jets and basically keep the russians out. it would be challenging. russia, no doubt, has an anti aircraft capability. what, what airfields are they going to fly on from? craig would have to control those. i think it's more anti aircraft rep from russia to worry about. and then if we gave them or the wes somebody gave them aircraft, it would have to be an aircraft. those powers are experience with they just can't happen to new platform and do that. so those are concerned that, you know, really overcome those. and i think that the challenge is probably are what about something similar to what israel has an iron dome? is it possible to put an iron dome over key, or what about over the entire country? i mean, is that in terms of technology, is it realistic? i don't think that's something they can implement in the middle of a war if you know, if they had time in advance of it, they could probably do that to eliminate stanford even. i don't has its limitations . so i think those are good, aspirational goals,

but i think they really need to focus on taking out the russian aircraft with the stinger missiles and other capabilities that we can them. it's going to be contested airspace, but want to make sure that russia does not have, you know air down into air superiority when they can fly up. there will former senior defense advisor to ukraine, colonel liam collins going to we appreciate your time and your valuable insights tonight. thank you. thank you. or germany is going to supply more weapons to ukraine. a government source saying that berlin has agreed to provide 2700 anti aircraft, missiles, the weapons or soviet design stroller missiles from the stalks of the former east german armed forces. that's right. germany had already committed to delivering a 1000 anti tank weapons and 500 surface to air missiles. berlin recently reversed a long standing policy of not exporting weapons to conflict zones

of a more now i'm joined by the german m. p. alexander mueller. from the free democrats at the junior party in germany's coalition government, he is the parliamentary group spokes person for military procurement. it's good to have you on the program. i assume that you are a very busy man at the moment. this reversal and german policy when it comes to weapons, is that a blessing for ukraine? i think it is a blessing for ukraine, and it makes clear, our german position. we have a contract in the government that says we do not deliver weapons into crisis regions. but ukraine is not the classic her crisis region. ukraine was attacked by russia without reason. and that made the switch in the government,

politics and germany. and you know, there are people who say, thanks, but this is too little too late. should this reversal have come a long time ago? and i think it was, it was right to to wait until this happens. we tries to diplomatically the german government tried to prevent this war by diplomacy. and we did not expect a putin to really a tech, his neighbor country without any reason. and off of it, there was some kind of shock in germany that he really did it. and that makes things go that weren't possible before i understand that you are a reservist with the german air force. what was your reaction to the news that the german government is going to set aside a special fund, a budget worth a 100000000000 euros to fund the military?

i'm very relieved about this because you know, we, liberals, we wanted to reach the 2 percent goal of the nato. we have decided within nato, and we have promised ourselves that everybody will join and invest 2 percent of his across a product. and we didn't achieve this in germany and even the past we, we took it not to point to the 2 percent go and so i'm very glad it was not possible inside the coalition and the condition contract to get this to percent go . we had it in our election program as laborers, and we didn't manage to convince the others. now they're convinced, so i'm very glad you are. as i said it reserve is. are you being called up by the military? i've talked to some reserves this week and said they are being called up. and what

role would you or would you or the reserve is expect to play now? because i, as i understand that the thinking is germany, even the capital here, berlin could be direct directly threatened by russia. we are not yet called as reserves, or there are some refurbished that take part in the nato response force, although b j t f. and they're the time frames have been lowered. so there is a shorter allowing time at the moment. so i can imagine that they had got a cold. but generally reservists in germany are not yet alarmed. let me just ask before we run out of time about the strolling missiles that your body of sending to you crate. i mean, for our viewers, i just want to let them know. these were designed by the soviet union. they date back to the cold war before the re unification of germany. i mean, you know,

