ah ah ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin harrigan, ian slams into florida and swamps that you west state, catastrophic flooding in update city. the power goes out for millions of residence and authorities say the worst isn't over as the storm slows but brings more rain. also coming up, we do not accept the sham referenda and any kind of annexation in

ukraine. the european union plans for the sanctions of the moscow says occupied regions of ukraine voted to join russia. and a 4th leak is detected in the ruptured north stream gas pipelines. you were bratia both say it's sabotage and what answers. scientists say it could be the biggest methane leak on wrinkled. ah, i've been fizzle and welcome. it's one of the strongest storms ever to hit the united states. harrington. he has brought catastrophic flooding to florida. authorities, warner will stay and he be even more rain on already and on dated areas. the hurricane is knocked out electricity for almost 2000000 residents. a full picture of the devastation is still emerging in has been downgraded to a cat one storm,

but while it dumps plenty of rain, nan packs, strong winds authorities scrambling to respond and a warning of a long, clean up ahead slamming into florida. hurricane e and hit the states west coast with winds of over 240 kilometers per hour. so this is a devastating storm for parts of florida, not just on the south west coast, but also inland, associated with some of these impacts. it's going to be a storm we talk about for many years to pump. it's one of the most powerful storms ever recorded in the us. the authorities have warned the pounding, rain and wind will continue as the hurricane crosses florida to the atlantic ocean . the states governor says that it could take years to recover from the devastation left behind. this is a, a major, major event. it's going to be going to be a tragic event in many ways. and we understand this is not just

a 48 hour ordeal. this is going to be something that is going to be there for days and weeks and months, and unfortunately, in some circumstances, even years. the flood waters as well as winds, are causing the most damage. the hurricane has knocked out electricity to more than 1000000 homes and businesses in the city of tampa. the power of the storm sucked the water right out of the bay. even though the hurricane weakened as it moved inland authorities are warning of devastating rain, wind, and even tornadoes still to come as it tears across the state. matthew kabuki is a meteorologist speaking to me from port charlotte, florida. he gave me this assessment of the extreme conditions. personally, i've never witnessed a storm at least 1st and isn't chance or thing right now. conditions are beginning

to die down here where we are, which is good to finally have a break. the wind and the rain and everything else. the 1st half of the storm was bad, especially for areas the port charlotte, we'll talk a naples, we're talking fort myers, other highest storm surge ever recorded at more than 22 and a half meters, which we inundated the coastline where i was, we got significant winds in the order, i'd say a 140 plus kilometers per hour implants. it's lorraine saul. then we got the i ordinarily the 2nd half of the storm is weaker. in this case it was far stronger. from a wind standpoint, we saw wind gusting close to, gosh, 172190 kilometers for our. we saw absolutely plentiful rainfall to the point where even beyond storm surge, every place that we were trying to drive through or wound was inaccessible due to extreme flooding, with rainfall rates of 5 plus to 6 perhaps centimeters per hour. it's extremely difficult situation. and now this is

a personal life. i've looked out the window and can't find a single lights anywhere. the only lights we've seen all night long. we're actually hunker down in a garage right now. are from transformers blowing. so power flashes. why was the 2nd part of the storm so strong that you know, that's something that i think we're going to be discussing for quite some time. because honestly it, it didn't really follow the textbook structure of a typical storm. we had expected this storm several days ago to be in a weakening trend towards landfall instead. this defined all lines rapidly intensifying this morning to a borderline category 5. and so many things really surprises about this. so what's the damage like the damage from what i can see is that of a miles wide. if you have 3 tornado, you have a lot of people whose homes are under water or roots that are missing. you'll have my, my goodness, i mean the building we're underneath right now has roof kill back last area just under water, further in from fresh water flying. it's just one thing after another. and i think

until daylight comes about 3 or 4 hours, we won't really understand the scope of the devastation. g meteorologist with my radar app in port charlotte, florida. thank you. thank you. let's pick up on some of those points with iran, john from d w environment. and as we heard that not a text book storm the way seeing that what, what's different exactly. what are we seeing here? so i mean, this was one of the strongest storms in us, recorded history, but it's definitely not going to be one of the strongest storms in the u. s. future . i mean, these sorts of events are becoming stronger because of climate change than not becoming more frequent. i mean hurricanes generally, but these kind of category 3 to 4 to 5 storms definitely are. and so this is the kind of projection that climate scientists are saying. we got all sorts of new factors that were brought in by burning fossil fuels and heating up the planet. like sea levels are risen higher, the more warmer can hold more water for

a printer. so when it does rain, it rains much harder. and on top of that, you have all sorts of other factors that may be a bit more difficult to plot out. but one thing that we're seeing often is storms are starting to just slow down. and this looks like what's happening here, that slowing down, which means more time with the rain, can just be inundate, flooding on to an area that's already in and out. then can places like florida, which already have problems with flooding. keep up with this sort of extreme weather and these sorts of events to the unfortunate truth is that there are limits to how much community people and regions can adapt the sorts of events that are getting stronger. there is a huge amount they can do before they get to the point where places are actually livable. and so to actually reduce the damage and the death toll and the amount of infrastructure that gets destroyed. there's also the things they can do. so having good evacuation plans warning people and make sure that people respond in an

