8:01 pm
asking for the green light to strike deeper inside russia. plus another says link summer, the european union's climate monitor says the northern hemisphere is experienced, it's hot as summer on record. the i break off is good to have you with this on this friday. we begin in 10 year we're at least 17 children have died after a fire swept through a boarding school around 70 children are unaccounted for after the blaze in the very county summer thought to have been taken in by local residents and officials are asking them to come forward and investigation has been launched into the cause of the fire of the parents gathered outside the primary school the morning after
8:02 pm
a fire killed sleeping students. many still don't know if the children made it out of the dormitory, alive, and described waiting for news as tall chest fire fights a struggle to reach the school. after brain turned the roads around it into mode local, residential life to try and rescue the children from the blaze. leo and know what to what we saw several children in there that had been burnt. i was just lucky to save one of them, but i heard that he later died. it was a very troubling and sad tragedy by the key officials of working to try and locate the missing. can you, deputy president said dozens of children still unaccounted full of appealing to reach out to the
8:03 pm
child from here to reports to see you in special ed because of this sort of feeling good. i've chosen the countries in t. we administer visit to the school on friday and said that will be full accountability for this tremendous loss of life. the canyon red cross is out the sea. instead is offering psychological support services to pupils on teaches. and for the families waiting for the news, nobody wants to hear the w corresponded felix moreno. it has more now from nairobi. so the fire broke at about 11 p. m. at least time, most of the pupils are usually a slip. so many of them walk court no way as neighbors within the community where their foster support is about the monday to the fire was so huge that they had to
8:04 pm
call for backup, which came 3 hours later. the backup was a little bit late because by the time the fire was put out at about 3 am, 17 kids had already died and 14 as badly injured. we are hearing the dozens of children are still missing a. what can you tell us about the so when the file was raging. uh, one of the possible who was doing a rescue was saying that uh, he was finding some of the kids hiding under their beds. some of the kids in there in the rates of the fire, decided to jump on his friends and go to the neighboring houses and retain the community to just to be housed. so they are still missing. but the deputy president has asked any pirate or to keep on here today to just the report to the school so that they can be able to have a full time lead or they children who are missing and those who i have to complete
8:05 pm
and accounted for the police books parcel and i said aside, those kids that are phones dead? well, a bunch beyond recognition, so they are not also living alter the possibility of finding more kids still buried and the debris it talk to me feel like about the reaction in can you to the store as so many candles have been sending the condolence messages to the families of those who lost their loved ones and parents flocked this quarter . i knew this morning, they were sad faces throughout the day, trying to come to town this week. what had transpired within the school president william, brutal as also send his condolence messages to the families and wished those for us to hospital us, we do recovery. he's also asked to investigate what he says to expedite by the investigation process, which now the deputy president has said that report would be made public so that
8:06 pm
everyone can know what costs the fire. the kinda red cross has also been offering psycho social is some parts to the parents and some of the uh, kids who are trying to come to terms with what's happened to school 5 years or unfortunately not uncommon in can yeah. why is that to suddenly most of the fi, as in the possible costs due to a sort of electrical malfunction, as or even possible negligence. that is not what's happened in this particular case, because they investigates as i yes to know what's happened. but all of these costs the ministry of education to come up with guidelines, guidelines such as dormitories, whether kids, sleep must have 2 or more exits. the window is to not have drills. they should have 5 assembly points and the fire extinguishers. so it'd be active and solve these so that they can be able to respond to
8:07 pm
a fire. suddenly the government has not been very keen on. and so i think that piece particular mission has either enforced. now educational they quoted does have to did call it on the government to ensure that all of these guidelines are enforced and nothing will be left and nothing will be left to attended. so that in the future have such tragedies where 17 kids and 14 as badly injured will not happen again in the country. are corresponding. felix moving it with the latest tonight. felix is always thank you. the winehouse has called for an investigation into the death of a turkish american woman who was shot the occupied westbank. israel's military says it's investigating reports that its troops killed the woman after opening fire on demonstrators palestinian medias say she was shot in the head during a march by activism. it bates,
8:08 pm
