[000:00:00;00] ah this is d, w use lie for then b, e, you one ounce is another half a 1000000000 euros to buy weapons, but ukraine that announcement comes just as top diplomats from the g 7. gather the talks in northern germany, discussing price spikes and shortages, triggered by russia invasion. great. russia and ukraine fight for control over the east and don bass region and talks drag over a possible prisoner swap. the could see the release of wounded ukrainian troops

from the ass off scotts steel plant. and now the front of the war is online, where ukrainian hack is trying to disrupt russian communications. and north korea reports its 1st coven 19 death. se tv says hundreds of thousands more north koreans are showing symptoms. experts say it's unlikely. the isolated regime is equipped to manage the explosive outbreak. ah, i've been physical and woke up. the e. u has pledged another half a 1000000000 euros to ukraine for weapons purchases. you foreign affairs chief, joseph burrell made that announcement as a group of 7 summit kicks off in northern germany. foreign ministers of the group will discuss russia's war in ukraine as well as food shortages that stem from the conflict. the g 7 is made up of some of the world's largest economies, is at the end of the meeting is to send

a powerful sign of unity in their support of ukraine. lad of the meeting german foreign minister, adelina bare balk, found the g 7 would defy russian attempts to split the world over ukraine in a tweet she wrote that never since the end of the cold war have we g 7 partners been more profoundly challenged never before have we stood more united a chief international correspondent, richard walker is at the g 7 meeting advice in the house in northern germany. richard big challenges there had tell us more. yeah, that's right. been well, of course all of this talk of unity from the g 7. also this announcement of more european union of funding for ukrainian weapons. and if you do think about whether g 7 was just a couple of years ago when donald trump was still president, there were real gaps, real kind of caverns opening up in the western alliance. those do appear to be very

much close on the issue of ukraine. and also, you know, discussions about weapons provisions to ukraine even just a couple of months ago that was highly controversial. this is now becoming increasingly path with the course, but middle east is talk of unity. we shouldn't exaggerate it. there are kind of a pockets of tensions around the edges. picky between, for example, the united kingdom and the european union facing a potential show down over britain's breaks it, leaving the european union. the deal that it did with the over northern ireland, the u. k. threatening to bail out on that completely. so tensions around the edges there and also within the european union. the fact that hungary is blocking efforts to impose a ban on russian oil imports also a chink, in the sense of unity in the western lines. and while these are tensions bubble are the rest of the world, parts of the rest of the world running out of food,

what's being talked about as far as food security? yet definitely been a big issue here. and alina babbled, the german foreign minister saying that some 25000000 tons of grain, a stock in ukraine, that should be getting out to world markets. that should be getting out to countries. whether it's yemen, whether it's suit on afghanistan, that are facing huge food security problems. the well food program itself warning that millions of people could potentially faced our vacation if that food doesn't get out of ukrainian. put the problem being that the russians are blockading hort's like odessa, which would be the, the route out of there. so the world through program and the g 7 calling on vladimir putin to lift this blockade of ukrainian ports. but they're also going to be looking at alternative routes for that grain to get out of ukraine, a by rail, by road, and up to ports on the baltic sea, for instance, in poland or down to romania. and but huge potential logistical problems with that . a lot of headaches in how to get that actually working. oh richard,

are you optimistic about some sort of progress being made on that front? well, we'll have to see ben, what kind of progress they do make, but what is also going to be interesting to see is what dimitry could labor, who is the foreign minister of ukraine. he's here in northern germany for these talks. we're going to be hearing from him later this morning and we'll be closely watching what he says. of course, ukraine has very much got his i now on is desire to join the european union. it's pushing for the you to granted official candidate status. there are concerns in ukraine, the country such as france trying to back paddle on that we'll be watching very closely what his message is. of course not the you here, but to the g 7 member states, which also include the you as part of the g 7 grouping. what kind of a message he has on that ritual, or the g 7 meeting in bison house? thank you. all analysts from britain is defense ministry say that ukraine's

forces afforded a rush in advance, and the don bass region. russian troops are facing several setbacks as ukrainian forces put up a strong counter offensive east cities there. under heavy bombardment with russia fighting for control. ukraine's military says most ami a stormy 2 villages near the city of franklin, which is our regular military analyst. he told us how ukrainian forces are holding back russian troops from crossing a strategic river in the east. this isn't a place called bella horace, which is just west of the time we were talking about yesterday said arrow don't ask which the russians are trying to circle. what happened there was that some rather clever ukrainian engineers spoke to it as it was their job. combat engine is spotted a particular place where they thought the russians would cross the river. the russians did try to do so. ukrainians have pre registered, it's called the artillery fire and the russian forces us across the river were