effective way. clear communication from politicians. all of that will reduce that tolls and make people able to actually cope with the events much more. but you still have the problems of home that will be washed away. people have to pay more for the insurance premiums to be able. i mean, some people won't even be able to insure that anymore. so what this all mean? what the governments have to do? because from what you're saying, it may not be more frequent events, but, but even some more severe events, is that what you're saying? exactly. and so i mean, those 2 very clear things government can do. i mean 1st, well leaders who promised her whole global warming at 1.5 degrees celsius above pre industrial temperatures. they can on about place they can put in the policies in place to actually get the at the minute. we're almost looking to double that temperature target and that mean stronger storms from the hurricanes. on the other hand, right now, they need to accept the we've already heat the planet about 1 point one degrees celsius. and that means that the world is hot. well,

the different to how it used to be a 100 years ago. and i mean, they need to put in place the adaptation measures to actually allow people like with evacuating face danger, type of support they need when they do leave their homes and have plans in place so that people don't end up suffering. and it isn't that simple to just decide ok, we're going to hold the temperature at this certain level is not simple, but the reassuring news is that the technology is almost completely there and it's cheap. the only thing that comes could be doing that would hold warming far lower than what they expected to do. if it does end up going over the limits that kind of, they've agreed on, there are ways to suck carbon dioxide back out of the atmosphere. these a less tested less prove of what scientist keeps dressing as commissions now and foster and you save a whole lot of suffering for the rest of the century at neuron. john, thank you very much for coming in from d w environment. let's have a look at some of the other news from around the world. a quoted me

a my have sent himself that leader on 2 to 3 more years in jail for violating violating a secret school. it's the latest in the spring of convictions against her since the military sees power last year. to cheese economics, advisor, australian shown to and l also received 3 years in prison. 20 years ago, us vice president, canada harris has held bilateral talks with south korea as president. you'll so you'll in so both you and, and harris condemned north, korea's provocative nuclear rhetoric and reaffirms their commitment to the nuclear rise. ation of the korean peninsula harris arrives all day. you'll gain conducted more of the state police in haiti, reportedly 5 shots and he against the demonstrators in the capital and rest rented 3 weeks ago over inflation and gang violence. the un says the country is in a humanitarian crisis with the situation reaching you levels of desperation

or few people can afford to buy a portion, but now anyone can buy a small part of the company. the german luxury sports car maker has made its debut on the frankfurt stock exchange with a price tag of nearly 75000000000 euros. it's one of your biggest listings in years . initial public offering comes at a tough time when markets are in turmoil due to surging inflation and recession. worries is parent company, folks fucking hopes to raise even more from the sale. of course, the shares bring you more on that story as it develops. the european union is planning to bring more sanctions against russia over its so called referendums, occupy balance of ukraine, or russian goods could be banned and technology exports stopped. if you states agree on the steps, moscow claims up to 99 percent of residents implants of ukraine voted yes to annexation. now, many residents of packing their bags and leaving before russia can claim possession

of the regions. these people are fleeing russian occupied easton, ukraine, about a 1000 people arrive at this check point in supper region every day. the number of those leaving has only increased since the so called referendums, calling for a formal annexation by russia began last week. they describe a procedure that is anything but democratic. we run into soldiers. they asked if we had voted. we said yes, they said, let's do it again. some say they were forced to vote at gunpoint and soldiers checked their ballots. speaking about the referendums, ukrainian president vladimir salon sky thanked western leaders for condemning the fabricated vote, which seemed jugglers a thank you all for your clear and unequivocal support. thank you all for understanding our position was ukraine cannot and will not put up with any attempts

by russia to seize any part of our land in the u. s. so landscape predictions were echoed by the white house. these referenda are illegitimate, and frankly out rages. we expect russia to use these sham referenda as a false pretext, to try to annex ukrainian territory and flagrant violation of international law and the united nations charter. in fact, russia's actions are transparently fraudulent and have no legal significance whatsoever. we will never recognise these illegal and illegitimate attempts at annexation the sham referendums prompt that the you to call for a new sanctions package against russia. it would be the 8th package so far and include tighter trade restrictions among them, a price cup for russian oil. thank you madam president. the shamrock,

morrenda, organized in the territories that russia occupied, are an illegal attempt to grap land and to change international borders by force. the mobilization and putting a threat to use nuclear weapons, a further steps on the escalation path, russian and stole leaders into occupied regions of donetta. clue hon. sc. supper re, john harrison half already formally asked the russian president to incorporate their territories into russia. a corresponded mathias bellinger, he said in ukrainian capital, keith, i asked in how the 18 additional highmark systems promised by the west will help ukraine's military the i must have been very effective in this war and the ukrainian side ukraine has been able to hit a deep behind the russian lines and to hit supply lines there, which has considerably a, made it more difficult for russia to bring ammunition,

