[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah ah, business d w. news lying from berlin, ukraine's volota mere zalinski holds, talks with the leaders of turkey and the united nations. turkey's rigid type are due on warns against another chernobyl with the safety of europe's largest nuclear

power plant at stake. also on the program, officials in ukraine, 2nd largest city car, keith report fresh russian strikes on civilian area, plus forest fires, kill dozens, and algeria and hundreds more are moved to safety. officials warned hot winds could spread the flames even further. and no one claims responsibility for bombing a mosque in the afghan capital. kabul and killing 21. people. groups linked to the so called islamic state have carried out several attacks since the taliban return to power. ah, i'm nichol fairly, it's good to have you with us. united nations secretary general antonio terrace has called for all troops to be withdrawn from around ukraine. supple regia,

a nuclear power station. the plant has come under repeated shelling. quoterush was speaking during talks with ukraine's president volota me or zalinski and the turkish leader wretch of type air to one and the city of levine and western ukraine . the leaders also discussed exchanging prisoners of war and increasing ukrainian grain exports. millions of tons of wheat and mays are still stuck in black seaports . good, harris repeated calls for a safe zone around supple regio nearly 30 equipment and personal should be withdrawn from the plant. further deployment of forces or equipment to the sides must be avoided. the area needs to be really put us. and we must film as he sees every potential damage. who's up? what is your is suicide to w correspondent monte as billing. i was at that news conference following these talks. mathias, president, early on of turkey, has warned of quote, another term noble at this average. our plant and ukraine is concerned by new

information. their intelligence to agencies claim to have gathered. what more can you tell us? yeah, russia seems to have announced to free day tomorrow asking only the crews that will be on duty that will really run the operations at the power plant to come to work and all the other stuff. not. and that is, of course, something that worries ukraine. of course, these some informations have not been confirmed by the russian side. it's exclusively ukrainian intelligence information that there has been an announcement by russia, however, that they are accusing ukraine of planning to do some thing. a provocation was there, call it there tomorrow. so it seems that tomorrow is going to be a critical day in this power plant that has been under pressure for quite some time

being shelled from different sides. we don't know exactly from where. and we also heard that the situation inside the plant is quite dia, with high pressure on the staff there, and a lot of military equipment stored near or even inside the facility. we don't know this exactly, but the situation is kansas. both the air to on angle harish, have stress that there is positive momentum for a diplomatic efforts. after that grain deal was achieved a couple weeks back. is that optimism shared by president zalinski it depends on what we are talking about. there are quite a few things that diplomats can do at this stage. one thing is to try to resolve this situation around the power plant. another thing is changes of prisoners and also they, all of them have said today that they want to speed up the green exports to get more ships in and out of ukrainian pause. but of course requires work with all

sides. so there is of course, room for diplomacy to play at this stage. but the question is, is this going towards a diplomatic solution of the conflict as ad on how suggested on that's clearly not what is happening at the moment when he has billing with the latest from levine and western ukraine. thanks. and this is also the 1st face to face meeting between irwin and zalinski. so let's get a turkish perspective on these talks from dorian jones, who joins us from, is dumble dorian. everyone seems very confident in his capacity as the mediator between russia and ukraine. how does he envision getting the 2 sides to the negotiating table? what i think he sees his current grain deal, which turkey held the broker along with united nations between ukraine and russia as a vehicle that could ultimately take these tooth,

warring policies to negotiation table. now basically turkey, very and boy, by the fight, that's already 25. ships have passed. thanks. so this ukraine deal to the well market counting around half a 1000000 tons of grain. now that he's seen by turkey is the evidence that these 2 warring parties can at these work together on this feel. now, one sees the 1st it will be to build on the success of this deal, solely building some kind of trust between the 2 side, which will be ultimately key in any negotiation. now what i think is focusing at least on resolving the current crisis over the nuclear power stations, possibly some deal can be broke. with that, this will be further momentum that ultimately could bring the sides negotiating table along the talks of prisoner swaps, which one is also believed to discuss during his meeting with the russian president vladimir putin who has met twice in the last month. and this is another reason why one thought still in some ways, confident cookie in many ways is the best place to facilitate that the

