Foreign minister have spoken for the 1st time since russia invaded ukraine in february, in a phone call. Anthony blink. And warn survey lab ralph, that would be consequences if russia tries to an ex more regions of ukraine. Meanwhile, ukraine and russia have accused each other of attacking a prison in the separatist held don bass region and killing at least 40 prisoners of war. Most of them were from the as of battalion that defended the city of mary paul before it fell to russia. And then ukraines black c port ships are now laden with grain and ready to set sail, but a signal is needed from turkey. Im the United Nations before they can leave. Well bring you know of that in a moment, but 1st lets get more on the blink and lab for a phone call from rosa jordan, whos live at the Us State Department in washington. D. C. Could see ross a difficult, uneasy conversation, no doubt, between 2 top diplomats unlikely to have seen eye to eye. Thats right. And in fact, something which the u. S. Has said for weeks about russias conduct in the war, it doesnt see any indication that moscow is interested in trying to negotiate an end to the war. And certainly that was one of the points which antony blank and the u. S. Secretary of state, raised during his press conference earlier on friday with reporters, he said that he told sergei love rob the Russian Foreign minister. That any idea about trying to claim as russian territory. Lou, hans done yeske or any other part of ukraine simply would not be tolerated. This is the secretary of state. I also made clear to form his de la brought that in light of recent statements coming from the kremlin about their plans to proceed with the further annexation of ukrainian territory. Indeed, the Foreign Ministers onwards without replacing a democratically elected ukrainian government, as well as being part of their ongoing plans. Those plans would ever be certain the world will not recognize annexations. We will impose additional significant costs on russia if it moves forward with plans and roles. Another topic of conversation, the potential for a significant prisoner swap between russia and the United States. This time, any progress on that well, secretary of state blinked and did not want to say that any progress has been made. But the fact that he was able to speak directly with sergei la rob, about the fate of w. N. B, a star, brittany griner, and the former us marine paul whelan, who has been convicted of spy charges and has been held in russia for the past 4 years. The fact that that conversation happened, the u. S. Considers a significant step forward. Now the russian, the u. S has suggested that it might be willing to us swap the russian arms, a merchant, victor boot in exchange for greiner and we lynch freedom. However, the Russian Foreign minister indicated through the Russian ForeignMinistry Spokesperson that the any such discussion a prisoner swabs should be happening behind closed doors, through diplomatic channels, not in public. So we dont know if any progress was made, but certainly our secretary of state blinking was at least as satisfied that he was able to make the case directly to his russian counterpart.

Germany is already adopting measures to reduce energy consumption, including turning off spotlights and hot water. In some public buildings, step ration has more now, from burling. More than 200 buildings public building here in berlin will go darker for the next coming weeks, at least to save energy. And not only that, this is also a show for people here in germany as a symbol of how to save energy, because not only the government this urge to save energy but the public as well. But this is one bit appeal, of course, that the germans know have to swallow because of their dependency on russian gas and oil for the energy supply. And this is also a result of a Meeting House in brussels by d.

Gus form has already also decreased gas supplies to germany again from north frame one, which is one of the major suppliers of gas to europe is around 30 percent of all the supply is coming from north stream one and its now reduced to only one 5th of the normal supply, so theres a lot of worry, of course, for the coming winter, the Storage Facilities that europe in countries including germany, you wont be full to actually make everyone comfortable and warm.

