the, the, this is the, the we news line from berlin, around releases, prisoners and exchange for billions of dollars. 5 to us a ring and citizens have been freed after years of detention for alleged buying. iran agreed to swap them for access to frozen funds. also coming up, germany's foreign minister unleashes a diplomatic storm. we'll look at the controversial common sense prompted china to sell in the german ambassador and after dam collapse to kill thousands, an eastern liberty of the you and warrants to war dams in the country or under

massive pressure and could crumble as well. the on the course really it's good to have you with us along the way, the prisoner, a swap between a ron and the united states is underway. 5 dual american iranian citizens have been freed. they arrived in dela after leaving tear on and are now on round to the us. they're being exchanged for 5 radians help them be wes. 2 of them have reportedly landed in tier one according to rain and state tv. iran is getting access to $6000000000.00 in oil revenue that was frozen by south korea. runs foreign ministry confirmed the money would be transferred to a bank account in guitar, where the agreement allows it to be used only for 2 monetary and purposes. the us secretary of state antony blinking,

spoke about the prisoner release. let's take a listen. in this process, the end, the engagement is necessary to bring it about the freedom of these unjustly detained americans. has always been a separate track in our engagement or for that matter, lack of engagement with a ron. so we're not happening, for example, in pursuing the effort to return to the nuclear agreement. we've been focused on working independently to bring these americans home so it doesn't speak to anything else in the relationship. we continue to be determined to take whatever step is necessary to deal with actions by iran in a whole host of areas. joining me now, it's been, i'm been to live lu, he's a senior fellow at the foundation for defense of democracies. welcome to the w. now this was 2 years in the making. how significant is this prisoner, swamp pleasure to be with you and many would say was as long as some of the hostages themselves have been around one of the hostages. hear back from ozzy, was i believe hostage for 8 years,

so it's exceptionally significant. it's always good news when you have a hostages in the americans and any unjustly list of the details. as for the citizens in dual nationals return home to their loved ones. but it is gonna have significant repercussions for the larger 40 and security problems that continue to persist with you from equip, public, let's not forget, it was an active international hostage taking that divorce the wrong america. 1979 submitted the prize status of the public. and in the past 4 decades, you've seen the runs proxies and partners also emulate these monica public. and in a world where and now runs great power patrons, russia and china are engaging in the detention or a potential hostage taking of western citizens. this issue is likely to escalate. so we're on a slippery slope here. one might say indeed let's look at how this agreement was reached and one of the mediators in particular, what do you make of guitar as role and all of this?

ok, well you know, it's always interesting. uh, there is always been an auditioning phase for who can say mediator between toronto and washington. and while there was a diplomatic track set up in oman and online in the past was instrumental and both nuclear diplomacy as well as hospital diplomacy. in this case, the risk guitar was accepting by coming in here was becoming the banking hub for tat ronda for the 6000000000 that was moved from south korea, converted in switzerland and then brought into banks and guitar. so it could be cuts are trying to, you know, gain a little bit more prominence of the diplomatic spotlight. but there are going to be outside is concerned there as well, because that has been a somewhat more permissive jurisdiction for tara finance in the region. now looking at the broader relationship between the us and iran, could all of the single, a change of mood between the 2 countries now, especially regarding talks to revive the nuclear deal. you know, there is

a lot of people who are seeing this is somewhat connected. i'm in the light, the seed is connected in this sense. i think the theory of the case by the bodies and this ration has to have hoss the diplomacy. they get nuclear diplomacy. it's really a proof of concept that america can deliver the sanctions relief of someone who would be against freeing up 6000000 and for the world's foremost state sponsored terrorism to continue to use. i think that would be a bad proof of concept. nonetheless, i think i want you to keep their eyes on any potential meetings between your bronze present or race. see who is in new york this week, as well as a, with any other heads of state. it's reported that he may need your hands for administer the running something eager to get the frozen funds out of japan as well . there continue to be other detained american nationals, as defined by us law, still held hostage in iran, as well as a plethora for nationals. so we may see more of this in the future. and it's been, i'm going to live low. thank you so much for your time. thank you. you take a look now and some of the other stories making news around the world are almost

