[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah, this is the w news live from burly travel cases over a 1000 flights through germany are cancelled as airline staff go on strike passengers that are left stranded in airports as love tons of cox, almost all service through 2 major hogs,

striking ground staff say they need higher pay to cope with inflation and increased . we're also coming off russia cups. gas applies to germany. flows through the north stream pipeline are down to just 20 percent of normal capacity. germany is cabinet is meeting to discuss the energy costs and u. s. fire fighters are raising hopes of saving you city national park, a giant place threatening its action. trees shifts, direction, evacuation, orders are still in place though for thousands of rest. thus, england moves closer to claiming the crown at the euro football tournament. those nations team advances to the final, after beating sweden, their opponent will be decided in

a match today between germany and france. ah, i'm glad else as well come to the program. ground staff at germany's largest ally, lufthansa are on strike. that is forced the company to cancel more than a 1000 flights. nearly all service through loft has us hobbs in frankfurt. ant unit has been scrapped starting today. the disruption is impacting travel plans for more than a $130000.00 passages worldwide in the coming days. work as are demanding a pay increase to cope with rising living costs, holiday plans and business trips put on hold. no one left to work. the counters would be looked hanser passengers at frankfurt airport or stuck with almost no ground staff to help them and their luggage reached their destinations. i got a cancellation message her this morning were traveling and her but nothing more. i tried to reach them or by, by chance,

and by my phone or her nothing. they're not coming through. oh, we have to stay in line and see if we get a fight back and hope we got quite back because we're going to start school soon. now and then also our parents, they're traveling to nigeria, so it's like we would if we don't get a flight back in like a few days, then we won't be able to see them for like almost 3 months because we haven't seen them. the striking workers say they have plenty of reasons to ask for higher wages . staff shortages have increased their workload as has the surgeon travel as pandemic restrictions loosen. but after 2 rounds of bargaining, they still haven't gotten what they wanted. does that song, a boy tell by the last offer, loved handsome made was not enough to stop. the strike had been. lufthansa also hasn't improved its offer in recent days. so the employees see the necessity to go on strike today. by video for weeks, we have seen an immense workload at airports across germany. so this is

a clear signal from the employs ignited in the bush after 9. lufthansa has pointed the finger at the workers for demanding too much and putting a burden on travellers. organizers say the strike should last just over 24 hours, but they're prepared for further walk outs. if latan said doesn't meet their demands as good mo, from did your business correspond? christie plants and who joins us from frankfurt. airport chrissy. pretty dismal picture that in the, in the report of things. but now on the line of people you can see behind me has thinned out to some degree. if you could see to my left, the end of the line is, is just to my left here by wires earlier today that line when all the way back to the bit through the terminal. couldn't even see the end. when i went to look for it . i'm so it is shorter, but i will say some of the people that i spoke to earlier this morning about 3 hours ago. i see that they're still waiting in line. still haven't gotten to speak . tell us tanza representatives are still waiting to find out when they can leave frankfurt,

when they can get home or get on to their next destination or destination. so they're almost all of tons of flights were cancelled today. there's very little wiggle room here in terms of re booking these people until of tons of flights. obviously, a very large amount of passengers affected over 90000 passengers. here in frankfort alone affected by these strikes up. so it's quite difficult to relocate them on to other other flights. it seems this may not be the last of these stripes. what well, what we know is that a lufthansa and though latan the union do plan to continue negotiations and next week. but the union has said that if their demands are not met or that if they're not, if they're not offered an offer that they're happy with, they are willing to strike again. one of their main sticking points for with the most recent offer from the lufthansa is that part of the pay raise that lufthansa is willing to offer is tied to the condition that the company is profitable. so that will of basically mean that if they,

if they aren't profitable than these employees won't get a perez, we obviously know we're dealing with record high flayson here in europe as elsewhere. and for the workers who are just completely overwhelmed by the demand from this, this post cove, it's summer season and that's just not acceptable to them. they said they are willing to strike again was, is it just look tons of passengers who have to worry about their flights? who should say this isn't the 1st strike we've seen this summer. we also saw a few weeks ago strikes from scandinavian airlines also strikes from airlines in france as well. and we also heard today that ryanair is planning a strike in august as well. it's been a very chaotic season for european air travel. pretty much the same issues that love tons of employees are dealing with and are complaining about our, our issues for the whole industry and actually a little of tons of spokesperson we spoke to earlier. said as much himself. he said, this is not just an issue for left tons, it's an issue for the whole industry up. so a worth in the thick of the european and a vacation season right now,

