to set that they will waive the taxes for improved properties that were destroyed during the station. but now again that's, you know, for, for the future there's not line as of for right now. you know what's gonna happen with the people after this 30 days, and the hotels. thank you so much. you have is punchy while you're in hawaii. we appreciate it. thank you. and canada is worst fire season on record shows no sign of easing. meanwhile, with more than a 1000 blazes burning across the country, some of the largest are in the far north where fires are closing in the city of yellow. nice. authorities have ordered the cities complete evacuation. all 20000 are raising to meet a deadline to leave by noon on friday. as this is what people say says they leave the city of yellow knife. thousands are rushing to escape the approaching flames. when many a racing to get out by car,

hundreds are still waiting to be of actuated. authorities are air lifting the most vulnerable, one neighboring provinces, prepare to accommodate many of the displaced. this is a time when communities step up to help others. and we stand by those in need in the stressful and no doubt scary, no. more than a 1000 active fires are burning across canada. more than half of them out of control. it's the worst was fire season on record. northwest provinces are bracing for the situation to worse and we are expecting significant growth. and we are expecting our resources to be challenged from north to south in the province over the next 48 hours. in the region of yellow knife over 200 fires are still active. without rain, the flames are likely to reach the city outskirts over the weekend. fuser growing

that strong winds could push the fire close to the highway out of the city, blocking the only way out on land stand. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. firefighters on the spanish island of tennessee say are battling a huge wildfire burning out of control. a play spans 41 kilometers and has forced more than 3000 people to evacuate their homes. authorities, fear, winds, and higher temperatures. forecast for the weekend could fan the flames. a powerful earthquake has struck columbia's capital bulk of time, forcing residents to evacuate offices homes and hospitals. colombia is congress building was damaged and the quaker civil defense officials are assessing the damage so far no casualties have been reported. the chinese real estate china ever ground a has filed for bankruptcy protection in the united states. the move allows the

heavily indebted company to protect it to us assets, while it attempts to restructure the company which has accumulated more than $300000000000.00 and liabilities defaulted on debt repayments, in 2021, sparking china is growing property crisis military chiefs from the west african echo west block are holding their 2nd day of talks and gone up to respond to the crew. in the share, the meeting is intended to coordinate a potential armed intervention. but 3 weeks after new shares president was overthrown. the qu, leaders have defied repeated demand superstore, democracy with economic sanctions already in place, echo was, is running short of further options. of course, military leaders are facing a dilemma. use force and risk crease, the instability or back off and allow another west african nation to be under

miller. people the block, the does have once again emphasized that on the dimension in the chair is a last resort. let's do one be in the every phase, the beauty and forces, both with stuff that moved the military on disobedience components are ready to sub, to the portable beauty of the level constitutional saw this meeting to be best testimony to the but when and how west applicant troops could intervene, remains unclear, new jersey one has already ignored an echo, and was deadline to restore democracy. meanwhile, the allstate, president mohammed by zoom and his family are under house arrest in the capital in

the army. eco was have called on the pool leaders to release the president, yet another demand rejected by new jersey, new rulers. and for the image, i'll use the web page that precedent. no one. and let me know whether it was after 5 you see i have state is not only the future of new jersey and democracy, but also the credibility of echo was on the block is running out of time and options for historical and seduce new order in new jersey and dw correspondent elisa tacoma is following this story for us from lake goes. and i asked him if echo was really ready for a military intervention in this year. well, sarah, from all likelihood, it looks like odd, they seem to be ready,

but at least that's the reason for this to day meeting in the crowd a gun. that is, somebody thought i'm going to achieve stuff on the echo as a book about 11 of them, a solution of the likes of getting these a, uh, book, an oppressor and that a k bed. so we've had that thoughts about the setup of a stabilization support mission. and also that this meets in be a meeting to discuss resources, numbers, and operational procedures. everything is being ready. it's a case of uh when i'm how it's going to happen. so it seems that from this joint you've sites i'm so far from where they spend everything is ready post some sort of ministry at 10 submitted to adventure, into new se i visa, visa negotiations. going on this side or not, with the echo as the block itself. so i mentioned eventually on possibly might be happening based on these meetings that is happening uh for the ac was that she's, that is the 2nd day, but we also have to talk about this, the cetera. importantly,

the a, you to african union, we get to get to a full declaration of a statement from the african union if there will be supporting the use of force by echo us. and how about the sanctions that i for was imposed on the share after the to what effect are they having do we know as well it says seriously comic effects on the everyday new gerry inside the capital new yeah . i mean and different parts of the country and then forget this is one of a apple race conscious into well now these are legit to being caught off on neighboring nigeria, which produces it about 70 percent of the nature of the needs a consumption electricity desk. so that's a big blow to the people. it's also about economic blockades of, uh, uh, trucks and good stuff on the borders of nigeria again, and also i've been inserted people not feeling it. so how about pressure that is putting on the new jerry and june to lead us to step down? that is the big question. if this economic sanctions are enough, and that's why add the eco, why he's also having this, somebody 3 interventions as the last results and what other options are there,

