dot com the, the pro, delta has been a frontline and russia's war against ukraine for months. now. it's also the scene of an environmental disaster of epic proportions. ukraine's largest stem swept away tens of thousands of people have to be evacuated as the warring parties. blame each other for causing the collapse. the flooding has left entire village is submerged, threatening water supplies on both sides of the river, and has farmers once again, fearing for their livelihood. but it's not as water that's rolling through the contested territory. count, those mines that were buried in the river, banks are now feared to be flowing down stream along with the debris nichol for lation berlin. and this is the day the

russian forces blew up. the whole put them in the occupied territories in the south . so few mfc flooding, large scale evacuations, environmental devastation. the structure of newly plants is prompts. the key if this is the most committed, yet another terrorist crime and that incidents of highly sensitive stuff. what do you see a little bit more plants? youtube's lots as look you up to see that they are looking for every opportunity to stop. they're sent back from the front lines and not the devastating cost of west of the russian evasion of ukraine. also on the day apple, the latest one more thing is the next bang thing. the tech time has a new guides or that it says will change the world as we know it. so in the same way that mac introduced us to personal computing and hi phone introduced us to

mobile computing. apple vision probably will introduce us to spatial computing. welcome to the cell. as your monetary and emergency is unfolding and southern ukraine, following the destruction of a major dam controlled by russia, keith is accusing moscow of blowing up the coast guard down to slow ukraine's military, amid signs of ukrainian counter offensive. gaining traction. thousands of civilians have been forced to evacuated from the flood waters, prompting local officials to declare a state of emergency concerns over the nearby suffer. really, a nuclear power plant are also growing. it draws water from the reservoir that's now draining away. meanwhile, the kremlin is accusing ukraine, a sabotage to distract from alleged failures on the battlefield. a wall of water sewage is through a massive breach in the car hole,

cut them flood bushes, appearing to overwhelm what was left of the damaged infrastructure. as the torrent rushed down stream, the level of the neat pro river rose several maces, submerging roads, parks, roof tops, and even carrying away buildings. stuff like that was this. so your hundreds of residents began evacuating. ukrainian officials seed up to ac towns and villages were at risk of flooding. a specialist, it will cause family evacuation of people to safe areas has begun. included with all services are working with emergency service police, military, you all are together and i ordered you to take documents and a centrals on wait for the evacuation buses. what advise them?

also, if i'm addressing the residence of the left bank, similarly, please do everything possible to save your lives a lot and leave the insecure place at once. okay, and it was the question that that but as the was a continued to breach the rivers banks, more people prepared to flee for me. but i what am i going to do? what i need to take my animals with me and go visit my relatives up stream. you know how much of the affected area in southern ukraine is under russian control. the russian installed here of the shift southern region. she had this footage of a flooded town, seemed to the dam. reeves of well provides cooling water for this etherige a power plant. but the you in nuclear watchdog see that sort no immediate nuclear safety risk. the damage to the nova, kind of hope got done, is currently leading to about 5 centimeters per hour.

reduction in the height of the reservoir, as the dean continues to monita or these rate on or other matters on the site. ukrainian or societies have previously one that the dams fairly accrued on least 18000000000 cubic meters of water creating not only a humanitarian disaster, but an ecological one. to get me a moto is one of the world's leading experts on disaster resiliency engineering and the ceo of me and motel international. he joins us tonight from los angeles in california. we'll come back to the w mr. me a moment. so now this was a massive structure. what does it take to make it collapse? well, i was just talking to it out to you in a career and just just recently, just now and it's, it's mass mass scale. it's scholastic about 70 settlements. and what

a height of us on the case of 4.8 meter. and it will affect to the ages of the why i'd scale area. and there's also side, sometimes there's an environmental disaster. there's about somebody did a 150 to 3 and the meter pon metric tonda, all the oil. would it be exposed from this to? so it's a, it's it's, it's a huge deal. and yeah, it takes a lot of explosive to distract the dum locked out. just no question about it, and that's a discharge at the dial me and let's talk about the, the human toll because the effective era is home to some 40000 residents. c we don't know of any casualties as of yet. what will be the consequences for the people up and down the street or? well, i associated, yep. uh, it's gonna affect it. obviously the water resources of drinking water that's going to be one big deal. and uh, also the areas being the basically unstable area,

you know, being bumped by the russian forces in daily basis. and we're in the area to actually to reconstruct the houses in the schools. so i know lot people facing every day now on top of this this, they just encrypted stuff. so for them, you know, but i mean, people don't give up though. that's one thing i do know about gradients. you know, they don't, it's just incredible things for them. but they keep, keep, keep out, you know. mm hm. have you ever dealt with with similar situations mostly earthquakes, though the ukrainian president has accused rest of committing an act of eco side here. the water might be contaminated there. there might be that there might be mines in the water. how much of a disaster is this for the wildlife and ecosystems in the region? i'm enjoy gender. as i said up there, almost 100 metric tons of oil would be exposed to this to, you know,

