[000:00:00;00] ah ah this is d, w is live from bird lead world leaders gather for climate talks here in the german capital as europe swell to this in the record heat, wife, wildfire bird across the mediterranean,

and hundreds die in the extreme heat. also on the program, visit, rushes gas monopoly may not deliver supplies to parts of europe. voices, news agencies have state control gas problem is blaming circumstances beyond its control volume in the landscape suspense, ukraine's chief prosecutor. and he's had a state security as hundreds are investigated for allegedly helping russia under damage report find systemic failures, preventive police in texas from stop in one of the worst school shootings in us history. ah, i'm fil gail. welcome to the program. a europe is feeling the likely effects of climate change aus more scorching heat sets him from the united kingdom to points further south temperatures

a forecast to approach or exceed 40 degrees celsius. hundreds of people have died in reco breaking conditions, which also stoking wildfire across several countries. like it's burning in france, spain, in portugal, italy, and in greece. for a week, wild fires have raged across southern europe. several firefighters have died in the line of duty, and thousands of residents have had to flee their homes. now, it isn't especially difficult summer. we are dealing with very considerable drought you to insufficient rainfall over the winter spring, and especially dry months of may. and we now have particularly high temperatures,

but there's another related threat sweeping the region. a heat wave that has already claimed hundreds of lives. temperatures have reached the mid forties for a week in some parts of southern europe. and weather experts say it's moving north to a place that's never before experienced heat like this. the united kingdom forecasters are predicting temperatures of 40 degrees in england where few homes can cope with these conditions. experts are warning that thousands could die, but authorities say there are steps people can take to protect themselves. drink plenty of water, stay out of the sun, and check on those at risk. at go to england, then they'd have been correspondent jack parrot is at the farm bra asha in the

south of the country. welcomed jack. i believe it's absolutely sweltering that fell. it is incredibly high. i actually thought it might get a little bit cooler as the day wore on, but i've just come back outside from the nicely air condition media center i have into the i don't the airfield here and it is boiling. they were saying during the air show a bit earlier today that the runway was probably about 52 degrees celsius here. and indeed, we know that at luton airport, north of london, they've, in fact, closed the rum way because it is so hot and they need to do some repairs there as well. we understand that today is the hottest day in wales in the country of wales ever on records. his records began about a 150 years ago that it's 35.3 degrees celsius in flinch up in north wales. right. so we're talking about these record breaking temperatures affecting a normally temperate country, like the u. k, which is just not usa misses it's,

it's melting runways and whatnot. and effect infrastructure yet is indeed in the government's vice. is that they should the people should not travel unless it is absolutely necessary. simply the trains, the buses, the transport infrastructure, but also people's homes and the buildings here in britain, on accustomed and not been built to withstand this kind of temperature. these kind of heat that we're going to see for 48 hour period is what the prediction of the met office, which is the, the weather, sort of scientific organization here in, in britain. that's what they're saying that simply people need to try and ease the pressure on those systems and also the health system because they're worried that for a lot of more vulnerable people, especially the elderly, that there could be real issues to do with this heat as well bearing in mind, people who just don't have ac on in their homes, like in other parts of europe where it does reach these temperatures more

frequently. right. so it does sound like some relief is inside but it doesn't need. yeah, like i said, it's 48 hour period. they predict that on wednesday, that will be about a 10 degrees celsius drop up from $3637.00, which is the temperature we've been seeing throughout the day even up as far as 40 degrees celsius. but they say that on wednesday will go down to somewhere near $26.00 degrees, which is a much more normal, is sort of temperature for this, for this part of the world at this time of year. phil, thank you that jack jack carrack at the farmer. air show in the south england. meanwhile, representatives from around 40 countries are here in berlin for 2 days of talk, same that addressing the climate crisis. damage to build trust before the next. are you in climate summit in egypt in november? un secretary general, antonio quoterush, criticize what he's described as the world's addiction to fossil fuels unborn. that the warming limits of one and

a half degrees celsius agreed. at the 2015 parish climate talks was slipping, even further out of reach, eisen, ocean heat and broken urine. all the meetings being hosted up by being co hosted by egyptian to president abdel fought, i'll see. see on german chancellor, olaf, for shots i asked of political correspondent, nina hossa, or what they'd been saying in their press conference will they cover lots of ground, obviously, but the egyptian president is here also to attend those climate summit preparation talks. and of course, both countries ever talked a lot about the implications of russia's war on ukraine, on their respective countries. the egypt is feeling rising food prices extremely heavily. it used to import lots of its wheat from ukraine, that's no longer there. and germany sees egypt as one of the partners with whom it can potentially and diversify its energy supply. so egypt today again stressed that

