ah, ah ah, this is here we do is live from brazil counter attack ukraine, his back against russian forces near keith. your brains out gun military report success re taking some areas west of the capital for the countries population is paying a heavy price. also coming up joining forces the united states and europe announced a new energy partnership with the u. s. to supply of liquefied natural gas to you markets this year. presidential bible says russia's brutal attack on ukraine should not be subsidized through fuel payments and feeding refugees instead of

fighting at the front. if i take the gun, i will be like just the one of the worst soldiers in the world. but if i take knife and they go to the kitchen, i can be one of the best shops in the world of ukraine's best known chefs tells us how he is quite literally serving his country. ah, hello everyone, i'm layla rock. thank you very much for joining us. we start this broadcast with the latest from the ground in ukraine, where there are signs of ukrainian forces re taking territory and pushing back russian forces. intelligence reports, the ukraine has reclaimed areas west of keith and destroyed a ship in russian hel territory. when russia launched its invasion a month ago,

it expected a quick route against all odds ukrainian forces continue to keep one of the world's biggest armies at bait. but that resistance has come at a terrible price. mighty you, bull in eastern ukraine has come to symbolize the devastation russian bombardment has wrought. most of the city has seen terrible destruction. people trapped your struggle to find food or water. ukrainian officials now believe some 300 people could have died in last week strike on a theater. their hundreds had been seeking shelter in the building when it was leveled by a russian bomb. here in michel live near the black sea. a rocket hit tatiana as building her neighbors were killed. her home is now wrecked. oh, but she is staying put with your apple to week. we will stay in the co live and

will be here until the end drifted on board. i will go back to work. yes, just my company is still operating clear with the metal model. in the do, i hope to carry on working more. i would just not do tv. but while russia keeps bombing from afar, it's advanced into ukraine's main. cities has mostly stalled ukrainian forces are pushing back on the front line and need a pin just outside the capital. keep ukrainian forces have repelled the russians with a series of counter attacks. as this commander explains. so you think 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. china venzano, ukraine's defenses are holding loudly me to put in hopes of a lightening, quick war dashed. but this battle comes at a high price,

especially for human lives. 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 have fled, and they had to leave their loved ones remains behind well tracking development. so for you, we're in ukraine, is our correspondence. funny for sure. she joins us from the western ukrainian city of levine, a terrible humanitarian toll. funny that this war has taken us so far. we understand also now 300 people were killed in the bombing of the more you paul theater last week. what more have you learned? reported the 300 layla because we do not know the exact number. in fact, last week we heard that at least 1000 people were hiding in that theater, waiting to leave the humanitarian corridor. but that corey door never came. what

came instead? what was this attack by russia, even though in big lattice, in russia, russia and it said children in front of it are now russia claims that the only interested in military infrastructure, the child. this clearly wasn't one. this was a place i shall to, for people who already went through still much. we will not know at this point the exact number. it's really hard to verify, but alone the fact that at least 300 people were killed in that really sent shock waves shock waves across ukraine. but even prior to that, when this attack happened, because people are asking themselves just whole fall, russia and the russia military is capable of going and wants to go in this war in ukraine. and funny, in another disturbing development, ukraine is accusing russia of abducting thousands of civilians evacuated from cities like murder you, paul, can you tell us more about these accusations that are being leveled by ukrainian

leadership? just have you so much so many information that you've heard during this war, the claims and come to claim. so yes, ukraine claims that about 400000 people have been forcibly removed from different parts of ukraine. russia again, claims that rough before and a 1000 people voluntarily wanted to come to russia, mostly from the don't bus region. now at the i un un or a human rights team of the united nation analysis, they're going to look into this allegation specifically into the allegation that about 6000 people have been forcibly removed from are you pull at this point, you do not know actually whether this is true or not what we do know, however, that the humanitarian catastrophe, not only in muddy pool, but also in chatham here, and other places goes on and people would like to leave these places. the question read is how, when, and just how fast and funny in conclusion, that ukraine's army is reporting some major successes in re taking some areas west

