a trip to north korea. and to said racing with came the latest demonstration of deepening toys between moscow and fuel. yeah, that throughout the series of the united states of june, closest since russia lost its full scale invasion of ukraine's finding friendship. i mean growing global life selection. but it's the relationship that spoken concerns in the west. south korean and us officials say the north has been feeding the russian booms. she's sending millions of munitions to must go. they say russia in baton has provided most career with military technology. and you can only kate in defiance of un resolutions. soul in washington have housing, emergency call to discuss the visit. but despite the western criticism, the kremlin said it has every right to develop ties with tone. yeah. and shouldn't be challenged for doing so. this comes this tensions on the korean peninsula.

steadly built the us and south career recently conducted joints. error exercises, teaching a b, one strategic boma to allow for the shooting for you did the 1st precision guided building drill in 7 years. south korea this month, scrapped and military packed with the news, allowing it to resume combat drills on the shared folder. so threats pod said it was responding to a biology of north korean blooms filled with vcs and trash that was sent towards the south. earlier i spoke about all this with james cheater and jake, i've seen welski that we used correspondence for east asia and russia, respectively. i began by asking zeros in riga what this new strategic partnership between russia and north korea could possibly entail. well, nicole, we don't know the color of the deal yet. it is expected to be signed tomorrow. but we do know that the thing it puts in his expect it in continuing this support that he's been receiving from north korea for his war effort against ukraine. we know

russia has used north korea may have missed the ballistic marseilles in and against ukraine and the west and south korea. a warning that this flaw of munition from north korea to russia is increasing. now as to the official relations north korea used to have a very close alliance with the soviet union. their friendship treaty at the time even included a close on automatic military assistance in case one of the sides wants to be invaded. these relations have cooled off significantly after the collapse of the soviet union. but we are now doing the war in ukraine. we are seeing the renewal and we will be observing tomorrow just how far the 2 sides will agree to go. officially, let's pass the ball over to james james. what is north korea as ruler, came down and hoping to get out of his deepening ties with fluttering foot and a look what i thinking the 1st instance,

one of the really critical things is going to be legitimacy. remember, it's a fairly rare occurrence to see the head of states of another country visiting appeal young and can join, being able to receive an international leader of this magnitude is housing points around this cations symbolic key. of course, when it comes to the material, things that can join and is going to be looking for the us and south korean officials. and the lead on to this was, this have been really stressing that concerned that in exchange for what they believe is north korean weapons transfers to russia to sustain its own going invasion of the of ukraine that russia in were ton is going to be offering assistance for the spice satellite program, it forwards weapons program. that would be, of course, in contravention of un resolutions. but the broad, a context, a devoted to a political context is that these are 2 countries that view themselves as natural bedfellows. now really that they view that the us will be in different environments is looking to rein in these 2 countries in concert with it's satellites,

whether that's nice. so in year or for the u. s. as in the pacific allies that in asia and the context of this, the backdrop we're going switch, this meeting is taking place is of course, rising tensions in the korean peninsula. some reports and concerns today that there was an exchange of fire across the team to try something between the 2 periods. those were a james taylor in the w's east asia, corresponding from taipei and jaguar. she manascale rochelle correspondence from rica and we will have more on that topic on ask the w at 60 now or cmt. so were your questions take center stage? if you join us on our youtube channel, you'll be able to submit questions and comments that i will then put to our panel of experts to don't miss out. but 1st, let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. the rain and nobel peace prize, lori of narc is more hummadi, has been sentenced to a year in prison for a publishing propaganda against the states. the activist has been in jail since november 2021,

for protesting against the leg atory and job for women. she spent much of the last 20 years in an out of jail for campaigning, for human rights in iran. at least 18 people have been killed in lance lives triggered by heavy rains across central america. el salvador, ecuador, and guatemala. had been hid, particularly hard with scores of people injured or missing. thousands more have had to evacuate their homes that are staying in temporary shelters. south korean government has ordered doctors to go back to work. i made a prolong strike. medical professionals have been participating in a month long striving to protest increasing medical school admissions. under the law doctor is defying the return to work order can face suspensions of their licenses to so don, now we're the ones of civil war has displaced more than 9000000 people and that

number is rising steadily. the u. s. has pledged $350000000.00 and an efforts to head off a famine. much of the violence is taking place in the long suffering dar 4 region with ordinary people, paying the heaviest price, war rages and so done as the power military rapids support forces fight to the government to control of the country. a conflict that has been going on for over a year. now. the contest in western region of the floor has been a major flash point. still scott, by a genocide that took place 20 years ago, also committed by militias. the medical charity doctors without borders says the city of al sasha's last functioning hospital was forced to close up to receive militants open fire on medical stuff, and patients. the international criminal court says it's investigating possible war crimes. the evidence my office is collected to date seems to show credible, repeated,

