the case of europe's children accusing the grownups of not doing enough to stop climate change. the brink off is good to have you. with this on this wednesday, the us soldier private travis king, who dashed in to north korea from south korea back in july, is now on his way home to the us north korea expelled king after 2 months of detention for illegally intruding on its territory. he was transferred to united states personnel. the neighboring china is expected back at a texas military facility by early thursday. here's what we heard from the us state department about how travis keen was brought back into us custody. we appreciate the professionalism of our diplomats, who worked with their counterparts to the department of defense and coordinated
9:02 pm
with the governments of sweden and the people's republic of china. and we think sweden and the people's republic of china for their assistance and facilitating that transfer. he is now on his way to the united states and we expect him drive in the coming hours. all right, let's go to washington the, our correspondent, janelle, to molly on it's following this story force, you know, do we know any details? what has the, what is it ministration? told us exactly why north reassigned it to get rid of the soldier. well, we know that the release happened overnight were told that travis king is in good health and in good spirits. we don't know exactly why north korea has decided to do it at this particular moment. but as we heard there in the sound bites, we heard the us government thanking the government of sweden and china for helping to secure a travis king's release. we don't know exactly who did what,
9:03 pm
but we know that sweden would have played a key role in negotiating, considering that sweden usually negotiates on behalf of the united states with north korea. because north korea and, but you west have no diplomatic relations. there is no us embassy in killing young . we also know that it was sweet and who told the u. s. that taught travis king was about to be deported. we're told that an intense period of diplomacy followed. and that brings us to today, where he's on his way to that military facility in texas. as you said, do we know what's expected to happen to him once he arrives back on the us territory of the well is that part really is unclear. now if we look back onto parts of his story, we know that he was stationed with his unit in south korea and then detained for 2 months over assault charges. he was been released on july time
9:04 pm
a week later he was meant to go back to the us to face disciplinary proceedings, but he managed to evade his guards. and instead of boarding the plane to the u. s, he decided to join a tour of the dom militarized, soon between north and south korea, and that's when he crossed over into north korea. now the military of course, declared him absent without leave, which means that you could face further punishment, like all the forfeiture of his pay, like this honorable discharge. he could even face more time in military jail and whether he's going to be punished separately for this action for actually going into north korea is also unclear. but us officials have said that, that before any further decisions are taken on travis king. the priority is providing him with medical aid and psychological aid, and we're uniting him with his family. all else will follow later. and, you know, considering the changes between the us and it, north korea, it's surprising,
9:05 pm
isn't it, that the north korea was willing to give up a us soldier to begin with. and that the, this situation was resolved so quickly indeed, there was some amount of surprise there were many who were expecting travis, king, uh, to be held a bit longer. that he could have been used as a bargaining chip, especially as relations between you, between the us and north korea. deteriorate over north korea is accelerating nuclear program over the u. s. has expanded joint military exercises with south korea, but there's also this reading about, travis king, was not a high value asset. and at some point perhaps the north koreans decided that he wasn't worth the trouble and expense of keeping. he needed food. accommodation guards and translators as a for the us, as part. so they've been, they've taken pains to point out that they don't see his release as a breakthrough in us and north korea and relations at all. they see this as
9:06 pm
a one off occurrence, and they say no concessions were made to north korea in securing travis kings release right now. but the lady's there in washington. we appreciate your reporting . thank either way, john says that it has arrested a former leader of the newborn o cover block regent as he was trying to enter armenia. reuben board done yet. is a millionaire who made most of his fortune in russia. his detainment comes as almost a quarter of newborn, and kara bux, ethnic armenian population, fleas, the region authorities saves them. 47000 people have already left the or of the streams of cause continue to arrive at the all meaning. and buddha, some of them have been waiting in line for days to reach safety. as a by jones military take a bit of the break way region of nicole new camera back last week. prompted

9:10 pm
a 100 people were killed and more than a 150 injured in a blaze that witnesses a could have been started by fire works char debris, now blocks the hall where hundreds of guests had gathered for a wedding, the ceiling blabs onto the guests, a darning celebration, to carnage. more than a 100 people are dead, including the bride and the groom. eye witnesses said the fire broke out as the wedding couple were on the dance floor and move it. and how did this happen? well, i should have what i got. i mean, what can i say? they were about to do a slow dance with us. so they only the fireworks sometimes die, the one that hit the ceiling, which caused fire, rotors done. how long did it take?
