is taking off for saudi arabia to attend a summit of arab leaders. bible hall talks with saudi crown prince. muhammad did summon, in a highly anticipated meeting as a branch, the dental candidate. he bowed to treat the saudis as a pariah for the human rights re quote. it's the next stop on his middle east trip after visiting israel and the palestinian territories. he restated his support for a 2 state solution for israel and the palestinians,

but added that the ground is not ripe to brief start peace talks. let's listen into what biden had to say earlier. the post, the palestinian people are hurting. now. you feel you can just feeling your grief and frustration in united states. we can feel it, but we've never give up on the work piece. you know, there must be a political arises that the palestinian people can actually see or at least feel we, carroll, our hopelessness to seal away the future that show money have worked toward for so long. sure. even if the ground is not right at this moment, to restart negotiations, the united states and my administration will not give up on trying to bring the problem is israelis and both sides closures. that's bringing al, corresponded rebecca written in israel,

has biden's visit to his rather the palestinian territories prompted any progress and relations well, the short answer to that ben is unfortunately for everyone know that we didn't see any progress on that at all. but none was really expected on this trip. we did obviously this morning see, president biden meeting, the palestinian laid a map. what about and that was very symbolic. it was sort of a re connection of the relationship between the u. s. and the palestinians, if you will severely damaged even save it under the trump administration. and we saw a commitment to funding that was also caught under the trump administration and even more announcements of funding, particularly when to the palisade hospital system. we saw, you know, other financial assistance measures. we saw the commitment to the rolling out of a for g network across the west bank and, and other things that will help to make the palestinians life easier. but of course disappointment from the palestinian authority and palestinians themselves saying that they feel really abandoned,

that is not enough is being done to push their course to push their agenda in terms of a paste process disappointment from on all sides. certainly no real movement on that, but a symbolic meeting. none the less buttons heading to saudi arabia, as i just mentioned before. what can we expect from that? that's right. then we just actually sold the presidential chop. a convoy come over head a short while ago. he's now been green just about to take off or taking off as we speak. he's going to be the 1st you as president to make this journey from israel to saudi arabia, which is something that was unimaginable even just a few months ago. suddenly, a few years ago, so he's going there. it's definitely the most controversial leg of the visit. not, not least of all because of the quest of human rights record of saudi arabia. and you know, on the campaign trail when the president biden, with campaigning for his presidency, he called saudi arabia and the crown prince mohammed, ben selman pariahs,

the involvement in the killing of journalists, malika shot. so it being coming a lot of flack abroad at home for this visit, but he's going to try and shore up better relations between middle eastern states. he's going to be meeting tomorrow with the gcc countries plus 3 to discuss regional alliances. he's also going to be trying to take, you know, trying to grease the real towards the defense alliance here in the region. the defense alliance against iran, which is something that israeli certainly pushing for and has been discussing with saudi arabia for some, some time. and hope that this visit by president bond will bring those talks out of the shadows and into the open and sort of push forward to more of a defense and cooperation in this region. but it is controversial. he's got domestic issues, of course, as well on the agenda, with oil prices soaring with the war, russia, the invasion of ukraine. and we're seeing energy costs rise across the world. and

he's trying to take home to his domestic audience. a better price at the bowels of rebecca or it is in jerusalem. thank you very much for the analysis. the search for a new leader begins in sri lanka, as former presidents go to buy a roger puncture officially resign south to fling the country prime minister running with crim a singer who was sworn in as acting president has been nominated by the ruling party to stand in the elections, to lincoln's now waiting for parliament to convene on july 20th to appoint the new president. ronald grimacing. he has been sworn in as she longed cause acting president. but he might not stay in office for long. in a special statement, he promised to restore law in order to crack down on those he called insurgence. if our game or are they need the yasamin stop? it's okay. i will take immediate steps to establish the rule of law and peace in the country. academia i recognize the right to peacefully protest. lambert,

there's really uncertain as well. there are not so many names circulating her mom who might become the next president of c lanka. and people just told that it's 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. hasn't 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 and night, sometimes they sit in their little ot all 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 at $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 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 life is very tough for the people. and 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 her 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's no concept right now in the how to pay that money back. there is talks with the international monetary fund,

but they have said they see nor no clear concept and how they want to pay it back. 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, russia missiles have struck 2 universities in mich life 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. at least 2 people will reported injured as 5 fight his and rescues kind through the rubble. the city which is located near the strategically important black sea has become a, has come under increase russian fire in recent days. 5 people were killed in a strike there on wednesday. a corresponded mamma. shots has more of the latest attack. well bound because i f is a really closer to the front line. in fact, it is also a front line. nikolai 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 well. and did, city is cynthia under basically constant shelling tend me sighs early this morning . they fell out between other buildings. they fell on to universities. we dont have an estimate 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 part and in the eastern part of ukraine, has become a daily, or has happened on a daily basis. now, how are you craniums coping with this situation? when you say this sort of stuff is happening based? well, you know, as much as you can see, a form of resilience may incomes, for example, to air red alarms. yesterday. hearing here if we had