a lot of people be surprised that these weapons even still exist. why were these weapons chosen to be sent to ukraine? we're heavily searching now. what we can afford to give away and somebody found them. i was also surprised. i did not even know that we have those 3 law weapons still in our apartment. so i was also surprised. i know that the army, that driven this is heavy searching. now what we can give away, it looks like somebody found those 3 loads. wow. it's amazing that they were being stored somewhere. you never know what you find when you have to find something. alexander mueller, member of the north. we appreciate your time and your insights, mister mueller, please come back and talk with us again. thank you for the pleasure. thank you for the war in ukraine is exacting a huge economic toll on russia. d w. steven beardsley. he picks up the story from

here. thanks, friend, we begin in germany, where economy minister robert havoc said today he opposes the idea of an embargo on russian gas and oil habit. telling reporters that a full stop of russian fuel imports could lead to unrest in germany. or half of germany's gas and coal imports come from russia and more than a 3rd of its oil. recent sanctions have left energy transactions with russia untouched by u. s. president joe biden has said, energy sanctions remain on the table. here's what harbor the german minister said during a briefing that he would not advocate and embargo on russian imports of fossil fuels. he said he would even speak out against it because it could endanger the country's social peace. over in the u. k, british foreign minister liz truss said she would support sanctions on oil and gas and suggested they might be part of the discussion during an upcoming meeting of g

7 foreign ministers. i trust also praise the cooperation between london and the ear thus far. we've worked with the u. s. e u n g 7 to capital funding for peach in small machine kicking russian banks out to the financial system. we will say shut our s space to russian planes. and we're fast forwarding sanctions against russian oligarchs or the british government has actually faced criticism over already existing sanctions. london has had only 9 wealthy russians with penalties saying legal complexities have slowed the government down from doing more. now in the e. u. officials have also found that carrying out sanctions on russians can be difficult. one case in particular focused on seizing yachts and german ports, take a look. luxurious yachts are a common sight in hamburg, but these tarps cover a special one. the dill bar worth 800000000 euros is an especially impressive ship

as seen in this marketing clip. it belongs to russian. all the gog alisha was small of who has been sanctioned by the you. he's seen as the confidant of russian president vladimir putin was, man of says he's been unfairly vilified and will fight the accusations. the german government had carefully planned the seizure directs ticks to if we have only received the exact wording of these sanctions less than 48 hours ago. we are now focused on finding ways to execute the sanctions living chief uncertain. the goal of the youth sanctions is to limit the oligarchs economic power. since a yard is hardly part of a business and doesn't help it earn money, it was initially unclear whether or not it could be seized. the canyon outside a yard could easily be sold any time. and in the case of the yacht in hamburg, that could bring him up to 800000000 euros. that's why i think it has to fall under the current sanctions. given that it is very much an asset that could potentially in which someone wouldn't reading orders and so on. so fast authorities agreed.

another yard left hamburg in february after having docked therefore maintenance work. the graceful belief to be vladimir put ins yard as it regularly anchors at his vacation spots. just days before russia started its war against ukraine, the yacht left for colin and cried. yards are not the only acids russian oligarchs hold in germany. near lake teegan c in the south locust gather to protest against was man of his rumor to own this villa and likely to more close to the lake. no one knows for certain though not even the members of the city council, however, is not needed. i have never seen the nameless man of any official documents, usually deals are made by company. so with straw men, which its men, such business practices are common among all the guards that used specifically to avoid sanctions, the whole problem door to door. the main problem will be to proof that an oligarchy,

the legal owner of her property, and looking at an oligarchy with potential assets. i have to have proof that those assets are really there. so was hoping dusty for moves throughout a concert in and switch progressions. and luna is another yard anchoring in hamburg these days. it's also presumed to belong to an oligarchy, but that one's not been sanctioned. and now to some of the other global business stories making headlines. swedish furniture giant ikea is also suspending its operations in russia and belarus, effecting nearly 15000 employees, 17 stores and 3 production sites. as response to the invasion, ikea is one of the largest western employers in russia. amazon says that we use it's logistics capabilities to get supplies of those in need and ukraine. online giant will also provide its cyber security expertise to help governments and companies. earlier this week, amazon pledge to donate up to $10000000.00 to humanitarian efforts.

