a cove at 19 block down. north korea has admitted to its 1st corona virus cases of the pandemic, and is now reporting 27 so called fever deaths. some 170000 people are reported experiencing symptoms going into this weekend. ah, i'm really muhammad, walking to the program for a ministers from the group of 7 countries say they will reject russia's attempts to change international borders by force. she said ministers addressed russia's invasion of ukraine at their meeting in northern germany. german foreign minister and alina babbar, also called for an end to russia's blockade of ukraine's ports. accusing moscow of waging a food war on the world by causing millions of tons of grain to go to waste. the g 7 vowed increased pressure on russia through sanctions and cold on china to not

undermine international efforts to isolate moscow. while germany's foreign minister also said the g 7 with support ukraine financially, and monetarily, as long as necessary take listen. we support every measure and every step they are taking to ensure that people in ukraine and this is also our common goal. as g 7 can live as everybody else in europe, again in peace, but also insecurity and freedom in their own country. and we will support ukraine on this pause was whatever it take to ensure that they have freedom and peace in their own country. whether i spoke to the deputies chief international editor, which had walker at the g 7 meeting, and he has more support being promised for ukraine. yep. what the, i think what they were talking about here at the g 7 foreign ministers is the kind

of support the g 7 countries have been providing over the last 2 or 3 months of the war. now obviously a lot of financial support has been humanitarian support increasingly over the last couple of months. and in recent weeks has been increasing military support right up to kind of heavy weapons that we've seen western countries providing. and right here at the g 7 foreign ministers meeting, the used foreign policy chief announced another 500000000 euros of european union money for heavy weapons to go to ukraine. so there's that on the one hand, but also they're talking about trying to provide ukraine with support or with the issue of grain which you just mentioned in the, in the lead up just there. the fact that there are 25000000 tons estimated to be stuck in ukrainian harbor harbors can't get out onto the high seas because russia is blocked blockading those ports. and alina barbara had a pretty strong message on that. so we can take a listen to a clip. millions of tons of grain

are blocked by russia in ukraine's ports in a historic moment of this kind. we as g 7 must ask ourselves the question of whether in this year 2022 we had done enough in order to mitigate the impact and crisis of this war together. this is not our war. this is not a war waged by the international community. this is a war waged by the russian president, but we share a global responsibility and looking forward, they will be talks around sweden and finland, possibly joining nato. what's the latest on that? yeah, that's right, so. so the kind of diplomatic action here in germany is moving down to berlin now. where are the countries that are members of pizza will be gathering for a meeting of the next couple of days in finland and sweden. they will be present at

that meeting too, because those 2 countries now want to join nato as a response to russia's invasion of ukraine to boost their own security. but just at the last minute rich had type out the one the turkish president. on friday. i said that he was skeptical about these 2 countries joining nato that he objected to them as a supposedly harboring terrorists. so i put a question to angelina about the, the german foreign minister just earlier given that germany has strongly supported the accession of these 2 countries to nato. what she made of ad one's comments. so we can take a listen to that clip to in no uncertain terms. it wasn't nato that convinced finland and sweden or pushed finn and sweden to join nato. it was entirely down to the behavior and actions of the russian president because he

has basically force them into this alliance because they wanted to live peacefully with their neighbors. and i very much hope that their accession is approved. so clearly showing signals of hope and optimism for these accession talks to be approved. how likely is that to happen? will to be clear. i mean, turkey does have the ability as a nato ally or to stop or another joy, a country joining nato rules do say that a unanimous agreement by all of the allies is needed for a new alloy to, to join nature. but what is not clear yet, and this is really very fresh, these comments from over at up to add. one is just how serious he is. if he really does want to go to the point of completely blocking a sweden and finland from joining nato. or if he's, he's known as a leader who's kind of transactional in his diplomacy. if he wants something,