and it doesn't look like his issues are going to be clearing up any time soon. chris, about sunday, the, the business in frankfort for us. thank you for c rushes, energy company gas from has followed through with its plans to reduce gas supply to germany through the north stream pipeline. germany gas network operator confirm that flows have dropped to just 20 percent of the normal volumes on wednesday morning. the costs will make it difficult for germany to fill its reserve tanks before the winter. germany is already at the 2nd stage of a 3 level emergency gas plan for the cost could trigger rationing. jeremy's cabinet is expected to address the energy crisis at its meeting. in berlin today. well, it'll be a business reporter for moscow correspondent, our tilton is with ministry discovery, the story of force. and how will this reduction effect germany now? well, it's not likely to have an immediate impact in terms of a business sense. i mean,

you have to remember the kremlin has already made some noise that they're willing to make up for this, these gas deliveries from north stream one through another pipeline running through central europe. so it's not likely to have a huge impact in that sense. this is more about exerting pressure both on the german government and the german people. they're trying to get them to lose their interest in supporting the war in ukraine. long term. i mean, we're already in a situation where a lot of people are having kind of a price shock when, when they're looking at their gas bills. you know, i'm moving house right now in pain from i used to pay $50.00 a month to heat my old apartment. well, the new apartment, it's going to be 272301000 euros a month for gas to heat. my apartment and of course in when people see that and hear this type of noise coming out of the kremlin, they get a little bit of nervous, a little bit nervous rather. and that's exactly what the kremlin was. this is more a political move than it is an economic move. so, so currently the credit has caught a gas problem has caught deliveries to 20 percent of noble capacity. is

a company cut off likely will that and that is really dependent upon how the german government now the german people and also the use citizens more broadly react in the coming months. you have to realize that the kremlin is actually a fairly good position right now. there while it is actually full gas prices are up and they're actually making more money from selling hydrocarbons they did before the war. so that's kind of given them. i think the confidence to say ok, we can use this as a tool to sort some pressure on the. remember they're known to have done that before. they did it in the early 2, thousands to crane several times. and this is all about kind of destabilizing, i'm germany, to a certain extent. i mean, you know, flattery. putin is a very high level. judo player in judo, which i do think informs, is approach to foreign policy. it's all about giving your opponent a little bit of a shelf and seen which way they're going to fall before you go in for the attack. i do believe that's what they're doing right here. they're giving the you in germany a little bit of a shelf, and now they want to see what the best policy can be moving forward. a very interesting not that she actually now against the back of this impending gas

shortage. the german government is also planning to focus on the refurbishment of existing building buildings, cladding, them insulating the better. is that gonna help in the short term? you know, i really think it's nothing more than a bit of a distract. do any type of construction in this land of red tape and bureaucracy knows you can't get anything done in 6 months to a year, even if you try. right. so it will have li, yes, it's just a, it's the case everywhere in the country. so by saying we're going to focus on, you know, refurbishing the buildings, these less energy. i mean, that's not going to fix our gas prices in the next 2 to 3 months. the kremlin is thinking in a very short term here, they're thinking about short term ways to exert pressure on germany. and, you know, saying that we're going to convert to solar in the next 6 months is just a way to distract from the larger issues at hand. in my opinion, that others our children there. thank you very much for this analysis on thank you does not have

a look at some of the other stories making headlines. tunisia has approved the new constitution in a referendum, marred by low voter turnout and accusations of fraud. changes to the constitution have granted unchecked, passed to the office of president chi sayed artist, with example, choose the electoral border. falsifying turner figures of the rivals boycotted the vote. please and mexico have made what they say is the biggest drug bust in the city's history. authorities seized 1.6 tons of cocaine in hidden compartments to freight trucks. b drugs, i believe, to have originated from colombia and would be worth about $20000000.00 us dollars on the street. at least 15 people have been killed during violent protest directed against the united nations in the democratic republic of congo. both prep protesters and un personnel among the dead. the demonstrate to say the long serving

un peacekeeping mission as fail to protect civilians from militia violence the when as strongly condemned the clashes. but it also faces accusations that its peacekeepers shot and killed protesters. ah, the people of the democratic republic of congo have had to live with conflict and violence for decades. now, some have turned against those assigned to protect them from it. the troops in the blue hats are from anesco. the un peacekeeping force, which has served in the country for more than 20 years. but some believe they have failed to deal with the militia violence which has long brutalized, the eastern part of the country. protests against the un forces this week, organized by a youth wing of the country's ruling party, quickly turned deadly in the cities of goma on dutempo. at least one un peacekeepers and to you and police personnel were killed along with several protesters. the death toll is still rising. we add our voice to the acting head of monasco cassim gen,

