the, the, this is dw news lie, but from berlin tonight, a warning from russia for the west do not send advanced fighter jets. do you great? the 16th promised by keeps the allies, could change the odds in this work. russia says it raises the risk of escalating the conflict and of pulling nato into the bathroom. also coming up to night. the aftermath of devastating floods in the democratic republic of congo. will africa

face more disasters like this? as the planet gets warmer and we know what to do to slow when mitigate climate change, what happens if we don't at the break off is good to have you with this onto this monday. a warning from russia sending up 16 fighter jets to ukraine, will raise the risk of nato being dragged into the work over the weekend at the g 7 summit's in japan, you cranes, allies pledge to supply, keep with the us fighter jets ukrainian president the landscape assuring washington that the plains will not be used to strike russian territory. a lot to me is a landscape during what turns out to be a highly successful visit to japan. so it's

a start for us as invasion. ukrainian president has had one consistent message for his western allies, more weapons for ukraine. and the g 7 summit in hiroshima, along health and vision came true of, of coming us resistance to supplying ukraine was f. 16 fighter jets with thousands of essex themes in service. and dozens of countries the best outside to is seen by keith as it passed across to challenge rushing as a perry. alrighty. us president joe biden had long resisted keith to month. fee of the conflicts spreading the on to cranes, borders. but also allies, such as a u. k. and the netherlands pushed for sending do estimates yet to ukraine. but until to lensky, he had finally dropped his objections. as i told the united states together with our allies and partners is going to begin training. ukrainian pilots,

in 4th generation fighter crack including f, 16 to strengthen ukraine's air force as part of a long term commitment to ukraine's ability to defend itself. we provided to last year, all that they needed to deal with what they were dealing with at the moment. and that's where the now we're moving in the direction of putting him in position to be able to be defend themselves in ways beyond what they've had to deal with so far. the one with the u. s. veto gone. ukraine's allies are free, designate the 16 to keep them all, but it's a modern look some yeah, we're working on it to i'm not, i'm sure because we already know which countries we will work with that. obviously what's on that, even before we lot with the training program for the sixteens, we will get the planes for now i can't say how many is not the secrets anymore. i didn't know myself and the secret, it'd be so. so in this not rush asked estimates the impact of private jets would have on the battlefield,

could suggest that the use would raise the spectre of nato involvement in the conflict. but in the past, most cost threats have failed to prevent the ukraine from upgrading. it's awesome. all right, let's pick this up now because the defense analysts marina their own from the defense studies department at kings college london arena. it's good to see you again. so walk us through these f. 16 fighter jets and where are the jets most likely going to come from? and when could they real listing really be in the air? oh, thank you for having me as a problem with the ac. 16 jets um firstly we don't know which countries will be the meetings. busy fighter jets and how many? because um presumably poland, denmark and then as a lens the okay, does it have any or if it, at 16 jets, for instance. and of course that you asked could made some at 16 jets as well when they would be in the air is

a difficult question because we need to ensure that the pilots are trained on the wrong hands. on the other hand, ground crews need to be trained as well, and it takes time. so talking about using those fighter jets in the upcoming comprehensive is unrealistic because the infrastructure is not there yet. the just need to run waste, as i said me wrong. who's and so on. so um, it would be very optimistic to seeing that they will be arriving and creating in a couple of months. and the question is, what difference will they make when they finally make it to ukraine? one ever seen a rush. but, but maureen, we are assuming that you creating and pilots have not already been in training to fly these jet. so be, there is a possibility that and of a walk me to pilots already have the training. that wouldn't make a difference when it as well that will make a difference. but as i said, you also have to train the crews the ground because the,

the japs needs to be maintained and they need a support. so those crews needs to be trained and essentially it doesn't depend only on the pilots in order to be able to operate those jazz. and we haven't heard anything about any efforts to 3 crews to, to make the subjects usable for ukraine. we also have heard anything about preparing the runways. um, as far as i know, some wrong ways in western decree will be with purpose for the fighter chance. however, for where will they be launched? is another question, because certainly russia will be watching and will be trying to target any potential airfields, whereas those chats will be stationed within the crate. and let's say for you, looking into the future $34.00 or 5 months. and we do have some of these pilots on tested and are trained and they're ready to fly. what difference would these f, 16 fighter jets make in the war as well, sir, radically. um,

