very, very sad. yeah. so no more about la valley story in for my gosh, reliable news from my grants, wherever they may be. ah ah, this is dw my from berlin. at least for dead as destructive storms tear for several u. s. and states, arkansas declares, and emergency after tornado strikes, leave a trail of devastation. also on the program, russian president vladimir putin orders a fresh wave of army conscription. the kremlin insists the call up is routine and

has nothing to do with a war in ukraine. and counting down the biggest bonus league our show down in years a by our munich and their new coach take on policy, adorned with a top sports wraps ah, hello monica jones. good to have you with us. at least 4 people have been killed and dozens more injured to our storms hit. the south east and mid west of the united states. authorities and the state of arkansas have declared an emergency. if the latest in a series of extreme weather events being linked to climate change, while motorists films, a menacing tornado ripping through iowa. and it appears to be accompanied by a 2nd twister to the left.

my god, i'm not all of her out. there part of several on the radar of the national weather service, mostly in arkansas and iowa. oh my god, we got it. and so now the beast of a storm left behind this footprint, leaving it survivors. glad to have made it through all the way we knew the tornado was coming. the lease was whirling on the way we knew it looked like it was standing steel. someone say run to the bank, mainly to ladies here. ran to the bank we had together and we pray for our last our man, it was, it was devastating. it was, i say it was an aeroplane and, and had to take higher add that to the news seems like they're about that blow as well. so my goes a lot of pressure, it was quick, less than 1520 seconds. so quick yet so destructive.

more than $78000.00 people are estimated to be without paw across arkansas. and authorities describe the damage as extensive does spoken to i the leadership of hospitals, both here in central arkansas in around the state. ah, right now we have a number of injuries, but no individual hospital has been overwhelmed or is at a capacity that they are unable to to manage. like i said, this is an ongoing situation. we expect those numbers to increase. a search and rescue continues. the severe weather also struck illinois where the roof of a theatre collapse during a concert official c, around $260.00 people were in the building at the time an octave tornado season in the united states is getting even worse for more on this. let's talk to matthew capuchin. he's a measure ologist in washington,

d. c. matthew, good to have you with us. perhaps you could explain 1st of all, why we have been seeing so many tornadoes in recent months. most definitely, you know, every spring we see tornadoes like clockwork. things to winter trying to retreat. you have summer time warm building in the gulf, mexico and usually april may and june is a seasonal class. so obviously it's a busy time of year and we average about $660.00 tornadoes during that time frame. what we've seen already that was been a very active start to the year we saw over $200.00 tornadoes in january. the 2nd most on record. we saw 55 in february twice as many as normal in march. we'll go down the books is obviously very busy too. now part of the reason, of course, natural variability just to randomly busy here, but also lun media is playing a role to that is the weather system. this starts with cooler waters in the eastern drop, the pacific, and then shuttles the position of the jet stream, shovels a position of keen weather systems. and in this case, made for a little bit more busy activity. we chipley c. so it's partly just the time year,

but partly with supercharge, thanks to anemia. and oh, what would you say i'm, i'm, is it fair to say that that could be a link between climate change and the frequency of tornadoes? so in terms of climate change and the frequency of tornadoes, i would say no, we're probably not seeing big uptake in the number of tornadoes. what it will say though, is we're seeing changes in the patterns as to where and when they occur. in other words, we're seeing more than we have cool season events now in the wintertime, particularly november, december, and january. when in the past, it might have been too cool for tornadoes. now we're seeing it a little bit warmer. we're seeing a little bit easier for thunderstorms, grow tall enough to feel the gesturing. winds in start rotating. so we're seeing more tornadoes that time of year. conversely, we're seeing fewer tornadoes over the u. s. great plains, perhaps things to climate change. of course it gets dryer out there during the month of may, and that's in the past few years weekend. how many tornadoes was in place like oklahoma, kansas, texas. and so i wouldn't say there's a strongly between how many tornadoes we see in climate change, right?

it is just sort of changing when they occur. and matthew, could you just briefly put it in a nutshell for us, the u. s. is particularly affected by tornadoes. why is that the u. s. is kind of the perfect place worldwide where we get backlash of cool canadian air and warm moist air from the gulf of mexico. those to sorta just meet over the u. s. in wage war every single spring and summer time. and unfortunately, it's very predictable. but the impacts and in the lesser pretty severe. we saw 56 reported tornadoes with this pass outbreak and more likely come tuesday. ok, thank you so much. massey could put a metro ologist and washington d. c. now a fresh wave of ami conscription is getting on the way in russia, president vladimir putin has find a decree calling up nearly 150000 citizens of military service. 120000 others were recruited in november. the criminal says the latest conscription is routine and has nothing to do with the war in ukraine. russian men, aged between $18.27 can be called up for