to condemn the killing of our colleagues and to express our deepest sympathy to their families and colleagues. mr. jang has described the violence against the un as absolutely unacceptable and counterproductive. given that the mission is in the country to work alongside local authorities, to protect civilians, deter armed groups and build a capacity of state institutions and services. but monasco forces are accused of shooting protesters, a potential breach of their mandate. if it's gone up, i'm when he's fun. oh, what has just happened here is a piece keeper has killed one person here at their base and he has injured another . we don't want them here anymore. best yet to let them go to their homes. and then i took another do black lined up. well, my son go, is it? reuters journalist has reported seeing un peacekeepers shoot to people dead as protesters through rocks and tried to set fire to you and building and goma the you

and says it will investigate those claims. obviously if there's any, ah, if, if there's any a responsibility by un, no of forces for any of the injuries or, or any of the death, we will, we will follow up on that but, but yes, we do 1st need to get to the truth of what was happening on the ground, we should. what is clear on the ground is that there is opposition to monasco. much of it directed by the country's government who have long wanted the you and force reduced or removed entirely. my mom because i'm up there, tear gassing us. because we came to say that no sco does not have bought out. well, that must have been in congo for 22 years and nothing works. we came to demand our rights, but the shoot us with tear gas yet. but and up we got mclamore said, oh, the fog of conflict in this country is dense. apportioning responsibility is a difficult task. but what is obvious to everyone on all sides? the peace is not being kept to the philippines. now we are

a powerful earthquake has struck in the countries north killing at least 4 people and injuring dozens more. major tremors triggered landslides and toppled buildings at the epicenter and a mountainous mountain mountainous abra products. the effect were also felt among almost 300 kilometers away in the capitol, manila, forcing the evacuation of hospitals and high rise buildings authorities say some affected areas have been left without part of phone reception is the strongest earthquake to hit the philippines in years of his how people in the philippines experienced this quake. oh my god, it's really, i'm very long. the shaking is her really strong about that. of course i was afraid. we haven't felt the stronger note creek before. the impact was really high in idea. i iananda. yeah, i know gregory, let me know or my colleague and i were working in

a coffee shop when he noticed that the chandelier was moving. we panicked because it was so strong and weak. and it lasted further over a minute, i think by more than one minute either. and we panic because it was the 1st time we were on such a high floor when the queen struck him in the big one. for on this let's cross to manila and speak to each melnar rock who a heads the earthquake and so now the monitoring division at the countries seismology institute. how have you experienced this quake, and how bad is it in comparison? well right now it almost every 2 years we experience a multitude, 7th grade here in the philippines. so we're not really new to the idea that our case would affect certain areas in the to be. so we just, we just have a long term program of improving the awareness of people about their assets related to ours. so with that, we always conduct several,

several information dr. about what the staff and also. ready also want to improve the construction of buildings following the safety codes, properly, properly implemented in the different regions in the for the games. so of course they're saying sorry to interrupt you, that back in 2013, more than 200 people died and i was saying that the country has learned the lesson and is better prepared this time. well i would think that in terms of preparing the country there, i of course certain certain challenges because the return b and the larger brakes are not as often as i phones for example, in this particular area. the last big, bigger, damaging, or big was way back in 1983 when i looked at the smaller, quick damage portion of portion of

a loss. that's why i think most people are not really well. they are surprised that that there's a larger it's afford. so it's always important to regularly conduct information dr . about lot are things that have occurred in the past, so they, they would know what they would do in the future. a great, do you predict any further aftershocks, also known as oh, yes, in terms of faster shock. so we've seen that for every, on the global average, whenever there's a larger crate, we normally set that up around $1.00 of them out of the magnitude of the mean. so right now, the mileage of that estimated magnitude of the main shop, it's might be just 7. so we would expect around $4.00 or, but this isn't a cord yet. so we're still expecting a very large after shop of me or any any

b from now. so it's important to assess what is the situation in there. yeah. where whether there are still buildings that are damage, that will be further damage because of the major after shock. so there will be for the high size, there may be cases of cravy says that might induce a landslide. so this needs to be assessed earlier. so that people would that position themselves in as a display says it's wrong. iraq who had the earthquake and so now i mean monitoring division of the company 1st quality institute. thank you very much for your time and don't question. now to some or world news stories, in brief, archaeologists have displayed a 1850 year old coin found recently as the zodiac sign of cancer and the movie got us. luna, experts say the coin was minted in alexandria,

egypt under the rule of roman and pro antonio's p. s. the discovery was 1st of the israeli. regular rainfall is cause widespread flash flooding in the us and lose area in the united states. multiple roads were closed and firefighters rescued stranded people from carson homes. almost 30 centimeters of rain fell in some areas firefighters in the u. s. state of california am said they're making progress in containing a giant blaze on the edge of his semitic national park. the file that's been raging since saturday was threatening the pos john sequoia trees and many endangered animals. but now favourable weather conditions have slowed that fire. the blazes already destroyed thousands of homes and force thousands of president to flee just some of the destruction after fi ripped through mariposa county. the huge blaze has caused major damage in many areas,