destroyed in doing so about just under a battalion. groups worth of material was attacked and destroy the several 100 casualties. we don't know quite how many, but of course and they tried that was on maybe 8. they tried again, parenting to try to get roughly the same place. we don't know what happened and they still try to cross that river. it's significant that they would stop, but the push continues to try and circle surveyors, and that's a key fortified city in the bus and fighting is still ongoing at the as they'll style steel plant. how long can sold? is there hold up. yes. very interesting question. the russians plan the victory parade as we talk, we spoke before may, the 9th, which obviously did happen for obvious reasons. equally obvious reasons. and the fight goes on. the answer the question depends, i suppose on the will of the defenders which is assisted by the assumption that many of them, the members of the so called as of regiment will be killed if they,

if they surrender. the other made a 36 marine brigade very early in the ukraine. our forces are also that if they have food, they have water, have ammunition, they can hold on indefinitely. what the russians are doing now, it's report it's trying to block the tunnels. and so the whole 11 square kilometer complex is underpinned by tunnel system. the russians to try to find those block them off. now i suspect them not do that for a long time. this can hold out for a long, long time for weeks to come and it has already provided food. water ammunition is available and we'll be following this. how do you see this war in general now just progressing with more russian ground offensives expected in the coming days? yes indeed, they are going to continue to try and circle up town is better than that, which i think we're going to hear a lot more about their tax slightly further west place. time in or out of high school is your have failed and sort of focusing on this. so better than that,

now the client's been waiting for the reception for 8 years, and then the russian said the other day, that's a 4 to 5 town and expect the hard fight and they will get one, not like the one they got it all. i suspect, although that it's a very good, it's the credit be better prepared, but i think in the medium term, grinding now towards a stalemate, rush, rush and the tax will start to fade out there. start to culminate as we said, but we're looking at it unless the west can keep feeding the twenty's with more of better equipment to change our calculus. the credit is or stop the advance is. it's about an exquisite circle. the breakout will be able to do so like the day before, half, if to me and other places heading towards a stalemate. war in ukraine, that inside from frank language, ledgers in strategy and or at the university of portsmouth. thank you. thank you. areas know the new crane way, a russian troops are retreating, face a massive and dangerous clean up. your training insecurity. teams are trying to

remove rockets, musicians, and mines as detail use fungi reports a broken leg, an injured spine. well, i mean about how you barely survived a land mine explosion, but you see you need time. much needed comfort from his wife, while at m here was an assignment, restoring electricity in the key fridge and when it happened, just when we host, when we were driving in the car with my colleagues, there were 3 of us, the driver image, myself, and my boss so are going to, we were talking about our plans for the next day and then sir, i don't remember anything from them from avvo. that's when the car drove overland mine value only survived because he was in the middle seat. he's colleague sitting next to him. died demining teams like this one work against o'clock here in the

churn have region. sometimes they're able to remove about 40 explosives per day. it's not nearly enough. it's like a pretty my, it's a 3 months of work is huge and now because the grass is growing and everything is blossoming, it makes it impossible to work faster than it was harder. for instance, to see booby trying washer rydner, rusty oscar booby traps our band via international law. the teams task today. the controlled explosion of this hurricane rocket full of cluster munitions, indiscriminate weapons that can cause many fatalities before the war. people came here to walk. now, even that has become risky after the withdrawal of russian forces, as you can see, they have left behind a lot of land mines, unexploded munitions like this one. and now they pose a threat to farmers who need to work on the land,

but also to other civilians who simply accidentally happen to step on one of these here in the forest or in their backyard. it will likely take yours to the mine ukraine. as the war ages on me, how yellow explains velocity sticky. one month of war equals one year of d, mining over the civilians get blown up by these tramps was those who have nothing to do with any of this. and never wanted to be part of this war in the 1st place in the fulton brother park. one of them had physical injury, so he'll say, but he must go with a mental impact to go with the bouquets. what can i say when you speak to a person who's and a minute or 2 later, you understand that this person is not alive anymore? this is very heart difficult, but someone needs to know the job. one mother comes with 2 of these by the hidden danger of mine and other explosives. he wants to continue this

dangerous job and bring electricity back to the people. let's bring in family down a fairly besides living in a was are how are ukrainians dealing with is constant fear of stepping on a land mine then it's incredible. this level of resilience, this level of bravery that people display ever since the beginning of this war. in fact, i'll still remember when there was this assault on keep on february 24th. and people were arming themselves. people who actually do not even know how to hold a gun. and now it's quite the same people who are going back returning to these places from where russian forces have been drawn. and if facing the risk that there could be a booby trap in the rubble of what's left of their homes, it could be, in fact, attached to a dead body. it could be on their porch in a backyard. nonetheless. they faced this race because they say they need to return, otherwise they will give the sign. i'll send this message to russia that they have given up their homeland. and this is exactly what they do not want to give this a feeling of defeat. no,

