ah, ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin. the un says 10000000 people have now fled their homes in russia's war against ukraine. this after vladimir putin ami again targeted civilians, bomb been an art school where hundreds sought shelter. it also destroyed an army barracks and it equal i eve, one of the west strikes on the military targets since the invasion begun. also coming up, we take you on board the u. s. naval aircraft, korea, harry s truman. our reporter finds out how it's helping to prevent the war from
2:01 pm
escalating and russia says it's recruiting thousands of syrian mercenaries to join it's invasion of ukraine. we'll look at what's propaganda and what's the fact. ah, eddie, micah juniors the name joe, welcome to the program. the united nations says 10000000 people have now fled. yeah, homes in ukraine, and more than 3000000 have left. that country comes as russia increasingly targeting civilians. it's unprovoked war and it's unprovoked war should say, against its neighbour in the southern city of mario pole, missiles written down on an art school where 400 people had hoped to find refuge. and moscow was employing new weaponry, saying that as again used hypersonic. miss allison combat for the 2nd day in a row. it says it's ken joel rock heads can travel up to 2000 kilometers at several
2:02 pm
times, the speed of sound, allowing them to evade defense systems. the missiles are bradley hittie crenan fuel debrel, in a costa ante in africa near mc alive. russia said another miss, our strategic facility, in average, close to the bought out with values where it claims foreign fighters and ukranian special forces, where based dw correspondent, that ne, currently joins us now from a live in a western ukraine. hello, nick. that rash and military claims that again has used to have a sonic and cruise missiles in your green. what are you hearing from the ukranian side where the ukraine or thirties are keeping pretty tight lipped about this little in the way of detail? there's of the military, censorship, martial law in place. the same goes to the russian side. so basically, all the reports are based on the same very terse statements coming from the military. and i think what's important to kind of think about now is why russia is
2:03 pm
having to use these weapons. some of it is about showing off demonstrating these new weapons to joe biden, to the u. s. administration, so that russia has, the tech has the depth in resources to really drag this out. but it's also a sign that russia is actually not doing that well. that russia is still facing quite a lot of resistance from ukraine, ukraine's anti aircraft systems that the russians had thought they would be able to destroy within a couple of days. and that russian planes are increasingly not flying over ukraine's much. they're also not sending rockets in from neighboring colors, which should be easier, cheaper weapon systems for usable to rush is really have to pull out. all the stops is now flying over the black sea, or even of a russian territory. and sending these missiles in, from a great distance, which is essentially a testament to ukraine's ability to send up for itself and impose a high financial price in russia. we've already heard that some of these more complex western systems are now running out that russian weapons factories are working around the clock to replace these missiles that are being used in far greater number than the russians expected. and they go, we have reports about an art school in mario poll being bombed. what more can you
2:04 pm
tell us about the situation and marable was, it's pretty difficult reporting on my report because they're essentially no independent journalist on the ground left. and all the reports are based on reporting from the local ukrainian authorities who say about 400 people are trapped in that building. if they were in a bomb shelter, not we don't know. and this feels all too familiar just a couple of days ago, had a gruesome situation with the theater of miracle, where you also had hundreds of people, women and children, old people stuck in the bomb shelter. luckily, most those seem to be able to escape out of the ruins after that initial bombing. but it definitely seems like miracle is facing worse and worse days, they're happening. tens of thousands of people now re stays who have finally been able to get out of to lots of failed attempts, but still the city of hundreds of 1000. so the majority population still stuck in my report. and now increasingly facing these kind of risks. and this is the administration of variable as those are accusing herself abduct, and several 1000 people from the city and bringing them to russia. how reliable is
2:05 pm
this information? well, i did manage to speak to someone in my poke up of days ago. mobile phone connection's inter is very, very patchy. most people are left without connections the outside world. and they were saying that in some parts of the city, closer to those russian positions basically was impossible to get into the city center and out in the direction of ukrainian or pell territory. and i had the reports from ukrainian government sources. their map was saying that people are also having their ukrainian passports taken away from them and basically being directed in the direction of russia. the, the explanation would be that russia wants to create images of ukrainian refugees heading to russia for protection to try and dial down the toxicity of this full residential image. so far we haven't had independent confirmation of that, but it definitely seems. the philosophy of america getting towards ukrainian hill territory is very, very difficult. now let's move from mary paul to live where you are. what is the situation there? will you be forgiven for doing that? this is a country peace time here and leave. you kind of can almost believe that this is