expanding. continuous allegations of attacks against the civilian population. in particular, attacks direct to the gains comes for internally displaced persons. it seems to show the wide spread prevalent use of rate and other forms of sexual violence. multiple attempts by the us to stop the fighting have failed, as both sides seem to still think they can win. meanwhile, the union has full in fashion with its goal in an appeal for humanitarian funds, while semen looms for more than 2 thirds of the population, the mala mala joined us earlier on the show. she's the chief humanitarian officer for care or organization is delivering tremendous hearing aids to suit all these people affected by the conflict. and i asked her to describe every day life in the country for us every day life into them. so a country of 45000000 people,

more than half of which allegedly need humanity and assistance more than 18000000 people are acutely hungry. this also includes $3600000.00 children quarter to the managed and every bossing day. with this ongoing conflict with all the struct id i'm with, i'm funded humanitarian response, but situation already gets worse, and a lot of them are getting closer to death. basic services even like, has are pretty much non existent. the system is on its knees and sent me say, one thing. this conflict has created a 100 women from gender. this one is to sexually widens displacement eating lease, not having as services. it is a lot on women. now the daily life it was before this crisis, before this one meter, people had hopes, dreams, aspirations. but now what we hear is about stories of this despair,

frustration of feeling of abandonment. we are hearing very extreme measures by people having to resort to eating slowly and even these and then just means no words. this humanitarian crisis is not because of a shortage on climate, didn't do with disaster or some bad harvest. all these factors have contributed certainty, but the only reason is ongoing conflict between the parties and destruction of humanity in a to the mileage you call it a war on women, there are reports, we heard it there of the widespread use of sexual violence against internally displaced persons your organization care focuses on gender and balances in conflict situations. what can be done in, in your opinion, to better protect the most vulnerable from these kinds of crimes as absolutely dom and goes have faced have been phasing and continue to phase the brand of this conflict, which includes section vitamins as a webinar for the 1st thing said it is need to be protected,

and secular wireless as a weapon of war must be stopped. the commitments made under the international humanitarian rule, and the recently voted un security council. resolution must be respected by 4 bodies to the conflict. each of us, each single one of our candidly who here, of course, the parties to the conflict have it in the fall, or to see the hostility. and that in the international community does play a role in 1st by not looking away. but i think this your money didn't response supporting women led organizations back towards get it does. because let's not think about women. as weekdays, they are the 1st responders in a crisis. it is not about the needs never was, never should be. it is about their rights, the 1st responders data on the ground, they know the problem, they understand the context and they have to solution. so let us come together to

strengthen them and prevent this humanitarian crisis to becoming a famine situation, which probably the world has not seen. and dickens as blood projections. i would not be surprised if things do not change. it could even be worse than the 20 live examine which we saw and somebody else has a wake up call from the mala mala to a few minutes here. an officer of care. thank you so much for your time. in the wake of heavy floods. brazil is now facing massive wild fires and the country's pond to no region. she wouldn't be a climate change and the new weather phenomenon have increased the risk of devastating blazes there. take a look now at how residents and some of the largest tropical wetlands in the world are dealing with a situation. is an ominous orange backdrop looms over brazil, sponsor now. wetlands. it reminds residents that the fire season has started earlier and with more fury than usual. the price to guthrie years ago,

the continental wasn't like this. it was supposed to be flooded and this year it didn't that complicated things. up until now which a sandwich between brazil, bolivia, and paraguay is the largest tropical wetland in the world. it's a mass of carbon sink and it's home to thousands of plans and animal species, many of them endangered in other biomes. it's normal for the region to have rein periods where the wetlands flood and dr. periods were some man made wildfire as breakout. but according to brazil's national institute for space research, the number of fires is especially high. this year. it has increased by more than 1000 percent so far in 2024 compared to the same period last year to keep it a full sofa. the now a key basically what's worry, some about the bundle now, is that due to climate change, the bottom has seen more dr. periods is charges going to because of that oxygen vegetation that would usually burn at

