the, the, you're watching the to be, your name was live or from birth link. the you west urges these arrows whom touch a restore civilian rule. a top official, holtz talks with the military ruler spot fails to reach an agreement to put president mohammed by them back in office. also on the show. the crew sparks concerns in europe about it's a fact on energy supplies, especially in france. these, there is

a key exporter of uranium used to power nuclear plants. so be as worse, natural disaster in decades of 6 people die and devastating floods. 2 thirds of the countries to 1000000 residents have been effective. and just how hot is the ocean record? breaking temperatures are raising concerns about the knock on effects for the climate marine life and coastal communities. the hello, i'm clear, richardson, thank you very much for joining us. a talk us diplomat has met with new shares military leaders in a failed attempt to enter their crew. victoria newland acting deputy secretary of state said she was denied a meeting with the detained president. both of global and west african leaders are hoping there might still be room for mediation with new jersey leaders. earlier

this week. they ignore the deadline to reinstate the austin president and i'll be economic community of west african states or echo was as of the military intervention may be needed to restore democracy, they will meet on thursday to set to decide on their next move. well, so i spoke earlier to our correspondent elisa, triple now who's been reporting the story from neighboring nigeria, and i asked him if the u. s. envoys meeting showed any signs of promise well clad as lost to read the incident meeting, i was surprised. one found by the stopped us to envoy uh victoria newland. uh that was the secretary uh to the uh you know, a higher percentage of us that i bought in terms of the positives i gained from it . the fact that, uh, uh, she was able, it's not true, was able to, you know, it's a line in the j despite the close enough space. it shows that perhaps the what, how do you assess the diplomacy and also negotiations on the side like what the eco

box had to wait to make sure that there is some sort of, uh, uh, a closure to the situation and the price is, uh, i know you said we did cooler, does this also comes up that we had the in our comments so i'm so you know why haven't spoken about a window of opportunity for the cooling desk to return to power and anthony, blinking new at tech entry, upstate also stating that the us bucks every efforts when it comes to echo as the ending in the price and seeing is a so it only shows how close the us on serious us. i've taken the situation and you say, hey, let's look at costs as a efforts their members have said that military intervention would be a last resort. what other options do powers have both regionally and globally to reverse disco? a welcome that they've already started with the likes of uh, you know, hot uh, bites into comic sanctions. uh, a boat at closures uh, between nights area and all the, you know, west african block nations is have uh,

a more robust discussion said don't forget him. literally cheese has may be planned for echo, right, that's going to intervention will be the last result. so perhaps there will be other non miniature interventions to be used by echo as much of them coming on pressure. it's really kind of expansions on the ad to me to june. yeah, tell us more about that as you've mentioned. western and african countries have already imposed sanctions. they've also cut aid. do we have a sense of how much this is going to hurt these air and the people who are living there? yes, it is. the bought up, looked at this with nigeria and really we're getting so you see todd on do you know the people who live and depend on this daily services within the country is back nigeria to be named unable to get grain of able to get food prices that sold in the, in the country, the bags of bags of rice that begins to get so expensive. so people, but we will find out how to get food as the economy such as continents of bite. honda, don't forget this as a landlord country, but one of the parties into well aid from the likes off by us already been called

advantage the country that has, you know, about 20 percent of his budget coming from paid. so the sanchez, we're really buys hot already as we see in the j to w correspondent. let me set you up on my thank you as always for your reporting. the military cruise, also raising concern over the global supply of uranium for nuclear power plants. these air provides a 5th of the european union, geranium imports. it's a crucial supplier, especially to france. let's take a look now at the possible effects the crew might have on the international energy mix, french nuclear reactors at work producing more than 2 thirds of the country's electricity. they need a steady supply of uranium to keep making all that power to be here is one of francis top 3 uranium suppliers. the crew is raised worried about what might happen to that supply. one problem for france in particular,

there's little love on the street for the former colonial power. the we have uranium, we have diamonds, we have gold and oil, and we live like slaves. why should we, we can't accept it on the french must leave. we don't need them to keep us safe on the front of the hotel. it has covet security cooperation with france and reached out to the restaurant based wagner group for security health. wagner has also provided assistance in neighboring malice, another former french colony. part of growing a russian influence in africa for now the use downplaying. any possible disruption utilities have sufficient inventories of nationally reunion to mitigate and short term supply risks and for the medium and long term there is in the 3, there are enough deposits on the wells market to cover the needs. that is something that we have a sustained but the crew comes as the u, including france,