you know, for eco us and also other um, you know, country is an international partners that are trying to pressure the clean leaders in these air to reverse the code, to restore the elective government westside. the options seem to be dwindling as the days go by. don't forget it was july 26 that they submitted to june. that's it. that's basically it took over and that held hostage of mohammed visits. and since then it looks like the june tech continues to a mess. it's and trench itself by, you know, into pa government a galvanizing so most of what locally. so echo as i wrote in as of time with that time, but in house move, the options are also dwindling to the w correspondent, lisa tacoma in lagos. thank you. and it's been more than a year since pakistan was devastated by mass of flooding. more than $1700.00 people died and millions of homes were destroyed during last summer's inundation,

which covered up to a 3rd of the country at its peak. now a year later, some parts of pakistan are still badly affected. many people are living and makes at homes. financial pledges from abroad have come up short. 8 organizations estimate that up to 20000000 people are still in need of support. the head of the when has called the floods, the biggest example of climate change us. and with me here in the studio, we see that the reporter being a chavo just to give us some more insight. i mean you've, you've been covering this since the very beginning, reflecting on the floods one year later. how's the current situation right now? start off boxed on, it's been thinking that it is, in fact if song that are still under water and reported the see that's slots of 2022 formed licks that were so huge that it would take years to evaporate. that for to and no amount of

a new technology or more machinery can dream. dr. walked off and imagine that one was 2000000 people are spitting moving along side spectrum. in fact, what i'm because millions of acres of equity go to the land was damaged. so lots of 2020 to contributed in one of the worst economic crisis buckets on has seen in yes . so when you put this into context, what was the biggest effect? would you say? what has had the biggest impact? i think the flats are spinning destroying lights. that has been the recent report that says that 40 percent of the children in the flat affected area guys have stunted cool with young my does and them and are becoming more free dry and weak because they do not have access to food and to health care and you can say, is that nearly $20000000.00 people even now and focused on need to mind and they didn't assistance, but the 1st step to fix that to be no, it's really difficult to assess the psychological impact. the flats hide on people

. imagine women living under the stomach traditions inside their homes, all of a sudden the what on gods and gums with very little privacy, with thousands of schools steinmetz ginger, las to support network. so basically the buckets on which are for 6 months, most populous country. and it's less than one percent of the open emissions, but the people of the country are still bidding the brunt of the consequences of time of change. and how is the government handling all of that? because i'm, you know, as you've mentioned there, it's, there has really been quite the fallout. how have the authorities been picking up the pieces or helping people to do so? i think that different alone, of course, cannot manage this huge disaster. but focus on see if that it and guard losses of $30000000000.00 us dollars. it's asking for it. $16000000000.00 us dollars are to be paid. lock this down and to be built up like this on has to be climate resilience infrastructure, which is very expensive. so for $1.00 of usually

a construction focused on needs $4.00 for constructing time, which is the infrastructure because focus on we keep getting a extreme that, that events assign scientific studies have proven that. and that is one reason why pockets and forced forth and often damage for that. think about the loss and damage fund and cop 27 da steel. an as the world is approaching toward scope. 28. ok if, and it's asking that finding mine a conference, you know you one time in the conference at some, not a single payment has been disposed from the last and damage fund. the now and focusing is also asking and reminding the rich countries of the pleasures of $100000000000.00. the meeting got $15.00 to cost in 2009 that they would start disbursing 100000000 dollars each year to poor countries. after 2020 dot pledge has also not been made and the $100000000.00 sounds like a big figure for thought. that's what all of what the rich countries be to fossil fuel companies each year. so in other words, so much work to be done and pakistan,

acknowledging that it can't do it alone, but it needs international partners to help the w report or, you know, stuff at bringing us up to date. thank you so much. i smell for a look at some of the latest developments related to the war in ukraine. germany is set to by the advanced arrow, 3 missile defense system from israel following us approval of the sale. the system is capable of intercepting high altitude missiles. germany wants to roll out a sky sealed similar to israel's iron dome in response to russia's invasion of ukraine. russian and chinese, more ships are taking part in joint maritime patrols in the pacific ocean. officials say that the drills include training for rescues and countering airstrikes. moscow and beijing have wrapped up by lateral defense cooperation and recent months, carrying out a joint air patrol over the sea of japan and the east china sea last month. russian

officials say that a ukrainian drone has caused damage to a building in central moscow. they say to free from the drone shot down by russian air defenses landed in the cities expo center complex. in the early hours friday, the incident temporarily disrupted air traffic at all of moscow. civilian airports . in the us has approved a request by denmark and the netherlands to saint f. 16 fighter jets ukraine, us secretary of state anthony blinking said the transfer could go ahead. once you printing and pilots have completed their training, you printing and officials now don't expect to be able to deploy the aircraft a for the end of the year. despite keeps claim that they would be a game changer and it's counter offensive against russian forces. and let's go now to frank led vague. he is a senior lecturer at of in strategic studies at portsmouth university as a former