ratings agencies, fiche, and moodies have downgraded russia, sovereign debt to junk status. the agency saying the invasion and western sanctions have hurt moscow's ability to repay debts and raised risks for the economy. and stability of the news drove the russian rouble to new record lows against the dollar. and europe efforts by the russian central bank and the finance ministry have failed to hold that slump. the german karmic volkswagen has halted its russia business as well. the latest in a series of major firms respond to sanctions imposed over russia's invasion, a dialer, and b, m. w are also quitting the russian market. german business leaders say the sanctions effectively amount to a full embargo in the russian city of gallagher. b w's. assembly lines will soon be standing still. normally, the group produces polos to guanine or sco to rapids, but there aren't and production now. normally $4000.00 people would be working at v

w's facilities in russia, including gallagher, and usually nov. garad were v w. producers scotto branded cars. the photo auto group has also stopped all exports to russia, subsidiary, portia ship $6000.00 cars to russia alone last year. v w blames the current crisis for the export stop. the move brings v w in line with other car producers like b, m, w, and mercedes benz who have already stopped all exports. the u. s. a general motors and ford has as well russia and ukraine are among the world's biggest exporters of grain. but the war is expected to lead to production losses and cancel deliveries with potentially grave consequences for some of the poorest regions in the world. in war torn e m n, the wheat reserves will last for another couple of months according to the government. but many like here in the capital city of santa worry about the rising

prices for flower that a russian more against ukraine will affect the whole world, not just us. it'll hit imports, exports, and trade. yemen will undoubtedly be affected. we are an importer of wheat, and most of our food comes from abroad. my mother, lebanon says it as wheat reserves for just one more month. the country's largest silos were destroyed in an explosion in bay root in 2020. the country depends on wheat imports, with 60 percent coming from ukraine. the government is looking for options. now we've reached out to a number of countries, including the u. s. india, canada, and europe that produced a software that's needed for the arab bread styles we produce in lebanon. it's a very specific kind beneatha ellena. they know that canada turkey depends on weed imports. from russia. the country is in the midst of an economic crisis with sky high inflation. there have been massive protests over rising food prices. many

turks fear that the war will make matters worse. and basic food items, even more expensive. and that's your business update back over to brent steven, thank you. ukrainian russia have reportedly made progress on establishing humanitarian corridors for civilians. caught in the fighting, an advisor to ukrainian president zalinski tweeted that a 2nd round, a face to face taunton. bell roof were over and he said, and i'm quoting here, ukraine does not have the results it needs yet. there are decisions on the organization of humanitarian corridors, yet that the 2 sides have agreed to keep talking. we're here at the table with me is our chief international richard walker. he's been following these talks. so originally what, what came out of these talks would be there in the middle of a war and they're talking, they've agreed to keep talking. yeah, well in fact, this time it does appear that something concrete has come out. we hear this from,

from statements from both sides. they've agreed on this idea of humanitarian corridors to enable people supposedly to get to safety from the areas that are under attack. and that around the so called corridors, then you would have temporary cease fires around those corridors to enable people to, to move out. but as you just quoted, as a lead skis, advisor, who is part of the delegation from the ukranian side, expressed disappointment despite that achievement because what they really wanted, what he was saying going into this is, is that he wants an immediate cease fire and the withdrawal of rushes troops from ukraine, and there's actually no indication whatsoever that the, the russians or any kind of point of can considering doing that in singles or to see one of the russian delegates who was, who was that the statement that he made. he's a member of the duma,

