the the, this is dw slide from ballot. ukraine demands more international, helpful victim. so pete kirchhoff got done, does awesome. your brains, army flies, drones to supply people in enemy. how territory strand is by flooding from the past presidency landscape, chooses russia of abandoned abandoning some also coming off state inside

residents across north america to avoid going all those smoke from huge box size and kind of that spread itself. cold read air quality alerts issued for a 3rd day and germany's biggest rock band is hid, probably accusations of backstage abuse problems. stein says it's taking the allegations against it's from 9. seriously a some friends on that box on the roof. the, i'm gonna have those as well come to the program, ukraine's president slodum is that landscape and is demanding international aid agencies to do more to help with thousands of people effected in. they cut off, cut them disaster ukraine in government says up to 600 square kilometers of land

remains on the flood volta, ukraine and russia has accused each other of destroying the dam. russian president vladimir putin as cold as an environmental and she went to terry and catastrophe. while savanski says moscow has abandoned the people in areas under its control. catastrophe along the front lines. the destruction of the gulf could them have left the house on these without water, food, and power. ukrainian volunteers are bringing aid to people, stranded in flood waters. but these rescue efforts are limited to the ukrainian controlled region. the need for river in southern ukraine divides the russian and ukrainian controlled territories. ukraine's president accuses rushed off, abandoning people in the area. it controlled. the situation in the occupied part of

the car san regents is absolutely catastrophic. the occupier, somebody abandoned people in these terrible conditions without rescue, without water just left on the roofs of the houses and drug communities. is that the mon, the ukrainian army, released this voltage to show which is trying to help people behind enemy lines using military drones to deliver clean drinking water in russian occupied areas. so far, it's unclear who destroyed them. ukraine claims that it was russia's attempt to sold the counter offensive. russia is calling it the ukrainian act of several times . it isn't just people suffering in the aftermath of the damned destruction. close to the gulf covers of thousands of dead fish have washed up on the shore, creating a graveyard of many species. environment to lift say, some of them may never recover. type of person, you know,

different sizes. people take from 3 to 10 years for different issues, so the car will be able to the car, but probably some suspicious will not be able to the car to the previous numbers or will not cover at all. unfortunately, the un warns water levels will keep rising over the next. i was as well the human and environmental told of the disaster the w correspondents on it finally come in the floods effected area in southern ukraine and the i aust full assessment of the relief that as we get out there is a risk here and evacuation operation underway in the region. we went to city of castle on yesterday where we sold residence being, you know, evacuated and really plucked to safety, even the pets um on, on votes and owned vehicles. that could be to what the,

what i have to say this was mainly that you create in ami and the emergency services that we saw on the ground. a we did see a few kind of individual 40 volunteers liquidity, you know, kind of big international cavity. a piece not in the city of caps on it, because if we did see the local red cross, which is pretty small and finding out a supplies. now one of the big concerns of goals for 8 groups here. what, what, what would really seem has been happening a bottled water that buying up large quantities of that. and that is because there is a real field show now that you don't clean drinking water will be a problem. precedents. lensky is to be said, hundreds of thousands of people could lose access to that water since a couple of them was a major source of that supplies to southern great. now it presents lensky also cues authorities in the areas that are occupied by russia of abandoning the flood victims that do you have any information about the situation that will it's hard to get to be a clear picture of what is exactly happening on the ground in in the russian

occupied areas now, now ukraine's interior minister has said that they are working on a plan to try and help people in that option occupied sites. really try and help people on, on both sides of the, to the story. but we don't have any details of that plan as we have, but we were supposed to be joining off many supplements in the national quite bit areas of being under water. the crating media has been reported. and of these 3 people who have now drowned as a result of the flooding in the rational by tongue. awfully. she indicates on page and this is a tell them that this really badly hit. what the 90 percent of the tone is set to be under water. so what's the situation right now? uh, water levels still rising. it was the governor of coastal onto the said that what the levels indeed austin rising and they are also now affecting the city of make a life where i am i'm understanding of the banks of the salt books label and 2 water level subadvising as well that has been flooding in the local district that i

