the, the, this is the w news live from berlin. russell book set to ask north korea for weapons. us media say that north korean leader kim jong on. we'll travel to russia for talks with vladimir. pretend. the 2 countries have so far denied that any north korean arms have been used in the bushes war against ukraine. still coming up for my grand votes, leaving tanisha, we need a band prepared to risk his life to travel to europe and a smuggler set to profit from the dangerous journey. and the african leaders gather

in nairobi for a summit aimed at fighting climate change. we look at health, kenya is already leading way by generating most of the power renewables, the sierra kelly, welcome to the program. the one says that north korean leader kim jong and plans to travel to russia for a meeting with president vladimir putin to discuss providing moscow with weapons. moscow says it cannot confirm the reports. us media said that the visit could take place within a month, citing unnamed officials. the parent met less in 2019. the young gang and moscow have both previously denied that north korea is providing russia with supplies for it's for and ukraine. western officials say that both moscow and keys are burning through huge and house of munitions as the war enters its 19 months.

the w 0 or shadow is covering this joy from re good, as dw is banned from reporting and russia. we asked him how likely it is that putting will indeed get what he wants? well, it should be indeed because the 2nd meeting between the 2 petitions. uh, since 2019 and the just like in 20. 19. uh, put in in king don't own i supposed to meet in the lobby most talk to you. we're in the east on economic forum. valuable stock is located on the pacific coast near the border with north korea. but all of the media reports say it's too unclear, where exactly is the both lead us could meet with a lot of us talk or maybe even in moscow. so however you set it as a kremlin declined to confirm this meeting, so 5, but that's nothing unusual. as for north korea's potential weapons deliveries to russia, we have a reports from the us national security council that russians defense minister

segregation ago. i would have tried to convince young young to sell artillery by the nation to russia during he's a recent visit in north korea in july, assumed for then a president put an end came john own have reportedly exchanged. let us pledging to increase is anna bilateral called duration. so if that's true, maybe next week, during the talks, put them in teams on own coat. indeed discuss potential supply of artillery shells and onto the tanks. miss house, according to the s national security council, north korea last year, despite the denials supplies already in this house, the russians, a private arm involved. and that brought to that uh, as i said, reports from that. yes. okay. so that i will of course, not confirmed by the kremlin and from the north korean perspective, it's likely um that what kim john own might want from russia is food and advance weapons technology. is that likely something that russia is willing to provide or?

well look at russia obviously doesn't wants to add to the will any time soon as there is nothing to suggest to that hosting that is between your grade. and joshua will anthony dice, whom i, yesterday we had had a very aggressive tone from president putin. one meeting with doug as present add on, i put in seems to be boy against the grant as the boy against the best, at least that's what the visa boys portrayed is asking media. so moscow obviously wants to keep fighting and for that, it certainly needs small weapons because of the best also wants to keep of supplying ukraine with weapons. and if russia and north korea are indeed negotiating of a supply of weapons, moscow would in turn supply for 8 and the advance technologist for satellites and euklel submarines in july, once again. russian defense minister, if i go visit the north korea, that 3 boss seen by the s intelligence as preparation for adults, that's good place. could take place next week, maybe in the body of us the most. com you or your shadow enrica. thank you. or

and let's have a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. ukraine's president following their zaleski, has met with soldiers on the front line of don't ask. the eastern area has been the scene of some of the heaviest fighting since rushes invasion. the visit comes a day after is lensky announced a substantial shake off to ukraine's military establishment, saying he was replacing the defense minister. the multitude program is cutting food aid to another $2000000.00 afghans, citing a massive a short fall and funding. that means that a total of $10000000.00 afghans are now cut off from the support. the u. n. is raising the alarm of our shrinking aid to afghanistan, warning of a catastrophe. if things do not change. typhoon hick way has made land fall and se china. the heavy rains and floods to merge the vast areas of agricultural land. thousands have been evacuated from their homes. schools remain

closed in some areas. authority say 5 people who were on board a fire truck are missing after it plunged into a river. in the mediterranean, the number of migrant crossings to europe is higher than it has been in years so far this year and more than 140000 people have survived to the perilous journey. an unknown number have died. one hot spot country for departures is tunisia. from there, the journey usually goes to the islands of love to do so or sicily. the has pledged hundreds of millions of yours to help the canadian government stopped people from making the crossing, but so far without much affect the w xian. philip schultz and my book yacht tidier report now from sax and to nisha, which is that the frontline of my friends are partners no routinely while the has been fishing out of this harbor near sucks for more than 20 years. he says things change this spring. that's when they started seeing boats full of people heading for europe. when the weather is bad,

