[000:00:00;00] ah ah this is d w. news. why? from berlin? a massive explosion on the outskirts of ukraine's capital. several people are killed when russian shelling destroys a shopping complex. in a residential neighborhood, emergency crews are still searching the rubble for survivors. meanwhile, the besieged port of mario pl refuses to surrender the e. u now calling russia his tactics a war cry. germany's vice chancellor pullback covet, travels to the golf in search of new energy sources,

as berlin scrambles to diversify it, supply after years of relying on russian importance and thousands, turn out for a peace concert in berlin. one of several anti war demonstrations of crossed germany. i. 7 ah ah well it to day 26 of russia's war of aggression against ukraine. i'm michael oke, who welcome at least 8 people or dead after neighbourhood on at a neighbourhood on the outskirts of kids. came under attack after heavy showing overnight. and despite the weeks long siege, the eastern port of mario opal has defied

a russian deadline to surrender. the european union's top diplomat shows russia's tactics or a war cry. a blast that shook the entire city of cave. fires erupted amid the wreckage of the mall. that was hit by russian shelling, fire fighters that rush 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 when those 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,

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 will admit zalinski again condemned the attack on the city. look up. mm hm. when we deal with florida, the blockade of mario paul will go down in history as a war. crime to do this to a pistol. 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 in these, the more russia uses terror against ukraine. the more it will suffer, the consequences. creighton, houston nozzler. you must avoid glen ne, in matter you paul ukrainians plan to keep on resisting surrender. they say is out of the question. so again, it took a 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 blast 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, why was hit, what are the consequences, what's going on there? there's no panic in the city. and 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 are at this point quite used to lisa tags and ali, you know, everybody's well coordinated. knows what can happen, sir. 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 ice. how are you coping with this? what is going on with the people that allows them to just shoulder on you can't believe how humans are adapting to any circumstances they're leaving. we're in, i mean it's, it's a shock the 1st day. but then people get used to cyrus,

people get used to attacks. 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 any here, san blas that's, that's just part of your life. now you're taking precautions, but you're keeping cool. those who could not cope with that left the city and had a right to do that, that those who stayed, 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. and in order to be able to effectively thought them, you have to ensure that no civilian 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, inspired partners. so it's critical to have the 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 residents there, of course, is, 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,

we wait. 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, at this point on the country, people get more coordinated, 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. military experts say they expect the next 10 days. we'll decide the war in ukraine. we asked amir my research of the atlanta counsels europe center for analysis. i have to say it's very difficult to know whether general hodges is correct on this. all of us in and the sort of non official sphere are watching the news and trying to piece together exactly what's

happening just like you are in the media. and we do see that the russians have failed to achieve their initial goals. absolutely, there's been a setback for them. and as a report, it shows the ukranian response has been quite fierce and they have managed to, to saw what has happened. but it's not clear to me, quite frankly, that the russians have not started adapting to the next phase. of the war, which i think will be one of attrition given the kinds of loss is the russians are taking and the kind of a real morale that the ukrainians are showing. i think that the optimistic take is that perhaps a kind of necessary still made might emerge within the next 10 days. but i wouldn't be quite so certain of that. it's just as likely that we could get just an ongoing grinding war that goes on for weeks of not months. so far, the united nations has countered more than $900.00 civilians killed since the start

of russia's invasion of ukraine. over a 100 of them were children, thousands more have been wounded in the attacks. one hospital in chief is trying its best to treat young survivors. despite the challenges of war, hello to me, it is lucky to be alive, is the car he was travelling in was hit by gun fired. 2 days after russia invaded ukraine, his father and his 6 year old cousin were killed. although the 13 year old survived, he's been left with serious injuries. no hulu, his face was hurt and his jaw and his nose were broken. his arm was hit, his leg was hit in 2 places as well as his other leg. he had one or 2 bullets in his back. i can't remember staff working at this children's hospital in the ukrainian capital keep. stay here round the clock. they have to because of the

security situation and the amount of work they have. these are tough times rational. it's really terrible. it's challenging, emotionally. it's awful. we live in the hospital, we don't go home. we are available 247 and any time, day or night, morning evening we rushed to help the children and it's really difficult. labor after all her family, some of us new school cycle support, maybe mark or low roof or we only focus on 3 people tripling children to follow to me it will need more surgery. doctors hope he will be able to walk again. but no one really knows if his emotional scars will ever heal or the blue we work with the bush. 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 holberg to hubbard has traveled to the gulf states of cutter 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 gossip with gas from 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. part most often, the companies that have come with us will now enter into deeper contract negotiations with the guitar. a side. i'm just, i'm at arsons, i to initial hearts $102.00 french time. 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 a d w's, chief, political correspondent to melinda crane. melinda, why was this trip to the golf necessary and did germany get what it came for? 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 russia natural gas by diversifying its sources. but also it's 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 habits 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, 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 d. carmen ization 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 could tar 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, i have to keep harping on there so well, but hobbit a prominent member of the green party and one of the countries strongest from up 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. and the sense i'm getting is that most citizens and media appreciate the pragmatism that they're seeing from the minister. that's t w's . chief political correspondent, melinda crane. many, many facts you foreign and defense ministers are meeting again in brussels with the war. and ukraine said to dominate the agenda, the prospect of tightening sanctions against russia, iis 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 ease calling for humanitarian air lift out of ukraine. the power clinician 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. everyone has to take in refugees and it's not about a few 1000. it's about millions. you want the estimates, go to $8000000.00 refugees and there will certainly be more to come by. that means we have to taken 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 trans atlantic and mines. and here's a look at some other developments in the war. a court in moscow has rejected a request by the tech giant mehta to dismiss or trial deciding if it should be classified as an extremist organization. russian authorities want to ban platforms like facebook and instagram for their role in disseminating information. following the vision of you, chris new zealand has pledged a further $3500000.00 of non lethal military assistance to ukraine. prime minister jacinto order and said the money would be primarily directed to

a nato trust fund that provides help in the form of communication equipment. and 1st day communications and military polish officials say thousands of trucks headed for believers are backed up for 40 kilometers at the border. as protesters blocked the road, the demonstrators were demanding the you hold all trade with russia and it's al, i believe. over to warn you, chris francis 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, their shortfall and higher prices will likely be felt across the globe. and now ukrainians themselves need food aid. 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 show 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 rash? 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 learners at the beginning, they already told us there's some commodities at coming. heading to ourselves. those committee would only be the identity 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, had 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 role that was russia and ukraine, ah, part of the part of the food production hot globally. and the fact that the crisis is going on there, it's also definitely a threat to supply g 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. the civil aviation administration of china has confirmed that a china eastern airlines plane has crashed in the south of the country. there were a 123 passengers and 9 crew members on board the plane, reportedly a boeing 730 shaven, was traveling from could ming 2 gun joe and is understood to have crash close to the city of wu, jo, in one she province. chinese present encouraging pang said he was shocked by the crash, the number of casualties. and the reason for the crash are not yet known. let's bring in corresponding fabi and crash more in beijing fabi. and can you bring us up to date on what happened yet, the plane took off and in combing that sir, capital of you none province. and in the beginning,