they do return any many ways. i have also people told us farmers specifically they do not have an alternative. they need to work on their land to feed their families back. this is the season is almost over where the father is a need to a plan, see something that they would like to harvest the september. not knowing, of course, what you crane is going to look like. then the overall picture though is people are fed up. they say that this is a very dirty war, they do not want to want to be part of it. and it's a very ruthless war because all these traps that could be a different kind of explosives are things that they need to encounter. sometimes, even though, as i say, do not want to be part of this war in 1st place and funny with a possible stalemate on its way and piece talk, stalling what hopes to ukrainians have right now. they do hope that all the weaponry, all those all deliveries from the west. we continue to arrive in ukraine and

basically put the pressure on russia to make sure that they swore and they want this war to and very soon also given the fact, in fact is today, the finance minister told a sad that about $8000000000.00 you as dollars have been spent already here in ukraine because of this ongoing war money, obviously much needed money. it could have been spent on development of ukraine and so many people have been uprooted from their home. so people really hope that this is going to be over and that the ukrainian forces are actually gaining momentum. now, as we have seen in the hockey region to be quite successful, repelling a russian forces while just across the board. in the dumbass region, there is such a fierce fighting, not knowing actually, is the tide turning rather in the interest of the cranium forces. or rather actually, the russian forces i going to advance and make more headway. given the speak show, which is quite sketchy, not knowing how this war is going to develop, as it's heading into a different face, likely around the hockey and the dom bus regions be by just hoping, however,

that the pressure can be put on russia. why the weapon delivery and that there's an end to all of this very soon. plenty for china, putting from the ukranian capital ukraine and its allies of fighting russia on another front. ever since the invasion. they've been widespread fees of cyber attacks. experts surprised that russia hasn't taken down ukraine's power grid or other critical infrastructure. but ukrainian hackers have mounted their own successful counter cyber attacks. sent, unlikely soldier balked on vascos as a software developer. and now part of ukraine's i t army striking russian targets in cyberspace. he helps hack official websites when of thousands of ukrainians who aim to show russians. what is really happening in ukraine, unfiltered by states, censorship. we try to disrupt as a propaganda machine and ah, infiltrate

a different systems of russian government russian structures. this is a message to what we were approved for with all of us. ukraine cyber warriors have been joined by the international hacking collective anonymous. it says it is not against russia's people or even its soldiers, but against president putin and his apparatus. and it wants to keep russia's own cyber x, or it's busy. so they can't attack ukraine for the west. russia has a long history of alleged cyber attacks on ukraine and other countries. it's believe to have hacked into ukraine's presidential elections and taken out parts of its power grid, as well as trying to destroy internet connectivity. but russia has always maintained its innocence, claiming that criminal groups, not the government were responsible. now with people like boston and ukraine's hacker army against it,

russia finds itself on the receiving end of these attacks with more likely to follow. you can download out chief technology correspondent is yoshika. and as i remember sitting here in the very 1st days of the war reporting on this invasion unfolding and information wall breaking out at the very same time. and also this prospect of the massive cyber event. what happened to that? it's true. and i mean, in the early days of the war, like many experts born that there would be a massive attack that could be a massive attack on you. digital infrastructure, the can also spill over effect all around the world. now, you know, this kind of cyber apocalypse has not materialized, but what we have seen is something else that's unprecedented. and that's the right is the emergence of a new form of cyber guerrilla warfare. if you will. we have hacked of us around the world. hackers around the world who have become involved and what's new is also the, the ukrainian government itself encourages people to do. so. tell me a bit more about the circle guerrillas, who are they and,

and why did they even get involved in this? yeah, that's what we wanted to find out. so we had track down, some of them talked to some of them and there's no easy answer. so i mean, they have different motives. they use different cyber weapons. they have different kind of expertise in hacking. but m, you know, when it comes to the sort of pro ukrainian side, our reporting suggest that there are 3 groups. there are cybersecurity, experts often in ukraine than their activists around the world anonymous. the collective maybe most prominently. and then there are wallen tears who have little or no experience in hacking. i talk, for example, to a man in denmark, you know, the i t guy in his mid forties, who said like, he's never even broken the law for this or you know, or done anything with hacking. but now he spent several hours every day attacking russian websites and trying to bring them down. and you know, these kind of attacks that they're running, they're not sophisticated cyber operations, they're more like online vandalism,

