1:02 pm
ukraine hopes can betray that for russian captives, but some lawmakers in moscow are calling for them to be put on trial. instead, ukraine says high level talks are now on the way to evacuate an undisclosed number of fighters who remain in the steel mill. there are fears the ukrainian fighters who defended the as of style plant in marty. you, paul could face rough justice from moscow. russian tv show defeated troops being led away from the sprawling steel plant. russia says there will be treated according to international norms, but there have been calls to designate the feared as of regiment, a terrorist organization, or a russian law maker, taking part in peace talks with keith said russia should consider the death penalty for the as of regiment then the st. louis missouri posts that they do not deserve to live after the monstrous crimes against humanity that they have committed and that are committed continuously against our prisoners. or both of us are bloom. ukraine officials remain hopeful,
1:03 pm
their soldiers can be exchanged for russian prisoners of war as national were coming from our side. we can say that the negotiation process is ongoing and that the rescue operation itself is also ongoing. one 0, let us throw out. there has also been some unprecedented criticism of the war from unexpected quarters. sam aguilar enough enough that the main problem with our military and political position is that we are in full geopolitical isolation. and that however much we hate to admit that virtually the entire world is against us. and that's the situation we need to get out of flats in lat that we had them. are you paul victory? marx, a rare win for russia's military in it's 3 months invasion of ukraine, but it could be short lived, finland and sweden have made a joint application to join nato, a further set back to moscow's ambitions to contain the expansion of the block. and we cannot speak to our correspondent furniture in
1:04 pm
a key of funny moscow claims that 959 fighters have now surrendered from the still works. fears are growing for their safety. what are you, but where, where you walk and keith, what are people hoping there for an immediate prisoners for again, you do not even know if that numbers true that nearly 1000 soldiers have surrendered because the number that ukraine operates with is lower. they say nearly 700 soldiers have surrendered. but regardless of how many of course, the question is the same here in ukraine, but it is going to have an immediate prisoner swap. i should people, i wondering whether it is going to be a prisoner swap at all. if to listen to the discourse unfolding the in russia, which was all seen to report. there is one no maker who says these people deserve to die. they deserve to be executed. other say they need to be try that is at a court. so we do not really know what's going to happen to them. but at the same time here ukrainian officials say that lease is wounded soldiers who are in
1:05 pm
critical condition. they should be swapped once they are stable. so it seems like even ukraine on the official level is trying to reduce their hope, even though this is obviously not something they want to tell in public. if that's the case. because you want to make sure that the moral is a and the spirit remains up here and ukraine among the people, but also among the soldiers. while this war is raging on what funny there still sold was left in the still works them. what's going to come to them? that's a really good question. i don't want to be that soldier that would have to think about this. this question, do you want to surrender? and hoover basically between life and death, not knowing whether you are going to be swapped against a russian soldier or do you want to remain inside at steel plant where conditions are really rough. so hoover in between death and life. why staying inside? it's a really difficult decision, not knowing really what is going to happen to you live. as a result, we do not know whether and we do not even know how many people are still inside. whether they are going to surrender or not. however,
1:06 pm
the kremlin claims every one who surrenders is going to be treated according to international law, but that's exactly what people do not want to believe. after all, russia is the aggressor they have attack ukraine. so people really have a hard time, a trusting russia, believing that the people who surrender i going to basically, i get out of the situation in a way that safe for them and even be returned the ukrainian controls territory of only russia says it has now taken full control of mario po, i'm how much of a blow is this for the ukranian war? if it was some ukrainian say, it's actually a blow to a russian forces because a took mood and 80 days that they finally have control of, of the as of saw steel plan as it seems that this is now completely over. what russia says that a, basically, this is a very important step ahead. so they try to increase the moral they are among russia soldiers saying that this is very symbolic. after all, mary pull,
1:07 pm
there was heavy fighting around the seat already 8 years ago in the war. the dumbass region began in 2014. so to them, this is something where they would like to sell a victoria, finally a, in a way, in russia back a show. and because after all, they are salt and keith in the northern part of ukraine, but also in on hockey region, didn't succeed. even though the controls to some parts of harkey, so russia is going to sell this as a win while ukraine is trying to look at this. these are euros to the holding out for quite some time. ok, responded for reporting from p for thank you. funny. now from the russian perspective on this war in ukraine, our exalt moscow correspondent, emily sharon, is not joining me here in berlin. in the studio, emily, russia said nearly a 1000 soldiers have surrendered. what will happen to them while the reports reports yesterday, that they were the soldiers that surrendered yesterday were brought to a prison in the den, danielle peoples republic. that's one of the regions that's been for
1:08 pm
a long time now under the control of russian backed separatist separatists. the speaker of the ministry of defense in russia said that those soldiers who are injured are a feat, receiving treatment at a hospital there. in the long term though, it's unclear because as funny was saying, the kremlin spokesperson has said that the soldiers who do surrender will be treated according to international standards. but this whole surrender has caused a huge discussion in russia. the general prosecutor's office. they are, has asked for the as of battalion who took part in the defense of the as of style a steel plant to be added to a list of terrorist organizations in russia. does the hearing on that decision that is scheduled to take place next week. so they could be declared terrorists next week. and there was an emotional discussion as well in the russian parliament yesterday where one. and while some parliamentarians were suggesting that it could be a made illegal to trade, what they call nazi criminals. that's how they're referring to the as of a fighter is so basically denying what ukraine has been demanding this prisoner
1:09 pm
