the i was a metal cutter. i didn't know what has the best on the never ending story of asbestos starts june 21st on d. w the . this is dw news line from berlin just into killed in an attack on our school. and you gone to the government, plains militants linked to the as womic state in chest, it's pursuing the government. also, on the program, russian president vladimir putin announces the transfer of nuclear weapons to bill rich. he said the move is meant as a deterrent,

but he remains unclear about his willingness to actually use this as african leaders or in russia after meeting presidents of lensky and keep hoping to convince ukraine in russia to hold peace, thoughts the a warm welcome to abuse around the world, unlike loco, restored in uganda, where the army says at least 37 people had been killed in an attack on a secondary school. most of the victims or students, the overnight attack took place in the town of pon way on the border with democratic republic of the congo, some 400 kilometers from the capital kampala authorities say they are pursuing militants from the ugandan militant group linked to the islamic state the earlier dw corresponded julia small gum bought in the gun and capital kampala

updated us on the attack. the latest we are hearing from the ground is that there's a very big possibility that this number could even be higher. the initial number was 25 and then the military puts the number that's up to 7. that's the phone number we know. but from what we understand from associates on the ground visit possibility that some of the people who fish this, that tech could have died and then they have not yet phone to their bodies. some of the reports indicates that some of the people were burned beyond recognition. and what do we know about the group blamed for the attack? that group is called the lie democratic forces. it's headed by one gentleman called jimmy with makoto, who is actually under custody by that you've gotten and police who was arrested in terms and yet if he has a going 100 to the gun and a so it is. but that did not stop his group from launching attacks. they've been

operating mainly in the force of the democratic republic of congo. and recently you got a government sent troops in partnership with the congress. i mean, try to refresh these people down from those forests. they have been previously linked to, uh, a group cord is let me group they, they allow me to state. but what we know is that they've also had previous attacks, like such a new gun to where they've pushed it dmitri and queued more than a 2 police up in about 25 years ago. we understand several people have been abducted. what if anything, do we know about rescue efforts to the risk? if what's, what it until is the military i sent out messages. the police has also sent out to messages reassuring your guidance that they're doing what you've already come to get to the deputies from these people. they've deployed heavily and we understand the a sharing intelligence with their counterparts in the democratic republic of co,

my know so active it is own going to try to call about it intelligence also working with the citizen working with the civilians in the affected regions to see that they can help disagree to forces conclude and the possibility of arriving to a possible way of getting to these ada for a bose dw corresponding truly is more gumble in kampala, many manufacturer this russian president vladimir putin has announced the arrival of the 1st nuclear warheads in bel ruth and said that more would follow speaking at an economic form in saint petersburg on friday. instead, the move was meant as a deterrent to quote, those who are thinking of inflicting a strategic defeat on russia. but he remained unclear about his willingness to use them. here's what bruton had to say in his own words. what is the use of nuclear weapons is sadly, theoretically possible,

that i see it from russia. this is possible if there is a threat to a territorial integrity and independence and serenity. the existence of the russian states. nuclear weapons are created in order to ensure security, in the broadest sense of the word, to ensure the existence of the russian state. but we fast, they do not have such a need. and secondly, the very fact reasoning on this topic already reduces the possibility of lowering the threshold. so the use of the when, when you mean, we have most such weapons the night to countries. and they know that they keep on inducing us to begin talk. so never duction or to push the commissioner wise pretty . i'm not sure i'm not familiar with the earlier i asked the deluge of russia analysts, konstantin, edward, whether there is evidence of the transfer. well, i think that's part of the evidence is only in possession of uh in the us and on

the west in terms of services that have their ways of verifying it by frontier speaking. i think there is a 1st that's deliberate. another question, michael, is with a more way to be restored and building was because if you days ago to me this slightly cryptic statement saying that's of everything that needs to be deployed will be deployed when a storage facility is already started. specifically, this may not be ready for a long time and who to may not be relocating and sort of really pulling a lot of stuff. but in bill of which i think for him, it's important if you wish to do you are exercising, threatening to west. but you also understand that major redeployment will also ensure that there is a response from the west. and that is not, i think something that she wants to see and the rest of the western booth. me back to you in a moment, konstantin. but 1st i'd like to take a look now at a trip by delegation of african leaders to ukraine and russia. they were set to

meet with putting today in an effort to convince him to negotiate peace. but the delegation didn't have much success on the 1st stop of their mission and ukraine. it's paying their respects for can leaders visit food to the side of a legend atrocities against ukrainian civilians at the hands of russian soldiers. life is really messed up and we must protect lives, lives, russian lives, global lives. that's important to protect the nice and focus on the develop. the visiting leaders also inspected, destroyed russian military equipment on display and central keys. a show of support of south african presidents, serial rama, post as stress. it was not unqualified support. so the 1st one is that we are here

