Now youre just wondering if you could tell us more about this. Some of the reports were getting here today, were getting reports. A cuba hasnt covered a Human Trafficking ring run by russia. It is said to be an attempt to recruit cubans for the war for russias war effort against ukraine. Oh, what can you tell us about that . As well as there is an official message report from the minister of Foreign Affairs of cuba.

And you created, said roy, theres news engines, every part of that, at the end of may, as you get a chance, give it the most. Hes a regional use that, but he and russia up part of it, several cubans citizens had signed the contracts to wizard osh. An armed forces and left for ukraine, where the message of the cuba form industry is connected with this information is unclear. Its a National Sort just have them to get comments on have on us statement. Great, thank you very much, dw is you already reached out to are there in region. So you can look at a few other stories making headlines today. Ukraines president block them is the landscape has met with soldiers in the front line. Dont ask region, the eastern area has been the scene of some of the heaviest fighting since rushes invasion. The visit came a day after the landscape analysis of central shake up to ukraines military establishment, saying he was replacing the defense minister by phone. Hi clay has made land fall in se china. The heavy rains and floods merge vast waves of agricultural land. Thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes. Schools remain closed in some areas. Authorities say 5 people on board, a fire truck are missing after it plunged into a river. As the organizers of the burning man festival in the us state of nevada have room reopened the road leading out of the festival. Allowing people to leave thousands of attendees were trapped for days due to heavy rains and mud. The way up to the nearest highway is an 8 kilometer dirt road now to the mediterranean, where the number of migrant crossings to europe is higher than it has been for years. So far this year. More than 140000 people have survived the perilous journey. And the number of died. One hot spot country for departures is tunisia. From there, the journey usually goes to the italian islands of level dues and sicily. You has pledged hundreds of millions of bureaus to help the tunisian government stop people from making this crossing, but so far without much affect. The w, as young philip shone, said my broker dear report bill from the termination port city of specs which is at the forefront of the migrant departures routinely. While the has been fishing out of this harbour 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 a guy get them, we keep finding bodies in the sea and they get tangled in our fishing nets. We call the coast guard when that happens, unless people know you called who i talked about. It is also a lot of the staff people just like us to be 7. I live at this time and have to you most of the people who try 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. 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 burkina, faso. He knows how dangerous it is, but says hes determined to try to get to europe. He says hes good at repairing electrical appliances. Simply sheet. 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 does have you. When boats think the coast guard often bring survivors to this hospital, doctor robbie dolly says recently, its felt like a war zone. When it was you uh, faded, we simply get too many people coming at once. 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 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. And a ton of other 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 appreciate it. My now im a 1000 dollar people control the whole beach area, im sure, but 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 where he lives, he made a 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. Dw, christine wound war has been tracking ears, migration policy. She joins us now from our brussel studio. Christine that you has agreed to pay to need your significance. Um if that helps stop illegal migration. How is that deal with an easier shaping up terry, the memorandum of understanding between the you and to shave will see the European Union pates. And as he has something to the tune of opinions yours and the significant element of this arrangement is the combat team of the criminal games and the people involved in the human smuggling business. Now, in assuming the deal that the reese with the j in 2016 we saw in the area and on force is really going off to the syndicate, seizing their assets, breaking down these networks and also compensating in certain cases, people who are involved in the people smoking business, the understanding being that these people will suddenly be left without work to do. And so the idea is to drive them away from this business that is very, very lucrative. And so we understand right now into new the, that its much cheaper for migrants to, to, to pay for a crossing because they are just that many amount of people smugglers offering this. So if its now for the, you need, as, who were in tennessee or for the signing of this deal that you tell in 5 minutes to, for example, they see this as the more effective solution. Georgia malone if, if he has, but it has been known to say that youre not going to solve that migration problem here in europe. Were not going to reach consensus. He has, if weve got to go to, to the hot spots to the countries where were seeing the flows coming from and, and strike deals there. But of course, human Rights Groups are