the fishermen try to warrant them to turn back. but he says they hardly ever do. as a guy get them, we keep finding bodies in the sea. they get tangled in our fishing nets, but we call the coast to god when that happens, unless people, yukon, who i talked about, it is also a lot of the staff people just like us to be 799 with this. someone had to you. most of the people who tried to cross the mediterranean to get to europe said all from this region more than 2000 people are known to have died in the attempt. sometimes local authorities have trouble collecting all the bodies that wash up on the beach. along the coast, thousands of people wait for their place on a boat so, so it's suddenly just from booking a file so he knows how dangerous it is. but says he's determined to try to get to europe. he says he's good at repairing electrical appliances. seems fishy,

my only hope is to get across the sea to your well, i'm doing everything for my mom be the so i want her to be a bit happy for the 1st time and her life in boot point. uh, that's how the when boats sink the coast guard often bring survivors to this hospital. doctor robbie, dolly says recently, it's felt like a war zone. when it was you uh, faded, we simply get too many people coming at once. but we don't have enough doctors and nurses to take care of everyone, so we are short of everything, the medicines and equipment on this new little money. it's more than we can manage this for those whose plans are still intact. the focus is on preparation and securing a spot on a boat. the smuggler networks which stretch across the region have arrived here in fox. one smuggler is prepared to talk to us as long as we don't film his face. and a ton of people, when i only do the job to make money,

right. and everyone wants to make lots of money home. if we take the migrants to europe, what they do next is up to them. often they'll squeeze 40 people into a small boat trip like that would earn them around $40000.00 heroes. they're not the only ones profiting. i need to ship it. now i'm a $1000.00 people control the whole beach area. okay, so i know some of our guys have direct connections with the retail security forces . i'm done with this that be the, the, the, some of the best they will tell us when it's safe for a crossing. is we pay up to $10000.00 euros for the service, but if you have, what is it you don't really see me to? so suit doesn't care who profits from his trip. he still has to earn a few 100 heroes with all the jobs and sucks. then they'll have enough to get on a boat and take his chances and i spoke with you that he

is christine one. why and brussels and asked her how the use deal with tunisia and at stopping illegal migration is shaping up. sarah, in the research as to music, has become a real focal point. as you saw in, in, in the report say, we're migraine. so taking off to head to europe and so you need as have directed some 1000000000 euros in the memorandum of understanding the idea being to really help this and dizzy in officials cracked down on the criminal games and the smoking network space. so some of the deal was struck with the new share a few years ago. and what that really entailed was empowering security forces on the ground to stop people making those crossing, ceasing the assets, these pickup trucks, and then other assets that the criminal gangs used to facilitate these crossings. really breaking down those networks and also e u money going to people who has been working in the sped smoking business, compensating them and encouraging them to pursue other business benches because it

is of course, a very lucrative business as we understanding and to busy right now. it's even cheaper for migraines to, to pay for a crossing because they are just so many smuggling networks offering this service. so this deal from the european perspective were works really well because i pointed out the initiate agreement. if you do see a decrease in those numbers, so it's effective from that front end. if you listen to the time in 5 minutes to, for example, she says this is the way to do it because of go to the hot spots stripe deal, stay and stop people from making their way to here because they're not able to agree on what to do with people once they get to your but of course rights groups will points out that these deals have been struck with countries that have a, let's just say difficult criminal rick, human rights records. and so they remain controversial in that sense. and how about other options, christine? i mean, it's effort to curb a legal migration. does you have any other alternatives, other than to pay to nisha and turkey told my friends back or well in

june, but your opinion came as the boy took a step closer to agreeing on a migration deal. this has been a very contentious issue. the european union member states have not been able to agree on how to deal with migration. so what do you have is you have the reception countries, the board of countries, these are you, it's an easier research who say they are overwhelmed with the food and then that they want to be able to share migrants within the block. of course you put in countries, countries that are further up north who don't want to take people, so they struck some kind of a compromise. it's not, you've been fully agreed upon, but it's suggest only proposed is that countries that don't want to take on the shape of the burden. so to say, quote unquote that they would have to pay something close to $20000.00 your per migrant. that they don't want to take. so this is not something that they've quite agreed on even that is contentious, but this is the challenge. and this is why you hear voices from like your georgia below needs apartments. so it should be saying, we're struggling to reach consensus here. let's go to the countries we the problem

