a challenge to be just like residential building schools course for those kindergarten churches. so it's only continue. now the international criminal court has already said that it's going to launch investigation into possible war crimes in ukraine. can you talk to us about some of the graven russian attacks that could fall under this category? the international criminal court will have plenty of work here. a bicker cerebral, courage moment to maintain it. as i told deliberate shalon on the object and see them for the relation effects to community and $40.00 forcibly and transfer me to transfer the nation from occupied to rush and to duration use in. discriminated weapons like on unguided, formal classroom munitions, deliberate, that extra medical person, though, which is highly prohibited by international assuming that in a little political prosecution in a few by 3030 like beaten,

interesting in people who organize peaceful assemblies and also perfidy as a special crime according to internationalist, when you put in all stories, news shall, okay. and present zaleski has said that those complicit in war crimes will be brought to justice. as you know, this can be a long process, a painful process for families of victims. what are you looking at in the weeks in years to come when it comes to this for international justice, always delaying time. and that's why we, for one time charge to collect as much advance as possible. and because when we will do our best to, to bring the perpetrators to justice, we're also executor. so this crimes and we can and he's surrounding holger. nice this crimes. but for another side, we also thinking how to stop this more crimes to meet how to make prevention

prevention, offer appearing, or when you victims. can you talk to us about the evidence when you say you are gathering them as much as possible, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to document any such war crimes. there could be crucial to any investigation because of the ongoing fighting and the increased shelling. what are the biggest challenges to documenting right now? we restored or when you should, if you ever done the 1st and the top several 100 full and tears and for us is the problem that it's so like ordinary people and the majority of them had no legal background or appropriate through expert july weekend focused. only on such evidence, which is over there for people who go through various info, informational training like re gathered witness a testimonial or weakness, and weak teams or a deliberate civil overdue. so can, when you 30 and 40 to assess, for example, we know it's focused on sexual violence because our will, will,

in tears are not prepared to speak with the b team. so sexual violence. what would you like to see my side with child when it comes to western allies of ukraine, nato, the european union? what more do you want to see them do with regards to human rights abuses that you're seeing right now in your country? we need several things we need to position and we need to union to what a means reg, to position. i mean that we need to do our best western democracy in order to show which is the high price of this invasion and to possibilities to brush the economy, to feed this one. and when we go into the teeth, we will see that not all russian bands are banned from to the russia is not in the least don't plot that there is no and bible for oil and gas, and you come to to continue trade with russia. and when we speak about

unity, it's also very important because when, when she started this war, you thought that west will never have one common physicians or how to react to russian aggression. and i really hope that he will be mistaken if our 33 and the newsroom was, can cooperate together like russian billers, there is no use for western democracy not to find you need to human rights flooring . keep all exam dramatic choke. thank you very much for your time. thank you. i crania man who survive multiple nazi concentration camps has been killed by russian shelling and hark it. 96 year old boris roman shank o lived through nazi imprisonment and 4th labor and several concentration camps. including the one in book involved after world war 2, he returned home to hark is where he became a prominent peace activist and campaign,

or he was killed when his apartment block was hit by a russian shell on friday. our next gas is dr. young christiane wagner. director of the book involved foundation in the german city of weimar. mister wagner, thank you for speaking to us on this side day. how did you find out about the death of mister roman jenko for this morning. we have been informed by a person from shock is who is responsible for all contacts with a form of concentration of prisoners in the region of shop. and you told us that little munching was killed by a bullet which hits his house not try to what went through your mind. we heard the news. it was horrible. i was really shocked. but when i go frequently came to the boom memorial to join our

ceremonies or the anniversary of the, of the kind of like he read the book. during these events. he had the kind of apprentice to us in the memorial. we remember him very engaged in struggling against fascism for the memory of the comes and for peace and actually much lost his life much. and this owes them from 945. what to build the word of peace and freedom to build a world of peace and freedom, unfortunately for ukrainians that has been shattered some time ago with the annexation of crimea. and now this full scale invasion that started just over 3 weeks ago, can you talk to us about what some of the holocaust survivors in the country have been telling you about this invasion?

yes. are written with a lot of cars. so i was also with political survivors from the sequence and counts. and on the syllabus i spoke with short, really short for the whole life. they had been fighting for peace and for memory. and now we have a new war in the middle of europe. for example, last week, the international committee on my door, this is a board of the former prisoners from tracy camps. average declaration on the wall on the ukraine. clearly called down the rest of the tech on the ukraine, that demands pudding and the war at the ukraine. and now one of the members of the committee is changed or has come to death due to arrive at tech.

