ah, ah ah ah ah, this is dw news life from berlin. the republicans way, the majority in the us house of representatives, giving them control of one chamber of congress. we look at what that means for the 2nd half of jo, biden's presidency, nato and warsaw. believe tuesdays explosion in poland was caused by ukrainian air

defense. they say it's likely that missile was miss fire trying to repel russian air strikes. a verdict is true in the m h. 17 trial for men are accused of helping shooting down the malaysia airlines plane of ukraine in 2014 killing. everyone on board and the clock is ticking for delegates in egypt to agree on climate goals. use climate chief says there's still a long way to go before a deal can be reached. ah, i've been fizzle. unwelcome in the united states, the republicans have garnered enough seats to take control of the house of representatives following last week's mid term elections. it gives the party considerable power to oppose president jo biden's agenda for the final 2 years of his term. the house is the chamber that initiates all spending bills in the us. it

controls the post strengths of government. with biden's democrats still in control of the senate, the stages said for a period of division the more and joined by bo, has form on professor of politics at college. berlin bar is put this into perspective for us. how much power has the republican party government? well now we're seeing after 2 years of united government is a divided government, which means that basically we heard this budgetary questions cannot be decided very easily. we saw that in the 1st 2 years, even with both chambers in the hands of the democrats. it wasn't easy, but now of course, the republicans, if the past is any indication or will probably have a very destructive agenda of trying to undermine any, any legislative agenda. the by them might still have how united are the republicans,

though in trying to undermine the democrats? well, i mean, the laws are made in congress of the senators still with the, with the democrats, but republicans will not. or probably it's very unlikely for them to join in a legislative proposals. i mean, we saw one exception just 2 months ago or 3 months ago the chips act, which was mostly about protecting manufacturing at home. busy we also saw some bipartisan proposals when it came to the, the tariff or conflict with china. so in military questions, foreign policy questions, economy questions, who knows? maybe there might still be something on the agenda that might work. but it's quite unlikely because the presidential election 2024 is coming up and the republicans will try to, to portray a biden as a week president. what about foreign policy?

that's usually something where, or even a lame duck president can have more room for the new the right. i think this is the 2. there are 2 dimensions to this. one is the as you say, the foreign policy dimension. where will certainly also given the historical moment and the war in ukraine and the shifting of tectonic shifts in global relationships also was trying to we'll certainly see more of that by, by and at the same time, i think we'll see more executive orders at home. this is something that obama had already done against a congress that was also trying to block all types of legislative proposals. and a trump himself as well, has used many executive orders. it's become the, the tool of choice in a heavily polarized political society. and he's also and as his plans to run for president of his full and thank you very much for the analysis. thank nato and

poland say a mis. all that struck polish territory on tuesday was probably misfired by ukrainian self defense. 2 people were killed when it exploded in a village near the border between poland and ukraine. it happened on the same day. russia bombarded ukraine with scores of missiles targeting infrastructure and cities right across the country. in these fields near the ukrainian border, the search for answers continues. it was here that a missile came down on tuesday, killing 2 and sparking fears that the war in ukraine might escalate into a wider conflict. had this been an intentional attack on nato member, poland. it could have triggered a military response by the alliance by analysis of these fragments, let war so to conclude, that the messiah was not launched by russia. who appears to be sure, agatha, he was probably an as 300 rocket made in the soviet union, an old rocket. and there is no evidence that it was launched by the russian side.

it is highly probable. it was fired by ukrainian anti aircraft offences. and unfortunately, fell on our with heavy tree. russia on tuesday launched dozens of crews my southern drones at civilian targets in ukraine, as president putin ships to compensate for battlefield defeats with terror. ukrainian president vladimir the lensky, deny that a ukrainian air defense miss al had gone. of course, he called for his own investigators to be granted access to the site range. couple ukrainian position is very clear. we strive to establish all the details or every fact, that is why we need our specialists to join the international investigation and to get access to all the data available to our partners and to recite of the explosion, mika, we will, in his remarks, the incident has not weakened the resolve of ukraine's key ally with the united

states. and we, the united states are determined to continue to support ukraine with the means to defend themselves for as long as it takes. but the end of the day ukraine will retain, will remain a free and independent country will its territory intact. with nato unlikely to join the fight, he crane will need all the material support it can get a reported, gosh, shanowsky is in the village where the missile exploded. what's the reaction there? where you are? then there is a mixture of emotions here in shavon of the village where the rocket exploded to days ago. the people who spoke to here are, 1st of all afraid there is fear and the anger at this

a dis, terror to people are afraid about the that that the conflict behind the border could spook over to, to their village to the life so easily. well, there is also the sense of the sense of relief after yesterday's newest in our day after they found out that there is to do was that this was a ukrainian and not a russian rocket. they are relieved that there is no risk of a bigger conflict which, which in danger, damn, you know, they are living just very close to the border. we are just 6 kilometers away. but ultimately now there is a sense of a time for grief. here are 2 people from this very close, the neat community died, so there is on the 400 inhabitants here in this village. so people knew the 2 men that that were killed and they will now need the time to process that. what about the investigation that's ongoing,

