october 21st. i'm dw, the, the business dw news line from balance. thousands of civilians are killed in ukraine by russian rockets inside your friends presidency landscape denounced as the strikes as a brutal trunk. meanwhile, savanski purchased a key to ukraine on the agenda in spain. he's at a summit to offer you a p, a latest as funding for peaceful against russia's invasion, takes a his in washington. european climate scientists say this september was the hall to

us on right cold with warning by one research so that it's more than just the statistics. he calls it a death sentence for people and the closest. the gulf is welcome to the program and we start with some breaking news. at least 51 people have not been killed in a rush and strikes on the north east of ukraine. authorities. bass said the aerial attack struck a village, grocery store, and the cafe in the countries north eastern region countries. interior minister said the victims had been gathered at awake to remember a deceased village. let's cross to keith to talk to our correspondent, new comedy, nick uh, bought more. can you tell us about this attack? what sort of shocking image is doing the round zone?

ukraine social media, the body bags of the villages that floats out by the most services as more that's expected. one soul said that, so if i'm only 50, have died of a total of 60 people present at that wake in the village cafe in a community of just about $300.00 people. so she checked on that small village of cuz of the near coupons, in terms of what this weapon was, the initial report, this was a scan the russian ballistic missile. and that is incredibly difficult to intercept the splitting the cells basically for now can only be deceptive with the help of patriot missile systems of which ukraine and it has very few have driven by western countries so far. so basically, a place that is far away from the front lines, but totally under both of these kinds of attacks that can happen at any time. now, what strikes me? why is russia targeting such a village if it apparently has no strategic or any other military value?

if you look at russian social media of the kind of ministry blog as the often try to kind of put across the rushes points, if you notice, they claim that this was a funeral image screen will look to move to people in attendance at pictures done to japan of that out, lots of elderly people, lots of women, that credit reports now senior that this was a village of a native of that village who have been sold and who had lost his life. and so that was the way that was being held for this person. but more broadly, if you look at lots of places on the front lines, people are scared to come great in any kind of formula. learn for a funeral. we means place and if and so on, where even when the handling out was it's people who are without clean supplies, people try to organize it last minutes and don't and outs where it's gonna be because they say, any kind of congregation people that are seen, especially by drones, will likely provoke some kind of attack without tillery or with other weapons. this case, this, the place about force comes away from the front lines sincerely, they would have thought themselves a bit safer, but it just is

a reminder that there is nowhere in this country that is genuinely safe right now. to w, corresponded nathan connelly, we quoted from keeps the thank you very much. next, i mean, while ukraine's president allowed him is the landscape, has urged european leaders to remain united in their response to russian aggression at a summit in the spanish city of granada savanski. also off for further military age, stressing the need for additional ad defense systems. on a day, he had to announce the cottage of that's devastating russian missile attack. the summit is attended by 47 european leaders as a short sell a diety for you. frank is not expected to result in any binding agreements. w's, brussels bureau chief, i, some of phenomena is covering that summit in granada. them. tell us more about what's been going on, how students keep trying to rally multiples as well. there has been

a lot of activities, a lot of bilateral meetings. on the sidelines of this assignment in renada presidency. lensky spoke with representatives of the european union of different institutions. he also met with the french president with the german chancellor and again and again he was, we are sure that the european union is determined to stand alongside ukraine as long as it is necessary. we know the presidents of lensky set before the summit debt to what is now important for his country is to get additional air defense systems. and we are hearing that the german set chancellor was ask about that and indicated that germany would be ready to provide, provide to crane with some substance and such systems in the future. and we have to add steps. and in this case, visit is coming at a very crucial time, as here's our growing. that's the beginning q as selection come to include leads to

disruptions of the countries age for ukraine. and that to say your opinions might be needed. more mites needs to increase their health. some leaders here were ask about that. and today a said that they are aware of that. however, many of them were also voicing concerns, saying that you're up alone couldn't replace the u. s. h. now armenia and azerbaijan, i've also been focused because of the crisis around the goal in a car box. tell us more about these discussions that there seems to be some movement that we just heard from europe and council president. show me show who said that he is inviting the leaders of armenia and azerbaijan for talks in brussels by the end of this month. so apparently his confidence that the european union could be successful in trying to maybe to between the 2 parties to

