what do you see? it really is possible to reverse the researchers and scientists all over the world are in a race against time. they are peers and rivalry with one daring goals to help smart nature. the boy likes watching it on youtube dw documentary to nights. the us east coast has the worst air in the entire world drifting smoke from hundreds of raging wildfires and canada as travel itself. in golfing cities like new york or washington in the yellow haze authorities or calling it an unprecedented air quality prices and worn that the smoke will linger for days,

it may well get worse before it gets better. and events like this one are becoming more and more frequent as the planet continues to heat up with the amino weather phenomenon. now officially upon us, scientists believe 2024 will be the hardest year on record. nicole fairly soon, berlin and this is the day the you can even see the statue of liberty today. we had dangerously high levels of wildfires, smoke thousands of miles away, thousands of miles and weight. that's like i've been here for like 40 years and i haven't seen anything like this, but this is an unprecedented invest in a city in new york. this must take precaution. when i took a picture, i cannot i can't even see like the brakes. uh, we expect this to be

a multiple day event. also on the day of y v and welcome to miami, as football superstar messy leaves europe for the us. we ask if his star power will help put american men's soccer on the map or whatever it is. so slow, low cost sales. now i'll have the chance to thank him for the great things he gave us. the welcome level by the battery guy, the guy, the eyes of a whole generation. and well, we've got to have him here. welcome to the show. it sounds harmless and new, doesn't it? but the return of the claim is pattern has scientist bracing for the worst last seen in 2016. it led to the world's hottest here on record, extreme weather events, drought, higher malnutrition rates, and devastated livelihoods. well,

now it's back to us base national oceanic and atmospheric administration has reported the arrival of el nino. after above average ocean surface temperatures began to emerge in the eastern pacific ocean. during may, the agency said there was a 56 percent chance that this el nino would be considered strong, and a 25 percent chance that it could be a super size. the warning is setting off alarm bells as the planet was already grappling with record warming and its consequences. and the densely populated us north east, including new york city in washington, smoke from wells far as burning to the north, and canada is darkening skies and affecting people's health and air travel. new york officials are urging residents to stay in doors of the city experiences. historically dangerous conditions to stay indoors is the best way to protect yourself from exposure, particularly as we're seeing changes in the numbers, changes in the levels of pollution. if you can't stay indoors,

go out and you have to be outside where a high quality mass like the one you have around your neck and avoid outdoor gatherings. avoid outdoor event. this okay. haze comes at the start of the summer travel season and is also prompting the cancellation of many events. here's what some new yorkers and visitors are saying is like a, a real heavy fil is like, do you feel like you have, as most of them is going on inside? unless you have some drinks on the cover, your face, your mouth with you can definitely fill the effects of it. um yeah. was this like uh you will be good for. oh wow. and they use often like a furnace inspection at scary same think. you know that the time it's become much hotter and dryer. this, this situation is much more extreme. hope that because it was so dramatic and just so visible and it's what everyone is talking about. but hopefully it shed some

light and some attention on how serious of an issue this is the fact that we're only going to see more things like this in the future. and that is really in time for immediate and substantial action. let's take a closer look with matthew can put cheese the major ologist and joins us from one of the effective cities, washington d. c. and your there's a day where the air alert level has reached cold purple. what is that like? yeah, truly told, i didn't know what went above read, which sounds ignorant on my behalf, but this really isn't something that east coast meteorologist in the united states have to deal with all that. often. i looked out the window this morning looking for the airport looking for the watching the volume and all the landmark 2nd. ordinarily see only about 2 or 3 kilometers away. and i couldn't see any of them. the sky was a milky white suit that everything was really invisible. it was like having a sound on the ground, but it's a cloud that has like, does not use smell is