and also the, at its previous located the land mines. though those would be best and floating, some different places. we have no idea. i'm going to be like that. so it's a human toll and they close go to it is just something d, uh, you can even imagine, you know, this one of the largest dams in the area. and it just the such a tragic things going on. and what we say just um, you know, district destruction is whole things up to slow down the gradient about as a full fence. that's the, that's the whole purpose of it. and this is such a treasure for people that yeah, just to put it into perspective for our viewers, the, the reservoir behind the stand was about as big as a great salt lake in utah. yeah. how long will it be until the water clears? it will take, uh, usually $7.00 to $14.00 days for this mass scale to actually it is going to be drain out to the box the eventually to the leveled out. but uh,

the aftermath is give me just a huge effort to just uh, you know, restore to, even while i was there before. and uh, uh, meantime people software or filtering queue orders and stuff like that. but definitely a to i know there is some sort accusation about who's dentist and who's not. but data again does that russia occupied area controlled area. and that's the whole thing is the breaches of comfortable me. but what will be the top priority in mitigating the damage cause, of course, the people effective need to be tended to. they need to be evacuated, but, but on the ground, once the water clears in to you as an expert, where would you start? how do we proceed from here to make this this area habitable again? so we've been doing a grin, is associated will have a engineers on the ground grant engineers and architects, and they survey the damages. so we've been serving damaged some of the close by the,

explore some of the funding and stuff like that right now, did the effort is del, distracted to get into the, the mode is damaged in that's caused by flood. so damage of suspended should take the usually for this nature about one month or 2 months or so some on there added to categorize the, uh, what type of the damage there was structurally. and those structurally, what kind of the costs to restore and how people we evaluated for this area for about 70 different villages and towns and so beautiful when they can come back. and that's going to be a really challenge i was i had for them, especially at a very unstable area. mm. yeah. how much do you expect these, the facilities that are very much going to go on in the region to stand in the way of, of cleaning up and rebuilding and getting people back to the areas they lived and before as well. i mean, this is obviously a tactic to, you know, to give up. you create is that extra hardship, you know, to slow down there

a offensive, obviously. and so it's, uh, it's definitely takes a hit for, it's a huge area affected devices. you know, as you said, this with this damn itself is a sizable salt lake. uh, salt lake was a huge you know, area. so. uh, it's definitely got to take. uh, i mean that, uh, essentially restore this kind of nature. it takes uh, at least a year to basically just uh, restore, just settlement itself, you know, but them, we reconstruction itself to few years. now, deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure can amount to war crimes we seen at the time. and again, since the invasion started, and is there any way for people in conflict sounds to prepare for these kinds of events to build resilience or resilience structure? well, i mean that's a how, how do, right. i mean that, um, so i was, uh, i was in,

uh, uh, target which is a little bit different from this area on the east east side of the town. uh you said of a country which being occupied by the oceans for till the last last october. and uh, people coming back, you know, people coming back to the, to their homes because that's the whole, that's where they'll work stuff their families, even that the women and the kids. i see them coming back. so, so it's a, it's a, it's, you know, the people like that, right? so keep people resilient, any grand about they, they do see just kind of things happens. i mean there's just because there's no, there's no like rules to how or how late it is due to them. there's no rules there. i mean, if there's a problem to bill didn't get a bonus if the school days. yeah. just destroyed. and so that this is definitely not a unexpected by the people in the area. i can, i can imagine that they don't expect anything, but i can, i seem to come to know them as a very,

very resilient people. thank you so much. does the service production and respond to the expert? get me on my to many thanks. thank you. today is the anniversary of the day the start of the allies. 1944 normandy landing to liberate western europe from nazi dictatorship ceremonies were held in france to remember the thousands of soldiers who lost their lives in the battle. dwindling number of veterans now in their nineties returned from memorial surfaces close to the beaches where they came a short while long those who made the trip was 98 year old jack foy from the united states to deliver to moving address and noted that soon the last of his generation would be gone. for the most part we were children of the twenty's citizens, soldiers, draftees, and volunteers. young men raised the great depression. we did not experience the

