of allegations of financial mismanagement and corruption had been plaguing the ukrainian defense ministry for while overpriced food and jackets for the troops. men arriving officials to avoid the draft the scandals a thorn and the sign of a president trying to convince his international partners of his efforts to read out graft. now the defense minister has resigned and is likely going to be succeeded by vista and marking the biggest shake up in the ukrainian government. since the start of the war president, the landscape says, new approaches are needed in the ministry signaling to his allies. that even in times of war, there is 0 tolerance for corruption. nicole fairly chamberlain, and this is the day the i believe that this is

a fair decision. many media reports say that these ministry was involved in corruption in the area of procurement. and show us if something goes wrong, you have to fix it, rebuild and change quickly. so i believe you must be held accountable for what he's done. when he was defense, administer their records and the prosecutor's office. but then some of these cases welcome to the show. room or real had been searching for a month. alexi resident called dave at the home of ukraine's defense ministry seemed numbered already back in february when after several corruptions. scandals came to life, president zalinski launched a major crack down against grafton, the country residence hall was never directly implicated buds and a ministry under worldwide scrutiny. every accusation of mismanagement was as has

a. now rising cost has announced he's stepping down after the president called for on specified new approaches and the ministry president cost submitted his resignation to parliament having overseen the armed forces throughout the russian invasion. beloved, he has proposed the head of ukraine state property fund. bruce them are off to take over. lawmakers are expected to approve the appointment this week. so you know, the defense minister sacking follows that attention of a ukrainian alo, garth over the weekend on fraud and money laundering charges ear's killing moist is one of ukraine's most powerful businessman, who mass is huge. fortune following the dissolution of the soviet union, the cranes authorities alleged, he laundered millions of dollars worth of ukrainian currency through banks. he owned, he denies the charges that the on our staff choke is the head of international relations as the anti corruption action center, a ukrainian n g o,

mostly funded by the government of the us and a member countries to join us tonight from key good to have you on the day now and tell us how big the problem is, corruption in ukraine or indeed corruption is a huge problem. and ukraine, at least to choose to be for the last few years, but have to need this huge progress, a grain as night and need in recent years. um and the low tolerance to the corruption people have. and i currently needs a full scale russian invasion of the demand to 5 corruption. that is even bigger than it used to be good for my ha, how dangerous can widespread corruption become in this fight for a few cranes very survival. it um, it, it is perceived as a threat to national security. and because the, on the one hand are especially in the current situation and the money which is

stolen or could be sold from the state budget a either this money solely from the war effort. so a, it means to just take the soldiers on the phone buying, they do not receive necessary equipment or codes. uh, if the money to go somewhere else. uh, but also its a security stretch. theres uh, through those a corruption relations and the russian horses a confidence raise their storage. they can finish right intelligence, hers, etc. all of this was pretty much a tempo topic during the 1st year of the warrant that the government not no or just not prioritized corruption. during the early months of the invasion, i wouldn't say it was like to put topic, but a, it was not just on the top of release, the both the government and decide,

especially kansas for investigating journalist. so they were more concentrated on investigating caution for crimes and loss was happening. but then the situation come down, the economic activities returned of the issue of corruption. it became important bosky and the for the government, they just responding that a popular request from the east side of ukraine and also the request of the allies who would like to have more comfortability. because we do spend lots of all their techs payers money on the play right now. we're or is it when your organization observing corruption to be most pervasive at this point? it at this point most focus goes into the corruption inc. procurement, interest goodman, on reconstruction efforts, and as with humans, all me is 2 of the defense are, were,

are leaving. most of you korean budget is concentrated. the president of the landscape wants to introduce and new law. maybe precisely looking at how corruption is perceived. not only domestically, but also by the international allies that are crucial in this war effort. and of course, the how, how damaging this can be to the goal of offending off this attack. and this law would equal corruption to treason during martial law. is that the right way to go, in your opinion? i my opinion. it's a bit but holistic way to address the issue because of their problem. corruption is not in the problem of the name. of course, it's so fancy way of equalized or maybe a is so way the people equalize in their head right now. right now that the crops you a new or time you just reason. but is there a political way of politic way to say because the difference between the different

