[000:00:00;00] ah, ah ah, this is dw news lie from berlin. ukraine says it is doing everything possible to evacuate vices still trapped in the steel flaunt invariable, and concerns grow the welfare of ukrainian soldiers who have already surrendered. after some russian will make his se, they should be tried and even executed. also coming up shoreline has economic and political crisis, takes a worrying new turn. the prime minister tells the nation that needs to face what tools,

unpleasant and terrifying facts as fuel supplies and the central medicines run out . and extreme weather, such as the current heat wave in india and pakistan is making life unbearable for millions of people. a new report of the state of the global climate sound, the alarm on the main areas and concern ah i manufacture mckinnon. welcome to the show. uncertainty is growing over the face of more than $260.00 ukranian soldiers who surrendered to russian forces and mary pull. keith hoped to exchange them for russians captured by ukraine. but some lawmakers in moscow have spoken out against a prisoner swap, calling for them to be put on trial instead. meanwhile, ukraine says high level talks are underway to evacuate. an undisclosed number of

fighters still stuck in the steel mill. millennials will look little and the russian defense ministry says these pictures show mario poll fighter. as undergoing inspection before being evacuated, a large convoy of surrendered ukrainian soldiers was escorted from the as off still works by pro russian armed forces. dozens of troops are wound it and have been taken to a hospital in the russian controlled, tying of nova his offs in the far east, some 200 other as were transferred north to all any fca in russian backed separatist territory. several 100 ukrainian soldiers could still be inside the as off steel plant keeps as at once to get them out to live, but that negotiations remained delicate. many ukrainians are skeptical about russia's pledge to treat ukrainian soldiers in line with international norms. during who nothing good will come of it. we don't know how they will be treated.

actually we do know what we've already seen in boucher, a pin on the other towns. in shoes. though most of mario paul now lies in ruins. the ukrainian soldiers defending the city managed to fight against russian forces for much longer than expected what's used to court suits for. so just all these guys basically changed the course of the war and gave ukraine the possibility to prove on the battlefield that we have a strong army lawsuit. ukraine says that their mission at the mario pulse deal plant is complete, and that its defender as philly accomplished. what they set out to do. nevertheless, the cities lost an evacuation of its people as a major, symbolic blow free crane. one that came at a heavy price for both sides. they are. i spoke with frank to lead,

which are regular military analyst. i asked him how the ukrainian soldiers holding out in the as of style still plant contributed to the ukrainian war effort. good morning on this so called russian victories some of the of a pyrrhic victory demonstrates ukrainian strengths, ironically, and russian weaknesses. and let's let the lend sort of sweet more widely. these defenders have created something of a national myth around language is what it effectively was. and what they've done is they focused international attention far wide in the military aspect. to me, let's look, for example, the rather curious incident but very telling us your vision this weekend where a vicious and savage seizure in a steel plant in southern ukraine became internationally cheered as the eurovision song contest. that's the information war in action. and that's where the ukrainians

have succeeded it. this is a tactical defeat for them, but very much a strategic success in the broader in the broader aspect of the war. however, mario poll is essentially in russia hands now. so does this mean a significant shift of balance in the war going forward? not necessarily what from the tactical level that's at the lower level, the probably 6 or 7 now maybe slightly more metallic tactical groups. the russians have focused on that will be released to strike north in his operation. but those, those units will be ravaged. now, the ukrainians announced yesterday that completed building the defenses its operation. they're ready for the next right down there. so in the military sense, no, but it is something of a narrative victory within russia itself. for, for then they can say, well, look, we've taken a city which they have and it's the 1st city they've taken. our former senior retired russian kern all has offered some rare public criticism of russia's military operation in ukraine on state t v. let's take

a quick listen. they'll come right back to you, frank summer. go out in the main deficiency of our military. political position is that in a way, we are in full geopolitical isolation. however much we would hate to admit this one that my, virtually the entire world is against us. and it's that situation that we need to get out of the lab that we eat. and that interview was conducted monday night. it appeared on social media late tuesday. frank, is there any way that russia can get itself out of this position of geopolitical isolation as he described it? when you 1st do like a, you're not that has a ration takes about 5 minutes. really interesting. and you also talked about ukrainian morale, cohesion, all the things we've been talking about. now for weeks, the minimum again is $800.00 and so forth. but to come back to your question, because the sense of all the sensible cause now to take for, for russia, is to declare some kind of victory. look, we've got no voters here, we've taken mile pull. that is our objective is to kill don bass. we're going to