of the capital at a very heavy price of the population. what's the morale like around you? depends really which more all referred to is it about ukranian civilians. then i can tell you for sure that hundreds of thousands of people here live if either temple is stranded to say. so because they can't just simply decide to leave ukraine. i'm going to go to work to start the new life, and of course, nearly 4000000 people have left ukraine already. so clearly they want to leave more people want to leave as well as more millions are internally displaced in this country when it comes to them are all at the front line. so just of course, both women and men who are at the frontline need some positive news, desperately. and this is what the ukrainian government is giving them, at least since yesterday, saying that they do make some progress in key to the nose and to the east of the city. and also, of course, reported that ship that russian ship was destroyed near mar, you pool in

a close to mario pool. but in terms of them are all around. it's a mixed picture because we have to understand that this war is going to the 2nd month now. so really, the question is just how strong this resistance will be, as all of this continues here in ukraine, for shar reporting from the ukraine. any, thank you very much. the u. s. and the you have announced a plan to reduce european countries dependence on russian gas at a joint news conference with you, commission chief of underlying president, joe by city. yes. 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 on his 1st trip to europe since russia's invasion of ukraine. good morning,

u. s. president joe biden is stepping up efforts to assist you allies announcing a task force to reduce europe's reliance on russian fossil fuels that we're going to work to ensure an additional 115-1515 1000000 cubic meters of liquefied natural gas, l. n. g. for europe this year, and as the year, as you worked to discontinue it by russian gas. well before 2030 and law will also work to ensure additional you market demand for 50000000000 cubic meters. rowan g from united states annually by 2030 with almost half of the east natural gas coming from russia. the european commission president said it sends a clear message that europe won't help fuel russia's war. mister fred. dear joe, this war will be a strategic failure for putting so we want as europeans to diversify away from russia,

towards suppliers that we trust that our friends and that are reliable. on thursday western powers gathered in brussels for back to back meetings of nato, the e u and g 7 topping the agenda, confronting the unprecedented threat to europe's instability and the unpredictable aggression of russia's war against ukraine. nato's chief re affirmed his support for ukraine and a response if russia deployed a nuclear or biological attack, our top military commander, general walters house, activated naples, chemical, biological, or rather logical and nuclear. the fence elements on all ours are deploying additional chemical on biological and nuclear defenses to reinforce our existing on new vacuums. for moscow they promised more punishment and isolation, including new sanctions against hundreds of individuals and entities. g 70 does

announced, though, restrict the russian central banks use of gold. major wheat produces canada and the us said they'd increase exports to help combat the growing food security crisis caused by russia's invasion of ukraine. now, luckily, but ukraine's president appealed for more military support. and called out the block for not taking action against russia fast enough yet with this the philosophy, uva plight sanctions and we're grateful. civil building, these are powerful steps, could be but it was a little late. we civil war because of the was preventive club. russia would not have gone to war. no one knows for sure, but at least there was a chess, was nearly full 1000000 ukrainians having fled the wool by then announced plans to welcome 100000 refugees. as he had to poland, to assess the humanitarian situation on the border with ukraine. while the west offers assurances by piling more pressure on russia and picketing away from its

energy supply, the fighting rages into its 2nd month urgency to find peace and stability has never been more pressing while you are sending you announcing that new energy partnership just moments ago, did abuse, we're in a straus is in a brussels, a marina. first of all, how significant is this deal between the e u and the u. s. it is an important deal alone because it's a sign of unity that the u. s. and the use show today because it demonstrates that they're closed, that they're united when it comes to their stands towards russia also alone. the fact that joe biden to you as president sat with a u. m. e leaders a yesterday and also a day and discussed with them ended. they came to the steel, they did their struct, his steel shows is shows a sign of unity and