a and the criminal offenses in the criminal code is not in the names or in the terms of a probable or in prison in prison, in terms of their differences in substance and then in the way it's investigated, we believe that you brain has competent to think option bodies that the capital of investigating corruption and the they are really doing the cook joe bridge now. so there is no need to uh, or in brand. there the, the names of a criminal offenses or 2 of you there in the age of ours to the, secure, to service a in this regard a, it's just to, uh, the government is that back and then up to forward to size of the english to gain of corruption and leave and leave it for the content bodies to gather such as of

the anti corruption actions center. thank you so much. thank you. meanwhile, on the battlefield, there are signs that in case counter offensive might be gaining pace. ukrainian generals claim their troops have punched through the 1st rush us 3 defensive wines on the southern front. now we have not been able to verify those claims. the details remain working, but they have been echoed by the pentagon and military observers. the photos you're about to see was supplying funding, increased military and a said to show a russian assault on, you know, and this on russian trenches near the russian occupied town of, excuse me, russia as defensive lines are heavily mind. ukrainian forces have struggled to break through the lives that are carbonell is the deputy head of the international crisis group 0 program and joins is now. good to see you. at a meeting today was the turkish president. letter in fulton sent the printing

counter offensive. had failed. there has been criticism of the slow pace of it. all . that criticism has been decisively rejected by a french minister of foreign affairs. what is your assessment of how it's going? yes, well this counter offensive has been much heights for 4 months before it even started . and i think it's fair to say that progress has been slower than hooked for by kids. and certainly by some of its western backers, it had a slow and super rough start with a lot of western equipment, boston ukrainian lives lost. that's because the russian defensive lines were really entrenched very heavily mine several layers deep. and so it required a pivot in a change in strategy, and now we're seeing the space where ukraine is advancing more confidently. um, as i said, its peers 1st lines of russian defences. and we're seeing it advance in the direction where you create in courses are trying to achieve

a breakthrough in order to cut off rushes language to crimea. but it's still a very slow and grinding counter offensive. it's really too early to say that it's fails, but i would be hesitant to say we're going to see the type of successes that we saw last year with capturing territory which set expectations really high. i want to get your view on the stocking of the minister of defense because it is the biggest jacob we have seen since the start of this full scale invasion. what do you think is behind his dismissal? to yeah, so um, as we heard there have been rumors of uh, swirling for quite a long time about his replacement. his reputation took a hit over these corruption send scanners, which were linked to enlistment centers and procurement problems. and it's in port st. he was never implemented in himself. in fact, he's going to take up a post as ukraine's investor to the u. k. so he isn't disappearing into obscurity.

he has been a very prominent figure and is going to european capitals and to dc lobbying for more weapons and discussing military strategy. so, you know, i think it's about a change at this particular moment and might be about fighting corruption primarily . and maybe boosting morrow at a time when the counselor defensive is, is moving forward. and that change is very likely to bring in the system or off. and what can you tell us about him as well? he's a really interesting figure. um he wasn't a private sector before coming to the government. and most recently, he was the head of a government agency that sold state assets to the private sector. and he's credited with turning that around so it could be to send this message that he's a good manager and that the ministry will be in your capable hands. he's also a skilled negotiator. he has this reputation for being one,

and he was part of the negotiations with russia one month after the invasion. he was part of the talks around the black sea greenfield that were mentioned with a put in allowing west ukrainian green to be expedited for certain amount of time through the black sea. and, you know, he's been part of prisoner exchanges. so these are, these are good signals for a, for somebody who's going to have such a prominent position in the ukraine, in government and in the fight settings engaged. but he's also interesting because he's crimea and he's a crime in time. i'm sorry, no, no, no, go on. he's in crime, liam turner. he obviously wants crimea back under ukrainian control. so maybe domestically and internationally. what, what signal does that send and we don't have much time, but maybe we can all wrap it into into one. because you say that he played a key role in these negotiations, and is that going to, to be significant for,

