southern china, damaging everything in its path from buildings to trees. at least 2 people were killed and dozens injured in high non province for hundreds of thousands of homes were left without power. transport links were suspended. schools close and millions of people were told to avoid going out yagi has doubled in strength from tropical storm to super type soon since it hit the philippines earlier this week. getting more than a dozen people, they're a super type food and has the same damaging effects as a category 5. hurricane china, vietnam and allows are all in its path scientists. a type phones are becoming stronger and more frequent as a result of warmer ocean temperatures. due to climate change, as yankee hits vietnam, aquino is underway in china and the philippines for more let's cross over to our

east asia bureau into and pay and dw corresponded james tater james. so type who and yagi is one of the worst storms of the decade. at this point, what area is most effective to hi, michael, what we understand now is a non full referral mentioned that the timeframe has now moved on to the ne, in parts of the vietnam and making land full clothes. so the industrial points that you have hard for making its way towards the cost. so how do we we understand that there were already been several invest in the country with many inches, restrictions on public lives to very much in force. and those particular concern for this coast, and since you have high phones in the city with a population of some 2000000 people, a big industrial city with many manufacturing bases of large international companies and is use, as you mentioned, those coastal parts of vietnam have seen some 50000 people, the evacuation we looking to see those were the sanction restrictions remain in place out of the course of this evening. as we reported, of course,

teams of soldiers and other personnel were deployed in vietnam, or countries in its path, well prepared. there were on this on vietnam, deployed some 450000 soldiers, just an extraordinary number of military personnel to help with that's the novel peroration, but also supports civilians that have been impacted by this type of food. vietnam and ascends, i guess, was fortunate in the sense that it had the time to preparing some of these other countries in the region. china and the philippines be damaged and be impacted pretty strongly. but the question remains looking for because of the impacts of climate change and the intensity of the store assumes growing as the gaze cost. why the, the measures that we see in place now i'm going to be fit for purpose in the is going forward. and it bears repeating, yagi has already wrought havoc in parts of china and the philippines is the danger

over for those countries. as we understand the immediate danger to those 2 countries that is already in pods of china and the philippines is largely over. the storm is expand since a week, and as it passes in lands into vietnam, given that water, obviously is needed to support the strength of these storms. but, you know, we've seen these in these 2 countries, china and philippines. i'm lucky, be known to be impacted and such drastic waves by the storm. hundreds of thousands of people evacuated from their homes, hundreds of thousands of people less without power. and so, of course, the casino corporations will be will continue. and as what we've seen in china very similarly to the non questions being closed about, given you know, the impacts of climate change, the insensitivity storms going forward. whether the measures they put in place to deal with this particular type food were enough to deal with type in the, on the and whether there will be enough to deal with storms of this nature in the is a heads. that again is a james trader in type, a manufacture streams. russia has long been

fighting to take the eastern city up across a ukrainian military hub, close to russian, held them yet. russia's latest advances in the area are threatening to overtake ukraine's recent successful invasion of russian territory. in early august, ukraine sees the russian city of pseudo and about 1200 square kilometers of nearby territory. but the strategic move has failed to divert russian troops pushing towards the cost in recent days a week. so i should say they have come within 10 kilometers of the city, ukrainian presidents. a lot them is. the lensky has described the situation there as extremely difficult. let's get more on this with the dumb until the 2nd most. so senior lecturer and military analyst at kings college london. she joins us from loss of dumb until a simply put, why is this particular cd across so important for russian forces,

or do you see this particularly important because it is in a way or logistics hub. it is. so i need to section united, they say to design into a section of re rose that lead to areas that are very important. strategically for, for ukraine. uh, it opens the potentially the road towards consenting of costs of young's come at those. and it makes it very hard now for you bring to supply these areas, which they still controlling the area. that is why do you say don't, you will be honest. and which has always been sort of the g stronghold of the you bring in on forces ever since of instability and war has broken out and they don't boss in the, in the, in 2014. so these really are very important areas. i'm also what is important to find art is not the defensive lines behind book and offs are not so strong. so there is concern that then

a russian forces could advance more rapidly once they move beyond the dogs. so the question of defensive lines on supporting this area is particularly critical. many in ukraine hope that the incursion into russia, as chris could divert russia's military resources. is there any indication of that happening? i there is some indication, of course what would have been an ideal situation would have being that the rush, i like let's forces from these areas which where i'm just from pressure in the, in the don't. yeah. it's all with us about most of the force. exactly. what i voted for what from other areas around concave around here to so on. and then they have mobile youngest areas. and folks from inside russia, marines, the v for will say special for this comes grades reserves. so they haven't really found that, you know, that was really necessary to move. they have sort of risks,