it would be willing to deliver gas to germany. and we're hearing that both countries are working on that very intensively. and that, that might happen very soon and tell us about the german government's proposed global protective umbrella against climate risks. well, it's all those technical terms that sound like a lot of words of it really. when you look at it, it comes down to the question of funding and how to get the structures in place. so that farmers, for example, that lose their crops because of climate change. how can they get money quickly so that they can buy new seeds quickly? so that they can then live of their own farming procedures and those procedures application for money, et cetera. and at this point in time, usually take years and this is time that these people simply don't have. so germany's hoping to essentially revamp the whole funding and financing procedure by november,

which is when the big important climate conference is taking place in egypt. and our german hope seems to dovetail quite neatly worthy gyptian president al theses of saying that african nations need more support to help us transition to green technologies answered, mitigate climate change while yeah, many people are now questioning whether rich countries are actually being serious about their pledge that the era of fossil fuels is over because, you know, germany is extending its coal power uses. it's also investing in l and d terminals, et cetera. so, germany's chancellor shots today said that germany and egypt will work together closely to develop green hydrogen. and this is something where we don't know the timeline yet, but it would have huge, significant, and symbolic character, of course, because it would mean that to both countries would send out this message that they're being serious. that sir, all this investment in gas is just

a temporary solution caused by russia are essentially, and that really, that transition into green technologies has started. i thank you for that to the politics are comfortable that need a hot russia's monopoly energy supply gas problem says it may not be able to guarantee gas applies to parts of europe. the reuters news agencies reporting that the state control energy john made the declaration early this month . the company says it may be unable to fulfill its supply obligations to the north stream one pipeline because of what it calls extraordinary circumstances. gas pumps already reduce deliveries to germany and germany. politicians have dismissed russian explanations as a political gambit. earlier i spoke with christy kane. he's an analyst and consultant in the oil and gas industry. i asked for his assessment of gas problems at declaration that it might have to may be forced to limit gas supplies when

i'm trying to analyze the reasons for this announcement by a gas pro, i see there are no technical. busy no commercial and no transportation problems of this company is the pipelines do exist just from can use in those 3, in the pipeline across bill or reducing all of them in the pipelines across the ukraine to deliver as much as your needs because of the reserves of gas in russia are quite satisfactory inside stores will to satisfy all the consumers in europe. and when i hear that guest room is referring to some well force majority circumstances. i think the only reason might be orders for president, for tim. and this is a declaration of war, a guess, war which wave. and so this flight goes up, we may not be able to do this. they haven't said we won't,

they've said we may not be able to. this is a threats. this is a way of try to coerce europe into, into rethinking its position. what, which way do you think it will actually go? i think the russian government and the russian president are going to, oh, well, to see the results of their blick mail or print. sure. or whatever you call it on your own, the european union, and then decide whether it's worse doing to stop all gas flows across the pipelines or that go into europe or maybe a resume, some of the contract so that the r a will long term contract. so to keep some of the consumers in europe satisfied, and i think it will take them maybe a week, maybe a 5 days to come to a final decision. right? because these things can cut both ways. county, i,

you talked about russia having lots of our gas reserves at the moment. that's money sitting there that it can sell and how, how deeply would it feel the financial and impact of losing of not supplying some of its biggest customers in york countries like germany and austria? well, the european, the market of guess is the gus burroughs. all the large market right now, and if for no gas goes to the european union from us, so then guess wrong will lose its earl as that gas exporter. almost wholly because it is not possible to replace these market initials in europe with something in asia or elsewhere. there is just one. yes,

pipeline that goes into china. and last year it transported only 10000000000 cubic meters of gas. while europe consumed 155000000000 cubic meters over s and guess a louis in this market didn't nish would mean and disaster for russia's main guess. monopoly and a disaster for the rest and economy as well. right? we'll see who blinks. first. mikaela critic and an oil and gas analysts. thank you so much. thank you. to stick with some more stories making headlines around the world. the european union has signed a deal to double natural gas imports from azerbaijan, as a block steps up efforts to find non russian energy suppliers. russia's opponent. so most goes increasingly using natural gas as a weapon against the e. u foreign ministers of agree to further 500000000 euros in military aid to ukraine. their meeting in brussels to discuss a further timing of sanctions against russia. ministers,