stand on the defensive and we'll leave it up to you credit. what happens next? because that's not what's going to happen. unfortunately, the ball will go on and russia will continue to plead, support is kind of get worse and so forth. so the answer, the question is yes, there is something that can do, they won't do it. and this war will grind on over the summer and possibly beyond peace. those between russia, ukraine has ground to a halt. now both sides blaming the other for the stalled negotiations. you're saying the, well, the war will grind on the lack of communication between the 2 sides. is that likely to make things even more dire? those those piece talks were going nowhere, but what's happening on the battlefield. now, russia is making some gains down there in the southeast. it's not run out of steam yet. it's not culminated. we wouldn't have expected that to happen yet. but what they've done is they've now reduce their objectives now to the severity and ask and

this chance front, they're going to try to round about the town. it's about it. i'm going to hear a lot more about that over the summer. but with respect to the peace talks, i don't think anybody was expecting much of that. we'll hear a lot more, however, of america next salient down, which i would suspect to many others. your credit will hold military analysts. thank you. thanks so much for that. thank you. now, soldiers in ukraine, 2nd largest city, a thief that repelled a russian attempt to take the city, the faces who force it ports to protect it are being hailed as heroes. so 2 of the volunteers who headed to the front line without arms or training to rescue civilians traps in the city during the heaviest facing dw reporter, amen. se visits had one volunteer in a hospital and living. waking up from a nightmare after 2 months of operations, said he,

yvonne shook is recovering from his wounds. after the war broke out, he volunteered to evacuate civilians from the besieged city of har. keith, in his own car, he estimates he took about 70 people to safety or not counting their pets. so a similar to, despite his perennial smile, he was in a constant state of fear. one night his fears came true. what's official room? a bunch of tickets, everything we see on tick tock or in the movies, and it's not like bathroom to real life financial. so it's scary. and you don't know what to do with medical workers around 8 p. m to drive them out of the city. not long after they heard gunfire. little at the level and what is on the pro or when i turned level 2 thumbs up. the driver's side was exposed to him a month across the key and on the dance. when i felt the 1st bullets hit my leg and we are going up on his to be 2nd shot tor of my finger over there. all know,

but i really saw that moment once. i couldn't believe it was real. his loss of gifts in the years that it was like a nightmare thorns among the more of the quality i love. i felt like a bullet in my back. i'll spring like stones. i was starting to gloss jojo, each of our of soup, which on i said, what i think of angels in the box was and the thing we saved my life is that i was ferrying people from a clinic. psyche in victoria clinical, and tori, close the holy my lung, victoria amond yet because if not like a vehicle, i'd have taken a few more brackets when it sir, smiling with her collapse for them. a thoughtful amount would have been wind with 5 bullet wounds in his body said he drove another half a kilometer to the nearest ukrainian checkpoint. soldiers rushed him to the hospital, the richer summit, ticklish of cielo dick is the deal. and it's amazing that no one else in the car was injured short. little john, not at all. along with one man was grave by a bullet night, tore his jeans, but saw that was a fan of us little darling. if not, even the cats were home, would you actually be 30 bullets? had the car fix, obscene should 5,

take me another $25.00. totally miss. no one could believe it nicely scored. even a soldier said, really, what would you survived if tony me for vieira showed that the gill before the war said he was an opera singer in italy. he could have stayed there, but something called him home. what spoke me if not me, then who better. so that's what the volunteers say. if he's got the feel for, if not me them, you know, just little bit proceed on some politicians trying to change things. states as well as i mean these other people who can not be replaced with the people doing vital work. his doctors have told them he can't sing for now within a year they expect him to make a full recovery. extraordinary bravery. finland and sweden have formerly submitted membership beds to join the nato military alliance.

ambassadors to the to nordic nations handed in their applications to nato sex for general young fulton berg and brussels. they will need unanimous approval by nathan members to join and turkey has signaled a physician. now it was russia's invasion of ukraine that convinced sweden to end decades of military non alignment and neutrality. he dudley's terry sholtes reports now from stockholm. ah, every presidential visit is loaded with pomp and circumstance, but this time the circumstances are heavier than usual with war weighing on every one. the finish in swedish leaders making history together as they finalized their bids to join nato. a move long considered unthinkable and stockholm and when the government resisted despite strong public and parliamentary support for it, you also have finland so firmly moving forward. and in that way, sweden has perhaps not pushed ourselves into nature, but we are, you know, pulled in for months. swedish prime minister magdalena anderson warned nato

membership would destabilize the region. now she seems ready to move in to what she calls a new era. it can go in a new day at on matthew, the shaked mother, we can enter it with confidence and bring the best of our history into it. we have long been a strong voice for arms control, piece of freedom and human rights heroes. not every one is convinced sweden can keep that treasured ident inside nato. it's not an organization working for priest at peace. it is sir military alliance. and what a military alliance dos it is. it creates more war. we wanna keep the pieces written, but polls show most swedes do support joining. i think it's that younger generation are more against i think. so. why do you? because they am neither am had war. this

