5:31 pm
as soon as it begins. so please stick with us for now though, let's look to ukraine and the united nations at nuclear watchdog, as calling for a security zone to be established around ukraine's embattled operation nuclear power plants. the i. e. s. as the current situation is untenable. this after a team of its experts visited the site last week to assess the damage and conditions for the workers there. since russian troops took control of the facility early in the war cave and moscow have accused each other of risking a radiation disaster by shelley near the site. meanwhile, ukraine, it says 3 civilians are among the latest victims of russian missile attacks. here the eastern city of harkins, ukraine's a 2nd largest city has seen constant shelling since the start of the conflict heat by rockets again and again. how keith is ukraine's 2nd largest city, its position in the east near the russian border, has made it
5:32 pm
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 us still searching through the rubble for survivors of the attack on this apartment building in the city center. several people were killed in other 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 regained territory. this video appears to show soldiers raising a ukrainian flag in
5:33 pm
a small town in the house on region that had been held by russia since early on in the wall or correspondent in cave. as nick connelly, he told us earlier about ukraine's counter offensive in the south. the reporting on the 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 goals. but what we can tell from people who still on the ground locals who stayed on the rush occupation from through bloggers who sometimes go bit farther than the rush of his line. this is definitely an intensification of the ukrainian campaign all fronts. whereas previously didn't have sonya his shooting mainly at night. now it's all day long. we've seen reports of attacks on russian weapons depose 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 pro river,
5:34 pm
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 are 6 more difficult. we've seen time time again, the bridges being hit, pontoons being destroyed and the russian force we're having to pull out all the stops to be able to function tool. economy reporting. let's look now to senegal. it buys half of its wheat from russia and 6 percent from ukraine. the ongoing war has hampered those imports and sent prices rising. and that's prompted a push in senegal for more locally sore cereals. and that at least has given farmers and local business owners a boost in this region of western synagogue. most farmers cultivate millet, a local high protein grain eaten from breakfast and supper. traditionally, farmers have kept the grain for domestic use, but now there is
5:35 pm
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 megan may sar, they have also encouraged him to switch to organic farming mancha, and you the alaska, 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. when the improved yield has enabled the gung need 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 are what d up. she is now using locally sourced milk and made to make her fritters rather
5:36 pm
than imported wheat. moving oklahoma from i couldn't go back to wrinkle clients, have started to appreciate a 1000000 fringes of our lives will time known for melodic to the with our tradition, i'm with them. millison mays not replaceable head. a locked in is also easy to digest them. wheat flour in upon by, 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 with bonsai 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 increase. the form is big off from one. when i
5:37 pm
started a mock on it represented only 2 to 3 percent of the total sales will be, for example, today it's at 20 percent. my objective is to reach 50 percent of sales for bread made with local serial work. well, not even where i think on for far because we'll go from the theorem locally. 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 available like the the credit with the crisis in ukraine building. 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 was a need for synergy. we want west africa to wake up. we want to make commercial exchanges. luckily, if i want banana flower for synagogue. if it is, if i can import it from the ivory coast and if an ivory and wants millet flower, he will import it from niger or synagogue. but that's the purpose. anybody. and he
5:38 pm
will find a mini, well, with the new the new shields and they go off is either 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. to pakistan. now, where authorities in the south of the country are trying everything they can to prevent pakistan's largest lake from over flowing and swamping nearby towns, water levels on lake mansion are said to be dangerously high following record monsoon flooding satellites show the scale of disaster following a severe drought monsoon rains and melting glaciers have submerged a 3rd of pakistan. millions have lost their homes. oliver meyer visited a carpenter and his son in sind province and heard how their lives have been turned upside down by the flights. rashana lea and his son, the mom,

5:43 pm
missing. thousands have been forced to evacuate typhoon hint them, 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 china on monday. at least 65 people are confronted. the quakes that off land flights in a mountainous area on the edge of the tibetan plateau pushes and canadian police say 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 is one of the deadliest attacks in canada's history and the united nations. it says that in the 1st half of this year alone, more than $700.00 children have died in nutrition centers across somalia. the
5:44 pm
country is now on the brink of famine, almost 8000000 people. that's about half the population are facing 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 famine 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've 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
5:45 pm
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. earlier i spoke to patrick wilson from the
5:46 pm
u. n. world food program and i asked him whom the forecast family would 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 by the terrible right across 4 consecutive season. 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 done it 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. we more than doubled the number of people we've,
5:47 pm
we've reached from april through 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 mean in the side for a state, which is where the by region is in my last mission there. and you are going through camps that are growing larger by the day the people fleeing from drank desperately seeking humanitarian assistance. i've spoken to mothers with children just waiting in line to try and get some of the life saving assistance. vale telling us about
5:48 pm
either family members who've had to stay behind or children who just haven't been able to be strong enough, the journey and who have done it 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 have been doing in somalia, the other agencies doing with the government with local communities is working on resilience because you're right, the pastor, they want to be hits in particular are so badly affected by these climate shock. the all recurrent, this is and then usually of the turn that somalia,
5:49 pm