a 15000000000 cubic meters of liquid natural gas. ellen g is and not a lot when it comes to the amount of gas that a rush added lloyd to the european union. but it is also not nothing. while the l. n g from the u. s. me enough to replace russian gas supplies. no, the answer is very simple. no, definitely not because it's only 110th of the amount that are of the russian guest that you usually address at delivery to the european union, a 155 cubic meters per year and 2021. so it's only a drop, a simple, but it's a start. and also the u. s. said there will deliver more liquid natural gas on low, longer term. and also that you're looking at other sources of liquid natural gas. for example, a germany of the german, a business economists minister traveled to cut tar to strike

a deal there. then. but there are also other problems, for example, there not enough terminals in the european union yet to, to get liquid natural gas. so it's something that will have to be built in the coming months and years. in conclusion, marina, there are a lot of very vocal e, u. member states who want a gas russian gas imports to stop right away. but there seems to be off the table right now. why that's to, you know, when the last we and prime minister arrived here this morning, it was very clear that he would be a pro road pro ban. oh, when it comes to gas and abandon grout gas from russia, he said that and we have to get away from russian gas as soon as possible. he's joined by the baltic states and by poland. but then we have the big too big you states as such as germany and also another powerful said the netherlands austria. they said no, we're so dependent on russian gas. it will hit our economies a to hard. we not there yet. so this is not likely that that ban on russian gas or

oil is a will, it will come in the coming days or months. but the german government said they will face out rush and gas in the coming years. so there's the plan, but no ban inside that correspond. marina straus reporting from brussels. thank you very much. well for the west, this war is as much about energy supply as it is about humanitarian disasters. climate campaigners have long said, we need to wean ourselves off fossil fuels in favor of renewables as a big part of the message from the fridays for future movement for climate change. it's campaigners are holding protests across the world, including this one right here today in berlin to demand action by taken to stop the climate crisis. while the student led movement is demanding an end to the

war in ukraine, which is being partially funded by european payments for russian gas, coal, and oil. atlanta, mongo is the ukraine climate campaigner and environmental lawyer. she's also the founder of the stand with ukraine campaign. it calls on a band in the trade and investment in russian oil and gas. thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us. you are part of a special delegation. i understand of climate activist meeting with you lawmakers in brussels this week. how are rushes fossil fuels driving this war? how is it connected to what is happening in ukraine today? yet, thank you so much. first of all, for having me here and i am not. i am not a physical of physically present during the process of summit and negotiations and strikes, but i support fridays for future and all other organizations who supported standards

ukraine call to action. a in general is supported by more than 700 organizations from 60 conscious of the wall, and i'm supporting them for on distance. and i'm a spokesperson for stand with ukraine, cow in russia, still still driving the war? can we? i how are russian fossil fuels yet? driving us? we're yes, yes. a war again. ukraine has been found that fat fuel, micheal oil and gas industries. i brought from russia and jose, exactly driving 1st. the full, i would say that's rush was the corman these by overwhelming the overwhelmingly, on the expert oil and guests. and the 40 percent of rational federal budget comes from oil and gas. oil and gas make up to 60 percent of russia's expert. and ross's oil and gas operations are among the war scenes the while for climate. and actually russia has been earning $600000.00 euros per day. even now. since the war in ukraine started every day, it's equivalent football, holiday, thankful, oz,

and military gear. they are destroying all while it always seated and all killing all a civilian cit, villas with. and i have to say that it should be stopped, and we all are holding on e u government's e, u presidency, which is now in france in the president macro and, and we also call them zillow states that are north in a favor to support the immediate holding off an immediate imposing of embargo, russian oil and guests. ah, for all those a european countries, these countries are gemini, and these countries are austria and hungary, the most dependent on russia, on the russian. yes, specifically. and that we already said and a we already have as a climate movement to read so used from germany that they only plan by all of them can become completely independent of russian oil, coal, and the full and germany plants. appraisals russia. yes. by early summer, 2024. i have to say that these,

