2:02 pm
disagrees and once ukrainian experts to be involved in the investigation. 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. 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 others to be sure, agatha, he was probably an es 300 rocket mate in the soviet union, an old rocket. and there is no evidence that it was launched by bush inside. it is highly probable. it was fired by ukrainian anti aircraft offences. and unfortunately, fell on our wits habit tree. russia on tuesday launched dozens of crews my southern
2:03 pm
drones at civilian targets in ukraine as president putin sheets to compensate for battlefield defeats with terror. although ukrainian president vladimir the lensky, denied that a ukrainian air defense michelle had gone. of course he called for his own investigators to be granted access to the site grains. campbell, ukrainian position is very clear. we strive to establish all the details for every fact, and 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 side of the explosion. do me. 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
2:04 pm
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 our correspondent young philip shots, his and keith and i earlier asked him why president zalinski was still blaming russia. i think the fact that it was probably an accident caused by ukrainian air defense is not that damaging for ukraine. every one in western countries and especially in poland, which is directly affected, agrees that the ultimate responsibility is with the russia without their invasion. none of this would have happened, but what surprises so some observer sir, is the harsh rhetoric from the ukranian side, especially the absolute denial that it might have anything to do with the ukrainian forces. but if we look carefully at the statements, i think we are seeing
2:05 pm
a slow shift there in his latest remark, sir, president says the lensky air has sir, changed the wording a bit. he is speaking about russian aggression, crossing the border and earn more general way. now, and he focuses on the demands that the ukrainians should be part of the team or that carries out the investigation at the moment. and i think this is something that polish officials might be willing to meet. and now this of course happened with russia, firing scores of missiles in white ukraine says was the biggest round of missile strike since the start of the war. how are people there in key of coping? is what we have experienced here since tuesday has definitely been the is the heaviest way for mrs. strikes since the beginning of the war. and this has led sir to a lot of power cuts all over the country. every day life here is very much
2:06 pm
affected and the missile attacks don't stop and people are warned about more massive strikes in the coming hours and days. the focus at the moment is especially on the port city of odessa and the eastern city of ne pro, where at least 15 civilians have been injured in the past hours. a mentioned as power cuts and how are these strikes that have been crippling energy infrastructure? how, what are the stakes of that? what are the implications of having these blackouts yet at least 15 power sides have for the damage in the past days. so this affects every day life a lot, even here in kia, we still experience the regular power cuts. but what is really probably more worrisome, our remarks by international experts that those power cuts once again increased the risk of a nuclear accident. the reason is very simple. nuclear power plants don't only
2:07 pm
produce power, but they also need external power. so the power cards have once again become a safety issue here. thank you so much for that update at our correspondent young fellow shots in kiff. well, a court is handing down its verdict in the m h. 17 murder trial. the malaysia airlines passenger jet was shot down over eastern ukraine in 2014. no one on board survived an international investigation established the plane was hit by a russian missile fired from separatist held territory in ukraine. for defendants are accused of the murder of those on board. though none of them appeared at 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
2:08 pm
plu, like most of the relatives, he's keen to hear the final verdict of the dutch court. we are waiting for a few for the search for this further, it is for me. and for almost a few minutes ish ferry ferry reported to the trial about the downing of m age 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 one ukrainian. they didn't take part in the proceedings. we have always known that the, the forces fact old will do their time or my, and they are under the protection of the russian government. we know that her, but you know, it is for the abortive throws at an independent court who suffered it and the world will know 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
2:09 pm
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 the shared of a book missile launcher being transported, that a lot of them then establish the route. so i will shoot towards the launch sites in international investigative team and in the netherlands was adding more detail 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 the same time, indirectly. of course, a lot of these evidentiary questions concern the role of russia really with regard to that book where it was launched from and the role of russia in terms of having effect over and be separate as fighters. so indirectly,
2:10 pm
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 who are still in grow psychological or distress. ah, lost her job, she lost her 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. i think to bring in our correspondent barbara vessel who filed that report. a barbara this trial started at more than 2 and a half years ago. we're now finally expecting a verdict. can you tell us what the scene is like there at the court house? a. we are in a room at the courthouse here in skip hole in near amsterdam, where we can see in the back the presiding judge giving his legal reasoning of for
2:11 pm
the main questions that have arisen in this trial. and these are, why does the dutch court have jurisdiction here? and these are, of course, also did the military commanders that have been, and not here in court, but that are the accused. 4 of them did, they have actual m command over the forces that were in 2014 and acting and fighting in the eastern don bus. and of course, finally, in the end, it is also the role of russia that is under question here because the basic and the last question is how, how much did which roll did russia play and, and how much action did they really take here? and did they more or less sort of concede that something like this could possibly happen? so we're still then that part of legal reasoning. we're waiting for the final verdict, but the court, of course,
2:12 pm
