that they are peers and rivals, which is one daring goals to help smart nature. the more likes watching it on youtube. dw documentary, the this is dw news live from berlin. geneva, his president says he will not be the use board regard. his message came shortly before the start of talks with equal leaders on age and migration. the north african country has become an increasingly important gateway for migrants

attempting. the dangers crossing to europe also coming up in ukraine, concerns about a humanitarian crisis or growing following the destruction of a major dam. thousands of people are homeless and many others are still missing in floods. areas the a mary, anna evans dean is good to have you with us. a teenagers president kind of site says he's country will not act as a board regard for the european union. and he made the comments just hours before tonks with the leaders on migration and aid. more and more migrants are using to nisha is a gateway to reach you or it's a deal in the make it a 1000000000 euro bailout to stabilize tunisia, a nation on the brink of collapse. and at the center of a migration crisis,

we both have a vast interest in breaking the cynical business model of smart, less traffic, cuz it is horrible to see how they deliberately risk human lives for profit. so we will work together on an empty smuggling operational partnership and we will support to new york with border management. food and opportunities are scarce. indonesia, its people are experiencing the worst economic crisis and a generation and with inflation hovering at 11 percent. many are making risky journeys, hoping for better lives in europe. but it's far from being justin asians, president k. e saw he'd visited a migrant camp on the coast, housing a growing number of sub saharan africans, looking to either stanton, easier or head to europe using smugglers. sundays meeting was meant to set

a plan to boost to news economy making migration less of a necessity. this year the european union will provide 100000000 yours to, to unusual for board of management, but also for search and rescue and on to smuggling and return or earlier. while negotiating with the international monetary fund for help president saw he balked at required costs to the public sector. and with your opinion leaders, he's pushing back on board or security board. and we cannot play the role of guardians of the board of the countries. the solution must be humane and collective value. and the european offer also includes initiatives to bill renewable energy infrastructure. something you are desperately needs to tap into as it works to reduce reliance on russian energy data volumes, tara shoals, and brussels that told us more about wine. european leaders are focused on tanisha

by, by saying this so bluntly between union president is playing it politically. very smart, making it clear that the price for his cooperation on migration will be high. and that's because tunisia is a gateway country for migrants from, from everywhere would be migrants who'd like to make it to the european union. there are also a lot of 2 nations leaving the country due to his authoritarian rule. so the 2 nation president is making it clear he does not want to at this point, under these circumstances, sign a deal like the e, who has, with turkey, signed it in 2016 where the turkish government is responsible for blocking. as many people as it can from leaving its shores, they have these huge camps full of people who aren't able to leave. and they also take that field asylum seekers from europe. that's exactly what he wants to set up with new york, and he knows it. all right, so if he's implying that the price for his cooperation is likely to be rather high

. what kind of an incentive then are the you and the italian and dutch leaders offering in exchange for 2 needed his help. it wasn't, as was mentioned in that report, they're offering more than a 1000000000 euros and assistance. this is macro of financial assistance, but it also has things like student exchange, a renewable energy project, and a $100000000.00 for this border management project, which is so important to the europeans. the problem is the 2 nation president would have to make some serious democratic reforms in order to unlock this money because it requires also making an agreement 1st with the international monetary fund, which demands the reforms. he's so far, refusing to do this. and an interesting point is that it will lead considers this deal so important to them that georgia maloney, the italian prime minister, is lobbying v i m s to loosen the restrictions and let these deals go ahead. interesting stuff there definitely is. terry schultz reporting from brussels. terry,

thank you. germany is gearing up to host the biggest ever exercise in nato's history. called air defender 2023. the 10 day maneuver starts on monday and involves $25.00 countries including 2 non alliance members. it's a huge, so a force is war rages in the east of europe. during the maneuver fighter jets will fly daily to estonia and romania, which border russia and ukraine respectively. it'll also be a stress test for german air traffic controllers, trying to prevent the cancellation of any civilian slides. well, ukraine's military says it has liberated a village in the largely russian occupied region of doughnuts in the southeast of the country. troops released this video claiming to show the ukrainian flag being raised in blackwood dock name despite keeps claim of making a small advance for us as military continues to insist that it has successfully

repelled ukrainian attacks in the area as well as the sign and goes on so does the rescue effort in the wake of the cova dan breach is an increasingly dangerous operation. on sunday, the cranium governor of the flood had had a son region set, 3 people had been killed and 10 others wounded in a russian attack on a boat carrying evacuating various. this comes as water levels continued to fall, and the true extent of the damage becomes clear. the streets of this town in the past on region still supp match, spinning the water and stuff in the pro river. it's almost a week on from suspected sabotage of that kind of cool that down that flooded foss . waves of land, along with the clean up. so without turning to the long term damage was