it's very crime to drank the flood tropical storms. they 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 us world food program. thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us. thank you. let's turn to the u. k. now where list cross is sat to deliver her 1st address as newly minted prime minister, after taking over from her predecessor bore us johnson. earlier to day trust met with the queen, who formally invited her to form a government. the new prime minister is immediately faced with depressing task of strengthening the economy. as the u. k. face is a cost of living crisis, labor unrest, and soaring energy prices. so those numerous challenges as new british prime minister, we heard they include spiraling inflation, skyrocketing energy prices,
5:50 pm
plus a number of crises in public services. d, w. barbara hazel has a closer look. there's not a lot of choice when fiona's making sandwiches for children, but she has to be really careful when buying food. 5 possibly even has gone up. and everything is so expensive, like the bread, the mill is going up, at least by 5 percent. it's hard when you've got a family fall, but it's not only through crisis. it bigger concern for her, her energy builds. i will not be ethan mike asked her car in the winter. and just to the fact that my gas is going to be a lot more expensive, they share not. i'm not sure if i be able to afford it up to speed, easy food that doesn't take up too much gas and electric. but how to keep the children warm once the colder weather comes, is worrying her even more. we have to wrap up in the house where extra kobe in the
5:51 pm
winter, instead of putting on the heat in a day trial, my full time. barstow starts to seem to struggle life. fiona is a fight, but she fears this coming winter things might be getting even harder for her and the children at the central london hospital. and as a shift is getting underway for the ambulance crews, every day they're bringing in more patients than the emergency room can handle, which are struggling to even get people into the doors of the i a. and we're having to treat them in the back of the ambulance. and some of these time critical illnesses like strokes, heart attacks are just simply not being seen in time. this leads to waging ambulances sticking up outside the hospital doors, in the end endangering people's lives. because of these delays a hospital, we're sitting here unable to answer the 999, cause that are coming in. i personally witness deaths where we have been to someone who might hold for chess, fame, and 12. 15 hours later,
5:52 pm
we turned out to the house and the 1st name is deceased. understaffed, underfunded and close to breaking down. these professionals are dealing with the crisis of the national health service on a daily basis. we're in the middle of the biggest staff in christ espionage, if it's ever seen in its history. on top of that, this government has no credible plan to actually fix these problems. aaron himself is doubtful whether he'll be able to carry on the job for much longer. did he out on the beach for many londoners, this means a trip to brighton. but swimmers should think again, on rainy days, raw sewage is being pumped out of this drainage pipe straight into the sea. this is victorian technology for a 150 years old. what we're experiencing in this country is a lack of investment in our infrastructure, which means these are being used on a constant regular basis. this happens across the country for years now. he and his
5:53 pm
fellow activists have been fighting against the water companies responsible for this practice. so far without success, you're surfing with all of the things that come out of paper toilet. they know you've got some 3 towers. you've got a paper and everything else that goes in with it. i know so you know, pcs as well. raw sewage on britain speeches. this is a nation that has more than one crisis on its hands. and israel and germany's presidents have laid remembrance rates at berlin's holocaust memorial. israel's isaac had sa and germany's frank vault. a shy meyer visited the site after hats, og addressed the parliament in berlin. he is in germany as part of collaborations, marking the 50th anniversary of the munich olympics massacre. on monday, germany apologize for miss handling the murders in 1972. which 11 is railey team members are killed in an attack by palestinian militants speaking to the german parliament hertz are urged both countries to fight antisemitism together and not to
5:54 pm
forget the past. baby observe a thought. vain love whether we wanted or not. the memory of the show is a deep part of our identity as a nation. alicia, a people who carries in its historic memory such a dark, abysmal impossible experience, is not a people like all peoples calling 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. to give meaning to the memory classical, to treat memory as an obligatory imperative, as a moral imperative. as responsibility are you. earlier i spoke to did others achieve clinical correspondent melinda crane. she has been following israeli present hertzog state visit to germany, and i put it to her. that remembrance seemed to be the light motive of that as s. it was indeed in fact,
5:55 pm
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 bergen 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 the president had sog in his
5:56 pm
speech this morning. there are those who want to draw a line under our past to 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 buddhist target that time. who did not think that was the right thing to do. who did not want to remember?
5:57 pm
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 dine meyer yesterday in his remarks at a memorial ceremony for the israeli athletes killed 50 years ago in munich at the 972 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 indirect contravention of course of the words that we heard today from the israeli president. but also the
5:58 pm
principles of many, many german leaders and the president of the point is talk 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 center i had like also bringing up a geo politics. as specifically a ron's nuclear ambitions were front and center. i'm speaking in parliament hertz, all called 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
5:59 pm
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 . let's get some tennis news now from the us open and 22 time grand slam champion. rafael and adult has been defeated by american tennis player francis t. f o. a 24 year old american became the 1st player to defeat it all in a major tournament. this year in what a very emotional victory telephone down to an adult in 4 sets. he also snapped it
6:00 pm
all street of 17 straight majors where he reached the quarter finals or better. and after what has been called the biggest shock of the us open here is rafael and the dial post match. yeah, going on. i saw him wish him all the very best. i had to go bag i need to fix or things life. and then i either know when i gonna, when i gonna come back i, i gonna that i to bare, ah, rarely, mentally i, when i feel that i, i will be ready to compete. again, i will, i will be the. so that's your update from the world of tennis. i'm clear, richardson in berlin, and if you're just joining us, you're watching our special programming here on d. w. news, where we'll be bringing you live trusses 1st speech as the new u. k. prime minister. as of course, as soon as it begins, so do stay with us for now we're going to turn our attention to ukraine. united nations nuclear watched.