a series of air red alarms, which lasted one of them for several hours, another one for 10 minutes and you can see people in the streets, you know, they just enter 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, you know, 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 eastern ukraine sense their family because they thought it was safer. and when place is that are away from their frontline, are being hit, as is the case very, very regularly. well, people here really feel that there's no way save all around the country. there are reports the in the made side that the russian parliament's been recalled from holiday for an extraordinary sessions, who consider unspecified government initiatives. it is that the war in ukraine that

they're going to be talking about we can safely assume that the war in ukraine a will be something that will come up during these extraordinary session over me. but it is no, no, not to give too much of a had thought to the parliament when it comes to wants is going to be discussed. but we also know that, you know, the vast majority of the russian parliament supports vladimir putin initiative when he come 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 defacto will be discussed. it is something with find out for me later today did hobbies emma welsh, us in the ukrainian capital. thank you. the effects of the war being felt across the globe. ukraine is a major exporter of grain, but russia's invasion, main stocks of wheat and corn can't leave the country. shortages of pushing up

prices threatening food security in many parts of the world, including africa, is next report from senegal was produced by french public tv. no ships from russia or ukraine have all but disappeared from african ports. they 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, oh this will, how much the small one is $0.15 the other $0.30 a year, almost half of the population lives below the poverty line either so every penny is counted. wow, i'm then getting 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 that today

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 price of flour and bread. but this sudden increase worries. the miller's was old read of, i guess, cynthia, today the senegalese bagget is subsidized by the state in the same way as it is in many north african countries, egypt, denisia, 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 a do gay, for example, has already changed his recipes, knew about me. this is millet, you take the flower and mix it altogether. overly miller 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 lumber and replace it with our own serials. you well if you go to the cookie while there's man young there, bananas and sweet potatoes in nigeria, the same thing with all these countries. they're 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. is a quick look now at some other stories making use around the world. finance ministers of the g 20 group of nations are gathering in barley for a summit, overshadowed by the war in ukraine. host, indonesia has called for a consensus on taxing sore and global food and fuel prices. the foreign ministers of both russia and ukraine are expected to address the summit online. the european commission is taking hungry to court over a controversial as g,

a half years in prison. the buddhist bailiff tenant led a double life posing as a syrian asylum seeker. prosecutors say he intended to pass off an attack on lawmakers as an act of terrorism, committed by a refugee. the case shines. a light on the far right extremism in the german military. a corresponded has planned to, is that the court in frankfort? i asked him for more details about the verdict. the crucial part about the verdict is that this is an active german officer from the german army. you has now been convicted of having planned a act of violence against the vets that could have been in danger. a danger to the security of the state court to acknowledge that the plans that he heard were not so far developed that there could actually be put into action. give us a little more background on this case since it's a very curious case. one has to say this man franco, a was an elite soldier,

and he was regarded as a great hope, as it were, of the german military. he was sent to a officer's training at a french academy, the french military academy. and when he wrote his master's thesis there, it turned out to be a right wing pamphlet for a right wing treaties as 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 unraveled. 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 turned out that he had contacts to various right wing networks within the german army. and that's what led to the prosecution. so was it 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 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

a 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, 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. a health warning from the global weather agency. the w. n. o says a heat wave spreading across europe is likely to worse and air pollution. southern 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 its 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 are 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. we believe that giving this phenomenon, given 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 means very high health risk to the entire population. the 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 today 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. some size hind ever wondered if all that hammering doesn't give woodpeckers a headache. scientists used to believe the birds scowl could absorb the impact, but of study and belgium reveals something else different woodpeckers, smack their heads against trees in forests, the wild over when the bud hm. as it a tree with its beak experience is a force that's more than 10 times the force 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 scientists and slowed down the films and analyzed how different parts of the had

moved in relation to each other. the almost get a headache or cell by looking at the videos. so it's a logic response to think. yeah, they must have some kind of a helmet. finally, africa's fastest man has been forced to miss the world championships in the us. after failing to obtain the necessary visa required in order to travel canyon sprinter, ferdinand amandola was due to compete in the 100 meters heats in oregon today, but lost his race against time to secure that u. s. visa on gala is one of a number of canyon athletes who suffered the fate, but is the most high profile of the absentees at the championships. watching dw news life from berlin, se with us for news asia with melissa chat. and remember, you can get more news at our website, d,