200 microns have arrived on land produce adding to the thousands that reached the island last week. it comes as italy's right wing government adults tougher migration measures, extending the time, migrants can be detained, and ensuring more people who have no legal right to stay are repatriated. heavy rains have flooded parts of central and western india, the water level, and the near mazda river has risen. so emerging, the low lying areas in the western stage of good yacht. thousands of people have been evacuated from the region by the german defense minister boris. the story it says berlin is to provide a new 400000000 euro military aid package to ukraine. this does not include taurus missiles, can you've had been pushing berlin to supply with themselves, which have a range of up to 500 kilometers berlin fears ukraine could use them to attack targets in russia. china has summoned germany's ambassador in

beijing after foreign minister on a babel called president seating thing, a dictator. babylon made the remarks and a live interview with fox news in the us. last week. when asked about russia's war on ukraine, she said quote, a foot and more to win this war. what sign would that be for other dictators in the world like she like the chinese president? so therefore, ukraine has to win this war. china is foreign ministry, condemned bedbugs. comments, some details on the china, the pros and family rejected the remark by the german side, which is preposterous. it's a series of from to chinese political dignity and a blatant political provocation which made strong complaints to germany for diplomatic channels. it will be a political correspondence time and young is on the story for us. simon, china is not a muse house. berlin, reacting what i learned a bad bulk is now in new york for the united nations general assembly meeting. and

she was aust, whether she was aware of the chinese criticisms of her comments and how she might react. but she simply said yes that she was aware of those criticisms. the similar question was put to john, so they felt as spokesman here in berlin ad. and he said he didn't want to comment on whether these remarks would in any way affect the relationship between the 2 countries. so i think this has now gone beyond woods. in fact, because as you mentioned, i thought we'd see a flow of the gym and a basset to engaging with someone didn't have to listen to those chinese criticisms in detail on sunday. and it's not the official position of the german government to call the chinese president a dictate or is it no indeed. uh, germany wants to have good relations with china, which is after all its largest trading partner. and just earlier this year,

the german government brought out what it called, it's new china strategy, which i think lays the emphasis on finding ways to sort of both the bilateral relationship and 8, to talks about that trade and the importance of the relationship. it had some remarks about them wanting to promote gym and values like human rights and democracy. but it also coves a china, a partner competitor and systemic rival. so it's not quite the same kind of wood. and that strategy paper, i think you could say was more diplomatic. the foreign minister has been in the last few days. so with all that in mind, how big a diplomatic crisis is this as well, i wouldn't use the word crisis. so i think uh the chinese have some of the gym and, and past so that i registered that protest. and frankly,

i would expect they'd probably leave it at that is what pointing out that. so the us president joe biden did something very similar earlier this year. in june and on a campaign event, he described a president seed him paying as a dig, tell you to the criticisms and protests from the chinese sized. very similar wording. in fact to what we've heard it today. and well, you know, the relationship between the us and china hasn't been that completely blown out that continues to develop and both sides continue to make that point. so i expect that's what probably will happen here as well. so i mean young, many thank the head of the united nations has warned that the international community is fail is falling behind and its commitments to come back, hunger and poverty. speaking of the un general assembly and tony would terrace that nations were at risk of bailing to meet the so called sustainable development goals and 2030. they are an ambitious sense of agreements aimed at eliminating poverty

and improving global health by 2030 terrace warrant. that countries were on track to meet some 15 percent of those klein and science. they say those patients and policy is always chief political editor, mikaela cruz not joins us now from new york media. i love the un general assembly has adopted a declaration to accelerate the so called sustainable development goals. very little progress made and reaching them so far and even, you know, backsliding and some aspect is, is likely to accelerate things well, there's hold on to it just has to because there doesn't seem to be any alternative, this re commitments to old goals that where to find in 2015 for the 1st time is something that many see is long overdue progress to get this all into place by 2030, to alleviate hunger, to provide

a safe energy as in supplies to everybody. and to also a provide basic education at these goals of already been sold by the fund demik and also by the ukraine who but also by much more structural problems. so which is the debt that many developing countries simply don't seem to be able to shake off or at least struck to, to make them more viable and more resilient, which seems to be the deposit was and has been for a couple of years and testing what is very much threatening them and that is climate change that leads to get more hunger of protecting the lights of potential grain supply problems. and they think from crane. so it's a complex issue. there's a re commitments, but the acceleration would have to stop. now, the un general assembly is always a big meeting of world leaders. what is germany lobbying for during this week in new york? well,

