12:01 pm
with it and says russia's brutal attack on ukraine should not be subsidized through shield payments and feeding refugees instead of fighting at the front. if i take the gun, i will delay just for one of the worst soldiers in the world. but if i take knife and go to the kitchen, i can be one of the best in the world. one of ukraine's best known chefs tells us how he is quite literally serving his country. ah, i'm and you can just mckennan welcome to the show. there are signs of ukrainian forces gaining ground and pushing back. russian forces intelligence reports say ukraine has retaken ground west of cave and has destroyed
12:02 pm
a ship in russian held territory. now in russia launched its invasion a month ago and expected to take ukraine and a lightning offensive. yet against all odds, ukrainian forces continue to keep one of the world's biggest armies at bay. but that resistance has come at a terrible price. ukrainian forces pushing back and destroying a russian ship at the port city of beth ganske. this was one of the most glaring displays of keith's resistance against moscow's advance on the front line and need a pin just outside the capital, keep ukrainian force. so say they have repelled the russians with the series of counter attacks. he should be thinking with the russians don't have the combat power. my men are hitting their supplies, and keep armed citizens would be shooting from every window and door,
12:03 pm
which i have been zoom. ukraine's defences are holding bloody me up. hooton's hopes of a lightening war. dashed rushes offensive has yet to reach odessa on the black sea. but people here have been stealing themselves for weeks. volunteers flocked to the beach not to enjoy the sun, but the fil. sandbags for barricades, they want to help whatever it takes and they believe in victory. no matter how best it asia, no in maria, holy argue. it doesn't matter who we but this battle comes at a high price. cities like murder, you po, almost burned to the ground and turned into a ghost town. and the human toll. it's hard to verify how many people have been killed in this war. in a crematorium and keep dozens of earns lay unclaimed. the relatives of the dead
12:04 pm
have had to flee and leave their loved ones behind officials in the ukrainian port city of mario, paul believed some 300 people could have died in last week's russian strike on assess of their hundreds of people were sheltering in the building in the center of the besieged city, when it was hit, mario pull a strategic portion, industrial center has been under heavy bombardment for weeks. civilians trapped there have little food, powell running water. and joining us from the western ukrainian city of live eve is all correspondent. they're funny for char, funny, 300 people are said to have died in the bombing of the sad and mario pool last week . tell us, what more are you hearing about that? local authorities, emory pool are remaining in this conjunctive and speculation formula could have
12:05 pm
died because it's really hard just to have the complete number of casualties there when this attack happened last week. and i have to, i'll point their point out. they are that in big letters in russia, it said children in front of the theater trying to prevent that. something like this can take place an attack on basically internally displaced people who just where they are trying to are some hold on, hoping that they could escape this horror. now it's unclear how many people who are in the building last week or who the number 1000. as a result, we cannot really verify and know the exact number, but a loaner report that apparently so many people have died. it clearly tells you that this and it's hack, not just only sent shock waves he across ukraine, but also so many parts of the road as people are wondering just how far this a russian attack against ukraine is going to go as they claim they just want to fulfill their plan, which is about the minute arising this country. now we're hearing the ukraine has
12:06 pm
said it sank a russian supply ship. what could that mean for ukrainian morale? could that be a boost or given the fact that this is not just a very strategic form, there are very close to mary paul about one and a half hours under normal circumstances. but also the fact that ukraine, of course, it needs to somehow keep up the spirit here among those who want to resist the people at the front line, or people who return to ukraine even here to the town of live in west and ukraine to show resistance by simply returning to war torn country. so any success or that can be seen as a success where ukrainian forces is something that really the ukrainian government is clinging on to this is something they direly need to keep the spirit up. we shall not forget that this war has been going on all going on for more than a full weeks and what else is there to come?
