Faced tough challenges at the audience summit into cardex. Delegates are set to discuss the prices and beyond marks and rising tensions over the south china sea. And the African Leaders gather in nairobi for a summit name thats fighting Climate Change. Thank you. We look at how kenya is already leading the way by generating most of its power from renewables. The sarah kelly, welcome to the program. The United States has that north Korean Leader kim jong on plans to travel to russia for a meeting with president Vladimir Putin to discuss providing moscow with weapons. Moscow says it cannot confirm the report. Us media said that the visit could take place within the month, fighting unnamed official. The parent met last in 2019 young young and must so have both previously denied that north korea is providing russia with supplies for its more than ukraine. Now, western Officials Say that both moscow in teeth are burning for huge amounts of munitions. As the war enters, its 19th month, dw 0 for shuttle joins us now from where you guys dw is banned from reporting and in russia. So gary, how likely will prudent get what he wants as well it should be indeed because the 2nd meeting between the 2 petitions uh, since 2019 and the just like in 20. 19 uh, put an end king dont own a supposed to meet in vladivostok during the Eastern Economic forum. Outside the vault stuck is located on the Pacific Coast and he is a border with north korea bought. All of the media reports say its a suit unclear where exactly is it both lead us could meet with a lot of us still, or maybe even in moscow. So however you set it as a kremlin declined to confirm this meeting, so 5, but thats nothing unusual. As for north koreas potential weapons deliveries to russia. A, we have a reports from the Us National Security council that ross is defense minister segregation who would have tried to convince young young to sell artillery by the nation to russia during his recent visit in north korea in july, soon for then, a president put an end came, john holmes, have reportedly exchanged, let us pledging to increase is annabel lights, row cooperation. So if thats true, maybe next week, during the talks, put him in teams from own coat. Indeed discuss potential supply of artillery his house and onto the tank. Smiths house, according to the National Security council, north korea last year, despite the denials supplied already in this house, the russians, a private army involved in that. But is that, as i said, report from that . Yes. Okay, so that will of course not confirmed by the kremlin and from the north korean perspective, its likely, um that what kim john own might want from russia is food and advance weapons technology. Is that likely something that russia is willing to provide as well look at russia, obviously doesnt wants to add to the will any time soon as there is nothing to suggest to that hosting that is between your grade and joshua will anthony die. So yesterday we have had a very aggressive tone from president putin. One meeting with doug as president add on. I put in caesar, the boy against the grant. As of the boy against the west, at least thats what the visa boys portrayed is asking media. So moscow obviously wants to keep fighting and for that, it certainly needs small weapons because of the best also wants to keep a supplying ukraine with weapons. And if russia and north korea are indeed negotiating of the supply of weapons, moscow would in turn supply for 8 and the advance technologist for satellites and euklel submarines in july, once again. Russian defense minister, if i go visit the north korea, that 3 boss seen by the s intelligence as preparation for adults, thats good place. Could take place next week. Maybe in light of us, the last call you or your shadow enrica. Thank you. And here are some other stories making headlines you prints. President Vladimir Zelinski has met with soldiers on the front line and the dont ask region. The eastern area has been the scene of some of the heaviest fighting since russias invasion. The visit came a day after zelinski announced a substantial shake up to ukraines military establishment, saying that he was replacing the defense minister typhoon hi corey has made land fall in se china. The heavy rains and floods submerged vast areas of agricultural land. Thousands have been evacuated from their homes. Schools remain closed in some areas. Authority said that 5 people who were on board a fire truck are missing after it plunged into a river of the world. Food program is cutting food aid to another 2000000 as can citing a mass of short fallen funding. That means that a total of 10000000. 00 ask guns are now cut off from food support. The new one is raising the alarm over, shrinking a to ask you understand, warning of a catastrophe. If things dont change in the mediterranean, the number of migrant crossings to europe is higher than it has been in years so far this year. More than 140000 people have survived the perilous journey. An unknown number have died. One hot spot for country departures is tunisia. From there, the journey usually goes to the italian islands of either lot, but do so or sicily. The eu has pled hundreds of millions of yours to help the tuition government to stop people from making this crossing. But so far thats without much affect the w xian, Philip Schultz and book a t deer report. Now from the facts, antonia, which is at the forefront of the migrant departures routinely. While the has been fishing out of this harbor near, sucks for more than 20 years. He says things change this spring. Thats when they started seeing boats full of people heading for europe. When the weather is bad, the fishermen try to warrant them to turn back. But he says they hardly ever do