[000:00:00;00] the, [000:00:00;00] the, this is the w news y from berlin, us, secretary of state antony blinking makes an unannounced visit to ukraine. the trip signals the us is ongoing support for keith to repel. the russian invasion is expected to assess the counter offensive and announce the new package of us. the system is also coming up the german parliament debates the countries budget. with

a focus on defense, german transel full of shaw says the country will contribute more to nato in due course, but the opposition says that commitment isn't strong enough. advocate as climate summit closes in on i, roby with assign declaration to appeal to industrial nations to help in the transition to green energy. and another country takes a moving chunk prepared. it's the latest to have it. sites on the lunar landing james to test the spacecraft of land on the lunar surface and further in space goals hard on the heels of india, russia and china. the and a warm welcome to our viewers around the world. i'm michael. ok. us secretary of state

antony blinking has arrived in key for a previously unannounced visit. it's a show of support emitted ukraine's 3 month old counter offensive, which has so far found only modest gains. he met with before administered to mutual cause, eva, and is expected to meet with presidents, a lot of his, the lensky. later, america's top. diplomat will announce a new military aid package of up to $200000000.00 during the visit. while a further aid package is expected later this week. i'm now joined by dw bax xander in keys. max, what's behind blinking is visit hi michael. so this is the 3rd time you were the secretary of state asked me blinking a lot of what is coming to or has come to ukraine since the beginning of the full scale invasion. so we, we cannot underestimate the symbolic value of this visit. this is more than 550 days into the war. the ukrainians are tired of fighting this war. but the allies

are also affected by this. so this visit is likely also about showing the ukrainians that, that, that ukraine's biggest toner biggest, the biggest supporter when it comes to military aid is still on its side. you said it already. um, secretary of state lincoln is expect to announce in a package of roughly $200000000.00 us dollars today and tomorrow and prep, and most likely there will be another announcement later this week. so in total, we're looking at one roughly, $1000000000.00 us dollars of military aid, but it's not just about pledging starts the most important also about finding out what exactly is going on here on the ground talking to the ukrainians. there has been some criticism by us officials in the past. in the recent past, how do you crate these are conducting their counter offensive? that it's all going social 2 slow ukrainians happen angered by this calm and so this weather is also likely by clearing the year and finding out exactly what is going on, how the united states can help and taking this message back to the us where

supports for supplying aid and weapons for ukraine is also beginning to crumble. max, as far as you know, has there been any reaction so it must go. right, so this is a 2 day visit the as far as we know, this was not in balance. it has been conducted in secrecy, though they're having some rumors yesterday afternoon, early evening that blinking would be coming through to you if so likely the russians will have known long before us. and possibly this is one of the reasons why they conducted attacks in various parts of the country. there have been some agriculture facilities hits and that with this, our region yesterday, with one person killed. and there have been numerous missile attacks last night on the capital. cuba, where us secretary of state blinking is today. but in addition to these acts, there also has been a official statements by the kremlin spokes person, mr. pascoe, who said, quote unquote, the westwood support and wage this war to the last to praying essentially

reiterating the russian narrative that this was not a russian act of aggression against the crane. but that russia was a part of a proxy war against the west. which, as we know is not true. mac sandra, with an eye on war time diplomacy between keeping washington many thanks. turning here to germany, now the parliament is debating the budget for europe's biggest economy. in his speech to the bonus stock chancellor, olaf shoulds outlined his plans dis for economic growth and streamline the country's bureaucracy. the chancellor appeared with an i ipad which has been wearing since a jogging accident last weekend. the conservative opposition leader attacked the chancellor's budget plans saying they provide him sufficient support for the countries military and will not meet berlin's needle commitments of the debate is

ongoing. here's part of what chancellor sholtes have to say. this up to step out of the seriousness of the situation is not rhetorical. are a joke in everything we do. now. we need to make sure that we will be able to make these funds available. we will guarantee that the bonus reaches the 2 percent may to quote and 202820292013 through the thirty's. that's how it's now meant to be. our chief political editor, michelle yellow cosigner, has been following the debate in germany's poem, and i asked her to explain false his words on the struggling german economy as well . what he doesn't want to do is simply spend his way out of what over some people already describing looming crisis. he says that germans particularly good at talking their own economy down on points to the fact that 100000000000 euros in this upcoming budget. that's still being discussed until november. it is going

towards infrastructure half of that towards germany's trained system low. and so he wants to create growth from the inside. and he has vowed to continue for a significant subsidies and which he, of course, as a cool that way, edwards companies, particularly in the semi conducts the industry. intel, for instance, just got applied for 10000000000 euros from germany for investing 30000000000 euros in this town. of max to bold, and that he says and shows that germany will also be a leading in the field of a few to the development of high tech industries creating wellpaid jobs. while of course, the whole question of skilled labor remains an open one and that germany, he says it will also be more open to skilled labor. at the same time, he's quoting on the opposition to play in the same team and wants to see germany packed as he calls it at to get more speed into the whole issue of planning