swap that some of those soldiers could face trial. and one lawmaker even said that russia, russia, russia, should re institute the death penalty in order to execute those soldiers. and it's pretty grim no. this, the ever evacuation of this still works has been broadly covered, as you mentioned, broadly covered on, on russian t, v. and is there a symbolic significance attached to this? absolutely, this is a, has huge symbolic significance, of course, for the course of the war itself. russia can now, i think, almost for the 1st time claim a really big victory. because these people in the us are still as a, as a steel plant. we're the last defenders of the city of mar you poll, which is a port city. now russia has control of the whole of the as of c, as well as of this important strategic port city. and that means that it creates a, essentially, a land bridge all the way from russian controlled territory. and from russia all
1:10 pm
the way to crimea, which was annexed back in 2014, from a, from ukraine. and there's been real glee on state t v. and with pro kremlin bloggers as well, of about the soldiers themselves being captured because, you know, there's this whole narrative within russia that russia has gone into ukraine in the special operation to di, not suffice. ukraine and russia very much sees the as of italian as right wing. so this kind of confirms that propaganda narrative, you mentioned a reporting in russia. on this now, a former senior russian colonel had offered some rare public criticism on russian tv of the military. the military operation, the war in ukraine, and he spoke of the international isolation that russia finds itself in will, will rather get out of that. i mean, it seems unlikely, judging of both from the ration of the international community with this unprecedented sanctions, with russia being kicked out of organizations and conferences,
1:11 pm
international ones. and russia itself is almost leaning into that. yesterday. the foreign ministry in russia said that russia should consider leaving the world trade organization and the word world health organization as well. so, you know, there's this long term narrative within russia that russia is under siege, surrounded by enemies. and it's almost as if the country is kind of preempting at the international community, kicking them out of more organizations and is and wants to leave itself. thank you very much. emily sherman so says in ukraine's 2nd largest city hoc, if a repelled a russian attempt to take the city, they fight as will fall to protect it. are being hailed as he as heroes. but so too are the volunteers who headed out to the front line without arms or training to rescue civilians trapped during the heaviest fighting dw reporter. i'm yes, if visited one volunteer in

1:19 pm
a record high of 149 degrees celsius in the indian capital daily. lat. i'm 74 years old and i've never seen new delhi go through this much heat ever in my life. we used to hear about the heat and much stuff 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 that we may think it makes us doris dear, where else are exposed to more heat, we have to work with cloth wrapped over a head. and if we don't, we'll get a headache. we cannot afford to stop working are gone, 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,
1:20 pm
can cause fatal damage to organs. temperatures will keep rising as long as people continue to burn fossil fuel. 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 increase might not sound like a lot, but the effect it has on extreme is a matter of life and death. but within the studio is d w environment reporter janera ann john, who filed that a report that i did tell us about the key findings of this new report from the world mentor logical organization for last year. the world broke records for, for critical indicate that the health of the planet of the climate. now the weld meteorological organization, recorded levels of greenhouse gas pollution in the atmosphere that it never seen
1:21 pm
before. it saw the oceans have become hotter, they become higher fee levels risen and they become more acidic as well. that all of the things are alarm bells that tell us about the health of the climate in the planet. and show that this trend of worsening, whether extreme is only going to get worse. but what the report also document clearly was that these extremes are already hid the already happening. some of them are attributable to climate change. climate change has made them worse or more likely, and this is already causing more than a $100000000000.00 of damage each year. i mean people in india now experiencing the effects. there are tell us more about the consequences of this kind of heat. for the consequence of the really far reaching you can have day to day life just being made unpleasant and uncomfortable for weeks on end. i mean people are struggling to just do basic catholic. going to school, going to work during the grocery shopping for people have to walk outside or become just so in the report. farmers, builders,
1:22 pm
outdoor laborers. this can really be deadly and many don't have a choice. they have to work, they can afford to stay at home. but the effects really reach well beyond india and pakistan as well as borders occurs. i mean, we're seeing damages to crops and farming that have knock on effect for the entire world. so that will be true, illogical. organization report already outlined by 2021. this compounding crises of climate, covert to conflict, had already undermined decades of progress towards reducing hunger and the world. now on top of that, the war in russia and ukraine that also in india, heat wave that are killing crops. now talking about india, india has been accused by environmental organisation of single handedly torpedoing the 1.5 degree target that you also mentioned in your report with its strong reliance on coal to meet its energy needs. i think it's 3 quarters of the energy
1:23 pm
needs of india's met by, by co will this extreme heat change mines in india, both in the government and maybe also in the population contra feet when the phoenix stream weather events rock countries like germany, australia in particular, which had ter terrible wildfires in recent years, these countries have within some level of size awareness about climate change increase, but it's very hard to attend and fi whether it really changes people's minds about this with the indian case with also perhaps important distress the india. if one of many countries that is pushing the world beyond this 1.5 degree temperature threshold that well lead of promise to try to keep us to. and i mean if we just compare country like germany. so here in germany, you and i burn essentially more coal than the average indian does, because you've got more energy and we still have look at the cap it at that if exact story isn't it? and so when i speak climate scientists in india, i mean one of the reasons he told me that, i mean the key thing the india can do now is come up with good heat management
1:24 pm
plans. but she office dress that there are limits to that level of adaptation that on top of that countries like india and other developing countries or poor countries, need to put pressure on high emitter that are also continuing to invest in fossil fuels and switch to clean the sources of energy. so what can be done to avoid these weather extremes? briefly. so there are 2 main things. cut the pollution and adapt to the effect that and both of these things are doable and they're within reason. and they often have a lot of benefits for society. if we switch to renewable sources of energy, we reduce air pollution, which helps people dying from lung to eat at the same rate. if we adapt to the extremes, i've already become worse than we can also strengthen i t and build the animal sustainable way. so there, click up solutions and find a sub or interest. now, we know what to do. thank you very much. a generic john. our environment reporter. thank you tom for some sports news now and football, germans side, frankfurt, and scottish outfit,