because russia didn't have air supremacy from the start and is struggling right now . the air power component has been very weak and ukraine, so the ukranian side could take advantage of that and having these multi purpose chairs, which are more or less to make 29 depending of course on the number the quote um, for instance, increase the range of the premium was one they, they are looking to stripe high value targets behind enemy lines without putting people in the furnace. and um, for instance, store storm shuttle missiles being delivered um by the pay could be used together with a little chat to support certain recent fighter jets which would deploy those missiles . so essentially your premiums could be as frightening critical infrastructure. they could be as far as practical minded control center, so as well for the to the air competing quotes takes place in the especially

knowing that a russian era defenses up probably not going to pick up the. it was a signature open access. they never face and that's to see in battle of life when we're talking about so get 4 or 5. yeah. yeah. i think we're, we're going to be entering some new territory here if and when these planes are up and flying for the ukrainian military. that is for sure. marina moran from the defense studies department of kings college has always been reading. we appreciate your time in your analysis. thank you. thank you for having me. the police here in germany are investigating the suspect in poisoning of 2 russian journalists who attended a conference right here in berlin. the women were treated at the cities and shari tay hospital. they were in the german capital for an event organized by kremlin critic the cal protocol scheme. several points in attacks, both in russia and abroad,

have targeted opponents of president vladimir fulton for more now on possible poisoning here in berlin. i want to get our political correspondent assignment young. he's following this assignment. what more can you tell us about this? yeah, potential poisoning cases. yeah, brent. this story. yeah. originated on a russian language website against apple, which is not a kremlin supporting sites expensive site. now. they reported that these 2 women had attended this conference in the berlin, organized by opposition figure because coach ski and they subsequently reported the symptoms they could point to towards a poisoning. one of the women has been identified as a natalia all know, she is the director over at n g o cold uh,

the free russia foundation that she said she fell down well, but she subsequently travelled on to prague. she said she had a numbness and sharp pain and strange symptoms, and she then returned to us where she's based. now the other woman is a russian journalist and she has since posted on social media to say that. so she confirms that she's been having treatment at the secretary hospital in berlin, but she said she's got nothing to do with anything that happened at that conference . and she's also cooled on people to, you know, refrain from speculation. so i think what we can say, it's a story where a lot of the details are still unclear. yeah. that because unclear of it, but the, the, i guess the possibility of being poisoned it can considering the connections that these women, these journalists have. it's not that far fetched because we've seen, we've seen things like this before, haven't we? so yeah, i mean, it seems that poisoning is one of the favorite uh, uh,

tactics of the russian plan. this time, services one thinks of the case of the form is by alexander length and then co was boys and in the u. k. 2006. that was double agents like a script following his daughter, who was poisoned in the u. k. as well. politician, a journalist, bloody me, a car, a mazda has been poise more than once in russia. and of course, alexa in the valley, the opposition leader who was poisoned back in 2020 and he had to, of course, was treated at the sheriff's. i also here in berlin, so i think you can say there is superficial plausibility. and at least that this could be sort of malicious action by the russian or far it is a, there's an f b i investigation without in the us. we have in germany, this has been being looked at by the state security unit of the police. they're the ones who look into terrorism are politically motivated crime. so it looks as if they are taking it very seriously,

and we'll wait to see if any details emerge from those investigations. dw simon young with the ladies night from here in berlin. simon. thank you. let's take a look now and some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . bella bruce, has released an opposition blogger snatched from a riot of air flights after this, forced to land in the country. 2 years ago of state media released this video of a roman full tasks of it, saying that he has now been pardoned after a court just a few weeks ago and handed him an 8 year prison sentence contender who finished a 3rd in turkey's presidential elections has formerly endorsed incumbent president richard tire of air the one in the upcoming runoff election is altered nationalist candidates in oregon. took more than 5 percent of the votes back on the 14th. that helped deprive air to one of in l y victor. the portuguese officials say that

police are preparing to search a reservoir 50 kilometers from the resort where british toddler, madeline, the con, went missing back in 2007. the search was apparently requested by german authorities last year. a german national was formerly made a suspect in the case funded activists in italy have poured a black liquid into a rooms. trevi fountain there, calling for an end to public subsidies for fossil fuels. they blame the government for the floods that are currently devastating parts of northern. it'll well floods and cause death and devastation in the democratic republic of congo was well, heavy rain is triggered land slides in a remote mountain is part of south key. bu, province farms and whole villages are in ruins. in more than 400 people have been killed. another 5000 are missing. as the casual maya