reduce tensions in the region. we know that to the very president was invited to come to grenada. he declined, but now we are seeing some signals from the very government that they would be in the future willing to hold stokes with the you and our main. you are kind of a nom and they're reporting from granada and spain. thank you very much for that. summer rush as well on ukraine has prompted fair amongst is all the neighbors that they could be next, many boosting their defense capabilities in case off a possible russian attack, including latvia, which as a border with russia, it has seen a surgeon citizens joining the national gall to get military training and even those in civilian jobs are preparing for a worst case scenario that laugh in say no longer seems impossible. or correspondent terry schultz visited the country as it held annual nationwide

military and civilian exercises. mario lin are to his life plans didn't include taking up arms. i wouldn't call myself like, super patriotic until 2022. the only drills the popular let be an actress was practicing or her lines. so look at this, then russia launched war on ukraine, and suddenly when are they felt compelled to seek a new rule? soldier? what's the best coverage in the beginning as i have to ask these big questions for myself, but the, i realized the thing that is interesting for me that i want to do, i'm gonna bring deliver them the democracy. and i want to, i don't know, fi for that's in our day is among the thousands of latvians whose response to the russian invasion of ukraine was to become part of the national guard. the number of volunteers increased by a quarter. there's even a waiting list. bakers, teachers, professors, doctors, that we're one,

is willing to see what they can bring to the defense of themselves as a nation itself. colonel customers prudent says the significance of the nom, ace exercise, is that it involves many sectors in realistic crisis, simulations. we have training here in cities and capital city together was police border guards. one of the simple police was our rescue services and medical services. so all together, so we know some to call in times of crisis and how we go direct to different scenarios altogether. for example, emergency medical services personnel take part in table top war game exercises. so new communication, new communication channel and terms. it's about a about a cloud photo sense, but a good theme vol cruz's note. that is former reagan, the air martin stock is help integrate municipal leaders and the military and the readiness exercises. he says,

the necessity of that became clear after russia's 1st invasion of ukraine in 2014. they do understand that we have to show also to the east and neighbor said that we will not be the victims. the most important message for the, for the lead us for the may is, was that utilizing the army and that's, that's good. but this could be the situation that armies out of the city so. so what's to be the city of responsibility, which we're going to do, answers to those questions or what authority seek out each year with the nom, ace, exercise, incorporating lessons learned from watching what russia is doing now in ukraine. fueled also by their determination to never again experience the occupation they suffered after world war 2. mario leonard say wants to re societal awareness by combining her to identities writing and directing a play about military life. and process correspondence survey shows

a file that report jones has not from brussels at terry is the real fear among that beings that russia will not stop su crime? there certainly is a fear gearhart that if russia isn't stocked in ukraine, it wouldn't move on to the baltic states. that's always been their fear. and i think the stories that we've seen coming out today from spain, from, from the united states about so you know, fatigue and funding for ukraine makes these fears even stronger a lot the of the country that lived under rock russian occupation for 50 years. and while you can reassure them that they're a member of nato, now they are a member of the european union. now, there is still that sort of genetic fear that you know, you cannot be sure that it's not going to happen again. no call to of not be as population, not estimate russians. how does that factor into public opinion about the war? i looked up some polls on this because i also was, was curious about that. and those are some worrying statistics because it shows

that among the ethnic russian population of let be what you mentioned is a quarter of the population, only 27 percent of those people support ukraine. so that's an awful lot of putting supporters. they're living inside lot, the, a nato state, a european union state, and that's something that the government does have to worry about. at the same time, you saw the former re read the mayor there martin stock as during his period in office, he put up in ukrainian flag on every public building. and he said there was some outcry, particularly among the russian speaking population. and he doesn't get used to it. you're living in latvia and we support ukraine. so the ethnic russian population doesn't have any choice if they want to live in this country. they are going, their government is going to continue supporting. keep. now earlier this year, last year also brought back conscription for young men and i'll have to do military or civil service. how much of a difference will that make? i think it makes

a huge difference in terms of the number of people who are trained just in case and, and again they have these huge numbers of, of people volunteering to, to, uh, go into the military uh, as reserves and the national guard. but this will make sure that a huge proportion of the population now wouldn't be ready to take up arms again. we should emphasize that nobody's thinks russia is going to come in data. nato state any time soon, but it left the it is the last of the 3 baltic states to reintroduce conscription? it's donated, did it right after re independence and 9091 lithuania? did it after russia's 1st invasion of ukraine in 2015. so it is sort of like, it was expected that lot via may do that sooner or later. and finland of the remaining border state up there never did away with conscription, it's been lens males have always had to serve in the military. so this isn't really surprising along those front line states. so do you think lafayette would be ready in case of a russian attack?