a talent that has experienced repeated attacks by is really settlers corresponded in jerusalem. emily or dean joins us now. emily, tell us more about this woman and the demonstration that she was attending when she was shot to yes, friends, the activist in question has been identified as i should or i am is key. again. she is a jewel citizen of both us and turkey, and she was in the occupied westbank with the so called international solidarity movement to process and is early supplements in the area. now the settlements in question was recently legalized by the use ready to governments even though own is really supplements in the occupied was fund a widely can considered illegal under international. and israel has been widely criticized for allowing them to happen so purchased against those really supplements and the rest on come on coming. but in fact, in recent months,
8:09 pm
some of them have turned violence. and that is what is said to have happened in this case as well. this case ended up in classes with the israel defense forces, which then which then led to shots being fired, which ultimately killed this activist on palestinian as well as talkers officials now say, but it was in facts, is really bullets, but killed her. emily, what is, is real saying about the allegations that she was shot by the israel defense force . so the idea has not confirmed this. they have said that they were responding to quote violence activity. they fired at an instigates a who was throwing rocks up. i'm who posed a threat to them. now, um these claims on now the incident and itself is not quite under review and they're looking into these claims, which is also something that the us have asked for the post. and him, as well as turkish officials,
8:10 pm
have responded and claim that this killing offence essentially reflects how israel is intensifying. it's how it's repression of posting and protests and the occupied westbank. but if you look at the west bank occupied with bank of the whole of the past few months, we've seen that to balance between power, steering and financial, who has intensified, has increased, not least because of the warren. gov, the following. how much is terror attacks on october 7th, but also in light of the rapid expansion of is really supplements in the occupied west fund. and they're all serious concerns. but this violence could escalate even further. use emily gordon? enjoys them emily? think whichever these for the minister island to bear balk has more it is real that what she called a purely military approach will not solve the crisis in goal. is that at a meeting until a v variable told her counterpart is real cots that is real,
8:11 pm
needed to make a deal in the war in gauze and bring back hostages held by him last. she also urged the country to ended settlements in the occupied west bank and to punish settlers who commit violence against palestinians. bare block later met with palestinian authorities leaders in the west bank. alright, i want to get some analysis now with natasha hall. she's a senior fellow with the middle east program at the center for strategic and international studies in washington dc. it's going to have you with this. the german foreign minister she has visited is real practically every month since the her mos october 7th here attacks last year. despite that the war rages on, there is a ceasefire. so what are these visits a cheap well, that's a great question and i will tell you that americans are asking the same question about their diplomats right now. we've been seriously talking about
8:12 pm
a ceasefire since february. and yet, every time we see talks ratchet up, as we had in past weeks the, this is the last chance. nothing seems to, to catalyze. and i would say probably a big part of the united states and for germany is, is the ongoing um, military support. and diplomatic support for israel moving forward. yeah, you mentioned americans and the efforts by the us secretary of state does germany have any influence on? is real, any more then van to the united states as i would say, certainly not more than the united states, but germany is one of israel's biggest trading partners. and also the source of many of its arm sales actually thinks 2nd to the united states. so. so it is a significant player here, and it has been
8:13 pm
a significant player in mediation in past square ups, either a loving on or, and gaza in the past 20 years. but because of the, the sort of unabashed support that we've seen from both germany and the united states in the past 11 months since october 7th. we haven't seen a real significant shift in his really behavior or uh, acquiescence to any kind of ceasefire negotiations. um, but i would, i would definitely say that, you know, germany would come in any other country for that matter would come far, 2nd or 3rd to, to the united states in terms of, of being able to, to use its influence to move israel in that direction. and how about from the palestinians perspective, is there anything that germany can do beyond the check book diplomacy? to bring about a ceasefire, a garza and 2 in the illegal settlements in the west bank? a yeah, i mean you call the check book diplomacy. i would say it's just tangible measures. i think there's a lot of finger wagging that goes on, but at the end of the day,
8:14 pm
if the arm sales don't stop, then israel has no actual motivation to change course. but i would say the germany does play a role in setting the tone which i think has already been happening in the past week. it's like a significant change of tone for germany compared to the past 11 months, where it has had a very steadfast support for israel regardless, and has, has really shied away from even calling for a cease fire. really until very, very recently. but i think germany does set the tone for the rest of europe when it comes to israel. and so it could potentially begin to, to show a shift there in the, um, the full on support for israel moving forward and doing nothing yahoo, the prime minister of israel, a bit of notice that that time is running out natasha off of this. and of course, the teacher get international studies. we appreciate your time in your analysis
8:15 pm