the russian parliament and saying that it will be a 3rd round of talks in upcoming days and, and talking about at some point it may be necessary to go to the 2 different countries parliament to take documents for ratification. because raises a lot of questions, but essentially, i think there will be a lot of question marks about what that really means. and if that is anything really serious. because of course, we see what's actually going on in ukraine, and that is an increase in the violence that russia is a mission you. were you surprised to hear that there has been some progress made on these humanitarian corridors? when today, you know, we're getting more and more reports of civilian targets being it by russian forces . well, i think that is going to be, of course, in, in anything that a politician says, of course you have to compare reality to what they say in a war, especially were of this kind then even more so. and i think it's interesting to look at what vladimir putin was saying also today because he has held another

meeting with his security council. now i'm sure a lot of us will remember some of these meetings he's been having with his top team recently where he meets them in a vast chamber in the kremlin will. this time he was sitting at a desk and speaking to them over a video conference. so not even anyone else was in the room. it showed maybe even a greater sort of sense of isolation around to put in the president now. and he was saying in this, in this call that was televised, that the military operations are going to plan, praising russian soldiers as heroes. but of course, what we know from what we've been seeing of the last week in a day that they come for this conflict has been going on to this invasion has been going on. in fact, it does appear that the russians have been having some setbacks, and there are a few things that putin said, which did sort of point towards that accusing the ukrainians of using civilians as

human shields. so trying to put the blame for the fact that there are large numbers of civilian casualties on the ukrainians, the target of the invasion. and also talking about giving compensation to the, to the families of fallen russian soldiers also indicating there that he's aware that actually there's been a significant number of casualties. the russians are talking about just on the 500 other estimates suggest a lot, many, many more than that. so vladimir putin showing every intention of, of keeping going one at the same time, seeming to indicate that he's where things not going. exactly. is he going to, you know, i read to that he was offering with is equal to details and us dollars in that ballpark. and another interesting development today, there was a phone call between a man, one micro and vladimir putin, the lease a sort of back holes team claiming the putin request. this requested this call. it

was another call. it went to 90 minutes according to the french side. so that, i mean, that's the 2nd call this week between them that's gone to that length of time. and the french read out of this call saying that putin told my call that the conflict will continue until the end, unless negotiations met his terms. and until the end, well, he then went on to say that the goal is the neutralization and disarmament of ukraine. essentially the interpretation of these, this language, the pigeon is used around this, has been regime change in ukraine. and i, the long term occupation, perhaps, annexation by the russians or installation of a sort of puppet government. also telling, i think, just one last thing that to take out of putins coal with his security council. he said, i will never abandon my conviction, the russians and ukrainians of one people. so this also pointing to this idea of

a kind of a historical mission that he feels that he has to achieve here of bringing ukraine and russia together. because it's highly questionable whether the ukrainians have any intention of feeling part of his family. if you, once he's been conducting an invasion of this level of brutality, even if you are a brother, it's hard to want to be together when your brothers shooting richard walker. thank when there are a growing number of reports that russia is attacking civilian residential areas in ukraine buildings like this apartment block, in our keefe, several civilians we understand died this attack. but russia, as richard was saying, continues to means is that it's only targeting military installations. the international criminal court says it is investigating whether russian forces have committed more cra, w's investigative unit has also been gathering visual evidence of attacks on

civilian targets. and it paints a grim picture of the conflict that's going out to the w investigative reporter. louis sanders is also an expert on security terrorism in war crimes. you're, this is some of the work that we journalist would rather not do louis but little walk us through some of the material that you've collected and tell us why it might indicate that war crimes have indeed been committed. indeed for the past couple of days, we've been looking into an attack on a regional administrative building in the heart of car keith at freedom square to be precise. now that attack left 6 peep at least 6 people dead and dozens more injured. now if we look at the c, c, t, v footage that we're able to acquire of the attack. now if you go in frame by frame, you're able to isolate an identity or start getting a glimpse of the projectile before the impact. so with the help of military experts,

