goals. we speak to germany's most well known climate activists about the republicans when control of the us house of representatives, we look at what that means for the 2nd half of 2 bytes prices. also a verdict is true with the mh 17 motor trial for men are accused of helping shooting down the militia airlines playing ukraine in 2014 killing everyone on ah i've been phys all and welcome nato and poland. say a miss how that struck polish territory on tuesday, was probably misfired by ukraine in 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
9:02 am
cities 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 warn you crane might escalate into a wider conflict. had this been an intentional attack on nato member, poland. a could have triggered a military response by the alliance by analyses of these fragments, let war. so to conclude, that the message was not launched by russia who appears to be shahrokhi thought it 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 bush inside. 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 cruise,

my southern drones at civilian targets in ukraine as president putin sheets to compensate for battlefield defeats with tara o ukrainian president vladimir lansky, denied that a ukrainian air defense michelle 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 school. 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 his sight of the explosion, mika, we will. in his remarks, the incident has not weakened the resolve of ukraine's ki 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
9:04 am
ukraine will retain, will remain a free and independent country will its territory intact. with nato unlikely to join the fight. ukraine will need all the material support it can get a corresponded down for the schoultz, izzy and keith. i asked him how damaging it'd be for ukraine if this was caused by a ukrainian air defense me. so 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, a rhetoric that we have heard since the incident happened. first of all,
9:05 am
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 missiles saying he bases his conclusion on reports from the ukrainian military. how does that fit into the narrative? well, i think if we looked 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 so the secretary of the security council sat there,
9:06 am
there is no evidence supporting the 1st investigation results. but in the later evening, president zalinski 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. ok. 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 coping 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 checks so far, it's very difficult for ukraine. at the moment. every day life has changed. they
9:07 am
are still a lot of power cuts on a daily basis and was also quite well quite alarming in this regards. our 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 plants 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 ukrainian capital. lauren joined by d. w. rush, or analyst,
9:08 am
constantine equity, and villiers constantine. let's go back to this explosion in poland. what is the reaction in russia following nato saying that the missile was astray from ukraine? well, it is predictable. the earth, gramlin and propaganda chat shows on television are laughing at you gradient laughing, the western allies. ah, and at the same time of the former president and prime minister now deputy head of security council of russia. dmitri media, the of rhodes and his child telegram channel, that this incident ah, means that the west is increasing chances of war in europe. he also joked about a possibility of ukrainian missile, ah, hitting the u. s. capital eventually, so of the propaganda. so having a field day in russia, ben, how though, is the kremlin using this to it's advantage?
9:09 am
well, i think that the idea now will be to say that you gradient armed forces are incompetent . are that the risk of are, are some kind of accidental confrontations being heightened not by the russians, but by the gradients and their western allies, as i said. but i also think i'm not excluding it. that this, the criminal will use if put in was to of course, ah, to promote the idea that finally some kind of dialogue should start. we've seen several russian officials recently and including deputy foreign minister and actual, including the presidential press spokesman, mailed me at the desk of saying that, you know, whenever refused to talk to you, grania. so this may be a door for the ground to open this kind of a path to negotiations to signal, to try to convince the west that negotiations are really needed. i'll, let's,
9:10 am
if they take walk through that till konstantin aga, thank you very much for your analysis. there some other stories making news from around the world. ukraine says the deal that allows it to export grain through the black sea will be extended by 4 months. turkey which help broker the agreement confirmed the initiative will continue under existing times. un secretary general antonio quoterush, welcome to move north korea find a ballistic missile towards its eastern waters on thursday as a want of fiercer military responses to the u. s. and its allies. the launch is the latest in a break or number of such tests. this year me a mass military regime is releasing about $6000.00 prisoners. lucky, next week's national victory day holiday. following the announcement relatives gathered outside the prison, yet gone. among those being free to reform, the british ambassador, a japanese journalist, and, and radiant economist as the un climate summit in egypt near
9:11 am