2:06 pm
everyday normal life, but it is full to the, to the brim with people from across the country you see cause from, with plates from odessa. her give key of all across the country. people trying to get as far west as possible as close to the e. u and nato of silly lots of women and children have been crossing the border towards safety and potent but for men between age of 18 and 60. this is the end of the road. they are not allowed to leave the country. they're not being mobilized or called up for service yet. but people just trying to kind of work out, can they stay with the families? can they carry on working? can like salvage somebody multi before you will reach them here, but we have had missile attacks by russian forces even on leave and military base neil of if so essentially as calm as the seems. now people here are very much, well the fact that noah and you can right now is fully safe unfortunately. so nick connelly in live, thank you. nato is currently sending more troops to its eastern border. the u. s. alone will soon have more than 100000 troops across all of europe. a presence not
2:07 pm
seen on the continent in almost 20 years, and it's not just on land. american ships are underway in it will be in waters including the aircraft carrier, harry s truman deal abuse. as steven betsy was on board the ship and the mediterranean. he sent us this report the constant wine of jet engines, day and night, aboard this carrier, the u. s. s. harry s. truman lodges f. 18 super hornets. like these daily to patrol nato's eastern flank for stray russian jets. they refuse the sky with nato partners and remain on station for hours under nino command. it's a level coordination. the alliance has been practicing for decades today with added urgency, ah, below decks, the pressure is always high. now the chance of an encounter with russian aircraft added to it. yes, it's in the back of our mind,
2:08 pm
but i think that the level of training we've gotten in our expectations relative to our rules of engagement is such that we're in a position to, to really deal with whatever comes with the truman is more than air power it's accompanied by missile carrying destroyers, almost certainly a submarine, thousands of sailors work to keep operations going. they've been at sea for months, and no one knows how long the deployment will last. carriers like the truman, our classic symbol of us and nato power projection. the ability to deliver military might, almost that will around the worlds for nato members. that's reassuring for the current conflict in ukraine. all this fire power still doesn't have much use. nato's focus instead has been preventing the war from widening. that's why the us wants these deployments to be visible. it's wide invites reporters aboard. and it's why the navy secretary has come to the truman for a visit. i would argue that the situation is quite stable here in the mediterranean
2:09 pm
sea. we have russian vessels that are out here, the american vessels, we have french vessels, we have italian vessels, we have spanish vessels. and it's a piece of situation here, as long as the russians continued to behave. and so, and that's what we want them to do. a message amplified by truman's presence that a native, not yet it war, believes that can still deter one through strength. let's look at some other developments in the conflict ukrainian precedence followed the mazda lensky has accused ross out of deliberately creating a humanitarian catastrophe in ukraine. he repeated his appeal for direct talks with russian president vladimir putin to lensky said negotiations. what not to be pleasant or easy by the unnecessary friends. lensky also called a mess, leave to cut ties with russia and the address one anti war protests. and this with capital ban, this company is coming under pressure to suspend seals in russia. after you green's
2:10 pm
prime minister accused of food for him, of helping to finance the killing of women and children. the leaders of india and japan have called for an immediate halt to the violence in ukraine, japan's full mucous sheet or indemnity, to take the tougher line on russia's invasion after india abstained in un votes condemning its invasion. but a joint statement fell short of criticizing moscow's actions by mistake. australian prime minister scott morrison has announced his government will send more military assistance, including ammunition on board yama, ukraine. he says, australia, i will supply you green with 70000 tons of them all. cool to help keep power generators operating at this critical moment. now this week was the 11th anniversary of the ap rises that lead to serious civil war. thousands protest that in cities across the rebel held north void by the global outcry about the other russian invasion of ukraine. the expressed solidarity with the ukrainian
2:11 pm
people on demand that action against vladimir putin. it set the ration precedents, used syria as a practice ground. but i so doesn't ukraine running out of steam? because now moscow says his records and fighters from syria to join the assault on ukrainian cities. moscow hospital, king of bringing in thousands of serum militia fighters, would experience in ab combat. and alanna shaw's, ian, we're not afraid of this war and are ready and waiting for a marching orders. you know, those yards. the syrian military leader delivering a warning to ukraine from a church in a bill. abdulla says he wants to give the ukrainians a lesson. they will never forget. no, you didn't on bill with ya are $700.00 orthodox christian fighters under his command, a militia that takes his orders from president, a sad, serious ruler, has equipped them with weapons and heavy equipment including tanks. their station here on the front line in the lab series,
