ah ah ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin. nato's expansion plans in jeopardy turkey blocks talks on finland and sweden joining the western military alliance. as nato ambassadors failed to reach agreement over the process. also on the program. moscow says nearly a 1000 ukrainian fighters of surrender to russian forces in mario on what happens to them next isn't clear. the united nations issues,

it's latest stock warning over climate change. scientists say key indicators of global warming have hit new records, and that time is running out. in the north korea sent in the army to deal with an outbreak of coven, 19 among unvaccinated population, with a health care system that lacks testing equipment. ah, i'm fill gail. welcome to the program, finland and sweden have not formally submitted their request to join nato. new members need unanimous agreement from all 30 current members and turkey. a said no turkish president reggie type heard of on accuses finland and sweden of harboring kurdish terrorists and refusing to hand them over for cycle. what on the switch did answer recently we asked for 30 terrorists that are living in sweden. they said

they would not extradite them, says that it is that it is a veteran jackson. they will not give us terrorists not to, but they ask us for support to join nato lake or the she will do. nation is a secure she formation like a security organisation. dotson is so we cannot say yes to deprive in a security organization of security yet as get more than date of the correspondent dorian jones in istanbul. welcome dorian. so what this president ado on want? well i think he wants sir sweden and finland to recognize what he calls the terror security threats or his country is facing. top of the list says he wants the lifting of an armed embargo that was imposed by sweden and finland after turkey carried up military operations. he to syrian kurdish group in 2019 junk reclaimed is linked to kurdish militants. the p k. k fighting the turkey state that isn't

been expected be a pot to programmatic demand. far more difficult, it is call for the extradition of at least 30 individuals are which unquote claims are terrorists linked to the p, k, k. and number, those individuals are not linked to any violent crimes or narceena, sir. are people that are seeking political asylum and that is extremely difficult for them to be extradited and will be a matter for the courts as well. but beyond that, our anchor, i also has a growing lists of demands, ah, and is looking probably to washington to, to give concessions to lifting over of our, our sanctions or turn washing to impose military sale sanctions over air. or turkey's close ties to president putin in the purchase of russia, missiles it wants that lifted it wants to be able to buy or miss our fighter jets. and that as this crisis a continues to deepened, unc was less, continues to grow, our am, no one quite knows how many things unk was looking for, but they believe they're in a very strong position. right. and, and is

a presumption that this is just a negotiating tactic that will end in with some sort of deal. well, i think that is the expectation at the moment. there is his belief that he's in his strong position, but at the same time, according to turkish official speaking behind the scenes, they still won't negotiations. although, having said the president, earth, one stands doesn't seem to be continuing to harden. and i think that this is in the indication that one does see this as in many ways and a store called oppertunity to extract major concessions from all of its west some partners. this is a feeling that there has been, it's ongoing, double standards or turkey. security concerns haven't been addressed over the last few years. and on chris's an opportunity of forcing as partners to address those issues, the risk for encore is that turkey could be over playing its hand. i'm itself been isolated from its western partners with good cleaning body, be the risk of isolation is nothing new for president. this is not his 1st argument

with nato allies. no, absolutely. and the other one is who is only to use the facing down. it's where i live, particularly over his close links to the russian president vladimir putin. although it had to be said that turkey, robust support of ukraine's condemnation of russia was seen as an opportunity by all sides to repair related to bring turkey back into the fold. this latest ral is threatening to ruin all of that progress has been made and it has to be set that while there is a consensus of belief, they can be made at the same time. earth one over 20. it has a reputation of a man who doesn't bluff and if he's full seemed to be to him, he will do that. and another factor, he will be in the domestic agenda you facing reelection next year. he's far behind in the polls. he knows very well that standing up to nato and in particular, washington plays very well with his turkish voting face. thank you. dora. dorian

jones in his temple. russia says nearly a 1000 ukrainian fighters of the as of style still works in mario full, have now surrendered. ukrainian authorities hope they can be traded for russian prisoners of war. but some lawmakers in moscow, according for them to be put on trial and perhaps even executed ukraine, says talks about at evacuating the remaining fighters from the plan to continuing their affairs. 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'll 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 considered the death penalty for the as of regiment. in the st. louis, missouri, its porcelain, they do not deserve to live after the monstrous crimes against humanity that they

