and the people behind a verb and catastrophe. climate change starts july 13th on dw the . this is dw used lot from berlin, united nations wanted. so don's face is full scale civil war following a deadly rate. the conflict of sending south through denise refugees, back home on the previous journey, after originally escaping violence in their own country. also coming up the record integrating temperatures, half environmental as sounding the along. we talked to

a scientist about the dangers of his wife and ukraine. honest as soldiers and angles must count as precedents. lensky returns from tactics with the combined to consider heroes for meeting the defense of the hello monica jones. good to have you with us, the united nations, as warnings. the don is on the brink of a full scale civil war that could, to destabilize the entire region, often asked why killed at least $22.00 civilians. it is a residential area and the city of i'm dorm on the air rate is one of the deadliest attacks and the nearly 3 months long conflict. the fighting between sedans, military ruler and a powerful power military group has already displaced about 3000000 people.

and the attacks that ensued on i've been sparking a mass exodus of refugees who originally fled, fighting in their home country of self so done. and it is mocking 12 years of independence today since breaking away from sue don in 2011. it followed years of civil war. the country has one of africa's most diverse populations and ethnic fighting is ongoing despite a 2018 piece deal with us with an a unity government. president, a solve a tier recently pledge to let the nation suppose elections, which have been repeatedly delayed, will take place by the end of next year. dw has been speaking to some of those forced to make the dangerous trip home the travelers for days dodging bullets and death, and not for the 1st time from south so done. but left a decade ago when the country was tearing itself apart. back then they fled to what

is now saddam, but now there's a civil war there. so they've come back home back to where they started. i didn't know think i would come back home because salt, so then they still in crisis. get it and i come to find the words to describe the journey home. many people in the shows that don't all those died because most of the show not, not any with trapped in shelters without you with today the it was hard, the knob was feature attorney has a story to tell when the world broke out, we got that didn't come to him and decided that we had to leave and get to the families all. yeah, we bought a car to call and things and went to the board, the song. so down here with that we ran into she looked try pull, started fighting us. there's something lost their lives. some children died with them came here by boats down to white $9.00 to cost $16.00 much goes on each day. hundreds of new arrivals are registered in the north of the country. they come by plane or our 4 by boats crossing the flood waters that have recently dev

a state of south saddam, so far more than 26000 south. so denise return, these have made it to react, and dp can not fall from ben to. but the struggle doesn't end here. they don't even have good water. they, they need a lot of things that some of them that i think as you and now they are, you know, a seat on, they need assistance with the need it and they need enough food. they need 10 to all of which are in short supply here and elsewhere. so don, this facing the worst humanitarian crisis since independence. 12 years ago, millions of people are internally displaced, congress widespread. then the situation is made worse by political and security conflict and the effects of climate change. the south to denise returnees now have to figure out the next one. in the search for safety, they had left the south to don and try to build

a better life. and so done some hope to return to friends and family, but many others facing the uncertain future countries across the globe of grappling with extreme heat waves. you scientist say last month was the warmest of june on record, and that's by a substantial margin. and the average temperature reached on the unofficial reckless hy this week. it's the, it's the climate change on the el nino weather pattern would push temperatures even higher. the united nations is worn and governments to take precautions to prevent this caused by the intense heat to of more, i'm joined now by rachel cletus, a policy director with the climate and energy program at the union of concerned scientists in cambridge. good to have you with us, dr. cletus. so we're hearing records, the temperatures increase on having to they are these records, the temperatures are expected in the, in central europe and asia in africa. and given that to extreme sheets,

it can be deadly. how well as the work prepared to face and to actually cope with such extreme, whether the reality is not well prepared at all. and we're seeing that as climate changes exacerbating these intense heat waves. we're seeing a lot of people die around the world. we're seeing a threats to food security. we're seeing many, many people get huge illnesses or the elderly are particularly vulnerable, so we're not ready and have to take action. that right now to do better because climate change is going to make these heat waves, where as you say, climate change has excessive badging, the heat waves. all that was caused by climate change by global warming. so climate changes death probably until then important contributing factor. it is some of, of course, that's a whole time of year and we have the new weather phenomena and that is raising temperatures as well. but there's no question scientist

a very to about this. the climate change is contributing to the record, chiefly such as the and you have not seen the kind of weak that we sold this last week in over a 100000 years. wow. and of course, you said we have to take the proper measures now, sadly, most countries including germany on not on track when it comes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. how much time do you think we have gold left to stop global warming before it reaches the tipping point? we are already in a dangerous well, that's been altered by a human cause, the traffic emissions. so there is no time to do so we have to act immediately to sharp, the cut, our emissions, the limits of the worst warming. now we've been talking about that of course i'm and since the powers climate to court in 2015. so when we say we have to take immediate action and we're still not on track, that's somewhat disheartening. what sort of concrete advice would you give policy

