[000:00:00;00] the, this is dw news live from the land. north korea is king, john mates, russian president vladimir, to this in the north korean leda. whole talks with suzanne at a russian space complex in the countries far east suits and says that discussing, oh, aspects of military corporation. also coming up on the program more than 5000 that in the libyan floods, to down the self to, to rental rains, destroying much of the city,

if they're not thousands of people are still unaccounted for and the country split, the government is complicating for the test the new kid was making and welcome to the program, the north korean leader kim jong and is holding talks with president vladimir person in the fall east of russia. they met to the especially wrote a cosmo drive space center who's in said north korea was interested in real kit technology to develop its own space program. the 2 leaders will also expect to discuss the supply of munition by north korea to russia, which is running, show us at supplies for its invasion of ukraine. this is kim john ends 1st foreign trip since the pandemic. the junction is a reports or a news anchor with south korea is already run

t v and she joins us now from the capital. so welcome to the w. let's talk about location. first of all, and in this meeting was originally reported to take place. and bloody vol spelt, gets, actually though, now happening of the a cause metro and the russian space center. isn't it? can you tell us what the significance of that might be? the right, the mazda, she needs space launch facility is in rest. as for eastern, i'm are region and this spaceport is from 1000 kilometers from bloody boss stock, where many experts and media outlets for speculated the top summit to take place. given that it was where the 2 leaders met back in april of 2019. also it was where a lot of recruiting was that last participating in the east for an economic forum. and going back to your question as to why it's significant that a russian space center has been chosen as the 1st need of location in years. well, it's because that it suggests that russia may help north korea with its rocketry and satellite programs and tell me i'm has recently failed to put its own military

spice satellite into orbit. so if lost count where to share it, satellite technology, north korea would be able to strengthen with its military capabilities. and this is likely, this scenario we'll be seeing because the rushing news agency also report including saying, applying to rival how his north korean count over king john then showing great interest in rocket technology and expanding the regina present in space boot and also said he and his north spring counterpart, we'll talk about a wide array of relevant issues without haste, specifically here. so we'll have to see what type of breakthroughs will be mentioned, but most likely in regards to military cooperation. right. not just our, the full kinda arrives of amazing as he was on his way. north korea fly to ballistic missiles towards the sea. what message is shown young trying to send here? would you say? as you mentioned, there were to ballistic missiles, launched towards the sea without controlling even being in the country. and that's pipe worse on because you're in korea, we're taking it as a security threat. experts are mainly worried that it's kim improved and were to

agree to strengthen their military cooperation in this type of geo political tension. we could also be seeing a possible 3 way naval troll with china and that was already mentioned before in july. and as you mentioned, the physical military threats have already be seen just hours, hours ahead of the summit, nor create a part to short range for listed missiles, as well as joint chiefs of staff said the 2 missiles were launched at 11 43 am and 11 53 am today, korea time. both look flying some 650 kilometers each from north korea. so in our region, and now uh south korean authorities are definitely on the lookout in full readiness stands because they are now closely cooperating with the united states to see what can be happening forward, especially during the tasks with can go on and prove it. okay, so, so those folks all happening now, the to lead as a talking with fidelity, asians with told who has kimbrell with him, he was proud of his top military officials with him. the delegation includes military officials,

leave them to impact him to him. and that just shows that military cooperation is a top agenda, which is why a lot here. and so are quite worried about what will be discussed. as i mentioned a few times before. there's high possibility that information regarding satellite technology and especially summary nuclear technology, or the key agenda is because those are 2 things that north korea has been asking for in the past. always to inbox. okay, and how worrying is the sneezing fit for south korea? what's the reaction that or i think it's quite worrying because sanctions don't seem to be as effective and stopping north korea rushers from doing what the international society is telling them to do, telling them not to do. but we've been saying, washington and sole continues the refer to the new one as the council resolutions. we've been talking about sanctions and how washington will not refrain. they won't hesitate to slap even more sanctions. but will this stop them from actually breaking, finding breakthroughs and military cooperation is a complete different issue. and some experts told me that it's inevitable that

russia in north korea will afford higher level cooperation on the military front. as i mentioned before, it seems like the 2 pariah states need each 100 most at the moment. ever since coming out the field to find the middle ground with washington it's and it's new here summit. it's been suffering with multi lateral sanctions, which of course affected its economy independent, exacerbated norcross food and energy crisis. russia is no exception when it comes to being heavily sanctioned. so because the internationally outcast to 2 countries now need the target the most, this is worry, this is very worrisome for countries like korea. and recently we've come back from a camp david tre, level summit with washington and tokyo. so we've been full screen ties and be using north korea and russia, preventables or ties. this could definitely affect the geo political security here in the green peninsula in nearby. okay. and, and finally, just sort of looking forward, you know, solo so fall held back from sending weapons to ukraine. if kim was to strike