have committed and are committed continuously against our prisoners. upwards of mustard bloom, shaw ukraine. officials remain hopeful, their soldiers can be exchanged for russian prisoners of war as national, broken from our side. we can say that the negotiation process is ongoing and that the rescue operation itself is also ongoing up to an or let us through i. there is also been some unprecedented criticism of the war from unexpected quarters. sam aguilar enough in the thought. 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 threats in lat, that we got. the mar, you pol, victory marx, a rare wind for rushes 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. got

the license from dw corresponded to mathias for the in car haven ne ukraine. welcome mathias. what's most likely to happen to those ukrainian soldiers in variable surrendered? that's are to say what's most likely to happen. ukraine is still hoping for a prisoner exchange, and this is what we understand was the deal be in the very beginning. but everybody is aware that this kind of deal is not worth a lot until it has happened. the reason why these for fighters have stayed so long in this deal works and why they have not surrendered. despite her having very little food left very little ammunition left, et cetera. was that they feared that in russian hands they would be either executed or tortured. what we're hearing now from moscow, points to that possibility as well. there might be where they are now in their

hands. it's mosque on our sides. what will happen to them and how much of a blow is the loss of mary apple to the ukranian war effort? well, it has been basically from the very beginning, there was little hope that mary hugo could somehow be saved this faith room to be occupied. it was, it was surrounded early in the war and it was very clear that the ukrainian army did not have the capabilities and capacities to break through to the city and open a way in or out and maybe keep control. they were surrounded and it was a matter of time. so this does not come as a surprise and it does not have it. people feel feel sad about it, but it does not have some psychological blow in that way. what it does, however, militarily, is that it releases many of the russian troops who have been fighting that who might now be deployed elsewhere to that on bus, where the most intense fighting is going on now and you're in car. however,

the countries that 2nd biggest city, what's going on there now the city is a little bit breathing out after a long time of being not besieged because it was never surrounded. but the russian troops being very close and shelling the city residential quarters have been sure the city center has been hit by several rockets. there's a lot of distraction in the city and people have been hiding in the city for, for many, many weeks. for, for months actually, so now it's a bit safer, although we do hear cemetery somewhere in the distance, we've been to a village today that's our side of the city that was occupied and that the ukrainian forces have taken back recently and fighting is still going on there they've pushed the russians away from the cities borders, but not out of the region. thank if that is bullying in hockey.

was terms at matessa mentioned who for to protect sir the city of being held as heroes. a. so 2 of the volunteers who went to the front line, unarmed and without medical training to rescue civilians than he non competence were trapped during the heaviest fighting. he w a reporter, i'm n. s. have heard the story of one volunteer at a hospital in the viv, 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. oh, not counting their pets. so unless him, despite his perennial smile, he was in a constant state of fear one night his fears came true. what's

officials? i'm a bunch of tickets. everything we see on the scene talk or in the movies, and it's not like veterinary life financial, it's 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 at the level but not as on the prowler. when i turned left her a thumbs up, the driver's side was exposed. same amounts across the key and on the dance. when i felt the 1st bullet hit my leg only going up on me with clickable b 2nd shot tore of my finger. hello, hello. hello for butter. i really saw that moment as well, but i couldn't believe it was real. his loss of gifts in the years that it was like a nightmare thorns and on the model, the quality i love, i felt like a bullet in my back. i'll spring like it felt i was starting to florida. yeah. have each of our have soup, which on i said why i think of being shown 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 the holy my lung victoria menu. because if not, i could do, i'd have taken a few more breakfasts when it, sir, smiling with her collapse for them without a flat or metal would have the 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 a 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 which tore his jeans. but saw that was it was fashionable sort of darling . if not even the cats were home. would you actually be 30 bullets? hit the car this afternoon, should 5 take me another 25? totally miss. no one can believe it overnight escort. even a soldier said really what of which you survived? if tony me, for vieira showed 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 lives? so that's what the volunteers say. he's got the stuff will, if not me, then you just little bit prosy on some politicians trying to change the state as well as i mean, these are the people who cannot 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. couple of other quick stories related to the war in ukraine. a russian soldier being tried for war crimes in ukraine has pleaded guilty. the 1st such case since the invasion, the prosecutor says it sent a clear message to those who commit war crimes, though that will not escape responsibility with all his lawyer says he will challenge the indictment smaller. the international criminal court is sending forensic experts and investigators to ukraine to pro possible war crimes against humanity. western allies accused russia of committing war crimes including murdering civilians. i fear of russia is not just driving the likely expansion of