for what he's going to do now, are we looking at maybe, you know, the landscape shifting his rent lines? are we seeing him in peace talks at this point and bringing him in because of that to so i really don't think that's necessarily the message that the that wants to be sent with this. and this particular at a time when there is still a really hard about all being fucked at the front lines, i don't think that savanski is trying to send him a message that he's ready to negotiate. so certainly not at the moment and not with the restaurant that is not willing to come to the table. yeah. so or weekends, but it is interesting that some, some people have read it the fact that he is a crime in touch her. he's from people who were i'll have to leave it here. sorry. i'm so sorry. that was i wouldn't like thinking just going and listen to carbonell and we'll speak again soon. thank you so much. thank you. well as if it's her,

i think of was a key negotiator with western allies like germany. i 1st berlin was reluctant to supply weapons on one hand. that was because of jeremy's history on the other because of the under front of the state of its armed forces. now, germany is one of the biggest contributors of arms to the war torn country. but not everything that has been promised has been delivered. it had taken more than a year, but finally berlin was ready to get out its checkbook. the lesson, we are not using our supports. we have just decided to put together and you support package for military equipment with a total of $2700000000.00 euros oil. but the delivery of that military equipment has been slow. the armored fighting vehicles are key to ukraine's counter offensive . this summer germany pledged as many as 135 leopard, one bottle tanks. but only 20 have been delivered. main bottled

tanks, such as the leopard, one belong on the front line where they are used for close range combat and to provide fire cover for infantry. the, the model was 1st produced and then 19 sixties and has been retired in germany, but still has an edge on some of the soviet era tanks used on the russian side. last month, berlin delivered 18 newer leopard 2 tanks, which have significantly better protection maneuverability and fire power. germany has also delivered 40 models. these infantry fighting vehicles are smaller than tags and are designed to support the efforts in battle. german artillery systems were also delivered to ukraine in 2022. to date,

berlin had supplied 14 tons, the hope it's the 2 thousands. the self propelled howard services have a firing range of up to 70 kilometers with specialty munitions. they fired from behind the lines to strike enemy positions before an advance. the german model also out performs russian systems on range precision for late, and has also supplied 5 mars to multiple rocket launch systems as part of a joint delivery with the u. s. and the u. k. air defense systems play a significant role in protecting ukraine cities from the continuous barrage of russian drones and cruise, marseilles, the ukraine got the 1st of 4 iris t launchers from germany at the end of 2022. it is a medium range and for red homing surface to air system that can detect incoming

besides 250 kilometers away. the iris t munition is expensive and so the german gap hard or cheat, the air defense system is more cost effective when it comes to taking down drones. it has been phased out in germany, which means berlin has been able to deliver 46 cheetahs to help keep ukraine skies guns. se africa's 1st climate summit has opened in county. his capital nairobi, leaders from across the continent are discussing the transition to green energy production. africa is only responsible for a fraction of global emissions, but already today bears the front of the effects of human made climate change. line stopping and struggling for survival in hospital. he has of dropped in the horn of africa, his death, a state of the lives of these children and the communities they come from. water is

becoming increasingly suggest it's coming livestock, destroying crops and driving people from the homes. in somalia, what almost half the population remains hungry. the people are for this little relief. this drought would not have happened without human driven climate change. se scientists, globally temperatures have risen by 1.2 degrees celsius compared with pre industrial levels. 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 poor states were found to be 4 times higher

than in other countries. 3 is of trick stream weather events across the globe, experts of cold on debt relief to help these nations. but african states hoping to to and that's around lead us from across the continent, hoping to encourage investment in climate solutions that africa's 1st climate summit this week. like in carbon sinks, renewable energy and 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, li, just want to switch the narrative to bring in desperately needed funding. and let africa become its own salvation. in july, as a canyon politician and environmental activist who advocates for the rights of

indigenous communities, her work has been honored with the procedures. goldman environmental price. welcome with annual i thank you so much for joining us on dw, with climate change is a very real and wreaking havoc in many parts of africa already today. can you tell us more about what this means for the daily lives of the communities you work with? thank you very much for having me on the deputy tv. i think one of the biggest things that we have faced. and the last few years we've had the droughts um that really seen the family's lives that live stuck. and so that been that not just leave it losing their livelihood, but they're losing their sense of identity and culture. so it's economic call. it is culture, all it is, it's just you know who you are. the person. i think the 2nd one is just the distance as the people have to go in such a full time pastor again because we have hospitalized. but again, why we pass through the specialist, we've always been able to have