let me a definitely wouldn't be ready. and in fact of this exercise that, that i visited was really remarkable in that every person in lot be a, not just the military stands ready. you've got the emergency prepared services, you've had the schools discuss this, they have really gone into every sector of society. they call it comprehensive defense. and they, they're making sure that everyone would know what to expect. even though we must say that this is not something that's expected that results then in brussels. thank you very much, terry. to the last month, september 2023. he was the hottest september on record. that's according to you climate scientists, the copernicus program has produced the studies showing that the average global temperature of the past month was higher than any of recorded by the european space agency. the data also show this 2023 is on track to be the hottest year on record.

or one of the reports also has called it a death sentence for people and ecosystems. the report comes less than 2 months before what lead is meet for the global finance and the lady i spoke to a colleague, one temple is the director of the copernicus, climate change service at the european center for medium range weather, full costs. i. austin, why the latest figures show such a sharp rise in temperature or? well, this ear has been a big deal during this credit applied. so we have seen the we're missing the record, but this comes up there us some of those records. so we started with a very unusual temperature in houston as if he has april. and then we got a bait for him to reduce our hopes and each facing the north atlantic. not only in the pacific, and then we got the were miss months of records entered. i followed by the were mist focused on record. so in a sense, the system there is not the exception like this is a distracted piece of it could be something,

but they need to tell who's quite exceptional because the no money, the difference between the temperature appeasement and detect the typical temperature of, of september in the last 30 years is huge. he's especially not present in, you know, work and never record is a very large increase that you were say to. and the number of factors that contribute to this new record. why was which is the nino that is increasing the temperature of use in the pacific? and we know that the nino, which has sidney periodic, a sedation temperature, the pacific blue reached the maximum around christmas, but on top of a new 30. so i've really got the kind of system that is to a large extent, due to the entropy attended conditions. so it's the number of factors that are competing. but these trends push us over over the age. i mean, what i'm, if i'm sorry if i, if i might interrupt you the, what strikes me if it, in, in recent months and also if i just look at this program today,

we're talking about slugs in india with talking about dying dolphins in the amazon . the hold of september and reco, they'll be going to have a look at the tie food in asia, arrive after interview, all these things connected. you think? i in the sense, i mean often we use the expression to be are in uncharted territory, but i think it's difficult to find a more l. ready depiction, northeast on truck 3rd through this year. so we are now to sit down. there was 1.75 degrees above pre industrial. so we are way above the one thing by degrees of the buyer's agreement, or the definition of different. so the, by the government talks about the long term methods and we're talking about a months yet. but in a sense, it's telling us that we are viewing anything we have seen. so not only in, in my professional experience of the last with years. but the no human leaving humans as, as any ever experience, anything like that and possibly be able to push a bit further. i don't think any, any, any time you know where you,

st. pat's going to be either a seeing a temperature seemed to be one of the experiences now. so we are in the center of the 3rd through mtv confusing the entity, the find the system brings all sorts of chains. so the device and the sea levels, the increasing the intensity of the most intense precipitation, the med thing of the glaciers. the loss of these are all connected. i took a number of years. we do expect the stressful to be reached between the next decade . no. by the 23rd. and so the question is not so much whether this would be interesting do this. no, does he have given the region exceeded $1.00, but rather out the, you have a suit about $1.00 would be and no sooner would be able to record and go below once inside to get it. and these lots depends on how quickly would it be able to happen to have a nice. all right, so let me finish the notes here, collarbone, type of as a direct, roughly comparing because climate change a service. thank you very much. thank you. thank at least one