dr. wagner, before i go, i want to ask you about some of the work that your foundation is doing right now. you've partnered with 30 other remembrance associations and what will be setting up an aide network. can you talk to us about the kind of help that you are able to provide to the holocaust survivors in ukraine right now? they're obviously facing a totally different set of circumstances. just from 3 weeks ago. we're collecting donations to have survivors of the marketer in the ukraine, for example, to organize medication or food, or to help them to lease the crane to bring them to poland or to germany, to find accommodation for them. and if someone is willing to do, nate, please visit our website at w w, w dot boot, and much dot d e. and there you will find all the information on the donation accounts

dot hans christian wagner. thank you very much. he's the director of the book involved foundation here in germany. right there. you foreign and defense ministers have marked what they're calling a turning point in the use history. that's according to its foreign affairs, chief joseph for out speaking, after talks of the ministers of the 27 member states, browl said they had reached an agreement on security and defense. that was an important step for the e. u. as a security provider. he said the so called strategic compass was not a knee jerk reaction to russia as war on your brain, but it was well very timely. for also said, the european union is ready to impose further sanctions on russia, but no new sanctions on the russian. oil and gas sector were announced today. compass. and the w corresponding christine was joined now from brussels. christine the ear says it's ready to impose further sanctions on russia,

but is the block ready at all to target russia's energy sector? abby, there is a lot of resistance to that. our chief among those opposed to targeting rushes energy sector would be germany, which is really among those countries that is the most dependent on rushes energy by energy. i'm talking about a mix of coal oil as well as gas. it had been put on the table to have a conversation about at least targeting the oil sector, which would be much easier than gas for obvious reasons. the trouble there is moscow at some point did threaten that if there were some kind of embargo on oil imports that it could potentially retaliate by turning off the gas tabs. and in a time where energy prices are particularly high, here in europe at the fear is that a cut in supply from russian gas would really have a devastating impact not just on, on the livelihood of european c, it would affect the average household. but also there could potentially be economic

consequences to that. so certainly there was some pushing from the lithuanian for mr. for example. who ahead of that meeting this morning did come on record again to say that the energy section should absolutely be on the table. but there is a lot of resistance right now, especially among member states who rely so heavily on russian energy, particularly the gas. you see, i do want to ask you about this comment from a foreign policy for joseph brown saying that there's a turning point here when it comes to european defense doctors about that. that's right. they've adopted the strategic compass. this is something that the european union has been working on now for the last 2 years in affected as europe saying, we need to be more autonomy when it comes to defense capability right now. the $27.00 member states collectively contribute or allocates about as much as at china in terms of defense spending 4 times as much as russia does, but because it is not coordinated. there are lots of gaps in the system. you also have a lot of duplication. the idea here is that they're gonna coordinate when it comes

to defense capability, so that when a crisis like what we're seeing happening now and ukraine happens if a member state comes under attack, for example, europe does not solely have to rely on nato that europe can in itself, mobilize on its own. and so you're going to be seeing more conversations along those lines. practically, we'll start seeing european armies working together in maneuvering and in doing drills, this is something that doesn't happen any time they collaborate on that front. it happens under the nato framework, so it's certainly a turning point here, as the europeans start to realize what, but maybe isn't quite a new reality, but really just facing them now. add that a common defense packs is more practical and needed, given at what's going on. not very far away from where we sitting here in brussels, dw correspondent christian, why i think you, christine frances agricultural minister says the russian invasion of ukraine could lead to a global food crisis. ukraine has been one of the world's largest grain exporters,

but with the war threatening this year is harvest. the shortfall and higher prices will likely be felt around the world. the war is already having knock on effects. food aid met for countries already increases, had been diverted to feed the people of ukraine a food delivery for ukraine's hungry, responding to a humanitarian crisis that didn't even exist a month ago. some of these supplies, however, were previously dustin for hungry people in other parts of the world were show short of funds already. and now with ukraine we've um, 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. is a number of donors at the beginning, the older, the pool less, there's some commodities at coming. heading to ourselves. those committee would only be diverted in this, in the c heading to 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 roll a woods, russia and ukraine are part of the part of the palm bay food production hot globally. and the fact that the crisis is going on there, it's also definitely affecting supply chain to the global that to be 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. i'm joined now by thompson, piri global spokesperson for the u. n. world food program. thank you for taking the time to speak with us mr piri, i want to start by talking about the fact that a vital portion of the world, wheat may become increasingly accessible to this war and ukraine. same goes for fertilizers. can you talk to us about the overall global picture here?