its end, wild leaders have been making major pledges on climate change and action channel shake, brazil's president elect louisa, now looted a silver promise 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 of the conference you had to agree on a final deal or climate activists. louisa noise power from fridays for future. germany joins us now from the summit. it's a pleasure to have you on the show. german foreign minister and alina babcock is still at the summit. what do you hope she achieves where what we need at the summit more desperately then perhaps ever before as we need for especially the countries the global north to to show, to demonstrate that any of their promises mean anything. and as we speak about new
9:12 am
pledges being made from also as of world leaders, what we're seeing at the same time as had before. and during the coming the summit, 40 new gasdio where mathes m and we're still counting. so this summer is about to turn into a fossil fuel gas, green washing show with what we're saying, the one thing at the same time all over the plan is expanding fossil fuel infrastructure. how much of the pledges? how many of the pledges are? what sort of percentage would you say is green washing, who will actually result in some sort of action being take well, i'm not saying that all of the pledge is made here. i categorically empty. but what we're seeing is that m that leaders, especially those with the global north undermining that was their own promises. when saying that they're committing to climate action to,
9:13 am
to mitigation to doesn't damage on the one side. why fueling the prices that causes or the devastation at the same time? it's not working out. so we need to, to look at, you know, what the, some of think that is happening here. and that isn't the worst case in enormous backlash or the opening up rather of a new fossil fuel era. and we've, we've lead us from the global north, desperately trying to get around and assembled as much fossil fuel as i can possibly get knowingly. that there will be an incredible amount of over production happening, knowing that they're putting lives in life, it's everywhere, address. what's also not working and where promises have been made but no kept is financing poor countries to cope with the challenges. do you have recommendations or suggestions on how that could well, i don't think people am, have an idea of the amount of mistrust that is, that is around. he had to call people from the most affected area from the most
9:14 am
vulnerable countries. they have no reason anymore to believe any of the finest pages that have being made that we've heard for so so, so many years with then all of the lead as one after the, at the backing off of actually delivering to that. and people are tired, there can't wait anymore. they have lost everything are ready to like, extend an end, you know, any one coming here wanting to, to, to m, excite every one for yet another pledge, you know, is facing the very dia, truth, a very dia, reality of so many people around the world who have lost everything because of the emissions of the governors because of the mission said they have never course and the 1st place that is incredibly unjust. and if this conference is supposed to meet anything, this is the moment where the globe north really has to pay up. louisa, is it counter productive when people from your climate movement or other climate activists from around the world start gluing themselves to highways and streets and attacking works of art? does that work against what you're trying to achieve there in egypt?
9:15 am
sorry i didn't get the last part. what is counterproductive when climate activists start blowing themselves to highways in streets and attacking works of but does that make your job lot hot a day away? you are in egypt. it trying to bring about change. why should that be counter productive? because it, we see a public backlash. we see public opinion moving against climate activists. when at the moment we have such a huge movement and huge public awareness of what needs to be done for the climate . well, i don't think that every movement and every act of this goal is to be to you know, changer, public opinion or to, to create public majorities for climate action as being some of us needs to just make sure all the time that this crisis is real that is then action needs to happen now. and you know, that is
9:16 am
a great teamwork that we're doing all over the planet with some of us trading lodge movements, bringing millions of people on the street and create a, you know, a public understanding of what's going on in the larger sense and others are there to, to show how drastic and heretical a crisis released am. and this comes together as a, as a large, you know, was out there. and to be fair, think, you know, lead us now claiming a pushes are claiming that, you know, the public opinion would be harmed by someone going now in the field. i would argue that the public opinion is being harmed by leaders, you know, telling all the fairy tahas about the crisis that can apparently weighed about the climate, not being the 1st priority and about, you know, climate activists needing to understand that, you know, that might be more important things to care about when the one thing we really cannot live without is a stable climate. louisa, no above and fridays for future germany. thank you very much for being on d. w. use. appreciate it. thank you for having me. low rainfall has led too much of southern madagascar facing severe drought last year. you went
9:17 am
well food program was the lack of water is creating a food crisis, exacerbated by climate change. dw, sort of increase, visited c omega, where the situation is particularly bad. l a one and a half 1000000 people are dependent on a the many a living and famine like conditions. this is monet, bravo river, or what's left of it for 2 years. residents of cio may have to dig in the river bed, their main source of water that we are truly suffering my salad. and now it's really dry, dry, dry no, no rainfall at all. this rainy season should have already started, but once again, people are still waiting, lifted. i and her family left their village and came to town because of the droughts back home. everything had run dry, but here things were not much better. yes, it's a tiny house,