a punch in send to. it are ice thing or roads heard a little bit and really this pollution will stick around these next 36 hours until the winds finally change direction until then. however, winds are out of the north. it's pumping down that smoke new york, baltimore of billy boston, pittsburgh and of course, washington d. c. a high impact event where it's dangerous to go outside for extended periods of time. so let's talk about the dangers. what are the health implications of such poor air quality? so the smoke is made up of something called pm 2.5 or very, very fine, small particulate matter. only a couple of microns across. we can't see it, it's microscopic. but the issue is it gets into our long as it gets into our bloodstream, it can cause issues ordinarily for ourselves to feel impasse are the elderly pablo populations, the young or those are the underlying health conditions. i the respiratory or heart condition. but really now these numbers, the air quality disease have reached the level where it's dangerous to just about anyone outside. we can actually rate this on

a scale of 0 up. anything below 50 is healthy, anything over a 100 years concern? here we are. we saw the values between 30400 earlier on today. really off the charts. matthew scientists just confirm the arrival of the amino phenomenon, zooming out of it in practical terms. what does that mean? so el nino enlightening your are opposites. it's like a pendulum that goes back and forth every 3 to 7 years. el nino is characterized by a warming of water temperatures in eastern tropical pacific, which does a couple things. number one, those were waters off the coast of ecuador and peru, prevent the o. well, in the colder nutrient rich waters and below so really stands fishing and stuff, the marine economy over that away in portions of central and southern america that's local on the broader scale, though it shuffles weather patterns. so on the good side, it will not that hurricane activity a little bit in the atlantic can make it more difficult for hurricane. so for him this year, on the bad side however, it helps radius for its temperature,

which on top of and already warming background levels the pulse into record territories. it overlaps with climate change. so the higher likelihood of severe weather events, if i understood that correctly, will that be spelled equally around the world? equally, i wouldn't necessarily say, but i'd say in environments like this, we definitely expect higher impact whether what are the tricky things like with this particular el nino is that it doesn't necessarily look like an el nino in terms of how it's classically appearing. sure, we got the one more water temperatures in the eastern tropic pacific, but it's warm and literally like every ocean across the world, we're setting records everywhere, which when we have that sort of environment tells me, will likely see record sending weather systems. we just don't necessarily know what kind we just know to be sort of more atmosphere a k us. i wish i could provide a better answer. but really, we just know it'll be sort of uncertain, but likely highly impactful. this time around el nino is expected to be either

strong or super size. can you explain what the difference there is? ste. yeah, so we measure how strong an el nino event is based on how warm those water temperatures in the eastern drop the pacific are in an imaginary box. told the nino 3.4 region. basically, we dropbox, we are looking to see how warm above normal the water temperatures are in the case of a strong on the u, which is possible. we would see water temperature is like a degree and a half above where they otherwise should be. and that would have been your implications globally in terms of temperature, precipitation pattern, extreme drought, extreme flooding, extreme heat events, stuff like that. if we get into that territory, which there's a chance we might then obviously the, the worldwide implications will be great. or we're just sort of still ironing out the details as to what exactly that would look like. cuz i mean, you push us past the 1.5 degree point. most definitely. yeah. so, so that $1.00 degree uh threshold. you mentioned a moment ago, sort of corresponds to what government scientist with the ip cc or the

intergovernmental panel on climate change across the world have cautioned about for years that there's sort of this uh, very concerted level that occurs at 1.5 degrees celsius worldwide. temperature above pre industrial levels. we haven't really need to that threshold yet, but it's very likely i'm not certain we will with a very strong, i mean you event. if that does come to manifest, we're heading in that way. any way will pass that threshold. really any way in to 23 is essentially full time. but the 1st time the bridge that threshold will likely be in the next 5 years and the world neutralize. the organization says there's a 98 percent chance. there's the next 5 year block we have coming up will be the warmest 5 your blog ever reported that you can put you. that was very clear. thank you so much for breaking it all down for us. thank you. it's in the face of a warming planet, the world's oceans play and increasingly important role. not only do the oceans produce oxygen and help feed us. they also regulate our climates. they capture more

