the 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 shakeup in the ukraine in 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 article for elation. berlin and this is the day the i believe it is that this is a fair decision. the many media reports say that these ministry was

involved in corruption in the area of procurement. 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. what he wants, defense minister, their records, and a prosecute his office, let themselves these cases. welcome to the show. room or real had been searching for months. alexi resident called days of the home of ukraine's defense ministry seemed numbered already back in february when after several corruptions. scandals came to life, president zelinski launched a major crackdown against grafton. the country president call was never directly implicated buds in the ministry under worldwide scrutiny. every accusation of mismanagement when, 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 call submitted his resignation to parliament. having overseen the armed forces throughout the russian invasion. the last he has proposed the head of ukraine state property fund, bruce them are off to take over. law makers are expected to approve the appointment this week. repeat that 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 your cranes, most powerful businessman who am not a huge fortune following the dissolution of the soviet union creams 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 you create at least it used to be for the last years that have to me this huge progress, a grain as night and you in recent years, um and the low tolerance to the corruption people have and kindly 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 is ukraine's very survival. 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 same budget a either this money solely from the war effort. so a prince to just take the soldiers on the phone. fine, they did not receive necessary equipment or codes in the money to go somewhere else. but also it's a security stretch. there's uh, through those at corruption relations and the russian forces a confidence, right? they're starting to use, they can finish right intelligence ers, etc. all of this was pretty much a taboo topic during the 1st year of the warrant that the government not know or just not prioritize. corruption during the early months of the invasion calling to say it was like to put topic, but a, it was not just on the top of release the, the government and the society especially cleans as for investigative journalist.

so they were more concentrated on investigating, crushing for crimes, and a lot was happening. but since the situation come down, but it can let me get to it. this returned of the issue of corruption. it became important boss mcgee. and 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 comfortable teaching because they do spend lots of all their tax payers money on the play breakdown. yeah. where are is there when your organization observing corruption to be most pervasive at this point? is at this point most focus goes into the corruption in 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 booked 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 equalize or maybe a is so way the people equalize in their had right now. right now, the crops you a new or time you just reason, but is there a political way or politic way to say because the difference between the different

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

the anti corruption action center. thank you so much. thank you. as well on the battle sales. there are signs that in case counter offensive. lineman gaming pace, ukrainian generals claim their troops have punched through the 1st rushes, 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. a, what, excuse me, russia as defensive lines are heavily mind a new cream forces have struggled to break through that elicit our carbonell is the deputy head of the international crisis group 0 program and joins is now good to see you at a meeting today with 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 this space where ukraine is advancing more confidently. um, as i said, it's appears 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 culture 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 sacking 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 corrections and scanners, which were linked to enlistment centers and procurement problems. and it's in port saint, 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 i was going to european capitals and to dc and not being 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 kind of good 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 an investigation with russia one month after the invasion. he was part of the talks around the black sea green deals that were mentioned um with a put in allowing west ukrainian green to be expedited for a 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 our time. i'm sorry, no, no, no, it's go on. he's incorrectly and turner. he obviously wants premier back under ukrainian control. so maybe domestically and internationally. what, what signal does that send and um, 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 written lines? are we seeing him in peace talks at this point and bringing him in because of that? 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 battle being fought at the front line. so i don't think that savanski is trying to send them a message that he's ready to negotiate. so certainly not at the moment and not with the restaurant that it's not willing to come to the table. yeah. so or weekends, but it is interesting that some, some people i read it the fact that he is a crime in touch her. he's from people who were have to leave it here. sorry. i'm so sorry. that was i wouldn't like thinking just going unlisted. our car, now we'll speak again soon. thank you so much. thank you. last name is horizon

called was a key negotiator with western allies like germany. i 1st berlin was reluctant to supply weapons on one hand. that was because of germany's history on the other because of the under front of the state of its armed forces. now terminate 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 packets for military equipment, with a total of $2700000000.00 euros oil. but the delivery of that military equipment has been slow. armored fighting vehicles are key to ukraine's counter offensive. this summer germany pledged as many as 135 leopard, one battle tanks. but only 20 have been delivered. main vidal

tank such as the leopard, one belong at 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 for the models. these infantry fighting vehicles are smaller than tanks and are designed to support the efforts in battle. german artillery systems were also delivered to ukraine in 2022. to date,

berlin has supplied 14 tons, so hope it's the 2 thousands. the self propelled howard servers have a firing range of up to $72.00 monitors with specialty on your nation. they fire from behind the lines to strike enemy positions before and advance. the german model also out performs russian systems on range. precision are late and has also supplied 5 mars to multiple rocket launch systems as part of a joint delivery with the us and the u. k, air defense systems play a significant role in protecting ukraine cities from continuous barrage of russian drones and cruise marseilles. 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 faced out in germany, which means berlin has been able to deliver 46 cheetahs to help keep ukraine skies gun safe africa's 1st climate, something that has opened and county has 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 make climate change. lang, stopping and struggling for survival in hospital years of drought 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 coming livestock,

destroying crops and driving people from the homes. in somalia, where almost half the population remains hungry, the people are for the lift to release. this drought would not have happened without human driven climate change. se scientists globally temperatures of prison 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

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 us from across the continent . a hoping to encourage investment in climate solutions that africa's 1st climate summit this week. like in carbon sinks, 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, 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 prize, welcome with annual i thank you so much for joining us on dw, the 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 uganda and asked us to kind of, we, we, we actually migration to uganda and sometimes of chase gates 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 that to, in idaho diseases. but we do not understand mostly accessed, debated by the climate climate crisis. and this is again a pop up from just the last you to what's a lot lot of what time past year. but we are seeing an increase last you to, to new anymore, to caesar that we do not know. so generally it's, it's that then we're seeing from the pastors perspective, we seem christ conflict amongst communities and definitely for the funding, bro, adverb pastries. 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 voice as the voices of the people 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. racing and huge participation of the global. almost as you know, people take almost 64 percent of the i, n g of the big organizations of that. but we'd be well credited into this summit on not from africa actually from the global not. so something that we, we are questioning in terms of the space and the,

the potential that we can actually, you know, come together and collectively bills at identity by african challenges, but also bills african solutions. i think we've, without that real space where advocates of issues 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 asked which nothing decided what for the continent. so any, anything, because 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 african 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. i think as, as, as we'll say by the, the comments or the before the interviews. and the focus of this couple of the questions i think is a couple in some, it is just really, you know, opinion 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 probably the permits allow, you know, that you pay african governments to, to provide or tre, basically to sell a couple of things and couple of storage. so why don't that, that itself is not a solution. so i think it continues to be left behind. whether you know, because this, this current use of coming back if 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 us, what are you showing that is being discussed is really working against i needs. that means that it's got to be in a comfortable clean place website. 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 especially into just communities. farm is local, local, uh, local farmers and all of the people that being left behind because that's unusual and is not what they would want. this actually 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 lauren joining us as you get. the

idea from reading books to cultivation plan is less than the classroom around me is getting move on. and when i feel that i do realize that the claimant is changing, intel ready on the line for the environment and by managing waste indian
