. the wars are extreme weather in india is making life unbearable for millions of people in a report on the state of the global climate tells us once more that things will get worse for everyone. if man made c o 2 emissions are not reduced, added sport, football fans, tune up for europe spinal countdown, tens of thousands of glasgow ranges, an entre frankfurt sports, having a party and civic ah, i'm glad alphas welcome to the program. russia says nearly a 1000 ukrainian fighters have surrendered in the hours of staff still works in the city of mario, paul. since the start of this week, hundreds have already been taken to territory controlled by moscow's forces. ukraine. the hopes that can be traded for russian captives,

but some lawmakers in moscow are calling for them to be put on trial. instead, ukraine says high level talks on the way to evacuated undisclosed number of fighters who still remain in the still plot. there are fears the ukrainian fighter is 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, sports 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 . upwards of lesser bloom ukraine officials remain hopeful, their soldiers can be exchanged for russian prisoners of war. as national welcome

from our side. we can say that the negotiation process is ongoing. and that the rescue operation itself is also ongoing. or let us through. 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. let me see. 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 wind for russia's military in its 3 month 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. to w's east in europe. correspondent funny fungi is in ukraine. she has been covering

this story for us. earlier, i asked her if the nearly thousands ukrainian soldiers, who reportedly surrendered will be part of a prisoner's walk with russia in the future. 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 said people are 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, others 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 at least was wounded soldiers who are in 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 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 varying between death and life. why staying inside it's a really difficult decision, not knowing really what is going to happen to your life. as a result, you do not know whether and we do not even know how many people are still inside. whether they're going to surrender or not. however, 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 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, paul, 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 it took mood an 80 days that they finally have control over the us of star seal plan. as it seems that this is not completely over. what russia says that a basically this is a very important step i had to, they try to increase the moral they are among russia soldiers saying that this is very symbolic. after all, mary paul, there was heavy fighting around the city already 8 years ago, and the wounded on bus region began in 2014. so to them. this is something where

they would like to sell a victory. 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 on hockey region, didn't succeed, even though they 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 heroes to holding out for quite some time. ok, responded funny. such, i reported from p. fair. thank you. funny. so it is in ukraine's a large, the 2nd largest city. hark, if have repelled a russian attempt to take that city. the fighters who fought to protect are protected are being held as heroes. but so to the volunteers who headed to the front line without arms or training to rescue those civilians trapped during the heaviest fighting. there dw reporter, i'm in a safe, visited one volunteer in

a hospital in the western city of live. if waking up from a nightmare after 2 months of operations said he, yvonne shook is recovering from his wounds. after the war broke out and 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 unless him gentle, despite his perennial smile, he was in a constant state of fear one night his fears came true. what's after? told him a bunch of tickets, everything we see on tick tock or in the movies, and it's not like bathroom to be life. financial was a bit 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 within the leave or not on the prowler. when i turned left out her thumb from the driver's

side was exposed to a moment consechi and on the dance. when i felt the 1st bullets hit my leg only all opponents with clickable b 2nd shot tore of my finger. hello, hello, hello for butter. i really saw that moment. well, i couldn't believe it was real. has lots of gifts in the years that it was like a nightmare thorns among the more of the corey. i love, i felt like a bullet in my back. i'll spring like stones. i was starting to build a theory of each of our of soup, which on i said why i think of angels in the back. and the thing we saved my life is that i was ferrying people from a clinic. psyche in victoria clinical. and victoria, close to the holy my lung victoria menu, because if not like a ducal, i'd have taken a few more breakfasts when it sir, smiling with her collapse for them. a thoughtful and that 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 rich a summer, ticklish of cielo dekessa durham. 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 regarding it. not even the cats were hers. what you'll actually be 30 bullets hit the car is after you should 5 take me another 25 totally miss. no one could believe it nicely scored. even the soldier said really what of which you survived? if tony me for viola, sure that the killable before the war said he was an opera singer in italy, he could have stayed there. but something called him home. what story uglier, if not me, then who read of sure. that's what the volunteers say. if he's got the stuff, but if not me them houses that are good, prosy on some politicians trying to change the state as well as i mean, these are the people who can not be replaced. val, like 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. his effect of now it to some other news related to the war in