2:12 pm
last remaining rebels stronghold. the militia has close links with russia. the need for russian state tv, the christian fight is let themselves be filmed in a convoy on every car. the zed symbol of rushes. invasion of ukraine of that would be like the head of the u. k. base searing observatory for human rights says that while much is propaganda, his source is confirmed. the basic facts behind it to transport planes with fighters have already departed, syria. humble son, a bully bowman, that they were already requested by russia, if will, some of them could already be in moscow or ukraine malady. they have urban combat experience and have taken part in military operations. i'm under russian supervision in syria, a daughter, ruthie, alaska. if you, sodium, according to the observatory, 40000 fighters are ready to join putin's war and have registered to fight. 22000 have been accepted by russia so far. but whether they are really a certain victory, as they appear in the cremeans propaganda videos is questionable. me home club
2:13 pm
would more of eat a lot in syria. they wanted to save their homes in, but when they're fighting on foreign soil, he will, they show the same motivation will do enough, or will they just be cannon fodder in the end, whether i have to hold little m m, you many, a drawn to recruitment centers like this one out of shin necessity hoping to secure a ticket to europe even if they're bound for a war zone. and there's a lot of money on the line. as this in raleigh, in as a wider told a japanese reporter at that hour, they say that i can get $7000.00 a month on the front line, $3000.00 for other positions. and i think that that after the a difficult choice for serious would be fighters, poverty at home, or war, and even death in a foreign country. now around the world, many countries are heavily reliant on wheat mays on some flaw. oil imports from you of spread baskets. ukraine and prices have long been high,
2:14 pm
especially for wheat. but russia invasion of ukraine has triggered another price shock. currently, a ton of wheat is that trading at the well about $300.00 euros. can see behind me freaking out about 400 years just recently, and only coming down somewhat since close to a 3rd of global weeds exports come from russia and ukraine. the shipments mean ego to turkey, the middle east on china, batter, ukrainian port of odessa. but now the war is disrupt, and logistics jane's. that's bad news for places like lebanon. pizza, bread like this is a cushion 4th of the day for people in lebanon. it's often known as the loaf of the poor, because it has always been affordable for everyone. but now things look, difference. press is f shot up over the last couple of years of economic instability. and now people are scared the war in ukraine could make things even
2:15 pm
worse. and as i've been out there to have people are panicking, they are rushing to buy bread about those who usually buy a bag are buying 4 or 5 instead. in the afternoon, we even see some bakeries that run out of bread, and you sometimes see queues and other bakeries like we had during the war. but the emma, how to these people are at the sharp end of the compound crisis. a country and economy collapse phase with foreign currency to have poor twit and that globin inflation. and now there's war in ukraine before october 29th. so this lack of bits of bread costs $1.00 and a half 1000 pounds. and that was the fixed price. i have just bought this for 11000 pounds. the price rise is maybe due to lebanon's, ongoing political and economic crisis. but now global events are playing a part, so the price of it and therefore flower, and therefore red is rising at on the words. because one of the biggest reproduces is ukraine, the war there is putting lebanon in a difficult situation. re,
2:16 pm
temperatures are leaking to its places like france and germany. some are even looking towards the united states. but all those options are further away than ukraine, meaning greater transport costs. and lemme malicious to look at our house historical, i'm ever since the private sector started importing we, it was always from the countries around the black sea and mainly ukraine and russia them on the last 2 years, we imported 80 percent of our wheat from ukraine of nuclear miss bill i'm, it's a global crisis that is affecting importing countries. so because of the inflation in wheat and fuel that it will affect wheat prices, its transportation. and it will reflect on bread price about when they have the 2020 exclusion that check made with poor destroy the huge silos that had up to 4 months worth of green currency. there is enough weight for a month if people can no longer afford the low for the poor,
2:17 pm
hunger and political instability will fall from on this last spring in jacob and emergency coordinator for the green crisis of the world food program. hello. let's start in ukraine. 10000000 people fleeing the homes, 3000000 leaving the country. thousands are still trying to hold out in the our home towns like kids, or trump, like in my real poll. how does your help get to places and people in need now? you know, good afternoon. 80. yeah, that is our biggest very at the moment. it's the fault to 1000000 people that are still in your claim. how to reach them to me. mon, the children, man in places like valuable and in safety that are about to be in so called a place to be entire cold, be allowing everything to mobilize. the source is now to, to be prepared for the case in the big cities are actually completely in circled.