but they do have an impact as well. tell us more about the other actors involved. i mean, of course, there are criminals in their ransomware groups that usually use hacking to make money. and then of course, there are state actors, there are intelligent services and their partners. and the truth there is that their work mostly remains in the dark. so you know, the part of part of their work it's hacked of it's true like to talk about what they achieve. if they, you know, bring down a site or something. secret service don't do that because it could compromise their activities. but many experts are convinced that there is quite a bit happening in the dark. so the cyber operations we're seeing might only be the tip of the iceberg. just one more thing we, we've talked a lot about in compared a lot the russian forces to the ukrainian forces. what about the online war? how well equipped would you say the ukrainians are? well,

that's very difficult to say because the ukrainians has become sort of like the pro route ukrainian side is spread all around the world now. and there are various different sort of like levels of expertise. what we know is that the ukranian government and the ukraine site has supports by international tech companies. and they also have the support by other countries, and that, of course helps them. and you know, another thing that we have to keep in mind, ukraine has a lot of experience with thwarting cyber attacks instead. okay, thank you very much for coming in today. very exciting an interesting stuff. thank you. let's look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world, veterinary lank and politicians, hanover cream, a thinker has been sworn in as prime minister after the previous pm was forced to resign this week. for lincoln's facing survey shortages of food medicine, a fuel which they blame on the government. calling for the resignation of the president, now, one person is dead and a dozen wounded in a roadside bombing in pakistan, southern or karachi explosion targeted

a band carrying security forces. no group has claimed responsibility. a wildfire has destroyed a wealthy neighbourhood in southern california. people were evacuated as the blaze destroyed homes of land. a local official says climate change is made even small, far more dangerous region is experiencing a long drought. u. s. coast guard says, 11 people died when a boat carrying haitian migrants capsized off the coast of puerto rico. with 31 people were rescued, but it is not clear how many passengers were on board violence and poverty has pushed many to risk their lives undertaking dangerous voyages. to flee a north korea has reported its 1st death from coven 19. that use comes a day after the country acknowledged an outbreak of the virus for the 1st time in this worldwide crisis. ordering a lockdown said media says 6 people have died from

a fast spreading fever. it's going from one of them had tested positive for the grow to buyers on the car. very north korea has also released a photo of the to kim jong on at the country's emergency epidemic prevention headquarters. rio previously claim to have had 0 infections during the pandemic. it's refused international help with vaccinations and had lunch. we kept close until now. just smith is a corresponded in south korea. i asked him if cove it is now taking its toll in north korea, 2 and a half years into this crisis. that's right. it is quite a startling admission by the government there. they're long been suspicions that there, that it was unlikely that korea would entirely escape this global pandemic. and now we have the 1st official confirmation from the government that there are in the cases there. as you mentioned though, even the death numbers that they've released so far do show the amount of confusion

over exactly what's going on there. this kind of unknown deeper that they say has impacted at least 350000 people so far just in recent weeks. but they haven't released total cobit case numbers and experts we talked to said that that shows perhaps a weakness in their capabilities and able to test the sheer number of people with symptoms there right now. and so i think going forward is going to continue to be questions over not only the numbers, but also their capability and being able to help people and prevent widespread depths just just how bad do you think this outbreak get considering such a poor health care system no vaccines and sanctions on top of that. so north korea has a relatively high number of educated doctors and staff in a health care system that given its authoritarian nature of the government can be

very quickly mobilized and deployed around the country. however, they have chronic shortages of supplies on medicines, equipment, all of that on which is why experts say that it's so critical that they do open their doors to some aid. now in recent months, there has been a trickle of aid of you understand this coming from some international organizations there are going through that very tight border lockdown that you mentioned before. however, there's been no sign of vaccine so which have been key to keeping at least the death rate lower around the world and are seen as key to allowing a north korea to eventually open up and protect it's already battered economy. do you think north korea will eventually have to open up an effect open itself to outside scrutiny? there are some observers who looked at this kind of a rather unprecedented state media coverage of this 1st outbreak as

a possible sign that north korea is moving towards that they're getting ready to potentially accept some of this aid. and they've already opened their border slightly relative to what they had before. again in an impairment apparent acknowledgment that they do need to ease some of the controls that they have had there. and so there is an optimistic view that hopefully they are now with the scale of this spread, i'm going to open up to some of that aid that will allow them to live with coded as the rest of the world news channels. josh smith in sole south korea. thank you very much. and is a reminder of the top story way following for the e. u. announce is another half a 1000000000 euros to buy weapons, but ukraine at announcement comes as top diplomats from the g 7 gather for talks in northern germany. the discussing price spikes and shortages triggered by russians. invasion of you watching t