9:11 pm
seconds up. the entire whole wasn't fire and the 2nd survivors were rushed to hospitals to be treated for burns and smoke inhalation. as rescue workers sift through the rubble authorities are investigating the tragedy . jody, a. the investigation is ongoing. the reason for the fire was that fireworks was said off inside the whole fireworks. we used in the not unusual way. 5 words and not to meet it outside the whole little line using them inside that laid to the building of the ceiling which fell on the people inside the hole in the bottom. concerns mount as illegal highly flammable building materials may have fuel the rapid spread of the fire in the wedding hall. meanwhile, family members have assembled once more delayed their loved ones to rest. just
9:12 pm
a day after they had come together to rejoice at the wedding in russia's invasion of ukraine is change to the face of conflict in many ways, one of which is the key role, drones or play. ukraine says that it has already trained $10000.00 soldiers to remotely flying surveillance emissions, or carry out the tax. and dozens of different drones systems ended aims to double that number in the coming months. it's not just expensive military grades, drones either cheap consumer grade. you a, these are also making a major difference on the battlefield dw, correspond m i t is building your visited one test site where it keeps air force of drones is preparing for future campaigns. the 1st, the nimble, and they can be deadly. pablo puts, it can be cause a drone through its paces. if it passes the test,
9:13 pm
this drone will go to the ukranian army would be loaded with explosives and flowing into the rest and talk. it would be easier for you to crush it before adequately and remain fully under control. we don't have any complaints. definitely the motor temperature, remainder of in parameters and the battery pack didn't overheat. pablo is the head engineer for i t drone. a company that produces cheap jones for the ukranian army a, it's what you could call an i'm and started the amount was founded at the beginning of the war. they work closely with the ukrainian on a few tests like this self and attended by. so just really just same with the fish we're using anything that could bring us closer to
9:14 pm
victory number that could be drones. that could be anything else. i can give me a little, but we keep trying different things and we probably use anything back in the 600 units, 2000 and with a v i, teacher one is one of many ukrainian startups trying to provide such options. none of its employees, nor it's found that had anything to do with jones before the war when russia invaded or lexi so what you're a business man planned to join the territorial defense forces. yeah. you know, they, i'm, i went to the trenches and started working and recognizance. yeah. for the. yeah, that's when i clicked it and i stood that the army was lacking. and we started production will surely they might, they make joins in different shapes and sizes depending on the task. the company causing drones loaded with explosives that crushing to that target surveillance to that just which drones that can drop small bumps instructions on moving
9:15 pm
a drone can be found online. the rest is improvisation. try that era and logistics on the most fundamental challenge is consistency. we con, pretty much the 1000 drawings of the same type of move on. i know, but we might produce a $300.00 and then run out of some parts of the system that most of our suppliers don't want to expand their production for them. some of the ones that we have to use a different one each under the circumstances, it is a challenge to guarantee quantity of the stuff they do their best to repair drones, damage during testing or in service. they can't afford to waste anything. whole pots are precious. most of the electronics come from china, whose government leads towards russia. this one has already been refurbished, but it is unstable in the air and keeps thrifty even
9:16 pm
though the 2nd time i try to find, normally i will drop the bomb and bring it back to the the survival. the drum will go back to the workshop and hope that this time is spare parts. it needs to go. so when the front lines 6 young people from portugal are taking the entire european union to court. now, there between the ages of $11.24, and they're accusing you countries of doing to level to stop global warming in action that they argue is a violation of their basic rights. 6 young people and their lawyers against the 2 countries. they say simply on doing enough to stop global warming, these activists have come to strasbourg to all the use of the climate policies of oil, the e u. member states, as well as britain, switzerland, norway tacky, and russia, a so inadequate the violating that human rights. today's case
9:17 pm
is about the young. this is about the place that they are paying for the failure of states to tackle the claimant's emergency. it says about the home that they will suffer during their life times unless these step up to their responsibilities a group range and aid from $11.00 to $20.00 full remove to bring that case by the huge wildfires. and then they took portugal back in 2017. more than a 100 people died with scientists and climate change that made the flies was. now the activists are hoping the european quote of human rights can false governments to drastically accelerate the efforts to combat global warming. you, when has warned current targets put the world on cost, but catastrophic climate breakdown? sped what i expect from government all the time while i'm going to shop for something that is real is a, this is
9:18 pm
a main problem because it's so infringing on our human right? it's most the day, 2 months. i declare a full that can happen. they'll need to persuade the quotes the judges of the case with lawyers for the defending governments. arguing the 6 young activists have improved a direct link between the homes. they say they've suffered, and that climate policies don't wanna fully nail marco's or young. he's a human special rupture on tactics and human rights. he teaches an international environmental law at george washington university. mr. or young. it's going to have you with this. you are not part of this case. we want to make that clear. but in a written submission to the court, you stated that this case is a historic opportunity to guide action to fight the climate emergency. why do you think that is? it's a thank you for having me. well, the, the case going to have a significant impact because it can't allow the european court of human rights to articulate what are 1st principles on the human rights responsibilities of states.