their ukraine's requesting access to the site for its own investigators. what. what can you tell us there? this is right we, we are hearing these reports about ukraine. we create a requesting access and participating in and in the investigation. we are also hearing reports in poland is that the polish government is in contact with ukraine . insight on this issue. but for now, there have been on announcements about that in poland. the polish police is conducting the investigation here on site. you can see behind me the police have caught on of this area a few 100 meters further is the greater order. what a missile struck, and i police police police, a full 2 big resources are there is, there are experts and there is also several prosecutors working on this site and poland. and if it comes to international corporation, poland is cooperating with the u. s. there,

there where american experts here on site and, and there is an exchange of information going on. the chief of ca was also in war. so yesterday, so i think this is the corporation. poland is concentrating on at the moment. j gosh sherman of ski reporting from the site where that missile exploded from pole and thank you. a corresponded john phillip sholtes is in keith. i asked him how damaging it would be for ukraine if this was caused by a ukrainian air defense mesa? i think the fact itself that it was probably an accident caused by ukrainian air defense is not so damaging for ukraine. everyone in the western countries, especially also in poland, that is directly affected, agrees that the ultimate responsibility is with russia. without that invasion, none of this would have happened and i haven't heard any direct accusations against

ukraine in this regard. what might be a little bit more damaging the rhetoric that we have heard since the incident happened? first of all, the absolute denial that it might have anything to do with ukrainian air defense. and then the deep skepticism regarding the investigation results that have been carried out. so, and that have been published so far. president lensky was still saying yesterday, he has no doubts. it was not ukraine's myself saying he basis his conclusion on reports from the ukrainian military. how does that fit into the narrative? well, i think if we look carefully at the statements since the incident happened, we see a slow shift there at the very beginning. the official statement was it was a russian missile and everything else is basically

a conspiracy theory. in the afternoon, president lensky said that he still doesn't have any doubt that ukraine doesn't have anything to do with it. and the secretary of the security council sat there. there is no evidence supporting the 1st investigation results. but in the later evening, president lensky statements changed a little bit. he was still speaking about russian aggression crossing the border, but in a more general way. and he was more focusing on his demand that the all investigation results have to be transparent, and that ukrainian specialists have to be involved in the investigation. okay, and i heard an air raid siren there ringing out just as we crossed to you. and i believe russian missiles continued to fall on you crane. how is the country clothing the last 2 days have been extremely difficult, sir. the way for a missile attacks that we have seen has,

without any doubt been the strongest, the heaviest wave of attacks. so far it's very difficult for ukraine at the moment . every day life has changed. they are still a lot of power cuts on a daily basis and what also quite well, quite alarming in this regards, are statements by international specialists or by international experts that are the power cuts have also increased the risk once again of a possible nuclear accident. because the power plant power plant obviously rely on external power during their operations. it's a very difficult moment and we must not forget that fighting continuous after the withdrawal of russian troops from carson in the south fighting has once again

increased in the eastern part of the country. gentle sholtes with the update there from the ukrainian capital verdicts expected today in the m. h. 17 motor trial of 3 russians and a ukranian who is still at large. the malaysia and lions passenger jet was shot down over east in ukraine in 2014. no one survived an international investigation established. it was hit by a russian missile fired from separatist held territory in ukraine. the trial is being held in the netherlands, where most of the victims came from. the tree was planted at this memorial for each of the $298.00 victims of flight. a major 73 of them are for the family of people. like most of the relatives, he's keen to hear the final verdict of the dutch court. we are waiting for a cheerful day, sir, for this, for it is for me and for all next of kin, it's very, very important. the trial about the downing of m h 17. as

a test for the dutch justice system. 68 hearings, 70000 pages of documents and the elaborate reconstruction of the destroyed plane and a hanger in the netherlands. the suspects were military commanders, 3 russian, and when ukrainian they didn't take part in the proceedings. we have always known that the, the forshaw speckled will do their time. am i and they are under the protection of the russian government. we know that her, but you know, it's, it's really important for us at an independent court is referred it and the world will know who was responsible. figuring out which type of rocket brought down the airplane and where it was fired from was the 1st hurdle. the 2nd was identifying the suspects here, the investigative website. bellingham played a big role using open source information. you had more images with wreckage and that could establish which party actually being hit by shrapnel. you also have videos and photographs me shared that of a book missile launcher being transported,

that a lot of the dentist hours the route. so i will shoot towards the launch sites in international investigative team in the netherlands was adding more detailed as where the dutch prosecutors. it was also especially difficult for the dutch court because there was a politically charged trial. besides, the 4 suspects, the russian states seemed to be in the duck, though criminal trial really isn't about russia. and at same time, indirectly, of course, a lot of these evidentiary questions concern the role of russia really with regard to that book or where it was launched from and the role of russia in terms of having effect over and be separate as fighters. so indirectly, it's very much about russia, but russian never acknowledged its role. it really would have made a difference if her, if they said, sorry that they never did. and some of the families involved have never recovered from the tragedy. war still in grow psychological or distress. ah,