a year in the army. kremlin has also outlined its new foreign policy doctrine, which is a, it called so peaceful, open and consistent. he w, russia, analysts, constantine egg, give us his assessment wasn't adjusted, amended, our foreign policy concept of russia with much more focus on interaction with china and india. but also there are 2 things which i noticed in the text and which were actually also stressed by foreign minister sergei level 1st or the document uses the term peaceful coexistence between russia and the united states. this is a solid term which actually meant a balance of power and the balance of nuclear threats. it's quite a throwback to the previous, a rhetoric and our rather against the previous more peaceful rhetoric that was, that was in this document. secondly, what is interesting, the west is proclaimed in this adjusted renewed document as an existential

threat to russia. that is ominous because only according to russian military and nuclear doctrine, only an existential threat can push the russian leadership to use nuclear weapons. so it is definitely shot across the bow, across the west bow to say, we are prepared to use nukes, right? and constantly, just very briefly. but in this context, as of today, russia takes over the un security council, rotating presidency for the coming month. how is this going to work? is not going to work very well because definitely what russia is doing is against the un charter. it is a joke in many ways. i think we're going to see a lot of workouts in the are in the room where the united nations security council sits in new york is going to be i think, quite a lot of shop confrontations for, for the time that russia chairs that go to the house, all right, constantine,

it's dw, russia analysts joining us from felony as concert in thank you so much. thank you. meanwhile there's no let up in the fighting in ukraine, but it appears russia is failing to make any significant progress. military analyst frank led, which in oxford england gave us his take on the situation. the ukrainians have been signaling a counter offensive as i think that all your viewers will know for the last 6 months or so. certainly since september, the objective of which is to situate them so they can begin to retake or situate them so they can re take their land including crimea. now they the declarations out of key ever been a bit less bullish over the last few weeks. because of course, the battle of batman and other battles on the current, other places in the south have been raging and ukrainian, i think aren't necessarily confident they're going to get all the equipment i need to carried out. the bottom line is, and the takeaway is that both sides have taken huge losses over the winter. neither

has made any significant gains and we're waiting for the next phase, which is likely to be a ukrainian attack within the next 6 weeks. and i was military analyst, frank led, which and oxford speaking to us earlier. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. u. s. president joe biden has called on russia to release a wall street journal reporter being held on buying charges. the biden has rejected calls from the papers editors to expel russian diplomats journalist to ethan goes. cabbage denies. espionage of francis says he will lead easter celebrations at the vatican. the 86 year old pontiff has left hospital after a 3 day stay. he was treated for bronchitis. while there he visited the children's council ward and baptized baby. the biggest fixture in to him and club football kicks off in a little over an hour's time by munich. host barissi at dought,

answer to hull? the chelsea champions league winner in 2021 and former dorman coach was not given much preparation time. the head of the bonus league is most attractive match school's measures. a big game happens. we want to go back to the top of the league them. we won't be champions if we wind my society for and we will by no means right off the championship if we don't. but of course, we want to send a message. we've had extremely little preparation time, but we know exactly what we expect from ourselves. and what the fans expect from us, las vegas defense finance of arden to host a view is a tall order. the top rash buyer have high expectations. one being to always defeat dought me. history favors buyer in their classical. however, earlier this season, the fixture ended in a draw with a victory doors. men would be one step closer to their 1st goodness, legal title,

since 2012, the last time a team other than buyer one milli is widely seen as germany's most important living artist gear had reached the electrified, the art world by donating 100 of his works to berlin, now they going on show up as it is newly renovated modern art gallery. ah mosaics of spray painted enamel squares, abstract color fields on paper, and over painted photographs. few contemporary artists have embraced experimentation as wholeheartedly as 91 year old gerhardt reached her. over decades, he's explored the possibilities and limitations of the medium of painting. as is due, the un believable diversity of his approach to image as a painting that makes registers work so fascinating, richer, achieved fame with his monochrome photo paintings in the 19 sixty's. when he was

part of a generation, struggling to deal with germany's war time passed, his uncle, rudy in vermont uniform alongside at mariana, killed in a nazi eugenics program. can art address the horror of the holocaust registers answer not directly. in his bare canal paintings he projected photographs secretly taken in the auschwitz bare canal death camp on to canvas. then he applied layers of paint, veiling the image in abstraction. yeah, to the sly, all based on the series toward the world, it was on display in japan, the us and many other places because it's a very strong statement to say. these are images that are unbearable to look at and can't be shown directly in the context of art. they can only be a race through color and abstraction. so on all is the relationship between reality and representation lies at the heart of richness work. whether he drags a squeegee over layers of wet paint or designs,

a digital print like the work strict on a computer. his artistic inquiry remains ambitious. the unveiling of his collection on permanent loan is set to draw crowds to berlin's noah not to na gallery from april. oh, that's all from me for now. coming up next, a documentary looks at china's ambitions to expound its influence in the arctic. don't forget this. always more news on our website. that's d, w dot com and our social media handle is at d de leon hughes. i'm monica jones and berlin. thanks for watching. when you work as an architect, jacqueline, or not at all women in architecture. why are they so invisible? to the larger public, we decided to ask them the passes and what is the poetry the secret of a house.