but more moist air moved into the region on tuesday. a huge help for the 3005 fight is battling the arc fire. read a really good day today. we got a lot of work done this morning. we reported 10 percent containment on the fire to night were reporting 16 was inconvenient. so, you know, it's not a huge number, but it's a pretty big percentage. um, if you look at it that way, the flames erupted last friday and quickly got out of control. the ferocious blaze was fed by tend to dry conditions. the region is seeing its worst drought and decades. thousands of people were forced to evacuate their homes, dozens of which have been destroyed. these images showed the blaze smouldering from space. not far south west from yosemite national park. officials were concerned. the fire was heading towards the reserve, but now i believe it warn't reach it. at this point,

the fire does not appear to be an imminent threat to yosemite. california has experienced increasingly larger and deadly a wildfire in recent years. and scientists believe that due to climate change, the situation here will only get more unpredictable in the future. and he w correspondence, stefan zeeman says that an evacuation center and mariposa california and earlier we asked him if firefighter seemed to have the fire the control. no, not at all far from it. 26 percent contain now that is a huge jumper and the p i o, the press information officer in the piece was very positive. and that is rightfully so. odd the firefighters who started battling this fires when it was really small, or just 3 days ago, or 500 fire fighters deployed. now 3000 battling a major fire. 18000 acres. big. this is humongous. the biggest fire in 2022 so far in california. so of course he's positive because they're making progress and

they seem and there is a crook at the moment seemed to be positive that the fire is drifting away from you . so many part, but this can change, this fire is erratic, it jumped so fast and made so many acres, jumps in days, thousands of acres that $3000.00 fire fighters are now necessary to battle in many countries in europe have also seen major wildfires in recent days. as climate change exacerbates heat, waves and droughts, major blazes have been her burning across a national park in eastern germany for several days. military helicopters have been called in to assist the fire spread across the border from the czech republic with hundreds of firefighters. both countries still battling to contain it and at some sports sues. now tournament horse england are through to the final of europe. 2022. after beating sweden for nil. the lionesses kept their composure after

a 50 contest. start of the game in sheffield. forward beth. meet scored her 6th goal of the tournament, giving her the joint most gold goals in a single euros championship. inland bull play either germany or france who face off later today. well, they you, as i'm not john boss, sports reporter max merritt max. how did the english women pulled out well in bonds doing fashion for neil against the number to rank side in the world? if sweden is not just anyone, absolutely not. busy and sweden were the better side for 20 minutes. at the very least in we were on the back foot. really struggling actually seemed like the pressure maybe gotten to them in sweden had the better game plan. but then against the run of play, beth meet, got yes, another goal, the tournament top scorer, fantastic stuff from her and then the 2nd half, the floodgates opened. and as sweden really have to look at themselves a bit, some bad defending that the goal people won't be happy with her performance as well

. lucy brown scoring, but unless you're rousseau, as well for england coming on as a sub for the 4th time she's scored from the bench. so just showing the depth that england have in and frank kirby with another delightful go. and so england are in the final, at wembley, presumably a full house. it's going to be a really raucous atmosphere. they are arguably the strongest side in this competition. but i do support a few weaknesses that could be exposed in the final. so let's see who faces that. now that final is going to be very, very interesting, especially if it's of course, germany versus england that has a lot of history, that pairing now in this, in the final will, will, it will turn out. it's germany versus france today. how is that going to go? well, i think germany are going to do it. i mean, france are good side, but they're not great. and germany have been absolutely great in this competition. they came into this tournament, not being one of the firm favorites being a sort of outside favorite, which is somewhat surprising considering that track record out of 12 women's euros

germany of $18.00. so they definitely have history on their side and they have the school to do it as well. the only real problem they have is the cloud blue. one of their starting forwards has cove it so she won't be playing at tonight. so i do think still there's enough there to beat france and then if there was a final between england and germany, i think england have a slight edge and the coaching departments that in a vig month, one the euros with a native netherlands last time around in 2017, however, germany are an absolute pressing machine and having watched england closely during the last 2 matches against spain and now against sweden, they are a little bit susceptible when they are pressed effectively, and germany are the best at that. and the competition. both teams have a lot of strength and depth and star quality, but yet last time they met in a final 2009 at the or as germany, 162. so could be an interesting one. hope for us, you very much, not smell of dw sports. and that said from me and the news,