we were able to identify the projectile as a russian made caliber cruise missile. now why is that important? well, it's important because cruise missiles, generally speaking, have multiple guiding systems that are baked into the, into the weapon system. and that suggests that this could have been a targeted attack on a civilian object. any possibility? i know this may seem outrageous, but is there any possibility that this could have been a terrible mistake? it's unlikely now we went in and we come to the area. we started mapping out some of the locations to see if there were any legitimate targets under the rules of engagement and the military targets. and the only thing that we could find were that were any institutions or buildings that were tied to the ukranian armed forces

were hospital university, legitimate, military targets in this area, we're just, we're just not anywhere in the vicinity of freedom square. and generally speaking, the universities and hospitals are considered no goes under the rules of engagement . now, one thing that we, that that's quite interesting is that we spoke with eye witnesses and residents of the area. and they told us that they heard to blast that morning. one at 8 am and one roughly 10 minutes later. now, from some of the previous investigations that we've been a part of, we know that russian armed forces in syria for example, we'll hit a target twice, something that we've, what we call a double tap. and there's a lot of work that's been shown within international law to show that that could show intent. now in this case, proving intent is one of the hardest parts of going after war crimes. now,

we're kind of investigators will have major challenges ahead. but there are some indications that in this example, a war crime may have been committed, and those war crimes investigators we know that they are interested in the weapons that were used talk us through what that can tell us. well, cluster bombs are a good example. there are some indications that russian forces are using cluster bombs in ukraine and that is problematic. see if we look at the video here of an attacking car. keith, we can see cluster like explosions within a residential building. now we again working with military experts were able to, they told us that this looks like a cluster bomb. now why is that significant? because cluster bombs are, are usually used within an urban setting or indiscriminate. they're not able to

tell between combatants and civilians. and so when they're using this, they're usually usually going to see a high civilian casualties and for work on investigators when they start seeing the use of cluster bombs in a conflict it's, it's usually pretty clear indication that war crimes are being committed. and so it usually complex, but in this case, right in heart heath, the 2nd largest city and ukraine, and there was, there's a lot of talk about russians alleged use of what are known as thermal barrick bogs. what can you tell us about the over the past couple of days we've been seeing a lot of content videos, images showing a purported use of thermal barrick bombs and also the, the transport of thermal barrier launchers of thermal barrett weapons on to battlefields across ukraine. and now the problem with thermal barrett weapons, and we're still going through verifying this contact content. but the problem with

this type of weapon is that it's a 2 phase weapon. the 1st part unleashes a chemical into the air, while the 2nd part ignites an incendiary explosion, which effectively uses of oxygen to maximum effect. now again, these are, you know, under the geneva convention weapons that do not discriminate between civilians and combatants are prohibited. and that's, and thermal beric weapons are fall under that category. now, we've been seeing worrying trend here over the past week, that as we continue to go on into the conflict, we're seeing increased uses of prohibited weapons under international law, but also targeting of civilian areas. now, if a pattern emerges in the coming days and weeks, that could be the impetus for war crimes investigators to really push forward and issue an indictment against the perpetrators. yeah,

i mean these thermo barrick bobs, i mean truly barbaric, sucking the air out of the lungs of all the people they are in the areas unbelievable. the w's lewis sanders from our investigative unit excellent reporting that was thank you. thank you. well, as we mentioned earlier, the human refugee agency now says the number of people fleeing ukraine has passed the 1000000 mark. while most people are heading to poland. other neighboring countries are also taking in people desperate to escape russia's assault the w's test of alter reports tonight from the slovakian border with ukraine, division and amec. a border crossing point in the very east of slovakia. more and more refugees from ukraine are arriving here. mostly women and children, as well as old people, able bodied men must stay and fight in ukraine. provide here at the border crossing between ukraine and sylvia. behind me,

he is the gate with thousands have arrived in the last few days around 30000 is what people have been telling me here, and they arrive hungry. many of them having slept and days, and obviously they had to leave their loved ones behind father's sons and husbands . but here they are welcomed by great solidarity helpers have set up a few tense here so that the refugees can take a deep breath after their arrival. just like alice script, nick, she fled the worn ukraine with her 2 children. it's really great to feel the same amount of kindness. i met on the border and here and to every, every 10 mean is volunteers came here. come here and save us. what do we needs? but for now we need everything we need it's safety and wants and some food.