is trying to phase out its dependency on russian uranium. where the u. pest sanctions on russian, oil and gas had left uranium out. russia has every interest in keeping it that way . any threat to supplies from these there or anywhere else makes it more likely that russian uranium will continue to play a role. of francis per i is a senior research fellow at the french institute for international and strategic affairs. he specializes in energy issues. thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us. how concerned are you about francis access to uranium on the match on some this? and of course, it was, we might need to ask you a few minutes ago, a from impulse substantial quantities of when you're ready,

i'm from new shape about the concrete pas supply, which she's pretty much diversified, varies of course, the shape between 15 to 20 percent off for fresh random supplies of set the about of us and you asked us expand? you're welcome to biggest on the left to not dodge was treated. yeah. they fixed the 2nd easy. sure. stocks on the pentodes as you liked and you read beyond that that you clear industry. if the operators saw the electrocute to the dc bar where you pick the day, you'll get the diesel. ah, your steps to give you a bit of a comparison. as far as supposed to be concerned, and all these off costs are very, very strategic. we've interviewed actually, if you you, you're in the conference. all stuck in cheek or stops. represent

a team. get about 3 months off the net on the boat. yeah. just just to come back to the uranium, the small side, sorry for answer the phone but, but this will be a challenge in the long run, right. even with the stocks we know, for example, that france is planning to accelerate construction of new nuclear reactors. when us steps, you steps representing about 3 years of consumption or as you sleep, everyone enjoyed the night. you must never forget the starting mention of a song as if the huge size of stops in the difficult countries such as products such as of the countries. and we must, of course, we mind,

but i will sense of the size of the shape on the market. it's about 5 percent of what revenue production today. so it's not a big issue. you can read about the price. but 30, if what you need, what services voted on the nuclear font? you should have seen that you run the prices up. not already a smaller rice, but the big arrives as, as of each so far for all the gas prices last year for the prince. but you went to the prices of looks like said, let's look at the switch. we need to stop at what level. so you are given that's, i'm not deflect shift on the you want me on a new place order because all the very comfortable because they both

a situation in terms of supplying the mountain as flux and prices. don't you think that this will mean the you will be more reliance though on russian uranium? it's after all, it's still not sanctioned by the you do think that it will make it harder to place targeted sanctions on russian uranium. um you dependency on the revenue coming from the full but so if you get you can use it much more important issue funded directly on coming from you sure can to and i say the full the soviet union. i do not say that she rationally sparked of the question, but your wife doesn't stand there, was vicki stuff. these countries are independent purchase and to say, well, we west started countries with of your whether the us,

i need seen about special ed in for us to do this by russia, especially for event. and you clear up there with the cold holes that to me, which is the mission of russian company, is very much involved with the email about your traitor, including from countries of the coming from the explosion of the folder structure to again. so here we have a significant problem, but it's much more in both of our new shape. look in jupiter because of the strategy, both of those. but give me a cheat. you're a new clip, dobson for focus legit you again these but much more difficult issues as well. thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us as francis prime. we really appreciate that. thank you very much. and we can take a look now at some of the other stories making world news headlines at this hour. the electoral officials and the central african republic,

a sad to over 95 percent of voters had approved a draft constitution that extends presidential term limits. it allows a president faustine options to ad deadra to seek a 3rd term in office. the referendum was boycotted by civil groups and the main opposition party russian missile attacks on the city of pa cross in eastern ukraine have killed at least 5 people and injured dozens more to emergency responders are among the dead. the strikes targeted the ukrainian health part of a region partially occupied by russian forces. the missiles struck the city center damaging a residential area that includes hotels, restaurants and shops. thousands of people have marched through haiti's capital port au prince, demanding better protection from gang violence. protestors gathered outside the prime minister's residence where police fire tear gas to break up the crowds.

