potential. and in bonus they give football lights. they can their new signings make like work of when you're in berlin, ending the capital clubs, impressive, fun beach and home record in the process. all the goals and more coming up and support the hello, i'm terry martin. thanks for joining ukraine's president. brought me is. landscape says he's replacing the country's defense ministers citing the need for new approaches within the ministry. alexa resnick hall, who has held the position, says 2021 is being removed from office a year and a half into rushes invasion. polanski said the resident cough will be replaced by the head of ukraine state property fund. rest of whom are all of the change of defense minister is expected to be approved by parliament this week is the fund
11:02 am
here's what's the last you had to say about it in his address last night. a yeah, way to so far was does. i mean the means i've decided to replace the minister of defense of ukraine. so what like, seriously, coughing has been through more than 550 days, a full scale war size for me. i believe that the ministry needs new approaches and other formats of interaction with both the military and society of large diesel tool. short while ago i spoke to our correspond max turned in key. i asked him about sa landscapes reasons for replacing who's defense minister. right, terry, so alexia definitely called has been in charge of the ministry of defense since 2021. so he's has been here for the entire duration of russians, full scale and invasion. and as such, he has played an important role. for example, when it comes to the procurement of western weapons or when it comes to link the groundwork for a potential future nato membership. but at the same time, under, under his leadership, the ministry of defense was shaken by
11:03 am
a number of corruption scandals. and one instance, a contract came under scrutiny in which the ministry had procured food items for soldiers at $2.00 to $3.00 times the market price. then there was another prominent case where the ministry of defense procured the winter uniforms for its soldiers from a business and turkey that turned out to be low quality. summer uniforms began at inflated prices. so the official, somewhere in the ministry. what happened, profiting from this, the minister himself was never directly tied to any of this, but it certainly left a mark on his leadership. so didn't really kind of surprised that zalinski presence lensky last night made that announcement that he would be replaced. and this is seen as a wider attempt to drive out corruption within the ukrainian governments and preparation for a potential b u membership. talk to his max about risen, it costs likely success or risk on whom are all. who is he?
11:04 am
all right, so i present sensitivity analysis. you would ask for a simple letter of to take over. he is a 41 year old crime you and talk to her. and if a former lawmaker himself, at the beginning of the full scale invasion, he was part of a delegation in charge of negotiations with russian representatives. at the moment he is the head of the countries main privatization from the body that is in charge of transferring state assets to, to, to private hand. and this privatization fund prior to um, to let us take over, had been embroiled with heavy corruption. so hopes are that she would be able to, to solve the issue as he did in his career position within the, the, the ministry of defense. and in addition to that, so i can tell you that he appears to have major political backing at the moment he's has, he's enjoying political support by all the liberal and pro european parties in the
11:05 am
training problem. and so his approval is very likely to have a way to make up the timing of this move max with ukraine in the middle of its counter offensive. right, so once he's approved by or once, once the change in leadership is approved by the ukrainian problem and this will be the highest level turn over since the beginning of a full scale invasion. of course, there are critics that are saying this is a very risky maneuver while ukraine is conducting a major counter offensive operation at the moment. but according to experts, this is not going to have any large effect on what's happening on the ground because the defense minister overseas, these military reactions. but they are essentially carried out by the, by, by the generals, by the military leadership. and as far as we know, at the moment, it seems that they are not not being influenced by others. thanks. thank you very
11:06 am

11:07 am
from across the continental gathering to discuss the transition to green energy and to layoff priorities for the next global climate conference. later this year, africa is responsible for less than 4 percent of global emissions, but there's the brunt of the effects of climate change warning. some viewers may find images in this next report. distressing. lang, stopping and struggling for survival in hospital use of drugs in the horn of africa has devastated the lives of these children. and the communities they come from. water is becoming increasingly suggest it's killing livestock, destroying crops and driving people from the homes. in somalia, where almost half the population remains hungry, the people are for that little relief. this drought would not have happened without human driven climate change, say scientists. globally, temperatures have risen by 1.2 degrees celsius compared with pre industrial levels