a certain period is burning more frequently. that came by the edge of june, 8th room seth to video like came equal mile for the queen and these fires are much bigger and much harder to control. and i said we to space is going to just be says you can't throw climates ridge can make droughts more likely and more intense in some parts of the world as we burn fossil fuels, the worse the atmosphere. and there's more of operation from land, and the warm or atmosphere can affect rain patterns too, so that it rains more in short birth that makes it harder for the ground to retain sol moisture over a longer period of time. for sale has also felt the effects of a natural phenomenon new. this complex windham temperature pattern in the pacific ocean can make the weather in parts of the country hotter and dryer, all in all the perfect conditions to make the woodlands highly flammable several months too early. for me saw people what others are. we already started the season

badly. the fun is it propagating very quickly. and we're worried about how the situation will progress in august, september and october. this year. experts urge the government to educate residents about the dangers of starting fires for small scale agricultural activities. because there's no knowing the damage they may cause as climate conditions where it's and batteries, christopher l file that report and joins we now here in the studio. the entries, how extensive is the drought that facilitate these wildfires? now the situation is really critical and a good way to look at that is look at the product y, which is the main river, the crossest, the wetlands. and right now, even though it's june and we're just kicking off of dry season, it's already 2 meters below the average water level. so that's very low. and usually the area surrounding the river would be pretty lush. so you know, that would be submerged with water, but right now we're already seeing, you know, the ground cracked dried ground. and that's where some for 2 reasons. first of all,

lots of animals, especially rough chileans and, and 50. and they need those humid wet spots to seek refuge and now they're running out of spots to hide. and then of course of the, those dry conditions kind of a, they push the perfect fuel for these fire, suspect really quickly and tell me why is it so difficult to extinguish a blaze in a wet land? is it because of those dry conditions or other other factors that play a role also, but it's also about acts of because it's a very remote area. so there's very few roads and usually the way across the pump. and now is by taking a boat through the rivers, but with the water level so low, that means that lots of, you know, large swath of the wetlands are inaccessible right now. and then now the results of the added factor of really strong winds, you know, blowing those fires if the best buyers are not broad under control. what's at stake . and, you know, lots of people don't know the front of now. and i just want to remind everyone, again, these are the biggest tropical wetlands in the world. and they're a very,

very unique place with huge biodiversity. and we saw in 2020 just how much we can lose when wildfire is get out of control. and you know, destroy massive parts of the pump. and also in that year, almost 30 percent of the vegetation of these massive wetlands were destroyed about $17000000.00 vertebrate animals by and so there were really horrible images at the time of, you know, burned in the 100 jaguars and eaters, of caymans. so that really just shows you what a historic clause for biodiversity that was okay, so we don't want that to happen again. what can be done to avoid those from occurring again and again. you know, looking at how the climate as involving i mean of 1st on a local scale, we need to be looking at fire management. it's very common for ranchers and farmers to use fighters to, you know, clear fuels to have more land. that's okay,

but they need to be educated more about how to control the fires or to also make the assessment when or conditions to drive to make one of those controlled fires. one is looking to get out of control, but if we don't want the pump now to turn into the mass of tinderbox, we also it to zoom out a bit and look at one of the root causes. and one of them is climate change. there's some evidence that suggests that climate change of making the front on how hotter it's making it more and more vulnerable. you know, the, we have the wet season in the dry season. they're both starting to become more extreme. um, so really there was an international responsibility here for it mean for everyone, but especially for high polluters to reduce the amount of fossil fuels that they're burning to stop eating the climate. because otherwise the conditions for wildfire is like different. those very uniquely rich biome are only going to become more and more common as batteries, christopher o'mara, dfw environment, dest, thank you so much. thank you. and some sports now,

while the euro 2024 football championship is in full swing here in germany, there is another tournament going on at the same time. a different version of the beautiful game with teams drawn from people who struggled with homelessness on the game is the same. the patient is the same, but inside home, the expands on your 2020 for a different type of tournament is underway. there's no glitz and no dilemma nor other 1000000 euro salaries. these plans will experience homelessness. and the really to get here hasn't always been easy. i used to play all my live you football . but the, when i, when i started taking drugs, i stopped in the director of importing the football. bought the api, i stopped the game. yeah. now i stopped the company, but i changed all my life. i stopped a football game organized by

a local charity and funded by donations 8 teams competing. they play for aside games with 27 minute tubs. so many football has given them a fresh start. i think that's, that's a duplicate. soon to see we have as a full point community in germany and other countries, that football is a place where people come together with so many different lives, which probably weren't fortunate. like like always maybe one does lucky as, as we all, maybe i'm to have full play us such a unifier to, to come together to celebrate the game we lost and said, so i'll just just be hopefully be, be playing football. i think that's the purpose of this event fans from the launch a euro tournament have turned out to show the support the week long the vein gives a chance for the so called beautiful game to bridge divides. 7 and for players from old background to she
