12:02 pm
a russian deadline to surrender. the european union's top diplomat says, russia's tactics or war cry. a blast that shook the entire city of keith. fires erupted amid the wreckage of the mall. that was hit by russian shelling, fire fighters that rushed to the scene, were able to pull at least one person out of the rubble alive. but the aftermath is a scene of devastation. parts of the mall were completely obliterated. windows blown out metal twisted craters in what used to be the parking lot civilians killed in the bombing of civilian infrastructure. fresh and troops have been hitting keith with a series of strikes, including on apartment buildings. but for now,
12:03 pm
their advance has largely stalled on the outskirts of the city. ukraine rejected an ultimatum for the city of matthew pole in the country's east to surrender to russian forces. russia had offered safe passage out of them are you pull, but only for those who would lay down their weapons. conditions in the besieged city continue to be difficult. food and water are scarce. medical help is hard to come by. jo, ukraine's president vladimir zalinski again condemned the attack on the city. look at me mighty open or reveal this fully. the blockade of mario paul will go down in history as a war. crime to do this, to a peaceful city is terrorism. that will be remembered in centuries to come each in a state and the more ukrainians tell the world about it. the more support we will get the leaves. with the more russia uses terror against ukraine,
12:04 pm
the more it will suffer, the consequences really deem he of shanaski was the pardon me. in matthew paul ukrainians plan to keep on resisting surrender. they say is out of the question sir. keep it took off former deputy minister of justice and now a law lecturer at the national university of keith joins us now. survey, thank you so much for making the time for us today. but 1st, we've seen this morning, the terrible destruction caused by russian bonds to achieve neighbourhood. how are people in the city coping with this violence and, and how are you coping? right. and so this is a shopping mall in my area. and i could actually both here and see the last last night. so we are talking to each other to our neighbors on, on various chads. and people are just of course, straight away, rushing to get more information. what was hit, what are the consequences?
12:05 pm
what's going on? there is no panic in the city. people are just making sure that you know they're close. one are safe. and if they live, the houses in the houses are intact and if the windows are still there. so i think we're at least point quite used to listen tags and the, you know, everybody's well coordinated knows what can happen. so you have to say, i'm going to keep this personal for a moment. i think so many viewers. watch what's going on in ukraine. and they, they look at it with some degree of incredulity. in fact, looking at you right now. you as, as cool as eyes. how are you coping with this? what is going on with the people that allows them to just soldier on you can believe how humans are adapting to any circumstances they're leaving. we're in, i mean it's, it's a shock the 1st days. but then people get used to cyrus. people get used to attacks
12:06 pm
. again, i'm in this neighborhood that, that hears on, you know, the shots throughout all those 3 weeks. so we're kind of used to that. you go to, you know, when to do shopping. and he hear some blast that's, that's just part of your life. now you're taking precautions, but you're keeping call those who could not cope with that left the city and had a right to do that. that. those who say we know what's going to happen, we know that we have to be prepared. we were psychologically single and we're just flexible enough to get used to live psychologically stable. ok more questions for you. keep the mayor of vitality clear, go, has just announced reinforce curfew in the capital starting later tonight, asking people to stay either at home or in shelters. why is he doing that? right, michael. so this is the 3rd time that this has been happening. and each time i think it was full full reason that we were expecting russian attacks on the ground within the city. we expected incursion of there are small groups within the city.
12:07 pm
and in order to be able to effectively thought them, you have to ensure that no the william is outside. so i think everybody understands that. and that means that to morrow, whoever is mad on the street, can be presumed to be anatomy. and therefore, you know that if people can, you know, our, our forces can react upon it. because we've seen the, you know, the russians, these guys as civilians, as ambulances, is 5 quarters. so it's critical to have a curfew for armed forces, entry door defense to be able to stop anyone, anyone who is on the street without sound reason understood. i want to get to my real poll the residence there. of course, as you know, have refused to russian ultimatum to surrender. so it seems that determination to resist the russian invasion, remain strong. despite the fact that thousands are trapped. exactly it we, we,
12:08 pm
i mean i'm, i'm talking to many people. i talked to my neighbors to my friends, i see what's going on. the morale stays high. i don't think anyone is panic in this point on the country. people get more coordinate in better organized. we are hoping for the best, but prepared for the worst. that is to say, keep it to cough a former deputy justice minister of ukraine. really appreciate your time and perspective, sir. germany's reliance on russian gas has exposed europe's biggest economy. it's reluctant to impose energy sanctions on russia, and it's why economics minister holbert hubbard has traveled to the gulf states of guitar and the united arab emirates to negotiate a long term energy partnership. the trip is about energy and reducing germany's dependency on russian gas. germany wants to replace russian gas with gas from
12:09 pm
guitar. after talks with the amir of guitar, the german economy minister said a deal had been sealed. goes on to your i zone. it's great news. and that was the purpose of this visit that we've agreed on a long term energy partnership partners. often the companies that have come with us will now enter into deeper contract negotiations with the guitar re side. i'm just, i'm at austin's, i to initial ha, ha ha, normative einstein, many of the top german business leaders are traveling with havoc. the visit has been seen as an opportunity for german companies to do business with guitar. despite open questions about democracy and human rights. after visiting gets her, the german delegation traveled on to the united arab emirates for talks on securing green hydrogen, produced with renewable energy. let's bring in d. job is chief political correspondent to melinda crane. belinda, why was this trip to the golf necessary? and did germany get what it came for?