a when the 2 sides already told. what is the earth on himself hope to gain from positioning himself at the center of these diplomatic efforts? while turkey really is a neighbor with ukraine and russia and has close ties of both sides has been really affected very badly by this conflict. cutting on an economic level being hit by soaring food prices along with the rest of the world. so the 3rd one is very keen to sell, how bring an end to this company and bring some stability to the region. but beyond that, i think one seasonal for unity. again, to play the world leading figure, he sees himself is really the only man that can ultimately bring the site together . given the fact he thought up close ties with ukrainian and the vice president and he sees is a little bit unity again of putting stuff on the world state, which he knows he please will play well with supporters in turkey and also the fight to be facing reelection next year and also he'll see a chance if need be successful, bring some kind of piece. this will also silent. see please criticism, turkeys,

close ties. suppose was toki has faced green criticism from its western allies, especially associates, not enforcing western sanctions against russia. many factors that play their dorian jones and assemble. thank you. now, meanwhile, authorities are searching for a survivors of russian shelling and ukraine. second city har, keith officials say at least 11 people were killed in a strike on an apartment building. the city in northeastern ukraine has been subjected to continual russian strikes since the start of the war. another 7 people have been killed in shelling in the cities the chief can neighbourhood. sometimes guy is close to the front line and has been the target of russian shelling nearly every day. or gives mayor says a 1000 civilians have been killed in the city since the war began. and dw spaghetti shellcare was insulted car few days ago before the latest attacks. and send us this

report. ah, greg shops bombed out schools, no gas, no water. this used to be a vibrant neighborhood. months of attacks as the russians tried to smash hockey f into submission have left south africa district like this. since the start off rush us invasion salt, if god has borne, the brunt of moscow's relentless shelling were taught to 90. percent of the inhabitants have fled. the neighbourhood, he has certainly feels like a ghost town. it's often the weekend poor who remained in during months of her tax bill. leona, had tatiana boscoe, are the only people still in there, block them miss? how life used to be i lost her good. there were many children running around it, it was fun living here to go really? yes, we are many kindergartens and schools. everything was there. we were there doing what they can to prepare for winter and use this basement to high tailoring air

raid alarms while we're down there. we're shelly in the distance with us. there is no. my biggest fear is still that the russians could come from a fashionable to show the we can survive with no water with no electricity from wonderful, but this shooting the rockets hitting us. the bulus that frightens me. despite the fear, life is slowly returning to south america. next door, workers fix water pipes for the least damage apartments and patch up the smashed windows to prevent rain and snow making the damage loose. but they are not ready to start full renovation. a member of hockey housing committee tells me both of these to jousting. it's mozilla. there is no sense in doing it now because the war is still going on. most human hockey is being shelled every day of the dinner. and if for example, we were to replace the glass on the windows,

we could even happy born an attack. jesus took running the bulletin. i'm all during your with reduce. but for ego or sadder, actually, even basic repairs are a sign of hope. he invites us to his home, after weeks living in the metro station he and his wife all in our in need to be bag. even though they have no windows, all running water. with me as we don't know, what will happen in the winter, we hope there'll be some heating or we have to put more plastic in the windows with eager says he's lucky. he's still being paid as a professional football court. he proudly shows us his tv up. nobody moves which a lot of them are gone abroad or are now in western ukraine. they promote only 6 of the kids have stayed here, as i missed them so very much, i really hope they come back soon. isn't until then he and the others we met here in south africa will concentrate on surviving really hoping the front keeps being

pushed further away. bracing for the coming winter forest fires in algeria have killed more than 30 people and injured many more. hundreds of residents have been moved to safety and dozens taken to hospital with breathing difficulties. helicopters are being used to put out the fires as officials worn. that hot winds could spread the flames. lu and we can now speak to freelance journalist science, she talk who joins us on the line from our chair science. good to see what's the situation at the moment? is still going on the still researching the people who disappeared in the forest. the situation is does very tense and of course the president sent his minister can tear her to push more. and she said more teams in order to do a research of human beings. and of course,