u. k. military intelligence officer. thank you so much for joining us here on dw news it. so we just heard there, it looks like you crane is finally getting the f 16 fighter jets that it's been asking for. how big a difference to you think that this move could make for ukraine on the battlefield? good morning. so the answer is none of this. yeah, this is a question really of expectation management. it's not going to be a game changer. you credit is may have a score to an operational service, which is to say on the line probably by march or so next, you know, bill best falls throughout 2024. so if everything goes well, so it won't make any changes. it's another method in our arsenal and an effective one, but it will make no significant change in the overall operational situation until late next year with the others. okay, and in the meantime, i like to ask if you can address what is currently happening,

what we're currently seeing. because according to reporting by the washington post, the us intelligence community has revised it's assessment of ukraine's counter offensive, saying that it now believes keith will fail to reach it's key goal. i'm wondering what you make of that when you have been seeing, you know, what's been coming out of the current counter offensive and whether you might share about assessments. yes, i was very interested in the us intelligence world has been sadly realistic since the start the military intelligence. what about his blackboard general might be that cheapest stuff and i agree in so far as we can identify what the planning object is, what we didn't know that we don't know should wait. it looks as if what they're saying is ukraine's will reach multiple on one of the main axes of advance. and i think it's got to say that they want ukraine's been pretty badly. so i think by advice from certain parts of the west, in terms of media, that jet rules, i've always been pretty clear that this is going to take

a long time. that is that what's to me? this is going to be a series of blows over a long period of time. the problem is going to about perspective. i suppose a lot of people can save you the big, quite nearby christmas region. and one case by the end of august i want, this is more of the 1st world war and the 1st go for it's bytes and hold and really difficult. it's hard and it was a request to teach patients. i'm wondering if you can perhaps share your opinion right down an in your assessment cuz me we, we always hear the ukrainians asking for more equipment from the west, from their partners and your assessment. what more does ukraine need right now? you know, not in 2024, but what, what does it need right now in order to make a more effective gains? munitions ordinarily, that's what they will site. i mean, this is not the addition of the addition. and then they're also the connective. so things that we don't think about, they need transport, they need logistics,

equipment, they need the less glamorous stuff, of course, um are, is great but to the fact the findings have plenty of da said right now it's not very useful on the line. and above all, i take what they say, we need mind cleaning equipment expertise and a lot of ideas about how they're going to break through these huge mine fields and defenses. i think that's what the opinions of say now. frank led to the senior lecturer and strategic studies at portsmouth university and a former u. k. met military intelligence officer. thank you so much for joining us to share that expertise and assessment. thank is a newborn, just like a season starts a fresh in a matter of hours with a brand new thread to a familiar story line. how will buyer and unix latest acquisition, england's captain harry came effects their chances of winning? yet other title or cane is expected to be named in the starting, loving as the bavarian, to open their season against their brand. to this point in these cree,

harry county has good goals just as reliably as buying has won the gym and league. it's a match made in heaven to bind fans that could be held to everyone else hoping by and when a 12 consecutive time got some great change initially. and it's going to be a real challenge, you know, an expense time unit just to, to will who i am and when the lady it. but i've seen as you've seen, the teams are improve and honestly and tougher and tougher. so uh, it's a challenge every season and for me it's just about sets in as comfortable as possible. understanding the different types of teams, the way i have to plan it, that it's only been a week since you're brought to the cost of 100000000 euros. it will only be a month before his wife is expected to bear a 4th child and as warm as the bulk them has been for all of them. it won't be long before he is expected to deliver the goal. it's better inpatient me. i'm impatient and i'm very, very positive that to,

to have an immediate effect. because my, my 1st impressions of harry are fantastic. is a top professional. the quality is outstanding and sometimes to human being. he is a very openings for us on the training page. he is open in the dressing room. i think he has the media defect in the dressing room with his personality, with his approach to football, his love for the game. it's only just begun that the success of this relationship between staff, blanket and manager, could be decisive as to which team holds the trophy at the end of the season. you're watching dw news. a quick reminder of our top story now is emergency chief has resigned, siding health reasons. his agency was facing criticism for its fire. disaster management, 111. people have now been confirmed dead in the place. all hundreds remain missing and wild fires are closing in on the city of yellow,

nice and kind of as far north. all 20000 residents are racing to leave. after authorities for the city is complete. evacuation by noon on friday. next, the globalization show level us looking at ways that people might have to adapt to climate, to stay with us. the

what can be done in times of climate change. can we adapt and more importantly, can we even stop it? we look to brazil believes in south africa to ideas that hope to defy climate change. global us on the w growing up in mongolia. oscar

6 months later, the occupation was hard. how can life go on after all the terror? not everyone can do where the fear we felt every day. when russia comes starts august 25th on dw, the it's really euro be serving their money. halting funds turn to do quite a lot. tackling coastal erosion villages in belize are trying to keep an entire ocean a day resisting the flames. new construction methods aimed to prevent further damage and take terms tension.