lost their jobs, lost their companies or lost their families feebly shocked, torn apart. and they are still living as if with you as if it happened yesterday. for others, time has healed some of the pain, and for them the verdict may go some way to delivering justice. time for some other stories, making news from around the world. north korea fired a ballistic missile towards its eastern waters on thursday as a bond of fiercer military responses to the us and its allies. launches the latest and a record number of such tests this year. iran state media is reporting that a further 3 people will face the death penalty of the weeks of protests against the government. thousands have been arrested in the demonstration, sparked by the death of a young woman, arrested for allegedly wearing her his job improperly. the 1st death sentence was announced only of this week. me a mouse military regime says it's releasing close to 6000 prisoners to mark next

a couple of days. i'm just not the bag room where for the next pay day or the next bit of cash and find to to put it on sim with electric. i'll turn lights off on a night of on, on the house to diagnose. there are free food banks all over the u. k. like here in north london. but across the country, the lines of needy people are growing longer than i reason as a single mother and works part time in a department store. she comes here almost every week. it'd be very difficult, especially nowadays the day inflation and the prices are growing not go up so much . no, very difficult, very defy. didn't know how could manage our f task con is in charge of food distribution. he estimates that demand is gone up by 50 percent in the last 6

months. the country, i don't bring a face to time to war. people that are in we're actively both husband and wife. they are currently access all services. and these people will normally associate, yet older people, single parents, children, poverty hits them all particularly hot. martin godfrey is a doctor in london. some of his patients are overly pale and proud to infection because they don't have enough to eat. he worries, especially about the children in 2020 and in some parts of london, 25 percent of the population is living below the poverty line. something like 12 percent. her children are going to to, to sleep hungry, which seems to be an, an unforgettable or an unthinkable situation. father, dr. food, bank worker. they're all afraid, the coming winter is likely to bring more suffering for more people here in britain

as the un climate summit in egypt, news, it's, and world leaders have been making major pledges on climate action at shawn, i'll shake brazil's president elect louise and ask you will order the silver promised to crack down on deforestation in the amazon debate still remains over compensation for poor countries for the damaging effects they suffer from climate change delegates at the conference a yet to agree on a final deal that he w team at cop 27 in egypt spoke to one of germany's leading youth activists combating climate change. have a listen. i was speaking with louise, annoyed by german climate activists. miss snowball, you know, the position of the german foreign minister on alina bab, awkward, you heard it sounds very convincing. what you say in germany wants to do, wants to do more, has to do more. do so, believe her. well, i think it's a tradition says they want to do more. that's not my position to doubt that with what we're looking at is the action more than the words. and what we're seeing is

that our foreign minister, but our chance that we'll have show it as well. have company with big budgets, but then we then look at the track record of germany in the climate crisis. and it's as bad. and we're seeing that word that promises for, you know, next celebration condition and more renewables. there's also german funding going. it's a new fossil fuels all across the world, and in particular, the african continent. what are expecting of the foreign minister to, to address now in this negotiations where we expect of course, germany, to finally get their things together for loss or damage. and we haven't yet heard anything that is convincing enough that is convincing that the people here that demanding of every right they have less than damage to be paid for by countries like germany. and then of course, germany wants to keep any climate integrity at this conference. they need to back up from the synagogue gasdio that is being, am negotiated just now. i cannot be that a country like germany in the 21st century is actually making up opening up

together with senegal, that new gas fios and on the ocean just to feed out our energy grids in 10 years time. that's not the reality that we're seeing right now. what we need is renewables, not another new gasdio. what about the argument of hydrogen which could flow through the same pipes? hydrogen can not throat and hydrogen cannot flow through the same pipes as gas can . that is a different physical requirement there. and any politician who claims that is possible, has kelly no idea of what we're talking about hydrogen defuses to steal, which is what these pipes are made out of. so it's another infrastructure that tiny pad that can be kept. but overall, hydrogen is not what you know, gas is flowing through and that is a big, big boat fairytale that is being told by the philosophy lobby is that what us one to believe that they're moving away from the fossil fuels? we're actually extending the fossil fuel era. there anything that makes you

optimistic regarding the outcome of this year's conference? well, what we're seeing at this conference is that anything could be possible if leaders came together to actually deliver as a promise. we can get away from fossil fuels, we can, and the renewable era, we can make sure that people have to be, don't have to be scared any longer to be led down and thrown in front of the best by the world community all it is possible. but it needs to be done, needs to may happen, it needs to be delivered to you. and what we're seeing here though, is that the most privileged country of the world that was responsible for the climate crisis, i giving everything that can, to push us even further into fossil fuel m era. thank you. thank you. national teams are arriving in cutoff of the football woke up this week with all the super starts getting ready to play. and what could be the next generation of staff is getting ready in ivory coast, thanks to a program run by the sports world governing body fif. together with unesco
