the list of goals escaped from treasury under these thoughts. oldest fis, on d, w. the, you're watching the, the news live from berlin. poland says russian mercenaries and bella roost pose a growing threats from ford. so that wagner, soldiers are training fruits and bellow roost prompt more salt to beef up its own military presence along poland. eastern border also coming up on the show emergency crews battle wildfire is raging in greece as a new wave adds to the misery for. so i'm hoping to save their livelihoods from the

flames. it's too late. and after an almost a 36 hour hunted, german police admit berlin's mystery lion may not have been a lion after all the hello, i'm quite richardson, a warm welcome to the show. poland is now a tree, is rita pulling more units closer to its border with bell, the roofs. that's after reports of rushes, wagner mercenary group training dollars and soldiers that a military base and belarus witnesses info into near the border said they could hear shooting and helicopters more saw had already sent additional forces to boost security of the border with fellers earlier this month, poland prime minister warrants that wagner is increasing presence in bella rouge, post an ever increasing threat to both poland and nato may as fits the vanya

the strongly be, just all provocations by look of shank and better associate. but we know very well here that we must be vigilant as a whole by so this is control above all because the roots and russia are working handed contents of the d. stabilized poland to the stabilize the eastern part of nato. but suddenly, on the eastern part of the european union, they say in an attempt to expose our weakness y'all's school stand for that reason we will respond with the toughness gulf coast and national fight of those stems. i can assure you, let's get more on this for me. help out and i'll skate in washington dc. he's the managing director for the german marshall fund to ease thank you so much for taking the time. there's clearly concern on poland eastern border about wagner. troops in neighboring bell r. bruce, but how big of a threat do you think these mercenaries really posed to poland? russia and bellows are creating

a vocation by creating this exercise is by moving more on wagner trips $2.00 out. i'm. i'm normally placed in the worst apollo. and so i'm speaking to you from washington because i'm on a visit, but it's very clear that this sense of that i have coming from dollars is growing. we don't have a clear understanding of the numbers of wagner's troops at b s station even at the bellows. but the fact that bell russian forces are training with wagner in their offering, columbus. stine and so it's more of a green man tactics. he's very concerned because we are basically concerned off uh, not just direct, but sort of indirect borderline publications on the, on the published by the russian blogger. tell us more about what that might look like. clearly, poland thinks this is enough of a threat that it's gone through the trouble of moving its military units.

so we have to go back to a time guide before the russians invasion onto crane when a bellowed roost and will caution call, has used uh illegal migration slows. actually attracting people from a rock and syria and then sending them on the border to a to, to poland, creating extra mandatory and disaster. and also sort of using stuff tactics to create a east ability. we don't know yet what wagner can do, but the fact that they are creating this exercises and provocations suggest that we can. we can consider all these bell russian border and even stable stable region. and given that, and this is the main directory of the trach, one can imagine that would be more a either migration flows or perhaps to have special forces operations that might be

directed just to sort of rattle paul, it's a military as well as pulling society. and from competing, secure, as we should be, feeling secure, being part of nato and, and being partnering, partnering our bill of russian neighbors. yeah. to that points the german defense minister boris. the story a sent on friday that germany and tomato are prepared to support poland and defending the alliance as eastern flank. what might that look like explicitly and specifically? and so it's very important that lions, including our key allies in the united states and in germany, take this drug seriously. the new summit was very explicit in terms of creating regional security plans that, that rudy show how every interest americans say,

or every centimeters, a nato territory will be. we'd be protected. i don't think we need to see an additional deployments just yet. but all in the right now has about 10000 american troops on the grass round bottom. the alliance to be a very close attention to how well it is operating, especially that uh, besides the wagner group, russia also placed new clark, tactical missiles, and weapons in that envelops something that is of additional tract and additional concern for uh, for pulling. okay, we're gonna have to leave it there. thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us on dw news. that's how but i know sky from the german marshall fund east staying in the region. russia has carried out target practice in wifi. our exercise is on the black sea. the russian ministry of defense released this footage of the

drills, claiming it shows anti ship cruise missiles targeting mock enemies and to be ships . and this comes after both russia and ukraine announced they would consider any ships headed to the others ports to be potentially carrying weapons. earlier this week, moscow ended a deal that allowed green to be exported through the black sea. the web security council will meet on friday to discuss the humanitarian impact of that decision. turning to greece, malware firefighters are battling to get wildfire is back under control for the 5th a day in a row. firefighters and water bombers from other european countries are joining the efforts to battle the plains as temperatures sore. again, thousands of properties have already been burned down or corresponded 80 and east f was on the ground at a family own summer camp. near athens, as they battled to save it from the plains in the hills near the greek coastline, we followed the fire brigade to a hotspot, water bombing planes,

