are not to visit her, not a guess. you want to become a citizen. in phil migrants, your platform for reliable information. ah ah. this is dw news live from berlin, adult court sentences 3 men to life for helping shoot down the malaysia al and plane over ukraine 8 years ago. the plane was hit by miss sol as it flew over territory held by brushing back separatists in easton ukraine. all passengers on board work hilde also coming up ukraine calls for access to the site in poland,

where a missile killed 2 people. nato is supporting colin's assessment that ukrainian added fence was likely to blame, but keith is questioning those findings. germany makes to play for action as the cop 27 climate summit in egypt entered, crunch time. for mr. allen, i babbled, says the conference must market turning point in world efforts to face all fossil fuel blue i'm gabelle as well come to the program. we begin with breaking news from the netherlands, where a court has convicted 3 men in absentia for their role in the downing of malaysia alliance, mh 17 over ukraine. 8 years ago. they include 2 former russian intelligence agents and the ukranian. his leader, a 4th defendant,

has been acquitted. passenger jet was shot down over east in ukraine in 2014 and no one survived. an international investigation established the plane was hit by a russian missile that was fired from territory in ukraine that was held by pro russian separatists. our correspondent barbara basil is at the courthouse in the netherlands and she joins us now. barbara, this trial started more than 2 and a half years ago. that's a long wait for justice. what was the reaction there as the verdict was read out? of course, the 1st reactions of some of the relatives who have now stepped outside the courtroom in order to talk to the media are a kind of relief that justice in a way is done. even though the of for accused, we're not here in the courtroom and to me probably never go to jail. we don't know this. however, as 3 we are sentenced to life arrest warns were immediately it handed down and did

so they can for the foreseeable future, not leave russia because they would be arrested, were ever in the world they turned up. or if for the time being they are safe there . and that of course is an aspect that some of the relatives hearsay still hurts them because they would of course want to see them go to jail. however, justice has been done in a way, maybe in a rather abstract manner bought this. dutch court has really tried to lead the most of the fairies trial possible under the circumstances to sort of way the evidence very carefully to very carefully think about the chain of command in 2014 in easton ukraine. and the personal responsibility of the accused, and this is the result that we just heard. now, what more can you say about the of the verdicts themselves and the verdict,

of course, it was face in a chain of evidence that was rather difficult for the dutch should the dutch court to assess because some of it was open source that was like, telephone calls between the accused that have been monitored at the time. and there were satellite images, how the book, a missile that was responsible for the or that was of, you know, a functioning as the messiah. they do shut down a div at the flight. the image 17, a, where it was moved from where it was moved to and a who had the command over. no, sir, rebel is militants there who were active in the area at the time. and so 3 of the defendants have been now found guilty that they were, in fact, the commanders who did it, could that, who did have the responsibility for what happened in the area had responsibility for moving dismissal? of course was the intent to shoot down military planes,

ukrainian planes. but the if they by accident they shut down this passenger plane was it's 298 people on board. all of them died as we know and distilled. they are responsible for what happened at that point about what you've been following this story close before for more of an aide years since that fateful crash. now odd. since they will likely never go, the 3 that were sentence will likely never go to prison. will kind of closure. what will this bring to the families? it is for some of it part it some a bit of closures. some say they are satisfied with it because they have seen that a criminal court has very carefully considered the evidence in this case. and said, yes, they're guilty, they're responsible. so justice has been done. the verdict has been spoken as so if that satisfies you are in your mind and soul, then this is a step may be for healing the wounds that where are greedy inflicted 8 years ago

for others. however, it means as still that they see these people will never go to jail. we don't really expect it. and also the most important point. nobody no court in the world and nothing can ever bring in their relatives that they lost. and there are many tragic cases and people who lost their whole families or a wife and 3 children, for instance. some of them are on that flight and to whose life more this has been destroyed. and this courts here, even though it tried to be as objective as fair and do the best legal job, it could, can never bring them back. bob hazel, their reporter from amsterdam, thank you very much, barbara on to ukraine. now where the government is calling for access to the site in poland, where a missile killed 2 people on tuesday. poland believes the strike was accidentally caused by ukrainian elephants, as it responded to attacks by russia ne,

to has backed that assessment. but keith disagrees. and once we'll ukrainian experts to be involved in this investigation in these fields near the ukranian border, let's 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 analysis of these fragments, let war. so to conclude, that the missile was not launched by russia to the waters to be shahrokhi thought it was probably an es, $300.00 rockets 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 wits habit tree.

russia on tuesday launched dozens of crews my southern drones at civilian targets in ukraine as president putin sheets to compensate for battlefield defeats with terror. hello, ukrainian president vladimir polanski denied that a ukrainian air defense missile had gone. of course, he called for his own investigators to be granted access to the site drains, comple, 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 of a data available to our partners. and to his sight of the explosion do me. we will, in his remarks, the incident has not weakened the resolve of ukraine's key ally 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, but its territory intact. with nato unlikely to join the fight, ukraine will need all the material support it can get. a franklin bridge is a military analyst at the university of portsmouth, and he told us more about russia's current military strategy in ukraine. the strategy is quite straightforward. it's called strategic bombing. they aim is to undermine the well to fight of the ukrainian people by under cutting their living conditions for my own, for speaking to your credit people that is failing on the country. it's making them far more determined and more angry. but the strategy and it is a strategy, it's called strategic bombing, and it will fail as all similar campaigns of failed by the way. now let's start

with that. poland. on tuesday we have nato and poland saying, this looks like it was ukraine, acting, and self defense with miss are gone, gone astray were present the landscape, still pointed the finger at russia. what are we to make of this every missile? it's 5 i could. yeah, i that will hit its target, has to come down again. this was a ukrainian antiaircraft massage fight at russian aggression essentially missed its target as all to many do. and it had to fall to work. it fell to work in poland. that's the fact of it. i think for what it's worth the president landscape team might be better advised to accept the verdict of polish experts. they know what they're doing, and nato experts. and furthermore, others who seen photographs of the incident apologize. but making the point that this is the russian responsibility quite rightly and move on. that would be the better approach, i think. now the kremlin is now saying that russia will not use nuclear weapons.