a deal with person to provide munitions for us as well in ukraine. could that then potentially change the sol? i think we'll still have to see because cap sell career is desperately put in a relatively difficult position. we are still a partner country with russia. we still have extreme, just going on and south cruise presidential office mentioned a few days ago and actually asked russia a permanent member of the usc to act responsibly. and so also referred to how any orange fuel between north korean russia would yet again violate a long list of un sanctions, will still have to see what comes forth. but at the moment, that's the presidential offices dance. it's asking russia to be responsible, permanent member of the you and i see. all right, we'll have to leave it the thank you so much. that's the engine from south korea is our 8 rang t v. thanks so much for your time. thank you. now, sounds like people have been killed in the catastrophic flooding in libya,

the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies says around 10000 people are missing stone. daniel hits libya of to barreling across the mediterranean. it cost floods which swept away and tie in neighborhoods in the eastern coastal areas. the destruction is west and darren, what 2 times collapsed, wiping out the course of the city, the east, libya and terry administrate puts there in his desk toll at more than $5300.00 relief assets of being complicated by the fact that libya's internationally recognized government and tripoli does not control the devastated eastern regions as the casualties in there. now, mount locals are overwhelmed with the task of identifying and bearing the dead on the funds are mine. we are mass burying bodies yesterday at the neighboring hospital on the she had area and it was about a 1000 dead people including women, children,

man and elderly. all of those that see it. there now was devastated when to downs collapse during the storm. it's an unprecedented disaster and help has been slow to arrive back in uh, we call on all the young libby, and anyone who has a degree or any medical affiliation to please come and help us despite warnings that the storm was coming. presidents were not evacuated, but then we heard that the dam had burst, and water had flooded the area of the kind of clearing the horse had people were asleep, and no one was ready. crumbling infrastructure and political divisions which rival factions controlling different parts of the country have made libya particularly vulnerable and official from the eastern administration who visited the city said as much as 25 percent if they're in a had disappeared. meanwhile,

libya's internationally recognize government based and triply down play the need for international aid, even though doesn't control the affected region 7, we had to postpone all demands for assistance with the exception of crucial cases. i think we should have when we, when we said we don't need food, water medicine or even manpower. and that's what we need to specialist visit. we need help for treating bodies from the see how to do it in do besides, if we spoke to some countries who will help us with the equipment search under the rubble. well, several countries, including germany, have offered aid, but then to a divided country, there still many obstacles in the way of getting help to those in need. joining us now from paris is my luck. ok. the libyan analyst number, such as,

who has written widely about libya's challenges due to climate change. thanks so much for joining us here in d. w and our residents of diana. we're hearing one of the about the storm, but they want evacuated. so could this massive catastrophe have been prevented. thank you so much for having me to answer this question indeed. for this situation could have been prevented. problem does very well with all yes struction or it has been uh we are just calling hello. can you hear me? uh now my lot. hello. yes i can. yes, i can hear you clearly. can you hear me? we're having some problems near here. yeah, we can hear you now. hello. can you hear me yet? my luck. can hear you. i guess i can hear clearly,

but right 1st it can hear me. well, i can hear you now. um like we would, i was just saying that residents of down what one to about the storeroom, but they want evacuated. so the question is, could this catastrophe have been prevented, or indeed the tests are be, could have been prevented and the store could have been avoided and even reduced. and then you're not going to do it. but unfortunately, i believe that awareness was not raised enough by local authorities to address this issue. people uh, based on information shared by locals, sunset that on the day of the storm. they were asked to stay in their homes while others say that in some areas they were asked to leave their houses. but the local authorities didn't take responsibility before the storm hit the area and evacuated the people. it's merely due to the neglect and belittling the

disaster that was coming towards the area. okay, at to what extent would you say will libby as political divisions affect its ability now to cope with this post the human tragedy? and obviously also an environmental disaster on this incredible scale. as i'm fortunately, libya has been um, started within the political division and fragmentation status for over 10 years. now the focus has been more on a make for a stable government. but given that this to you wish and has been more focused on this and having this fragmentation in hand, it's clear that of the efforts entitling this issue which requires more unity and support from all local authorities in order to cope with this. but given that the

focus has been more on the fragmentation, the political instability, and so on, up and little has been done basically to address environmental challenges for over 2 years. is now reflecting negatively because of the storm. daniel, that's what i wanted to ask you because libby or of course is known as an oil producing countries. so to what extent is there any recognition within libya, all of the importance of environmental issues. unfortunately, there is no recognition whatsoever. the environmental issue is uh, has been and still are at the bottom of the priorities of the ideas. and we're not seeing it died from some sensitive documents for the past over 10 years. and so that not on the chair and supported the environmental issues in the country,

it has been taken by those in power more was much more was focused on gaming, laptop, way of corruption unless was uh was uh, was and to address the environmental challenges. and unfortunately, although the country is an oil rich, we, it hasn't used oil to cope with them. all right? unless some research and my la l tab, thank you so much for joining us. of the, every jenny is far less surprising. we've gone all out to give you some of the right people in your northern most count the police the free time