have to see one of the problems here is that being an active was on is also complicating the risk if thought you know you're creating rescue will cause i've been complaining of being coming on to file when evacuating people so, so that means a big consult and this is of course we have to remember that even before this destructive flooding, the city of cancelled instead of the areas of the new constant bombardment by shredding every single b. uh, were you allowed booms not sitting, you know, every, every couple of minutes so, so it's a very kind of difficult situation as well to, to try and carry out this risky operation. the w correspondence on it, finding out that reporting from me could live. thank you very much then. yeah. so how does this damn dissolves to affect the technical situation on the ground? and i spoke to mike moffitt and he's a well studies fellow of kings college in london and the austin. if we have any closer to knowing who a was destroyed to them, i'm 90 percent us and it was the russian forces. they were in control of that

them. we know from previously from about 2 months ago, they said why that with explosives, which is funny, normally a minute, 2 times because of the ukrainians use the diamond the road across it so, so it's across, that's fairly normal and i find it very, very unlikely that the ukrainians would be doing that to their writing instruction . now russian troops have a $45.00 depositions in that region in anticipation of the ukrainian defense. if the trenches setup traps and light mines all of these for this occasion, 2nd or well, actually, i think the russians were intending a much smaller down bus that actually what happens. and the reason for that is because of all these defenses that you talk about, mine fields, trenches, true positions, equipment, prepositions, a lot of that's been washed away. and so there's lots of videos of russians coming

to the tops of trees and equipment installs, being abandoned and left. so it is actually turned into a bit of a disaster for the russian troops on the ground. this is on the south bank, but the river need treasure. they've had to pull back and re establish new positions out at the flood water. now there are concerns that this large land mines may be floating around bubbling and the waters are concerned justified. absolutely . and again, this is fairly common if you've had heavy rain or flash floods, you've answered personal minds which are quite smooth and very, very light just a few grams or anti timelines that might be 5 kilograms. and they all being picked up and move. so when you lie a minefield, you know where it is, but now what we're seeing is the mines moving across the landscape. sometimes they hit something and death tonight. the often they just stop weatherford will just stop when the front door has received. it overlays a new mind filled, an area that no one knows where it is. it's very, very dangerous. now,

keeps said its troops had advanced mode and the kilometer in a box mode, which is on the usually explicit claim. what do you make of that? and i think that's of almost certainly true. what we've seen in the mood since the trainings around the russians took control of it a couple of weeks ago. is that the vol gonna agree? if you did, most of the fighting that have pulled out in several areas and left it to russian hill. ready is on the russian forces, russian, you know, stand that on the ministry forces, haven't been able to hold the ground. wagner to say ukraine has been able to, particularly on the flank so they don't pushing into the system. but they're pushing around it. they've been able to make some quite decent gains on the flanks of buffalo. some of the travelers, mike mos in the thank you very much, mike. thank you. let's have a look now at some of the other stories making headlines today. but originally the

constraint go has problems, an activist who was arrested in 2021. so he has a pig, was pulled of a flight that was diverted to better routes along with a pop up dissidence journalist rom, on for the service sheet, was pausing. last month. hundreds of indigenous people have marched outside brazil's congress and supreme court to protest against a bill that threatens the ancestral territories. the bill imposes a cutoff date for incense to land claims in 1988. when preserves present, constitution was adopted. the former us vice president mike pence has formerly launched his been to become the republican party is normandy and the 2024 presidential election. he joins in increasing the crowd. a field of candidates looking to salvage former president. donald trump, for the nomination from poles. a commanding lead and opinion polls,

but we wanted to, as presidents across north america, not being ads to stay inside and with face masks as smoke from huge wildfires, and kind of that continues to spread. officials in some areas have issued cold red at quality warnings for the day. sports and cultural events have been canceled and flights have been delayed in upstate new york fuel kelly is blanketed by the keys. smoke from hundreds of wild fires burning neighboring canada. a few 100 kilometers further south. the smoke has triggered unprecedented air health alarms in new york city. affecting millions of the bud sounds i come through the mid river difficult new yorkers are advised to wear face masks, went outside to filter out high levels of polluting particles found in the year new yorkers or smelled of something that has never impacted us on this scale.