12:07 pm
so it's very important, but in terms of, in terms of what it signals in terms of a military success, we shall not forget either that russia remains superior given the number of troops given the military gear. they have. ukraine has also accusing russia, the ducting thousands of civilians evacuated from cities such as mario full tell us more about those accusations. that's quite interesting actually because ukraine claims about 400000 people have been forced forcibly removed from ukraine. and that very same or similar number more, but more than 400000 was also the number russia used, but they painted a different picture. they said that these people wanted to leave voluntarily, and that they are helping them even financially. so claims and counterclaims there, which of course doesn't change the situation on the ground, which is that at this 100000 people remain trapped in mario poll. not only they are also in heavily shout channel. jeremy, if a place is lohan, keep sue me and others,
12:08 pm
so the humanitarian catastrophe keeps suffocating. so many parts of ukraine, regardless of what we cannot verify yet, because we cannot talk to people who apparently have been taken to russia or not. this is something that we will know as soon as actually we have access to talk to people and funny just briefly what's the sense amongst ukrainians about how much longer they can keep going under the circumstances the people i was speaking to of over the past week for example, they keep saying they want to resist. there is no way that ukraine is going to give up any land. but at the same time, of course is growing frustration because they, they do see all the video links that are resident zalinski strike to basically call on political lead us in a very emotional way. but on the other hand, there's disappointment that all the promises by for a politician full short of the expectations of ukrainians. so people want to resist, but at the same time, at the very same time,
12:09 pm
they do want that the international political decision makers and step in and increase their support militarily in any way they can. and if a child in levine, ukraine, thank you so much. now the us in the you have announced to plan to reduce european countries dependence on russian gas at a joint news conference with the commission chief, also a funder line. president joe biden said the u. s. would increase its deliveries of liquefied natural gas to europe by 15000000 cubic meters this year, replacing 110th of russia's gas supply. he also said the current crisis is an opportunity to boost renewable energy sources. we're coming together to reduce your friend is on russian. energy. pardon is issued rushes energy resources, of course i manipulated snipers as i was using his years of province to driver's
12:10 pm
war machine. this initiative focuses on 2 core issues. one helping europe reduces to pregnancy on russian gash as quickly as possible. secondly, reducing europe for man, for gash overall, like an across now straight to brussels, where all of this has been happening and we can speak to a bureau chief that alexandra phenomena. alexander, tell us how significant is the steel between the you and the u. s. while the deal is significant, no doubt about that. the united states and the european union are showing that they are united and ready to take on the challenges that both sides are facing. there are deepening their energy partnership, promising to produce more renewable energy through use greenhouse gases, gas emissions. and of course, the most important aspect of this partnership is the you as promising to deliver at least 15000000000 cubic meters, offer liquefied natural gas to europe,
12:11 pm
to in this year, to help you out to be less dependent on russian gas. however, we have to say that that's just 10 percent of russia of what to russia is delivering every year. so it is not going to be enough. however, everything can that is aimed at helping europe be less dependent on russian gas and stabilize the markets is welcome here and the run up to the sun. many observe as expected, biden would try to pressure the you to follow the u. s. as lead and cut off a russian gas in ports completely. now that hasn't happened, even though we know that several members of the blocks members were in favor of such a move. tell us more about that. so this is caution is still going on. there are some members states, for instance, poland he would like would like to see tougher sanctions on russia. total ban on energy imports from russia. the thinking behind that is that it is your opinion
12:12 pm
money. presumably that is also financing 14th war on russia. but there are other members, deeds hungry, austria, and 1st and foremost, germany who are saying we need to 1st diversify our energy supplies. we need time to do that. and there are saying it's not possible right now to cut off or all imports from russia and the job german chancellor. olive shoulds told us yesterday that there is another aspect to all of it that it's important to have still some sanctions that could be in should youth if it is, curation is getting worse in ukraine. the w brussels bureau chief alexander phenomena. thanks so much and to talk about the german perspective. now we have our chief political correspondent, melinda crane in the studio. melinda, welcome. and now, when this conflict started, the german government made this historic decision to suspend the north stream to
12:13 pm
pipeline bringing gas from russia to germany. yet it's hesitant to move beyond that, as we just heard that they don't want to stop importing russian energy completely explained to us why. well, germany is significantly more dependent on russian natural gas than most other e u. member states. and germany has a very powerful industrial sector, which gets a lot of its electric power from natural gas fueled power plants. so it would indeed cause a lot of pain to cut off those supplies. cold turkey as it were. and in fact, chancellor will have schultz told the parliament that this week saying that it would hurt industry, it would cost jobs and could plunge germany and even europe into a recession. nonetheless, the fact is that even though germany is dragging its feet on an official stop,
12:14 pm