the area is under the fire in some places. and therefore, these a situation may have more death, toll is rising more than 37. now, more people injured, more than 100. and the situation is quite complicated because it needs more sophisticated group in such helicopters and the airplanes to help a fire brigades to stop the fire. because it's not only one point, it's more than 30 points in the area. do we know how the fire started? yet ac multiple explanation, of course, among them may be crimes may be, you know, lack of maintenance, waste management, the problem with that disposal and the problem with the bottles. and of course, the forest is very dance in very humid and of course there is area which is where it is quite dry. it's inland because it's not only one provinces, it is the most east, formal east, and of course the area. so,

east in the border with tunisia and northern virginia is no stranger to wild fires . what's different this here? this year is the fact that it's in the area. it's very remote area because the area of the company last year, it was area where there is a lot of roads to get access. but the problem with these areas there is no road, no axis. it's a, it's a lot of trees in land. and of course, it's the area where forests and mountains and no axis, and the people get dropped in, especially in this so called the national reserve abrupt here, which is the animal reserve and also assume where a lot of visitors been get dropped. and we've seen recently the big drama, the small mother, we lost her 4 kids with her, get her and get dropped in the area code,

which is for the south of august area. their gust a teach my guess, which is no cigarettes. it's not far from, from the move of at thomas ana, which is the national park. and it's, you know, situations where it's difficult. now, dramatic situation there. thank you so much sites she took in algeria for describing it to us. china's national weather center has issued a red alert over soaring temperatures. the worst heat wave in 6 decades is disrupting daily life. people, factory production and life stock all suffering but look, have cracked in g m. she proteins and the yangtze river is shrinking. the river has received less than half the rain that typically feeds it in august. meanwhile, people in cities across china are roasting as temperature remain close to 40 degree

celsius. rather experts have issued a read a lot wanting for the next many weeks, but people are already fatigued from the intense heat gas along. it's like a steamer, it's really hot. if you have nothing to do, it's best to stay at home with air conditioning, go. experts say climate change is driving the extreme weather. in shang i, a record of $40.00 degrees celsius was about to break. but the city was saved by a thunderstorm. this on how su, inch and high i founded the hot days a really long and the temperatures are especially high yesterday because my job is at the port. i went to airport to walk around. it was just an hour, my clothes and pants were all what you think was the city said the other with the heat up. power cuts have become more frequent and industrial areas are feeling the hit in more ways than one in set you on province or factories have been asked to close for 6 days to save power. that will impact the supply of semiconductors and

lithium for it's such, one is a key hub. in south west china, ground temperatures spike to a dizzying 50 degrees celsius, making several of these pigs faint, firefighters rushed to cool them down, preventing what could have been a loss of over $50000.00 as now get you up to speed on some of the other stories making headlines around the world to day. a storm has caused severe flooding and parts of new zealand, south island. hundreds of families have had to leave their homes. a state of emergency as enforce rivers have burst their banks and roads been washed away. more rain as forecast in the next few days. stony i says it has repelled the most extensive cyber attacks in more than a decade. the russian hacker group kill net, says it blocked access to more than $200.00 state and private institutions. estonia recently removed soviet monuments from

a region with an ethnic russian majority. a bombing at a mosque in the afghan capital cobble has killed at least $21.00 people, including a prominent cleric. dozens more were wounded and there has been no claim of responsibility. but the so called islamic state has carried out a series of attacks in afghanistan. ever since the taliban returned to power a year ago. oh, the mosque was crowded, and the bomb was powerful. dozens died and several children are believed to be among the wounded casualty. numbers are expected to rise. security forces have now sealed off the bloss seen, but this neighborhood is still in shock with to do of those on. i lost my cousin, i went to the mosque and then the blast happened. we only found out at midnight

that he had lost his life. i've gone a stun has been hit by regular attacks since the taliban ceased power in august last year. many of them have been claimed by the islamic state last week. the group claim responsibility for killing a permanent taliban cleric at his religious center in kabul. but so far, no one has taken credit for this attack. at the hospital, the families of the victims are waiting for news already that of about a module for so many people were killed. all the amount of them are some were even thrown out of the windows of the most. i'm out of ever the all new bottom of that with a lot of them on the sword. but did all that were brought to my family members here? of they were injured and the blast we are going for we learn was gold venza. the islamic state has primarily targeted minority communities such as she ight to feast