experts, a violent gangs of seas control of almost 80 percent of the capital. since haiti's president was assassinated in 2021. and south korea is evacuating tens of thousands of scouts from a global festival as the country. braces for tropical storm kind of wild weather has already disrupted the world scout jambert re with separately countries pulling out due to a severe heat wave. organizers say around 43000 people are leaving the camp site of the and extreme weather continues to ravaged europe. this summer to now in the form of severe flooding, at least 6 people have died after storms hits, lavinia on friday flood water has force of thousands of people to flee their homes and authorities are putting the material damage at more than 500000000 euros slovenia is worse natural disasters since achieving independence in the early 19 ninety's. roads have turned into rivers. bridges have collapsed. videos are being shared on social media, showing people fleeing the flood waters,

a french taurus, films. the moment her companion was rescued from their launching some current itself in north western slovenia. the flooding m lance lines have caused enormous damage. the entire communities have been devastated. raging waters almost completely wiped down per volume in northern slovenia. apparently it's an apocalypse to a total disaster o. c. we. unfortunately, since we're only dealing with the same trouble or more, there's nothing we can do me. it's all. it's very sad. on monday residents, we're busy clearing away the mind revealing the full extent of the destruction a to see what we've resort, severe damage and the enormous financial loss has ruined for the damage amounts of the 10s. if not hundreds of millions of years, it will take a large amount of money to restore everything. maybe all no error. even though the

rains have lit up, rescue workers are now struggling with the threat of lance lines, not just in slovenia, but also here in the southern austrian village of south nickel night themselves on the risk of mud. avalanches is now especially high sewage. i sold the american beside collapsing, but we are powerless to stop it. it is hope that plastic tarps like leaves will help prevent moorland slides. hundreds of people have been evacuated and brought to emergency shelters, just in case moving you has asked the you and nato for aid, especially with technical devices and military helicopters, as well as several prefabricated bridges up to 40 meters long to help access regions that are now cut off, or corresponding rosie birch. here it is in the slow vini in town of per volume in the north of the country that has been hit hard by this flooding. she told us more about the situation there. absolutely seem, does remain domestic behind me. that is an entirely collapse bridge. local

authorities here are doing their best to try and clean it up and get it reconstruct too, and also to add other kind of improvise bridges further down the river. so that the other side of the banks, which is the most heavily impacts it can be cross. now we've spoken to local officials here and they've told us, but no, as you see, the sun is shining. and in the light of day, their priority is to try and get these cleaned up. but there are also some other dangers of blooming here. officials are trying to work to restore a gas pipeline. as you can see, the river is still flowing pretty fast, but there's also another risk which is still facing residents here, particularly a little bit further during this river. and that is the risk of mud slides. there are geologist on the scene monitoring the situation and some people have been evacuated for fear of the dangers that not may pose still in the coming days, despite the fact that the weather is nice certainly turns more mercifully the previous. we can now just to get a sense of perspective,

we understand that most of slovenia as population has been affected in some way by this natural disaster. can you help put that into perspective for us? this is a small country, a relatively small european country, with a population of, of like 2000000 people in large swedes of the country were affected by the storms. but because of the small nature of the population, most people here were told, know somebody that impacted directly. and of course there's the impact also on the basis. there's no way that community sense there is a real sense of solidarity here just in the past few minutes. we've seen a dozens of people arriving. we of bottles of fresh walter with shovels ready to come and volunteer to try and help on. authorities even had to issue a warranty to say, you know, if you want to volunteer with the clean up, please make sure you're not too vulnerable. that you're not someone who is pregnant or a child because of the risk of infectious disease because more people are turning up to volunteer than these the infrastructure necessarily to help with. so this

certainly is a sense of community and a sense of solidarity here in this toyota onto this. all right, so right the wants people trying to clean up the mess they down. there's that has been ruled by these floods. an outpouring of help from volunteer ears. but what about the official response? what have we seen there so far? the local officials we've seen has had people just coming up to them saying that we suffered this damage to our house, to our corporate team. what can we do and the government has been doing what it can we seen military here, for example, but as a small country would be a, has cold on help from its neighbors, from the european union. and from nature, when we know that germany has a subordinate things, some pre fabricated creatures front is also going to be detecting some machinery. there will be some helicopters on the waist. this will be new, has certainly been calling for help. your thinking in countries have answered and more help is expected to be nice in the coming days. thank you so much for reporting that is manufactured in volume. this july was the

hottest month ever recorded on earth, but that's thinking for a minute that has been confirmed by the news climate observer trees today and the warming of the planet is having a massive impact on our oceans. global ocean surface temperatures also is that new all time records last month, raising concerns about the consequences for the climate and the communities most are risk. masses of dying called off the coast of florida. within a few weeks, stretches of coastline here have been transformed from a surviving eco system in sort of like underwater does it. and it's not just environment list sensible on the desk of the colors is having a disastrous consequences. marine ecosystems fisheries, local tourism. terrible shocking. i want to cry myself when i'm in the water snore thing to see this and i contacted some friends of mine and said, um,