Daniels joins me now from camp policies, the director, Deputy Director general of the International Organization for migration. Thanks for joining us. How are countries and organizations like yours planning to deal with a phenomenon that is effectively rendering parts of the earth . Uninhabitable where food cant grow where people simply cant live. And thank you jonah, for having me. Its a pleasure to be here for organizations such as the International Organization for migration and the brother you and family. We were very honored to support the historic declaration today because its about bringing urgent attention to the devastating impact of Climate Change on migration in the region, but also about what is required for urgent action. Id also like to highlight that the declaration to day. Yes, its about the region, but this is a global issue. So today was a milestone, but the journey is to get to copy the global meeting, taking place in egypt later this year. Were the whole world will come together to discuss the impact of Climate Change, what, what was short of effective global measures to tackle Climate Change itself. The focus must surely be on adaptation mitigation in these parts of the world. Are the horn of africa experiencing drought, the worst in 40 years . Dwindling resources, rising temperatures, no rain. Is it possible to talk about adaptation in parts of the world like that . Its not only possible, its absolutely necessary. Its about technology, education, information, laws and policies. Data and research that will enable people, communities, governments to protect the environment, to sustainably grow food, raise their livestock, use Water Resources in a way that does not further degrade the environment. Its about protecting the environment, protecting the wetlands. So adaptation is an absolute must in order to admit in order to address the impact of Climate Change in the region and for the world. The other big focus of your, of your conference, of course, was migration specifically as a result of Climate Change. We see record numbers of people leaving africa for european shores, arriving in places like the sicilian island of lamp producer. To what extent does this sort of migration become inevitable . On the one hand, as a consequence of Climate Change and to some degree irreversible as well . Well, 1st and foremost, in many context, we see that migration is inevitable. And actually desirable migrants are contributing to economies around the world both and destination countries and where they come from in their home countries. But its about ensuring that migration is always safe, orderly, regular, and that people can move in a dignified way. What were talking about now is when climate, along with many other factors that force a person force, families force people to move as a regular forces them into very vulnerable situations. Forces them into areas where there, where theyve either they, they lose their lives, they lose their livelihoods. This is what we are talking about when we say the impact of Climate Change on migration and force displacement. We need to be able to prevent to mitigate and to adapt this in response to the impact Climate Change is having. So that as you say, fewer people are migrating under a regular and highly vulnerable circumstances. You go to daniels, were gonna have to leave it that Deputy Director general of the iowa many thanks for your time. Thank you. Now firefighters in turkey are battling a blaze threatening a residential area on the south west coast. The fire spread to a hotel thats also used as a tourism training center. No one was hurt. You authority say strong winds and high temperatures of fanning flames, closer to homes in the seaside town of camella, near maurice Scientists Say human induced Climate Change is making heat waves, more likely and more severe. The Mediterranean Sea is experiencing a 70 day heat wave with higher than usual surface temperatures reported since may. The temperature is more than 5 degrees above average between the coasts of italy and france, according to compare the copernicus marine services. The surface temperature reached 27 degrees in july and some pockets are close to 30 degrees. The temperatures are similar to the 27 to 37 degrees thought to have occurred in the late cretaceous period when dinosaurs wrote the earth well 19 point. 7 degrees was the average surface temperature in the mediterranean from 2003, up to 2019 ferdinand boy arrow is a marine biologist. He says many species of Mediterranean Sea life simply cant cope with an increase in c temperature. The water then becomes warm, air is in the 1st lay years, so the heat arrives from the sun, it penetrates in the water. And that is a layer of water that these hot there and the depth of these layer increases when the temperatures become too high. And so they cause negative conditions to the species that theyre not adapted to warm temperatures and death leave deeper than the usually warmed up waters. In the summer. These opens the door to tropical species, because these increasing temperatures have not only in the mediterranean yet also in the tropics. And the species that are adapted to high temperatures cannot withstand the temperatures that now are present in the tropics. And so they move into the mediterranean.