and seeks. but their focus now seems to be widening just as the taliban celebrate their one year in power. this week also, as we just heard, saw the 1st anniversary of the taliban takeover in afghanistan. we asked journalist allie latifah, and cobble whether people are reading anything into the timing of this attack on. not necessarily because even leading up to the timing, there were there was a killing of another religious leader. i think what it does prove is that this long the camera is having as much of a problem as the former small republic. in taking out an insurgency, the former sonic republic had to deal with the tall barn when they were lids. urgency as well as the so called islam ec state, and now the amor it to add the tall, a bon, you know, is only left with this so called to some extent. but they too have been unable to take on this group because even of this specific instance, isn't them? the truth is that they still pose a threat and that they are the biggest. they're the biggest threat remaining in the

country at this point. the german government, as cutting the sales tax on natural gas than an attempt to rain and soaring energy costs. chancellor, all actual says the tax will drop from 19 to 7 percent as a temporary measure. russia has limited gas applies to germany, sending prices storing, and consumers are set to feel the pinch later this year. when extra sir charge on gas comes into effect. and our political correspondence, i'm young as covering the story for us. simon, cutting the value added tax on natural gas. i'm more than half down like a big step towards more we're sure it is. it's a big deal. the government says this could cost of the state of over 10000000000 euros over the next 18 months, but they say drastic action is needed. the war and ukraine and the interruption to a gas supplies to germany and europe means that there is

a problem. the government wants to reduce gas use, but also to build up the gas reserves ahead of the wind to where more gas will be needed. so they've introduced these levies that had set to run from october this year until march 2024 and gas supplies are supposed to pass those costs on to consumers. what it means, roland, re, families is hundreds of euros more on their energy bills. so the government's tried to dampen that effect by taking off v a t from the, from the levy part of the gas bill. but that wasn't allowed under re you rule. so now they just said, well, we'll cut the a t on a gas consumption altogether. it's an attempt to help help out ordinary people. that's one way to soften the blow. what else is the german government doing to fight inflation and keep the cost of living manageable? at least? yeah, they got

a packages in place about $30000000000.00 euros were so far this year and they say they'll do more if necessary. they've also had specific programs helping families with children also cheap tickets on public transport this summer. and they're also reorganizing some welfare benefits to expand those to a wider group. so they're doing what they can. they say, chancellor schoultz says that, you know, he acknowledges it will be tough this winter with high energy bills and other high prices about the government's going to do what it can to help. i mean young many thanks and he c o p o, a ground breaking group is challenging. the stereotype that girls shouldn't be involved in extreme sports. if you'll be in girls skaters brings together girls from different backgrounds to learn skateboarding. and they say it's been beneficial to both their physical and mental health

i. every saturday these skaters meet to learn new tricks, how to nail a landing, how to find their balance, and how to push back against gender stereotypes. so when, when you being a woman or a girl, it's very hard, even to kid around a girl, the boys. it's kind of really hard because people, things are like goals, she does to help their parents of the house. the all female group was founded by so sina charla, 3 years ago after she broke away from the non profit. ethiopia skate since then. it's taught more than $150.00 girls to skate. it's not really calling for a girl to start skating. and because people don't support you, but somebody had to be to for some group, had to start and we were the 1st one. and i feel honored to be part of that in a country grappling with an ongoing civil war. opportunities for young people can

be scarce, shelah andrew, co founder and mickey as far hope they can provide a positive outlet for pent up frustrations for the girls need more attention on different type of extreme sports. so that's why the project is important for us. so there are a lot of girls in the streets with no jobs, and a lot of girls who needs more activities to be busy on than spending their time in that areas doing bad things. so we give them time here to teach them how to skateboard we've helped me to defeat my 1st and to not give her anything about what we perceive on so satellites of me, greek, a girl and doing says stuff, which is a lot. so something norm one afforded best a site, but oh it's, i just enjoyed it's. it's just, it makes me happy, kevin, do this. i can explain it. in this cognitive,