these timeline is not sufficient with the end in full and in war in ukraine and the we are calling on e governments. and those brought us that is, that have been whole by friday for future. and also equities from central in eastern europe are holding on them governments to put an immediate embargo on the ocean oil. and yes, or we have a representative of interrupting you because i really do need to have a conversation together. okay. so are, are there alternatives are there are viable alternatives renewables that, that can be used right now because, you know, like governments in germany and in other places in the they say, well listen, we're in a bind, we are in the midst of an energy transition. but we don't have any viable a solution for the immediate future is there is there. according to there are many solutions. i and i can i leave them very briefly, a 1st solution isa. divest fonts from, from a fossil fuel industry in general,

and actually take out over the mass, all investments as and by an ex loan and supp, the dies and stay subsidized. and all financial institutions subsidize, a fossil fuel industry. and specifically in russia, i can name a few of those banks. they are it uni credit in those are some follow credential equals to say the general and lloyd's of london. if say, well they buy those funds they, they still keep in fossil fuel industry. it will let us triple the investments in the greenly new renewable energy transition at because the lot over the half renewable energy but them. so in place that it enables us to make a fast and just transition to renewable energy. we just need to triple all investments. it does in fact that it's based on the report on the reports, data it on numbers, and that's absolutely truffle source. so as a 2nd is to uh, agree. and that conclude that

a non proliferation fossil fuel non proliferation treaty, which will be a mechanism which will help off the face, out from fossil fuels immediately and start and fast and just transition to renewable energy and won. it was a good step thought over. it's a feet 455 or within europe and european glendale. but what we need to do to make european grins will work 1st. the full stop and, and all fossil fuel subsidies was in the specific conscious as france and germany. and as, as a conscious to increase our climate goal, an initial reduction goal not might 55 percent a till 2030. it's still late. ah, we need to increase pull 100 percent by a 2031. as the latest report phase facing out, i, oil and the again, stacy, it has been just released a few days ago. we have all those reports. we have argument, but we don't have political action. ukrainian climate campaigner and environmental

lawyers of atlanta, romano. go. let's have this conversation again. unfortunately we ran out of time, but i think you make some very, very salient points. and it's an incredibly important angle to this terrible war. and we need to explore this topic more how fossil fuels and, and climate feature in conflict to come back. thank you so much. well, just hours after agreeing a new energy deal with the u. u. s. president joe biden has traveled to poland near the border with ukraine. president bind is in the city of says off where us troops are based. you'll be briefed on the humanitarian, a response to the refugee in flux, and we'll meet with us service members who serve alongside polish troops on saturday. present final flight to warsaw for talks with polish president andre duda in poland. is it abuse a max xander max, a very symbolic visit?

right. arguable, you could call it that, but the main goal of this trip to europe of president joe, by his trip to europe, was showing up support for nato. this particular 2nd leg of his trip to poland is about as the white house put it, showing support to a vulnerable ally to a frontline country. m. poland has been receiving the lion's share of polio of ukrainian refugees fleeing the country close to formula. people fled, 2000000 people have made their way to poland. school president bonus expects to address all of these issues. he'll be meeting with the u. s. troops on the ground with members of the 2nd airborne division, as you pointed out. and he also be speaking with humanitarian experts, to thank them for what they're doing here, but also to find ways to explore allison, how, how the us can further help assisting pull into with taking in people here the u. s

. has promised to taken ukrainians with family ties to the u. s. and is also pledged money to poland and to other peoples here to other to other countries here in the region. so it's not just about hand shaking and saying thank you, but also there is stuff that can be done in po wednesday, w max and r. thank you so very much on 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 and levine. there's been a pleasant surprise though, provided by one of ukraine's top shafts. he'd have used immunity, visited his kitchen in levine, in western ukraine. if you need a free meal and the vive, 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 me going to be like that about the gravy. that's i'm fees
