you have your correspondent, funny for char has been covering this story for us in ukraine and earlier today, i asked her if the nearly 1000 ukrainian soldiers who reportedly surrendered will now be part of a prisoner swap with russia in the future. again, you do not even know is 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 prison us. well, i said people are wondering whether it is going to be a prisoner swap at all. if to listen to the discourse unfolding, the russia, which was all seen to report, there's 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 as wounded soldiers
3:05 pm
who are in critical condition. uh 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 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 a 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, you do not know whether and we do not even know how many people are still inside.
3:06 pm
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 people who saw linda, 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 poll. 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, an 80 days that they finally have control over the hours of star seal plant. 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 russian soldiers saying that this is very symbolic. after all, mary paul,

sim, right, are only home the words of un secretary general antonio good tallish, after he unveiled a new plan to urge countries to switch to renewable energy. he was speaking as the world's mature, a logical organization, published a new report with some black conclusions for the future of the planet. if emissions are not reduced among them more heat waves of the type that's currently hitting india, it's a heat wave that one in 6 people on earth currently struggling through blistering heat has scorched india. and pakistan for week on the weekend temperatures hit a record high of 49 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
3:13 pm
life. we used to hear about the heat and mattress done 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 yet. climate change has already made extremes like this hotter and more likely the heat has killed crops and hurt harvests. the farmers themselves can't catch a break either that every man makes us their steer where else have exposed to more heat, to 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 again, 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
3:14 pm
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 report a janera and john who filed that a report. 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 organisation recorded levels of greenhouse gas pollution in the atmosphere that had never seen before. it saw the oceans had become hotter, they become higher fee levels have risen and they become more acidic as well. now
3:15 pm
all of the things our 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 document clearly with that these extremes are already hid the already happening. some of them are attributable to climate change kind of changes made them worse, will likely. and this is already causing more than $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
3:16 pm
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. 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, the also in india heat wave for the 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 needs of india's met by co. will this extreme heat change mines in india, both the government and maybe also in the population can't feed when the phoenix
3:17 pm
stream weather events rock countries like germany, australia in particular, which are terrible wildfires. in recent years, these countries have within some level of size awareness about climate change increase, but it's very hard to watch and, and fi where that really changes people's minds about this. with the indian capability, perhaps important to stress that india is one of many country that is pushing the world beyond this 1.5 degree temperature threshold. that wild 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 jeremy still have look at it back. have it as a different 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
3:18 pm
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 effects of it. and both of the 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, reduce air pollution, which stops people dying from lung disease at the same rate. if we adapt to the extremes that are already become worse than we can also strengthen society and build it in a more sustainable way. so there click on solutions and find the very insistent. now we know what to do. thank you very much. our generic john environment reporter . thank you. now let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. around a 100, firefighters half contained a fine los angeles close to the iconic griffith observatory. the place spread to cover an area of 6 acres before being brought under control. authority said that

a wooden store on what basically bonnie boy, which is very humble for their head as well. there are 6 to 8 our loan, followed like a cross country and assignment that said that the problem would actually go on the not the name coming the week. and i mean, it's a destination also said that the bombing, your mom will be the, the light did abuse many right child re, their reporting to spain, them where women's suffering from painful periods may soon be entitled to paid time off. a covenant has approved a draft that would allow female workers to claim medical leave during menstruation, if a half approval from a doctor in spain, periods becoming less taboo and may be less painful for women in the workforce. the government has proposed
3:22 pm
a new law allowing workers to take as many days as needed to recover from severe menstrual pain every month. sac, i will it no more going to work in pain, but no, we're taking pills before arriving and having to hide the fact that we're in pain and can't function. all of those women who need it will be able to use paid leave to deal with periods that caused us disabling palmetto, unless i must roughness a condo. let us think about, he done this. under the draft law, the state would pay for the recovery time. not employers, and not workers who sometimes sees up holiday allowances or take unpaid leave to cope. a spanish doctors association estimates that extreme period pain affects around a 3rd of women campaigns. hope this spell will be the 1st step for workers suffering from under research conditions like endometriosis not get a more st gay. we don't want it to just be 2 or 3 or 5 is a hobby, ethan,
3:23 pm
and then you go back to work as if nothing ever happened. what we're asking for is for this to be a 1st step towards investigate research and finding a cure. so the period paid really stops being such a problem for many women. but occasionally i remember in the lower than the ladder, they said in berlin, available could if spain passes, the baylor would join a handful of mostly asian countries that already offer a menstrual leave law. and it would be a european 1st. but the draft floor is controversial, not all tried, unions supported and some believe it won't help women in the workplace. i mean it, but as it was, this is seriously damaging for women when you consider the opportunities they could have helped us before that. but i think some people will take manser leap without being in terrible pain. so this law will really need to be better policed or levant or something like that over the last contract. spanish lawmakers still have to vote