it is an to moving very fast behind the scenes to diversify away from russian fossil fuels. and in fact, the economy and climate minister says that on oil and on coal, he thinks that objective will be accomplished by the end of this year, which is quite extraordinary. and that by 2024, germany can probably also be totally off of russia. natural gas, so how is he and by the way, already got it, share down now from 55 percent of natural gas supplies coming from russia to actually 40 percent 15 percent reduction in just a matter of weeks. so that's pretty remarkable. he's doing that. among other things, by making deals with big, liquid natural gas suppliers, like could tar in the united arab emirates, the minister travel there this week to make deals with them. and, and in fact, hopes that by diversifying this very crucial energy insecurity can be reduced. let me just pick up there on the an economy climate minister of a hub, x trip to the middle east. now guitar in the united arab emirates,
12:15 pm
that the not exactly bastions of democracy and human rights all day. so could we see this as germany simply swapping out of one questionable energy supply to another to some degree, except that the basis would be more diversified than re not relying entirely on one questionable supplier. and i think the fact is in energy policy, there is an enormous amount of reale politic of pragmatism. and in fact, the economy minister, he is from the green party. this would not have been his preferred mission at the beginning of his term to run off to the middle east to negotiate oil and gas deals . but the fact is, pragmatism is called for at this moment because germany has a crucial short term problem to solve. he's also working on the longer term problem, which is the harmonization, and even those deals with guitar, u e, include a component that would try to boost renewable energy supplies into producing
12:16 pm
hydrogen. as a substitute for gas, a chief and its international correspondent, melinda, creating. thank you. so much now the russian onslaught has sent millions of ukrainians searching for shelter. many left their homes in a hurry, taking only what they could carry. for many of those arriving hungry in the city of the beef, the house being a pleasant surprise, though, provided by one of ukraine's top chef w's ambien. a thief visited his kitchen in levine and western ukraine. if you need a free meal and the eve, just ask for menu number to master chef again. corporate tango is crafting a daily meal for refugees. and just because it's free doesn't mean it's not going name going to be like. so it's about the gravy of the fees and the wild mushrooms global tank. it was certainly one of the most well

we import almost 40 percent of our wheat from russia and ukraine, and 80 percent of our flower bondsville company in that in us. so many people here do not believe the government's assurances, the supplies will last for another 3 months. prices are rising sharply. some sellers think that wholesalers want to profit from the crisis. nasdaq, they could, their black market tiers who were taking advantage of the war and ukraine and horton goods. there's no some alina, no sugar, no flour and no cooking oil. my notes in this me and my locks was saved. morocco also imports food staples, from russia and ukraine. even a slight increase in prices can lead to social tensions. the government is trying to reach for the public that you are coming up. hm. so all of the products that are needed during ramadan will be available if prices will be closely monitored so that
12:21 pm
citizens are not affected. hoboken, the kazora, alabama was at a long drowned eroded the soil and morocco to compensate for this. the government has had to set up a special budget, roughly equivalent to 1000000000 euros. now the war in ukraine is adding to those costs, which are hitting the poor countries of the mach rab, particularly hard at some of the other stories that we're following for you at is our 48 people have been killed in twin bomb attacks in central somalia. the 1st blast killed 2 lawmakers and their gods. it was followed by a car bomb outside a hospital where the injured were taken for treatment. the militant group, al chabad has claimed responsibility. north korea claims to have testified its biggest ever into continental miss. i'll state media report the launch was overseen by leader kim jong and to show the world that north korea is boosting it's nuclear deterrence. it's the country's 1st long range test. since 2017 and authorities in

belie, she's from fridays for future ukraine, and she joins us now from brussels arena. thanks so much for speaking to d. w. you only left ukraine a week ago, a week and a half ago. now you're in brussels, where you've been lobbying members of the european parliament. can you tell us how it feels to be campaigning outside your country while the war is raging back home? hello, everyone. thank you for inviting me for letting me speak. so it's not a problem for me to be in europe and to be here. well being to be here working. that's easy for me. like the fact is that i still have to do it. i'm a young person, i'm 16 years old and i was supposed to leave my real life like normal life to go to school to just educate myself. and i'm now here and i'm having meetings with both sessions with during the week media. so i feel like more frustrated that i have to that's,
12:24 pm
that's my you say that europe is sponsoring the war and you're calling on europe to boycott russian fossil fuels. can you explain to us the link between the climate crisis and the war as you see it? yes, the thing is that the russia, russia is the address, sir. that's clear. and we're just going to meet the band is dependent on fossil fuels in trading in investment in it. so more than half of a russian economy is dependent on fossil fuels. so why boy loose fossil fuels? we like europe sponsors this work. that's the point. so russia has an ability to have work in ukraine and i also country because of the mostly do you have a sense that climate goals and now gaining momentum?
12:25 pm
thanks to the well, that's happening in ukraine, the russian nation the thing is that the war has to be stopped. well, here it has to be stopped right now. so we have to act very concretely and we have to effect russian economy very well. that the point where we go to fossil fuels, because fossil fuels are like the main part of freshman economy or one of the main . so that's the point why we are talking about fossil fuels. and that should be, this action has to be short term one, but not long term one because war is happening every day. and i don't know why. i don't think that it's logical for ukraine and people to die because it's not ready for the transition. that's not the point. yes. so that's why we read fossil fuel. right now. all right. arena belie from fridays for future ukraine. thank you so
