confirmed that the call had been initiated by the germans. earlier all of shots had informed lawmakers of the shuttle conversation in the defense committee meeting. the 2 leaders spoke for 75 minutes. in a tweet, the chancellor said he urged putin to reach a cease fire agreement as quickly as possible. he rejected the criminal claims that nazis ruled ukraine and reminded putin of russia's responsibilities as a major global food supplier. sholtes also called on the kremlin to improve the humanitarian situation on the ground in ukraine. putin agreed that the discussion would be continued through various channels, possibly assign of more phone calls to come. while at a meeting of g 7 foreign ministers in ukraine, in germany, rather ukraine accused russia of preferring wars to talks. attending the summit as a gas ukrainian foreign minister dmitri roku labor called on the gathered representatives of some of the world's largest industrialized economies. the step

of armed supplies to his country for and put more pressure on russia. this is either foreign affair. she's just a barrel. use the meeting to announce him another half a 1000000000 euros in military aid to ukraine. g 7 countries have promised to support ukraine until victory. i as go and talk to did of his political correspondence, have benjamin there are various gruber who is covering the story for so good to see you benjamin on. let's start with this so remarkable. a phone call between germany's chance olive shells and rushes, president of lan report. i'm will this have any impact on discussions that are currently underway at the g 7? indeed, it is a remarkable phone call. after several weeks of silence between the german chancellor re and the kremlin in russia, i don't think it's a coincidence that the talk happened today as the focus of the foreign affairs ministers were meeting here in germany. are talking of course, about a ukraine and the ukrainian foreign minister. we just saw the is it taking apart

also in this conversations? i'm sure there was several phone calls between berlin and where the for a minute says a meeting, but it will be seen if it will have any consequences in, in a statement or afterwards if this will have any consequences. and of course, if we look at these phone calls between leaders between president, in this case, president putin in chandler shoals, of course we have 2 versions, one from the kremlin and one from germany since porton to look at the sources there . so i see several phone calls between both locations, but it will need to be seen if it will actually have any consequences on the g 7 meeting. and i understand that foreign minister a cool labor a who is also after g 7 as a guest urged ministers to put an embargo on a russian oil. is a decision decision rather, expect expected on that today. it's it not for all the countries in europe is it is so easy to talk about an all and borrow because of

course, the dependence from some european countries to russian oil is higher. it's of course on the agenda is the g 7 for a ministers have set that they will support ukraine, which is heard that in just a barrell, the foreign affairs, a commissioner of the you set that have a 1000000000 euros military 8 will also it be sent to ukraine, as stephanie down a table that will need to see if it will be in a press segment that this for a menace is actually a decide to put more pressure on brushes, economy. and i understand the ukraine at foreign minister, mr. co labor are also used the occasion to address the global fruits security crisis said that we're seeing right now across the world that is sparked by this war. and not just sim, german, 4 minister and alina bab, oak also mentioned this crisis, this international, a crisis. babich said the 25000000 tons of grains are stuck in a ukraine and,

and there's a blockade boy, russia. so this export could have also in severe consequences for other countries for afghanistan, for example, for yemen. it, there is of course, this battle of narratives, but the un world food program is also clearly looking at the situation to see what consequences of this will might affect other countries world wide at final and very quicker when benjamin another. as other significant announcements are made of guarding ukraine, what they said is that they will continue supporting ukraine. of course they will talk about weapons. export is, well, a germany has been taking no more active role, not only when it comes to supplying this heavy weapons, but also training ukrainian soldiers on german soil on the system that germany is supplying as the pressure is increasing not only from the position but also from the government parties, it all our shows was attending, attended to day and meeting of the defense committee of the german

a parliament. weather was also some, a pressure from the f t p from the pro business f t p party for him to be quicker with his announcement, and not just promised this weapons for ukraine, but actually delivering them as soon as possible. the w political correspondent, benjamin of ours group reporting. thank you. well, a russian soldier is on trial in ukraine in the 1st war, crimes case since moscow's invasion began. vadim as stones accused of killing an unarmed civilian during the 1st week of the war. 2 other cases are expected to be heard in the coming days. a court room in ukraine's capital cave. this 21 year old stands accused of an atrocity early in the war. vadim s was in ukraine's east when his convoy was hit. he and other russian soldiers then fled in a stolen car, passed a man on a bike, and allegedly shot him in the head, ukrainian forces,

