the hello and terry martin, good heavy with us rushes for an intelligence surfaces accused president laudermill zalinski of taking quote, insane steps that threaten escalation of the conflict. far beyond the region, ukraine's president says his troops are now taking the war to russia, where they control a 1000 square kilometers of territory in the course region. thousands of russians moving to cypher places. as the cranium troops seize, control of dozens of the village was revolting to a russian president vladimir putin. the governor of quotas said, ukraine had widened its area of control and the stage showed images. thoughts of the situation in the course of agent is difficult to understand. 28 such

a minute. so on the enemy control was with somebody sitting on the, on the bus, the bus that was no clay foot line. and the problem we have is understanding where the enemy combat units are, or thousands of ukrainian troops rammed through the russian border last week into the coast region. with tanks of vehicles that have now advanced into neighboring belgrade. ukraine says it controls about a 1000 square kilometers. that's an area bigger than new york city, around coast alone. the surprise attack, expose the weakness of russian border defenses in the area. president, for all of them, is a lensky who only acknowledge the incursion over the weekend, says ukraine will also schuman to terry and assistance to evacuate. he's on the ukrainian side of the board and the russian army is scrambling to contain the breach and has been forced to call in reserves. it has what do you submit to is of

what it says strikes on ukrainian tanks in cost. but 14 says most goes on me, will prevail, a suitable symbol doing people. i'm sure it appears that the enemy was the help of the west and must as is fulfilling the will on the west as pricing is with the hands of the ukrainians green. so the book, so anyway, you would see the enemy will get a decent response and all goes will be achieved. the meanwhile, russian volunteers are distributing humanitarian aids to imaculi's, arriving at temporary accommodations, making them painfully aware of the impacts of a role that protein has tried to shield them from jill awhile ago i spoke with our correspondence on you found in ukraine's capital. keep, i asked her for the latest developments in the war when teddy, we've had

a number of i read a lot of 12 to night and really would discontinued into the morning here in the cap cookies as well as in many regions of ukraine. um, i really don't think a lot of people here got a lot of sleep last night. we're using in the ukraine and media that russia carried out beside him and it strikes overnight, a targeting infrastructure in. so we that is the northern region and ukraine. the border of the coast region where your printing troops, the carrying of this incursion, know, emergency services on the site. we don't know the extent of the damage. but military officials here to also saying that overnight russia launched with this to gave me messiahs and dozens of sha had goals. many of them were reportedly shut down. i think this is fault if you pray and of course, bracing for retaliation from russia off. that's kind of surprised incursion into that. uh, coast commodities. and what do you cranes, political, and military leaders say about the push into russia? sonya are willing to sign off just

how big is the scale of this incursion is we heard yesterday from ukraine? stop. i'm going to take a bundle and extend the 50, and he said that the queen all controls 1000 square kilometers in the closest region. he's also said that offensive operations there are continuing. we've had several reports suggesting that causes of you creating troops and tanks and 7 ukrainian military with data now involved in this operation we heard from president litski as when last night he in his evening address. he has to be, you don't acknowledge the offensive and said the operation course is, is a real catastrophe for presidents 14. now, so lensky hasn't said much about the kind of goals and motives behind this incursion. he's kind of framed it as a way of pushing the wall back into the a graceless territory. he's talked about rusher having used the coast region to launch, you know, more than 2000 abriel strikes on you created territory this summer. and he's, you know, said that this is about a responding to that,

and this is about bringing the war closer home to russian in for to ordinary ukrainians. make this development. sonya, how do they feel about their country's troops now finding inside russia within the symbolic level? i think the incursion and culture because suddenly great or ukraine's more all now, did you credit into the i've spoken to ensure in keys. many of them seem almost taken aback of by this kind of shift in the one that attends off to you know, months so bad news and set backs on the bible for you. this lovely children it's on . this is something we've also heard from residents of the northern you paid in region of to me with a resident southern evacuated because of the ongoing fighting in the neighboring coast region. and i think one of the mean talking points here, among ordinary premiums is really kind of the pilots and supplies elements around this incursions. this is in sharp contrast to the highly publicized need up to the

