Driver. Tribes in cigna for that im more coming up in the public phone really as welcome to the program. We start with breaking news because a long awaited prisoner swap between around and the United States is underway. 5 do us rainy and citizens have arrived and though hind katara after leaving t, ron, they are being exchanged for 5 or radians held in the United States to ryan agreed to release the prisoners including c amok. And im a z and a rainy, an american businessman sentence to prison for espionage, a charge his family rejects around is getting access to 6000000000. 00. An oil revenue that was frozen, bite sized korea. Irans Foreign Ministry confirmed the money would be transferred to a bank account in katara, where the agreement allows it to be used for 2 monetary and purposes. Lets get more on the story from dw special correspondent to abraham, who joins us now from washington, dc. And you go to c, u, so the 5 us citizens appear to have arrived in katara. What more can you tell us . Well, we know that they will 1st to be processed in doha and then theyre expected to board another flight and make their way to the washington dc area where they are expected to re unite with their families. We saw the images of them coming out of the plane on the tarmac. You know, these are emotional moments that their families are, you know, have been waiting for, for as long as 8 years. One of the prisoners that was released today has been in evan prison since october of 2015. And so this is really a moment of relief for the families. And thats really what the bite and administration is going to emphasize onto the emphasize today, i think that they are committed to bringing americans back home despite the Harsh Criticism that this particular agreement has faced. The, you know, the flip side, the bright side is that these people are now back home and that, that will be their focus moving forward. Well, lets talk about that criticism a, because that video has been heavily criticized in the United States. Why is that . Right, so republicans have criticized the steel saying that it shows that the United States is weak on the global stage. Theres also that issue of the 6000000000. 00 of funds that have been on a frozen and, and now itd be running and wishing will have access to them. But the, by the administration has been very clear that there are only 3 things that you know, this money is for, thats food medicine and Agricultural Products. And that they have reached some kind of mechanism agreement with the guitar is because the money will be transferred 1st to the 30 central bank of been dispensed from. There that they have reached an agreement with the categories that if theres any sign that, that money is being used for anything else that you know of that, that on freezing process can be reversed. American iranians. Some have also criticized this deal. Seeing that this puts them in jeopardy of the us does advise it citizens against travel to iran, but some still have to go for, you know, to visit families or some business and run doesnt recognize dual citizenship. And so they feel that you running americans. Ive spoken to, they feel that this makes them all a target and that if the swan because he wants something out of the us, they would just pulled them uh hostages. And that this indeed makes the world a less safe place for american citizens around the world. If they are in a country, you know where they can just be grabbed and then used as blackmail to get something out of the us government. Could this need to any tolts between the United States and around of the and a briefing. Us officials have made it very clear that this doesnt change anything when it comes to their very strict policy towards but youre wrong and regime. They still consider the runyan regime of the state sponsor of terrorism, and the in the anniversary of the death of you know, mazda, i mean, you the 22 year old woman who died last year in Police Custody allegedly for not wearing her mandatory subject properly, a president ial bite and made a statement of supporting the protests. And in addition to that, as you know, at the same time in the same breath of these, the disagreement or dis swap, indeed the implementation of the agreement was announced a new section. So ive actually been, you know, announced on iran and former president medina, jet and also on iranian intelligence. So its, its difficult to see how this move might actually far relations between the us and they run or lead to, or restarting, of anything around the nuclear. Do thanks. A dw special correspondent to abraham reporting from washington dc. World leaders are gathering in new york for the 70 United Nations General Assembly countries are being urged to help the worlds poorest people and the address major challenges. Top of the agenda are Climate Change and the so called Sustainable Development goals. There and im bishop said of agreements that were designed to eliminate poverty and improve the health and wellbeing of people around the world, but progress towards improving the environment and health are far off track and, and in some cases are even going backwards. And the un secretary general urge leaders to fulfill their commitments. You made a solemn promise. The problem is to build a world of Health Progress and the opportunity for all the problem is to leave no one behind. And the problem is to pay for its this was not the problem is made whether or not that is the plummets from the coal fonts of these gym. But it was always a problem is to people what, what countries around the world falling behind on 85 percent of their agreed Sustainable Development goals come the agreement to be called a failure. I asked Laurel Patterson, the Spokes Person for the United Nations development program. Thats like list. Thank you for having me. In the progress is as youre seeing across the board is, is certainly not were, we expected it to be in many cases diamond enrolling backwards. And yet the a, c, d. s remain the best opportunity for us as a Global Community to move forward. And this is precisely where you, n d p has put the emphasis in work with 95 countries. Not only to bring that level of ambition and evidence, a credible set of pathways moving forward not only into the sun, which is taking place as we speak, but also moving from it into the 2nd half. That many of the experts weve spoken to say the resources are there to change course, but theres a lack of political will have you see it is indeed the resources are there. It is a complex picture, particularly when you look across 95 countries. And sometimes this is math, when we only consider the, the average is that a global level . But what we do find is that the forest countries in the world whos been 2. 00 times more servicing their day, then the new one on, on social assistance. And this is a real challenge because whats coming through over and over again and our reports, is it the reason ambition to create pathways and choices for people that offer them more dignity that are more sustainable and protecting of our planet . But indeed that fiscal sleep space is incredibly constrained and when toys are so constrained is not the choices for the planet, the ones that were seeing, we now, and what comes across all of our report 72 out of the 95 countries, is it carpet images are moving in the wrong direction. Theyve actually increased since 2019 and these are in deep trouble in potters. What will tell us what needs to actually happen to a lot of the world to reach its goals by 2030 so just 7 years from now. One of the most powerful things about the s t g is in the 2030 again, that the cities integrated. It was designed as the systems agenda, with the full understanding, the challenges of crises intersect in our choices of implications beyond the immediate purview. So what we see to not work with 95. 00 countries is if theres an opportunity to identify areas that can have multiplier effects. Countries are seeing those and making choices in decent jobs for all that also promotes opportunities for women and effective institutions that provides a very strong and more fear. Foundation for economic pro to resilience. Infrastructure as a driver of innovation, but also as a driver of choices for the planet and also sustainable cities. Of course, the urban and the language are such a important drivers. Are you hopeful that progress can be made this week . And i am hopeful that progress can be made. I get into the earlier points, its really, its not impossible for us to make progress. Its a combination of choices, leadership, political will and investment. And thats when doing our hands to do. Those are choices that are possible for us, so im hopeful Laurel Patterson spokesperson for the United Nations development program. Thank you for being a dw and use today. Thank you for having me.

