the wording catastrophe. climate change starts july 13th on dw, the business dw news live from berlin. russian rockets make a deadly strike on ukraine hitting the western city of levine. an apartment building is hit at least 4 people have died according to the interior minister. meanwhile, concerns grow around the safety of the russian controlled nuclear facility in separate yeah, we will have the latest from our correspondence on the ground. also coming up,

funerals are held for palestinians killed in the west bank city of jeanine, after israel's military operation. at least 12 palestinians died in 2 days. i'm drowned, strikes and rates is really military says the dead for military and europe bid farewell to one of its most reliable rockets. the ariano 5 take off for the last time the sarah kelly. welcome to the program. we'd be good in ukraine where officials say that at least 4 people have been killed and several wounded in a russian missile attack on the western city of louise. the local mayor says that thousands of buildings have been damaged and rescuers are now searching through the rubble for potential survivors. in late june, levine was hit in

a large scale russian drone attack targeting cities across the country dw, corresponded to connelly as standing by and keith nick, what more can you tell us about this overnight attack? well, we've had some the math that he's called this the most devastating attack on the eve since the beginning of the war in terms of civilian casualties. we believe this was an apartment building, but there was also a university full of residents near by school. at images of people still going through that rebel try and find most of us took about 30 plus injured. we've heard from the military that about 7 of 10 russian christmas cells were shut down over the night. but obviously those 33 still go through these are very difficult to shoot down because they can just be programmed to imitate an attack on a certain target, one key of say, and then the last minute slip off in a different direction, making much more difficult to guess as per path of these kinds of attacks and i think it's really important stress. olivia is basically

a 1000 kilometers away from the front line. there's the city that is being hubble quickly military, nathan, that his logic felt very far away from the fighting and where people felt safe. then hearing key of say, so this is a real shock. people we thought they weren't relative safety. okay, and nick, you're gonna stay with us, but 1st elsewhere in ukraine, the united nations nuclear watchdog is demanding more access to the occupied separate c, a power plant. this as ukraine and russia, excuse each other of planning to attack the site rush just as ukraine was intending to sabotage the plant. while ukraine claims that russia had planted explosives on a route shop. nick, you're going to comment on all of this, but 1st we're having a closer look because the international atomic energy agency, the i. e. a says that it has not seen any visible indications of minds or explosives on site following checks and recent days and weeks inspector say they have had no access to the roof tops of to reactors, nor some turbine halls or pulling systems. the head of the i a e,

a has called for additional access to confirm. the absence of explosives separates . here is your largest nuclear power plant. it has been under russian control since close to the start of the invasion in early 2022. some economy as back with us and keeps so. so nick, tell us the i a is requesting additional access to this opportunity. nuclear power plant to assess claims of explosives there. is that likely to happen? well this all depends basically on the way i'm on the decision of the russian occupied forces, who control the sites. i think it's important to stress the kind of limited value of these inspections given that they're having to request access phone events. they don't have unimpeded, full access to a positive blog, especially with things is easily moved. as mine say, it is possible with the russians could have instilled minds and then taking them away in time for that inspection and put them back, wants to inspect as a goal. again, so that certainly is a sense that yes rusher is playing alone in part,

but certainly there hasn't been anything near that kind of cooperation that recreating the outside world would've wanted. it was talking beginning of the war of kind of demilitarized zone around the power plant. that certainly hasn't happened. the russians still have ministry kits on or around. the site is to of russian to 2 people based on the site sleeping there. but they basically know the frames, contact them, the hiding, basically, the image equipment behind the rack does. and definitely there are consistent attacks on ukrainian, hel, towns on the other side of the rest of all that who are basically defensive, because they call it 5 back at the opposite of 3 that is attacking them from the other problem. so lots of questions that and certainly situation where it seems to be from key if that that agency is just too slow and not able to really get to the bottom of things. ukrainian emergency workers have been holding drills to prepare for possible radiation release from the plant, and those plans are set to involve evacuating around 300000 people from the area. how high are the fears next of the, what's important stress here, that 5 or the 6 wrecked as aust colds,

that means they've been run down. they've been switched off and doesn't mean they don't need cooling, but they're obviously in a less kind of precarious state. but if they were in full operation, the 6th is still being shut down. and so going to exploit say that if there was some kind of results, that would be less damaging, less of a threat to human health and say, what happened in general when a problem when you was at winds to kind of free for a while. it was still a full operation, but this is a very densely inhabited area. you've got cities like that for reason with hundreds, thousands people, just 50 to them, which is down the road depending on where the wind is blowing on that day. that could be a huge, hesitant to my health, but there's also the aspect of uncontrolled events, even if this isn't sabotaged, even if none of that kind of boring policies plans to do anything. there are lots of problems with electricity supplies to keep the cooling going. what supply keep the cooling going, and then there's also spent nuclear fuel just sitting on the side in containers that is much more vulnerable to any kind of selling or tech from outside indirect as themselves. the i a itself has come under increased criticism from key

presidents. lensky is advisor quoted as calling the i a e is handling of the situation a clown show and the agency had rossi effective. what's behind those harsh words? i think seem from key of here. they are basically convinced that this, i don't like agency like lots of you and bodies is more concerned with being seen to be impossible and keeping good relations with russia than it is about basically as seen from key of telling the truth, calling a spade a spade they are frustrated with the kind of diplomatic niceties, the unwillingness to actually cool things out. and you have the i e, a saying they haven't seen any visible signs of mind. that doesn't mean that they aren't bad. these are things that can be easily hidden, sending his frustration with that in the same way that's, that's frustration that looked into somebody's didn't go to the couple of good them does off the site early enough. they haven't pulled out the fact that they haven't been allowed once the original around the same with access to ukrainian prisoners