young ukrainian knows war and wishes. her country was in sweden's shoes. i think it's great because sir my country is say in this situation, so we have to protect ourselves without anyone's help. but until now, swedish law would have actually prevented foreign forces from coming to help the country in any situation short of a declaration of war. parliament is voting on a change this week. this open up her ability for us to get support on swedish territory in case of a crisis. pro nato policy analyst, eric brandt berg lives in washington, d. c, and flew to his native sweden just to be here when the momentous decision was made . he says, even if sweden has historically been ambivalent about nato, the alliance is very positive about it. there's already a lot of respect from nato towards sweden, but i think the fact that sweden are joints, gives nato a lot of new capabilities and give suite in the capabilities to no longer risk, an uncertain future alone. ok, let's take

a look now. some of the other stories making headlines around the world through the british government says it wants to scrap parts of the northern ireland for exit protocol. the trade deal agreed with the european union as britain left ago, british foreign minister lives trust that the planned legislation should provide more than island with access to the same benefits as the people of britain. this will be on the north korean leader, kim jong, and has blasted officials a suspected cases of coven 19 continue to serge. more than 1700000 people have displayed symptoms. what pyongyang is calling fever since april the countries antivirus authority says most patients have recovered. the global experts remain deeply concerned or garage in south korea. people have been flocking to a new tourist attraction, the blue house, the presidential palace insole, is been opened to the public for the 1st time since the countries founding in 1948 . fulfilling a pledge by south korea's new president. his offices have now been moved to the

defense ministry. sher lincolns are facing the most difficult months of their lives . that's the grim warning from the nations new prime minister is. it faces its worst economic crisis in over 70 years. shoreline had desperately needs foreign currency to pay for essential medicine ice. renel wick remy singer was appointed last week. he said for lanka is nearly out of petrol. india has promised to send viper shipments of fuel that they have yet to arrive. and those political instability to he economic crisis sparked widespread antique government protest. earlier, i spoke to the w manero chowdhury from sri lanka, biggest city, colombo, and i asked her about the fuel crisis that the prime minister has announced. but yes, you're right, you did, and i was that way even knocked and going to station. but as you can see behind me to my left eye, right, there's a long q. and this is the situation at almost every,

every but in the banking on my be in the morning at this location, i bought by a few patrol station which was shocked because apparently the lack of life. so the situation is pretty bad right now. then it will kill people are blocking the bombs at night and if they're lucky to get some warning that is known as the brightness a have both said that do shipments of these and you don't just move the patrol from the roof. i've been using an indian country line and that's why something for a few days it's not, it's not just the economy, the prime minister has to fix though, is that he's also facing serious political instability. can you tell us more about that? absolutely prime. and if the da space and battle right, not because even before you can probably begin to pull the funding out of the prices. he had the ability to be darrell. now we have been appointed prime minister, but his thought he didn't want to have this one seat in the parliament for he

didn't have any relies on the political body to fall off when you say will interim government. and that's a big that was not the main opposition part. do you think that they can, for some support, they can't support to the prime minister, but they will not join the government unless the executive president, you system the bullet that would give the president of the country with the vote about that i now more than the important to note, you know that for the bad i have still not exactly now while the politicians are trying to fix the politics and the economy, what about the average person, inter lanka? how bad is the situation for the average for line can right now? well, the bad is not even the word they're using like the word they're using is dire or the situation is that bad right? now there is fewer shocking that is food shorter than it's cooking for this people . most of the people, even in the city, will have the ability to put on what installed on what basic anybody voice which is

very harmful for their head as well. there are $6.00 to $8.00 our loan follow across the country and the prime minister had said that the follow, but who would actually go on for 15 hours a day and the few weeks and the prime minister is plus then right address of the nation also said that the, the few months will be the stuff that will delay. all right, we'll have to leave at the w. manero child re reporting from colombo. many thanks. now the last 7 years have been the warmest on record. the sea levels also reached a record high in 2021, that the flooding and china and western europe cause billions of dollars in damage . the u. s. and canada for temperatures rise to unprecedented levels. and these are just some of the findings of a new report by the world, meet your logical organization, and we will have more on bass in a moment. the 1st this look at how extreme heat induced by climate change is

already making life practically unlivable for millions in india. it's a heat wave that one in 6 people on earth, a currently struggling through blistering heat has scorched india. and pakistan for weeks on the weekend temperatures hit a record high of 49 degrees celsius in the indian capital daily where i'm 74 years old. i've never seen new delhi go through this much heat ever in my life. we used to hear about the heat might just on that. we used to think of it as an unfortunate event when rochester used to go to 48 degrees celsius. this year, all the records have been broken record the climate change though, ready, made extremes like this hotter and more likely the heat has killed crops and hurt harvest. the farmers themselves can't catch a break either or we may go next thursday or where else are exposed to more heat,