care free days of childhood. we knew the failure of other exhaustion, the inability of flood our flesh and blood to continue one. yeah, we must continue or die. we knew firsthand the violin problem being of the, of the higher the quotes. what to tell me the body in the start care that model kind of that brings and it was a hell that had to be indoors and we endured my grandchildren. sometimes this where you are here are the hard copy. my answer is no, but that it was the company up here of the commentators are calling it one of the saddest days in the history of professional golf. and let me tell you, it doesn't take a fan to see that this amounts to an earthquake on the course. one of sports most acrimonious panels has come to a sudden and very surprising and with goals pga tour merging with the saudi back

live tor. the shock announcement comes after a year of unprecedented disruption. american base pga tour officials had previously signed with the 911 attacks on the world trade center as a reason for its stars knox to join the break away tour. now the 2 are in business together. 911 survivors say they are deeply offended and have condemned to move. they say it was driven by hypocrisy, and greet more on this, i'm joined by anthony howard from the w sports. there is a lot to unpack here. this is the murder, but it's also a war of sorts, isn't it? so who's won the leave to it's really hard to get through this and, and take from it. anything else i live to or the break away to evaluate the disruptors. they wanted to form something you the p g i had ever had most of these because they were ever things i would golf all the golf majors,

all the golf stuff with a great norman and believe money come along and us, i believe money because of we're talking about the summer and well funded saudi arabia the back to live to and i came in and boy did they disrupt they came in and also the big money for this task to come away from the pga tour and do exciting things. and we're going to say a little bit of a t brooks. typically the guy in screen that he left to was one of the may just as you can see, a man wearing shorts. the that's the sort of disruption it sounds like small business in golf. that's big business, and i think about it when you try to find a way who's got the more explaining to that because this was a between the page you had to. and the, the live to a, back by greg norman, who's got more explaining to the page you have to ask the loyalty by saying don't leave us and take the money because you can stay and play magic golf tournaments and we are the 4th of good. don't take this out the money because like you just showed you, it took that visa don't take the money because it's dirty money. this is sports washing at its finest. yukon, joined that too. because you'll never give yourself the fans once to give you. and

nor shall we, and so this is the framing and then so we get to today, and there's a manage all the, there's nothing to say he real happy families know, you know, how do you explain what you told you applies? you bank for loyalty, don't leave because business dirty money and all, by the way, today, a, you know, we're a one. how do we get from sworn enemies to a quote unquote big happy family? well i think that's what the pci plans they're going to ask the pga bosses tonight . so hang on, you told us yesterday that this was the enemy and you know this was dirty money. and now we met with happy families to the stands that a member of the savvy family or something well funded is going to be the chairman of this new body. but having just one man and just disrupted the completely re shaped goals. and now the is the lead players who they will get what they had to lose with taking the big bag of cash was that they couldn't find the major tournaments. the reason these change on basic and we haven't heard yet from all parties,

is that the good players who live took with so good to know performing really well in the majors. but they weren't going to be able to play next to if i started with the live to. and suddenly the page you guys took and see what they were going to miss these right. players weren't going to be on public show. and i had no, no other choice, but the state of the boy to die settle. and that conversation between the page i bosses when i go to tiger woods and rory back and mcelroy tomorrow. the main who stood on the trenches with flames in hand and pitch full thing, stay was paid you i. and now the bosses i've sold been out and everything has changed around. so i get too excited about it. but i have explaining to them and will bring you back when they do anthony howard of the w sports. thank you so much . thank you. the world of virtual and augmented reality is not necessarily been a happy place for a tech companies. just look at the deserted meta verse and google largely ending it's google glass experiment this year. well now apple wants to take a chance,

launching its 1st major hardware. in almost a decade. the vision pro headset aims to set a new standard for virtual and augmented reality tech, but comes out of price that's enough to make your eyes water of introducing apples vision pro and introducing a new term, spatial computing, as in no longer being limited by display. apple's latest gadget has been years in the making and it comes packed with tech 12 cameras, 6 microphones, and 5 sensors, all built into a device that excludes the sleek apple sheet. and it brings computing into augmented reality, as well as virtual reality, making the vision pro a mixed reality device. there are certain products that shifts the way we look at technology and the role that plays in our lives. we believe apple vision pro is

a revolutionary product with the performance immersion and capability that only apple can deliver. sounds good. and yet some tech analyst. so wondering what exactly the device is for. for some, it might be looking at photos, watching movies or doing more real life video calls, but no killer app is inside. that however, could change at 3 and a half $1000.00. division pro is no bargain, but will likely be picked up by only the most devoted apple fans. on for a closer look, i'm joy now from san jose, california by ben baron, he's the, the tech consulting firm creative strategy. so welcome to the day. so this is apple's 1st major new product and over 7 years is this what you would hope for it was one of those things where you kind of had to see it and get the experience to believe. but even as i was sitting looking through or watching the keynote for