gum that 70 years old. and she survived the down huge but had left her as one of the few still living and her family. the torrance tore away an entire generation that made up with an icy last i've been a widow for 25 years. my children died and left me their children. how should i raise them? i ask god to take me to because i don't know what to do. the slots took her plot too, and therefore whole existence. she says her only hope now lies in her remaining family . supporting food prices have tripled. residents say the red cross police with more than 8000 people are in need of urgency. many tiring assistance, lack of clean water has forced people to start drinking water from the lake. toilets has been washed away, exposing people to water born diseases. aiden does the

guy, i was among those selling food at the mock at that day. and the heavy rain stops to for sheltering in a nearby house. she watched the dissolves to unfold somewhere, lock them up front of you know, that the end and some people decided to leave in the rain even with their children . and all the things they bought at the market. all their goods for the drowned was everything in the water and died right there with their whole family and family and apple for 994 and i 7 of her relatives died that day. her own children are still missing. room badly worked out when i made the maya, we could not find their bodies, nothing else. so we started morning by now on with my existence, my house has vanished. i have nothing left. not even underwear to court and c o for college. and my older brother's house has gone to the island where i, with linda, and thousands are still missing and the bodies decomposing under the rubble. 2

weeks of the devastation swept away hundreds of lives. rescue workers say they are still overwhelmed by the sheer number of forces to be recovered. they faced along grim task of digging up the dead and identifying them to be moaned, but their loved ones, the scientist say there is often a causal link between climate change and extreme weather events such as those floods in the democratic republic of congo. well, what are we doing about it? well, evidently, not enough. a new study ones that current climate policies will leave more than a 5th of humanity living and dangerously hot temperatures by the year 2100. the research coordinated by the university of exeter in the u. k highlights the risk of failing to tackle the climate emergency. now lieutenant mentor, family,

or sheltering from extreme heat temperatures outside solar above 40 degree celsius . they've taken to setting still just to survive today and then maybe that's why we got that up. i went outside last week and when i came back, i was sick. i'm still weak and sweaty and i don't want to be anything or move around too much. i think it was huge stroke. we have the and have you got my to me in law was one of many places in southeast asia recently hit by record sheets. it was similar in india hotspot, but people living in dangers temperatures according to climate scientists to warn it is set to get much worse. currently, around 60000000 people on asked live in dangerous heat without bridge temperatures of 29 degrees or above. by the end of the century, that number will grow to 2000000000 based on current population on temperature

projections. so that's like a profound reshaping of habits, ability of the, the surface of the planet. and it could lead potentially, to large scale reorganization of where people live. such massive social upheaval like not seen here in somalia can be avoided. but only if government act urgently to achieve the rate of change. we need to limit global warming anyway. they have one and a half degrees, c means something like a 5 times fading up of the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions over the call. but i is ation ethical. i have an economy among the ways to do that. accelerate, social and technological change by expanding renewable energy projects like this one and giving up fossil fuels altogether. authorities have begun demolishing a shanty town on

a remote french territory in the indian ocean within the impoverished come morose islands of thousands of coma runs set sail for the area every year hoping to find a higher living standards. but locals complain about high levels of crime and the strain on social services. a sense of anguish fills the air as neighbors watch their homes collapse, the menu documented more unlike runs lift here. they came to the island of my yacht in search for a better life. my yacht is thousands of kilometers from mainland firms, and by far it pours corner. but neighboring camaros is far poor, and many, especially young people make the journey across. but now france has had enough, it has deployed hundreds of police officers to my york to clear it slums and

expelled on documented microns planing. both for increased and security. operation will in busher, which means take back in the local language has triggered flashes between use and security forces as well as a diplomatic spot with tomorrow's. the french government has deported an average of $25000.00 koreans per year since 2018 camaro has has been reluctant to accept the dep ortiz saying it can cope hours before the demolition started. many rush to say their belongings. what are the ones that we're trying to recover everything that can be saved and published, and then we have no way to go because everything we have is being dismantled. so if that's a is a quiet word and contribute like everyone else to my system. and today i'm being taken out as i don't know much of it and i pay my taxes. if i pay my do use when i