and helicopters of kept the situation under control until now. the regional commander wants to show us the progress they've made. the when we arrive, the situation has changed. another firefighter tells us the commander can't talk. they have an emergency on their hands. a fire is threatening to spread into a family own summer camp. it's been evacuated, but the owners are still here helping as much as they can. of these companies from 1953. and so we have a similar issue that i was very young to them in 1995 and we monitor saved the savings, then we helped the savings. now we were very optimistic, the mornings dollar we are again the very think fontes. they put out a call for help to the fire service to be pack the planes that are approaching the fence. several water bombers managed, directed in the fire smolders 3 or 4 times. we've seen the fire simmer down

because of the water being dumped from the sky, but then 3 or 4 times, the fire re kindled and we've seen them go back out it with hoses and even buckets of water. some of the firefighters have been working through the night in the morning and are exhausted. finally, the commander says he can speak to us because the flames are once again dying down the fundraising. we're trying to secure this camp here and we're doing everything we can model and for now we're monitoring. that's cool. that's good. but then there's a sudden commotion inside the gates to camp. the fire has spread around the back and just seconds to hope that prevailed has turned to panic. a wall of flames is coming in on a new front where they weren't prepared the, the heat is palpable and so was the sense of danger. the owners look on in

disbelief and then make a last attempt to save the tents that welcome summer campers for generations. 7 then just like that, it's all over the fire barrels down the 3rd side of the property, moving a 100 meters and 10 or 20 seconds the campus all but surrounded with only one way out. back to the parking lot as fast as possible. so it looks like they've lost control of the fire here they are asking everybody to evacuate immediately. the family that break the wildfires all morning has lost the flight and grief that's in front of the we couldn't do anything. it meant a lot of us and it means us,

i don't want to visit boston because again, it was all here 20 minutes ago and now and believably, it's gone. but everyone survived in with them the blueprints for how to rebuild to some other news. now here in berlin, police are saying a lion that they've been searching for since thursday night is probably not a lion at all. after reevaluating this video, that sparks the hunt authorities now say it's more likely a wild for to the mayor of the small town, just outside berlin were over a 100 officers have been searching for the phantom feeling deliverance. the big news, what we see up here is around it back in there, come to the legs off fairly sick. and now if you look as a line to lean hind legs after evaluating the video materials carefully,

we conclude that the situation is not acutely dangerous. and we conclude that the video that was recorded on wednesday night does not show a predatory count while from war on this let's speak to biologist, katerina alumni to her from the organization of pro wildlife. she's joining us from unique, a catch every. now were you surprised by this latest news that the lion, this is in fact a wild boar now and so the fact is that we had such a situation before in germany. so in 2015 to align cops were found in a parking lot in germany. so it would not have been surprising if this really was in the line. yeah, i mean, what i find surprising is the fact that it could have been aligned because of this incident that you referenced because it is in fact legal in parts of germany to

keep a wild cat as a pet. how can that be possible in germany? currently we're not the big problem that we don't have some nationwide rigorous regulation for a subject pets here. so it's even allowed to keep those really excel take pets. um, and as in the, in the private household um, just a few of our states that are related to that problem and have their own regulation for dangerous animals. but that's most in most areas we don't have this regulations . yeah. so what do you think needs to be done? should regulations be extended? so what we need is a positive list for animals here so that we have clear what animals are suitable to p. s, and pets in a private household. and we have to look at the criteria as well. so we don't own the have to look at is this animal it's dangerous,

but we also have to take into account if we can keep it in the private hole so we can catch your eye properly. so we have to look for animal life, us task force pieces comes of ation issues. you have to look for a 2 basis this for example as well. and also we have to look closer to is so in those problems that could come with x x as well. well, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us on data units. that's katrina, allow me to tell from the organization per wildlife. thank you so so here we go. we're winder of our top stories at this hour. hole in the military is read a point more units closer to its order with bella. ruth, that's after reports of russia's wagner mercenary group training colors and soldiers in the area. poland prime minister called their presence on f for increasing threats and firefighters in greece are struggling to contain fires to