it's every time. so salts came here actually with his own a fresh bridges to accelerate the c g goals that include some $300000000.00 in money for the world bank, which can then provide that and leverage that as loans for sustainability and the gym tests also spoke before that very summit, and let's just take a listen to actually the very concrete structural issues that he addressed. and talked to germany, provided 5000000 euro to address the most tragic global repercussions of russia's war against through green sunder. but national development budgets alone won't be sufficient. that is why we are working to reform the international finance architecture. especially the world bank. our goal is to improve its ability to fide poverty and to find this global public goods of the. and that's where clearly the form of finance minister of

germany is speaking, who has a very acute understanding of international finance of structures on like pretty much every nation, of course, the stress of what germany was doing. when also has mentioned that development, 8 over in this upcoming budget has been reduced by some 10 percent. and it seems to be a re deployment of result associated. but clearly it drives to change the global financial dynamics to help countries out of poverty. so today and tomorrow it's a sustainable development summit. what else can we expect from this week of world leaders meeting in new york? well, there's going to be many biological meetings. so to me is a lensky will become the a superstar of this annual meeting. he is expected to your in class and he's also due to hold by last for meetings also with german tons of sophie, always hassan when he's come across him and he's due to speak as well in the

general assembly as well as in the security council and that will certainly russel some russian feathers, was that the expecting that? so watch out for that appearance and also what tone he will strike because ukraine too, is becoming increasingly aware that there is another bathroom going on. and that's the hearts and minds of the global south who is feeling the negative effects of this rule and simply wants it to end. so that is quite a comp that is a lot more favorable to start tools not earlier, rather than later, despite the fact that even putting to the doesn't want any kind of piece tools. and neither does he create at this moment in time. and you'll be there covering it all for us though, is the w 2 political editor, mikaela cruz, now new york, thank as well. poverty and hunger are big contributors to the child mortality and combating both are among the new ones, top priorities of the general assembly. india has seen

a drop in rates of infant and child mortality in the past few years. apart from the national government, grassroots workers have been instrumental in improve child health. you know, we use monroe county, not one such health worker in building 45 doodle community health look like traditional books is visiting a new mother in her neighborhood today. the mother, so rich have just given birth to her 2nd daughter for 6 months. make sure that you just frustrated the baby know of the food, the savage. these visits, of course, of course, the reach of fish in the headstart with the essential medicines items, nutritional needs, $400.00 through those have made me but that every month when i was pregnant, she would visit regularly. tell me when to go see the doctor. she would also provide basic medicines and advice me on the right diet, but she also make sure that my kids get their vaccinations on time. fish, not as one of the thousands of wash all the codes, or actually did it,

for she has active, is in the country employed by the government of kato, to be health gave needs of their communities. women like color have played a key role over the box, can with yours and bringing down the child mortality, read in the country to the government data to dest. deflect the neonatal insight on the fine. would that if do you think it's, have seen a significant job? dr. sunday boil a public health specialist also thinks that'd be also woke up program. please unimportant shows we have seen a 30 percent dropping infant mortality from 2015 to 20. according to the government . india has many schemes which has focused on improving the child and america letterhead of and which has led to consistent decline in the child, as well as america mortality in india. educating people about the various governments schemes is one of the many responsibilities of course not involving

another. i shall go from the same area again the both of them have ensured that every child in the neighborhood is healthy like theater. one of my the here who was born under reed, but with bush nods and rubies, hes weekly republic i say was, gosh, where there's like aust, reach places where the doctor's com. we work in the area where we let people know us earlier. people would not take correct medical advice and we haven't educated them on the right steps to follow to raise a child and get them important much nations on time for us. fish not is committed to her book and knows that what she does is crushes, as she believes, only strong and healthy children will be able to build a better future for themselves. and the country for a week on, from the devastating floods in libya, the un is sounding the alarm over 2 more dams and mid fears. they also could