the tech specs alone make it one of the most impressive technology products that have appeared technology level really, really that i've ever seen. so it in a lot of ways and then also getting to get a hands on demo it. it was better than i expected in pretty much every way with which i think is, is telling something. so tim, cold calls of the revolution your sold on it, but what's your technique, toy or game changer? i think at the beginning it's very, very early adopter, focused. and personally, i don't have a problem with that given i know how challenging and how expensive the technology that went into this is, i think the name says it. all right, it's a, it's a vision product. it tells us where are going 10 years from now. it's not gonna look like this. it might look much more functional, like a pair of glasses or something more. um, you know, susceptible to or, or open to being outside. but i think it was a much more mature experience in terms of the software. a good the i tracking was a rich, the fidelity was how good the user interface and navigation was really than i

expected. it was far, far more. i'd sure i was pretty skeptical going into this, so i think they nailed the technology. now there's a long road ahead bring the price down, get a developer ecosystem behind it. start to push out more of that ecosystem and that's what i think will happen over the next few years. but from a vision standpoint and a technology standpoint, it exceeded expectations of mine and a lot of other people that i talk to. so a little further down the road, how is the apple expect a this device will change the way we engage with the world. so the big part is they're, they're really using this term, spatial computing or space for computer. and, you know, as i thought about that just sitting through the keynote and talking to some people afterwards. now you look at the history of software development, and it's always been defined by screen size, whether that's the screen of your, your pc or mac, your display, your phone, your tablet, and apple's really positioning to say you don't have screen size anymore, your world or yours your space is an infinite canvas for you to write software and

that's, that's a brand new paradigm. that's not something that we've ever encountered before. and so i think it will take developers time to take advantage of that. it'll take consumers time to sort of realize and get this value of kind of having this mixed blended reality world of digital and physical. but it's really, really feels like we are on the cusp of something. again, this isn't a media, it's not something i expect to be mainstream in a year or even in 2 years. but we're building toward perhaps the next paradigm. but the most important part of this is the developers have to get on board. if developers don't get on board this platform and others don't go anywhere. yeah. other companies, i've had great trouble marketing their bottles and headsets. what makes apple think they can do better? right now, it's the technology. you know, i've got nothing against what meta does or any of the ones prior i've tried all the headsets and many that aren't released and never got released. this was by far the best. i mean, again, it's really expensive and there's a lot of deep technology that's gone into this. and i think it's really the

experience that sets it apart. you know, with those other devices, you try it and you're like, okay, but it's low resolution. i can see where it's going. i like immersive mist, but if they just fix this, this is one of those things. we're apples fixed. all those critiques i had of prior b r n a our experiences and that's steps the bar now. and it's only going to get better, and that's why i think the system will come along. it's just going to take time. they only have about 30 seconds, but i'm sure you have an opinion on this. how nervous is margaret bird about this? and i think service i, you know, i, i think you, they need the chart. they're past and strategy very, very carefully. i'm a bit optimistic about doc. you was 3. it sounds really good. so we'll see. competitions is good. and apple written hopefully rises. the tie for everybody, so maybe maybe better, but can catch some of that tail wind as well. that has been parents say of creative strategies. thank you. or do

finally tonight it was one of the catches tunes of the 19 sixty's, the girl from if a name a made into a world whitehead, by astro gilberto. now the brazilian singer has died at her home in philadelphia. she was 83 her then husband, believe boston, nova pioneer geological bears o had convinced the unexperienced singer in 1964 to perform the song with him. and the rest is, as they say, history, the ship . wow, that's a tune to send you off. and to the 9th, that is our time, make sure to stay informed, stay engaged and stay in touch. you can follow our team on twitter at the the we news and myself. nicole underscore for this, for now though, from the entire team here on the day in berlin. thank you so much for spending parts of your day with us. see you tomorrow, if you like, the

daily struggle for recognition transgender people in talk a or how do they survive in a society that rejects the basic strength in numbers,

show who they are and fight for their rights? global us, the eco africa. they are hot commodities, beach and pansies are being illegally treated as competent in a way. interesting oper, knowledge, or national parks are found out. they want to raise awareness of the issue with a wide range of projects to protect, to africa. in 60 minutes on d. w. the guardians of the truth. i hesitate,

almost every price will be mutual in the country, like turkey. taking all the powers that be the risk, everything john dunbar needs active as journalists and politicians living in exile the way to which on the list for their mission what drives them? people need to know what is happening that our series guardians of truth watch. now on youtube, d. w documentary, the 2000. and we think that a transgender person isn't like us, but why long can't do how to do better to the why are we segregating them? and finding on the edges of cecilia t town trends, people in pakistan on a fighting for them.