carbon than anything else on the planet and also absorb around 90 percent of the heat generated by rising emissions. but the oceans are themselves affected by climate change as their temperature as rise. so do see levels and marine biodiversity as being last that includes many of the world coral reef. but on a small island off columbia foundation is trying to turn the tide is developing a unique way of growing small coral fragments under the c to creates newer rates. our correspondents nicole reese went to the island of son on this in the caribbean. a new home under construction biologist, maria fit, and then the maya is drilling holes. but one of the most fascinating preaches in the ocean. carls for now they're still small, but they could grow into a new re few in the waters of sun on this island. it is

a team method involving locals, scientists, and dining schools. the window bandages move for us. it is really important to focus on the coral restoration and help the reeves. we live on an island in the middle of the ocean. and our economy almost entirely depends on coral reeves fans and the impact that humans have on the ocean at the moment is too big into negative. we want our impact on our ecosystem to be positive. so we need that to you because they're black though they know no way that was used because these things carlos vital and helping to protect the coast lines from erosion and boosting, find diversity. but they are in serious trouble worldwide in columbia alone, 60 percent of them are damaged or under threat of particular concern is stony carl tissue loss disease that started spreading last year.

so am i paying 3 both at the existing closely. it kills them in 2 or 3 months, or in a matter of things, get broken bottles. so we are very worried because the disease is already here. the light did most of the policy and what are we doing against people? we impact antibiotics. it's so much. so, so in hydrate i'll watch what do you need to bite in the us and use the help of governments or foundations to know a, by whole way and does it well yet not all from that ceilings and expensive and difficult underwater treatment is available, paid for by donations, but saturday says that it is vital that the government now invests in the program as they do with color or restoration, part of colombia, some business plan to restore 200 protect us of reese here and send them that is sufficient and i don't know how to send the biggest also has an interest in that business plan. the key to helps transplant carl's into the reef, just opposite the small beach restaurant that he runs. that is part of me. and

that is what gonna help us get some fish. protect the, the, the hoses, protect, or beach. also. 2 decades ago he needed only 2 hours to get enough fish and one go . now with the reefs degrading, it can take up to a day. but the rodriguez has hope now, because of the new carls. we put them there for the day. i like in 3 weeks when we went back there, there was growing. i was like surprised. i couldn't believe it when i heard about it 1st time. i couldn't believe it was unbelievable. it will take time for the small corals to grow into prosper reeves and with the pressure on the ecosystem. not all of them might make it the team on sunday, so aware of that. but every, as it counts just safety ecosystem and the ocean on the doorstep.

is it or is it not under way for months there has been speculation about ukraine spring offensive and to nights. there are once again conflicting reports about the status of the operation. the washington post is quoting ukrainian officials, saying the long expected counter offensive has indeed begun in new york times is also quoting a senior us official saying the main thrust of ukraine inoffensive seems to be under way. all those reports are anonymous, as is a ukrainian denial that the offensive is under way sourced by reuters to ukraine in defense ministry spokesman this while you randy an official say moscow has begun to showing the city of her son where residents are being evacuated from flooding caused by the destruction of the cutoff got down. at least one person is reported to have been killed in 18 more. i've been wounded. find a showing a spring and bradley bowman. he's with a foundation for

a defense of democracies. good to have you back on the day. now, american media are quoting ukrainian military personnel saying that the counter offensive has started. keith continues to deny these claims. where do you believe things stand? so it's a good question or there are 2 factors that kind of compliment complicates the effort to make confident assertions. here one is russian dis, information which is the kremlin specialty that they've been engaging in obviously, fairly intensely says to february 24th massive reinvention last year. and also a desire on keys part to not reveal his hand and make life easier for the, for the russians that they're trying to kick out of their country. so those are 2 complicating factors, but are here are 3 metrics if you will, that your viewers can kind of look at to discern what's going on. looking at the size, the activity in the composition ukrainian forces by size. i mean, are we talking about platoon and company elements maneuvering? are we talking about battalion or brigade? yeah, we're seeing a little bit of a lot or some of these newly formed for gauge we are seen maneuvering. so that