have to, i contribute like everyone else on the islands, prefect says the goal of the operation is to offer french citizens, proper housing or not. basically, let me remind you that a 3rd of the inhabitants of unhealthy districts of french, we want to build a pathway with them, which allows them to go out of the shanty town into housing, barley available, the only noise. but the majority of the inhabitants of the slums cannot prove the french citizenship. o human rights associations have condemned operation, blue and bush. you are going. it violates the rights of migrants. but local elected officials and many of residents have supported it. she's expect to demolish over a 100 homes in the course of a week. and here are more stories that are making headlines this hour. armenia says that it's ready to recognize the contested, and they're going to cover bach region as part of visor by john. but armine is

prime minister says that either by john must guarantee the security of the regions ethnic armenians. the 2 countries have disputed no more, no power box ownership for decades. it's internationally recognized as part of a iser by john hungary has freed hundreds of foreigners who were convicted of people smuggling on condition that they leave. the country official said that the move was intended to free up space in the countries. prisons, all 3 is foreign minister says that his country has stepped up a border security and some of the hon, gary an ambassador to provide an explanation of the events or the parent company of facebook. meadow has received a record fine for breaching eve data protection laws, meta parent, the parent company of facebook, whatsapp and instagram will have to pay 1200000000 years. and it's been ordered to stop transferring user data to the united states by this coming october. of the

case was sparked by met, is failure to sufficiently protect the data from us intelligence surveillance. the company says that your plans to appeal with germany has big plans for renewable energy this decade, with wind turbines set to play a major role if they can find acceptance in the neighborhoods, especially in more world parts of the country. we're not all people are happy about the giant with mills. we're now some developers are finding clever ways of winning over residents, including by giving them a cut of the profits to the town under wind turbines. there are 37 of them in dodge of time. and those who live here see them all the time. like i go to going to his grandson doesn't know any different for his grandfather to. they have long been part of everyday life. we store those up to doesn't bother me at all. we sit outside

a lot in the summer and it's no problem. i put it in the mood is completely different. 120 kilometers further north, near luda. that's 44 wind turbines are in operation here, but no one likes them, like tanya schultz who misses her unobstructed view and something else upsets her. the increased electricity prices. she has to order electricity elsewhere, and her provider is now raised the price per kilowatt hour from $22.00 to $0.46 a month with letters. yes, one becomes naturally angry and they basically double the price per kilowatt hour. and that's, we've got everything on our doorstep and we don't get anything out of it to go. everything becomes more expensive and we get nothing. o one, please. types to bad does what? because they're sort of back in dodge of time. things are obviously very different here. the wind farm has made sure of that. it gets local residents a share of its profit. so residents can benefit from cheap electricity,

$0.30 per kilowatt hour. peter sholtes has opted for this. his previous provider raised the electricity price to almost $0.60 if it's the investment, but they are released because actually many things that increased that my money that has an increase much the wind farm does even more. the operator voluntarily transfers one percent of the profits to the child's associations. the mayor is also pleased with the income from the business taxed and can offer residents even more. the bill was one of our citizens and we limit this to our own village here and can make a direct capital investment in the wind farm unless they receive an annual interest of at least 4 percent off. yeah. and when the wind blows, it's even more fuel puts in. when the vin, with all mail word has spread, the secretary general of the world wind energy association from bon is visiting dot as time. he knows how important it is to get local residents on board. if the

energy turnaround is to succeed and you know, to see some people can identify with it, they become part of it. then they are to some extent and also lobbyist on the ground for wind energy. they want to have and ask themselves, um, there is a good chance that there will soon be more supporters of wind power in germany. companies are now legally required to involve local residents for tonya schultz. it's a little too late. a private space ex emission carrying saudi arabia's 1st female astronaut has docked at the international space station where yana bar now in a breast cancer in stem cell research or is the 1st it's all the women to fly to space commander pet joining her on the mission are a saw the fiber pilot and an american businessman. they are led by a retired nasa base. she's just asked her no hurdle on this mission. this is a reminder now of our top story. ukraine's president bottom is zalinski, as, as

a george, a pledge from the us at the g 7 summit in japan for the delivery of f. 16 fighter jets russian says that this is likely to lead to nato involvement in the complex you want your dw news? i'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news followed by the day. i hope to see you that the