ukraine. a 21 year old russian soldier standing trial for war crimes. and keith has play pleaded guilty. it is the 1st case of its kind to go to court. since the start of the russian invasion, the prosecutor general said it would send a clear message that those who commit war crimes will not escape responsibility. the international criminal court ascending a team of forensic experts and investigators to ukraine to probe possible crimes against humanity. international community has accused russia of committing war crimes in ukraine, including murdering civilians. army reservists and soldiers in estonia are taking part and military drills along with us forces. it exercises are taking place, mid height and tensions in the baltics. after rushes invasion of ukraine filling in for a minister said nato is beefing up its presence in the region. time is running out

. we will in summarize, our only home the words of un secretary general antonio terrace. after he unveiled a new plan to urge countries to switch to renewable energy, he was speaking at as the world mitchell logical organization published a new report with some blue conclusions for the future of the planet. if emissions are not reduced, among them more heat waves of the type that is currently hitting 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 temperature hit her record high of 49 degrees celsius in the indian capital delhi, where 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,

much stuff that we used to think of it as an unfortunate event when rochester used to go through 48 degrees celsius. this year, all the records have been broken record. the climate change has already 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 or gone, but they're like what again. and 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 fuel. in

a bit 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 extremes is a matter of life and death. but within the studio is d w, environment reporter, engineer, and 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 well meteorological organization recorded levels of greenhouse gas pollution in the atmosphere that it never seen before. it saw the oceans have become hotter, they become higher fuel levels have risen, and they become more acidic as well. now all of the things are alarm bells that

tell us about the health of the climate and the planet and showed that this trend of worsening weather extreme is only going to get worse. but what the report also documented clearly was that these extremes are already hid the already happening. some of them are attributable to climate change time changes 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, 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. because, i mean we're seeing damages to crops and farming that have knock on effect for the

entire world. so that will be to a logical 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, this also in india, heat wave that a killing crops. now i'm 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 needs of india's met by, by co will this extreme heat change mines in india, both 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 to re terrible wildfires in recent years, these countries have within some level of size awareness about climate change increase, but it's very hard to get and, and fi whether it really changes people's minds about this. with the indian capability, perhaps important to stress 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 got more energy and jeremy still look at it, the capital a 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 plans. but she also stress 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 to their 2 main things. cut the pollution and adapt to the effect. 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 stops people dying from lag of eve at the same rate. if we adapt to the extremes that were already become worse, then we can also strength society and build it in a more sustainable way. so there, click up solutions and find this very insistent. now we know what to do. thank you very much. a generic john environment reporter. thank you. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world around a 100 firefighters have now contained a fine los angeles close to the iconic griffith observatory. the blaze spread to cover an area of 6 acres before being brought under control. authorities set that a suspected arsonist been detained,

joys deeply concerned at the risk or further spread. of course, 19 in the country, particularly because the population is unbox. united not korea has one of the woods was health care systems. it's hospitals are believed to be poorly equipped with few intensive gay units. and it's one of the only 2 un member states that has not rolled out much vaccination against gov at 19, but an uncontrolled outbreak could have consequences beyond not korea global head. i think her to, we chose as has repeatedly said that where you have unchecked transmission, there's always a higher risk over new variance emerging. and part of that strategy suppressing infection of activity is yes to save lives in terms over reducing hospitalization. and that's but also to keep pressure on the virus. so we don't see the same race of evolution of the virus around the world. all young has not responded to offers of

international aid and assistance outside observers. believe that not korea's outbreak is almost certainly greater than what it is, reporting up and doing nothing in response could have far reaching consequences. sri lankan are facing the most difficult months of their lives. that's the grim warning from the nations new prime minister. as the country faces it's worse, economic crisis in more than 70 years shall anchor desperately needs foreign currency to pay for essential medicine ice. ronelle will grow missing who was appointed last week, has fed free lunches nearly running out of petrol. india has promised to send vital shipments of fuel, but they have yet to arrive. and those political instability to the economic crisis has sparked widespread anti government protest who w as many ra chandry is introlatta as biggest city colombo, she's summed up how difficult the situation is right now. for the average sri lankan citizen. so bad is not even the word they're using,