He was in a Critical Condition in hospital. Its not certain when the video was filmed, ukrainian intelligence had reported he was in a coma, due to a serious illness. There is one of russia staunchest supporters of war in ukraine. Really, the ukraine plans to suit your opinion, neighbors, poland, hungry, and slovakia over their decision to bind ukrainian brain in ports. Ukraine has been unable to use its favorite roots via the black sea since the russian invasion, and is dependent on deck on exporting its Agricultural Products through these neighboring countries.

The port city of durn when 2 dimes broke in the mountains following a powerful storm large areas of during that were washed away and thousands killed. Now, further west, closer to by guys its fear, the why the judge and why the tar at times are at risk of suffering the same site. Local authorities insist theyre both functioning well, but the un says its concerned about the reports. The dams are dealing with huge amounts of pressure as well for more on the situation in libya, we can have till to run our syfy assistant chief of Mission Protection for the Un Refugee Agency in libya, and joins us from the Northern City of bang ghazi, welcome to dw news, so you just returned from during the describe to us what you witness there. Thank you. Hello. Hello. The were, im in the just junk return from there and i was there with my colleagues. I was there also a part of the you and inter Agency Mission to conduct a preliminary assessment. I have, i mean, i was very rare 16. We saw complete destruction and theyre not even on the way to their knowledge. So road east of that were splits and have ive seen one or 2, many homes and shops that were submerged entire of, of mines and have been submerged under water. And there, there seems to be an incredible sat and heavy moved on the city, obviously because of all of the individuals love passed away as a result of this disaster. But its been over a week now since the dams burst. Tell us whats needed right now in the affected region or so when we were there this past friday, the one of the main needs continues the search and rescue. There were stories of youre welcome to events of families or an individual. So being down to life under the rebels. So the government and the local authorities were saying that they need more search and rescue teams and more supports with either extracting the purchases from the sea. Because a lot of the courses have been washed over to the sea or risk and individuals were under the rebels. So that was the immediate need. Weve also is unique, provided for items like mattresses and solar laps and other nonce which items as well as hygiene chips to almost a 1500. 00 individuals. And this was last week at the aftermath of the store at the moment of the needs continues to be search and rescue. I know that the, at this point in time, the hope of finding more survivors is decreasing. But theres still some help. However, the continued needs right now is really to focus on the displacement. This is a disaster that has called new displacements and also a secondary displacement to, to those who were already displaced. It has completely demolished and destroyed the infrastructure, power cards, very good coverage in terms of network, but also in terms of what we call the protection response, meaning focusing on children. Those have been separated from their families, ensuring that they are hosted by individuals who are related to them or can provide them proper support. Also in terms of survivors of ginger, be filing. And lastly, but not least, of course, Mental Health supports the everybody mentioned this. All of the government officials that we met with and the hosts, communities that we met with, mentions a need for psycho social supports as a long term assistance to be provided to the survivors. Sounds like a truly terrible situation there and that the un is also warning that 2 times nearly be a 2nd citibank guys, which is where you are now.

And i, i dont have any, some confirmed, or concrete information on the risk of these, the potential of these damn being destroyed. But i do know that the, the, the engineers are conducting assessments. And of course it would be were all hoping that this is not something that will be recurring because theres already a disaster that needs to leave. Yeah. And you know, it would be a disaster. Ill come to a disaster if this happens work again. I dont have any information, so i cannot tell you that is indeed the case moment. Well, libya has experienced a years of civil war and have the countries run by 2 rival governments. Has that been problematic for the you when in trying to get aid to those who need it most . I think the governments in, on both in the west and in the east have, have made it very clear that a is their receipts of age and a provision, aid and assistance to their citizen is the priority uniques times. You know, its a humanitarian agency and we work through providing the humanitarian aid to those affected all kinds of disasters. Seller focus here in libya is to provide this humanitarian aid to ensure it arrives to the survivors as soon as possible and what are closely with the local authorities and our local partners like live a free example in ensuring that this is not just an Immediate Response but then we are also looking at the mid to long term. The doctor is not going to go away any time when were talking about the keys to years from now for reconstruction. We havent refused to not to mention stuff.
