feasibility of sending stokes. now torres is an edge. the ground cruise missile with a range of about 500 kilometers. it's designed to highlight precision strikes against highly protected targets. keep has been requesting deliveries of tours missiles for months now to aid is counter offensive against russian forces. but german shots, so it will show its has so far been opposed to sending long range weapons to ukraine. okay, let's go straight to a political correspondent, curious identity whose it dw elementary studio here in berlin, julia, i'm, can you tell us more about the tools that are currently underway between the defense ministry and german, germany's weapons produces. now one thing we have to point out is that we have had no official confirmation from the german government that these talks are on going. but we've seen different media reports mentioning them, and they say that in fact the german government is talking with the manufacturer of

the taurus and missiles to possibly deliver them to ukraine. these are air launch, cruise missiles, meaning that they are launch from an aircraft towards the ground. and at the moment, uh, they wouldn't be compatible with you. korean aircraft, meaning that also germany would not be supplying aircraft to ukraine. just the missiles and these are missiles that have a range, as we've heard of up to 500 kilometers. and that is important because according to the reports, the german government has requested from the manufacturer that they apply a technical modification to the missiles, meaning that they cannot reach a range of up to 500 kilometers. it will limit to the range of the missiles. so that they would not be able to reach russian territory and industry experts have said that these modifications are possible, but that they would take some time. and the reports also states that the german

chancellor, all of shots uh, wants to wait until it is confirmed that these modifications can be applied before he officially announced. isn't confirms that germany will supply the tourist missiles to ukraine. okay. we know that kia has been asking for these missiles for a long time. germany has been reluctant to meet ukraine's demands. again, as you say, this hasn't been confirmed yet, but what, what potentially change here as well, the important points are exactly these 500 kilometers of range and the possible modifications that can be applied to these missiles at all of shots and his party. the social democrats have been hesitant. we've seen over the last year in terms of surprise supply new and more powerful weapons to ukraine because they are afraid to be seen as being directly involved in the war and ukraine. and they don't want to see german weapons involved in the tax against russia. and it seems like possibly

this modifications to the missiles has convinced all of shows that it is possible for him to deliver the tarus missiles to ukraine w's political correspondent, judy is found at lee. thank you so much, the update. okay, we're going to take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world and you cranes, government has announced a humanitarian car. it will allowing the departure of thousands of cargo ships trapped in its black seaports since rushes invasion. the ukrainian navy is still warning the risk remain from mines and from russian to tax. moscow has increased strikes on ukraine's port since questing a deal to allow grain exports last month. and ukraine says, a russian missile has struck the hotel used by the united nations in jeffery, just killing at least one person. now this is the 2nd attack on the southern city. in recent days,

it's about 50 kilometers for europe. biggest nuclear power plant. the full in the south african president, jacob zoom has reported to prison only to be swiftly released again under a new program to avoid over crowding and jails. duma was sentenced to 15 months in prison 2 years ago for refusing to face questioning of a corruption, an cronyism allegations. his imprisonment spots, riots that left hundreds dead. this season showing i have issued a regular so the arrival of tie soon to non some 23000 residents have so far been evacuated from areas in the northeast can on is expected to cause heavy flooding as china is 6 types soon. so far, this year, leaders of the west african eco us block have ordered the deployment of a stand by force to help address the crisis in these. yeah, they say they want to explore every means for

a peaceful resolution to the military cook, but the message is clear. if he has millet treat rule as do not reinstate the countries democratically elected president magnesia could find itself on a collision course with its neighbors. we stand for can lead as arrived in a boucher to move in next. move it urgent. amazing. came up to me. she is going to ignore the ultimatum to stand down from the power grab the principles. the group says, all diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis has been rejected by the military lead is now the ramping up the pressure to restore democracy. issuing this directive, direct the committee of the chief of defense stuff to activate the equity fund by force with all its elements immediately order the deployment of the equity fund by force to restore a constitutional order in the republic of new shit. but it still isn't clear what

that will look like for the stand by force, likely to take weeks, if not longer to assemble. the block also reiterated its commitment to finding a peaceful resolution. earlier the hunter took some national tv to announce a new government, with an easy is deposed, president's mohammed bosom still, and the house erased. concerns of growing about his well being. as we are aware of a recent reports that president obama resume of new share and his family are living without electricity, water, food, or medicine. and i can say the following. the secretary general is very concerned over the deplorable living conditions, the president but zoom and his family are reported to be living under as they continue to be arbitrarily detained by members of the presidential guard in new share. as the political did, law continues the people of media, a wary of what comes next. really after the who did the,

our country really leave and the bug situation. why i see a bug situation? because do that, if you look everywhere, we can see everywhere there is light to apply to applied. so i think is going to use it $0.42 on the policy to intervene, not military interview. tough sanctions on nisha maintenance, struggling with rolling power caps and supply chain disruptions, creating food and susan tea for residents awaiting the next move in the countries future. and we can get more on this from cuz the stuff smit is a member of the german parliament from trump, sla shirts, the social democrats where he sits on the defense committee. welcome to dw at mr. schmidt. can i stop by off? can you, how's the new jack, who is affecting germany's longstanding ties to the cell region? well, i think we have,