se the defendant admitted to killing the civilian when he was captured. he reportedly said he'd been ordered to stop the 62 year old man from reporting on him and his fellow soldiers. his lawyer spoke to reporters about his client's status. the war of her will know who he does not have any complaints about the conditions. he is being treated according to the requirements of the garden legislation, including international rules which govern such cookies for learning. at least as of today, he will not voice any complete law. the trial comes, as russian troops faced several setbacks with ukrainian forces, putting up a strong counter offensive in the east. this footage from ukraine's military shows how it thwarted an attempt by russian forces to cross a key river. the severe sky donates it was yet another bit by putin's troops to push into the region. britain says russia suffered significant losses in the failed

attack. further south in the black sea, another possible win for ukrainian forces. images from an american satellite company show a group of sunken russian vessels off the coast of snake island. meanwhile, fighters at the mary hugh pulse steel mill vow to never surrender their lives, says one commander come 2nd. so i'm just thinking about, oh, it's late. i seen this before or mostly in stopping. my wrote means nothing. national security. what is values most though the soldiers may be willing to lay down their lives, their families continue to hope for their safe return. and we can take an hour to you granted abuse. amen. as if is in love, if for you were, i mean, um, so we understand now at the, the 1st war crimes trial is under way. can you tell us more?

it's a drop in the bucket layla in terms of the number of crimes. the number of alleged crimes that have been committed by russian troops and ukraine and which ukraine hopes to bring before a court. but it's the 1st draft. so this is very significant, symbolically for ukraine to show that it's upholding some kind of standard of international law. there have also been accusations that ukrainian troops have committed war crimes and ukraine has vowed to investigate those as well. so what ukraine is doing here is showing that despite the fact that its country has been forced into a state of war by an invasion, which is considered a legal and against international law, is going to continue to pursue a legal efforts to bring those who invaded accountable for their actions, especially when it's considered a war crime. and there's evidence that it, it happens later. and i mean, we understand that fighting is still ongoing at the steel planting. marty, you,

paula, what more can you tell us about the latest there? ukrainian military confirmed that russian troops continued to bombard the steel plant throughout last night and into the early morning with artillery. so that's ground fire. and also from aircraft. this is a probably drones which the as of stall fighters are, have the fighters who are defending as a cell plants. that is one of the serious problems for them because they have no way of defending against drones. now, what russia has also done is blocked off the exits and are, are in. it seems that they're hoping to starve the troops out so that the m, as of battalion, eventually surrender is to russian troops, which would be a win for russia. and so far, any kind of prisoner swap has been denied by russia because they said that 1st the prisoners that those as of style defenders would have to surrender to russian troops before they would consider any kind of prisoner swap. and i mean,

in conclusion, what can you tell us about the situation in the dumbass region while the fighting continues there and for every ukrainian, when there seems to be a russian win as well. but at this destruction of the bridge has been celebrated in the area of several done yet because that city is the last large city in don bass to be held by ukrainian troops is almost completely surrounded. but if russian troops had managed across the river, this would have been a disaster for ukrainian troops. and it shows a tactical superiority to ukrainians of their own military over russians that they were able to stop this. and what also happened in that situation is that the allowed russians to cross over this pontoon bridge and then destroyed the bridge so that the russians were stalled on the ukrainian side of the river, at which point they hit them with artillery and also air power. so this is being celebrated as a major win for ukraine, but will you also down here? and ukraine is to many wins that are coming out of the russian side with village

after village and falling to russian troops and where they're showing up the dominance in that region that they had. mostly since 2014 did have used ammunition reporting from live. if you great, thank you very much for your continued coverage. while ever since russia invaded ukraine, there has been widespread fears of cyber attacks. experts are surprised that russia hasn't taken down ukraine's power grid or other critical infrastructure. but ukrainian hackers have been busy mounting their own successful attacks. and unlikely soldier balked on it, vasquez is 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 on filtered by states, censorship. we try to disrupt z, a propaganda machine,

and ah, infiltrate a different systems of russian government. russian structures loses a message to one of your group, permanent abuse 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 link the loo. let's take a look at some of the other stories in the headlines right now. sweden's foreign minister says her country's a session to nato would prevent conflicts in northern europe. on linda was presenting a parliamentary report on security as sweden considers applying to join the alliance in the face of russia's invasion of ukraine. madame ellen mosque says he has put his $44000000000.00 deal to buy twitter temporarily on hold. he tweeted to say he's waiting for data about spam or fake users. the news since shares and the social media platform plunging, walking away from the deal now would cost him $1000000000.00 in contract penalties . in another tweets however, mister musk insisted he still committed to buying the pack form.

