government workers and regular citizens pitched in to make a start cleaning up right now for me is this the cleanup? what i can get this cleared and then try to see who else i can help. a tall order after the massive storm peeled off, roofs tossed vehicles and ripped trees out of the ground. but more help is on the way. i've had the opportunity over the last couple of hours to speak with the homeland security secretary as well as president biden, who have offered a tremendous amount of support. anything that arkansas they say have assured us that those resources will be here and on the ground more videos emerge from residents who found themselves in the wrong place. at the moment the tornadoes touch down, ah, ah, ah, thoughtfully,

with the destruction was quick. but the effort to rebuild from a storm this large will take time. why have there been so many tornadoes in the united states this year? i earlier put that to matthew caput, she 8 meteorologist in washington, d. c. and that's a great question. yeah, we tend to see tornadoes like clockwork. every spring in the united states are couple different reasons. number one, winters kind of ending right now. that cold air is retreating at the same time, the gulf of mexican moisture is trying to build northwards with the war to get past the season's over the central united states and that bruce thunderstorm, not the same time. the gesture is still, it's winter time position. it's strong, it's a river wind, that's racing overhead. so the thunderstorm thick world, thank you. seasonal class, how many digits? 3, if you'll rotation and they start to spin. so we see this every april may in june, roughly 660 tornadoes, an average during that interim. so far this year that we've been well above average,

january about $120.00 tornadoes. march a $55.00, which is twice with normal marginally above average as well. and there's no stop anytime soon. and can you explain for us the link between tornadoes and climate change? does it affect the frequency and intensity of tornadoes we're seeing? so i think right now we're still not exactly sure the role of climate change is playing on tornadoes. it does not appear to be influencing the intensity tornadoes and the frequency is, are kind of still out on that. what i will say that, you know, we're not necessarily seeing more tornadoes. we're seeing the patterns of where and when they occur shifting a little bit, for example, we're seeing more in the winter months talk about november december, january in the past, temperatures weren't necessarily warm enough to get those top thunderstorms nowadays are warming, just not those storms are growing a little bit taller, sort of a fuel gesturing. so that's issue number one at the same time to there's a long term trend which are shifting away from the plains away from texas, oklahoma, nebraska, kansas, and more towards like the u. s. southeast. we're not sure if that part

a long term cycle that we're not aware of yet, or if it's a climate driven trend. ok, so there cropping up in places and at times that you wouldn't expect the united states though, is historically very affected by tornadoes. why is that yet we're the tornado capital the world we see about $1600.00 of them every single year. the only other place that can even close to that are, for example, bangladesh is the a couple dozen to run a 100 per year of our to south america as well works in europe, but nothing like united states. the reason being, who canadian air war, mcguffey, mexico, the clash every year at the same time making the predictable onslaught of swarming storms. thank you so much for bringing us up to speed there. that is matthew capuchin meteorologist in washington. d. c. for russia has taken over the rotating presidency of the united nations security council, sparking furious reaction in ukraine keeps foreign minister to metro qu, labor called it a quote slap in the face for the international community. ukraine had urged members

to block the move, but the us says there's no mechanism for doing so. the largely ceremonial role puts moscow in charge of setting the security council's agenda use. ukraine's president would amuse the lensky condemned russia's presidency as absurd in his daily address . he said, it shows the council is a bankrupt institution named wine will. there is no form of terror. russia has not committed and there's no reason to stop the reform of global institutions. in particular, the un security council reform is clearly overdue, so that the terrorist states, or any other state that wants to be a terrorist state, cannot disrupt peace. terrorists must lose, must be held accountable for terror and not to prevail anyway. let's hear also from mike martin, a former british army officer. now we can college london. he told me earlier, what the russian presidency of the security council is likely to mean for ukraine. i think the best way of looking at this is over the last year they have been to,

to was a one is war rhetoric and the other is a war that's actually been on the ground over territory. and as we've seen a lawsuit has been a lot of rhetoric, there's been also talk with nuclear weapons. there's been lots of talk of all sorts of things and most of them haven't come to pass. so if i were you kind of course, they have to protest about this, but i don't think it will amounts to very much on the ground, which is where the real fight is being for. so you see this as largely a symbolic, not something that will have actual implications on the battle ground. that's correct. so for example, you know, russia can set the gender of the security council. so they might bring a motion that is in their favor. but there are other, you know, 3 of the other members here to counsel britain, france in the u. s. army on the crime side. they will have the power. so really is just a war was that nothing will come of it. and i can bring you up to speed now it with

some other stories making news around the world. tens of thousands of israelis have again joint protests against the government plan, judicial overhaul. prime minister benjamin netanyahu has put the plans on hold. but critics say the changes would compromise the judiciary independence and they want them scrapped entirely. thousands of people have protested over the housing crisis in portugal. soaring rents and house prices combined with high inflation and low wages have left many struggling to afford accommodation. the government has announced plans to force owners to rent out vacant properties and po francis says he will lead easter celebrations of the vatican. 86 year old pontiff has left hospital after a 3 day stay where he was treated for bronchitis. while there he also visited a children's cancer ward and baptized a baby ah,