we have to do for between the salt to the impacts and the long term impacts of costs and on the show to him hand. and we have 1st of all, the safety of, of soldiers and all the citizens within the reach and to keep that in mind. but of course, with the european union public mission that it can be no partnering mission without a problem. and our problem is the electric government of new share, and therefore we have to stop as we do the european union partnering mission, but on the long term. and there are some goals we have to achieve. we have to re think, oh, solid strategy i think. and we have to get much more intelligence information with within the country. so we engage and we know that germany as long have significant strategic interests in new share. that this could really take the german government by complete surprise. yes, i think we were taken by surprise. this is my impression. we were completely taken by surprise. we always thought missionaries,

our stability pop steps will probably within the region. and therefore, i just told you, we have to get much more even intelligence information out of the country. so we engage football, our pub, in the nation's very surprise taken by surprise also. so this is not a problem. i guess you are a rough with to so the military partnership mission in the share which supports piece building efforts and has been working to enhance needs as ami. you've suggested that the crew has threatened this partnership. if this is the case, what will the consequences be for the region? well, i'm not too sure about that actually, because i think, as i said, in order to have a problem with emissions, you need to have a partner. and the european union union was invited by the elected government of new se. and now this government is not in charge anymore. and i do not see any,

any possibility to work together with the military for them to uh, for strengthening their military efforts in order to, to fight against service. but this will be civilized to reach and be us in some ways caught in a dilemma. okay, so just to be clear as the democratically elected lead to is not returned to power, then the can be no more cooperation between germany, india i do not see any, any corporation on the, on the military side, on the police side, or even within development assistance with the military's going to and of course, new tire in a can go long in, in some way. but i do not see any form of corporations within this is with disabilities. ok, and i wanted to talk to you about the issues migration these areas on the main migration routes towards europe, considering these as role in migration control. how might this coo now affect

europe's and germany's migration policies? but once again, we do not know what, what comes next. i think the act of a signal is a very strong signal, but maybe it even gets worse. so even this isn't if this doesn't help other medical need somebody to try the information, we have to admit that there might be some might be a lot of fear within the region. and that might, even the national, within the chance to make ration might start to get. and the role of initiated within the, on the trans national routes is quite to you. so them may be a change, but you know, we do not see any change yet, but there might be a change also. so we have to reach think about our commitment within the reach and, and look for other products. of course. all right, kristof schmidt, a member of the german government and the defense committee. thank you so much for your time and for speaking to us and dw today. thanks for the invitation

of the head of russia's wagner. most mary group. yes. can you pre ghost and has welcomed the recent qu, initial volume has long been active and this the health region of africa up to the groups failed uprising against the kremlin last month. much of its forces have been based in belarus. apparently, officer deal was made with that country leader alexander lucas. shank. now, speculation is rice that deal may have collapsed and wagner forces may be heading back to russia. wagner, group mercenaries, training batteries, and military personnel. just last month. that a races, ministry of defense released the footage, which claims to show the group who were alive to setup comp in the country by leader alexander lucas shank. go that came as a result of a deal. he brokered in june that put an end tour revolt against his close ally

russian president vladimir putin bite wagner mercenaries. each was launched by their leader. you have gave me pre goshen way of navea lucas. chicago has appeared to welcome wagner mercenaries being in his country. and there's a new fish on the display of which i needs met your wagner are helping us for free, even though there are mercenaries who fought and worked everywhere for money to bring us a jeweler. to be honest, yes, i want to keep them as a unit here to for their real fighters who, being through a warfare by super search, it is where, you know, but, you know, the wagner mercenaries appeared to be setting up a base and batteries the satellite images from june, purporting to show a military facility under construction, not far from the capital means, but now just a week later, there are unconfirmed reports that

a majority of the mercenaries have been kicked out of batteries by the countries leader, alexander lucas angle. we can get more from dw is read a bureau chief, uri rossetto, uri formally headed up almost good bureau until russia ordered the w to close that down. a good. see you. you're a now for weeks as being a speculation about the wagner groups whereabouts and back the rest. is there anything else that you can tell us about that was it has almost no evidence of what exactly is involved in a soul just doing it. but also in the way of they are on july 14th. however, as the minister of defense of beloved was announced that wagner pmc nurseries had arrived in the country to both of the up to 10000 men. in total administer published a footage showing training places in the morgan law for region, web team c 5. this allegedly work as instructors. and also the minister announced the joint exercises with wagner, people at the breast keep training ground near to that position boulder. okay,