as of that guy get them, we keep finding bodies in the sea and they get tangled in our fishing nets. But we call the coast guard when that happens, unless people, yukon, who i talked about, it is also the staff people just like us to 790 level to someone had to you. Most of the people who tried to cross the mediterranean to get to europe said all from this region more than 2000 people are known to have died in the attempt. And sometimes local authorities have trouble collecting all the bodies that wash up on the beach. Along the coast, thousands of people wait for their place on a boat so, so its suddenly just from booking a file so he knows how dangerous it is. But says hes determined to try to get to europe. He says hes good at repairing electrical appliances. Seems fishy, my only hope is to get across the sea to your well, im doing everything for my mom be the so i want her to be a bit happy for the 1st time and her life in boot point. Uh, thats how the when boats sink the coast guard often bring survivors to this hospital. Doctor robbie, dolly says recently its felt like a war zone. When do you uh, faded, we simply get too many people coming at once. But we dont have enough doctors and nurses to take care of everyone, so we are short of everything, the medicines and equipment on this new little money. Its more than we can manage this for those whose plans are still intact. The focus is on preparation and securing a spot on a boat. The Smuggler Networks which stretch across the region have arrived here in fox. One smuggler is prepared to talk to us as long as we dont film his face in a tunnel, kind of how the people, when i only do the job to make money. Right. And Everyone Wants to make lots of money home. If we take them, i go to see europe. What they do next is up to them. Often theyll squeeze 40 people into a small boat trip like that would earn them around 40000. 00 heroes. Theyre not the only ones profiting. I would appreciate it. My name of the people control the whole beach area. Im sure i know some of our guys have direct connections with the Regional Security forces. Im done with this. Id be the, the, the, some of the basic they will tell us when its safe for a crossing easy. We pay up to 10000. 00 euros for the service. But if you have the suit doesnt care who profits from his trip, he still has to earn a few 100 heroes with odd jobs and sucks. Then theyll have enough to get on a boat and take his chances. Indeed ive used christine, when do i have joins us now from brussels, where shes following these developments, christine the e u has agreed to pay to nature to help stop migration. How is that deal mental work sarah . In the research as to needs, he has become a real focal point as useful in, in, in the report say were migraine, so ill take him over to head to europe. And so you need as have directed some 1000000000 jurors in the memorandum of understanding the idea being to really help this and dizzy and officials cracked down on the criminal games and the Smoking Network space. So some of the deal was struck with the new share a few years ago. And what that really entailed was empowering Security Forces on the ground to stop people making those crossing, ceasing the assets, these pickup trucks, and then other assets that the criminal gangs used to facilitate these crossings. Really breaking down those networks and also e u money going to people who has been working in the sped smoking business, compensating them and encouraging them to pursue other business ventures. Because it is of course, a very lucrative business as we understanding and to visit right now. Its even cheaper for migraines to, to pay for a crossing because they are just so many Smuggling Networks offering this service. So this deal from the european perspective were works really well because i pointed out finish it agreement if you do see a decrease in those numbers. So its affected from that printed. If you listen to the child and prime minister, for example, she says, this is the way to do it because of go to the hot spots, strike deal state and stop people from making their way to here. Because we are not able to agree on what to do with people once they get to your side. Of course Rights Groups will point out that these bills have been struck with countries that have a, lets just say difficult criminal rick, human rights records. And so they remain controversial in that sense. And how about other options, christine . I mean in its effort to curb illegal migration does you have any other alternatives other than to pay to nisha and turkey told my friends back as well in june. But your opinion came as to who took a step closer to agreeing on a migration deal. This has been a very contentious issue. The European UnionMember States have not been able to agree on how to deal with migration. So what do you have is you have the reception countries, the board of countries, these are you, its an easy increases who say they are overwhelmed with the food and then that they want to be able to share migraines with in the block. Of course youve got in countries, countries that are further up north who dont want to take people, so they struck some kind of a compromise. Its not, youve been fully agreed upon, but its suggest only proposed is that countries that dont want to take on the issue of the burden. So to say, quote unquote that they would have to pay something close to 20000. 