nato. it's also giving fresh impotence or impetus to western balkan nations hoping to join the european union, bosnia and herzegovina ob serbia, and cos over all emerged from the break up of yugoslavia, nato and e. u. troops are still in bosnia and kosovo, to stop ethnic conflicts flaring up again. this is held up for you membership bits, but the desire to reduce russian influence are sparked a flurry of diplomatic activity. they've been patient here in the western balkans. now years of waiting for new momentum and their bids to join, the european union may be coming to an end. german defense minister christina lamb, placed as in bosnia herzegovina, with a warning european leaders, one government here to guard against russia's attempts to keep regional conflicts. brewing ongoing backorder are

missing, i think there is in awareness, how great rushes influence could become overdue for or a scholarly, ah, national garage. therefore, there is a willingness to support us and that's why the soldiers so well come here, crucial to the entire region. serbia land place tour takes a to bel grade as the government treads a fine line, condemning rasa of a ukraine. but stopping sort of joining sanctions, serbia holds the key whether the entire region will turn farther towards the you or farther towards russia. there is a will figure out from both sides. there's respect, but there's also a huge sticking point. serbian president alexander voted won't recognize kosovo as a state. in footage german minister lamp great finds a leader vowing to work for peace, but leaving it open. whether he will really changed course model this, we need

a compromise. it is the only solution that can insure p c for the next 5200 years, and no solution there will be imposed on germany is clear on what it once thus vos via of arc. what we expect, as honest partner and broker is that there will be a drive towards a normalization process with cost for that. and that sort of iron normally is your home sports is, this is necessary on this path. busters of hot ology is after some big lamb crashed, also met casa vice prime minister albin corte, who hopes europe can engineers. serbian recognition nato led k for troops have been here for 2 decades. russia, ukraine war will affect the calculations they make to keep the peace. at best fear of russian aggression could spark a decisive move to stabilize the region. at worst, it could few old nationalist reflexes. i'm out report from

d w. so chief political episode, mikaela, christina, she's also been speaking with the international law envoy to bosnia and herzegovina, about russia's influence on the balkans. mister smith, you're the high representative for the international community in bosnia and herzegovina. and he warned that rossa is exerting influence to destabilize the balkan region. what exactly do you mean by that? indeed, we see that there are some have a fiercely or an interest of the stimulus in the country so that we have seen attempts to avoid membership applications for nato, for this country. and in a time when the russian, the question against crime shows the very dangerous situations, people are very investing at stake over in about desperate need for them. now.

bosnia said yes, possible. all of these countries want you membership, get some refusing to recognize costs of what chances are there for breakthrough. so i need the situation between possible and serbia in terms of international law is complicated. this is not the case for boston has got vina, i would say boston have to go when a has a lot of between. it is, but unfortunate doesn't take there between interest. so this is the challenge for rapport, small to european integration. i hope that we will come after decision about our dania, another message on ya to join us them by cons approach to is your opinion the question, does that require more troops on the ground to sterilize the situation? i at what catering for having an increase you for a t,

a mission about 600 troops in this moment. increase to some reserve troops of 2000. i think we should work to keep this on this level, to be deployable and to be able to cool down hotspots if they are occurring. cassandra smith, i representative for bought that have to covina. thank you very much. the united nations has lost a 5 point plan aimed at averting a global climate catastrophe. a un secretary general antonio terrace is warning the time is running out as temperatures rise. like scientists also signing the alarm for key climate indicators hit new records last year, including greenhouse gas concentrations and rising sea levels much the world is already failing the effect. 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 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 through 48 degrees celsius. this year, all the records have been broken, recorded 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 go next thursday, or where else are exposed to more heat, to have to work with cloth wrapped over a head. and if we don't look at a headache, we cannot afford to stop working again because like what again,