to have to work with cloth wrapped over head. and if we don't, we'll get a headache. we cannot afford to stop working a gun, but they're like what i am. heat makes people less productive, but staying outside for too long as many workers and even children are forced to do, can cause fatal damage to organs. temperatures will keep rising as long as people continue to burn fossil fuels in a bid to keep whether extremes like this from wrecking communities. world leaders in 2015 promised to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius. this century the average increased might not sound like a lot, but the effect it has on extremes is a matter of life and death. and with us and us, 2 years the environment report, i didn't around and he felt that report as it thanks for joining us. tell us more

about the key findings of this report for last year. the weld break record for critical indicators of the health of the planet. so the world meteorological organization found that it's never documented so much greenhouse gas pollution, the atmosphere is never seen sea level so high. it's never seen. ocean is hot and acidic, but the, the kind of just the alarm, both of one scientist put it to me, but the effects of this with which the roof looked at. also astonishing. so last year they say extreme weather events, some which have been fueled by climate change. we've just seen some of the made more likely difficult hundreds of billions of dollars in economic losses and damages as homes are swept away by wild fires of storms wrecked and higher crystal communities. and so what the trying to say is that within both sides of the picture here, we're seeing indicate of getting worse, the rural climate data. and we're also seeing the effects already that we saw in the, in your report, the effects of the heat wave in india right now, can you tell us more about the consequences of this kind of heat living in this

kind of heat? yes of the day to day life for people i spoke to is over the getting worse. it's more difficult to just do daily task. like imagine us going for a walk or going to the shop to buy groceries or to school to work. but then the consequences really do stretch way beyond even india and pakistan border. so i mean, if you take hunger as an example, the un report that we were talking, i had walked me through a logical organization, but it found that already by last year, this combination of these crises, covert climate conflict. all of that had already got us to a point that as a fate had undermined decade the progress toward giving people enough healthy food . now on top of that, even have russia invading ukraine this year, which is raved fair, that love country that relied on these 2 for exports of we input that we are now going to go hungry. and on top of that, the heat wave has hit crops in india, so by the indian saturday,

partly band exports the wheat into the 2nd biggest producer in the world of china. and so these consequences are really, really global. and if he can, in a nutshell, why is this happening? so in a nutshell, the 2 key things are causing temperatures to rise is binding fossil fuels and chopping down for us farming and certain ways of what we've been doing. the effect of those 2 thing that's released gases that act kind of like a greenhouse around the earth trapping heat in rating temperatures for him to climb into this. right. who's responsible for that? well, we know that rich country, the industrial at 1st have released the bulk of the emissions of letters to this point. but when now starting to get into territory where a country like china has emissions per person that are on par with european emissions. what may be even more difficult to grasp is that there are solutions to this, and there are other companies are actively pushing against the solutions, lobbying to block policies. and that's something that we recently learned in the

latest climate report from the un into government upon climate change, which laid out very clearly opposition from status quote interests. they said if this continuing barrier to actually having stringent climate policy and what can be done to avoid these extremes, there's a lot that can be done and the key thing is to reduce emissions. 3rd, but temperature 3rd, right? so fast and also adapt to what's already happening, the changes that have already been put in place. and so that means i mean, one or climate scientists i spoke to yesterday, who's in india right now? he's got kids whose middle class and is able have air conditioning. and so it's kind of managing through this but not doing well by any means. she was saying, but i mean, ultimately a country like india government has to put in policy to manage the heat. but on top of that, it also needs to pressure these rich historic limits, as i've called the bulk of the problem, to just really cut their emissions quickly. so that mitigating climate change is the best form of adapting to it. ok,

so critical situation that solutions available. exactly. i didn't know and jen d, w, and barton 470 now for decades flying saucers have been fought for tv scripts and conspiracy theories. but some us lawmakers do now want your foes or unidentified flying objects to be taken seriously as a potential threat to national security at a hearing on capitol hill in washington dc. talk to you as defense intelligence officials showed videos of unidentified objects. experts say they performed stunning maneuvers, thought impossible by man made aircraft. a pentagon officials have not confirmed the extra terrestrial visitors, but say they're hoping to remove the stigma and encourage pilots to report any sightings. the truce apparently is still out there. you are up to date, our environment, show eco, india is up next,

looking at turning food waste into animal state. and don't forget, you can always get all your news around the clock on d, w dot com and in the database. it's, that's it for me, for now i'm on your campus mckennon on behalf of the whole news team. thanks so much fortune with

with you. a how to rescue food and solve india is huge, wasted to problem. start at a new deli has the solution. it turns tossed out food into animal feed from 50
