easton, you crime government forces and russia back separatists are blaming each other for artillery attacks. what, who are probably more residents of log nitika, can see their attackers on mortar shells allegedly fired by russian vac separatists have rained down on their village in recent days for 8 years the no one war, but no, it's escalating. who's a champ chitlit's table? it's washed in 2014 butcher. they were fighting less. i teacher. i know the head has every day when you were on the edge of nervous breakdowns and there's nowhere to run. do you understand that when you might oh, next door. the youngest village are seeks maternal comforter. yes, gas and electricity have been cut off here. they come with 3 generations caught up in a conflict and they cannot escape. good day by dr. me up being who will take us then let me be for a day or 2. but what about after that? and when i come back,

there will be nothing ruins ish for my energy brought it dr. wood. at last. michael on sunday, a glimmer of hope. french president, manuel macro, juggled the phones between joe biden and vladimir putin. his off they said they had agreed in principle to a summit the jelly days, but the ukrainian foreign minister welcomed the news. we hope, of course, if human being someone who desperately wants to weigh the war, we hope that 2 presidents will walk out from the room with an agreement right about russia with robin gets forces from ukraine. he was in brussels as a special guest at a meeting of european foreign ministers in japan. i was recently appeal to the russian government and to the russian president. i do not play with human lives. the e u has mostly agreed on a package of sanctions. know the debate is about when to apply them before or after

a possible invasion for all the signs of a diplomatic breakthrough. new evidence so far that moscow is de escalating unnoticed. say this footage appears to show a russian breakthrough formation just kilometer from ukraine. campbell from dw correspondent at nick connelly in that key if welcome neck. let's start with those russian claims that killed 5 sapir tears who crossed into russia from ukraine. what are you here? warranty that has this come through in the last hour, although this is supposed have happened this morning. we haven't seen any pictures . and the russian side saying that to ukrainian military vehicles then crossed into russia to try and help those supposed saboteurs to come back to return them to ukrainian sol. neither pictures of those are destroyed a cause that the russians talk about all those 5 as suppose it ukrainian special services people. this does look a lot like the false flag corporation that we've had us intelligence warning about

for week saying is that is what russia is planning to create a cause for intervention to create a reason to go to war with ukraine. we've had similar news out of the russian back separatists enclaves for years now them accusing ukraine, special services of lots of different attacks and interventions, but nothing so far from the russian side. so this really is quite a significant development buquet has joined the united states in talking up the imminence of a russian invasion. the prime minister spokesman says mister proteins plan has already begun. how's that being received their care? well, as throughout this crisis, people here in ukraine are for the most part, hoping this is all just a bluff. this is all attempt to put pressure on ukraine's making concessions. overdone bass may be recognized. russian control of crimea. refusal basically disavow its attempts to join nato, but for most people they still feels quite abstract,

quite unreal. and they don't really want to believe that they could see russian tank some of which are now in belarus. less than 100 kilometers away from give on their streets. but i think this optic involved in don't bass, which really has brought the kind of selling and the conflict back to where it was 56 years ago in terms the intensity that really is going to be worried. and you hear more more people talking about making preparations, packing bags in case they need to leave in a hurry, making sure they have enough cash in foreign currency to pay for their way to safety. so definitely, and a sense here that this is getting more real and more threatening by the hour. thank you for that. an economy and q will dw chief political correspondent melinda crane. can tell us more about german diplomatic efforts in this crisis. welcome belinda. chancellor shaw says, due to call that the year russian president vladimir putin, later on the face to face meeting in moscow last week. what does mister schultz hope to achieve? well, on saturday, at a major international security conference here in germany, in the city of munich,

chancellor sholtes described his aims in relations with russia as quote, as much diplomacy as possible without being naive. so specifically, in this case, that means that after a long call yesterday with french president my car, chancellor schultz intends to reinforce the message that there is still a diplomatic path. and as far as we're hearing, he also plans to advocate a summit meeting between the u. s. and russian president's president, my cross says that in his own call with president putin on sunday, the latter agreed in principle to a meeting. but the kremlin this morning has been denying any plan for a summit. also, the us and nato have made very specific offers to russia addressing. it's called for security guarantees. and russia hasn't picked up on any of those. rather, it has up its own list of demands to include conditions like an ada withdrawal from eastern europe, which is simply not going to be met. and as you said,