raced and not moving forces from the don't boss. and they said they did problems not also for the ukrainians. uh so i think that in some respects it hasn't really worked, it has worked to a certain extent that goes to as being less pressure, for example, you're on just if you are and which was under strong pressure during before these incursion. so the picture is a big mixed, of course. now the focus is in this area and it seems not that russia the ukrainians, right now, sending very important or enforcement to this area. but you know, i think this was a new was that, uh or me or we had this morning on. we need confirmation as to whether these national geographic was sent to the or we are going to be effective enough dumb until a less than a minute. but i do want to ask you at this point, what does ukraine need to do to improve its situation on the front line as well? i think it needs quite a few needs. of course, more ammunition, most of water in terms of military equipment needs to be able to have russian

forces further afield, especially as we know the seals, which are open vote and on the back to see if there's not a lot of talk about the, you know, me, science on i'd be struck by planes throw too great, but also that's relevant. even if i could see this one point, the id problems are very excited. ukraine also would need to be more effective. defensive nines. there's been a lot of talk about the problems like the scenarios because also related to bad leadership. i do not know of proper rotation, right? and this is on the nation when there is limited to amunition when there is limited . so the support also in terms of forces, it sort of creates a lot of strings in the area. so i think if we find that there is going support, then things good potentially turning around. okay, that's a tell me tell us how can most of senior lecture and military analyst at king's college london? many thanks. thank you. mean,

well more than half of across 60000 residents have either been evacuated or have fled. the city dw team visited the city on the front line to see how evacuations and defense preparations are going. the front line is rapidly approaching port crowds fighting is underway, less than 10 kilometers from here, people are leaving the city and mass. all socrates urging people to hurry. the last train will deposit on september 11 for 85 year old admit that could we live now? this is our 2nd experience of war. she still remembers the german nazi occupation could do so to communion below. i was 73 years old and with this so yeah, cause i remember every thing is if it were now looks i have a let us of a station say so mark of my germans on one side and there were 2 dogs on the other

. so no one could escape to like in the movies, to the down. what does it say? no, to send to a cattle car and wanted to take us to a concentration comes on there. she lives within the partisans, destroyed the railway and shy, said run wherever yukon residents. so now leaving for a safer cities where they'll stay with friends, family or in state provided housing move have a nice summer and saying that there are significantly fewer people in blue cross now, which is nice to much so many have been evacuated, but they will call you, it's at least 300 people leave daily menu, some of their own 3 states or with assistance for those who need help them. move the formal head of the former. hi, i'm on. the white angels are helping people evacuate from hard hit areas, but not everyone is willing to leave. despite the danger. my mother

left my son left. i don't want to go anywhere, you know, being in a foreign land as far as we're not needed anywhere. i've worked abroad. i know we're not needed anywhere. oh, of course, it's hard to leave your home. but the next task new people have built their lives here to the closest that off the way is the fear of leaving is greater than the fear of death to cut off, i asked may additive as well. yeah, i can say people are more afraid to leave then to donnelly, in their homes, within port crowds. because tony, from a once safe city into a front line town, supermarkets and banks have closed, produce and close can still be bought at st markets or small shops. this beauty salon is still giving hair cuts. we can still live for now. if it gets worse, we'll leave. nearby ukrainian troops are preparing for

a prolonged defense of pop crowds. new recruits will soon head to the front. those are bought the new drawing a lot of drones, a lot of air strikes you for because they tend to be tanks and artillery or fire and other positions for the i don't the lady a on the national have not advanced or aligned with it and we're holding it, and we're not letting the enemy get closer to someone. lucia, while ukraine pushes on with its invasion of rushes cost region, this company is still waiting for reinforcements. portion of parts, of course, is fine, but we shouldn't forget about puckered us. we also need people here today, the current situation demands more ammunition and drones, the but they, me, monica, especially after all, this is our homeland ocean. well, of course,

because the aggressors territory of that sort of a little ended. they're up next. now technology show shift looks at how full tournaments, drones are being used for patrol national boards, a micah look who i'll be back with more news and 45 minutes. the not just another day. so much is happening all at once. we take time to understand this is the day i'm in the look at these events analyzed by experts and critical thinking is this is the weekdays on w. my name is the calls back, said loud. thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold bad. a lot of

people do.