can this statement be trusted? no, nothing that the company says can be trusted. i suspect myself, this is the result of several exchanges between senior american. both ortiz, particularly general miley and mister biden's, foreign office or state department of defense teams. and they checked sullivan over the last month or so with their russian counterparts. been made clear that russian nuclear either strike or demonstration would be a suicide note. i think the russians have taken us on board. that said, there will be decision points over the next few months where step sabres will be rattled again, and the threat level will go up for now. i think we can say quite safely. for the rest of the year. i need to next year, those tables all main, see what we started. contrast. what kind of says just suits them. now to say it, frank, that were there minutes around most of the university of portland. thank you very

much. at the club, 20 southern u. m. a 27 rather un climate summit in sharm el shake in egypt. well, leaders have been making pledges on climate action. german foreign minister arnold in our burbock told reporters that germany was committed to trying to keep warming to 1.5 degrees celsius transition away from fossil fuels and boost aid to poor countries. hit hardest by global warming. for far too long since 2015. also as european stay through hack disgust, going with air for the medium town goes in 20 or 30, but it is not, it is time, but we know that c o 2 is accumulating in the air and we can get it out of the air in 20 or 30 years time. so it is so important that we have this wrap program to define concrete goals for the coming years. healy reduction steps need to be included in that program. so it was important that we as the european union during this comp, made it very clear again that we are continuously. i'm not so 9. 1 is i,

n b c a, reviewing our national. it's at tim of contributions. and as mr. tamrand has made clear our own fit for 55 goals being has been increased. i'm not joined by a correspondent, julia saw deli at cop 27 in shonell. shake it julia germany's firm. and it's donna babcock spoke a bit to day. what stood out for you in that statement. yeah. as we've heard the focus on the 1.5 degree goal, the goal to try to keep global warming up below. 1.5 degrees is something that other than a point to and i babbled, pointed out, still very much being important for germany. and that is also significant because we've heard that here at corporate, there were some countries were considering a backtracking. they were hesitant of wanting to keep that goal at the forefront of

climate negotiations. but we've seen in a draft document of the final agreement that that target of 1.5 degrees is still in the agreement here at cop. and that is something that is very significant. a 2nd important point is how i don't. and i babble, pointed out that she and germany want to see the phase out of all fossil fuels contained in the agreements. and that is something that is not likely to happen if we look at the draft at the moment. it only includes the phase out of coal and does not also include gas and oil, something that in a european countries. and also india are currently pushing for and a 3rd important issue is that of financing and how germany has said it is open at to see the creation of a fund to, to support economically, the developing countries that are being hit, the hardest by climate change. now you mentioned that germany is pushing for that solution to financing,

but is there any sign that an agreement will be reached on that at that conference? this is one of the sticking points under the negotiations at the moment. and we see basically 2 fronts on the one side, the developing countries, and also china will have put forward a proposal to include already a mechanism for a so called lawson damage fund. a mechanism with which rich countries can provide the financial means the money to developing countries to help them overcome and adapt to a severe consequences of climate change that the poor countries are suffering the most. now they want to see a clear mechanism already in the agreement this year at cobb. and on the other side we have the rich countries, including the u. s. and e. u. countries that are more hesitant. they agree that a fund is necessary, but they do not really want to see a clear mechanism defined here. they want to take more time to discuss what it

should look like. and they're also hesitant to commit so much money, the billions of, of euros in dollars of that developing countries say, are needed. they don't want to be liable in the long term for such big sums of money. and this is really the crucial issue here at carbon. we're, we're going to have to see whether they can find the middle ground to agree on the ws. julia saw deli, they're reporting from channel shake. thank you, julia. now iraq is one of those countries that could benefit from loss. damage from the countries really on the effects of climate change sandstorms are frequent and legs have dried up as high as much of an agricultural land. 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 iraq's many dry lakes. the sour lake was a national landmark. hydrologists are hon. i'll how far, gee, often brought his students here to the water the drying up of the saw were lake is though swells are meant for agriculture. but that didn't help iraq last half of it, agricultural land to the desert this year. when some days temperature is reached and unbearable, 55 degrees. thousands of farmers have left their villages. i saw them leave ark. when i got you, will you see it over the country is the desolate. well, the earth is full of salt, but we've become poor that 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 hvac and yvonne, a son halle from the university of basra, explains how yvonne has diverted 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 than that. and i really haven't a jaw about anela, but if you took a picture here 40 years ago, it would have been dark green in the field. all kinds of palm trees grew here with expensive unique dates and gardens, full of citrus fruit. lucky land had gone to america, so i came in humbly odd. ah, but doubt 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 the living will for may bother to work with spec sea levels to continue to rise due to climate change. and the land here is not high enough that we should contribute in less than 30 years. parts of southern iraq could be inundated by the sea level that some of the other stories making headlines today. ukraine says the deal that allows it to export grain for the black sea will be extended by 4 months . turkey, which, how broker the agreement confirmed the initiative will continue under existing terms. spokesperson says president, she jan thing was not criticizing cannabis prime minister, just intruder hearing an exchange between the 2 leaders. at this week's g 20 summit . the footage published by canadian broadcasting showed she confronting trudel over
