the t google, the luck teen the pain that i felt is the same as if the earth was going to be covered in darkness. i saw some one shot right in the heads. i couldn't grease, it's something i will never forget. so i enjoy again these and alia barrow. never forget any, any time. 10 years ago he and other mine employees were striking for higher wages and better working conditions. when the strike turned violence, police opened fire 9 bullets. it's maggie d. one are seen here in green. he survived, but 34 of his co workers didn't up until now, not a single police officer faced consequences for the massacre. 10 years on a few things changed. he and mary connor, a new company, took ownership of the mine, the seller is of most people employed here where increased. but almost everyone here says that living conditions didn't change for the majority. right next to
9:08 pm
where the shooting happens. there still is an informal settlement. we're lucky, the one i left here for a long time. people you say they have not really benefited from the resources that have been extracted from the region. we are bowers in jack on the but they both were struggling. it's just getting worse. nothing is getting better, nothing is changing in our life. we're not getting any thing. so it would be better if we at least get social housing with our proper toilet these glasses to me quickly, familiarly at the p le toilet, and that is badly. zacalo. maggie de one are fought hard to get himself fled into celery again from the mining company. despite the trauma and constant pain that he only manages with medication. a powerful man. that is why the people from oregon are you quote me that it min walkie issues me, i'm strong but he wants to continue his fight for justice, fair compensation,
9:09 pm
better living conditions, and to finally recover from the pain and trauma. let's now get you up to speed on some of the other stories making headlines today. turkey has reportedly carried out an air strike in northern syria, killing at least 11 people, including syrian government forces. the attack happened just west of the town of co, bonnie, syria and turkey have not commented. russia says that any un mission to inspect ukraine, supple regia and nuclear power plant will not be able to travel through the capital . keep because they say it's too dangerous. there are growing concerns about the safety of the reactor, which has been repeatedly struck by shelley russian official, say 3000 people have been evacuated following multiple explosions at an ammunition depot in crimea. after some back and forth. moscow described it as an act of
9:10 pm
sabotage without saying who it held responsible. the newest incident comes only a week after blasts rocked a russian air base on the annex peninsula, if ukrainian forces were behind the explosions and crimea edward mark a significant escalation of the war. cellphone video captures, a giant fire on the horizon. russian officials say the blades engulfed, and ammunition depot at a russian military base in northern crimea. multiple fireballs can be seen and heard erupting in this amateur video. as the blaze rips through the plant to nearby villages had to be evacuated. wooster seats and we came out the big look and saw clouds of smoke coming from the cow sheds where the military warehouses are . oh, we stayed there until about 7 already and everything was exploding flashes, fragments, and every falling on us you shipped it in the emergency guys came from kit and said they were evacuating. everybody was still out there were by explosion. shells
9:11 pm
falling right in the back yards. we have a shell in ours. a bet that was it was the guys came over to inspect it that i think they said they were going to the d mine it or whatever. we just left everything like workers were quickly dispatched to start repairing rail tracks and power lines damaged in tuesday's blasts was in your vehicle, which as movie mckesson is a subterranean, the russian ministry of defense done as he says, the official cause of the incident was sabotaging barnstable as jolla, burr, missouri. it will be remembered more than 3000 people have been evacuated. my scales will sca from to nearby settlements in the reach out of the machine. we would add you, but we are. why be in them or for don't which are being housed and temporary facilities. oh was me shame just pull my marilyn schools, league a physical so you can leave a total of 100. 21. people are being sheltered. adoption of those 20 are children sitting at that in chicago. the rest have gone to their relatives. to listen me look, i see benito. the blasts come one week after similar explosions at
9:12 pm
a russian military air base on the kremlin controlled peninsula. kia has not claimed responsibility for either incident, but ukraine's president has repeatedly said that regaining sovereignty over the country must include crimea, which was annexed by russia. 8 years ago. he touched on those efforts during his nightly video dress to the nation. the novel she reparations for the crimea platform on the way he likes picked the little number of participants taking part of this initiative to bring crimea back on the ukrainians sovereignty to expands rob. today, the advisory council, the d occupation of crimea, has been created to coordinate all activities and projects in this direction entered, saw the success of the crimean platform. strangely, blood for crimea is a popular tourist destination for russians, and a cryptic tweet sent out after tuesday's explosion. one of the ones his advisors wrote that invaders and thieves must understand. there is a high risk of death in the occupied territories. a summer of record breaking heat
9:13 pm
is drying up rivers. across europe, nearly half of the continent is facing an unprecedented drought. now, shipping companies and germany are preparing for the worst to as the rhine river drops to critical levels authorities, they, many vessels will be unable to navigate the key shipping route. if the water drops much lower, scientists say it's clear that climate change is leading to more intense periods of extreme heat and drought. and the w sam baker is in cologne on the banks of the river. ryan and has this report water levels here in cologne on the rhine river are reaching near record lows. as we've had weeks with little rain and prolonged periods with high temperatures. this drought is being made worse by climate change, which is really impacting the whole region and rivers across the continent. now this is a major problem for ships and companies looking to move good up and down this river as they need a meter and
9:14 pm
