[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah, this is d, w is coming to live from berlin, ukraine on high alert for a round of fresh attacks from russia. u. s. intelligence report say that moscow is planning to strike civilian areas in ukraine,

in retaliation for the killing of done, you do geena, the daughter of a close to teen ally. kia denies it had anything to do with her death. also coming up shopping for energy transfer, all of sholtes is in canada to firm up access to new energy supplies. germany is racing to fees. it's dependence on russian oil and gas before winter sets it and the daily struggle to get water in south africa. the country faces severe water shortages due to an ongoing drought and leaky pipes make the problem even worse. plus record rain poll and parts of the united states causes severe flooding with many drought stricken regions. being hit hardest ah hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. fears are growing in ukraine that russia

will retaliate with fresh attack chapter a car bombing that killed daria de geena, the daughter of a well known russian nationalist and close putin. ally u. s. intelligence has also issued a warning of expected strikes in the coming days. moscow blames key of for the attack. doris father alexander dugeon, spoke of his daughter's memorial ceremony. he has long advocated violence to achieve the unification of russian speaking territories. newton stated earlier that ukraine had, quote, savagely killed his daughter, and he called for revenge. he of his denied any involvement in the blast which happened near moscow on saturday. this video shared by russian security services claims a female ukrainian special services contractor was behind a car bomb attack that killed journalist daria de geena on the outskirts of moscow on saturday. they say the alleged ukrainian woman moved to russia last month and had followed miss gina in

a mini krupa. she then escaped to estonia after the blast, but ukrainian officials are denying the accusations as propaganda. good bridger ukraine surely doesn't have anything to do with the explosion because we're not a criminal state and not a terrorist state regional gazelle. but mr. gain is killing has also sparked wider speculation. the national republican army, an unknown group, is also claiming responsibility for the attack in a statement read by a former russian law maker and now host of a ukrainian on my new show. the group threatened more attacks on people with connections to the kremlin. daria to gain a, died at the scene after an explosive device installed in her toyota land cruiser went off, and the car caught fire analyst, believe her father alexander duke, and may have been the target. dugan was meant to travel in the car, but reportedly later changed his mind. both dugan and his daughter were on their

way to moscow after they attend a cultural festival. alexander dougen is a staunch ally of president vladimir putin and a far right philosopher and author. his daughter was also a prominent member of the ultra nationalist movement to supporting russia's invasion of ukraine. meanwhile, president person paid tribute to me is due gainer, calling her death a vile and cruel crime shall. while ago i spoke to dw correspondent roman gone to ranko in chia, i asked him whether it rushes allegations, blaming ukrainian woman for digging his killing were credible. well, one should be very careful with any information coming from russia, especially from russian. i secret services and am, if we are talking about the speed of the investigation. this is something which is very astonishing. we haven't seen in the recent years, maybe am crimes in russia being investigated just within ours. and i'm evidence

presented on russian television. so um, it is still very on sided the whole, the whole case seems very strange. i from here in key, if no russia is accusing you are crying a country which is at war with and m a. russia is presenting a possible evidence. ukraine is denying and dragging himself the father of the victim is calling for vain calling for victory over ukraine. the next strange thing is how a quick president putin reacted. he am sent his condolences and awarded a medal to the victim saying she was a russian patriot. and the russian propaganda is also, i'm running hyde to call for strikes against give and this is something which also struggle a looks strange for observers. here. it would be very advice of ukrainian government if ukraine is behind us to do such an attack on the eve of the ukrainian independence day, which is on august 24th. so

a ukraine would know that russia would, could retaliate for that and, and bring many people in danger. and it is very unwise to kill such a person a just a few days before leave you mention it about the possibility of retaliation. how concerned is the government in kia that russia may indeed use his version of events surrounding to get his death to strike it? ukraine? well, those concerns are growing by the hour. i'm just a few days ago. you can in president zalinski warned that russia might be up to something bigger than before. ah, we have reports that the government officials are urged to stay home not to walk in the government quarter. the public transports the will run only until 21 hours or there will be no celebration electric and, and used to see in the past 31 years on this day, which is very special. so there are grave concerns that concerns and there are also reports in the media that western media than russia that russia might strike the