9:18 am
but this is what we can afford to rent. our house is in the village far from here. but we come here because we need access to water. we brought all the kids here and now they work as water carriers. and the gentleman on the line with fetching water and selling it is their only option of earning money for food every morning. this is the reality for tens of thousands in the region who live in villages without access to water. they have to transport their water containers to water sources, then fill them up and bring them back to their villages, of course, at a price. and it's often children who are doing this work. skipping school southern madagascar has always been poorer and dryer than the rest of the islands. the recent droughts combined with decades of neglect by the central government, has aggravated the situation. we meet the regional governor, he says their plans to build a road and a massive water pipe to bring in water from areas better off. but he can say when
9:19 am
you can expect that those problems to be a reserve within ah, one year or 2 years for the last 8 decades. nothing has been done. and this is the 1st government. this is the 1st regime which is taking care of their whole of a problem. he says residents are also to blame because for generations they have been cutting down the forests in the area. becket, manambra over river lyford. i says she has no energy to think about who or what is responsible for the crisis behind it with them. sometimes the children don't get any money until the end of the day. so late at night. sometimes we don't eat the whole day. we just stay hungry, then i just say the countess fruits, now we don't have anything to cook. so i need to go and look for cactus very so we have a meal units, laundry in. so once again,
9:20 am
she ventures out in the heat without shoes looking for something to eat, trying to make ends meet, finding food and waters all the for, as i can think of every day to the united states. now where the republicans have gone it, enough states 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 time. the house is the chamber that initiates spending bills in the us. it controls the past strengths of government with biden's democrats still in control of the senate. the stage is set for a period of division. so how much power has the republican party gained more? i spoke to political scientists burns format of bond college about it. well, now we're seeing after 2 years of united government is a divided government,
9:21 am
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 and the hands of the democrats. it wasn't easy. but now of course, the republicans, if the past is any indication, will probably have a very destructive agenda of trying to undermine any legislative agenda by might still have how united are the republicans though? when in trying to undermine the democrats? well, i mean, the laws are made in congress of the senate is 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
9:22 am
bipartisan proposals when it came to the, the tariff conflicts 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 to, 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 a global relationships also was trying to we'll certainly see more of that by by it . and at the same time, i think we'll see more executive orders at home. this is something that obama had
9:23 am
already done against a congress that was also trying to block all types of legislative proposals. and 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 so, so as his plans to run for president bowers full and thank you very much for the analysis. a vote ex, expected today in the m age, 17 mode, a trial of 3 russians and it ukranian who was still at large. the malaysia airlines 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 image. 17. 3 of them are for the family of pete
9:24 am
plu. like most of the relatives, he's keen to hear the final verdict of the dutch court. we are waiting for a fear for this, for, for this further, it is for me and for all next of kin, it's very, very important to 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 in a hangar in the netherlands. the suspects were military commanders, 3 russian, and one ukrainian. they didn't take part in the proceedings. we have always known that the forshaw sprinkled will do their time. i am, they are under the protection of the russian government. we know that her, but you know it's, it's really important for us as an independent court who suffered 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
9:25 am
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 venice hours through. so i will shoot towards the launch sites in international investigative team. and 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, for suspects. the russian states seemed to be in the duck da, 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 on the separatist fighters. so indirectly,
9:26 am
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 her job, she lost her companies or lost their families firmly, 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. as a reminder of our top stories here on t, w, news, nato and also say tuesdays explosion in poland was probably caused by ukrainian air defense. they say it's likely ukrainian forces misfire that may saw when trying to repel russian air strikes. landed in a village near the polish ukrainian border, killing 2 people and the republicans have won