a half of water to get up and down the river. and in some places, that's not possible right now. so they're having to reduce their cargo to as little as 25 percent of their intended carry. and that is causing delays in getting products to where they need to go and more costs for companies and consumers. this will also add to the energy crisis here in germany, as many of the ships going up and down this river are carrying coal, heating, oil and diesel. and those, ironically, perhaps, are the very fossil fuels that are contributing to this climate crisis. and making this drought worth and making it harder for these ships to navigate this river. the latest heat waves are not only causing water levels to drop, they're also affecting frances nuclear power plants, which account for 70 percent of its energy production. the high temperatures and low water levels mean only some of them can be kept operating detail easily. st. louis reports france has been baking and temperatures of up to
9:15 pm
40 degrees for months. now. that is putting french nuclear plants under strain authorities having to bend the rules for about a 5th of them just to keep them running. usually a nuclear power plant operators are only allowed to discharge their cooling water into rivers like they go on. if the rivers temperature is under a certain limit, that is to protect the local flora and fauna county, though, authorities have suspended that rule at certain reactors like the goldfish plant. here behind me, they say it's the only way to guarantee francis power supply or for the lower or unable monitor. but these environmental activists are outraged that rules are being suspended for nuclear power plants. when river systems are already under stress in
9:16 pm
the heat and drought, he norman, warmness, or ball. they say warming them up even more is disastrous thing that the hospital for so it's a catastrophe for plants and fish it. some of them die, which has ripple effects throughout the whole food chain with fuels. when, for example, there are no micro algy certain small fish die that are normally food for bigger fish or plus warmer water contains more bacteria in order to make it potable. we have to add a lot of chemicals, which people have been drinking thought of. all of these are the ring. but with half of all reactors close for maintenance, france desperately needs the ones that are running to keep going. power company, e d f, which declined our request for an interview has called the situation extraordinary . and yet the current issues don't seem to be an existential problem for a french nuclear power. the government is about to nationalize
9:17 pm
e d f and plans to build new reactors. this energy expert says, betting heavily on nuclear for energy is not a good strategy, especially in the short run. a little doing a bother to do show, he saw our immediate level new nuclear plants can't be commissioned in the short term as their technology is not ready yet. renewables a different they have become cheaper and cheaper over the past few years and could be deployed immediately. across the country shouted a lot more fare. oh, it don't, great, belmont, and deploy m r e media. neighboring countries will be watching closely until now. france has been europe's biggest net energy exporter this year, though the country will have to import more electricity than it's exporting. and we can speak now to climate impact research her to be
9:18 pm
a listener from the scientific and policy thing tank, climate analytics debate. thank you so much for making time for us today. first off, the eternal question. how convinced are you that these extreme weather events are a result of global warming? it is absolutely clear that climate change contributes majorly to what we're seeing just now in terms of extreme temperatures, trouts. but of course also flooding across the world. so climate change is not a distant future that will be happening somewhere else. but it's really a catastrophe that is here and now and only urgent action can really prevent this from getting from getting worse. the impacts are here now, and it's absolutely clear that the temperatures that we're seeing to those extent would not have been happening without a human contribution to climate change has made this much more likely and has also contributed to this being much more extreme. what's really important to note here also is that what we're seeing is the result of just around or
9:19 pm
a little bit above one degree of warming globally. so this is not an average that just simply changes temperatures by a degree, but really plays out in these extremes. so what's clear also is that we're really urgently need to limit temperature rise to the one and a half to the limit that has been agreed in paris in order to avoid even even further severe impacts. because even temporarily going above that limit would really mean impacts that could become well unmanageable. and even might lead us to reaching limit sanitation via your head of adaptation and vulnerability at your organization. how vulnerable is your up to these extreme weather events and, and how can we adapt in time to cope with them? so what we're seeing right now, playing out over europe is really and yet that we're seeing very low. what are levels that already are starting to affect majorly. the shipping routes that we have city will be affecting very soon or are already affecting industrial
9:20 pm
production in germany. we're seeing that they are affecting energy production in france. we're starting to see issues with water availability for cation and impacts on agriculture. so we're already seeing just now how vulnerable we are to this. but the impacts of this summer will continue to show also. and over time, we're agriculture, production loss, as we'll start to actually play out now. and then might affect further food security over over the next few months, for example, through animal feed, where feed is now being fed to animals and won't be available over the winter. so combining that with, with additional to political pressure is like the war and ukraine that is affecting food food security globally. and there is certainly vulnerability and in many of the important sectors that we're really starting to see, hang out now. i don't think we're gonna, because this situation is, is, as you say,
9:21 pm
it's a situation here to stay. how can we adapt our behavior and our infrastructure? so there's certainly different different elements to this. but in a lot of cases, actually me and best men, such as in renewable energy infrastructure, for example, also makes the energy system more resilient to, to those shots less, less reliance on cooling water. for example. distributed energy production would, would have that effect as well. but at the same time, and it would be for example, and investing in full in sustainable infrastructure for irrigation, such as solar irrigation pumps for example. so a lot of these investments would really be combinations, but of course it's also in urban areas to, to invest in further green spaces, for example. and a lot of these investments actually been have positive effects, also on the quality of life in a lot of areas to v, alyssa of climate analytics. thank you so much. my pleasure.