ukrainian capital key. if something we haven't seen for many, many weeks and the government quarter was not under attack since the russian invasion began. so it's very tense, extremely tense situation here, here in key. if you can really feel that in the roman, thank you very much. shar correspondent, roman, gone to ranko there in keith was situation inside russia is becoming more tense for high profile opponents of the war in ukraine. intellectuals, artists, and television visitors who speak out have been targeted by authorities. musicians are banned from giving concerts and some have been forced to leave the country or refused re entry. d. w. correspond at uri were chateau, is in latvia where he met up with a ukrainian pop star, now banned from performing in russia. ah, a sea of lights amongst the audience, enrica,

we have come to see ukrainian singer svetlana lobo done my history in my homeland ukraine is currently going through a big, dreadful, unjust war. ah, in the fit lana lava used to live in moscow. she had millions of russian fans, but at the end of february, she publicly spoke out against russia's war on ukraine and turned head back on the country. yeah, i want to be on the right side of history on the side of good and truth. moscow's response was swift lobrado was prohibited from entering russia for 50 years. that is just one of many examples of how moscow punishes permanent people, who publicly criticize of the policies of the kremlin. singers actors and divvy hosts had been forced to leave russia. those who stay risk persecution or

harassment like aloe vera from you got hearing bork. with the bens, the singer, vera was sale on the used to be married to a well known rational position politician who's currently in custody because of his open auntie was dance. she herself, has publicly protested against moscow's policies and is suffering the consequences . ah, now said last night, our concerts are being banned. we get suddenly removed from the festival lineup. sometimes people just ring up a few hours before a performance and tell us that we can't play the more serious the political situation and russia becomes the more openly, the authorities been our concerts the desolate and said, no one is officially blacklisted. but the names of musicians seen as undesirable

a tear in the media, rushes low house of parliament is now going one step further. it glance to punish officials who employ or engage such critics as they even included the hat of russia channel one and the bolshevik director. julia, these are civil servants are on the wrong side of history. we want to bring them to reason that i was me. ah svetlana lobel da is convinced that she's on the right side. she, thanks her fans into your, for their support. what, what about have hands in russian sta some not an russia has gone badly astray. your new which, which is at a town is a man who led the country in the wrong direction for you to thought. and as long as people there don't grasp that. and you play with me as, as now, nothing good will come of this country with this plan with and until then

performances like this will only be possible outside of russia. ah, german chancellor, olive schultz is on a visit to canada with the goal of expanding berlin's energy supplies. germany is trying to and its dependence on russian gas as winter approaches. canada currently surprised little of its fossil fuel energy to europe. both countries are looking to expand the partnership though and in the long run transition to more sustainable fuel he's on a shopping trip, but there's nothing here to buy. at least not yet. chancellor olive shoals is in canada looking for new energy suppliers, as germany reduces its reliance on russia. we are working hot to become independent of disgust supply, and we are doing a lot of investments to make it happen. and we are doing it as fast as ever

possible. never such an infrastructure has been built in germany and that a short time and other canada has lots of natural gas. but currently few ways to exported to germany or prime minister just intruder only promised to remove regulation to speed up for a future gas exports. so we are in a situation in the short term where we will do what we can to contribute to the global supply of energy by increasing our capacities in the short term and explore ways to see if it makes sense to export l n g. and if there's a business case for it to export l n g directly to europe. so no gas for now, but may be later. another option, the chancellor is chasing. so cold, green hydrogen, canada is renewable power, could be harnessed to create it. the german leaders to it will continue with

a visit to a remote town in canada as far northeast, where green hydrogen technology development is underway. spoke earlier to d. w. cheap political corresponding melinda crane. i asked her if the german chancellor went to canada looking for gas, but essentially failed to secure a new supply to get his country through the winter. that's pretty much the bottom line. although prime minister trudeau didn't say a flat out, no, we heard him. they're saying very politely that canada would look into it, but that certainly doesn't solve germany's short term problem. as you said, the government has been working especially the environment and economics minister tirelessly to try to find alternative sources to rush and gas. and amongst their efforts is as the chancellor said, now commissioning new infrastructure floating terminals to receive liquefied

natural gas on germany's northern coast. but where is that gas to come from? this is now the 3rd in a series of gas diplomacy, visits that included cut, tar, norway and now canada. and in all 3 cases, the german government has essentially gotten a rush off. and this is a very crucial problem for germany. not simply the question of how does it keep it? citizens warm in the coming winter, but how does it fuel its industrial power house? many of germany's big industrial companies, companies that account for a lot of this country's exports do rely on natural gas as a source. so this gas diplomacy is critical, but certainly the short term problem is not solved yet. ok, guess is one part of this saw berlin and ottawa though are also looking at long term energy projects. later today, transfer sholtes and prime minister trudeau will visit a proposed hydrogen production site in new foundland. what is germany hoping for

