the the, this is the, the, the news coming to live for live airstrikes and ukraine and moscow. the russian capital is targeted again by drones with one hitting the same high rise that was from 2 days ago as russia carries of missile strikes on civilian targets in ukraine, including presents a lance is hometown. also coming up,

crane commits new troops to its counter offensive, which so far has been advancing only slowly against deeply entrenched, rushing portions. plus beyond large military leaders. partially part of a small search, cheap civilian leaders still remains a prisoner of the phone to a sheet faces numerous other children and health cities around the world are trying to adapt to deadly deep waves link declined to insure the hello. i'm terry martin. thanks for joining us. russian authorities say a drone has hit a high rise building in moscow. the official said it's the 2nd time the same office tower has been here since sunday rushes, defense ministry accuse ukraine of being behind the attack. 2 other drones were reportedly shot down in most goes western suburbs. the incident in moscow comes

after a russian missile strike on ukrainian present. below them is the landscape phone town killed 6 people and wounded thousands more. on monday morning. of the lay of crane says it's now pouring troops into its counter offensive, against occupying russian forces. this comes after months of training by western countries, which also said modern weapon systems. the boost and troop numbers could be pivotal to ukraine's advance, which so far has made only modest gains. this is what's left of a liberated village, start home my oscar, reduced to rubble. after a fierce 10 day battle by ukrainian forces to dislodge russian occupiers. a rare piece of good news. so rare that present info to me is the landscape mentioned that alongside much bigger battles from last year, giving voice come the candle ones fit that pass on. now the liberation of style mileage. go look at my ssl. ukraine claims to have liberated over 200 square

kilometers of territory. but the front line has only moved a few kilometers in the nearly 2 months that ukrainian troops have started pushing south and east. trying to break through mines concrete barriers and trenches that have slowed their advance and cost many ukrainian lives as well as western equipment. the ukrainians have hundreds of tanks and troops carriers from germany. the u. k. france and the us. bradley fighting vehicles, challengers, leopards there, indispensable, and breaking through front lines. but many have reportedly been destroyed. and the russians have adopted new tactics using drones to help pinpoint artillery strikes and using remotely detonated mines. meanwhile, ukraine is sticking to one part of their strategy that hasn't changed. they're trying to get their native was sourced artillery and rocket launchers into

a range of russian ammunition, depos, blowing up the equipment in the rear. so russians can't use it at the front to drown. attacks have also become more frequent on russian territory and border areas and assaults that have little military value. but for us, russia to divert resources and on the russian occupied crime in peninsula an important staging ground. every village that is liberated provides a boost to the beleaguered ukrainian side. but the cost is steep. ukraine only has a certain amount of troops and tanks. it can lose in what looks less and less like a lightning offensive. and more and more like a long grinding slog earlier i spoke with the w as much as building a n t. i asked him for the latest on the on ukraine's color offensive. what we've

seen is that they keep putting pressure on the rushing lines and they hope eventually to break through at some point whether this will be possible or not, is absolutely unclear. by the moment, probably the results will only be seen when it's over. then we will know whether they have been able to make substantial progress or whether they have been throwing all this manpower and material into just make a few adjustments to, to, to the front lines. what we see is that you, this is really costly for ukraine in terms of equipment, but also in terms of manpower, we've just been to a place near the front line near buttonwood. this is one of the main directions of this counter offensive on how to look at how the ukranian army trains new person now that they need to bring in all the time these ukrainian recruit and learning as fast as they can. they've had less than

a few months of basic training. now they using all the time, they have to learn how to school and the nutrition soon they're likely to be doing it for real. even though many have only been in the army for a few weeks. not long ago, nightingale, that's his goal. assign was living in his village for conditioning this but of course i don't think we're well trained to run this. there's a reason why soldiers in the army don't just serve 2 months. of course we need more training or shot but we're in a situation where a lot has broken down really was we need to be fast to replenish it. there is no time, it's to go, go, go. but that's what i the storming and clearing the trenches is not only one of the most important operations

. it is also one of the most dangerous the word among the soldiers is that the biggest challenge is to survive the 1st time. and the valley, anybody survives more than 3 and i was at the front all ready to show it. we cleared the enemy's trenches in a small grove. it's terrifying. this them didn't. you try to hide among the trees while you are just being sailed constantly from motors, met them with the boat and like get away there is no official fee goes. but you can tell casualties on high by the demand for new soldiers. the unit these men with joined is fighting just over 20 kilometers away. nearby soldiers are constantly rotating in and out of their position that some of these instructors pull from the

trunk line to work for a while. others train full time out to me and just push on the nuances. this is america for that. of course, there are differences between mobilized recruits and soldiers who served $56.00, or even only 3 years. it was easier with them. we did not have to spend so much time on the basics of awful, but i still don't think the level of preparedness has drawn, which we have more experience commanders now who can prepare the recruits even when they stop running the tension, we may still know the code to the front can come any time to thanks for that report by the way of very, very impressive. mit mathias. ukraine has been fighting an intense war against russia. it's much bigger neighbor for a year and a half. now we saw the stress on the troops in your report. how is morales holding up among the ukranian troops?