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 bit to keep whether it streams 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. and a report released by the world measure a logical organization today confirms the past 7 years have been the warmest on record. well, we spoke with a professor, petrie at tallahassee, a secretary general of the organization, and asked him whether the parts agreement had failed or was just not enough. so we

have seen progress. we also saw progress at glasgow climate conference last november. the g 7 countries, 3 countries and european union they've been making, let's see, is to keep us on this 1.5 degrees track. but the rest of the 20 countries, countries like china, india, russia, brazil, south africa, they were not ready to make that split sees. and that's why we are not the heading towards $1.00 degrees. we are heading towards $2.00 to $3.00 degrees forming of these negative trend in climate will continue for the coming indicates anyhow. and we have already lost these lazy or melting and sea level rice game that will continue for the coming sensor is because already i concentration of, of carbon dioxide. and that means that we have to be also at that attention to i station. and i'm very powerful way to add up to climate change is to invest in

early warning services. and even in countries like germany, there seems to be an opportunity to improve those. for example, the spotting events that took place last summer could have been a much better and we could have avoided a service. it would have a function in a better matter. it's going to be much cheaper to mitigate the climate sense than the live with the consequences of climate, since it's even up to 20 times more expensive with climate seems to happen and we're not able to mitigate it. so it's also financially viable to go to pay attention to climate mitigation and, and start using these climate friendly needs. i mean, ship a, produce and etc in transport sector and also other sectors that we are dealing with . those career struggling with an outbreak of covered 19 authorities have

registered more than 1700000 cases that describe the illnesses fever related. but there aren't enough tests in pyongyang, appears not to have vaccinated its citizens a warlike approach to an invisible enemy. not korea is putting on a show of trent, who young french from state media shows thousands of army medics have been mobilized on the one. begin family as always is front and center. if you didn't handle that for yes ma'am. yeah, i'm supplying but beat your dick displays may not be enough to combat be a patent wave of covert 19 and global fears of a public health crisis remain high. the democratic people's republic of korea, the piano k has announced. sure there to stay to media their 1st outbreak of corbett 19. definitely joys deeply concerned at the risk of further spread, of course, 19 in the country,

particularly because the population is unbox. united. not korea has one of the woods worst health care systems. it's hospitals. i believe to be poorly equipped with few intensive gay units. and it's one of the only do you when members days that has not rolled out much vaccination against gov at 19. but an uncontrolled outbreak could have consequences beyond not korea global. i think the we chose, as has repeatedly said that where you have unchecked transmission, there's always a higher risk o for new variance emerging. and part of that strategy of suppressing infection of actually is yes to save lives in terms over reducing hospitalization and deaths. 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 and doing nothing in response could have far reaching consequences. i set you up to date more world news at the top of the hour up next here. ok d w at tim sebastian with conflicts. i was talking to the head of the independent russian news outlet tv, with, [000:00:00;00] with a,

with who into the conflict zone with sebastian as the kremlin began its war against you, crated force. but closure brushes,

laughed independent media outlets to secure absolute control of the public narrative. about the invasion for didn't work. my guess is week is your catherine a present one of the last channels to be shut down, conflicts net on d w. o. one of main kinds, oldest ambitions could be within reach or what is it really is possible to reverse aging researchers and scientists all over the world torino race against time. the d. n. a molecule though has

28000000 different powered glasses. they are peers and rivals with one daring goal to out smart nature for a longer, healthier and fuller life. one of the most insightful discoveries in the history of mankind. more life starts may 28th on d, w. as the kremlin began its war against ukraine. it horse, but closure of russia's last independent media outlets. the aim of course, to secure absolute control of the public narrative about the invasion and the cost of it. but did it work? and what about the people defying that control? my guess this week is the katerina katya cards a use that is turn presenter. i'm one of the last channels to be shut down doors tv
