bavaria in southern germany. she told me earlier about the situation in the area. well, i'm in this little town of d doff. it's about 10 minutes from ox book. and just to give you an idea of the situation, let's look here behind me. and what you might have to take for late is actually a path leading from one to the to the next. but it is definitely completely flooded because of dikes broke just a bit upstream flooding the entire area. he and i've spoken to people he and lot of them had to leave the homes to some people. it was in the basement, some even had which on the ground floor and somewhat. and so i could buy the water to an extent that they had to get out by a helicopter. so everyone here told me they haven't seen something like this in decades. so how would people coping is an emergency shelter that has been set up just here around the corner and i took to

the fire per gauge. they are leaving the operations here on the ground. they say all the boots, every man, every woman that can help is now being deployed, but they've overgrown by just how many volunteers have shown up to help them. so in the shelter, for example, the food that is being soft to people that had to leave the homes, had to be evacuated, is being prepared. but other volunteers who have just come up and cook some boom food for others. so what we can really tell is that's on the 13th is huge also here in this region. and what really makes the biggest difference to everyone is that no one has sofa been hud. no one has died. and that is obviously the most important thing to everyone here. so there's good news there. um, what's the outlook at the moment? so when i drove here yesterday, the have rain was so heavy, i hardly could make my way into the area. and right now you can tell the rain has

stopped, but it is set to continue i to, to the emergency forces. and they told me that i'm now hoping for water to spring night maybe will to levels even to go down to this with it. but they are definitely not giving an ok yet. they are subbing the situation further and obviously with all the times that i'm now being built. additionally dykes that could still break. we're definitely not having the situation a 100 percent under control yet. that is so dw, that has a volunteer in outbreak. thank you tessa. a ukrainian president of a lot of his zalinski has accused china and russia of trying to disrupt an upcoming piece of that on the war in ukraine. so lensky said badging is pressuring other nations not to attend. he was speaking at the shangri la dialogue conference in singapore, with defense ministers from around the world present. it is only the 2nd time

zalinski has travel to asia since russia launched its full scale invasion. green proposed savanski said more than $100.00 countries and organizations had signed up to the peace summit taking place in switzerland this month and urged asia pacific nations to join. we are disappointed that some world leaders have not yet conformed their but just patient in the be simon. unfortunately, there are also attempts to disrupt the assignments. we do not want to believe that this is a desire for one, a ballistic power in the world to deny the global community, the opportunity to decide on war and peace. and to leave these power in the hands of one or 2. let's get more on this from dw correspondent georg mattress, who joins us now from single poor georg zalinski says some countries are attempting to disrupt the upcoming piece summit. what's behind this sl,

actually the position of china that they feel any peace conference should have equally representation of, of both parties in this war. so i, the ukraine and russia is not nothing new. they have made that point several times before this. the conference on the point, whether a china has in any way, tried to convince others or forced others not to attend that conference. that is something that presidents lensky put in front of the press. uh, just uh, a few moments ago here in a stronger law in singapore. and i talked to a chinese going to get on the sidelines of this would be nights that that is the case. so that is, is inconclusive. whether that is really the case, it's a navigation that the president savanski has put forward. the point he made is that in total, a $106.00 nations, if not,

would reach to join the peace conference in switzerland. we understand another significant issue discussed at this summit was the tension between china and taiwan . can you tell us more about that? i would say, i mean obviously you have to of the time chinese and the american defense minister here in singapore. and when it comes to the state of taiwan, i think the classical arguments we have seen in the past has been exchanged here. what one him he has a take away from this conference is basically how it started with the 1st in person meeting between the american and the chinese defense ministers. i think my impression is, after those 2 or 3 days here at the security summit is that neither sides wants to apply for more or less into the fire. a positive take away if you want to is that talks on military level, are about to restart in the upcoming weeks. and that is

a positive sign coming from the summit when it comes to the chinese us rivalry here in the region. that's a dw correspondent gateway mathis in singapore. many thanks scale a quick look now at some of the other stories making news around the world at this hour in israel. crowds turned out in tel aviv urging their government to accept the ceasefire proposal for gaza after the us put forward. the plan is real, damp, and hopes for peace, saying it will pursue the war until it has achieved all it's in a moss has responded positively to the two's proposal. south africa's political parties are looking ahead to coalition talks, following a collapse and support for the amc, but one potential kingmaker, former president jacob juma ledgers. the election was wrecked and is threatening legal action to challenge the results. the runs former president not move ok. my
