flows through the sky, start september 20th on dw, the business dw, do live from berlin, russia look, set to up north korea for weapons, us media, se the north korean leader, kim jong, and will travel to russia for talks with a lot of a few 10. the 2 countries have so far denied that any north korean arms had been used in russia's war against ukraine. also coming up more migrant votes leaving to deja. we made a man prepared to risk his life to travel to europe and a smuggler set to profit from the thing to restore. nay. and didn't tennis?

germany's alexander swear of advance as to the us open. but his victory is overshadowed by a fan of shouting the anthem anthem used by auto hitler. the sierra kelly. welcome to the program. the us says that north korean leader, kim jong and plans to travel to russia for a meeting with president vladimir putin. at the top of the agenda, a potential deal to supply russia with ammunition for the war and ukraine. but the kremlin is refusing to confirm reports of any potential meeting from one north korea's military mines on full display. a celebration in july markings and it's a korean war, russian defense minister. so it gave show you stood side by side with the north

korean president, the parade in the capital p on yang made a big show as north korea is expanding new killer program. but what russian needs is most simple, a munition notably artillery shells and anti tank missiles, as many as they can get. you officials estimate that russia has fires it around $50000.00 salary shells per day since invading ukraine. international sanctions have limited, must goes options to replenish it's supply. and so it appears to have turned to north korea, shown yang, hold significant quantities of ammunition. so analysts are unsure about the quality of its stuck piles. but north korea can also offer role materials, particularly, or which rustic can use to ramp up its own production of shells. another question for you crane's western allies is what russia might give in exchange. in the immediate term, food is a top priority for people in yang years of cobra. deluxe downs and strangling

sanctions. have left many north koreans. on the brink of famine, south korea suspects russia has offered to hold joint naval drills with china and north korea. a mirror to the annual exercises held between south korea and the united states. but many also see a russia may offer advanced technologies that could be used to the young young's new caleb program. a prospect that would violate over a dozen un sanctions. and for more i am joined now by marina myra military analyst from king's college in london. i'll walk into the program. thank you so much for joining us. first of all, let's talk a little bit more about north korea. and the capacity is that it might have what could it potentially supply russia with when we talk about, you know, human munitions and capabilities? hello, sarah. well, 1st of all, i think the most important thing is that north korea could supply russia with our

artillery shells and artillery systems that it has some old store files up north korea has would be compatible with so it's kyle artillery systems. therefore, that will take the pressure off rushes production and enable it to get more powerful when it comes to the use of it. sort. hillary knowing exactly is that ukraine is lacking, or tillery shells. so that would give a rush or an advantage there, but we don't know what quality it is there and how many shells it could potentially buy. and there's also a lot of speculation that this might now potentially be a 2 way street. if this meeting is, does indeed occur, and that north korea might wish to obtain, besides food, also advanced military technology. what exactly could kim jong on want and would russia be able be willing to deliver your thank as well, i think apart from fluid, even lowering food to north korea would take pressure off north korean economy and

more money would be then free to spend for military purposes and came young has shown that during call that the, if we'll look at the amount of missile launches, north korea has made so far. they have not reduced. they have increased every year . and the other things that russia could offer is cooperation in space. specifically, when it comes to designing space assets, 6th space satellites, it could also provide and worst career was launch vehicles with space space launch vehicles using russia as customer drawings, for instance. so there is quite a lot that russia could offer an also known holland development of nuclear submarines or nuclear weapons per se. but i think that would be too risky for russia because it doesn't want to see itself endangered by creating another nuclear power. so i don't think that that is an imminent danger. danger. talk with us about the bottom line in terms of what this might mean on the battlefields when we're

looking at ukraine. if russia, for example, does get what it wants here we're talking about the shells, for example, that might be compatible with a sort of soviet era of architecture of a precious military. what kind of impact could that potentially have on the battlefield? in ukraine? i have given the fact that um, raska is under sanctions and russian economies being affected. the production of shells is also difficult for russia also due to lack of western components. therefore, it was easy navigation for russia and make it possible for them to use as many shells as they normally would to keep office the fire pressure on the ukrainian forces. i don't think it will be a significant shift in terms of what is happening on the battlefield because that is only one small part of the equation. however, i think the consequences of this particular collaboration between the 2 countries is much more far reaching on the global scale. and what it means for is the global

balance of power. if the likes of china, russia and most korea conduct military or exercises to gas or so, i think we need to think here be on ukraine. how that will affect the international or the or random i run from king's college london. thank you so much. thank you. for having me and here's the look of some other stories making news around the world. the world food program is cutting food aid to another 2000000 ask in signing a mass of short fallen funding. that means a total of $10000000.00 ass towns are now cut off from food support. the land is raising the alarm over, shrinking aid to afghanistan, warning of a catastrophe. if things don't change, leaders from the association of east asian nations or asi on our meeting for a summit and the indonesian capital jakarta talks are expected to be dominated by the ongoing crisis in myanmar. as well as china's continuing efforts to force its

claims to much of the south china sea, a tie soon hic way has made land fall in se china. the heavy rains and floods submerged 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 greece, 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 thunder storms and torrential rains and the mediterranean, the number of migrant crossings to europe is higher than it has been in years. so far this year. more than 140000 people have survived to the perilous journey and no number have died. one hotspot country for departures is tunisia. from there, the journey usually goes to the tiling islands of land producer,

or sicily. now the eu has pledged hundreds of millions of yours to help the canadian government stop people from making this crossing. but so far, without much effect. the w xian, philip schultz and my broke up a beer report from sax into the show which is at the forefront of my current departures routinely. while the has been fishing out of this harbour 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 warn them to turn back, but he says they hardly ever do. as a big guy, get them, we keep finding bodies in the sea and they get tangled in our fishing nets. we call the coast guard when that happens, unless people, yukon with cause it is also a lot of the staff people just like us, has the 790 level to 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. and 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 burkina, faso. 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. soon as you see, my only hope is to get across the sea to your well, i'm doing everything for my mom be the so i wanted her to be a bit happy for the 1st time in her life, in brooklyn to that's heavy when boats think the coast guard often bring survivors to this hospital. dr. robbie hung, dolly says recently, it's felt like a war zone. when do we do? if 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 times when i only do the job to make money, right. and everyone wants to make lots of money home, but 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. appreciate it. my new, i'm a $1000.00 people control the whole beach area. i'm sure, but i know some of our guys have direct connections with the regional security

forces. i'm done with this. i'd be the, the, the some of the basic they will tell us when it's safe for a crossing easy. we pay up to $10000.00 euros for the service, but you have where he lives. he made it. so suit doesn't care who profits from his trip. he still has to earn a few 100 zeros with all the jobs and sucks. then they'll have enough to get on a boat and take his chances some tennis news for you now and at the us open german number 12 seed alexandra it's whereas be italy as unix center and 5 sets to reach the quarter finals. the match, however, was overshadowed by controversy after a fan was adjusted for shouting a phrase that is associated with adult hitler and band in germany. after 4 hours and 41 minutes, the job was done of the after the long is due as open