tonight. thank you. thank you. ukraine's present important as the lensky has again urge del wise to allow his country to use missiles from western allies to attack a deep inside russia. zalinski spoke at lunchtime airbase here in germany where representatives from some 50 countries gathered for talks that were hosted by us defense secretary lloyd austin zalinski later and met german chancellor. all of schultz for talks in frankfort. zalinski wants to secure more weapons to help his nation drive russia off ukrainian land. we do want to and these were, we want peace. we want to save our people testable, our country. and it is puts in who doesn't want to piece. and he's a disease with territorial congress. she wants our see this or the ruins that's remain of them. and that is why we need says,
8:16 pm
we need to force russia to seek this. we need to make rush to see this and even rush the soldier. think about what they need, piece or puts in, and it is realistic to push them to choose to be is what dw corresponding to economy. he joins me now from the ukranian capital. vic, president zalinski has secured millions and fresh aid for ukraine, but he is continuing his push 2 years western weapons deeper inside russia. something the united states says would not be a game changer. how do you explain the differing, assess a look brand. i think we've seen now the last 2 and a half years of this was that zalinski wouldn't take no for an onset, that kind of never or other kind of attempt to shut down these requests doesn't work. and his case for now it hasn't worked yet. but i think if you look at what nobody goes to another us specialist said they focused on the question of stuffing russian air raids on ukraine, that
8:17 pm
a launch to me. so attacks of the launch from fields and the us position is being that those are feel for the most part, all deeper inside russia. further, beyond the 300 kilometer range that the attack comes me, solid systems that you create already has. if they, which be used to get 1st in turkey would reach. i don't think they're saying that there's no targets within that 300 kilometers. and that would be interesting. well, that would help ukraine's efforts on the battlefield in cracking. they're just trying to shut this conversation down for now, and that is exactly what volume zalinski, what's preventing is you heard that in that quote from him. he is all about trying to make the price of this war for when the russians tangible and to prevent russia going to kind of cruise mode where it can continue this effort for years and use at a time where it seems like western countries might lose that impulse and that's kind of instinct to help ukraine if this goes on for few years now, either ukraine's surprise counter offensive. it was also on the agenda today. ukraine claims that it's captured about 1300 square kilometers of russian territory
8:18 pm
. but that has not seem to haul russia's assault on pop roles. so has this calendar events, it hasn't failed. i think it's too early to say what effect the coast incursions going to have on what russia does in the east. yes, we haven't seen troops taken from across consent to quote, but there is evidence of reserves that we're going to be going to the east of ukraine trip across being sent to go and get russia's resources being spread more thinly. but it's not just about that. it's also about, as we've heard from the crime egypt preventing unexpected russian attack on the ukraine board around the. and also it's about the political game is about showing the flat events. hooton's red lines that here any attack on russia would immediately have this kind of nuclear tax, as the consequence for the case shown to, that's simply not true. and if we're talking about getting permission to strike deeper inside russia, if you can enter and occupy a big swayed over some territory without an escalation, without any risk to the rest of your, then the argument from cuba will be, give us those missiles pretend,
8:19 pm
doesn't have anything left escalate and that is the most rational thing we can do rather than trying to shoot down every result heading towards kids. and these attacks outsource. engineer put the price up for rushes, lead us analyst at civilians. w, the economy with the ladies tonight from keith. nick as always, thank you. the new data is confirming what many people have been ceiling for months now. the european union's climate monitor says it's summer 2024 has been the hardest on record in the northern hemisphere. finding the experts say that the string of record temperatures shows just how urgent it is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to prevent future summers from becoming even hotter. as night falls look begins on this vineyard in croatia. they are harvesting
8:20 pm
the grapes in the darkness to avoid the blistering daytime heat. increasing summit temperatures have disrupted their entire schedule well over good. they know better, but because of the sweltering and also unusually boom with that pervaded the whole agricultural year. this is how this was undoubtedly 3 for the now, if not 4 weeks earlier, there was a whole month earlier than usual, awkward on imbedded them in neighboring serbia. the woman temperatures of also forced corn farmers to start the vista month on the scorched us and punch rivers at the results of the hottest august on record. here. a pattern that is playing out across the northern hemisphere, manifesting in climate catastrophes from wild fires increase
8:21 pm
to drought in italy. the climate scientists say the climbing temperatures can no longer be post office. a fluke be a seeing is not a, it's not just a random fluctuation. is not a non duty of climate that may be due to a strange combination of one of the many factors that affect the excitement of this planet. but he's really there is that this proportional effect that is induced by this long temperature nation of peanuts, guessing delta x. that's a cooling, small global action to tackle the causes of mine made climate change. if the hot temperature has continue 2020 full could support us last year as the hope chest yeah. since records begun while enjoying the l by david miller, he's the former mayor of toronto and now director of c forties center for urban climate policy and economy. he joins us tonight from new york. david,