person has been killed and more than 300 injured one, tie phone call, you buy land full and sell them. tie with southern taiwan. the island registered the fastest wind ever recorded as the storm, broad pounding, rain and strong winds. casino means poppy and japanese. i see that i will take, it may have a company name what type from cooling new pack, plenty of bite as a tour through tie one with crushing winds of close to 350 kilometers per hour. southern pink dog county and the hardest hit the type boom, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake and hundreds of thousands of homes without power . there was an outage, then another one and then another one. then there was a loud bang. that's when the utility bought a fence. the wind was strong, very, very strong and identifying. but it was orchard island where cornel really buried

said he'd found faucet to inform him of his winning while he was driving at the countryside. that false a promise to drive home hastily the academy in stockholm said false, it was honors to both his place and his prose. which it described as rooted in the language and they took off his norwegian background to use the academies announced so develop size and literature for 2023 is awarded to the new wage and all of the young foster for his, an over to phase and prose. which gave him a voice to the unstable. okay, i have started here from all across the department to talk more about this very latest nobel prize coming up. can you tell us more about 1st the end as well? yeah, so he's, as you mentioned, you know, basically contributed so much to the literary canon is incredibly prolific writer. he's been translated into more than 40 languages. some of his notable works in terms of fiction or titles like melancholy or this apology series of novels. he's

got a very unique style, very mystical, somewhat in kansas, tory and very influenced. as you just said by the norwegian landscape, he's apparently the most performed. um norwegian play right after henrich. it seems on us, of course quite a quite a legacy. and 2 very interesting things about him. at the age of 7, he had a near death experience. he was involved in an accident and, and he says that the experience really is what made him into an artist. so we'll probably learn more about that as we go forward and know more about him in general . he writes in 9 or excuse another interesting thing that's called new norwegian so that some minority language is spoken by only about 10 percent of the population in norway. and it was developed back in the 19th century with rural dialects as it's based without in itself is really interesting because it's, it's very much a political but also a cultural act. and this prize seems to be recognizing that seems to be recognizing language as a carrier culture, interest supervisor. but was he on, on,

on your list of likely kind of, you know, he was indeed, but i definitely was thinking that his colleague, i got a soul's touch was more likely to win because he's 82 years old. he's largely considered to be sort of the greatest living norwegian writer and is reviewed by people like a call over canals. god who was also kind of being talked about who was actually a student of the was still on the 1st of don't fall say at some point. so the 3 of them were being talked about. and at 64 years old, the young foster is in the middle and he was the one that was given the place at the royal residence by the king. so i guess that's definitely a bit in his favor that talks about the people who are on the, on everybody else's list. so someone rusty, why do you think he missed out again? yeah, well, he's been discussed for a number of years. um, but i think quite frankly that the academy for of figured he was just too much of a risk and they don't like to be dictated to. so he's being talked about too much. that's almost a sure sign that he's not going to get it. he's more than just are deserving. all

surprised, but i'm associated with so much violence. and of course, with so much political turmoil, the academy is never really been a beacon of the statements on free speech in his regard before. and i think they would argue that's what their job, they're focusing really on the literary merit which assessment. they're definitely there with rusty, but i don't expect deposition to change too much on that calculation price, perversity is that he's getting the german peace prize piece. the price is determined booksellers this year, so he's definitely being recognized one of the friends very briefly. any other uh on the short list that you would have liked to have assistant to there? yeah, i'm hopefully, 1st of all we're mostly biased canadian margaret atwood waterford my favorite and i think, you know, last just winter, any of no, was only the 17 women to get the prize since it has been awarded in 19 o one. i think they could do a few more to

a little bit more towards balancing things. i would so, but anyway, she's $83.00 and still going strong shop as a whip i'm. i'm assuming she's got many more years chance kind of helped with that culture. thank you. very much con tasha or you're watching dw, see as a reminder of all top stories at this hour. at least 51 people have been killed in a russian strife on the north east of ukraine. that's according to official stats. craney and state prosecutors said the aerial attack struck a village, grocery store and cafe in the countries north. east them have teeth reached and ukrainian president load them is the landscape is in granada, spain, where he will lobby a summit of 50 european lead us for support on more weapons deliveries and the promise of the new members on coming up next. indeed, the news a is a business on amazing terms, how china is hitting for
