ah ah ah ah ah, this is dw news. why from berlin? britain gets its 4th prime minister in 6 years. the queen formally invite, lays cross to form a government. o find out what changes she's likely to bring in that home and abroad . now that boris johnson is gone, also coming up on the show key reports,

3 civilians dead in eastern ukraine. a city center apartment building as among the targets in hoc shift as brush and shelling, shakes the region. but you praying claims progress in its counter offensive in the south from him. his up the door on today we are receiving a final warning. chile words from the view at about water and food shortages in somalia, where drought and conflict have combined to leave half the population facing extreme hunger. ah. hello, i am claire richardson, a very warm welcome to the show. was truss has taken office as the u. k. a new prime minister as follows, the resignation of her predecessor, boris johnson. a trust has met with the queen who formally invited her to form

a government. the new prime minister is immediately faced with the pressing task of strengthening the economy. as the u. k. vases, a cost of living prices, labor unrest, and soaring energy prices. earlier we spoke to our correspondent barbara vessel in london, and we asked her why the transfer of power has taken so long and what challenges await prime minister live trust in the coming months. yeah, yeah, it's taken to month and it was agony. people were saying, we have a zoom, the government, we have no government at all. where in the rest of europe at governments, we're getting ready and talking about how to, whether the energy crisis is what matters to take against that bar. johnson was sort of having one vacation off to the other and he didn't really care about. instead of doing his job and dining street anymore. so this process is really under tremendous pressure now to sort of keep up and very quickly try to prepare the country. this is already september. come october, a things will get a series and people and households he really will need help. 11000000 people are

supposed to fall into energy poverty from the next months on, if nothing is done to really help them. so yes, the pressure is on for her and she will have really have to prove what she's up to that extremely difficult job. and for more on this, i'd like to bring in a contract king's a member of the german parliament for the conservative c d u party. thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us. it's no secret that relations between the u. k. and the e were difficult with boris johnson as prime minister, do you see the possibility of a more constructive relationship with a government that's led by live trust? so i don't think i heard the 1st part of the question, but i can kind of guess what you're asking and it's certainly still that the relationships could be better. we have to rebuild it after breaks it. but also your pest to accept that record happens, and i don't expect a big change in this relationship because of the new prime minister because he was

responsible for you with a relation in the last month and as a response. so i, i think we have a more continuity, but of course it would be better to move closer together in the physical fun. yeah, looking back to breck said a largely unwelcome development here in germany. we should say a live trust was 1st a supporter of the remain side, keeping the u. k in the european union. but after the referendum, she did a $180.00 degree turn fully embrace bracket. what is that you to make of her as a prime minister? we have to accept the politicians also some times change their priority sources, change their positions. i've learned that she started the year with wonderful, boldest monarchy. and now she could support by your majesty. so things might change and i think it's not the only one of the people that want to remain petition want to remain the afterwards accept the results. and i think this is nothing we should criticize and we should look forward backward and try to really make our

relationship closer. we see that the exports from germany to britain, vice versa, are rather declining. and we should try to move closer together economically. but ultimately, some security policy, because these are difficult times and we should do it. that's gonna get a sense of how likely you think that really will be as foreign minister. let's try with a champion of carrying out part of the breakfast deal with the you. she's promised to get that legislation passed as prime minister. do you think she's really going to go ahead with that now that she is prime minister? i accepted it may not very likely in the i mean with you will just policies the last the last month. maybe be likely that you will follow a rather strict course or course, which is more and took a mystic. but i think in the long run, the given this really big economic crisis, this high rate of inflation and great britain,

she don't eventually don't have another choice than to move or make the change to position one question to change. it's another time. and how do you expect germany, excuse me, the e u and the u. k. to work together to combat what are soaring energy prices? i think it's very important to stick together that we don't try to take benefit of the other. the only focus on our own national position because i think we have to stay together also in this energy crisis situation, it's more like a come out of this better and stronger. so i hope that people not only remain within the room but beyond because we have more to gain from sticking together contract claim number, if the german parliament, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us on d w. you're welcome. will ukraine us as a 3 civilians are among the latest victims of rush and shelling in the east of the

country. it's 2nd largest city. harkey has also come under fire, and much of the fighting is currently focused on the east bought ukraine is reporting advances in its counter offensive in the south. it's as it has reclaimed territory, their heat by rockets again and again. hockey is ukraine's 2nd largest city. it's position in the east near the russian border. has made it a target throughout the wall. there was an explosion on dar apartment shook pieces of tile hit my child's back on the ceiling collapsed on my head. very thick smoke immediately filled the room. we wanted to get ice, but our door was blocked. it was blown into the corridor. ha, ha ha, keeps governor said rescue as a still searching through the rubble for survivors of the attack on this apartment