critical of such deals. They point out that Civil Society has been excluded from the consultation process, but also the human track record of human rights track record of some of these countries. A courtesy to visit is having an issue with its treatment of such sorry, migrants. Often these people are lifting the deserts, having to be rescued without food or water. So these are some of the challenges right now, but as far as this deal goes, it has been criticized, but these deals happen seem to be effective. I pointed out to you to see a dropping the numbers because you do see the on forces really going out of their way to stop people making their way and to get in in the way of the criminal gags. So the you clearly wants to curve, illegal migration, but large numbers of desperate people from the global sales are determined to come any way we saw that no report. Those think you have any alternatives other than paying countries like to an asian new share in turkey to hold the migrant spot. You entered just to your point um, just this morning the, the European Union is assigned them agencies reporting that the number of applications that were received assign them applications, and the 1st off of the top, 500000. And that 2023 is on track to exceeding a 1000000 asylum applications. The last time you had submitted numbers was at the height of the migration crisis in 2015. So this is, this is a real situation. Those numbers appear to have picked up posts. The cove, it depends. If its within the European Union, there is trouble along the lines of what do you do with what, what the for the countries one. So these are the exception countries, but also what the indian countries would prefer. So for the countries like it to be a grease to an extent, they say that they are overwhelmed, that they are receiving weight. So many people in that the burden has to be shipped, but youve got other countries in countries who offer the rough notes, who dont want to take on refugees. So they seem to be at the sort of the, some of the propose, something that works for something, not necessarily for others to say, okay, weve got to share the burden between us. And those countries who do not want to take refuse will then have to pay a full for that and then, but they dont all agree on the situation. So i think the model of the story here is the migration situation is still difficult in the sense that most European Countries would prefer skilled migrants because there is a shortage of Skilled Labor here in your paper for skills migrants has come in through regular channels. And theyre not necessarily able to agree on how to share the burden of people who come in seeking basic prospect in the European Union. Christine, thank you very much. That was the w, as Christine Manuel in brussels. The leaders from the association of South East Asian nations, or as you are meeting for a summit expected to be dominated by the ongoing civil war in neon moore. Theyre seeking to find a united stance on the crisis amid deep rips in the block, trying his efforts to force its claims through much of the South China Sea are also high on the beach. The ws Asian Pacific bureau chief derek mouth is in jakarta. I asked him if we can expect to see any progress on as his response to the crisis in myanmar. Malaysian, the Prime Minister has just asked for strong measures to be taken against the generals in myanmar. And itll be interesting to see if there will be consensus on the so strong mattress to push for this 5 consensus plum to be finally implemented that in your mark 2 countries, i would say we have to watch particularly closely on the one hand there is can body which so far has been the closest ally of the military, one job in myanmar at now they still have a government that is very closely aligned with the military, but they have a new western educated leader a whole minute. So itll be interesting to see what his message will be. And then quite crucially, there is thailand that now has moved away from a pro military government. And so there could be some movement in the near future here. As your members are also deeply concerned. Indeed, angry georg about chinas actions in the South China Sea. How is the block expected to respond to china as well . Basically, during the block has agreed that they want to develop a code of conduct, how to deal with china. And this i was trying to see now the fact that china has just published a new map, basically claiming the entirety of the South China Sea are almost the entirety of the assault as it has edits to the pressure of these negotiations. The complexity for countries in the of the, of when it comes to china of course, is always for and direct investment a china. And most of these countries is the biggest investor. And so they tread carefully when they confront the china on territory issues such as the sauce trying to see now the us present, joe biden, he attended last year as a, as in, so at day art, but hes skipping this one. Is that a sign that sounds important says wayne e i say theres 2 ways to look at this. On the one hand, of course you can say ive done is a bit of a talking shop, a toothless tiger. And so thats why the american president , the skipping, on the other hand, its nothing new that an american president is slipping because its such a venue. And this has happened before. And in case of finding what has to say he has set up and hosted it, especially the of the on summit in washington. He is about to travel to vietnam off to the g 20 meeting. And if you look at the car driving re, for influence in Southeast Asia with a china in particular, there is no question that ill, the im