00 your per migrant. That they dont want to take. So this is not something that theyve quite agreed on even that is contentious, but this is the challenge. And this is why you hear voices from that your georgia below needs apartments. So he said hes saying were struggling to reach consensus here. Lets go to the countries where the problem is and lets deal with the challenge from where it is that christine one white and brussels. Thank you. The association of South East Asian nations or asi on has urged me on mars military, junta, and other stakeholders to de escalate violence and stop targeted attacks on civilians leaders of asi. On our meeting in jakarta, the regional block aims to promote economic and Security Cooperation among its 10 members. But the group has struggled to find a united stance on me on mar, which has been embroiled in violence since a military to in 2021. The data is asia pacific 0 chief carol mathis joins us now from jakarta. So can we expect us youngs please for me on more time to, to de escalate violence to have any impact . I think 1st of all, we should make clear that indonesia was really active and determined to see some progress here pursuing a so called a silent diplomacy. And the championship of, of, of the, on, over the past the 9 month president ial could be total made clear that there was 145. 00 engagement with 70 stakeholders. But where there was no progress was with the military hooked up. And so it always will be interesting to see, to what extent are the im can really see through um go hers the pressure on myanmar and that will, mainly i would say depend on thailand, which now no longer has a pro military government, but the 2nd Largest Opposition Party is now in the seat of power, so it will be interesting to see in the next couple of months how this will shift. Thanks. China is also high on the agenda with beijings efforts to force its claims to most much of the south china sea, causing tension. How is the Auction Block likely to respond to their here, try not just published a new map where they basically claim the entirety of the south china sea. A, something that didnt go down exactly really well with malaysia of your mom or the philippines. So a lot of resistance from these countries when it comes to china. Ivan is always careful because china is a huge my country that is investing you to nomic lee in this part of the world. But they are also determined to stick together when it comes to the territory of conflicts. And so they are pursuing a mutual strategy for a code of conduct. But this is something for the long term. And the nation german ship made clear they are altogether, when they, when it comes to this code of conduct to pursue this policy. The Auction Block very important to United States. It has a robust trade and investment relationship with these 10 nations. And yet precedent by it and is skipping this meeting. Why a hey, its not the for us, the american president who has skipped an as yeah, meeting to be clear. And i would say um for the u. S. Still, uh, as young remains the key partner in this part of the world in Southeast Asia, particularly if you look at the rivalry with china, the rivalry for influence of the territory. Ill leave it to you politically. But also you can obviously in Southeast Asia and theres a few sign steps of the us as the and its still important, for instance, a hosted a meeting in washington and also a President Biden will after the g 20 meeting visits. Yep. Now, when he comes to this part of the girls, dw Asia Pacific Bureau chief care of mathis, thank you. You are the secretary general antonio good head as has urged the International Community to help make africa a Renewable Energy super power. He was speaking in the canyon capital, nairobi where leaders from across africa are discussing the transition to Green Energy Production at the continents 1st climate summit, kenya is calling for a Solutions Oriented approach. It says africa has an unparalleled opportunity to benefit from the fight against global warming. If there is sufficient investment to unlock potential. So can you is already a front runner on the continent when it comes to Renewable Energy sources, steam rising in our car, you can use largest Geothermal Power plant located in the rift valley. Northeast of nairobi, the water vapor is 300 degrees hot. As it comes out of the ground, it drives turbines that produce electricity. All carriers being financed in part with money from germany, state own investment and development bank. Last year, the 2 countries launch the climate, an energy partnership, their common goal to combat Climate Change and expand Renewable Energy. Just as on the by kenya, this special thing about kenya compared to other african countries, is the easy access ability to Renewable Energy or a bubble. And theres a huge amount of Geothermal Energy. And normally we have come close to tapping is full potential and that its something know, every country in africa has due to me is a, is also Geothermal Energy accounts for 45 percent of kenya, electricity production. In the early 19 eighties, the country began producing energy with thoughts, theme, and all carrier. Before that can you relied on hydro electric power. The country has vast Renewable Energy sources, wind, water, solar, and Geothermal Power. For this reason, nairobi has focused its efforts on green energy. Around 90 percent of kenyas power is generated from Renewable Power sources. Thats more than twice the share in germany. Many people here are fond of solar power which can help to save money. This farmer put solar panels on his roof 2 years ago. Yes, we have the d was complete. Bob block out for 2 days. Will stop my read it to me at the top of what im going to you on data to pumps. I had to watch that sort of or 30 years ago, only 3. 5 percent of canyons have access to electricity. Today, around 3 fourths of the population has power, but its not reliable yet. The grid is at its limits. Blackouts are a regular occurrence. One of the logic problems, hes also upgrading the existing infrastructure because it was