building in the city center. several people were killed in all the strikes in the region and air raid sirens rang throughout ukraine on tuesday morning. but in the countries south cave says it's successfully pushing back. ukrainian troops launched a counter offensive last week and say they have already re gain tarrot tree. this video appears to show soldiers raising a ukrainian flag in a small town in the house on region that had been held by russia since early on in the wall. our correspondent and keith is nick connelly. he told us earlier about ukraine's counter offensive in the south. the reporting on this story is very, very difficult. we've had her countless ukraine. she was coming and telling us that they needed quietly business. the press and the population are in ukraine to basically not demand much no data from them until they achieve their goal. but we can tell from people who still on the ground locals who stayed on the rush

occupation from pro russian bloggers who sometimes go bit further than the rush of a line. this is definitely an intensification of the ukraine campaign hall fronts, whereas previously in effect sonya his shooting mainly at night. now it's all day long. we've seen reports overtaxed on russian weapons depos on logistics hubs, on the bridges across from her. so those are the new pro river, because if to remember here, this space here, a russian outpost on the western bank, the deeper river, those russian troops are very dependent on supplies coming across the river in terms of food, in terms of ammunition. so ukraine's kind of short term goal now is to push them back from that part of the river, the most vulnerable russian position in the south ukraine. and it seems like they are doing quite a good job, but really making those interesting, more difficult. we've seen time, tom again, the bridges being hit, pontoons being destroyed and the russian forces having to pull out all the stops to be able to function at all. they connolly reporting. let's take a look now at some other stories making headlines around the world to day. a

powerful typhoon has hit south korea, leaving at least 2 people dead and 10, missing. thousands have been forced to evacuate typhoon hinted, nor battered the south of the country and left thousands of homes without electricity. the storm has now moved back out to sea and is expected to pass north west of japan. rescue workers are searching for hundreds of people, still stranded by a 6.8 magnitude earthquake. that struck southwestern a china on monday. at least 65 people are confirmed dead. the quakes that off lance lives in a mountainous area on the edge of the tibetan plateau. canadian police as they one of the suspects in a series of fatal stabbings has been found dead. they are still searching for his brother who may be injured. the 2 are accused of killing 10 people and injuring 18 in the province of saskatchewan. it's one of the deadliest attacks in canada's history. and irish regulators have find instagram over 400000000 dollars

for breaching rules on the handling of children's data investigation into the social network opened in 2020 and found that some contact details of children were public. instagram plans to appeal to fine and israel and germany's presidents have laid remembrance wreaths at berlin's holocaust memorial. israel's isaac hats aug and germany's frank fall to shine meyer visited the site after hats aug, addressed the parliament in berlin. he's in germany as part of commemorations marking the 50th anniversary of munich olympics massacre on monday, germany apologize for miss handling the murders in 1972 in which 11 israeli t members were killed in an attack by palestinian militants as speaking to the german parliament hertz are urged both countries to fight antisemitism together and not to forget the past say me, observed, aha, we love whether we wanted or not. the memory of the showa is a deep part of our identity as a nation. go on a story, shall

a people who carries in its historic memory such a dark, abysmal impossible experience is not a people like all peoples call them mother. and despite all of this, even if we cannot meet in the realms of memory, we must meet in the realms of meaning and mutual learning body damage. to give meaning to the memory classical, to treat memory as an obligatory imperative. as a moral imperative. as responsibility layer, let's bandido his chief, political correspondent for more melinda crane has been following president hertz ox visit to germany and melinda israel and germany tied together by remembrance. now that seemed to be the light motif of hertzog visit. it was indeed in fact, he called remembrance the most important command that the bible has in it, except for the command to love thy neighbor. but his emphasis on remembrance was

not as an end in itself, but as a path to responsibility and explaining that he paid a very, moving tribute to his father, who in fact, was the 1st israel president to speak to the blandest tug in 1987, and also was a british officer who helped to liberate the nazi concentration camp baglan belsen and president hertzog described his father's words in connection with his experiences. they are at bargain bells and his father said that no one can forgive except for the dead. but the living have a duty to remember and that that is not easy, that it's complex and painful for both sides, for germans as well as for israelis. and he said, for president hartzog in his speech this morning, there are those who want to draw a line under our past and leave it behind. but remembrance is