11:08 am
. and africa is one of the fastest woman confidence. as for sponsible, for less than 4 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions annually. more than full time is less than europe. africa is being disproportionately affected by climate change that's coming largely in the form of extreme heat, but also in heavy rain and flooding. financial losses in some of africa's poorer states were found to be 4 times higher than in other countries. 3 years after extreme weather events across the globe, exports of cold on debt relief to help these nations but african states hoping to to and that's around lead just from across the continent, hoping to encourage investment employment solutions that are for cause 1st climate summit this week like in carbon sinks,
11:09 am
renewable energy of mineral resources essential for green transition. kenya is already a sustainability liter sourcing around 90 percent of its electricity from renewables. rather than being seen, just as victims of global warming lead, just want to switch the narrative to bring in desperately needed funding. and let africa become it's own salvation. the w as east africa bureau chief mariel mila is covering this summit in nairobi. i asked her what african nations there are hoping to accomplish. yes, so here more than $30000.00 delegates have arrived at the summit and there will be among them around $25.00 african has of states. and the organizers csc, the summit as an opportunity for african nations to come together to form a unified african position ahead of the call 28th climate summit. later this year
11:10 am
canyon president william realtor has actually made clear that africa needs to be more proactive when it comes to offering climate solutions. not only be seen as the victim, but actually be seen part of the solution. and as it was already mentioned in the report, kenya is anita here on the continent, a role model and also worldwide as 93 percent of its power is actually coming from the renewable energies. so yeah, organize us, you hope a very optimistic and they hope for deals with hundreds of millions of dollars to be concluded here in the next few days. so the focus is very much on solutions. a talk to us mariel about what the climate change actually means for africa and why this summit is so important. so the african continent is the continent that is most effective by climate change impact while only contributing 3 percent of global carbon emissions. also, african nations have only seen 12 percent of the finance they need in order to be
11:11 am
able to cope with these impacts. i mean, if you look at countries such as a maya of people that are suffering, it's the worst route and for decades in the r, c and democratic republic of congo. rep 400 people have died this year in floods or also in 2019, when cycling you die killed more than a 1000 people in most i'm beach. people that didn't know that side on was coming. there was no forecast. there was no warning system. also, that's psyched on cost a was a huge cost for the communities and for the government around $1900000000.00 us dollars. and the experts actually estimates that by 2050 climate change will cost african nations around $50000000000.00 us dollars every year. that's a huge amount of money, of course. so here african nations, look, we'll talk, missed it for investments and funding because of course, as an investor, why would you invest when there is no forecast system on the whole continent of
11:12 am
africa, they're only around 37 uh radar facilities that are actually able to attract whether it's a competitive with europe, there are around $345.00. so that is a huge difference, as you can see. and of course, as an investor, why would you invest in small holder farmers if you don't know if the crop will still be there the next day or washed away by floods. now in the run up to the summit, many climate activists and, and n g a is made it clear what they want from this summit. tell us more about their demands or so there are around $500.00 a civil society organizations that have called for a reset of the climate agenda. they say that this, these partnerships that are being endorsed on the summit. and it makes clear that companies from the global north actually endorsed to just keep a usable business as usual. and so to extract african resources for african
11:13 am
minerals without creating any added value here on the continent where it's needed. these young people, climate activist climates, social groups, civil society members, they want to see a real green energy revolution that deserves that name. and they want to see african communities benefiting from it. all right, well thank you very much. that was dw is mariel miller in i robi, covering the 1st africa climate summit. now some sports and inputs just like a football r b live se scored 3 times and the 2nd half to be 10 man. when young berlin, 3 meal in a match between 2 champions league teams live 6 victory was all the more impressive as have ended on your owns 24, much on beat and run at home in the league as hobby lied sick of how to rebuild this summer. off to the departure of key players, and it was one of the new arrivals who gave them the lead soon off to half time.
