the slicing social norms seeking their self determined lives. let's go from drudgery and abuse stuff. august 5th on dw, the, the state of the news log from berlin, jo. 5 hills made a unity after summit with nordic leaders, with an eye on moscow. the us president bows unshakable american support for the alliance. he also expresses hope for you, prince counter offensive to prompt negotiations to end russia's invasion. also, coming up, the united nations says

a mass grave has been found in some don. local people who are forced to dispose of the bodies and a mass graves denying those killed a decent burial for you and says, at least $87.00 people were killed and a massacre in the west star 4 and blamed a paramilitary group and southern europe. swelter is in danger, is heat wave is pushing temperatures above 40 degrees celsius, locals and torres are are, is to take care in hot spots from madrid. tap in the early, it's good to have you with us. a us president joe biden has reaffirmed his commitment to nato's newest member finland as he wraps up his visit to your speaking and health thing. he by me said the us and finland are working in locked down, waiting for a more secure pass for the world. is that the nordics summit which also included

sweden, denmark, iceland and norway address challenges including clean energy, regional security and technology. the talks came on the hills, the best weeks, native summit in lithuania, with the war and ukraine. high on the agenda, binds said he's hopeful that negotiations will bring the war to an end. i don't think the work is gone for years. for 2 reasons. number one, i don't think that they are, the russians could, could maintain the war forever. number one in terms of their resources and capacity . number 2, i think that there is going to be a circumstance where eventually present food is going to the site is not in the interest of russia economically, politically or otherwise to continue this war. but i can't predict exactly how that happens. my hope is an expectation, as you'll see,

that the crane makes significant progress on their offensive, and that it generates and negotiated settlement somewhere along the lines and at that meeting bite, and also called finland an incredible asset, tomato, charlies polonius. pastor knack is a security expert at the finish institute of foreign affairs and i ask what finland brings to the table for a few different things. one is a broader sense of security. suicidal resilience, which we've seen in ukraine has been the core of an actual defense capability. and then there's the military geography of sack here a couple we said in, in bill know that finishing the swedish, made to membership changes radically the entire military, geography of northern europe. not just the nordics and then 3rd there. and there are very concrete military capabilities that exist at the moment in, in finland. you know, the fully mobilized field army is larger than germany's military. 280000. a fleet

of over 60, modern, fully ready and capable of fighter jets american ones, new ones f, 35 is coming. so there's a real military capability and interoperability which has been built over 30 years of nato finished partnership and border for lind. shares with russia is over 1300 kilometers long. how has the sense of security in the country change since it's showing nato? if you look at polls finish, feel more secure. of course, going forward, finished. assume that it is up to finland to ensure that we have a robust defense capability. but in the future, if something were to happen, both the terms component. and if that fails to defense components, it will be done together with others. now on a daily basis, of course, i don't expect feelings foreign policy. these are the restaurant to radically

change because of nato membership. there's still a lot of practical things that for instance, finishing the russian border guards have to communicate about every single day. and in the end, it is russia's decision on how it creates its neighbors. we've seen in the tragic since of ukraine, what russia sometimes thinks of its neighbors, and that view of its neighbors is probably wyatt over 80. percent of fins are very happy that finland's now and they to remember turning to other news and the united nations human rights office says it's found evidence of a mass, grave incidents west or for region. at least 87 people were buried there. last month. the un office says it has credible information that the break away rapid support forces, power, military and their allies carried out. the massacre. as as many of the very people belong to the non air of ethnic most solid group, their bodies were dumped into shallow graves. near the city of l. janetta. ethnic

violence has escalated in recent weeks with rival military factions at war for months now. safe mcgonigal is a spokesperson for the un human rights office in nairobi, and i asked him for more details about the discovery in west r for as well, which 2 witnesses will have fled to reason, although, can i know the condo? who could i english the for region towards a charge, and they gave us consistent. uh, uh, 50 monies. oh um. the delivery is probation officer, barrio of most came up to sleep. uh, people in the symmetry email, dana, you, as you know, there's been a lot of fighting attacks on civilians and getting enough from the drug coupled forces fund fucked up by the a musician and made any buffing cute. but when they, when people up in cute,