for example, to the front lines, et cetera. big ammunition dumps have been hit by these high mos bridges, et cetera. however, of course, a dude in the course of a war, every new weapon system is most effective when it's new and elated, the other side adapt to it, so the spectacular explosions of ammunition deposed that we've seen in the beginning. it's not, it's not very probable that we will see them again. russia has adapted and they have distributed their supplies in a way that they're less easy to it. however, it's a powerful and very precise weapon, and it has a turned the tide in ukraine's favor when it was 1st used and the likelihood of ukraine positioning those miss asked to put it within range of crimea. so there's different types of missiles that can be used with these um, with these sets are the ones that ukraine has been delivered officially so far that

they reach about 80 kilometers that there's no way that you crank and reach crimea with these. however, we've seen strikes on crimea, we've seen franks on their soccer field and the day has been a lot of speculation. whether those attack comes these misses that can reach 300 kilometers wide, whether they have already arrived in ukraine, although both sides the u. s. and ukraine are denying that they are in possession of them, but it remains a mystery how ukraine was able to strike this air field. and speculation is, is about that. so there might be already some supplies of these attackers. these attackers, of course, would also put the bridge that connect, try me to russia are within range, although it would probably be difficult to hit it, but were within range of the training artillery and of course hitting that, which is a major goal of the ukrainians. it's something they want to do in order to supply a russian a to, to, to disrupt russian supply lines in

a more effective way of mathias ukrainian forces have been pushing to in circle another city in the east. what are you hearing? so yeah, we're talking about lemon lemon as one of the a cities that russia was able to capture it when they, when they started, or when they pushed of their offensive in the john boss through. and john, now ukrainian troops have been advancing mostly from the east, from the heart of region, but also from the south. and it looks a little bit like they would be able to close the ring and besieged the city. this would be the 1st siege to, to have a major settlement controlled by the russians and will be the 2nd siege in this war after mary jo fall. and it would of course, be an important, again for the ukrainians. if they can take the city, it would be the 1st major city major settlement to be taken back by the ukrainians in the danbury region. that region that russia has declared the main objective of

it's offensive that he has been a guy in ukraine forest covering events there. thank you very much. the swedish coast guard is found a 4th lake in the north stream gas pipelines that branch it after undersea explosions. were detected, scientists say the baltic sea lines could be pumping out the biggest methane release on record. questions of blame remain as both the e u when russia demand answers. moscow was called the united nations security council meeting to address the issue. european leaders are worried about the pipeline leaks, and about dixie that you faced. the damage was likely caused by deliberate act raising security concerns. but the european commission has not said who might have been behind the suspect at separate arch. today. ms. oller, who is everything, is being done to try to identify the origin of these events and of the explosions on the node string pipelines. so we will have to get to the bottom of this before

being able to say anything on the origins of these explosions is okay. and who is responsible for bio? sure. her low vision, this is extra joy, a responsibility. as europe largest natural gas appliance, norway thief, it will be up the security of its antarctic infrastructure is to turn the events in the baltic sea have resulted in the government deciding to further strengthen al preparedness around on and offshore infrastructures to prevent another incident. reinforce rowden or by the military will be more present and visible near our oil and gas installations installment really does have warrant of retaliation for any attack on europe. in our t networks, it is to reveal, there is no doubt that this is very serious. it is not a coincidence, this was planned. that is what i am or other things of discussed with the installed and burg nato secretary general. because this is serious. russia says it's launching an international terrorism investigation into the leaks denying

allegations it was involved related, well, you know, it's quite predictable and also predictably stupid to make such claims. i repeat, once again, predictably stupid and absurd. perhaps. the gas escaping from the pipelines is also an environmental concern. it contains high levels of methane and authority. fear it could be the equivalent of one 3rd of denmark, started animal, greenhouse gas emissions, the german luxury sports car maker. portia has made its stock market. they have you breathing turbulent times in the financial world. let's go over to the frankfurt stock exchange where ashley does pandey is standing by for us. as a tosha, let us know how things have gone there. when he did the board here actually is in great contrast to the doubt that the ideal market in europe has been witnessing it is

a really difficult time to actually make a debut on the stock market. the recession clears and inflation is rising. and at the same time, the center banks are raising interest rates. it's not the best of time, sir, but folks wagon was confident and it was banking on her watches, brand appeal, it's a legion of fans. it's sports cars are so popular, and it was largely banging on this luxury appeal to defy the problems around this session and concerns it on recession. and in the end, it sands vindicated because the, the washer has actually w has gone up according to plans. it's started off in the green and that's good enough after having bryce the offering at the higher end of the margin. so this puts it around 84000000000 euros and ahead of its rival for ari. it's a pretty good stuff, but tell me why only now after all these years and

see how this debut was you one can see that this debbie was actually 15 years in the making ever since the brush of family, the beach family, the lot been toward the complete control of a portia. they wanted some sort of control over this the brand. and this has been in the making for the past 15 years. now when volkswagen needs money, it needs the cash to drive its transition to electric vehicles. it sees is as a good opportunity to make it's cash cow. porsha has been a money spin out for volkswagen. so that's why i bought the washer family which had the majority controlling stadium, volkswagen. unfortunately, they agreed to this. i view a big name, big day view. i should have found the force of the franklin stock exchange on that portion of this thing. thank you. iran's president ibrahim raw, see, has condemned the chaos spots by the death of