is and let's deal with the challenge from where it is that christine went white and brussels. thank you. you're watching the w new soul to come on the program german chancellor. all actual has a new look after a running accident and as expected, the internet won't let him get away with it. at 1st, the association of southeast asian nations are off on, has urged me on mars military, junta and other stakeholders to de escalate violence and stop targeting attacks on civilians leaders of all see on our meeting in jakarta, the regional block aims to promote economic security cooperation among its 10 members, but the group has struggled to find a united stance on myanmar which has been embroiled in violence and since the military crew in 2021 use asia pacific bureau chief day of mattresses in jakarta. i asked him if we can expect to see any progress on the

crisis in myanmar. i think 1st of all, we should make clear that indonesia was really active and determined to see some progress here pursuing a so called a silent diplomacy. and the championship of, of, of the, on, over the past the 9 month presidential could be total made clear that there were $145.00 engagement with 70 stakeholders. but where there was no progress was with the military should talk and so on. always will be interesting to see, to what extent awesome can really seats to go higher. so the pressure on myanmar and that's a, mainly i would say, depend on thailand, which now no longer has a pro military government. but the 2nd largest opposition party is now in the seat of power. so it will be interesting to see in the next couple of months how this will shift. thanks. china is also high on the agenda with beijing's efforts to force its claims to most much of the south china sea, causing tension. how is the auction block likely to respond fair

here, try not just published a new map where they basically claim the entirety of the assaults trying to see something that didn't go down exactly really well with the laser of the, or the philippines. so a lot of resistance from these countries when it comes to china, i've had, is always careful because china is a huge my country that is investing you to nomic lee in this part of the world. but they are also determined to stick together when it comes to the territorial conflicts. and so they are pursuing a mutual strategy for a code of conduct. but this is something for the long term. and the nation german ship made clear they are altogether, when they, when it comes to this code of conduct to pursue this policy. the auction block very important to united states that has a robust trade and investment relationship with these 10 nations. and yet precedent by it and is skipping this meeting, why the hey,

is not the for us the american president to ask if an as yeah, meeting to be clear. and i would say it for the u. s. still, uh, as young remains the key partner in this part of the world in southeast asia, particularly if you look at the rivalry with china, that the rivalry for influence of the territory. i'll leave it to you politically. but also you can obviously in southeast asia and there's a few signs that uh for the us as the and it's still important, for instance, a hosted a meeting in washington. and also a president biden will after the g 20 meeting visit vietnam, when he comes to this part of the girls, dw asia pacific bureau chief care of mathis. thank you. and here are some other stories making news around the world. in brief, at least one person has been killed due to heavy rains and flooding. hundreds of drivers got trapped in their cars and many areas are facing power outages. after around 10 hours of thunderstorms into

a rental brain. the organizers of the burning man, music and arts festival in the us state of nevada, have been able to reopen the road, leading out of the festival ground, allowing people to finally leave thousands of attendees were tracked for days due to heavy rains and not the way out is the nearest highway, and it is an 8 kilometer dirt road. un secretary general, antonio quoterush has urged the international community to help make africa a renewable energy super power. he was speaking in the kenyan capital, and i wrote, were leaders from across africa are discussing the transition to clean energy production. at the confidence 1st climate summer, kenya is calling for a solutions oriented approach. it says that africa hasn't fun. harold's opportunity to benefit from the fight against global warming, if there is sufficient investment to unlock it's potential. now kenya is already a front runner on the continent when it comes to renewable energy sources. have

a look, a steam rising in all car, you can use largest geothermal power plant located in the rift valley. northeast of nairobi, the water vapor is 300 degrees hot. as it comes out of the ground, it drives turbines that produce electricity. all carriers being financed in part with money from germany, state own investment and development bank. last year, the 2 countries launch the climate, an energy partnership, their common goal to combat climate change and expand renewable energy. just as on the by kenya, this special thing about kenya compared to other countries, is the easy accessibility to renewable energy or a bubble. and there's a huge amount of geothermal energy. and normally we have come close to tapping is full potential and that it's something new. every country in africa has a view to me is a, is also geothermal energy accounts for 45 percent of kenya's electricity production