you don't for you do create income to offensive loss skills. so i think this is certainly welcome use of where you pay sonya, thank you. that was our correspondence, sony, public, a and ukraine's capital key. several european union countries including france and italy, are sending assistance to help greek authorities. combat the wildfires encroaching on athens firefighters, and covered the body of a woman in a burnt health factory in athens, suburbs. the health ministry confirms dozens of people were injured as a plain spread rapidly. fire chief say they are no longer battling a single fire, but many rather many localized places. entire neighborhoods, north of the capital had been evacuated. the residents could only watch as huge flames and call this warehouse one of several properties destroyed in the massive fi a matching towards the greek capital via cruise,

a working frame to clean you to battle the plays with people pitching into help wherever possible. i like what are we trying to save all the houses around the pa, from hours it's a difficult situation. the firefighters and everyone here trying the best. the thing is you can't find the nature as much as he stood up as this and get the reply . not in the house next door, the trees were on fire. i don't know what happened because we were told to leave, but the situation is tragic, but significant. you came 6 smoke names, residents can only hear and not see. even nearby helicopters, working disliked the fires, strong winds intended dry conditions have made that bring the blaze is specially tricky. with flames stretching, moving 25 maces high in some places. june

and july, with the horses month, either recorded in greece, which also recorded its rule. mister winter, either the fire is estimated to have been through about $15000.00 hick days of land and area. a logic then man has health is on its way from april e u. countries from italy and the check for public are among those seeming equipment and assistance. thousands of residents remain on standby as the fi, a 3 times more homes. and several athens hospitals being prepared to take casualties or correspondence. so if you're cliff tacky, is in athens and spent the past few days in the affected area. she gave us this update on the fires this morning as well. the situation remains is very,

very critical. terry, this morning. so 5 forces worked um around the clock throughout the night and still this morning we have several friends and also the fires claim. their 1st victim of a 60 year old woman which was trapped in the building. she was working in the area of the laundry, and right now the creations are going on and it's extremely difficult. and as the wind is still very, very strong. i'm in the, in the city center of athens right now. but in the, in the affected areas around and now there are several of the residents are still there trying to protect property, fire forces operating there and it's still very, very tens. um, everything seems not under control. by now, at least now, the athens metropolitan area has over 3000000 residents. is the capital prepared

for the fires to come even closer? well prepared to um, to react to the situation when it comes to cleaning vegetation to, to setting up a fire breaks. however, that has been a criticism, especially by residents, not only by the affected areas to make a long term plan in order to react as this is not something unusual during the summer months of the greek government, she has requested help from you partners what, what kind of support is needed as well, a different kinds of support. of course, on the one hand, i ariel fire forcing such equipments, such as water bombing and plains helicopters, of course, and on the other side of course, ground troops. so people specialize in managing and extinguishing those high scale

of fires and also in the several next days, maybe also when it comes to coordination and on the ground. we know we've seen fire fires raging around athens different parts of greece in past years during the summer. how does the situation this year compared to the other year? so if you indeed, so this year it's particularly severe. as i said, it's nothing unusual during the summer months in athens, however, there are several reasons why this year is particulary a difficult. so 1st of all, at the very long heat waves we had which started very early this year, incoming nation with the dry weather conditions, a very strong winds were days. and of course the capacities of the fire forces so offensively and the czech republic sent out and also romania, turkey,

and serbia are sending help today, which shows that the situation is a very severe and everyone's still on high alert. so if you, thanks very much that was the w as so if you clip truck in athens, let's take a look at a few other stories making headlines around the world today. local social organizations in venezuela say at least 7 people died and 4 are missing. after a gas explosion in one of the country's largest slums, the last tour through a 3 story building on the outskirts of the capital crocker's firefighters say, a domestic gas cylinder trigger explosion. iran's foreign ministry is dismissed calls from france, germany of the u. k. to exercise restraint amid warnings of an eminent or rainy and attack on israel. instead called on european countries to quote, stand against the war and gaza ran, blames israel for the killing of hamas,