has to their kid very carefully built this up before. because why before accused are the ones that are supposed to be tried here. and we've mentioned that those defendants are being tried in absentia. is it possible that they will ever truly faced justice? and it is a kind of justice if they are being tried here, but of course they may never go to jail. however, we do not know how the war between russia and ukraine plays out. we do not know whether there will be further war crimes tribunals later on whether they might in the end, maybe in some years be handed over to the dutch authorities. all this is totally in the open, but of course it is a matter of judicial procedure and also of the general sense of justice. not only of the relatives, but also for the whole dutch people at that a fair trial is being held about these days. and barbara, in your report, you really painted
2:13 pm
a picture of the anguish anguish that this has caused. how important you think this trial is in providing closure for the families of the victims for some of the families, it is very important. some of them say that this is giving as a feeling that you know just is, is spoken that though we will see what happens in this court now. and that the people responsible for this, at least have been tried. even if there won't kravon be ever or may be very much later, be going to jail. and for others, they say this is not going to heal the wounds. there are some that are simply uncontrollable. there are some families where just one surviving member has lost all his relatives, his wife, injured the oldest children for instance, and they will probably never overcome it. and for them, it might be a step, but somehow less important that it's a wound that for them will never. he'll te, tell his correspondent barbara. thank you so much for your reporting there. as well
2:14 pm
as the united nations climate summit in egypt near its end, world leaders have been making major pledges on climate action. at charm will shake brazil's president elect louisa nasa, linda silva from mister crackdown and deforestation. the amazon. the delegates are yet to agree, a deal over compensation for 4 countries, suffering the damaging effects of climate change. we'll take that, he's at timos, shannon burgess at cop 27 in egypt, and he spoke to louisa neu, bower, one of germany's leading youth activist, combating climate change. let's take a listen. i'm speaking with who is annoyed by german climate activists. miss snowball. you know, the position of the german foreign minister and alina bab, awkward, you're heard, it sounds very convincing. what you say in germany wants to do, wants to do more, has to do more, do you still deliver? well i think it's a tradition says there one to do. 1 that is 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
2:15 pm
our foreign minister, but our chance that will show it as well. have company with big pledges, but when we then look at the track record of germany and the climate crisis, and it's as bad. and we're seeing that why that promise is for, you know, an acceleration condition and more renewable is. 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? well, we expect of course, germany to hind and he get that things together for loss or damage. am we, i haven't yet heard anything that is convincing enough that is convincing 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 castillo, that is being, am negotiated just now. it cannot be that
2:16 pm
a country like germany and the 21st century is actually making up opening up together with senegal and 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 a fight? hydrogen cannot throat and hydrogen cannot flow through the same pipes as gas can. that is a different physical or requirement there. and any politician who claims that is possible has kill you, no idea of what we're talking about. hydrogen diffuses through steel, which is what these pipes are made out of. so it's another infrastructure that tiny path that can be kept. but overall, hydrogen is not what you know, gas is flowing through. and that's a big, big bold ferry chair that is being told by the fossil fuel lobbyists. it would us one to believe that they're moving away from the fossil fuels. we're actually
2:17 pm
extending to fossil fuel era. you 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 lead us came together to actually deliver as a promise. we can get away from fossil fuels. we can enter the, the renewable era. we can make sure that people have to be, don't have to be scared and you longer to be led down and thrown in front of the boss by the world community. all that is possible, but it needs to be done is made happen, and used to be delivered to you. and what we're seeing here though, is that the most privileged countries of the world, those responsible for the climate crisis, i giving every thing that can to push us even further into fossil fuel m around thank you. thank you. as louise at no bower at the top 27 conference. now german foreign minister and alina burbock is also due to address the climate summit in egypt. we will have coverage of that as it happens, that she stay tuned for now. let's take a look at iraq. it is one of those countries that could benefit from
2:18 pm
a loss and damage funds. the country is reeling from the effects of climate change . sandstorms are frequent and lakes and dried up as has much of its agricultural lands. this summer, iraq's gazelles were the 1st victims of the drought that has swept the country for 3 years. they had no more grass, no foliage for shade. dozens perished. close by one of the box, many dry lakes. the sour lake was a national landmark. hydrologists are hon. i'll how far g often brought his students here to the water the drying up of the saw will lake is primarily a consequence of climate change in iraq. the lack of rain and increased evaporation which more, more than 2000 wells have recently been drilled in the area. those

wells are meant for agriculture, but that didn't help iraq last half of it, agricultural land to the desert this year. on some days, temperature is reached and unbearable. 55 degrees. thousands of farmers have left the villages and saw the nevuk. you see it, the country is desolate. the earth is full of salt. we've become poor. we want to go away, but no one will take us in anywhere else. the legendary palm trees of southern iraq are just a memory on the border between iraq and yvonne. her son helene, from the university of basra, explains how yvonne has divert at multiple rivers into its own territory. and damn

them up also responds to climate change. that means that almost no fresh water flows into iraq any more if you took a picture here 40 years ago, it would have been dark green. all kinds of palm trees grew here with expensive unique dates and gardens full of citrus fruits. ah, but that in early summer the water in the t greece receded so much that people were able to stand in the river. the city choked on sandstorms. climate experts say there will be more and more each year. while downstream on the persian gulf, there's less and less fresh water from iraq's rivers. while more salt water is drifting in i expect sea levels to continue to rise due to climate