processes. here. as you well know, germany's main opposition party says the government's budget plans aren't sufficient to address the huge challenges facing the country, including by the way, continued support for ukraine. how good the chancellor respond to that as well. he rejects that very notion and we all seeing a quite a bit of a political point scoring going on here. the fact is that while there is no written commitment was a 2 percent goal, the money that's what the child supports towards is there at the moment. there's 100000000000 extra and for investments in defense. and he says, yes, there is a spending gap, a finance gap looming in the near future, but that the title budget now, which is a post cobit post having absorbed the sock of a win ukraine going on a budget. that's what was the said smaller than just

a couple of years ago. and that that will ensure that the money will be the we have 2 more years to go. and all i've sold says coalition. and the polling at the moment points towards the possibility of his offices. and conservatives saying a growing role as we approach the next elections in 2 years time chief political editor, their initial yellow cliff. now as always, many thanks for a brief look now at some of the other stories making news around the world this hour, the u. k. government has announced plans to officially designate the russian and state funded wagner military as a terrorist organization. the move would enable the u. k to seize the groups assets . wagner has played a central role in the war, new crane, and in russia, operations russian, the operations, i should say, in syria and efforts. the former leader of the far right proud voice militia

partly because of over orders. well, advocacy 1st climate stomach is wrapping up in nairobi today. delegates joined in signing the so called nairobi decorations, calling on industrial countries to help fund africa's transition toward green energy. the only responsible for less than 4 percent of global emissions. africa is particularly vulnerable to the facts of changing fine with trinet. they are both dw felix miranda has been covering the climate summit in nairobi for us and joins us now. felix, the much anticipated and i will be, declaration just came out. what's in it? so the declaration has quite a number of points, but the key takeaways is that one e. e, global nations or nations in the north had been asked by africa to all other places that they've made in their previous assignments. secondly, there's been

a proposal for establishing a couple in tax, which we'll talk as a sales force in fios globally. it was also tags by the mighty type of transport and also a visual and something else that has come out very strongly is that africa is asking for the truck's heading of the financial. and they kind of seems so that their financial mccadney is in globally equipped supports, the needs that africa has something else that will be happening. it's the knowledge that these time it will be taking place after every 2 years. so it's an exciting opportunity for i forgot to find that we have one voice to watch confidence yates. i mean, and let's have these. yeah. phillips. i know it's early days as they say, but i'm curious. any reactions to it? yeah. to um that it several nations that uh, had attended um or several regions that had that tend to be so i mean uh that you'd

see if the, if that they said that they would be supporting whatever declared some that would be made here today. lead us from the united, alabama. it said that they will be together with africa and they will be supporting africa as voice either competent to you it's, i mean, so i, they, you and see if i'm telling you a good time is also said that he will be supporting advocates. 10 points of pulling these particular reasons. so we're still yet to hear more uh supports from other ports of that sofa. the city regional bodies. they, you, they, you and, and they, you a, you where the copped into it's, i'm, it will be taking place on the pledge support for the declaration that have been made today. so a little perspective here, what are the takeaways of this summit thus far? so the key takeaways is mine shift gift that day when william roots or the can president was picking the said that africa needed to move from this kind of the

mindset to a mindset where investments can actually be made in green energy. the also pete still as africa is the continuance that has about 60 percent of renewable energy and said that africa will be keep clear in ensuring that there was transitions to green energy comments that will also accord by of the usual pin union president will say level under land and also antonio butera is all of them saying that africa will be helping the while to clean up the coupling mess that has existed for so long. quickly, felix, we understand there were a number of protests at the summit. what were they about? so the protest as why raising concerns about the proposal is to invest in natural gas. they're saying that natural gas will just continue affecting that most c a bought the wall calling on the reach initial is to or not,

they are competent that and pay the money directly as compared to converting the money to couple and created. so they're asking that and that's what role does, so not to be mind and is dead. this rates initial or the initials that have made pledges before should actually for navea pledges. and this is something that the claimant's activities continue pushing for felix may. ringo with some very rich details from the 1st africa climate summit that wraps up today many facts. dest devastation and disruption. storms and flooding which are forty's, are pending on climate change, or wreaking havoc on both sides of the globe in southern america and in south east europe with fatalities on the rise in europe. storm daniel has battered greece, turkey and bulgaria, causing lands, winds, and further damage with the de lose. 9 people are confirmed to have died so far.

that is no column after the storm. kentucky rescue is have that what cuts out is trying to reach people trapped in flowed scores by storm. daniel, this pass and seen through the trees. one of the lucky ones to be carried out of danger. minute 3 vehicles and helicopters have been brought in to help the rescue efforts farther north in bulgaria. similar to themes of despair. several results along the black sea coast have been hits with flat rock is rising to more than 2 meters. people have been to find higher ground, easier set and done for those at sea level, having to enjoy a bumpy ride it across the boss or in greece. they've gone from one extreme to another. wild fires have been replaced with rain water drivers and cause that can still be driven, have been to stay off the roads. the mattress by the effective voted