his political chief, and to run last month and his vile to respond. coast court in costa rica has intercepted a similar submersible bustle carrying 2 tons of cocaine of the country, southern coast to colombians and one ecuadorian citizen had been arrested. the suspects attempted to sink the best old ones cornered by authorities and the long musk has blamed a cyber attack for technical difficulties during an interview with former us president donald trump. on his social media site x. the interview was intended to reinvigorate trumps bid for the presidency, but was delayed by 45 minutes. most can build the interview as a quote. no limits conversation after endorsing trumps bid last month impossible. both. at least 24 people, including children, are now known to have been killed in the again, in capital compiler when a landfill collapsed after heavy rains again and president,

you're wearing the 70 ordered investigation into the disaster. julius mcguire ma has this report from con pano as as the police excavate this time, the garbage. which bar it is home, you're sure i recall hopes that his wife chose bodies can be retrieved. gotcha, and um, could i be the oldest i found a mountain of waste where my hose watch to do, but i felt confused and overwhelmed. they do need somebody to friends, my neighbors sneak, why the job? there must be many people buried under the waves because this was a highly populated neighborhood. by the way, did the renewal, it will go into got that when you combine your risk, you what cause of to dig through heaps of trash, looking for victims and the number of date is expected to rise. and that's why you see. so it's good. i think that people waiting the city of the audi q, so we have still here and was do it's been what it was. so what you see

behind me started as a very deep pete's. what about 200 feet below the surface? over the, as it has turned into a mounting of waste. this is what chromebook down and people's homes managed by the k c. c, compiler city authority that you choose the landfill is located right in the middle of a residential area. many houses deal with 20 boundaries. residents now wanted to relocate its got big issue to stop being dumped in what? 82 days. that is, the only thing we've done, we are requesting to govern me on to cuz you see a force to store your story, to say that more than a 100 families have been displaced. some victims and no house in temper show it as in germany's air force has been taking part in air drills in india,

along with nato partners including friend spain and the u. k. is 1st time german forces have held exercises with india, w center of faith as well as more to touch the sky with glory. that's the chosen motto of india. the air force, many of its tie to jets are refreshing, are rich, and with a fleet of close to 2000 aircraft. it's the 4th largest in the wood off to the us, russia, and china. for the past week, the indian air force has been hosting for europe and nato countries and the big joint address. and it's a base and sewer in the southern states of time. united amongst the guest, germany's air force, which made india the last stop of its pacific skies exercises the air force chief himself to one of germany's your real fight tests from malaysia to india.

from the german perspective, the joint maneuver is much more than just an ad, right. it's also a political and strategic statement. we see that this area of the pacific is a very, very important area for basically the whole good. and we want to work with partners to make this area safe to eric. this is the 1st time german forces to have participated in any maneuver in india. germany had long been hesitant about close defense cooperation with india, mainly because of the cost me a conflict and human rights concerns by direct us invasion of ukraine and shyness actions and the into pacific have really shifted strategic thinking. i think, you know, it is a very, i'm really broad in between right now. you need partners across the globe not only in europe that really with whom you share the same values. and india, in a way,

is a democracy with the state be democracy with the very sound constitution sounds democracy . we switch the share many, many views on the world, and just like germany, india is looking at new partners as relations between russia and china grow noticeably. wilma, india is seeking, reliable, allows to address its own china challenge and it's in the ring for the disputes. but the indian ad she is quick to emphasize that the exercise is not directed against anyone. and i don't think we are training to operate against any one particular nation. auto redwood city is just the answering the interoperability and, you know, enhancing the, the but i'll mean between the f was this parameter. but in the us also in western countries like germany for potential students as it seeks to castle the distance itself from its largest supply of russia. ukraine,