a judy because it creates responsibility for the future responsibility to future generations. responsibility to ensure that these crimes cannot happen again. and that is of course, part of the reason why germany and israel have a special relationship today. can you talk to me about the state of ties between the 2 remembrance and responsibility were a big subject not only in the speech by president outside, but also in the speech of the president of the buddhist toggle boss who talked about the fact that 70 years ago when germany 1st agreed to pay reparations to israel, there were many, many citizens of germany. and in fact, many people sitting in the bundle, talk at that time, who did not think that was the right thing to do, who did not want to remember? and she talked about the responsibility of that, then chancellor conrad add an hour and his leadership in bringing germany along to

a sense of responsibility. and she emphasized that as the president, how talk as did german president stine mar yesterday, in his remarks at a memorial ceremony for the israeli athletes killed 50 years ago in munich at the 1972 olympics. all of them emphasizing responsibility because in fact, there are many now in germany who do believe that it's time to draw a line under the past yearly one. and 2 germans in a recent study said that they felt germany could leave this past behind. and a majority said that they do not see a responsibility, a special duty of germany to the israeli state. and that is in direct contravention of course of the words that we heard today from the israeli president. but also the principles of many, many german leaders and the president of the bonus tag said, part of the responsibility is to counter semitism in this country. what she said is

not an extreme phenomenon on the margins of society, but in fact, often at the very centre, i had also bringing up a geo politics. i, specifically a ron's nuclear ambitions, were front and center. i'm speaking in parliament hertz, all calls on german lawmakers to stop iran from getting a nuclear bomb and said tara is ineligible for nuclear deal. what is germany's position here? germany is closely aligned with the european union, and it's a foreign policy representative. jose, jose berto has been pushing hard for a re entry of iran into the nuclear agreement, signed in 2015 as a means of averting what he has called nuclear catastrophe. but he also acknowledge recently that he is somewhat less hopeful about the prospects of that happening now than he was even a month or so ago. and certainly president hertzog saying today that he sees it as

part of germany's responsibility to the state of israel to prevent iran, which he says is a country bent on israel's destruction from moving on with its nuclear program. so a clear challenge there to germany, that is part of its responsibility. it should follow the israeli line, but that has not been the german line so far. you know, the chief political correspondent melinda crane. thank you so much for that update . mo, the united nations says that in the 1st half of this year alone or then $700.00 children have died in nutrition centers across somalia. the country is now on the brink of famine, almost 8000000 people. that's about half the population are facing a crisis, hunger levels. the worst hit area is the by region in the south. the u. n says that barring a massive influx of assistance, that region is likely to see a full scale family in coming months, southern somalia,

this is what the worst drought in decades looks like. people displaced by climate change and conflict. their only source of water is this distribution center in a displaced persons camp. the united nations humanitarian agency has been sounding the alarm for some time. i been shocked to my call these past few days. by the level of pain and suffering, we see so many somalis, enduring famine is out the door. and to day we are receiving a final warning. it's been for failed rainy seasons in a row. and now the u. n says a 5th one is on the way, but the problems in somalia run even deeper decades of civil conflict, mass displacement,

and one of the lowest standards of living in the world. what's happening in the horn of africa is a threat to a way of life, which is sustained families and communities for generations. it's not just a lack of rain for full seasons. for many families, it's an end to the way they've lived. a search and food prices worldwide, and a grain shortage triggered by the war and ukraine have made the situation worse. this entire region is on the brink of extreme hunger, waiting in vain for the drought to end. and i can speak in more detail now with patrick wilson with the united nations world food program. he's based in nairobi and just back from neighboring smalley. i thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us on. this is a devastating forecast of a full scale fannin who is this going to affect the most so it's going to affect the most vulnerable 1st and that is young children. it is the elderly,

it is those living with disabilities, it is those who been internally displaced by conflict, but also now by this terrible right across 4 consecutive seasons. and what is your organization doing to help us pay? we've been saying for months we cannot wait for a declaration of famine because we know from the past, by then we'll be too late in 2011. the last major famine in somalia claimed more than a quarter 1000000 lives. half of the people who passed away had died before the official declaration and we haven't been waiting. we've scaled up our assistance or food and nutrition assistance in somalia to the highest levels ever be more than doubled. the number of people we've, we've reached from april, true to july, but it's imperative right now that we are able, that we get the funding,