their melinda? well, many people see this green hydrogen, which is basically hydrogen produced with renewable energy sources like solar, wind as a possible alternative to gasoline. but in the longer term here to there are major infrastructural challenges that need to be solved by the way. that of course, was quite friend, minister to those cited in saying that sending gas from counted as west to the east to export it to europe is probably simply too expensive. well, certainly in the case of hydrogen as well, the infrastructure is complicated and expensive. some gas infrastructure could be re purpose to transport hydrogen, but we're looking at a much longer term solution. the so called energy partnership for the future that canada and germany will agree today to today would not even begin to activate until 2025. so again, it's not a short term problem, it may be

a very useful longer term way to de carbonized these countries economies. but again, chancellor schultz has some other big, short term challenges he needs to solve. my new, thank you very much. our chief political correspondent melinda cray, is a quick look at some other stories making headlines around the world today. former u. s. president donald trump has asked a federal judge to temporarily block the f. b i from reviewing material it sees from his florida estate. he's asking for a special appointee to oversee the review. yep. b, i search of the mar logo resort was part of an investigation into whether trump illegally took classified documents from the white house. finished prime minister son m marine has tested negative in a drought drug test, which she took to en speculation over her private life. marine defended her right to enjoy her free time. after the publication about video showing her celebrating at a private party,

she said her capacity to work had not been impaired. almost on this, this italian coast guard has rescued the crew and passengers of a luxury yacht which sank in the mediterranean, off the coast of catanzaro marina. the yacht came into difficulty 15 kilometers from the coast. all 9 people on board were saved. it was not immediately known what caused the yacht to sink it's world water weekend. unprecedented droughts have heat waves and heat waves have put water scarcity in sharp focus worldwide. more than 2000000000 people lacked access to clean water and water. scarce regions suffer from acute hunger, poor sanitation and disease. south africa is on the front line 4 years ago. cape town feared it's worse, it's water would run out now. but now another city further east is facing. that problem are correspond adrian creek reports from tobacco. formerly port elizabeth

in eastern cape. it's going through an extreme water shortage. not a drop in the tip in simple kazi tim bonnie's house for 7 months. now, the supply has run dry. the arrival of the water truck bring some relief, but tim bonnie knows that it also spills hot water. she has to carry the water all the way home for herself and her 4 grandchildren. yet or not, i know you are getting sick because of carrying this water every day. my jones hurt, i have body pains, i have to take painkillers to sleep or go to the clinic, especially furth, elderly people. the situation is painful, said he thank close with that. is that sad, cruel? this dam should provide water for her home, but it's almost empty. it's only filled to less than 15 percent of its capacity.

only 4 percent is usable water rainfall is getting more and more sporadic and it isn't as heavy as it used to be. for 7 years, the area has been in the grip of a historic droughts. but while climate change certainly plays a role mismanagement, decaying infrastructure and a lack of maintenance, certainly due to it, is estimated that about one 3rd of the water supply are lost due to leaking pipes. the scale of the problem is clear to see all over town. residents report about 200 leagues every day. the city has employed additional staff for repair walks, and new wealth are being drilled. ground water is supposed to help black the gap that the missing rain water has left the head of water distribution for the municipalities says. but why didn't all this happen much earlier? the, quite a number of reasons. i some of them, it's financial arrangements are obviously from the study, the point of view we have the competing player is from

a service delivery perspective. and in some of is a vs financial resources director to other projects. lot of people. we talked to actually blame lumens of healthy for the current situation. at this point in time, my focus is to be able to deliver the metro and push the day 0. and. busy our efforts, you know, according to our 3rd day 0, that's the day when all water reserves will be used up the worst case scenario. to avoid it, each resident is supposed to use no more than 15 liters of water per day, with a municipality threatening to impose strict controls. in the poor neighborhood of civil kazi, tim bonnie, people feel they have been given empty promises for months. even the water truck that is a lifeline for so many isn't organized by the municipality. it comes from an 8 organization called gift of the give us a willingness to police. i blame the municipality, but asked the politicians when it is time to campaign for votes, you find a lot of them here asking for votes,