to fulfill now and the buddha's legal whereby our munich, a coach at thomas to ha saw his new side a beat. his former club barissi a dormant for to one of the biggest matches in germany. football for years with dorman grange. the game in 1st place. an awful gold keeping mistake, help st. buyer back to the top. not since the champions league, final of 2013 has a meeting between these 2 old rivals. being such a high stakes, a fat dormant were flying high before the spectra, but in 23 disastrous minutes were brought crushing down to us. winds opener on 13 minutes was the result of a surreal gold keeping blunder from dormant stopper cagle kobe. a long bull by dialing from a corner from inside the buying hall catastrophically misjudged by the keeper. it was a nightmare star for the swiss, and worse was on its way. a simple coolness. so don't men suffer then next

set back. when matthias did leaks, head out was turned home by thomas mula. and 5 minutes after that. mila maybe 3. when a luckless cool was still the blue at his feet off the diving to stop, leroy sundays. long range effort 23 minutes into his career as point coach thomas too, who could hardly believe his luck, while dalton's dreadful 1st half had their seasons work in jeopardy. the 2nd 45 brought yet more goals, starting with a full, full host, courtesy of kingsley command. then following this foul on jude bellingham in the by and bought emery chan fly at home, is spotty to make it for one. but it was a goal, more of consolation than of consequence, much like dorman 2nd school by danielle marlin in the 19th minute. da damage, of course, had long since been done. disaster for dormant as by an retake top spot in the put

his legal with 8 games left to play. so joining me in the studio now to discuss today's classic eyes tom again away from d. w as a sports tom. so we know today was at home as a 2 goals. first match in charge at byron munich. not a bad start was an absolutely not certainly wasn't. i mean, what a 1st day on the job was a way to impress your new bosses. there had been, of course, so much pressure on this game because a dormant victory would have seen them go for points clear at the top of the table . but instead it was a perfect start the thomas to hook up our munich. it was dolan's, 9th successive defeat. in the alien serena in munich, it's not a place that they enjoy playing. and the thomas took, that means that he, in his new job has really hit the ground running by and have reasserted themselves at the top of the table recapturing top spot. and yet in all respects, really a perfect start for thomas taco, not that he as the perfection,

his coach that he is, was totally happy with everything that he saw today. the result was right, but the performance left a little bit to be desired. in his view, here's what he had to say after the game. of course, it's a perfect result for us. we don't like the to go so we conceded from marlis. one shot us right away, a goal and became for way of hunting. ah, we had chances for far more goes. so then it's a perfect result. but a lot, a lot of things to, to improve. so still a great day for a total and buyer, obviously. not so happy for the dartmouth goalkeeper greg koval k. talk us through his performance today. yeah. today was nothing less than a nightmare for craig or cobra. it has to be said a went wrong right from the very, very start. just 30 minutes into the game and he missed judges the bounce from this long bull from die o, pammy carno doesn't really need to be there. he's too far out of his goal, and he's even unlucky enough to have this gives

a given as an own goal against him because that was rude as a contact, so that's on down as his own goal. then the 2nd goal from the corner, thomas miller eventually finishes it, and greg or colbert is unlucky enough to have this collision with the post as he goes down to try and save it. and the 3rd, he spills along. sure, you know his bills, the short, he stops the shop as bills it. right to the feet of a poaching striker. you know, when you have a day like this, when you're goalkeeper, when it rains, it pours, and poor old greg colbert found himself to day in the middle of a deluge. it really was a date of, again, unfortunately, those days tend to be the ones that stick in your memory. it's going to be tough, i think for him to sleep. and i, i, you know, he certainly does have the backing of his coat at, in tears. it, here is what it entails. it had to say about craig or colbert after full time. today in munich, i gave a corvell. it's the reason why we are here and having like this kind of games. and we've been top of the table because of him. and so we know that he's one of the

best goalies in europe, and he was out standing for us the season and he will be the outstanding and, and for wednesday on he's going to be again very important effective for us to be successful. so let's consider the big picture just for a moment ago, byron, back on top, 8 games left to play. this new coach was today the day that a dark men title hopes were fully dashed. ah, well, you know, 8 games are still a possible 24 points. for each team, there are 2 points in it now at the top of the table. so by ins lead of course, just 2 points is still closed. and this did a fair distance to go. but you know, there is a lot that speaks the by and now they will enjoy bounce because of thomas to whose arrival he's only going to get better as he gets to know the team or by and of course have this winning dna. and with a victory over their nearest rival, was that such a mental boost for them? whereas for dormant, they had been in such fine form if they can re discover that they had 9 wins intent

before today in this kind of the year and still $9.11 is not bad. with games left, you know, the season is far from over. but champions have to win games like this and the fact that dorman didn't win today. they certainly didn't do their hopes any favors. thank you so much for bringing us up to speed. that is to get away from d w. sports really appreciate it. and that is your news update office. our thanks much for joining us. if you do want wanting analysis, you can of course find it on the website at d. w dot com. i'm clear, richardson and berlin for me in the team. thanks for watching. ah every journey with we've done all out with.