would kind of put a check on the side of the preamp or the initiation of the counter offensive activity, or the probing, or they're trying to exploit successes and break through weak points in the russian lines. there's definitely a lot of probing going on. my sense is that ukraine is holding a lot of it's combat power reserves to see where there is the weakness and then we'll explore to perhaps in the future. and then composition. are we looking at combined arms and includes infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, infantry artillery engineers, those sorts of things. we are seeing that we're seeing some of the best weapons provided, including the leopard, 2 tanks, and the bradley fighting vehicles employed. so when you put all that together in a pot and stir, i would say we're at least in the preamble of the major counter offensive. if not in the 1st space for weeks now, the west has been speculating about this much anticipated counter offensive. i feel like these, these words always go together. it's the anticipated counter offensive. the spring counter offensive. is this putting ukraine in a position where it feels it has to sort of deliver to maintain western support to

buy sense? the keys absolutely feels that pressure and you know, it's not entirely unreasonable to expect result after all the united states and many of our european allies have committed tens of billions of dollars. and when you make that kind of commitment with a finite resources, there is an expectation. but with that said, going on the off balance and war is much higher than being on the defense. the russians have had time to dig in, you know, but we need to avoid the mistakes of last year where we are simply counting tanks and armored personnel vehicles and protecting over over confidence for the russians because what the ukrainians have is a morale and a motive to fight, because after all, the defending their homes against an unprovoked and i would say immoral invasion. and a lot of the russian fighters are, you know, former prisoners aren't quite sure why they're in ukraine. you can overplay that on both sides. but i don't think we can underestimate some of the intangibles here as many of us did in the past. uh huh. and you just mentioned. and for all this time,

a speculation of russia has had just as much time to prepare, instead of defensive positions, given that what's going to design ukraine strategy here. you know, i think uh, as far as i can tell him, this is just to inform conjecture that a key objective of this counter offensive will be to try to cut off the land bridge that russia enjoys now from russia proper to crimea. and if you look at the early fighting that we're seeing in the last 24 hours, and in the zachary z, a region that would seem to confirm that at least a a supporting effort. if not the main effort will be in that region. again, trying to cut off that land bridge, which would make life much more difficult for the russian invaders to the west and also in crimea depending what happens to that bridge going to crimea from russia. something we've been following very closely in the past days is the destruction of the cost god damn. now aside from the humanitarian aspect, the catastrophe that we're seeing unfold there, basically, within another catastrophe. what does the flooding mean for either side,

militarily? yeah, there's a lot of speculation about who's responsible, it's early days. you, the russians, the, the cranes did it, was that, was it a, a match, quote unquote, natural failure. you know, i can see arguments both ways. uh this, the truth is that the flooding has hurt both ukrainian villages and russian occupied villages. and it's actually damaged some of the russian defense of fortifications. not to mention the climate disaster, the environmental disaster and humanitarian disaster. so it's definitely going to make the river more of an obstacle for you creating forces across, but it's also for some of the russian defenders on the other side of the river to fall back. so it's exact, it's changed think dramatically for both sides. bradley baldwin from the foundation for a defense of democracies. thank you so much for your time. thank you. of what is going to be a huge influence for the american soccer team. and in general,

having him in this time, it's not anything that those were the words of an argentinean soccer fan. living and florida was happy about what until yesterday, nobody thought possible that leonor mfc is heading his way after agreeing a deal to play for the us major league team enter miami, that despite a more lucrative offer from saudi arabia allegedly on the table, matthew says it's time for him to leave european soccer after winning the world cup last december with argentina and having achieved everything he set out to do. massey is 35 years old. he played at french, died pay and stay for the past 2 seasons, but is better known as a legendary player for as the birth of luna murphy, 110 league a titles with barza as well as for champions league trophy. let's dig into this with franko penny. though he's a sports journalist from florida and the founder of the pockets miami,