a close to an agreement to ban imports of russian gold, which is moscow. second biggest export after energy ghana has confirmed its 1st cases of the highly infectious marburg. virus. 2 people have died after becoming infected dozens or in quarantine as no treatment for marburg, which is part of the same virus family as a bone. as the war in ukraine and presenters, lensky has removed 2 top officials during an investigation into alleged collaboration with russian occupying forces. more than 650 cases of treason are being looked into at agencies, run by the chief prosecutor and by the head of state security, or saw them on the door in his nightly address to the nation. president vladimir lensky delivered a bombshell or 2 of its most trusted official suspended for failing to weed. our collaborators. hundreds of subordinates charged with treason, but he monthly such an array of crimes against the foundations of the states

national security and the links recorded between ukrainian security forces officials and rushing special services raises very serious question was about their respective leaders. you elizabeth bang w. believe me, good evening, each of these questions will receive a proper response knowledgeable lead. today, i have taken the decision to dismiss the prosecutor general and the head of the ukrainian security service. all fooling are always horrible, but by google, great. even by can of a childhood friend of the lensky headed the s b. u. ukraine's powerful state security service. hearing of an antique tova was serving as the country's prosecutor general. she led the investigation into russian war crimes that followed from the atrocities in places like boucher and your pin. ukraine has long suffered from russian infiltration of his state apparatus. since the start of the invasion, politicians, officials, and ordinary members of the public,

i've been arrested on suspicion of being spies of sabotage. this latest crackdown is the most severe, yet hinting at the scale of the problem with russia targeting ukrainian cities on a daily basis. the fear of russia's 5th column is ever present. the war new cries, taking a huge psychological toll on the population. the w's nick spicer visited the treatment center outside the capital key if that helps us soldiers recover from trauma, wallace, or rifleman, alexi shift jenko work in construction before the russian invasion. within weeks he was on the front lines in the east, under constant massive artillery fire. he says he would fall to the ground for cover take out his phone. and amid the deafening blast swipe to a photo of daniel. his 7 year old boy, back in the capital, the null as there was though, is for the lose of what was going to school. i looked at my son before going to bed and understood that if the russian soldiers were not stopped where i was, they could reach key again was little wooden. what is that,

what i thought of my boy and asked myself, will some one else raised? my son is it? paula's wallace loanable will never love a looks. he didn't want to go into details, but we'll say he suffered a concussion and had a nervous breakdown. he is one of a 150 patients of the rehabilitation center who's location we were asked to keep secret, so it wouldn't be targeted. some supper from post traumatic stress, a psychological problem, and others from traumatic brain injuries damage which can be caused by the blast. ways of explosions, symptoms for both include suicidal thoughts, depression insomnia, to anger articles. a door slam or firecracker can trigger the terrifying feeling you are under fire again. alexi is here for 3 weeks of psychotherapy group discussions. walks and massages. he says he'll abide by the doctor's decision about whether he should return to balloon when it got on wilma with us over history.

soldiers returning from war have described often feeling a sense of stigma from society and inability to understand where they're going through. and a rejection of what they're feeling, but that's not all the case here in ukraine, according to the director of this institute. and when he had him, we believe in victory loop in the power strength and experience of our soldiers, who every loss will be in the heart of every ukrainian nozzle. i think that helps them. of course no. the belief that we are here yet than william standing behind them. so there are people who respect them immensely and are proud of them as the channel providers. it is very important for them to know about this, and we constantly tell them for steven horton. christina, what is won't you won't say what it is. maxime is in explosives expert and has been fighting since 2014. when russia annexed crimea, and parts of the east. he likes looking at the murals at the center to lift his morale,

that he suffers from combat related stress. this sort of worth of toys on here we're working with psychology just helps along show, if a person is whole, which has arms and legs, it does not mean that everything is normal with the person. so put out his psyche is disturb little's little shy of successmaker. maxime says he is burdened by many memories, like when his men moved into a town just occupied by the russians, who had shot people, attached explosives to their bodies and buried them. this was a horseman, was 1200 hurts in the old one of the woods. this most people wanted us to work faster. what of sir? they kept asking us to go from one yard lives to another. now it took us 3 days to clean all the yards and gardens in this village, sir, huddled we were lodging, but we found a total of 5 buried bodies. the 3 that were booby trapped. there's just no fitted emissary, especially maxime says, his men call him every day. they want him to come back. he says he knows it will be hard to return,

