a bite knocked on me at 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. he store my n g brought a doctor with at last. michael on sunday, a glimmer of hope. french president, manuel micron juggled the forged between joe biden and vladimir putin. his off they said they had agreed in principle to a summit. it's early days, but the ukrainian foreign minister welcomed the news. we hope of course, as human beings to someone who desperately wants to avoid the war. we hope that 2 presidents will walk out from the room with an agreement. reinhold russia was drawing his forces from ukraine. he was in brussels as a special guest at a meeting of european foreign ministers in japan, neither i enduringly kenya was i are gently appealed to the russian government and to the russian president, do not play with human lives. the

e u has mostly agreed on a package of sanctions. now the debate is about when to apply them before or after a possible invasion for all the signs of a diplomatic break through no evidence so far that moscow is de escalating. analysts say this footage appears to show a rush in breakthrough formation, just kilometers from ukraine. straight to another ukranian capital van rejoined d w. a correspondent nick connelly. welcome nick let's. let's start with those russian claims to have killed 5 saboteurs who crossed into russia from ukraine. or what do you hear? well, this is supposed to of taken parts taking place rather early this morning. m 5 allegedly ukrainian secret service agents down russian territory. and then a further to military trucks that allegedly were sent by ukraine to try and pick them up and bring them back to ukraine. territory. russia saying that they killed

those 5 ukrainian agents and destroyed the 2 vehicles. we haven't seen pictures of either yet. this is now being widely reported by russian state media. we've had these kind of claims in the past from the pro ration separatists, them accusing ukraine of all kinds of operations on there at church in the church, they control. but this, the 1st time that russia makes these kind of accusations we had in recent days, claims from moscow that to ukrainian shells had landing a russian, churchy. so definitely a sense that this is an escalation that this is a oh lisi as seen from key have an attempt by moscow to justify some kind of intervention here in ukraine looking for a reason to intervene. another u. k has joined the united states in talking not the imminence of a russian invasion. the british prime minister spokesman says, is the proteins plant has already begun as that being received bearing, if over the longest time there was this weird disconnect between the national

headlines and this huge intestinal attention to these russian tanks and troops being built up along ukraine's borders. and then the situation here on the ground in ukraine, where you had a presence lensky talking down the acute threat saying that war was not imminent. that yes, this was demonstration, but nothing that you quite hadn't seen before. ordinary ukrainians, basically telling you they didn't want to engage with this, and this was all just an attempt to intimidate them and they wouldn't let these russian tanks and these headlines stop them to go about their daily lives. but i think there is definitely a sense of that intensification of shelling of conflict in dumbass. that really is now basically as intense as it was at the high point. the conflict in 201415. and the fact that we're getting increasingly aggressive rhetoric from moscow that it seems to, it's just that russia is looking for a reason, at least for its domestic audience to begin a conflict that really has people nervous, hear people talking about preparing bags and money and supplies if they would need to leave and hurry. and now we have separate as late as in to all those at breakaway regions in the east, demanding that they be

a recognized as independent states requested vladimir putin at today said needs to be considered of what's going on. there was, there's definitely something new because there is, it doesn't really seem like it's in rushes or blame appearance, interest to recognize those separatist because they are the stretch you along at least as appeared to be, to try and force ukraine to reintegrate those regions with a lot of autonomy so they can basically be a vehicle for russia to influence ukrainian politics, to basically turn those apparatus into legitimate ukrainian politicians as a way for moscow to prevents ukraine moving too far west. so the idea that moscow would recognize them there by killing off that piece process, and the prospect of them being reintegrated into ukraine does seem like moscow has, you know, is willing to consider giving up on that piece poses and may be considering using for so other means to get its way rather than trying to force ukraine to implement