8:22 pm
it's good to have you with us. you know, your in new york, i'm in berlin. most of us in the 20th century, our city dwellers. how much of a problem is the heat becoming for almost all of us as well? it's becoming a very serious issue. the certainly the images in your report of farming area is where we're striking in cities. what you see is the additional level of heat, because there's something known as the urban heat island affect the effect of paving roads and so forth. and as i think, 1st of all, as the report said, we have to redouble our efforts to avoid climate change by helping the world get off fall. so use the fact is we need to, to have their use by 2030 in europe class in the united states. it's particularly important to, to minimize the use of natural gas on
8:23 pm
a path. so eliminating it. the 2nd thing that's very wiring is the, the rate of serious physical harm, including death from heat in urban areas is increasing quite dramatically. and one of the real worries is that people often don't know that they're getting sick because of heat. so when a city sets a cooling center in a public library community center, for example, people might not go uh, so it's extremely wiring. and i think one of the consequences of buying that change that we perhaps don't pay enough attention to collect the place. it's david, you know, you're talking about reducing c o 2 emissions. i think everyone's on board with that. but what about the notion of the city that we most of us live in? i mean, you're, you're advocating rebuilding and rethinking the city, aren't you? and is there any example where that has already been done successfully, as well as the some very good work parents, fedex,
8:24 pm
they play the way i wish everybody was on board with mitigating against climate change and certainly true in europe, but less so in the united states. and in some places, cities matter because 1st of all, most of the world lives in urban areas and that's new before about 2008. most of the world lived in in non urban areas and the changes only increasing it's about 55 percent of the population of the world today in about 70 percent of the greenhouse gases are emitted in cities. so cities have a real part to play in helping people be safe, cuz that's where people are. and then also dealing with, with climate litigation. so what are we seeing efforts in cities while we're seeing cities, the like toronto, uh, my, my home city, and having a program of cooling centers for people to use. we're seeing efforts by
8:25 pm
scientists to demonstrate the link between heat and very serious health crises. but at the same time we're, we're seeing cities in many places, really struggle, you know, in, in africa, for example, the fact that the same forces decrease, the amount of arable land means that there's a migration to cities. and many of those people live in formal set in informal settlements on the outskirts of cities. how do you help those people? what do you do? well, one of the initiatives at us, for example, as a huge tree planting initiative, of those kinds of tree planting initiatives both out mitigates against greenhouse gases and helped to cool the urban areas exceptionally important. and we're seeing really innovation in african cities around those kinds of re naturalization,
8:26 pm
since they've been quite about to 45 seconds left. i want to ask you about your home city of toronto, which is, you know, has the reputation of being the cold north by the end of this century though, it could actually be the city with the go, the likes temperatures of, of just right is toronto, preparing for a possible huge wave of migration from the south. well, you know that it's a perfect issue to highlight. you know, we've seen how europe has struggled with migrations and migrants and it's a massive political issue. what is going to happen when hundreds of millions of people are on the move? you know, we're seeing a few 1000000. it's a massive issue in, in toronto's court case. our big issue of climate at the moment is flooding. yeah. and that's a huge thing for us to deal with. you know, we're a welcoming city. but how does the world cope with hundreds of millions and that reinforces why it's so important to get us off fossil fuels with all the green or cleaner paths. david miller,
8:27 pm
author of the book entitled how the world's great cities are fixing the climate crisis. unfortunately, we're out of time, david, but we appreciate your time. good night. good talking with you. thank you. thank you. if you're watching the w news, i'll be back in 90 minutes with more holdings folded by the day. i will see you then
8:28 pm
the do you wash told think i wouldn't better choose to have surgery for you. you'll have a big fan of plastic surgery going under the knife for beauty on yesterday mom. i mean while i want to get a nose job or some other, i think his face is fine. there's plenty of potential for conflict when generations class us and them. next on d,
8:29 pm
8:30 pm
not the good news to go out of the bench. that's okay. that's the nanda foundation, one book sitting on. find out about me being a story in some language, reliable news for migraines. wherever they may be linked by bodies, that's a good one unless we're with my head. c today i look in the mirror and i think i'm really pretty lost. our bodies are as active. but as per appearance really bothers me, hard to lose a little way. there were a lot of comments that hurt and he,