the u. k is saying that on the basis of its intelligence, it believes that proteins playbook for a russian attack already has begun. so with all of that in mind, whether the hope of a summit now falls within the realm of naivete, as celestial puts jolts puts it, is an open question. i am the nod stream to gas pipeline, which is due to bring brush and gas to germany is often quoted as being germany strongest bargaining chip. and mr. shops has yet to suppress. if we put it on the table, there's not likely to change. he avoids mentioning the name of nord stream to the gas pipeline, but the fact is that he has said in no uncertain terms that there is no difference between his own position and that of his western partners. that the package of sanctions that they have agreed amongst themselves will be very tough and painful indeed. and the german foreign minister who of course is directly under the

chancellor, made it quite explicit at that security conference in munich that nord stream absolutely is part of that package. so i think whereas there may have been some initial hesitancy, some weeks ago, that is no longer the case. you crime. so a foreign minister attended a meeting of e u, a foreign ministers in brussels to day. what have you been hearing from that meeting? where the ukrainian foreign minister mister collaborate called on his e, you colleagues, to consider imposition of at least some sanctions on russia. now rather than waiting for an invasion, and he said to them quite directly, it's time that the e, you walks the walk, he got some backing on that request from his lithuanian car counterpart. but the baltic representatives of course, are feeling very, very much at risk with the russian build up so close to their own borders. however, the majority of e u foreign ministers at the meeting, opposed his suggestion,

saying sanctions are punished, meant for action taken, and shouldn't be imposed in advance. however, the foreign ministers did green might at 1200000000 euro package of loans to assist ukraine over the next year, saying that the current tensions are having a very detrimental effect on ukraine's economic stability. thank you to that, which is political correspondent, belinda cry. would take a look at some more stores making headlines around the world now, starting with a credit suisse bank, which is facing allegations that he'd managed hundreds of millions of dollars, big 2 suspected war criminals, autocrats and drug dealers claims come from a cross order media investigation following an inside data lead leak credit suisse rejects the allegations. lease in new zealand made arrests during a pre dawn operation to set a roadblocks around to protest camp outside the country. parliament authorities

stein maya has put it. and so they really want to know from the senegalese partners, what do you need? what makes sense? how can we be involved in this emissions m in in marley to foster security? now of course, germany has to extend its mandates for the bond is very for the german army to x, the to, to actually do these missions in may. and so that is by clarified are stein my a will feed back some of the information that he will be getting here in the car from his partner's back to the german government and also to german parliament. so that they can make an informed decision by protest i may or has said that germany does see its role is slightly different from that of france. but at the same time, he's also said that germany, of course, has to make sure that the lives of a german soldiers are not put out too much risk covered as well as part of this

trip. the president asked you to visit the side where you will help study. go build up one of just 3 covered production up for duck covered vaccine production plans on the african continent. yeah, president stein my actually it's the stress, the fact that this trip is only the past in his new period in office. he was re elected merely a week ago and already this trip is taking him to senegal because he says it is so vital to get this moving. president time, i was one of the 1st to what back when it 1st hits europe, as well as that says to vaccines for africa is vital to get out of the pandemic world wide. and of course, germany was one of the most active donors as well in the kovak sniffs initiative. but now we've reached a point. so stein maya, where it's not just about distributing vaccines from europe to africa. it's about

how to foster production here by african companies. and that is why, by on tech, the german company comes in, germany is supporting that project where biotech willis and essentially send containers where m r n a vaccines can be produced here, also in conjunction with african partners. now the topic of patent waivers is not so much on the agenda here. germany has positioned itself very clearly against that, saying that would only pose the risk that other continents would benefit, not africa, which is why they're now stressing the fact that by and take comes here with the idea to also transfer some of the knowledge. some of the know how so that here in senegal, but also in ronda and possibly gonna, vaccines can actually be produced. m r n a. not just to fight, prove it, but also other diseases. ok for w, putting corresponded in a house or in duck. not sure if