well, the adjacent is very different. if you have people who have been drafted conscripts, then if you have available in t as in these volunteers do not come in any more because people also have realized now how dangerous it is. this is a very dangerous phase of the will. the soldiers are, of course good. however, of course there is still a sense of urgency that this needs to be done and among the society, the support for the army holds up. the nations keep flowing in. however, of course, every single soldier is now in a very different position than in the beginning of the war when they have volunteered so far. however, it does not seem that this seems to me that this is a major problem, but so it is refuse to do tasks or something like that. with this, thank you very much for now. our correspondent in cube leticia spelling of yellow as former leader also said she has been pardoned in 5 a 5 criminal charges,

but still faces many others and will reportedly remain in detention the military ousted suit cheese, the elective government at coo and february 21. she's been in detention ever since and was sentenced to 33 years in prison. the pardons came as part of the mass prisoner amnesty marking a buddhist holiday. joined now from bangkok by tempting jo. she's managing director of berman news international. that's a network of independent ethic and local bernie's media. thanks for being with us. since you have a partial pardon for on its own. so cheap. what's your assessment of this move by the military junta to just uh, thank you so much. in fact the past year, if i did the part and is not really worth mentioning here because like us who still have to serve so many years of the present town. but does it just to describe the people boma and also the international community of by saying that the pod any

some of the convictions and also present years of dogs as a g. and also the outset our president, we need so that i got it, it just gave me some kind of hopeful of some kind of like a fake hopeful for the people boma. so and also like i is also like that in a way of distracting that the have to extend it another 6 months of images, the data images the so for us it's like that. and this is not. yeah, really going to make any changes for the people because the people are already very determined that they will fight the end of the end, that they will get rid of the image arise issues that all the dictatorship in the country. so like that, every one of us are standing and attend now with a good resilience. yeah, let me ask you about the state of emergency. it's been extended by a further 6 months. so given that, is there any sign of the elections that were promised actually like

uh, this is in a way of delaying the elections because like, uh, they cannot really uh, organize the election in the near future because it, it is like, um, no, they can. the what the 3rd of the country townships are not under the, the military home to. so that means that they are not going to it, you know, that unless she is not going to happen any sooner. that's why the, extend it another 6 months for the image and see yes. 1010. thank you very much for talking with this. that was 1010. you in bangkok, tyler a sketch up on some other story is making headlines around the world today. chinese state media site at least 11 people been killed in severe rainfall in beijing. nearly 30 are still missing days of heavy rain and flooding have prompted authorities to close train stations that have back away people. invulnerable communities are. info is highly unusual for the chinese

2 west african countries of said, any military intervention against the share will be considered a declaration of war against them? the military hunters, the rule. both molly and burkina faso made the joint statement after the army seized control in new jersey last week. the economic community of western africa, of west african states, or eco boston or what the now so sanctions against new sharon said it will use force if the military doesn't reinstate president mohammed, but assume within a week. so it appears the military resumes in body and bertina paso are aligning themselves with a qu, leaders in the chair. i asked our correspondent elisa should cooper in neighboring nigeria for his assessment? well, terry, just saying that the stakes have just turned higher in the region of west africa,

particularly we just have to mention the joint statement from both the june salad. molly, i'm booking out fast, so saying that the any acts of aggression all supposed to be use. indeed, every st. jude say, i guess it was 190 j. what would declare the motion of who gave them themselves then? so again, the phone issue we have for the countries i'm going through with june, that's what, right. it seems like you're tweeting west africa. molly, what cannot process? i'm gaining perhaps may, might even join, you know, policy, so drank a voice and so forth in some, some sorts of i'm lisa insurance. i have studied data uh which i need. yes. so that's the situation right now. the stakes have been high as his echo last day for the ultimate some for 7 days. so we don't specifically unruh phone dish and we still mohammed base and we stayed on to be been detained. well, of course have made that call. the june test of molly i bought cannot process. i've also made just bounce there and it was the economic community of west african states is demanding that new jersey democratically elected leader be reinstated

within a week of his threatened to use all measures including force to restore constitutional order. as we noted, how likely then is military intervention in new share or no, sorry, that is a tricky situation to find out sales individually because it's not necessarily it is very, quite rare to see deployments of west africa block steve. so to any country the last time we saw that most recently was uh well and the situation they get in dam gateway syndic on these policies with us and seeing when he refused to step any pa a couple of years ago. he's very rare to have, you know, political echo as he's on that and you need to not be the chairman nitrous new president. that's what i sort of a who's been talking tough and saying i think echo was basically a bytes heart this time. they don't want to use in the region anymore. but it seems that they thinking i really hot us bounce than the initial cruise we seen in molly . i'm booking our process, so will they come to that as we speak? tech savvy?