will remain for the us a key. I live a key uh organization to good keep close ties with in order to get more influence in this part of the world. Yeah, thank you very much. Is always the w is Asian Pacific bureau chief garrett about this. The leaders from across africa are discussing the transition to Green Energy Production of the continents 1st Climate Summit. The talks in kenya is capital nairobi, or sponsored by european and us institutions, and some have criticized their involvement, but kenya is calling for a Solutions Oriented approach. It says africa has an unparalleled opportunity to benefit from the fight against you on the warming. If theres sufficient investment on lock, its potential. Can you already is the front runner or the covenant 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 launched to climate an energy partnership, their common goal to combat Climate Change and expand Renewable Energy. Just based on the buy key. Now the special thing about kenya compared to other african countries, is the easy accessibility 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 new. Every country in africa has a you to me ask you to is also Geothermal Energy accounts for 45 percent of kenyas electricity production. In the early 19 eighties, the country began producing energy with thoughts deep in all korea. 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 kenya is 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, the, the old computer block out for 2 days. Will stop my read it to me at the top of what im going to you on data to comes. I had with us 30 years ago, only 3. 5 percent of canyons had 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 not designed for Renewable Energy generation. And so i think that needs to be Huge Investment to make a 100 percent Renewable Energy future possible kenya needs help with developing its energy infrastructure. Many african countries cannot tackle this challenge alone. Africas 1st Climate Summit. One of the goals is also to gain access to investors. Can you, is plan is to double down on Geothermal Power. By doing so, it aims to generate 100 percent of its power from Renewable Energy sources. By 2030 are you stuff . It could be a cheap mario miller is in nairobi covering that sell it for us. Maria 90 percent of can use Energy Supplies from renewables. How did they achieve that . Could it be a model for other african countries . Ill definitely, kenya is a role model, 5 african countries. I mean its super impressive with kenya has ceased and t on the african continent. You have so much more potential in other countries as well. Maybe not Geothermal Energy because you can find that everywhere i can kenya, but of course, hydro electric power, solar power, when power. Uh, theres a lot that can be done and can use government as youve heard is very ambitious. They also want to connect every household in kenya to the nationwide power grids, which can turn out to be able to maybe to and vicious. And on to that you have to add because especially People Living in the countryside have been story key i overlooked. Okay, were 2 days now into the summit in nairobi. Various pleasures have been made at the Climate Summit tell us more. Tell us more about those pleasures. So the United Arab Emirates investors from the United Arab Emirates have actually committed to buying 450000000. 00 in carbon credits. They will buy that from the africa. Um, uh, Carbon Market initiative, which was endorsed by the un, which was launched last year at the club 27. 00 summit in egypt. And of course that would mean a lot of revenue for many applicant country. So bad news was welcomed, have president georgia canyon presidency. And now, and so he said that african carbon sinks uh basically an economic gold mine that needs to be harvested about billions of dollars that should be taking advantage of. Besides that, the United Arab Emirates, ive also pledged 200000000 in the green projects. And also the u. K. A said 60 to millions and yeah, environmentally friendly projects. Its also germany has announced a 65000000. 00 bits swap with kenya that would free up extra money for green project as well. So the summit is on going uh, what else is on the agenda there and i wrote me of the so today they will be high level as speakers on the panels. And also announcements being made from the chapter, some of the African Union commission from the president of the not as of to europe and commission. Those that up on the line is here. Also of course, kenya is president and as United Nations secretary general antonio, texas, that will be very interesting panels that we will closely follow in on food security, on climate finance architecture and on halls also on how to green manufacture, minerals from the continents. Mario, thank you so much. That was the w, as in mary a little in, i wrote me now, germany used to have a pirates party. They long ago sank into political obscurity. But now get ready for germanys pirate chancellor. All f schultz has posted this picture of himself on social media after a full as a result of a running accident, his doctors gave a have advised him to wear and i patched for the next few weeks. Despite his injuries show seems in good spirits. He says, it looks worse than it is and that hes excited to see the means that he was new look might inspire and captain, that is chancellor schultz will not be disappointed. A boatload of pirate means are surfacing from the online depths of the internet. The position to see a shift plus the volume or above labels. So to bring us as a renter was leaving. So riverside german politics is boring. Just reminder for top story.