12:10 pm
it was necessary for all the reason, so that you mentioned germany's very high energy dependence on russia. and in fact, minister habit got more than he wanted. he got a package deal that could help germany. not only deal with its short term problem, namely weaning itself off russian natural gas by diversifying its sources, but also its longer term goal of transforming its energy system to become climate neutral. both are huge challenges for a big economy with a very high energy hungry industrial sector, which is one reason why germany has refused, as you said, to go along with suggestion so far for an import embargo on russian fuels. mister nick, mister hub, it said this long term energy partnership, which isn't finalized, is a milestone toward what he called puting free energy. and it would focus both on liquefied natural gas deliveries to meet germany,
12:11 pm
short term needs. and on developing renewable energy projects that could create a reliable supply of green hydrogen green. hydrogen is viewed as the fuel of choice for heavy industry. and that's why it is no accident that the c e. o is a sum of germany's biggest companies were along for this trip. melinda, as you well know, critics would argue, germany's ditching one country with a bad human rights track record for another country with a bad human rights record. absolutely, the visit to katara is awkward for a minister from the green party, which in the past has said that both t got dick harmonization and human rights should be priorities for this country's international relations minister. having said that when he brought up the subject of how foreign workers in katara are being treated, many of them are there for working on construction for the world cup and apparently are being underpaid, working extremely long hours. his counterparts told him he said that they are aware of the problem and are working to remedy it. so again,
12:12 pm
i have to keep harping on there, so we'll but hobbit a prominent member of the green party and one of the country strongest promot proponents i should say, of ending dependence on fossil fuels traveling to the gulf to buy gas. how's that going down in germany generally? absolutely, that's the 2nd awkward aspect of this trip, but the response to have ex initiatives and to his caution about going cold turkey on russian gas is generally positive. germans are well aware that going shopping for fossil fuel is not a roll. this green party leader would have wanted, but there is a new realism in this country in the sense i'm getting is that most citizens and media appreciate the pragmatism that they're seeing from the minister. 12 years ago, of course, in the wake of the fukushima nuclear disaster, then chantelle natural boldly declared that germany would transition to renewable energies with the last nuclear power plant set to shut down this year. germany saw itself as
12:13 pm
a world leader on energy transformation. what does the government heightened focus right now on loading up on gas due to that image? if anything it tarnish? is it absolutely no question about it? the government has just reconfirm what we heard earlier this year for minister, how back that it will not be meeting its climate goals for this year or next year. and the fact is that the entire germany, a german energy system is absolutely in disarray. and i think this will tarnish, not so much this government is the one that preceded it, and including the legacy of uncle immacule, who persisted with that dependence on russian gas in the face of a lot of criticism. both at home and abroad, from people saying it would create additional energy and security. some of the pain of this war that's t w's. chief political correspondent, melinda crane. many, many facts you foreign and defense ministers are
12:14 pm
meeting again in brussels. worth the war in ukraine said to dominate the agenda. the prospect of tightening sanctions against russia is on the table. the ministers are also expected to discuss whether or not to impose an oil embargo on the country . the meeting comes ahead of a visit from us president joe biden, to brussels on thursday. germany's foreign minister is calling for humanitarian air left out of ukraine. the appall clinique law. not only do we need corridors on the ground out of ukraine, and we also need an air lift in solidarity. we have to distribute from the external border directly to european countries. i. every one has to take in refugees and it's not about a few 1000. it's about millions, you, one of the estimates go to $8000000.00 refugees and there will certainly be more to come by. that means we have to take refugees that have arrived to every country in europe in the hundreds of thousands and above all, distribute them across the trans atlantic. but in concept land, here's
12:15 pm
a look at some of the other developments in the war. a trial to decide if the tech giant meta is to be branded an extremist organization begins in moscow to day. russian authorities want to ban platforms like facebook and instagram for their role and disseminating information. following the invasion of ukraine. hey zealand has pledged a further $3500000.00 of non lethal military assistance to ukraine. prime minister jacinta r durn, says the money would be primarily directed to a nato trust fund. that provides help in the form of communication equipment and 1st aid indications in military 50 trances. agriculture minister says the russian invasion of ukraine could lead to a global food crisis. ukraine is normally one of the world's biggest grain exporters, but with the war threatening this year's harvest, the shortfall and higher prices will likely be felt across the globe. and now
12:16 pm
ukrainians themselves need food. a food delivery for ukraine's hungry, responding to a humanitarian crisis that didn't even exist a month ago. some of the supplies, however, were previously destined for hungry people in other parts of the world. were so short of funds already. and now with ukraine. we've got we've got 50 percent ration for people, for example, in yemen, i've just cut 50 percent ration for 8000000 people these year 50 percent rashes chad, 50 percent residence in 50 percent. don't have anything. those who are in extreme need. so it's already having a global impact. the effects are already being felt in somalia. a major drought there has uprooted thousands of people who now depend on international food aid. many are reliant on one meal a day. some are dying of malnutrition, busy number of lunars at the beginning, the already pull us. there's some commodities are coming heading to ourselves.