2:18 pm
so, i mean, what kind of changes strategy do you have to have now to be able to reach the people you have to? well, they're not alone. the government, this is obviously the biggest actor in the scene of getting food to people. we are now trying to feel our way of houses for the opening style p. hopefully we'll get the details and openings that have so far resulted in people coming out at 2 small scale out of money. a pulls example, but we are asking for humanitarian policies. so we can bring supplies, may be seen food supplies into the city and helped the people that are still in there. mostly women and children. exactly. globally speaking about 800000000 people have already been suffering from famine. how will this dire situation be impacted
2:19 pm
by the war? you saw the report before la shine ukraine are failed. 2 percent of the entire export of wheat is coming from those 2 countries. developed food for gar, maloney, spying close to $4000.00 tons of wheat from your claim, which is now that's half of our supplies billed. right, and we can't do that anymore. and the prices have gone up. and he also saw in lebanon, which is heavily reliant on wheat from ukraine. we have other countries in the region that we normally buy the food in ukraine, the wheat and the prices has gone up since february to march 24 percent read flies has increased. and that means for us extra costs. so compounded is colby and the, the cause is now in the ukraine. we actually paying $70000000.00 more for the same
2:20 pm
amount of food that we bought a year ago is to save money in $70000000.00 a month for us, for dog sort of l. food for god means we can not support for 1000000 people. among 4000000 people less to support. definitely sounds like at diane situations. what needs to change to con poor countries, for example, get access to our markets. they cane, but it's at 1st of all, it's filled away, middle east and northern africa. ukraine. these close to black. see if they have to buy food from the us or farm from other countries. fill the way it's the increase transport costs and the increase the ice for the, for the wheat. detailed. and that's like i said, it's everybody. if the same with the same amount of money, you get less food. jacob kern, emergency coordinator for the green crisis of the well food program. thank you very

2:22 pm
the 2 men have been arrested in their early thirty's, not previously known to the police. and they are now being questioned. they are now looking at the situation and at what has happened in this small town in belgium, bastille, 6 people are dead, many injured. how are people reacting or responding to those? yes, 6 people dads, 10 severely injured and more injured. and the mayor also spoke of this press conference and said that about a 152 to that 200 people gathered this morning at this small town. it's a traditional and carnival celebration that takes place there every year usually. and they gather in the morning and then they go from house to house to prepare for the big celebrations. and at this point, a car hit at high speed. and when the mayor spoke to the breast this morning, you could see how he was still in shock. his voice was trembling and of course,
2:23 pm
also as the condolences have been coming in over the morning from politicians, for example, the belgian prime minister alexander the crew, said that this is obviously horrible. use a community that wanted to celebrate that wanted to have a moment in peace, just was head at its core and the interior minister of belgium sent out her condolences to all who have died or the families of those have died or who got injured at this attack and this morning, did of you correspondence? well, you know, strauss in brussels. thank you. let's turn our attention to some of the stories making headlines around the world. humans who t rebels have claimed responsibility for doing strikes, targets, and energy and water facilities and saudi arabia. so the official see the weapons appear to be iranian, made. saudi collision has carried out air strikes against the hutus and humans on
2:24 pm
go in civil war. not korea fired multiple rocket launches on sunday. that's according to south korean military officials. the country has conducted a string of weapons tests this year for ramping up tensions between young, young and so ongoing concerns about north korea developing up its nuclear capacity . at least one person has been killed on the 20 injured in a shooting at the casual in the us state of arkansas on saturday evening with children reported to be amongst those local police said one person was in custody, but not without multiple shoot us for longer house counsel, school exams, a shortage as a country is west economic crisis. in modern times, deepens that have been several protests of our runway prices in recent weeks with long queues at fuel stations and blackouts as a country struggles to buy foreign imports. sometimes the color
2:25 pm
is just a color, that's how we, russian cosmonaut explains why he and his crew arrived that international space station where in the color of the green flag, blue and yellow, i've come to signal solidarity with ukraine. says that will be done. but of course, we're not pushed back on a speculation that the outside in against moscow. they could possibly be like every crew picks their suits or overalls on their own accord so that they don't look the same. they look different software. so, you know, it was our turn to pick the color. the truth is we had accumulated a lot of yellow material. so we needed to use it up because he was rolling in on the that's where we had to wear yellow flights. it's dealing with it. now someone to see a message of solidarity for ukraine and cosmo notes uniforms. so we actually expand, keep calling what he made of it. well, as they say where you stand,
2:26 pm
it depends on where you sit, where you float. i been watching people coming in and out of space stations for decades, and normally they were blue. sometimes it's a different color, but for 3 guys to come out in a suit that looks like the ukranian flag. and in the middle of a war where their countries attacked that country. what a coincidence. although some folks may say it looks like a depo video from the eighty's, but it depends on your perception. i guess nobody's given a clear yes or no answer yet. your watch indeed up the news here are the headlines . thousands of ukrainian so just have been killed in iraq and strike on a barracks in the south of the country. and russian missiles of struck on odd school where hundreds of people were taken shelter. this comes as the u. n. c. 10000000 people have now for libya, homes being ukraine. russia defense ministry says that has used hypersonic missiles again in combat for the 2nd day in