now there are also rooms, but some volume of soldiers have being thrown out of bell or us. is that true? as well? we haven't seen any video or food for the footage of a potential withdrawing of talking to people. yvette is true. one of the reasons could be simple the money, even though lucas angle said we've had him and not just now, is that the wagner man with the train that he sold, useful free icons? hardly believe it, the visa on there. so that is who wants to make money? why should they work for free? but maybe there is another reason a for that's because nations, we remember that's what lucas angle staff the just a couple of weeks ago that wagner man allegedly wanted to go for a walk to a neighboring poland. i'll take a look of shame downplayed. it's as a joke, but does this job cost a lot of concerns in poland? poland is a major member and plans to stand $10000.00 soldiers to the blood was in bo this and then maybe that became too much for the question. okay. can you remind us when developing the leader you've got any progression was last seen in public,

and do we actually know where he is now? right? yes, pretty goes into the last public appearance was the end of july and was a, the sidelines of the russia office of some of the in st. petersburg. and he was pausing for a folder with one of the alleged participants there. as, as it was a audio message in which he sat to that's involved in the nursery school, didn't sign the contract with the russian army. they would move to better. it was an almost at the end of july. it was that involved in this, the recruiting stead of ground 10. most of the regional recruitment centers have stopped. they have work due to a logic. they're still the reserve for that is that is simply no need for you recruits as well. precautions. there is no future, we don't know where he is and more important. how loyal to the president boynton still isn't. how nurse the full president boynton to him is of the all or a mysterious you're a thank you so much for that. let's do, don't use read up here. i chief, you're a rush aspect. now russia has launched its 1st noun emission in

almost 50 years. the luna $25.00 mission will study the lunar surface and search for results is such as russia is aiming to be the 1st country to successfully land at the moon's south pole is competing for that distinction with india which launched its own luna mission last month and we can get more on this from dw science report as also to a bonnie, it's good to see yourself again. can you tell us what it's going to take to make to this russian mission a success as well? there are a number of factors that will make this a russian lunar 25 mission to success. so the 1st they've got to get to the moon. it's going to take a couple of days, $3.00 to $4.00 days, and they have to find that spot. they want the land around a place called the bogus love crates of the south poles and nobody's ever done. it's, it's incredibly difficult to land that that's a, in a soft landing, which means not a hard landing,

which means no crashing. but they want to investigate that pounds of the moon to find more evidence of water and the soils, and then they have to send that the data from those experiments back. so that's really what it's going to take. but i mean, you know, we often talk about why is it, but we were able to get to the moon in the sixties and seventies. why is it so difficult now? well, it's quite simple. obviously the technology has changed, but the moon has it is still incredibly dangerous place as a one outlet describing it as a human death tribe. just the other day i'm. i'm not sure what it comes down to is is based back in the sixties and seventies, we didn't really have a good cross to the risks we knew is risk of it. not how risky and then we'd love to deal with the risk. but like doing that, we've added complexity and so the mix into our solutions as create to these incredibly complex situations. and that's what is really at stake case. so there's a lot riding on. it's not just the case of going there and having a look around

a lot can still go wrong for this mission buena, 25. now india recently sent its own space craft on a similar mission. so it would probably be true to say, wouldn't it, that we're seeing an element of competition in it's definitely an element of the competition that we've had so many times with the vid, tundra on missions, israel of the tried and failed. japan has tried and failed, but of course, japan's also trying to get to the moon. there are all sorts of competitive elements here. i'm, i'm was saying, i mean, really sweet. well, so that i should mention, china is landing on the, the circle, the fall side. what we call colloquially the dock side of the moon. i'm in a sense this is the only thing but russia can do is in a case of old school one upmanship in a sense. nobody's landed a self told of the move. well, we're going to be the 1st. so if you can make that speaks to the competitiveness and it also speaks to the very same competitiveness that we sold during the cold war. i mean, the fact that it's cooling to 25 and the 20 full was the last mission to the moon

in 1976 during the cold war. i mean that speaks volumes that really all try to run pump, that same old competition. so most definitely a competition across the board here that includes the us and europe and other players as well. so thanks so much. that's the w science correspondent. so if the come up on the to the football. busy now west sweden have shocked favorites japan to to one the pallet into the semi finals having also notes out title whole does the us in the last round, the 2003 run is up, say spain in the last full. and the progression means the trophy will have 1st time . when is this, you sweden, if in the queens of the sick days of this tournament, and yet again, they close time, it can depends bucks after the free kick. and it is get school to see the work of

the sofa despite the defend aconia for sweden and japan again, couldn't deal with it. the scandinavians appealed for a humble and the 3 went to check them all on to. it was given a video review and philip, under the did the rest to pam rules. so what it is we do a split the 1st class as soon as a bad day for the 2011. when as soon as the frame of the goal again they did finally mondays, a goal for her norco i see but it was too late sweeten mot song. and as we had spain have reached the semifinals for the 1st time, they beat the netherlands in extra time. thanks to this. wonderful. so to go from

salma par away. lo, it sealed 8 to one. when a, spain become the 1st team into the last full in australia and new zealand, now they will play the windows of the japan, sweden match, which is taking place right now. and that is all we have time. full conflicts, loan is up next list him. so baskin is asking for us, your student needs business, man, and philanthropist, no e for him. if he ever loses faith in the struggle to bring peace to africa, stick around so that he can. i money keeps again and thanks for watching the