the resources to maintain and further increase that scale up. because as we heard martin griffith say, just yesterday, we are in the last minutes of the 11th hour. we have to stop this, right? and just to get a sense of what you are up against, as, as you personally travel the region, what are you seeing and hearing from families and from health workers there? yeah, yeah, sorry. i mean, it's absolutely heartbreaking. i was in the my read, sorry, i was in the side for a state which is where the by region is in my last mission that and you know, you all going through camps that are growing larger by the day the people fleeing from dry desperately seeking humanitarian assistance, i've spoken to to mothers with children just waiting in line to try and get some of the life saving assistance. vale, telling us about either family members who have stayed behind or children who just haven't been able to be strong enough, the journey. and to deliver along the way,

this is truly a desperate situation. the time to act is right now, cruelly. we are seeing the effects of climate change hitting those least responsible for us as we are in many other parts of the world, with even more catastrophic weather events forecast for to come up on the horizon. do you think that hers way of life can survive what needs to be done to help future generations survive in this kind of environment? yeah, i mean, again, mr. griffith spoke to this yesterday, but another part of the work that we as of the pay have been doing in somalia. the other agencies dealing with the government with local communities is working on resilience because you're right. the pastoral is lobby hits in particular are so badly affected by these climate shot. the all recurrent, this is and then usually of the turn that somalia is very prone to drank floods, tropical storms, keep company. so it's so important that the sustainable long term solutions we are

working with government, with communities to help some of these build ways of life. the more resilient against the shocks, petro wilson in nairobi with the un world food program. thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us. thank you. now synagogue buys half of its wheat from russia and 6 per cent from ukraine, but the ongoing war has hampered those imports and cent price is rising. as prompted a push in senegal for more locally sore cereals, and that's given farmers and local business owners a boost. in this region of western senegal, most farmers cultivate millet, a local high protein grain eaten for breakfast and supper. traditionally, farmers have kept the grain for domestic use, but now there is a push to expand production in a way that will benefit local economies and reduce reliance on wheat, regional agricultural associations and a local n g o are providing training and equipment to farmers like the gong may, sorry,

they have also encouraged him to switch to organic farming mancha new younger. i'm seeing all the advantages before we were using chemical fertilizers, but it's expensive. and now i also know that it's toxic. and with the new method, there are higher yields and fewer expenses than organic fertilizers last longer in the ground. and got, and even when you have 2 types of crops, it's efficient for both in the improve yield has enabled the gung me to better provide for his family. the mill it sold by farmers like him, is bought by bakeries and other businesses in the community, including by entrepreneurs such as our d up. she is now using locally sourced millet and may is to make her fritters rather than imported wheat removal. and then look on that for her from i couldn't go back to wrinkle clients, have started to appreciate a 1000000 fritters ovens of alums will time known for melodically, but we'll move with our tradition on women millison mays. i replaceable heard

a locked in is also easy to digest them wheat flour, one of them. but one big question is whether people in cities and other parts of senegal would also be happy to switch from week to cereals such as millet. many single leaves prefer wheat baguettes of the type sold in this bakery. the government is encouraging bakers to use local cereals because as the price of wheat rises, so to do the subsidies that they pay, this bakery is making gradual changes. but convincing customers here remains a challenge, the font size among the informa. i think there's still a lack of information. we're trying to sensitize people to say it's good for them. is it? and every time we explain this, it could be on the consumption. increased calm is big off. some one, when i started, emma called it represented only 2 to 3 percent of the total sales will be for example, today it's a 20 percent for my objective is to reach 50 percent of sales for bread made with local serial work. we're not going where i think i'm too far because we're from the

theorem. look on shifting away from weed to decrease food dependency is something bakers are determined to do even beyond synagogue representatives from 8 other countries in west africa recently came to dakar for the launch of a confederation of west african bakeries of a go lucky because with the crisis in ukraine, them, we thought there's a need to find alternative solutions today, bringing bakers from west africa as a 1st year and decor. every new bully. what does the need for synergy? we want west africa to wake up if we want to make commercial exchanges. luckily, if i want banana flower for synagogue, if it is, i can import it from the ivory coast and if an ivory and wants millet flower, he will import it from niger or synagogue, and that's the purpose anybody. and he will, i find the medieval empathy, new new shields, and they go, as well as other whether the use of local serials will reach its full potential, remains to be seen. eating habits are slow to change. the hope is that at some

point, the country will be able to reduce its reliance on imported wheat. here watching the w needs coming up next in d, w. news, asia, fuel price hike protests erupt, and indonesia cutting subsidies back fire on the government. and putting your life savings into building a home just to have it washed away. pakistan's millions of homeless, plugged victims and more is coming up next on the east asia with my colleague benefits. and of course it's always more on our website, w dot com. i'm claire richardson for lynn. thank you so much for watching. ah, ah. with