total football radio covering all things into miami, found out how is the news of messy sign and going down with the inter miami fans? how do you feel about it? as you can expect it's, it's been a whirlwind, you know, it's been something that didn't seem possible few days ago. then with each passing hour and got more and more real. and the best way i can say, and it feels so real, but it needs meal. and everyone is very excited about it. you know, people are involved in the software world, people that are not involved in software. well, there's a lot of personal friends that know what i do, but relation to soccer and my phone was buzzing up. the explosive messages from them saying it is really happening is true. i want to literally game. so that's the kind of impacted little little example of the impact that i'm actually going to have with his arrival here. and obviously the news is massive and everyone's buzzing and staring about his arrival, which should have a cool is this for inter miami. it's message is less than, you know,

they found the star david back them when he teamed up beforehand, host a mazda to local business. so they talked about the global superstars tender might mean a lot of people thought it was just talk. and during the initial years, they brought in some players with some, some recognition, some numerous mission in gonzagos. wayne's place prior to your national team, alongside messy. they brought in placement tweedy. but they didn't bring in a global superstar household me. and now they've done that and it's going to impact things on the field as well as off of here. let me just plug it into my, my social media accounts and the growth that they've had in the last 24 to 36 hours . it's remarkable. i think they had less than a $1000000.00 on instagram, and now they're almost at $5000000.00. you know, they have more followers if i'm not mistaken. then any nfl team as of right now, so it's just that shows you the message effect the power button on the scene and always going to bring to south florida. he obviously knows that he has this power, right. he is by, by many people consider the greatest football or of all time. why do you think he

chose miami over a return to his, his home in a way, barcelona, or a possible 500000000 dollar deal to play and saudi arabia when the interview ended yesterday, he said, you know, the departure from barcelona a couple of years ago. it was ugly and left and scrambling for a team. he didn't want to repeat that his barcelona, while it's still very much interested in bringing the message back or was interested in bringing money back. they still couldn't do it under the financial regulations that they have over in space 1st division. and so they had to offload players. messy said, you know, he didn't want to be the reason why players were being let go. and visa don't want to deal with that. i mean, that's nice at all good. when he's not coming here for junk change either. he's going to get paid a pretty penny on apples reported to be part of the be able to get some, some of the revenue that they'll need from his arrival. he's getting a piece of what the deed is, will make surely from jersey sponsors or jersey sales or excuse me. yeah. so he's going to take a pretty penny here. and it's, it's also about a legacy that he will,

that he will leave. yeah. grow this for here, around we're in the world cup is around the corner so that that was a part of the m. a sometimes mockingly referred to as the retirement leak is, must be moving to miami to retire or is he going to bring new life into the lead or both? i think both, you know, i think it's, he's definitely not in the prime of history or, i mean, especially when he woke up, but he's definitely not the message. it was a few years ago that said he's still going to be the best player in this medium. because of bad highlands i'd be sure to, to produce, it's going to bring all different types of elements to manually softer, healthy, grow in the run up to this world come, you'll have more corporate sponsors, so you'll have more eyeballs. you'll have more revenue across the board. you'll have new fans, so it's going to help in that way. he also talk to in the interview yesterday about wanting to get away from dispute. the the intense scrutiny that is there, the highest level in europe. so yeah, obviously it's not at that same level. it's,

i mean, there's no instilled in saying that exists the reality of the situation and he will live a calmer life per se. because there won't be that a test page, though because he's messy. i don't think he's going to just get away with not performing or just leave it there. you know, sports journalist back of any so thank you so much for your analysis. thank you. a better time, but make sure to join us again tomorrow. then by the