they also christmas presented from being buried from in the cemetery. and that we can discuss how it is now the end of the tech is forcing b b to just to, to throw them in these beaches. and so we found is critical evidence of this one specific must graphing project least 87 people have been up in bind or 8 wave is heading hard across southern europe. temperatures are expected to surpass 40 degree celsius in parts of italy, spain, france, greece, croatia, and turkey as well as cyprus. in rome, temperatures could reach as high as 43 degrees and the possible 47 degrees on the island of sardinia in agree capital athens maximum. temperatures could reach 45 degrees on saturday. sweltering heat has made live harder and more dangerous for people. stories are urging residents and torres to be cautious. extreme

temperatures are likely to continue well into the weekend. now scientists say drought seed while fires and other dangerous weather events are becoming more likely and more severe due to climate change. and most places. however, she wouldn't made global warming is not responsible for all weather disasters. floods in india, spain, and parts of the us wild fires had been raging in canada since april, more than 9000000 heck, day as a forest of band. and more than 150000 people have had to flee their homes. at the same time, heat waves have been scorching europe, particularly spain. i have one of these umbrellas here. and if shop owners allow, you can stand in front of the entrance. there is some cold air coming out. i mean that we just drink a lot of water. we have no other choice. extremely side. this is climate change. and we just have to get used to it and somehow it's

a crisis that has long since become a reality across the globe. 9 made climate change is making extreme, where the more likely yet north, all extreme weather can be attributed to a heating planets. for example, according to climate models, the heavy rain and northern italy earlier this year weren't born 10 so likely due to human induced warming. it was actually an extremely rare and fierce weather event for the region. on the other hand, extreme heat waves and northern africa and southern europe last april, with temperatures up to 20 degrees above normal, with different they would have been almost impossible at this time of year without climate change. and when it comes to the severe flooding that had pockets done in 2022 model suggest the global warming increase the rain full intensity data by 50 percent. the event affected 33000000 people and destroyed 1700000

homes. christopher hewitt is head of climate services of the world major are logical organization and i asked when extreme weather events can actually be attributed to climate change? i do yes. so it gets very difficult for the individual events to climate change. so we've been seeing the climate change for quite a long time. it's been getting will not. and so for example, as it gets warmer, you would expect more heat waves, but to be able to sign individual devices, piece of furniture and surprisingly difficult. so sciences else w, mr bramwell, and i see that it's becoming more likely that you to find the change. so how can experts then determine whether or not climate change is to blame? is there an easy answer to this? there's no other ways you also notice that we have lots of ation records. so we kind of look back in the past and see what's happening with temperature rifles to

try and see how that's changed. but to then say i'm sort of set illusion. that's exactly the climate change it is surprisingly difficult. extreme weather events are becoming the new norm, although what can still be done to change the situation? well, so pete white swords on to becoming more and normally as you say, so it's like it's become more intense in the future setup. signagees blooming comes if we continue to increase greenhouse gas, the machines that we expect. so you will get more more woman to check the site, the waste will become most of a more intense, longer duration of the costs of the world. so to avoid that the, the of us officers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. but that is very difficult to do as we notice that reducing emissions, but that's, that's the solution. it's very difficult to do. it is an ongoing mission around the world with more and less commitment,

depending on where you look at. but should we also focus on building resilience towards the factors that we cannot change anymore? yes, so there are some things that whatever we do will carry on for a while. so for example, as the, i can say, williams is for me, the ocean. and as the ocean wellness it expands and the sea level is rising. so serving, let's see. that was rising for quite a while now. and schools have a reserve in the near future. fortunately, the ocean will continue to rise for since you get paid. so even longer, so coastal communities which are going to see of a rise in coastal flooding and so to increase and will need to at that. and that is trying to, i'm as your site have resilience. so the resilience of these changes is the most polluting countries succeeded in reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. would that have the same impact everywhere around the globe?

it was outside of the impact to climate change it as, as you alluding to that. so a batteries in different possible across the impact. so if we do reduce the greenhouse gas emissions, so the biggest mixes over time, we might be then we would gradually start to be able to write in the global warming . and that would bang, for example, with the heat weights that would then mean which be less life time impacts what he waste in the future. but it wouldn't be necessarily the case that if an individual country would use that or emissions, then they would produce the impact in the around the country. the climate system is global in nature. and so the impact soft belts across the globe. but as a global community, we work together to reduce emissions, then we can have an impact globally as well. reduce the complex that is christopher hue, a director of clement services as a world leader or logical organization. thank you so much for this. thank you. tennis. now and elena sweeter lena as dream run at wimbledon has ended in the semi