you know the reef is bleached. it's something that happened pretty much overnight for the reason for this call of leeching, extremely high water temperatures. the average surface temperature worldwide is now almost $21.00 degrees celsius. a new record, according to the european union's copernicus, climate service. it's only a few decimals womack than the record temperatures set in 2016. but such an increase in such a short period is having a huge impact culls of particularly sensitive to water, polluted by chemicals, all will cause its dramatically wilma experts, particularly concerned known as the rain forests of the c. v. support 25 percent. the whole name of a life without the fish stokes can deplete and devastate coastal communities and fisheries around the entire wells. so a coil is an animal that secretes a skeleton that fuses with the skeletons of its neighbors. and inside those core

animals live an allergy. and the algy gives the coral its color, brown, green, sometimes red or purple. when the water gets too high, that relationship between the coral animal and the algae breaks down. the recent heat waves the to taking place on land and now being follows back stream. who to see, for example, in the car being the newest atlantic x, but say this could lead to even more lots of fish and more intense stones to the floor on this. i'm now joined by louise osborne from the dw is environment department. and those pictures we saw are just devastating it. it's hard to watch um can you lay it out for us? what is causing this increase in ocean temperatures? so we've seen an increase of one degree, which has quite a lot in the northern atlantics, for example. and this is driven by human driven climate change. so we're talking about the building a fossil fuels for a heat or electricity transport. all of these things produce carbon dioxide which

is hitting the atmosphere and also the oceans, which actually absorbs around to 90 percent of the heat that we produce. this is also being compounded at the moment by the el nino weather phenomenon which also leads to higher ocean temperatures. and this is no surprise ready for scientists. and they've predicted that this was going to happen and now we're seeing it go ahead. yeah, we saw some of that damage to florida's coral reefs. can you tell us where else? rising ocean, temperatures are having an impact. so they have a, it has an impact on all kinds of marine animals. if you think of totals, for example, a whales they are being forced into what is that they wouldn't usually migrate to so that they can find cooler temperatures and also find food which is the so moving away from, from these cost to areas. um, as i said before, the ocean, all phillips uh, absorbs heat. it absorbs carbon dioxide around 25 percent of what we admit. warming

temperatures makes that more difficult for the ocean to absorb, so it absorbs less, which could be a huge problem when it comes to fighting climate change. and which is also expands, leading to raising sea levels, which is an issue for crystal communities and for island nations. so these are just some of the impacts there. they're also more that i could talk, but yeah, so rather than just, you know, through our hands up in the air and throw in the towel. is there anything that can be done to reduce ocean temperatures? well the, the thing really needs to be done is that we were to use very quickly and dramatically our use of fossil fuels and the amount of carbon dioxide that we're releasing and see on the sphere. that's the major thing. and the good thing is that we are already starting to do that, you know, renewable energy capacity is being wrapped up, which is going to be strictly important for industry to try to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and with costs and things like that. with regards to the ocean, we can also put in place protected areas which prevent over fishing and pollution,

which causes move stress on these new increases. and by doing that, it means that the best to able to cope with these woman temperatures. well, thank you so much for joining us on this very important topic. we appreciate you taking the time that is louise osborne, from the w's environment department. a change of gear is going to fall now and at the women's world cup of england are through to the quarter finals after a dramatic finish to their knockout match against unlucky nigeria. for a goal was a 120 minutes. it all came down to a penalty shoot out, and the european champions edged through a face jamaica, or colombia next raining european champions. england ends up to match heavy favorites. but it was nigeria putting the stand on the game early. 17 minutes. the s lee punchy shot beat everyone but blue cross bar rate, so daily came close to give in england the leads of the 76 minutes. but nigeria

skokie passed due to in the way and it remained a tough task for the line. this is and that task even tougher when the top goes score a. lauren james was shown the rent card for stumping on her opponents late in regular time. the game went to a penalty shoot out, and nigeria missed 2 spots teaks before chloe kelly short to the top left corner and sent him and through to the quarter finals. nigeria were on the brink of the big surprise, but are now eliminated from the world. the you are watching the news just before we go. a reminder of our top story. as i talked to us official has met with new jersey crew leaders in an attempt to find a solution to the crisis there. she described the talks as extremely frank, and at times quite difficult naturally is update at this hour eco africa coming up