on support. city was filmed, raging of people for still being outside the cools here, trying to save what they can of the storm. daniel's train of destruction, often without success. they say they've never seen anything like it too, before to see that the rainfall was very intense and unprecedented. this has never happened before here. there was a loss of water, a lot of volume, and for many, many hours. for 24 hours it was non stop. there was a lot of water. it was unbelievable which the 3 co star to use put the blame from the, the face of climate change saying extreme events like these. and now the new normal in turkey, specifically, these severe rain storms have left at least 5 people dead. i asked l. corresponded in is stumble, joy and jones to paint the picture of the damage and the floods soaked country to

mother's feelings was a night of absolute devastation. she said 5 at least date 2 of which are in the nearby city of kirk and where of the town was devastated by a deluge of rain and in the camp site. 2 people were washed away by of a deep storm and 4 other people are reported missing. here in the stumble, it was equally devastating picture in the western suburbs of the city. it was hit by, according to the mayor, a 140 kilograms of rain per square meter fell within the space. 2 hours that 3 months, brain and not close absolute devastation, turning streets into rivers flooding comp, box, closing absolute may have a recording to authorities, at least $1700.00 homes have been damaged. many of the completely destroyed the government have announced that there will be assistance of those who have sought the damage. but now they are engaged in

a massive cleaning operation and trying to get the city back on its feet again door . and we've seen some pretty dramatic images of the flooding is stumble. what happened there? well, i think the problem was, is just to ship for rosa to you. i'm bowling the full to forwarding and such a short period of time. there was a public library and one of the suburbs where people were trapped in the building as a will to envelop the building. people have to move on to the 2nd floor. so as the whole building was seen and dated by volta several metro station. so had to be close, this will take this cascade it down the stairs. many cases tracking people, people have to be evacuated, all the services in the area of be suspended by many cobb park, sol costs volta towed to the flooding. there was people calling for assistance with that cause for trenton on the policies that is being massive, the emergency operations going through the night to get to these people. it really was an incredibly violent night of, of halter and,

and disaster violating 9th of water and disaster. i imagine that thousands of people will be looking to the skies in the coming days. what's the forecast for today? and the foreseeable future? our authorities weren't well, thankfully, it seemed to full costs. familiar with lease is going to be good wherever with strong winds for at least another week. now those winds will be very important to help just try out the city, and that will be welcome to the operations being run by the c team in the clean up the city. but the concern will be in the next week also because traditionally weather that says, if that's explained sort of increase in many cases move these will towards a stumble and they will be in the those plots and storm. so the pic freeze could ultimate, the arriving kentucky and there is rain people calls for a week's time. so the authorities will be on the look that this isn't the end of this terrible night of, of, of rain and flooding. and the far east will be hoping that again, they will talk to bullets of, of most homes. what's they all prepared for them all to come at. so dw

correspondent, dorian jones is ever many thanks for and now to the moon. india has made a historic landing at the lunar south pole just a few weeks ago. a few days after rush i had tried and failed to do the same. now japan, which has not yet been able to achieve a soft landing on the lunar surface, is set to launch its attempt to get to the move. so we might ask, what next for lunar exploration? a big goal for japan. smart lander for investigating mood or slim mission will be to land with high precision. hence the lenders nickname the moon sniper. the, the wordpress size is still a relative one. when it comes to guiding a spacecraft down to the lunar surface. we're talking about precision, ma'am. then we're talking about in the range of 1900 to 200 meters precision. the

other lunar emissions have plans, landing zones measured in kilometers. but the light weight, moon sniper will try to put down within a 100 meters of a pre determined target. if it masters that challenge, it will investigate nearby rocks with a multi band spectral camera and deploy a small rolling picture taking robot nick named sora q. if it's successfully soft lands on the lunar surface as planned early next year, the slim mission will make japan the 5th nation to do so. joining number 4 in the club, india is chandra on 3 lenders successfully put down on august 23rd. japan and india are now planning a joint project called the lunar polar exploration mission, flu pack set of 4, sometimes chun dry on for it's currently slated for lunch in about 3 years. it is

supposed to start seriously looking for resources, especially water. this searches mostly for the conditions on the surface thinking in the long time that they might be human base of people living on the moon. all these things are very important because we see the moon as a kind of 1st stage 4 expiration of a solar system. but progress toward that goal is slow and success is far from guaranteed. a number of recent attempts that failed to set down safely on the lunar surface. like rushes recent luna 25 mission which was lost before landing. got cut the pitcher painted to points to the engine taking too long and slowing down the spacecraft too much. instead of just sending to a height of 18 kilometers on the surface of the moon, it just send it even low and probably just collided with

a surface that i have to close the closest body up with you. the 2 more emissions to the moon could be launched by american companies in the next few months, but safely setting probes down on it is just a prelude to the next big step. returning astronauts to the surface. that's the aim of the art of a series. it's next to mission artem is to is slated to take astronaut back to lunar orbit by the end of next year. then in 2025. the item is 3. will try to land them. that in turn for shadow is the building of lunar bases, which are in planning by a number of different countries all hoping to gain a permanent foothold on our closest celeste. you'll neighbor the men's will number to novak joking, their breeze through to the semi finals of the us open with a straight sand to victory over american number 9. see to taylor fritz. the serbian,