those misquotes as that neck net calmly in q will dw chief political correspondent, belinda crane can tell us more about german diplomatic efforts in this crisis. welcome. belinda m chancellor. sholtes is due to call that the you, 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 shorts 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 macro chantelle, the sholtes 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 presidents, 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 a nato withdrawal from eastern europe, which is simply not going to be mad. 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 is lashelle puts jolts, puts it, is an open question. i am the lord stream to gas pipeline, which is due to bring brush and gas to germany is often quoted as being germany strongest bargaining chip. mister schultz has yet to specifically put it on the table there's,

i'd like 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 today. what have you been hearing from that meeting? or the ukrainian foreign minister mister clayborne, called on his e u 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 packing 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 or punishment for action taken and shouldn't be imposed in advance . however, the foreign ministers did green light 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. failure to that, which is political correspondent, belinda cry. take a look at some more stories making news around the world, starting in switzerland, where the credits,

recent bank is facing allegations that manage hundreds of millions of dollars linked to suspected war criminals, autocrats and drug dealers claims come from an international media investigation following an inside that data league suisse rejects the allegations 3 people were killed. what a fighter jet crashed into a school compound in iran. yeah. craft was on the training emission in the countries northwest when it came down, killing 2 crew members and one person on the ground. the school was closed at the time. police in new zealand made arrests during the pre dawn operation to set up road blocks upside a protest. can i round the protest camp outside the country? parliament authorities want to push back anti vaccine demonstrations. you moved in nearly 2 weeks ago. processed as wanted early, adams to chrome virus restrictions. german president, frank vall, fish di my, has begun a 3 day visit to set a goal to talk about establishing cope with 19th vaccine facilities in africa. he

was welcomed with military honors in the capitol backup or holding talk with signing a lease president maggie. so we're setting up local coven 19 vaccine production. the german president's visit is also expected to focus on the security situation in the widest. i have multiple european military missions to combat islam is terrorism are in progress. the w political correspondent nina has it is travelling with the german president and joins us from deca. welcome, nina. so, is this trip men to achieve anything or is it just for show? because people will wonder why the germany is president, is that rather than a member of the government with real power? ho. jenman president frank fight. i stein maya has said that one of the goals of this trip is actually for germany to get a proper assessment of what exactly is needed in terms of trying to foster

stability in this i held region and president stine, math as cynical is a reliable partner. it anchor of stability in this region. that's how president stine 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 there for the german army to aches the, to, to actually do these missions in may. and so by plan, by their stein, my, i 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. but right i signed my 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. but the president who's to, to visit the site where you will help set a go build on one of just 3 koby production up for duck convent vaccine production plant on the african continent. yet president stine, my actually are the stress, the fact that this trip is only the fast in his new period in offers. 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, stan, my was one of the 1st who, what back when covered 1st hit europe as well as that axis 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 by and take 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 post the risk that other continents would benefit north 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, 5 d, w, putting, corresponded in a half in dark. i to review p o, where a civil war has laughed at tens of thousands. dad and williams displaced us government troops on the to grand people's depression. front battle over territory . are you an investigation? has found that all sides and the conflicts have committed violations, including using right as a weapon of war. d. w reporter mario bullet has been to the, i'm hard to reach it to meet women recovering from the trauma. report contains descriptions of sexual violence. janette had no chance to run when 4 men came to her garden. we are not identifying her and as report and dignity as you gotta get normally one put a gun to my air. the other one put a gun to my ribs couldn't metronidazole. the girl looked over there took me into my house with uncle, for they picked me up and threw me down and set off at one of them put his feet on

my shoulder and burned me. why? one of them burnt me with a cigarette? alcaraz another was forcing me to have sex with him. the 4 men raped her for several hours. they left her with ha, v and other infections. and a deep fear, sir, isn't this good when? if they come back and take control of the town again, i have to die on. i'm very scared. in this town hike during that raid last november. the men were fighters loyal to the t gray people's liberation front or t p l f. but men on both sides are using sexual violence as a weapon of war. when janet asked the to grounds why they were raping her, they told her government forces sat down the same in their towns to their mothers