war and west and sanctions have made deliveries of space and munitions much more difficult. any kind of the technology transferred to joined wrenches is always welcome. we would like to partner with the industry that can offer as uh, more of know how better than just no way. and any, any partnership is most welcome. in short, both india and germany view the intensifying defense cooperation is crucial in the rapidly changing global order. and dw sandra page has been filed, that report is at solar air force station in india. now following the joint exercises solver, what's the purpose of these exercises? what kind of scenarios are the countries involved preparing for you see, that's precisely the point, terry. all the people that i've spoken to here, both at chief from germany and yesterday, if this exercise really had no scenario directed against any specific other nation

or adverse freed. this was more about interoperability in the ad. bringing both air forces, germany, india, into 3 other european made to countries which were the india and partnership was what old sites emphasized. rather than addressing the elephant in the room. and that is, i think, for both sides very much china in russia. i wanted to ask you exactly about the, the sandra, cuz the sparks a new chapter and defense cooperation for the partners at a time of heightened geopolitical tension. what does this say about india is relationship with europe as opposed to russia in china, as in us trying to diversify its weaponry. i mean, it's a lot of supply of steel, and it's about 70 percent of indian weaponry is a freshman or rich and that needs to diversify because fast. i know it's coming

through a new nurse and so i'm not coming to because a process invasion in ukraine, so they need to seek new partners. that is, as far as russia is concerned, and also they are seeking an ice, reliable, and ice as far as their own. china challenge is concerned, arrive for those disputes, as in the pacific region as a very important region for traits. and as certainly is actually for the today. and yet in fact, as far as he's concerned, is one of the most important, if not the most important part, not in the, in the pacific region. so are we likely to see more military exercises like this in the future? sandra? that is what everybody here has been emphasizing. i spoke to members of the german parliament who were here for this last day of threats to grace peel case and also a political representative from india. the chief itself was here again like the german and they all set they want to do this more often. maybe on

a much smaller scale in riven off every 2 years. big like this, where you have hundreds and hundreds of soldiers and aircraft involved from so many different countries that might only happen every 4 years. but this is really a turning point for both this openness and you would check for us both are looking for an intensifying cooperation. also include in future on steels, and as far as india is concerned, very much the transfer of technology center. thank you very much. that was our correspondence center peters when they're in india. and then we apologize for the technical issues in that talk. now the, the criminalization of cannabis in germany earlier this year was celebrated by many, but the countries and from this bureaucracy has since proved a real downer kind of us clubs which were supposed to provide legal access to the we'd have a are having a hard time getting off the ground themes of jubilation,

not berlin's brand. number gates, on april, 1st, they marked to decriminalize ation of trying to boost in germany. much awaited by many adults can now possess and smoke. mary. one on public bureaucracy seems to be standing in the way of access to legal cannabis. according to the new law, individuals can grow up to 3 cannabis plants at home. and as of july, 1st, people can apply to establish so called kind of best social clubs. associations were members can grow plans together and share the harvest. the problem. so clubs have been unable to apply for a license. in berlin, not a single club has managed to hand in their application. frustrated club founders have come together and started organizing to put more pressure on the authority is the responsibility for the permit application is being shifted back and forth between city and district authorities. we feel like we are being lied to from start

to finish. the berlin city government told the w it is currently clarifying which office should oversee the permits. while this is being sorted out, the responsibility falls under district authorities. this still doesn't provide much clarity to the hold for managers of the cannabis clubs and questions remain as to whether this new law really makes it possible for people to access kind of as legally. yeah, i've already signed up to be a club member and now we're waiting, waiting. the books happening more and more and my circles is that people are getting their own accounts for the way they do this. here in germany is a contest so free. this wouldn't change anything the way it is right now. so people still use sale dealers, you know, because still we have no shops to buy it from somewhere despite some skepticism, kind of bas club founders hope they can soon overcome the bureaucratic hurdles. and finally, start growing legal marijuana. and other world news, the leader of