a clear model of movement. so we move from place to place, but it's a very key of migratory, patton. now wherever we move to, we find ourselves without water and without costa is forcing us to move into other countries. like you're going to ask us to kind of, we, we, we actually migration to, you've done that. and sometimes of chase yates, a lot of conflict by same time a lot of bands from the government, if they feel that we are, you know, exceeding all steve there. so that's one of the things, but also we're seeing an increase in, in, in, in the to, in idaho diseases. but we do not understand mostly accessed, debated by the crime in climate crisis. and this is again, a pop up from just the last youtube, what's a lot, lot of what time past year. but we are seeing an increase loss due to to new anymore diseases. we do not know. so generally it's, it's that then we're seeing from the pastors perspective, we seem just conflict amongst communities and definitely for the finding bro, i'm a pastor this we're seeing, you know, had an inability to produce trumps even when,

you know, given some seeds, but just to sustain it you can plug, but really nothing comes off of the ground. so are envisioned as the voices, the voices of the people, the suffering of all of these things that you just described are the present at the summit. and i robi, this is a relative participation, but again, it's one thing to get a credit taishan to get into the summit. but it's another one to really, you know, have your voice at the center of it. i think one of the biggest challenges we have said that says that's why this is an african agenda. the participation of african institutions that african voice is very minimal missing and huge participation of the level. almost as you know, the will take almost 64 percent of the i n g of the big organizations of that we'd be well credited into this summit on not from africa actually from the global law. so something that we, we have questionnaire in terms of the space and the,

the potential that we can actually, you know, come together collectively, bills at identity by african challenges, but also bills african solutions. i think we've, without that real space where advocates vicious can be built by advocates for it because it creates a situation where we get a series of property, you know, the solutions given to ask which north assigned to work for the continents. so anyway, i've already said that that is, you're not being heard at the summit. i, in my personal opinion, i do not think this, i mean, or, you know, has the real advocate agenda. so your natural sense, you can't, you kind of create a problem and come back and be possible, you know, be the one shaping the solutions to the, to, to, you know, to the problem. while my participation as an african is very minimal. so i do not feel that our voices as not only as africans, but as indigenous people as being high to the summit. okay, so how can these kinds of events be better? how can they include indigenous voices, listen to them,

and shape solutions that are actually tailored to via acute means that are there right now, a lot will emerge in the future, as i think is as, as we'll say by the, the comments or the before the, the interviews and the focus of this couple of the questions got to get a couple in some it is just really in our opinion, i looking for a couple of things and cover the storage, which allows a lot of european american oil companies to continue continue to use with the pot with a permits allow, you know, that you pay a applicant, governments to, to provide or trade basically to sell a couple of things and covered storage. so why don't, but that itself is not a solution. so i think it continues to be left behind where the, you know, because this, this current use of coming back as a couple of things is really, as we know it, it, it doesn't necessarily address the, the pollution issue, or at least the needs to walk away from,

from fossil fuels and so that's one of the things. and so as, as indigenous people, the fact that the, what's his breath on the table as a solution that is being discussed is really working against i needs. that means that it's got to be the comfortable clean place, but say, what is the problem and how do we collectively start to address the problem? and because the, the says the, the issue has always been seen as we need to use a couple of things as climate fine then. and then it leaves communities, his expression introduced communities. farm is local, local, local farmers, and all of the people that being left behind because that's unusual and is not what they would want. this action is really much different for, for a lot of this community is along the line. thank you so much for your time. and your insight thank and that is our time, but we'll be back tomorrow with morning showing us that you get the

new techniques for wildlife reservation channel water simple to use to unlock bio diversity. dna. how can a i to use to figure out the secret lives of animals in biochemistry? explain why some creatures low in the dark blue. these new research methods revolutionize our way of thinking tomorrow today. next