9:22 pm
almost 50 years after native american actress said sheen little feather was booed at the oscars. the academy of motion, picture, arts and sciences has apologized to her in 1973 after marlon brando's and little feather to refuse his oscar for best actor and protest at hollywood treatment and depiction of native americans. little feather was given just a minute to speak and received a mixture of applause and jeers. the academy now says it recognizes her bravery. little feather responded in a statement saying, we indians are very patient people. it's only been 50 years. and katrina phillips as a historian at the mcallister college in minnesota. she specializes in the history of native americans. good to see you. it took the academy almost 50 years to apologize for the way little feather was treated at the oscars. what does this apology mean to the native american community?
9:23 pm
i'd say it's one of those things where it's great to see and hear that apology. and it's wonderful to see that it's getting international international attention. but it also doesn't make up for the fact that, you know, as you said, she was essentially booed off the stage and basically blacklisted after this. and i don't want to speak her, anybody, other than myself, but the growing awareness around the representation and misrepresentation of native people in the film industry is definitely a shift in the right direction. yeah. can you give us a bit of context? what was the idea behind little feather speech back then? so by the time we get to the 1970s, we're kind of in the heart of the ongoing activism and advocacy movements that kind of characterize the 196970 s. you have the fish and movements in the pacific northwest the creation of the american indian movement here in the twin cities and the takeover of alcatraz by the indians of all tribes. and we have all kinds of things, you know, takeovers at the bureau of indian affairs and mount rushmore,
9:24 pm
the creation of the national day of mourning. these things that are bringing attention to indigenous issues. and what's key here is that the oscar ceremony was shortly after the wounded knee occupation began, and that was already getting a lot of media attention. and marlon, brando had actually been arrested at efficient that was organized by the national indian youth council in 1964. and so it's not like he just kind of jumped on the bandwagon here. these were ideas that he was aware of. he understood and things like that. and the idea behind the speech, as far as i understand, was to bring attention to how poorly native people were being treated by the film industry. at has the treatment of native people by the film industry improved in those past 5 decades. i think it's getting there. there's a really long history of treatment of native people in the film industry. going all the way back to movies like stage coach and the searchers. and we've,
9:25 pm
we've seen better representation. you know, some of the revisionist westerns that followed, we have the rise of films like the fast runner. and the most importantly we have the recent release of prey, which includes the comanche language and also has a version that's been dubbed in the comanche language. so you could actually watch the entire film in comanche and so i would say it's better, but there is still a ways to go. let's talk about society. native american still struggle with racism and discrimination across the u. s. what needs to be done on the socio political level to, to change that a lot of, as you know, as a historian and as a professor. the 1st step for me is always building awareness of not only the history, but also recognizing what matters to native people today looking at things like the ongoing food sovereignty movements and things like that. and people here in the
9:26 pm
united states don't necessarily understand the historical context behind a lot of these issues. and you know, i always tell my students, you don't know what you don't know. and native people tend to be erased. we tend to be made invisible. and so a lot of that ongoing advocacy is around bringing native issues to light and helping people understand why it matters. and also why we better katrina phillips of the mcallister college in minnesota. such a pleasure speaking to you today. thanks so much for having me. and before we go, here's a reminder of the top stories we're following for you today. the runner up in kenya's presidential election has confirmed, he will contest the results, rayleigh, dingo has described the outcome as a blatant disregard of the constitution. he also said that the chair of the electoral commission acted unilaterally and illegally and declaring william roto the winner. a series of explosions has rocked ukraine's annex crimean
9:27 pm
peninsula. and what russia defense ministry says is an act of sabotage. local officials say a fire spark the explosions at an ammunition depot, injuring to people, and forcing thousands from their homes. ukraine has neither confirmed nor denied any attacks on crimea. and coming up next match day 2 of the one is legal entity w's but ball show kick off. i'm nicole really for me and the entire team here in berlin. thank you so much for your company. will be back at the top with ah, with
9:28 pm
ah, who take off what's going on here? what is he doing? who do they think they are? good questions. you can find the answers here. all the games,
9:29 pm
all the goals. the point is that you go highlights connect d w with interest, the global economy, our portfolio, d w business beyond. here's a closer look out the project. our mission. to analyze the flight for market dominance. good is step ahead with the w business beyond. sometimes the big jump, right. how that you out the highlights for shipping boxes and free week. not them up. mm