before we had dangerously high levels, a wildfire smoke from thousands of miles away, thousands of miles away. the elderly and people with health conditions have been told to stay in doors. like today, i'm not going to go to the park. i usually go to the park in the morning, stay home or not, i have to go because i want somebody that's there, but otherwise i stay home. with over 400 fires still burning across canada. the pollution will likely continue to impact bordering us states. as canadians experienced their worst ever early season fires, many see the trail of smoke as a sign of the climate crisis, which can include more frequent and even more extreme wild fires. it's germany's defense minister bars. the story is, has completed

a 5 day tour of asia intended to boost partnerships with countries in the region in the indian city of mom, by the story is attended the signing of an agreement for a joint project to build up to 6 submarines. germany wants india to reduce its in dependence on russian military technology, which currently makes up 60 percent off it's equipment. during his visit, his daughter said he would push for more cooperation between germany and india in the future. and he also gave this assessment of the why the significance office trip. we totally agreed about the german in europe and wrote in the india pacific. we agreed that more engagement of europe and germany is necessary. especially odd, joined, exercise, next year. really had been appreciated by him and we were both of the same opinion . we need more cooperation. not only do it by exercise is also by defense of

industry defense argument cooperation, and we are working on it. and of course, i think we should and we can, and we ought to do more in the region within the partnership with india, because we are approaching times, we can't really predict what is going to happen in the next 2 years. and we need the strategic populace like indonesia, like india, for example, especially for if the story is speaking they ended up is chief political correspondent, anita has a, has been traveling with the defense minutes to an agent. and she gave her assessment on how the visit fits into germany is changing into a national role of the decades of thinking of asia as long as the remaining trade ties with china. germany has now begun to actively look for more collaboration with other important partners in this region, such as indonesia, india, and singapore. now, that also includes more defense collaboration and the german defense minister argues that germany needs to over hold. yet more of its longstanding principles,

including the question of west germany, since it's weapons to in the world and why that is necessary for is disorders is calling into question. some aspects of gemini is quite restrictive on export policy rules, and you will have to do some convincing when he gets back home or is the story is once demons to see that russia's invasion of ukraine and the violation of international law has implications for how germany has to approach questions of the political strategy. in many ways, the new german defense minister is beginning to turn into the potomac occasion of the site, even though you just need a house or that european union. the interior minister is meeting today to try to overcome long standing differences over migration policies for years. you members have been at all how to manage migration with southern countries, demanding more support and solidarity from the east and then all the neighbors

ministers. and i'll meet you in luxembourg today. and may, they may now be on the verge of a breakthrough of years of debate and disagreements have left your ups migration and asylum policy. oh, i see more than a 1000 people have dr. undergoing missing trying to reach the continent this year last. and what many called the broken system, european union rules say people must claim asylum in the country where they 1st arrive. and that's left, some governments demanding change. over time, we have seen an erosion of trust where, for instance, southern member states have felt that they have not been able to receive the support that they need as reckoning parties as populous parties have gain majorities and several member states. there has been a shift towards the right and therefore also more restrictive immigration policies, southern coastal, you countries like italy,

spain and greece received the most irregular arrivals in the block with boats often traveling from to an easier morocco and turkey. a past attempted forcing states further afield to take in some of those migrants failed due to opposition from hungry, poland, and many others. no brussels latest compromise pon with the low countries to opt out welcoming more migrants. if they contribute to the costs of hosting or deporting people elsewhere. this is also in the tables a proposal to create separate tracks for those seeking protection. and if it costs done, numbers, request submitted by people from places considered safer, such as albania or pocket stones would be directed through a different screening system at the border. so authorities can more easily send people back. critics say europe is trying to barricade itself from asylum seekers, unsure responsibility. but the official behinds upon hoops, countries will finally come together. if we agree on

a common approach to manage migration in the you may, but restricted way together. we would all be with this because we were able to manage migration together in an orderly way and, and that is a no, ma'am, the state can do it alone. brussels says bridging this political divide will help save lives. but some fear the reforms will fall short as people continue to risk their lives to reach these shores. and we have some more news in brief for you. major 5 is broken out near an army base and saddam's cap, as well as rival fractions baffled for control of an alms factory that witnesses the rapids support forces. power military's attack the area before being repelled by the army. the group has been engaged in a power struggle with saddam's army for weeks modified australia is federal attorney general as announced that the comfortable introduced legislation to banned the use of swastika as end of