and sisters. she's doing her best now to build a future and has started a distance learning course. she wants to set up a small business, need some of them a modern i think i want to go to school because i didn't attend the school as a child. now education is good for my work to get more knowledge and live a better life. just a few streets away, a 14 year old girl. she also wishes to remain anonymous that the grand fighters came to her home to because i'm so good luck to me and one of them said i will take one of you and i'll kill one. and my sister, faint. ready to my aunt backed him and he said, no, i will kill you and take one of you to my sister. so i told him to leave them and do whatever he wants to me and we are trying to give him. i was scared at be killed or raved and dory to fling on,

but if i didn't expect to come back and i feared at die with hand, he didn't kill her. he raped her so much of the night since then. she often misses school for medical appointments. but also to avoid gossip and bullying from that also get well hit the ceiling. i prefer not to go to school and put in the letter for the people i used to play with there. but now when i agreed them, i don't want to play with me. hello. but let jeanette salaam has plans. she intends to become a police officer or soldier herself and get her own form of justice that i sent you the more desolate harassing i wish i could find him and kill him. i want him to die by my hand carving. we've listened to several other women with similar stories across from her region. they can tell the world what happened. women over the board, antique grey,

have suffered similar attacks. but the de facto fan on journalists means their voices can not yet be heard. a firefighters in north and argentina are struggling to contain massive wildfires that have been burning for whigs across 800000 hector's of farmland and national park land. the fires are being fueled by hot, dry conditions under unprecedented in an error that normally receives plenty of rain . 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 had burned through forests and passed as alike in the largely rural region and a forced animals in the better national park, argentina's largest wetland to flee or die via fighters from all over argentina. scrambling to help locals have been left reeling.

o, 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 bushy. this is what i can tell you. now this is a blow for the promise you developed. 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. and the truth is that cory and 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 tomorrow, for them? for locals, a hopeful that the arrival of rain on monday might finally suffocate the flames. b, i s got a lot, a is on environment journalist, and when i say i was asked to what the climate change is

a factor in these latest wildfires. well, it's an area where it's normal that maybe i'm a local producers, they try to, they create fire, they start fire, you know, and then you know, to renew the land to continue with their, with their productive activities. but the thing is that the drug that we're seeing today is not the same draw that maybe you had 10 years ago. and because of climate change that they're, all that you're going like to, to have in 5 years is not going to be the same girl that you have today. so it's not possible for them to contain and to control the fire. so. so once these are these intentional fire, they cannot control and because you have the perfect conditions for the fire, you have your all, you don't have a precipitation and you have very high temperatures. so once the fire begun

and then you have the crises on the critical situation that you see today. ok, so we have time. i think dr. climatic conditions creates a situation where once the spot goes up, you have this enormous conflagration. what happens after let's, let's presume that firefighters do eventually bring this under control? what sort of long, lasting damage can a fire like this have? well, we don't, and we do not have like yet that information, even we do not have any numbers of how many animals come back, but yes, what, what we already know that there are a lot of no kind of organizations, like for example, rewinding argentina foundation, they are starting to working and to think on the, on how they are going like to restart the cookies on, on how they are going like to continue from one thing all the work that they have been doing during the last years. it's very difficult and i think you're very interesting because you know,

the fire is done on the news when you're actually by the ones, the fire extinguishers, we don't, we do not see. i know we do no, no, no, ca, communities, if these are getting a share and then even you look, i received the necessary part in order to try to do you know, like to continue with their activities and how to continue after the fire. ok. thank you so much for allowing me that so clearly for us climate gender status that got a lotta in argentina. thank and football asunder action in the bonus they go, saw a real goal 1st, 2nd place, dormant easily defeated. the struggling blood back 6. no, on the dorman captain, not bako royce, are running wild against his former club when a show that when it rains it pours. ah, dornan looked to keep pace behind lunacy gall leaders. byron as they hosted the other bruce yeah. from munching. glad back on