but that he must hello makers in the united states have shop. they criticized the police response to one of the country's worst school shootings. they say a lack of leadership may have contributed to the death of 19 children and 2 teachers in valdez, texas family members of accused authorities of trying to cover up police failures academical and agree to sleep. or this is how lawmakers in texas described the police response to the you body school shooting that claimed 21 lives security video footage short, heavily armed officers standing by for 77 minutes. he even, i sought send out the investigative report release, sunday, set close to 400 officials present, feel to prioritize rescue efforts over their own safety. moody person that day.

several officers in the hallway or in that building knew or should have known. there was dying in that classroom and they should have done more active with urgency. try the door handles, try to go into the windows, try to distract him. the report on so focused on poor security measures at the school. but the grieving families of the victims, reacting to the security video as an emphasized another key aspect, jiving gun violence and the failure of existing gun control laws, valley, texas. but there is one question that should be on the forefront of their minds. what if the gunmen never had access to an assault weapon? i'm up here because i'm, i'm begging you to make a change. nobody sits here and thinks about this things because it doesn't happen to them. i promise you, i promise you, you do not want this to happen to you. i promise you. now,

protesters are demanding tied to a gun noise. although congress did g act to decent mass shootings by adding restrictions on gun sales. the noodles would not have stopped the shooter at jamante. an 18 year old with no reported history of violence. you are all the more reason these protesters see with that stricter action is needed. now, gunshot wound to the head, they dumbly wasn't. a correspondent mckenna cousin told me more about the reports. findings well say the really crossing message coming out of this is that there was failure at all levels reaching back into the structure of the police itself. and it paints a picture of utter chaos on the scene, almost $400.00 police officers. many of them heavily armed, were alerted, several dozen we saw on the scene in that security footage. and at the same time,

a sense of paralysis. a lot of more than 70 minutes. this whole thing lasted just to illustrate of more than a 140, sought a 142 rounds, fired 100 were fired by the a gunman. before the police actually entered, the room entered the scene, and the report concludes that although they don't have the exact medical evidence, there is a clear suggestion that out of the 21 victims 19 of them children. some could have survived if there hadn't been an hour of nothing happening. it points to us a chaos at the scene, and the police at the scene putting their own safety above the lives of the innocent victim. so really crossing condemnation of what happened while at the same time saying that there was no ill will detected, it was the utter chaos lack of leadership and information wider and all those law

enforcement agencies likely to face consequences as a result of this report. or what we're hearing from legal experts because of the legal situation here. we don't really expect individual police officers, although the interim head of the local police is on leave at the moment. administrative leave right now. what we can expect is a prosecution, potentially, of the federal state of texas because of the structural lack of leadership there. but we don't expect to see individual police officers to face trial over this. and this is sort of scrutiny and the deep criticism of law enforcement usual well, i think we've seen now an interim report. so there was an immediate urgency into this. and it is usual that there is an investigation. but the urgency comes from the,

the terrible circumstances of this and also the body cam footage that we're now beginning to see at which shows those scenes of complete confusion amongst police officers. so there is an unusual amount of public pressure over this, which it is safe to say will lead to further investigation and potentially the state being taken to court. suddenly we've seen a lot too many of these are all sorts of atrocities. so this is report saying, but police were there and didn't know whether to go in or they say that the or ever say that the police had protocols in place and didn't follow them. they didn't follow their own training. it's a bit of both. and we've also seen in that body come foot is that a police officer asking for permission to go into an outside too? that could have led him closer to the scene was denied that very permission. so there was

a lack of leadership on the scene. and there was bad information with the commander initially believing that they had a barricaded suspect inside the school, utter chaos which eloquently, washington, thank you. so watching t w coming up next a news, asia slang figures up to choose new presidents. we'll look at the challenges of rescuing a collapsed economy. the tribal woman back find the render mo day is the favorites to win india ceremonial presidency. so why are some 20 with choice tokenize? p. w, use asia in just a moment and i'll be back at the top of the out. i'm good. ah, ah ah,