the other refugees are also relieved to have made it across the border. but they are very concerned about their families at home. and this 15 year old says that instead of fleeing, he would rather confront the russian aggressor. i sing for if someone give me a gum, i'll stay in your car and take a fight for processing for you. i was in cuz i need to fight for 430. our conquering, outside people are queueing to be registered by the slovak authorities. i'm actually the volunteers handout hot drinks, groceries and some medicines is needed. no vor injury. that's good. so because till now louis had really, really fuel through problems to, to solve. and so, i mean people are more hod broken than, than injuries with their homeland at war and an uncertain future ahead of them.

many refugees are crossing the border to slovakia, invision emmy, cat and that report filed by our reported has of alter. she joins me now from a border crossing between slovakia and ukraine. it's good to see tanza. unfortunately, under these circumstances, what are people telling you about their journey to the border crossing where you are now every sorry of this is individual that what we hear from the people here is that a lot of families have come from western ukraine. so they basically decided as parents that they want to get their kids out of the country. so the dad and the mother put them in the car, they come here, but then at the border, they have to say good bye to the father because obviously the man can't leave the country. so they are very emotional scenes here at the border crossing with the man staying behind and the women and children moving on. but

a lot of men also want to stay in ukraine because they want to fight and defend their country than we spoke to other families who've come all the way from the eastern part of ukraine. a lot of people actually try to cross the border through poland. some even went to hungry and this is sort of their last alternative and the last measure where it actually finally worked. what they all say is, once they get here there, there's a sigh of relief. everyone's happy to have made it and to finally be in safety here . yeah, we can only imagine what it must be like there for the the wives and mothers, the children every to say good bye to the father's husband's, not knowing if they will ever see each other. again, the border crossings. how are they organized just to deal with this influx of people? it is actually brilliantly organized. he, i have to say, i saw a lot of and she owes once people to make it through the crossing, which is just behind me here. they are. welcome with hot t water, there's food,

there's tense that are, he said. there are generators running so people can charge their phones to keep in contact with the relatives. they're sim cards being handed out so they can stay in contact. i met one guy who told me it's actually spring break at the moment, hands over care. so he took the whole family, they got into the car, they came here and now he's volunteering for the white cross. so there's a lot of sympathy for the neighboring country, and yeah, a lot of people want to help and also on, in, on a governmental level people want to help. so they have now decided to grant temporary asylum to people for get here or the ukrainians who want tube and to ask for asylum will be granted that and that means they also have health insurance and they have a work permit. so that might help them in the months to come and it hasn't, there, of course takes maybe some of the red tape out of this. but what did these people expect to me now that they cross the border? what happens next for them?

i mean, a lot of people have and they have relatives here, the ties between ukraine and of acura, quite tights. and you see quite emotional scenes of families with tears and eyes because they have finally found that relative that was in ukraine. and now here the coffee, they find each other and they can help each other not to go to a safer place. so a lot of people don't actually stay here at the camp, but they keep moving. and there are others who don't know anyone, and they can apply for commendation there over 400 families. hands of a key of over a signed up to rent out their room. well, give it out for free or even an entire flats. so this is an option that of see life as it was for all of the people here has now ended, and they will have to figure out how to deal with it in the next few weeks, maybe months. yeah, i'm sure that people are still under shock. think just a week ago, week and

a half ago they were leading their normal lives. d. w. 's test. so vault reporting from the border between slovakia and ukraine to 9 tenths of thinking well, as a reported, the european union has agreed to give emergency temporary protection to refugees who were fling of war in ukraine. it means that the more than a 1000000 people who have fled to now apply for temporary, protected status and residency permits throughout the you, millions more are expected to follow. the measure is meant to ease pressure on member states which border ukraine or here is the french interior minister speaking earlier today. it does so that he because he been eligible persons will thus be able to benefit from a protective status, similar to that of a refugee or in any country of the european union for renewable period of one year . is this unanimous decision reflects the full commitment of the european union to