but when the time comes to deliver services to the people, they are nowhere to be found. when we need water, they are nowhere to be found like our cold see because it and bonnie has given up hope in politics. her only remaining hope that rain may fall soon, so she will get a break from the hard work of fetching water. humans obviously need water as do all living things. earlier i spoke to lon one alonzo, and she's a researcher at the stock home resilience center where she studies the role of water for the world ecosystems. i asked her if she thinks it's possible for us to use all the water we need in a sustainable way without wrecking the planet. yes, i think the question, i would turn it around. i think we tend to think a washer as to what we use for drinking or washing, but human needs water. beyond that, we need water cycle to keep our agriculture going. when is

a water to stay in the same ways with our infrastructure design? ah, i can keep that way and we also need a land system to continue to absorb carbon and not release it. so all of these needs must be balanced. are we know ways to use water without degrading or producing heat. and we have the means to stop destabilizing water cycle through climate change and deforestation. so say that we're not competitors with a pin at planet. we're living symbiosis. and our fate is so tight, the planet that we, we simply cannot fulfill our knees. if we wrap the planet, so it goes hand in hand. you warn, though, that human interference in the water cycle like we're seeing now could result in the biosphere losing its resilience. what does that mean exactly? yes, so for example, we see that in the amazon that is to ham increasingly dryer. so the trees that are dying and trying that very bad at generating bang for it and capturing carbon missions. so they are, are such a speak,

stop box or be carbon. and instead in making within the next 2 decades and it is happening, fax, them a per resources is a very good example of a base feel loosing. it's re lance in less academic language. we could perhaps say that ecosystem, the news, the resilience are similar to people that have a worsening health. so they've become more valuable to perturbation such as a bad drought about flu than human case and less capable to recover after such an event. ok, so the water cycle is absolutely essential to maintain. do you see sufficient action there being taken by humans to sustain the water cycle as we know it short answer. unfortunately, not all we're still had into us is free degrees, warmer word, which will rack on the earth. what a psycho for example. so we need to clearly do much more to face out the greenhouse gas emissions, prevent deforestation, and protect our ecosystem that to help maintain the water side go and serve us it

well in many ways. so what would you recommend right now that the world needs to do most urgently to address this problem? yes, there are not one thing, but we need to act on all this human pressures quite quickly. bosom climate change, an ecosystem protection and our management in agriculture, we want to move fast since we don't trigger the kind of cells amplifying feedback to proceed in the amazon. for example, the wind i mentioned to we want to it's how the boys to continue to help absorb cobrin by thy release in it so that the quantity won't be all friends. why then our pho, there will be devastating. ok, thank you so much. that was like one l insulin researcher at the stock home resilience center or some parts of the world struggle with a severe lack of water. other regions face the devastating effects of too much water brought by extreme downpours in the united states. heavy rain and flash flooding had been causing chaos,

and parts of the south and south west with hundreds of people forced to evacuate. the state of texas has been particularly hard hit with record breaking rainfall in dallas from a historic drought to flash floods. the united states southwest is seeing a dramatic shift in extreme weather here in utah, muddy water, inundated straits and shops, while in new mexico national parks were evacuated, texas. so some of the heaviest rain flooding downtown dallas firefighters battled the raging water to rescue trapped residence. there got a hold of me, they come and rescue me with logan law, have already rigor out. how to do it with the current. so wrong role. there my whole you, you kill want you way. parts of the u. s. have been in a prolonged drought, but sudden down paused,

don't help. the water runs off the hot, dry ground, often making flooding even more severe. climate change is making these extreme weather events more frequent. and the u. s. government response to recent natural disasters has been repeatedly criticized as inadequate. already, inundated the southwest states are bracing for more rain later this week. so inter sit nasa have released new images of the planet jupiter. they're describing the pictures as providing. never seen detail of the biggest planet in the solar system. the show jupiter's famous, great red spots shown here and white as well as faint rings around the planet. the images were originally photographed in infrared and then colorized afterwards. they were taken by the james web telescope, which was launched into space last year. st. reminder,

the top stories were following for you this, our u. s. intelligence says russia is preparing attacks on civilian areas in ukraine in the coming days. kia was also on high alert after the killing of doria debina, the daughter of a russian or line nationalist. russia blames ukraine for her death with kia, has denied any involvement. and german chancellor of schultz is in canada, meeting his counterpart to discuss expanding their countries energy partnership. germany hopes to boost gas supplies as it tries to end its dependence on russia. i'm terry martin up next. it's a go africa, thanks for with