the declaration for my quest made on sunday is 2 days into the accounts down i need to on a list, so thank you very much. that was our corresponding to alyssa shakuma in lagos, heat stress, americans in the south, west or breathing a little easier today after a 31 day streak of horizon. o at or above $43.00 degrees celsius phoenix. arizona is finally seen. temperatures dropped slightly, but forecast or say this is only temporary. well phoenix is one of many cities worldwide hit by a deadly heat waves this year, which scientists say aren't on the rise due to global warming. dw said i bought, i took a looked into solution cities are trying out to cool down heat waves, deadlier than any other extreme, whether you went last summer heap, to nearly 62000 people just in europe. globally,

the number is estimated to be at these several 100000 heating city. this particular the dangers they can feel of 15 degrees hotter than the surrounding area. this is called the urban heat island effect, as it happens because concrete buildings, us for payments and tradition of the rules, observe a lot of heat the temperature that they say man gets do i mean if you measured that temperature gets up to 4550 degrees and you're working there. so you're not experimenting that, that 35 or 40 degrees that the environment says that you, you have us framing. think 50 degrees, your walking over 50 degrees. so this is the guy know, he's that we need to address. there's like almost 60 percent of people living in urban areas making this a global have threat. so how about these around the world adopting?

if you compare this terrible image of a city with a maple from agitation, you can see the greener areas are much cooler. that is why colombian city of may day you has build 13 green corridors, they create shade for pedestrians and cool the area the secret target to build up areas. and these even use creating fence cannot be target dollars that resulted in a $2.00 to $5.00 degree drops, giving air temperature sale southcourt. yes, company. other based of major freeway we to 9 to know me to river by the green quarter the around the river and remove of combustion engine. cars like to have 4 degree dropping average summer temperatures. the sofa created a space for live life to flourish. a good example for mitigating. do you get on the say a very low we can start from creek islands that have been built in a way that the reflective you can see that quite white. they reflect the suns and

that the interior of the street villages, or other white villages can be even lower than the surrounding. and this is what made with that, but it's central fish market seem to do painting the roof with highly reflective material. lower temperatures by 6 to 7 degrees, the sport cleansers energy and reduce a seed inside and outside the building. and there is one more simple thing that can say many lives. awareness is crucial, especially for people who are in some kind of danger, from suffering from the heat. and for these people that need to be lapse and positions that they can figure out where in the city it is dangerous and not the injures folks out to go to run, to drive, or to be in general. such for them to be able to maps are crucial for people on the

move. and now there are initiatives to create the categories for heat base, just like hurricane expos emphasize the importance of heat move, categorization, highlighting the just as we don't expect pizza delivery during the category for hurricane we should then during the day he play lights off more on this for join now by trinity fernando, she's dealing with cities as part of the international climate initiative at the german environment. ministry, thanks for being with us. try to tell us more about how cities available to become heat traps. is this a recent phenomenon or has it always been that way as well? this phenomenon is cause us, we saw in this article before on the urban acute island figures, basically how or cds are being built with concrete, asphalt. and that are retaining heat and leading to this to become like a heat um or, or increase the heat in the temperature. but also at this

a current trend and we will continue happening because of the it population lives in urban areas and the organization has been expanding every day more and more. and for example, it's predicted that say the 68 percent of the world's population will even to the spice in 2050. so it will just continue like that. and it's the costs of a rep. it's everybody's ation, intensification of or cds. we saw some examples in our report there of how cities around the world are adapting to climate change in different ways, but how feasible are mitigation measures like those for older cities that might be struggling with tight budgets. yes, and that's a very good question. well, we do have in, in or into been found whole for projects that are linked to climate change, other patients, for example, and one that we were working with to this in india. anyway, mexico and there for example, we analyzed the cds and co create together. we looked at,

they called there's different ideas on how to better adopt the cd. and there is where we saw some pretty good ideas. very similar to what we saw before with, for example, of green infrastructure or in nature based solutions that could support the cd calling but for example, so here in europe we have other examples of the 23rd, the project that we're currently running with to dislike budapest socrative, it's tumble and list fund that are part of it. and there we're focusing on both climate change of the patient that it's very important but also the mitigation. how can we decrease the greenhouse gas emissions with will defend the ideas in sectors of energy mobility or the food system in the said, the etc. so we'll cities then in the future, will it be built differently? do you think to, to deal with climate change? yeah, they need to, like we're working on this other station, but of course this,

the urban expansion, it's bringing new talent just to see this and see, this will need to start thinking how this expansion it's being monitored. and one of the, the recommendations we do is always create this mazda plan and considering ad, because many station plans, for instance, or in some cities, they also work with. he plans for instance, and that is there is always to see how to quoted the cd and to provide the, for example, more green infrastructure or, and also blue refresh, okay. would some water and water a corpse within the city to am to cool down and during the seed whip. yep. trivia. thank you very much for taking time. talk with the stay that was urban innovation specialist trenadore fernandez. thank you. will mess