makers? it's definitely very sobering. everything that's fine, just for warning us about is now happening and is really affecting human beings. it's affecting ecosystems. not only are we seeing high temperatures online at the marine ecosystems, we're seeing these huge moving, chiefly as, as slow that are affecting the oceans and all the ocean life. so this is a us cleaning red note on those as well as the makers. and it's also that to me where we have to whole special fuel companies accountable because it is their products that are driving climate change. what do you think would eventually convinced those policy makers, especially in the, the industrialized parts of the world, which are largely responsible for all that greenhouse gas emissions. but they don't feel the pinch as much as all the parts of the world. what would convince them to actually change their ways? or it really doesn't matter when the world you are right now. these white glove

breaking heath ways are not something anybody anywhere in the world can bear for too much longer. this week we're seeing record heat waves in europe in the united states and china, north africa, india. it's everywhere in the world. and of course, those who are the poorest, who can't afford air conditioning, who have to work outdoors. those are the most exposed, and those are primarily in lower income kind of trees. but even in which countries people are dying, people are being affected. so policy makers of to us right now, this is a, it's not just this one week which was the hardest. we could record it is the trend that is really very concerning. europe on your of record breaking keep. that's which it silver of policy maintenance right away. right, to rachel create has the policy directed with excitement and energy program of the union of concerned scientists. thank you. so much for that. thank you so much for

having ukraine's president task loan home 5 commanders held kentucky as part of a prisoner exchange deal. the symbolic move has angered moscow, which says it violates the terms of an agreement broke had last year. the group which let the defense of maria pull in the early days of rushes full invasion, was opposed to remain and took it until the end of the war from the battlefield in ukraine to exile in turkey. and now these ukrainian commandants have finally come home. yeah, a little from the, from the army is about teamwork. so just bear with me. from today, we're with him. we'll have our word to say and the battles of the commanders lead the defense of the port city of maria poles through

a months long sage, early in the war as russian forces captured, the city, the ukrainian defend is held out in tunnels under the as of style steel plant, he finally ordered them to surrender in may last. here, the commanders were taken to turkey as part of a prisoner exchange deals and was supposed to stay there until the war ended. there was no explanation for the change of plans as the commanders boarded alongside ukrainian president flooding his zalinski on his way back from mixing with his tuck is counterparts. the kremlin has slammed. the command is returned home saying birth cave and ankara have violated the terms of the agreement. for ukraine, the commanders have become heroes. the return came on the 500, the day of the war. president's zalinski released this 40 inch of him visiting snake islands to mock the day. the black sea islands, games knows, arise when you,

cranium defend, is refused to surrender to a russian warship. ukraine lays a recap to the island, which is what i want to thank each of our soldiers for these 500 days that i might hear from this place, the place of victory as the walgreens on the crazy and lida. remember those who have died and the symbols of ukrainian defiance that marked those early days of the war. dw correspondent dorian jones. as more now on y tech, he may have let the prisoners go a site on clear this be no official explanation from key over its decision, but it's on calculate a slap in the face to moscow, especially as they were given. no prior warning about this release, and it will come off the old one very publicly express strong support for ukraine's beat to join nato just ahead of the nato summit. and this will fuel some speculation of possibly, oh,

the one is costs inconsistent himself from the russian president vladimir putin. possibly because he sees him is increasingly weakened off to the military uprising last month, like gaines who 10 or it could be a good one, sending a signal to moscow that they won't allow us to do. so i'm going to position in this relationship with most go ahead of the expected visit to, to tend to talk the next moment. but the same time, most code will, is very pragmatic. and it's the least we have on it realize that the other one has expressed support, fully ukraine's nato bathing the pulse and the release of these military come on. those will have no real materialistic effects. only ukraine's fighting in a games. russia, what's more important for most of the ways that the old one continues to refuse to enforce the western sanctions against russia. finding the key things, but it will complicate to to ethics of the negotiating prisoner exchanges, which those ones have expressed with zalinski is hope going forward. school school will be very reluctant to do to, to dealings with with road one off the bolts happened today. right. i certainly am

in a most cousin, and he said that the turkey has broken a deal here and after doing so and backing ukraine's ne to impatience. as he mentioned. uh, how is the ad one going to face, put you in one of the to meet next month. in particular, how will he ensure other deals like the very, very important greenville that it remains to float? absolutely this great deal, which is due for renewal in a matter of days, uh when the bowl supposed come with the united nations. i broke with that deal. he has in the past negotiated extensions persuaded russia, which has been voicing concerns about the deal. and this will call into question his ability to do that. but then again, most code does value it once relationship be sees it has an internal code towards the west. marcia has, is very much isolated and it has particularly the month it wants the lifting of sanctions against a very important bank. but russia has that allows it to receive payments with the, to eliza, which is a very key the month. and those to moms will need other ones,

assistance going forward. so at the end of the day, old one still remain on impulse on play. i must go, he's very pragmatic in his dealings. we've russia with the united states and the rest of the world, and we'll look to the one to help in any future deal. so a bit of things i don't expect to change too much. right? dw correspondence, dorian jones and it's been bull, thank you so much. will i have to? are you coming up next? the female comedians, challenging the status quo and practice time. that's on report them. thanks for watching the letter in charlotte.