Brazil in spain have reported the 1st monkey pops related deaths outside of africa in the current outbreak. The brazilian victim was a 41 year old man who also suffered from lymphoma and a weakened immune system. The spanish authorities have not released details of the person who died there. The World Health Organization has declared the rapidly spreading outbreak, a Global Health emergency. Now brazils Environmental Authority has given permission for a major highway to be paved through the center of the amazon rain forest threatening to increase deforestation. President , jaya both scenario had pledged to re pave the b r 319 and 870 kilometer highway that runs from my mouse to portobello originally built in the 1970. Its now in a state of disrepair, environmentalist, se repaving. The road will allow illegal loggers and land grabbers to access remote areas of the rain forest more easily. A recent study found the project would result in a 5 fold rise in deforestation by 2030. The equivalent of an area larger than the u. S. State of florida or carla snowbrite is an Earth Science and earth system scientist at the university of south paula whose work mostly focuses on the amazon and its impacts on the system. He joins me now live from south jose, das santos das campus. I beg your pardon, thanks so much for joining us. Lets talk about the consequences of this road because one road is bad enough. This one running south to north, through the amazon, but it opens the way doesnt it to much, much greater abuses and damage of this extraordinary natural system. Yes, for sure. Because for instance, the state governor of the state of amazon us where this road will cover most of its length has announced that as soon as the roll is road is paid, it still comes on as we built, 2 east west roads, calvary areas, all protected with forests areas we conservation units areas with envision so resource. So that will make deforestation explodes in that state. Thats the state largest amount of rain forest in the bridge. You know, amazon. So its a very bad idea to pay these roads and really to continue to develop this, this way of developing infrastructure rolled infrastructure then, which is the main driver of the for a station. And now also the main driver of the explosion of organized crime, etc. In the amazon, well thats what i was going to bring up next. Was the, the spin off effects. Its not just the environment, its the illegal logging. Its the illegal mining that becomes possible. Its the fishing, the over fishing that happens on a coast drug running as well. All of these things go with exploration of the amazon and will increase with more of it. Absolutely, of course, i mean, this is legal crime. They happen even with approval transportation systems. However, as soon as there is opening enrolled, then the legal lent, grabby becomes exponential. And then all the other, the organized crime will act together in the this illegal and grabbing miami, fishing wildlife trafficking and also drug trafficking, exploding the amazon and with the roads. It will become almost not a place on earth you will be placed on a different planet because it will be completely control by organized crime. Kind of snowbrite simple question. This road, can it be stopped . Well, we have to be optimistic that in the Upcoming Elections in october in brazil, we are going to, you know, really do not reelect the current president and also in columbia for president petrol, which will be swarming in a few days. Has a very positive political discourse, finding a new Development Paradigm for the coloma amazon. So we, if we change the present in brazil, i think brazil will join columbia and brazil columbia certainly can start a new way to sustainably develop the amazon. We thought these big roads. Another simple question for you, if in the most optimistic outcome we do end up with a sort of set of regional leaders with a different view on the amazon. Can the damage done be reversed . Well we, we have to reverse the damage done already because the all of southern amazon from the Atlantic Ocean all the way to bolivia, amazon is very, very, very near the Tipping Point of being or diesel period force turning into a very degraded open camera ecosystem. What we call this Tipping Point. So we have to stop deforestation force that revision wild fires and they create a tremendously huge force risk restoration project. Restoring hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of the greater the force areas in the amazon. If we do that, we are going to combat climate emergency. We are going to protect by diversity. Were going to develop a new by economy and we are going to benefit all of the amazon or population, particularly the usual people. Hopeful stuff, carlos abra, amazon expert earth systems, scientists, thank you so much for your thoughts. Thank you. And while there are warnings of catastrophic consequences, if the worlds 2nd biggest rain forest is opened up to drilling, but that hasnt stopped the licensing rights for 30 oil and gas blocks in the democratic republic of congo from going to auction.

Its auctioning of oil and Gas Development rights to 30 blocks of peak land, Tropical Forest in the congo facing law come to d. I see. The president insists this does not mean as government is backtracking on commitments made at loss is un Climate Summit. I would like to reassure our partners afford determination to carrot exploration, using modern technology that protects the environment, the foreigner and the flora, and preserves the ecosystems and ecological balance. The congo basin covers 530000000 hectors in Central Africa and his home to 70 percent of the continents forests. Some of the blocks, the d. R congo plant to develop are located on lay cable lake tank nika. One is an a coastal reason alongside the albertine grey been in the east african rift valley. Are the plots are in the for room guy National Park home to protected mountain gorillas and other endangered species. Environmentalists in climate activists or drilling in these areas could be catastrophic. Were talking about a very sensitive ecosystem quoting 50, and that youre storing more than 50 be dont ton of carbon. And that is about 3 year of image under your over mission of the entire planet. That means any oil expectation in this area would be a carbon bombed objects. It will be exposed, and that you model, you wont be to stem any more.