tens of thousands of mourners have joined the funeral. procession of veteran al jazeera journalist, sharing at broccoli in jerusalem. before the burial services began, is really security forces charged into the funeral procession. the veteran al jazeera reporter was killed during an israeli army rate on the janine refugee camp in the occupied west bank on wednesday is railey and palestinian authorities have treated accusations over who was to blame these really army said an interim investigation could not determine who fired the fatal bullet, and that is being contested by the palestinian authorities. all right, let's take you now to jerusalem. are jerusalem san antonio kramer is joining us right now. a tiny out, there was a huge and there still is a huge outpouring of grief. why have so many turned out for her

while we saw a very moving our funeral procession here in the old city or she, there was 1st a church service and then she was taking shifts around here outside the old city walls. and then behind me to the cemetery, a very small cemetery here, and it was a huge turn out of people paying the loss respects and the hundreds, if not thousands, are coming to pay their respects to serene blackland. i think that just shows you how well respected as she bos, how well loved also in the community and how well known as she was not just locally, as she was somehow to face via 0 arabic in the region, reporting for over 20 years on this conflict on the impact of the conflict on palestinians him in india in the occupied west bank, but also of course in jerusalem where she was from. so it just shows you that there were a lot of people paying her respects to her on thursday. there wasn't officially or

is service also in ramallah and the presidential palace a residential presidential office there with president mahmoud abbas. and people from the ammonia by westbank could pay their respects than their might. tanya, can you please speak about the troubling images of israeli police charging today? just moments ago, she reads funeral procession and her pallbearers carrying her coffin then losing control of the casket. while it was very disturbing, we were actually there in front of the hospital waiting for the coffin to be taken out and then are being brought to the old city for the church service. there was a lot of tension already. a lot of police presence there when they suddenly charged in and that's when you know the scenes happened, that the polar bears almost dropped the coffin and she was then taken from

there by car, later to the old city music. going to be any accountability. what efforts are currently underway that we know of to apprehend and bring those who killed her to justice? well, there lot of calls, of course for accountability and our, their investigations underway. we heard from the palestinian authority corona that they made an autopsy on wednesday night. that said it's for now inconclusive. to retrieve the bullet as she was shorter in the head. so far we understand as no joint investigation, the palestinians, i say there's not much trust also in an israeli investigation. we also got the initial results from the israeli military earlier on as saying that for the moment it is not possible to stage. the report said to determine the source of the gunfire, which kid, a serene elbow are clear that they are looking into possibilities whether it was

a palestinian gunfire. they say there was crossfire at the moment or where they came from, a firing zone from within the israeli side. that all happened, of course, in rounded. janine refugee camps at the moment that's inconclusive. they say they need the is ready say they need also the a bullet for, for the ballistic test. and of course, there's a lot of pressure internationally also from the usaa ministration. ah, to conduct those investigations thoroughly. and, and transparency tenure creamer reporting brussels. thank you. for many countries around the world, ukraine is an indispensable source of food, but russia's invasion has led to shortages and contributed to skyrocketing food prices. here in germany, the number of people going to food banks has risen dramatically. some are refugees from ukraine,

while others are people who simply no longer can afford the cost of groceries. if you don't talk about on, give me a couple of bananas for the little 10. thank you. they put on grammar. there's still plenty of bananas and bread roll at noon at this berlin food pantry, the temple food bank volunteers are busy, and the food goes quickly. $350.00 households receive food at this pantry each week . and more have been coming since the ukraine wore. the food must be divided up carefully with good, lot longer dick. yet can you have to think about it a bit more area a lot more and also about ukraine or there's less and less food because of the worn ukraine. we get even less food. the telephone organization runs 350 food pantry throughout germany. and someplace is demand for food has doubled and recent months, even people who have jobs and a regular income often can't even afford to pay for basic needs. now it says,

nowadays everything's getting cleared out as food is in short supply, everything is up as much. i am more and more people are registering for the pantry that m god shot up, manages another family playing ukraine has just arrived. aba liam, all for me ad. but we also increasingly have people who live here who have to budget thanks to the inflationary development and food prices, im splitter shawnee club salon and mm hm. we have many retired people here. yeah. we have many families with several children meal them kinda on the system only works if supermarkets donate food. oh, but this is on the decline. food is already in short, supply and is seldom donated to food banks. mail and earlier, matt lauer and cooking oil are illusory. i mean, we can only dream of them yet. we don't get any flower. no, while,

as even choppers are not getting them in the stores right now in laden them all bleed off. sunflower oil, flour and rice are in short supply and germany and prices have shot up. people have been building up their own reserves for linda food pantries are worried about the future. pop music fans are looking forward to the eurovision song contest final this weekend. italy is hosting what has become one of the most popular television events in the world into mars. my intern, one song is a clear favorite o ukrainian for hip hop and colors orchestra is riding a wave of good will at the eurovision song contest this year. while i am the contests, talk prize, their songs tiffany of fuses, traditional ukrainian folk music with hip hop, underscoring the importance of ukrainian culture and tradition. it's