will, with ukraine has offered access disabilities to russian. prisons was here. the same haven't happened the other way around saying that the generalized frustration that these organizations made because that mandate all just sitting on the fence as seen from kit connelly and keith. thank you. i'm here some other story is making headlines this hour. at least 16 people, including 3 children, have died and a gas leak in south africa. it happened in an informal setting, housing illegal mine workers near johannesburg. authorities said the residents called for help hours before the bodies were found. an investigation into the causes underway. floods from heavy monsoon rooms killed at least 6 people in pakistan's 2nd biggest city lahore on wednesday. at least 24 people have died and weather related incidents since the reins began. last week. the monsoon season continues until september. a powerful storm has killed at least one person in the

netherlands and one in germany. hundreds of flights had been grounded at amsterdam schiphol airport, one of the world's biggest, busiest hubs. heavy rain and strong winds also disrupted rail and road travel authorities are urging people to stay in doors new protest set for up to didn't tell of the doctor the city's police chief step down. he said that he was putting after ministers and benjamin netanyahu, whose government asked him to use excessive force against those protesting israel's controversial traditional overall. no palestinians in the west bank city of janine have held a mass funeral for many who died in israel's to day military operation. their 12 palestinians were killed by is rarely drone attacks and raids. these really military says the dead were militants and his really soldier was also killed in the operation. rebuilding efforts are underway after the city sought widespread

disruption during the rates holding the dead loft. as they carried them through the streets of janine thousands of moon is gathered in the city to accompany the bodies of a took the 12 palestinians killed during a 2 day range by day as rainy on me and put them to rest. and while the funerals are taking place elsewhere, citizens are starting to play the rubble. thousands of people were driven from the homes and buildings were destroyed by his riley strikes. and by the hundreds of troops that marched into the camp dw report to rebecca riches deserved the efforts to start to rebuild the clean up has the gone. it is on the way to remove the destroyed vehicles and all the debris that has been completely

ripped out by the military. and you say there were explosive devices underneath him, and that is why they had to remove most of the vents from now. i was standing in this very spot a little over a week ago, and i can tell you, it looked a lot different to how it sounds today. israel says that the operation which killed one is really soldier was a necessary cracked down on terra to allow me to cover the dry minister benjamin netanyahu said on wednesday that it may not be the last engineer the oil. if janine goes back to terrorism, janine, we'll go back to geneva. okay, we'll have it faster and stronger than any one imagines. we shall move into the, you know, because of my own that if you mean, well palestinian delegates new york called on the un security council to help them defend against isabel's actions. when they have to do something out of the ordinary . they have to send signatures to the palestinian people that the international

community is not abandoning them. as janine rebuilds a plea for support against another rate by his riley forces and so on his way of being witnessed in outer space erupt. arianna 5 rocket has started its final flight after delays the rock and blasted off from french kiana carrying satellites from germany and france into orbit for nearly 3 decades. the arianna 5 has been a key part of the european space agency is launch program. here's a look at some of the all right, out of 5 speak. missions as the re on 5 e says work horse rocket for over 2 decades now. after some early failures in the 19 ninety's had turned into one of the most reliable launch vehicles in the industry. this final slide carrying 2 satellites, one french, one german will be the series 117 commission. earlier ones included ground breaking

science expeditions like the launch that carried the rosetta space probe, which went on to liaise with a comment and land on one. for the 1st time. for the d. b, colombo, emission, a 7 year journey to mercury. it's paired satellites will only settle into stable orbit around the solar systems in are most planted in late 2025. and then there was the area on 5 as most famous passenger, the james web space telescope, which within just months after launch begin delivering stunning pictures of the universe around us. of the already on 6 will replace the area on 5 is the european heavy lift rock and of choice. it's 3 stage design will be able to heave over 20000 kilograms into low earth orbit. and around half that payload into higher g o. stationary orbits had a significantly lower cost,

then it's predecessor, it's development, however, has been marked by delays and it still isn't clear when the already on 6 will go up . for the 1st time. we are not mentioning yet a long show date to a launch period. we're having some good the code thanks because milestone to was. i'm a especially also 2 of the best that i did i my probation. and these 2 tests, of course, we need to define and to, to, i mean on the, for the focus of a good thing. do you have an 6 launcher for its, you know, go through a flight, the launch bed. but for now, it's time to say goodbye to a legendary rock at the already on 5 will be a tough act to follow high up into the arts atmosphere and to beyond. so why is the european space agency retiring a workhorse rocket with a launch success of 95 percent? we put that question to keith cowan of space rough dot com. well,

you like everything you want to do better and cheaper. and the area on 6, when it does fly is design to be much cheaper to launch. and we'll have more capability. of course it's been delayed which sort of under cuts that a little bit. but once it gets fine, when would hope that the, the legacy a very on 5 carry suit the area on 6. and it continues to launch all this amazing stuff. and just based keith calling there a space rest dot com. you're up to date now and date of use up next business day with us. if you can. i'm sarah kelly in berlin. take care the nice. i love that i've loved her since the beginning because of her character because of her courage and.