. in the early 19 eighties, the country began producing energy with thoughts deem it all carrier. before that can you relied on hydro electric power? the country has vast renewable energy sources, wind, water, solar, and geothermal power. for this reason, nairobi has focused its efforts on green energy. around 90 percent of kenya is power is generated from renewable power sources. that's more than twice the share in germany. many people here are fond of solar power which can help to save money. this farmer put solar panels on his roof 2 years ago. yes, we have the d was complete. bob block out for 2 days. will stop my read it to me at the top of what i'm going to you on vedic pumps. i had to what sort of 30 years ago, only 3.5 percent of canyons have access to electricity. today around 3 fourths of

the population has power, but it's not reliable yet. the grid is at its limits. blackouts are a regular occurrence. one of the logic problems, he's also upgrading the existing infrastructure because it was not designed for renewable energy generation. and so i think that needs to be huge investment to make a 100 percent renewable energy future possible kenya needs help with developing its energy infrastructure. many african countries cannot tackle this challenge alone. africa's 1st climate summit. one of the goals is also to gain access to investors. can you, his plan is to double down on geothermal power. by doing so, it aims to generate 100 percent of its power from renewable energy sources by 2030 . so those are some developments in kenya in terms of green energy generation. let's hear more now from the agricultural development arm of the bill and melinda

gates foundation, i'm joined by interim director and dr. kava, who joins us from nairobi, kenya where he is attending the africa climate summit. welcome to the program, and thank you so much for joining us. what is your whoa, what do you hope to see come out of this meeting? so in the past 2 days, i've been hearing a lot of action, a lot of passion. i'm hearing african lead does are focusing on the action on deputation because africa is suffering the most or the contributed, at least on the missions. a lot of the debates on these assignments has been more around the mitigation, but not the petition easily that today because it can. yeah. and it may not that we can cut it off. first thing i don't know for this activity because a lot of the groups are being affected by dropouts bypass. that's what we can mean as it gets foundation in so many, many as with being with you now on the tools and innovations we small order from us

can use in the north seeds new lights, the grids, digital, or to make sure that you know, if those places that got dry out, they can do blind more adaptive cups. we are focusing on cassava. we're focusing on millet. we are focusing on sweet. what that to and some of this, it had been an opportunity to replace like which, you know, because he had a huge problem because out of the russia, ukraine prices. so rather than doing it right on the we can you way yours. so gum neil at which i look at the adaptive and your focus is on climate change and its impact on agriculture and food production. um, can you give us, you know, some concrete moves? what exactly you think is needed to make efforts and farmers more resilient? most immediately what are the steps so, so what is the 1st thing is to make sure that your so you have and just so information you know,

it's so like now we have reduced the cost of so information by almost 97 percent. so it kind of like you can, you would know in great detail the quality of this. so of course, the whole country that becomes very empowering was you will know where to grow. what, so that is 100 big and, and kenya is ready to adopt. this is not yours in terms of the digital. so it may be which would then allow the country to know the areas that got more susceptible drought. and then while you have low moist job, then how do you begin now to use that to the information, to come up with the right uh, valley chance for the right the region. and when we drill down a little bit deeper into your work, some african farmers, we have dimension. also independent consulting firms say that this push for green revolution on the continent, it has yet to deliver on promises and radically reduce hunger and increase farmer productivity and income. and i'm wondering what you say of that to that

as well. it blows down to how would you increase the productivity per unit. the flags yields in africa as to at 10 of what they should be. and the one of the main reasons because it is becoming dry in most places. and then you'll kind of be depending on, on the fall global commodities which you, most of if you buy or mays. yeah. growing we didn't rise yet doing so. yeah. but that's why through now it was so here of this you just use the we need to diversify into little cups. when i was growing up, i mean it's bread, middle of which yes, the ones. but yet, what do we think we may let in portage and so on, which i have met out of the low call. how much it is. and i think i forget has to change that by focusing on your local groups. that do very well, where you are and they, nobody charge you to delete that said that you are growing. does that find that

people like you? yeah, during the call, call for chocolate. know on we have chocolate for lunch. we need to focus on the local crops, we need to task. we need to find your, we need salva. we need so gum. and that is what we have putting research into. what does that neglected grow ups? expense of the i don't think we could do it very well in the global not thank you very much for joining us to share that message. north dakota, as we mentioned, you're from the agricultural development arm of the bill. and melinda gates foundation, the interim director there, we appreciate your time of the state's fault. germany used to have a pirate party. they long ago sank into political obscurity. but now get ready for germany's pirate chancellor lock schultz has posted this picture of himself on social media. after a fall as a result of a running accident, he says his doctors advised him to wear and i patched for the next few weeks. despite his injuries, sholtes seems in good spirits. he says, it looks worse than it is. he's excited to see the means and he will not be

disappointed. and boatload of pirate means are surfacing from the depths of the internet to have a look. the resolution to see in the name of the ship was the volume, the, the hard her bubble, the labels to bring the sugar end from the talk and is leaving with that. now you're up to date here and data views up. next it is kick off with