the solidarity that we owe to the ukrainian people in the face of this unjustifiable war. either want to pull in or correspond. marina strauss she is following events force in brussels. good evening to you, marina. so kind of walk us through this decision today. what does it mean in practical terms of people arriving in poland, for example, we just said the france interior minister and it basically means that people who arise in poland from ukraine can now go to any e country and stay there. so there is already a free visa or a post as in place for ukrainians. they can stay in the year for up to 19 days. that's nothing new. but what's new is that there is now this temporary rip temporary residence permit that is being granted to ukrainian source of people who have been living in ukraine for a long time, from other countries,

from 3rd countries. and so that also means that now children, for example, can go to school, their parents can try to find work in the european union. and you are interior ministers here in brussels. agreed on this directive a to day that has never been used before. it was empty, it was invented are presented after the yugoslavia worst 20 years ago, and many today said it's historic. you know, i don't have to tell you that it's been practically impossible to get a e u wide migration policy implemented so. so this decision to day, does it mean that it's in you wide for these people coming from ukraine? i mean, can they work and can they stay in any country? yes, that means they can and this is unique and that's the 1st for european for the european

union. it was a bit of a drama coming to this point because interiors ministers had an emergency meeting on sunday and then they already brought up this directive. i was just talking about and now it's only thursday. so this is fast. this is a really fast process for european union standards. there was hungry, that is a country that is so known for its anti migration stands usually. that house else been blocking this whole direct if a bit of beds only like 3 hours ago. and we have been, i so hungary as spokesperson, the spokesperson, person of hungary, his prime minister victor, or been posting pictures of victor alba and with ukrainian refugees on his twitter account. that's pictures we usually don't see with thick to albany. and as so now hungary has also accepted and yes, it's a, it was an unanimous decision. it is a different picture that we're seeing with this crisis with ukrainians,

is when we compare it to what we saw with the migration crisis back in 2015 isn't it is very different. we had in german, into your minister, nancy phaser just talking about after meeting a little while ago. and she said, well, it's probably different because it's a country in europe. it's a country that is a neighboring country of some you countries, for example, poland or slovakia. and that's why people in europe are more concerned. and of course some are saying, why are you not concerned about syrian slaying? the syrian war of africans fleeing the situation in afghanistan. and yes, that is a point to make. but we also hear from you officials here in brussels, that it was the more difficult to implement this in 2015, 2016 because the refugees did not come from one country, but from several countries. but of course, this is clearly a political decision,

a very marino strauss with the latest in brussels tonight. marina, thank you're watching. the w news is continuing coverage of the war in ukraine. i'm break off in berlin. i'll be back at the top of the hour with more news before we go there. we want to give a moment to those who amid all the suffering are trying to create beauty. oh, you watching pictures from poland border with ukraine to day as ukrainian streamed across the frontier fleeing the fighting in their home country. one man played for explicitly, hulu .

ah . 5 ah, ah ah, with

who to the point. strong opinions, clear positions, international perspectives. all meant a phone. so can see in ukraine as people wait to see how brutal the 1st and 2nd stage of russia on small town by country might be. let me poke to this effectively, trying to wipe you crate. both the map come to destruction already devastating. get

worse to the point with d w. ah a with

ah

ah ah ah, ah, this is the w news live from berlin for the 1st time since it invaded ukraine. russia has seized a major city. the mayor of harrison confirming that the black sea port city is now in the hands of invading troops. gradient president, zalinski saying russia will pay you for what he has done. also coming up tonight, ukraine and russia hold a 2nd round of talks. humanitarian court doors may be in the works, plus the you in refugee agency says over 1000000 people have fled ukraine since the war.