12:17 pm
those committee would only be diverted in this in the c, heading to a ukraine. and yemen, the poorest country on earth ravaged by years of civil war. people here depend on staples like wheat to survive, much of which is grown in ukraine. now that supply is under threat at, in rising prices for transportation, fuel, and fertilizer, all driven by the war. and more and more people are feeling the shock here and in africa. what prices are really going going up not only are many african countries particularly given to roll a woods, russia and ukraine are probably part of the power. i'm a food production hot globally,
12:18 pm
and the fact that the crisis is going on there. it's also definitely affecting supply chain to the globe that to get to the world. food insecurity creates even more danger of civil conflict and chaos. while much of the world focuses it's attention on ukraine. that sucked more about this crisis with the monica tortuga, with the food and agricultural organization of the you and now welcome to d, w. monica. what ramifications could this supply crisis half where the world good afternoon from an i'm thank you for having me. and for bailey beesley, on 85 in the fact that you're following, we have a situation where we need to consider 3 fact and a. 6 first one that on the before, because i finish on a full range, been all time high. this market supply and demand conditions, but also i think and then the eyes of an urban agriculture between pushing the
12:19 pm
highest and the same time, both ration from asia menu claim. i'm very important in the global range for, for the let me call back every bank and example of read, which is a fable for 35 percent of the population will be dropped in 2021 in the bank. so company accounting for about 30 percent of the global market. now we are not quite sure how it's going to work out for now for these kind of marketing that are not being or the need grain or nation dimension. but we have yet to see how that impacts of the function and trying, i mean, finding the brown as it has been examining from many of the number of 500 grease for example. and in the book increase
12:20 pm
for, for about 5 years, the fable bonds went between be increased almost. and then i'll be adding a 15 point one any, any further than being on, on anything that can happen in the market will be a tipping point. which regions will likely be hit the hardest by these food shortages? i imagine those areas that probably rely more on inexpensive food choices. so i put the country all countries back in for being ongoing. it will be affected by, by high, but i feel regardless will be for maybe like a month free on the you can, i mean on to get your supply van country, you need to look for new supply under can to get off the got and, and me and eastern asia, for example, we try to be lying. i logged on the black feed because the train station and of
12:21 pm
course, who is going to be improving because we have been on the some funding from high levels will really be that abilene f. b, like that mentioned, he mentioned and beyond, the events will be more, i think, the find the hand. right. as we heard in that report, 8 organizations have already had to cut supplies to countries suffering already suffering. how long can this war keep going before we're essentially looking at a situation where 8 organizations, including un agencies, will have to decide who gets the eat and who doesn't? wellington, the un will decide who gets the best and bad it is a matter of fact that when that increasing but i sees the 8 organization, they branch us on the market
12:22 pm
a bunch of supply from the country. sometimes they buy just supplies in the country . one day, when a chance was a point apartments, but they are still running much dependent on the market, and they have been paying higher. and i see in a recent bank higher prices that also have to pay high shipping costs. for example, i now shipping your bank is impossible because alexi recalls that you should have been so high. so i mean, all depends on the findings and i mean the costs, including the global operations increase, a lot of uncertainty. we can and i think we're going to have to end it there, but really do appreciate your time. that's monica tova from the united nations. many, many thanks. thank you. on the civil aviation administration of china has confirmed that a china eastern airlines plane has crashed in the south of the country. there were