collapse mass of flash floods and gulf, the 4th to the of their know when to dams, broke in the mountains following a powerful storm. large areas of dirt now were washed away and thousands killed. now for their west, closer to bank ozzy, it's feared the why the job and why the guitar items are risk of suffering. the same fate, uncle authorities and says they're both functioning well. but the, when says it's concerned about reports, the dams are dealing with huge amounts of pressure. meanwhile, thousands are still unaccounted for in the aftermath of last week's disaster with dangerous conditions. hampering recovery efforts came yet to calling out for her nephew. as she routes through the rubble, sabrin lost her brother and his family when their buildings to come to the fierce flood waters. could we apply whose shore was your name? they used to come out here. then they would visit me, and i would visit them. now there is nothing left to me how the floods took

everything, their toys with their books, their father, to their mother, called her relatives, or some of the thousands of people still unaccounted for in the city. if there are no after ferocious storm caused them to break flooding the city, demolishing buildings, and sweeping entire neighborhoods out to sea. the june footage shows the devastating aftermath efforts to remove the rumble and find bodies are being hampered by dangerous conditions on the ground. many are still waiting for their loved ones, remains so they can lead them to rest. here on the loaner village. if only we could lift this one of the home and then if i could remove it with my own hands on the hook, there's a problem. if we could at least recover one body of both on the head, just one. so we can say we held a proper burial. meanwhile,

the threat of another crisis looms local teams are out and forced to sanitize streets and hospitals to prevent the contagion. we concerned about 2 things, the spread of infection by insects that can cause malaria, as well as colorado and other diseases. if we do not deal with it from the start so far, the situation is stable and under control thing for now. but the u. n. is warning at disease outbreak and the flooded east could spark a 2nd devastating crisis for the population. we can now speak to nora, l derby. she's a journalist on human rights activists based and assemble missile derby. welcome to the w. you have family and during the survived floods, i hope they're doing well considering the circumstances what they've been telling you is 8 finally coming through. yes, the aids are coming through and most of the medical aids it's covered. most of the

food a cover. they only have some problems with the uh, the, the, the, the normal usage rotate, the one that they use for cleaning and squared washing themselves and stuff like that. but um, this is not a big problem because i don't know since long time it has a very weak neck motor network. so usually the citizen often use to buying water and so we can get entice and then using it. so i think this is the only concern, now i'm in the government and so i have to work very hard uh on the age age hmos. and that sort of society outside to work that a hot key, the clean, more to, to the places where people are staying now. the shelters and safe clean water is very important. precisely because the un is issued a warning about the risk of disease outbreaks. what are you hearing about that?

it's actually they are of the national, the nation disease control center is i'm not saying that everything is under control. that's our source. and they are saying that everything is okay in that sense. it's only the smell of the, the composition of the bodies and they are trying their best to collect as many as, as they can just to avoid anything that might happen. but in general, those uh, the official resources are saying that there is nothing gonna be happening. uh, if they isolate the affected area and if they continue collecting the body and especially the bodies are dying from a natural disaster, not from a disease or something. that's that, that's when it's very dangerous. if, if something happens. yeah, that people haven't sharing videos of protests and they're not in social media. why

are people there so angry? right. actually the people are very angry because of the corruption in our luminous, both governments and then the wisdom governments, they are very devastated about. they are dealing with the what's happening and the even better say that again at the the house lemons and the head of the house of some of the mississippi keeping them down to the city council itself. so they are trying to uh, screen out loud to get down on the political. yeah. and they all have to leave their you're out of time. unfortunately though is nor else are we thank you so much for 1st year. so football now and the champions league retires on tuesday. this will be the final time ways the, the traditional group stage ahead of a radical overhaul next season. money is awesome. that designing factor when it

a possible super league that the group. meanwhile, saudi arabia, buying up a host of top names, such as name a, means your premier eclip competition will elect some stop power. but it's not all about money. ukraine checked, so don't ask, prove the even war in your home country. and the destroyed stadium cannot stop the desire to compete, they will play that champions. they come games in humbug, and also in germany. club own your own berlin in the 2nd division as recently as 2019 we'll hope to recover from 2 bundles. the defeats in a row when they make the competition debut, had reco champions, rail madrid on wednesday. many of us it's the 1st experience in time because we, we have to enjoy. but we don't have to forget that it's a football game. and in a football game, every, everything can happen and we want to surprise on the when. so total modern football or from feels like a true say to make the most money. but there are still occasional fairytales and