9:19 pm
and in regard to climate change. the court could also order states to do more, to confront the global crime of prices. there are minors here as plaintiffs. and that struck me was always looking at this. i shouldn't their parents actually be the ones it's played is taking the you to court or does it make a difference? it, it makes no difference to the, the, the court and the human rights regime is open to victims of being able to seize the mechanisms of protection in order to vindicate protection for the right. the arguments posed by the miners in the climate change will have a significant impacts on their lives. i see aggravates during their lifetimes, is, is a, is a strong one. it is, it is well established by scientific evidence,
9:20 pm
but over the coming years there will be increasing droughts. sheet waves and children are in the fence line. so for bearing the brunt of, of those impact. is there any precedent into this case where you have young people taking countries, taking, growing up to court for failing to take action to protect the next generation? or there are cases where miners have utilized human rights arguments and, and commissions in order to see protection against the threats of climate change up. what i would also serve as a, the case builds on decades of interaction between human rights and the environment . it is well established that environmental degradation can infringe on a number of internationally protected human rights. and it is similarly well
9:21 pm
established that states have an obligation to address before cbl risks posed by environmental degradation. what's unprecedented here is the application of these principles to find the change, and would it be a success for these young plaintive, if the court were to say, it is a human right to expect countries in adults to take action to protect future generations? well, that is certainly a possibility we, we have seen the national courts and european countries like the netherlands and in germany, ordering governments telling governments that they're not doing enough that they should defend the emission reductions. and that is because addressing the global climate crisis will require deep and rapid reduction in, in the emissions of greenhouse gases, to be honest, here,
9:22 pm
mr. macos or younger. we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight. thank you. my pleasure. thank you. so it is definitely one of south america's most beautiful sights, and one of it's important sources of fresh water. but now lake taca is in danger of disappearing all together. the lake lies in the andes, mountains on the border between bolivia and peru. it's the biggest body of water on the and the input tote. but over the last few decades it's water levels had been dropped. the area is currently experiencing its dryness period in almost half a century. and that's threatening the indigenous communities to rely on it for their livelihood. lake to the car is drying up. trout and high temperatures. mean water levels are approaching in all time low. that's affecting the indigenous communities in the area. pedro can to,
9:23 pm
has formed here for 60 years. he's increasingly concerned about the lack of rain. we've had the language to, it's very serious. the lake is shrinking in depth and width at the same time frame work 2 years ago with always reigned as you now. it doesn't rain anymore. all right, you're in recent years, the lake has been losing water at an alarming rate. on the left side are images recorded by d, w in 2022 on the right, the same area a year later, there's not a drop of water inside the in 2001, there was water up to the community over there called lakaya. this is emma, like the water, had risen up to that point and it was all covered by the lake. now there is no longer water orders already disappeared. this happened seats soundly through the drawing lands have caused the changes to the agricultural cycle the same. but i'm
9:24 pm
lucky if we normally plant potatoes here. well, themes, farley schema again with everything that grows here. look good, but now we can't grow anything. me photo build this bill out on the screen. interesting grandmother the animals are left to eat dry grass. the ends of what else? we can no longer live here with our animals and we just cannot live here with the cattle anymore. let's see what's going to figure out. another thing mostly is jose luis montano from bolivia is institute of hydraulics and hydrology, says the climate change is to blame. everything came in to elect him to the increase in temperature due to climate change is causing an increase in the evaporation rate that's on the buckboard. i see on is this either? that means a greater amount of water evaporating about brandon. therefore,
9:25 pm
there was a reduction of the water surface on like to talk us with, if you to the i was the like, what did you catch up? many people here feel hopeless. some have already left. this is the, the names easily. we have sons and daughters. and most of them go to the capital, a pause to buy or to another country. you can't live here anymore. and then there isn't even pastor pedro kinda feels abandoned and we're not digging us. i you? nobody helps us. yeah. yeah. it would be great if the government did something, but they don't even come to see what happens here. and i think it, i've is pedro once an irrigation system. but while he waits for the government, but he prays for rain. and that's what i see as far as he's now at the agent games in china. rising chinese swimming star young, far as bank to more record bridging gold metals. john won her 3rd gold. when she
9:26 pm
finished the 100 meter of butterfly and the new asian games record time of 55.86 seconds. she was also part in china. is gold metal winning mixed 4 by 100 meter mentally really squad. that cruise to victory and record saw germany's noise while i'm still in castle that welcomes millions of visitors from around the world every year. most of them a ride by bus. but the germans guy, the ivr max minor, we thought that was rather boring. so he decided to detach himself from paraglider in mid air and he zipped past the fairytale castle into bavarian out at 200 kilometers an hour in a wing suit. after the 17 2nd flight, he landed safely in a nearby meadow. just like you would at disney, like as you're watching dw, lose, live it from berlin. i'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news. but
9:27 pm
1st, every binder of our top story, north korea, saying that it will expel us soldier, travis king, who crossed into the north in july, well serving and south korea authorities. i'm telling you that he confessed to entering the country illegally because he was disillusioned with the us. will be back at the top of the the