to pull the consequences to come with the 5 children or grandchildren on the should . just as we are, the ones not experiencing the consequences of the turn. all those resolves to the tip is not our. and so since august, not just get, you know, we speak with the feel free to volume on my phone, if not just residential areas and factories that has been inundated. so to as the surrounding countryside. and the fields providing food and livelihoods pushed on when, if you will, these monsters have ruined off bomb logic. nothing will grow for taking they is. she will as an environmental disaster, anybody there to see the ecosystem of the area? it's really in the roof and it just pulled out of me as the owner of this market store. and as i need to aware of the impact the floods will have on the agricultural sector goal. the filtering is obviously a difficult situation for farming simulate those words,

especially. so for those having to deal with a lot of songs to nikolai, i would, but he had a dog. this is just the latest challenge for region that has felt the brutal impact of russia's invasion to see what was on will they just want to destroy you train that's running that way you train in so we will survive or we will be. we will eventually have rockets flying over our heads and we divide will to we will knocked . now we will not allow sounds good and um they will not be sophomore. and we could pick you watching or hook a bunch of kids. as you crane begins the counter offensive. this bolts are now fighting and they come out to cool an economic disaster. to learn more about the ecological impact of the down bridge and ukraine, we can now speak to professor roger falconer. he's emeritus professor of water and environmental engineering at cardiff university in the u. k. welcome to the w

professor. now the scale of this disaster is very hard to fath. i'm, can you put it into perspective for us? maybe we can just start with the immediate impact on the people in the affected region. a well done breached failures, one of the most serious and catastrophic events. you can imagine if you have a massive conductive storm for example, and we're seeing more or more of those across europe as as a result of climate change. you still have plenty of time to react. well, i wouldn't have plenty but you have time to react to move valuables up to higher floors in the building. you have time to move people around and so forth. so by large we don't see in general, significant number of tests and so forth that are too much more extreme events. the what does this mean? which we won't talk about here, but the father to happen to so now you have a very large wave comes hips. the town then moves on, usually at the speed of

a jumbo jet to 500 miles an hour, 800 kilometers an hour. and once it's gone, the water level drops almost instantly, so it's catastrophic. but the problem you have with a down is that you have a massive reservoir here. i don't remember it's 18.2 cubic kilometers, which is a massive volume that's been breached the water level has dropped as i understand it from an average depth of about 8.4. and it's expected to drop by at least 2 or 3 meters. that's a significant drop. all that water is good to go downstream at the time slot, those towns and community easily. what many of those will remain flooded for quite some time, but the water will receipt and obviously end up going into the block. see however, the real problems are just as much up street because once your water level has dropped by 2 or 3 meters, thoughts not going to be replaced easily. you have the impact on the settlements for settlements. this term was built as i started about 70 years ago. so the communities living near and around this time and the farm is and so forth,

of modified them irrigation schemes and so on to fit in with the water leveling this done. when the water level drops by 2 or 3 meters, or maybe even more, then the consequences are significant. you don't any longer have one continue often going into irrigation canals. for example. use settlement, much of which may be talked sick, has now been changed dramatically. and we right, why do what will happen now was right, i did one that you mentioned toxic. so i did want to ask specifically about this danger of toxic contamination, but also disease. what are the most serious concerns these areas? but i don't know, i don't know the specifics about this area. but for example, if you've got think of the bacteria going in from stormwater overflows, which is quite common across much of europe, then this water has been going into the reservoir, for example. it's been stagnant for quite some time. it's

a long retention time and the reservoir, the decaying, the water, the case on the peak of bacteria. for example, i just take and think about it as one of many examples. think of bacteria to case that 90 percent of it is lost in typically 12 to 20 hours in sunlight in the rest of the wall that will decay quite quickly. without the reservoir that's good to remain. it's not going to decay to anyone near the same extent. so uh, 4 feet, go back to you and many other constituents. your whole ecosystem is going to be quite different. now he doesn't have these long retention times in the reservoir. you couldn't argue that the water and the rest was slow down so you could potentially get out do blooms and so forth, which you may not get now in the future. but certainly, there will be a significant change in the, in the biological, any logical characteristics as this base and move back to the old, traditional rewards leveling the river rather than the water level that you have

now in the, in the reservoir. all right, that was professor roger falconer from curtis university. many thanks. indeed for your insights. pleasure to tennis now and now the joke of which has made history by winning the french open. this is a record breaking 23 grass. i'm title for the serbian superstar in the final it's real and got those junk of which beats norwegian caps for a rude and straight set. 766375. to capture his 3rd french open crown. the 36 year old is now the 1st man to win all 4 majors at least 3 times. and now to a food fight for a good cause. the world the custard pie championships have crowned a new winter this weekend. take a look at that competitors in england. it took aim at each other to raise funds for charity. contestants are only allowed to use their left hands and

a hit in the face. scores counseling team by face had the recipe for success and back the title. the event has been taking place since 1967 and that's the latest on the the you news this. our off next is shift with details of a trained a i that can read brainwaves and other stories. i'm mary evans team. i'll be back at the top of the hour with more headlines for you, for me and the entire nice team. thanks for watching the several did and wide range stream is simmons, right. so the question again.