to listen to listen both to prison zalinski and tomorrow would have been listening to prison, 14 and reduce. so with deep respect for the people of ukraine, which we have expressed to president lensky. we're going to also listen to president 14 with regards to how he sees that rhodes, to peace from a poster. also stress, the urgency of keeping green and fertilizer flowing out of ukraine. as african countries struggle with price spikes and food and security in the wake of the russian invasion, the delegations visit was interrupted by repeated rushing airstrikes on the capitol region, causing the landscape to question why the african leaders were headed to saint petersburg on saturday of more uh, getting this sort of russian strikes attached to the fact that putting is not in

control of his own army because they are striking us with missiles. now, assuming other nations have decided to visit the country that initiated the missile strikes today. to me, i'm not quite clear as to how logical this look, us lead the leaders of free countries. it's their choice. i to be send us. so lensky has ruled out any peace talks while russian forces are still in ukraine. constantine as you well know today, african leaders, a meat coon in st. petersburg. we also understand there's a scheduled bilateral meeting between south african president ram, oppose a and who's and what have both sides likely to discuss as well. i think that the african leaders, especially president muscles are going to be seen as actually trying to achieve some kind of, quote unquote piece break for the rest we heard in the, in the piece frontier. so they want to be seen as quickly distance from but ukraine

and russia. but this is a completely false position because we have a clear cop case of aggression. one state against the other. the, the, you in charge i, the ukraine has on everything it is disposal to defend itself. so a frankly, i think this is an exercise in to logic. so please copy off all of those are and absolutely so it's like a better know what the, he's going to get a negative response from boots. a put a, there's not ready to solve this. well, she continues to rely on rushes demographic advantage, which is really still huge. and he hopes that he will eventually wear ukraine and it's western analyzed out. so no matter what the tells him, it's completely so to be relevant. there's one thing i'm showing that go to discuss and that is posted as possible visit to the summit in south africa as we noticed, some african countries asked the international uh, chemical to uh,

temporarily 3 of the, um, the say that it was a warrant for putting this internet for us to put this rep. i don't think it will work, but again, i suppose this is something that's normal for them to his team wanted to try, but i think it's going to be very soon forgotten. just like the chinese piece initiative was forgotten, few days after lunch menu, so many, many thanks. as always, constantine edgar dw russia analyst for a brief look now at some of the other stories making headlines at this hour, the greek coast guard is under pressure to explain its actions after a boat carrying migraines sank in the mediterranean sea on wednesday. at least 500 people are presumed drowned a coast guard vessel escorted the visibly overcrowded boat 4 hours before it went down. greek authorities have arrested 9 men from egypt in connection with the disaster. us secretary of state antony blinking is expected in beijing on sunday.

it will be the 1st visit to china by a top american official since president joe biden took office relations between the 2 powers have sunk to new loves, and blinking says the us wants to make sure their competition doesn't vere, into conflict evolving late last year. britton's king charles has taken part in a parade known as trooping the color. the ceremony marks the monarch's official birthday. the tradition goes century since the 1st time in decades. a monarch has written on horseback at the event in switzerland, caution and fate has averted a disaster. one month ago, the tiny red, the residence of the tiny alpine village of brigands were evacuated because of the risk of a devastating walks line. the rocks have tumbled down the mountain as predicted, but have miraculously missed the community by only a few meters. this is

a huge rock slide, the crushed down a switch, the mountain and the early hours of thursday morning. and this is how close it came to burying the village of greens with his missing the houses nearest the mountain by a few meters. the residents were evacuated a month ago, after geologist said long warned of the dangers of the rock collapsing. the mood after the rock slide was largely one of intense relief. the landslide is now no longer a danger. about 2 thirds has now come down. this is very good news because the danger to the village is now much less especially fortunate. the very large debris flow last night did not damage the vintage. we weren't expecting that an access road to the

village has been completely buried while other roads were closed by police. but for the near 100 strong group of residents forced to leave, that's the best possible outcome. they just want to return as soon as it's safe to do so. the list, cool. these would be the lift that gets released that it came and none of the buildings were affected. so that's as far as i can see. think ultimately, then we'll go back home, back to brains where we belong. although the worst has been avoided, experts say it is not yet clear. if the danger has fully passed, the safety of the village cannot be guaranteed at the moment. as of today, conclusively, of you all's yourself. what could still happen is still the case that we have a large part of the mountain that's still moving. and we have to watch that closely . for now, though,

the strongest sense in brains is that the village in the shadow of the mountain has had the most remarkable of escapes. he is a reminder of our top story. dozens of people have been killed in an attack on the school and have gone to the government is blamed militants of links to the as womic state and says it's pursuing the gun. we will end at their dock. film is next presenting the story of a former soldier and diplomat, determined to teach the rules of war to those who might be drawn into future conflicts. michael, look who i'll see you at the top of the next hour. the, the interest, the global economy, our portfolio g w business be here's a closer look at the project.