the u. n. is calling that there's a potential for a hunger hurricane. what do you mean by that? even before the war ukraine 2022 had already been detail unprecedented. the walls were broken, was gearing up to one of its biggest, if not the biggest operation yet to reach more than 157000000 people globe. now this would have come to worst time, you know, global food prices in high fighting is making of a bad situation even where we are extremely concerned now, because of the impact of this price is $1.00 for security to go. i mean, it's quite clear, the consequences of the conflict in ukraine will be felt thousands of miles from the bottom. it was even long after the guns in silence. we aren't able to buy them. i mean, you train is already slept an expert bond or made or main food projects. so that

means i strong gains already having that report effect, but he's out that prices will shoot and millions of people will be unable to, to, to, to, to buy food for the. and you mentioned that it was already a dire situation in various parts of the world and the impact of this war. well, make it much worse. you and your organization had said that up to an additional 8 to 13100000 people will go hungry because of the impact of this war. can you talk to us about the regions that we particularly hardest hit leg? and it's quite clear from what we can see now that the middle east in north africa region is particularly found. i often prizes imports large quantities of food, lebanon, for example, in ports half of his weeds from ukraine, yemen. we have been in boarding 22 percent from yemen to me. 42 percent

buyers as well in asia, in africa, would also face more expensive. branding meets if the supplies continue to be disruptive. so food from ukraine would need to get in place right now with what it is from other sources. and this is likely to push the prices even higher. and i'll just reach of many people in the regions. i've made talk to us about funding, what are the biggest challenges that the un food program is facing right now from trying to help people who are already starving to helping those who are becoming newly impoverished. make up the wolf program fundraising on the goal. we fundraising as we go and go to the jack, did not need another conflict in ukraine, to be honest, we need a team $1000000000.00 just for 2022. so we are short of funds. we, i, we have enough people that is out. we're going to you for, for,

for him and we're going up to 40 b or b i n a pupils out and it be got you for you bring right now. all these funding up, you need money. they need resources now, and we need the time to be able to translate those resources into food or people as we are running short. we are operating one issues, gene and we have a good time as a thompson period of global folks. person for the u. n. world food program, thank you very much. thank you so much. we're having here some of the other developments in the war that were falling for this hour. a court in moscow has banned facebook and instagram and russia, labeling them extremist organizations. the 2 social media platforms owned by parent company mehta had already been blocked in russia over their role in disseminating information. following russia as invasion of ukraine, twitter is currently also restricted. an additional new zealand has pledged

a fertile $3500000.00 of non lethal military assistance to ukraine. prime minister just into our darren says the money would be primarily directed to a nato trust fund that provides help in the form of communication equipment. and 1st aid and a military has died cuz china as president, using paying has ordered an immediate investigation into the cause of a plane crash in the country south. that's according to china's state broadcaster, 132 passengers and 9 crew members were on board. the china, eastern airlines plane, the aircraft a boeing 737, was traveling from coon main to one joel, and as understood to have crashed close to the city of jo. air traffic control sad . the plane plummeted from 8000 meters in just 3 minutes. there has been no official word about fatalities, nor survivors. earlier, he spoke to

a correspondent, father crash nor in beijing, and asked him about the safety records. a chinese airlines. the china in general, had really a very tragic period during the 90, so were lot of cock paint precious. but during the last 20 years, the country a had a re safe, a period and a, the airline, china, eastern airlines, basically had no major accidents for almost 2 decades. so you could say it's a safe airline by international standards. and the reason why this happened in, out of the me, the tragedy of today is really not known because many experts, aviation safety experts. they said that even if the 2 engines of the boeing 737, failed a simultaneous li, then it would not explain how a plane basically crashes falling down like a stone from the sky em because it would usually glide. but it was really a vertical line, so there must be some as a reason, and i hope that we get on the ground soon. and now even though that $1000.00 people

rescuers on going, we have not found yet the black box of the plane. and maybe that could help shed some light into this tragedy. roger did all we need is from berlin. i'm abbey cuevas, and after a short break, i will be back with the day. in the meantime, you can get all the latest news and analysis on our website at w dot com. yeah, bear with me. ah, with