if he's out to get some kind of concessions or certainly there, you can expect this weekend of diplomacy as it moves down to berlin to be quite frantic in trying to work out. what are the turks playing at here? or is there something that they want, or is this a very, very serious objection to these 2 countries joining nato. burt, who, however, this turns out you can certainly imagine that vladimir putin will be happy to be seeing this. certainly the expansion of nato is a huge setback for him. somebody who extensively wants to prevent nato from expanding at all. he will certainly be quite pleased. i think, to see this careful over edwin's comment. right, doubly as chief international editor, mr. walker. thank you so much. we'll ukraine's military says russian forces have pulled back from territory around the 2nd largest city. hi keith. it's as russia is trying to guided supply routes and focus the tax on regions further. east presidents vladimir zalinski says more than 1000 settlements have now been de

occupied, but he warned of a long war ahead. these were left behind in the village east of hockey of when the russian army was forced to retreat. ukrainian soldiers have managed to retake several villages on the outskirts of the city, but they remain on high alert and possessive with but belittle to the front lines of the which is not stable. philosophy. molly waller, the village, went from hand to hand to waller. our guys took it back if you can push the russian forces out using artillery, see and kick them out towards the water all the while from their russian forces continue to launch artillery. moving behind the path of destruction. north of hark, eve. recent shelling destroyed this cultural center. while

local residents were receiving humanitarian aid. at least 2 civilians were killed in the attack. meanwhile, in the west of her cave residence have started to return to what is left of their homes. this village has liberated any a few weeks ago. oh, yes sir. allusion of everything over over. everything is destroyed. good barrel look at the road or a little last year. the road was fixed and everything was getting better. yeah. but after the russian troops made darkness. oh, we came to rebuild our house. we need to live somewhere. we can't live in the subway forever. oh. as residence, grappled with a scale of destruction here at least there's hope, but the wall wilson over with it up is mateus ballinger is in cave and he explains how ukrainian forces have pushed russian troops back from

around khaki. if since a 10 days or, or one week approximately the ukrainians have been able to push the russian forces back from the city, the russian forces had entered the territories north of hark. if are quite early in the war and have been standing there, never selling the city from there. pushing them back now. um and, and taking control of several village is there a eases the pressure on the city, the, they, the much of the russian or the city is out of the artillery range of much of the russian positions right now. and there is even, there are even experts who estimate that the russians were soon fully withdraw from their because they're under such a big pressure there. and i was, of course, be a major wind for ukraine. the city has suffered a lot in this war. i'm just talking to some of the other places in the east where i

ukrainian forces all russian forces making progress on either side. well, there are incremental gains for the russians in the don bye, on the don bus from they are putting up more pressure on i see we're at the net which is one of the most important cities there in administrative center for the ukrainian one of 2 administrative centers with the ukranian control territories and anna at at other places of the front. however, these games are not om breakthroughs are. they are incremental gains as things are moving slowly back and forth, and the ukrainians seem to be a withstanding the pressure quite well and holding their line. so for now, there is no decision, but it's heights are intensifying. there's a lot of heavy artillery working on in these places and there are many, many soldiers on both sides that facing each other. so this is really a very tough environment or no decision is there yet in which direction it is going . well,

here's look at some other stories making headlines around the world. israel's police chief has ordered an investigation into offices actions as a palestinian journalist, funeral interviews them. there was international condemnation all to security forces charged at mourners for veteran al jazeera quarter sharing of a claim, who was shot dead while covering and is ready rate in the west bank. check mohammad been zide anahan has been appointed president of the united arab emirates. his appointment had as head of the gulf arab state was why he expected and come to day after the death of his half brother, u. e. is an opec oil producer and key regional power relatives all morning. the death of a building, the victims of the building, fire, and india's capital, the deli, at least 27 people were killed in the place and 12 more were injured. police have arrest the 2 owners of

pandemic toll and at the same time to provide support and help according to north korea's needs. north korean media says the country will learn from china's strict approach to containing the virus. nationwide quarantine measures are now supposed to be in place. but north korea has so far refused to accept an offer of vaccine donations from china. it is also turned on western vaccine supplied via the kovak scheme. and i break could be disastrous for the 26000000 people of north korea. without vaccinations, it citizens are incredibly vulnerable and limited testing means the real size of the outbreak could be far greater than pyongyang has admitted. or his reminder of our top story. german foreign minister adelina bad book has the cheese, russia of waging of food wool as millions of tons of grain go to waste and ukraine