their voices can not yet be heard. a firefighters in northern argentina are struggling to contain massive wildfire that have been burning for weeks across 800000 hector as a farm land and national park lac visor being fueled by hot dry conditions under unprecedented and an area but normally received plenty. right. these fires have been burning for weeks in korean t, as province after an unprecedented drought and extreme heat turned the normally rainy area into a tinderbox. the flames have burned through forests and past is alike in the largely rural region and a forced animals in the better national park. argentina's largest wetland to flee or die via fight is from all over argentina. a scrambling to help with locals have been left reeling. b b cord, dody, this is

a typical, it's historic, it's never happened. we've never lived with something like this is when we were really overwhelmed. this is what i can tell you. now, this is a blow for the promise. who give developers at least 9 percent of the province has already gone up in smoke. authorities estimate them more than $240000000.00 in damage has been done so far. i worry about it about the truth is that koreans, his province is going through a catastrophe with the fires. a lot of animals have been lost flora, and fauna. and on top of that, there's the jobs. what is to become of us if it's all lost to morrow, over them with firefighters and locals? a hopeful that the arrival of rain on monday might finally suffocate the flames. b, a climate journalist her tie a scary alara joins us from what a sorry, so welcome to d. w. this is extraordinary parkland, farmland, and westland all burning. what caused this?

well, we are seen on ambrose under them as the to asian, off drop in, in the countries things at 2 years these because of cars on the box, on climate change. but we are also not seeing better pricing how to prevent the fires and also how to act better once a fire begun. right, so this is an area which would not normally see wildfires. is that right? well, it's an area where it's normal that may be some local producers. they tried to add, they create fire, they start fire in are then you know, to renew the land to continue with their, with their, their productive activity. but the thing is that the draw that the we are seeing today is not the same draw. now maybe you had 10 years ago because of climate

change, that they're all that you're going to have it in 5 years is not going to be the same draw that you have today. so it's not possible for them to contain uncontrolled, the fire so. so once these start the fire they can control and because you have the perfect condition for the fire, you have a wrong, you don't have members of education and you have very high temperatures. so once the fire began at, then you have the crisis on the critical situation that you see today. ok, so we have climb magic, dr. climatic conditions. create a situation where once the spot goes up, you have this enormous conflagration. what happens after let's, let's presume that, but firefighters do eventually bring this under control? what sort of long lasting damage can a fire like this have when we done and we do not have like

yet, that information, even we do not have any numbers of how many animals have been affect. but yes, what to what we already know that there are a lot of no kind of organizations, like for example, require the national tina foundation they are starting to working on to think on on how they are going like to restart the on on how they are going like to continue to maintain all the work that they have been doing during the last years. it's very difficult and i think that your question is very interesting because, you know, the fire is on the news. and when the fire is actually by the ones, the fire extinguisher, we don't, we do not see. i know we do know local communities. if these are gonna say share and then even use the local producers receive the necessary support in order to try to do you know, like to continue with their activities and how to continue out the after the fire.

ok, thank you so much for learning that so clearly for us a climate during the start time that got a lotta and argentina. thank sports. i will start with football a sunday action in the bonus league i saw a real gold fest 2nd place opened easily defeated, the struggling black box fixed. no. i'm with a dormant captain, marco roche running wild against his former club. when it showed that when it rains, it pours jordan in, look to keep pace behind goon. to seek a leader's byron as they hosted the other bruce. yeah. for munching. glad back on a rainy night at 6, now they do not park. but these fans were in for a treat. dornan came on flying with captain michael royce making one new and the 26 minutes. the former, glad back man has been known to enjoy scoring against his former employers. danielle malin doubled the lead shortly after. mullin finished off
