for war crimes and crimes against civilians. so it's not clear if a prisoner swapper will go ahead. it seems that there are still some obstacles in the way there. uh, but let me remind you that ukrainians actually started putting russians on trial for, for war crimes. so this might also be a reaction to that. but at the moment, there's a very little information seeping out. it just, it appears at russia after having, having dealt with a sheet for 4 or 4 months, i will do everything they can to make us look like a huge victory. these as of fighters and i are seen as hero is in the ukraine, and now as you say, we're hearing ration low make is talking about putting them on trial for war crimes, even executing then what response has that been from the government in keith to this right, again there's very little response. there's been this re

a sherman's by the ukranian through the red cross and including the u. n. a. to make this prisoner exchange. go ahead, but also let me tell that ukraine is not seeing the situation as the as off regiment are members of the as of regiment having given up with this is a, a planned evacuation operation. this is a military operation, and the military spokesperson actually said that to any information that would be given to the public would endanger the future of a of these are of these people. so that's why we're hearing very little at the moment. now, rushing force is ah, now focusing on east and ukraine. what can you tell us about that progress back? right, so russia is a pressing for them with their offensive, nissan ukraine, particularly in the don bus region with a claim for, for, for russian back separatists that there has been some intense shelling in these

parts yesterday. there is also also in other parts of the castle region. for example, in the south, we're hearing reports that a evacuation transfer was hits and 3 people were actually killed. but we also came from the ukranian forces that, that there has been some successful dis, disruption. some successful sabotage in the, in the dumbest region behind enemy lines. the, the, the russians are believed to have sustained some heavy equipment losses. but, but in addition to that, we also have to say there's probably no, no, no, no, no one inside of the fighting. the you training president actually just announced that there will be an extension of martial law for the next 3 months. all right, next sunday for pushing from keith. thanks so much. now the u. s. president joe biden will haste. the leaders of sweden and finland as the 2 nordic nations push ahead with their beds to join nato, new members and need unanimous agreement from all 30 current members. a turkey's

opposition threatened to derail the precess president wretched type that one has accused finland and sweden of harbouring members of the kurdish separatist. p k. k, which is designated by anchor and the west is a terrorist group that analysts say add one is using the situation to extract other concessions to for turkey. the issue could actually be about us fighter jets. turkey was dropped from the f 35 advanced fighter jet development program in 2019 this was part of the us sanctions packet imposed on the country after it bought a russian air defense system. many believe anchor is now hoping to pressure the us into selling it new f. 16 fighter jets instead. an extremely controversial topic and washington, another issue in 2019 sweden halted weapons deliveries to turkey. after it attacked

kurdish people's defense units in northern syria and launched and offensive there. anamosa turkish president reject type odor. one could considered this grounds enough to block the start of nato. accession talked for sweden and finland, possibly destabilizing the alliance. and the process would, it would play into president putin's hands. it would send a signal that there is no unity with the nato. the wrong signal at precisely the wrong moment signifies insipid. in new york, us secretary of state anthony blinkin and his turkish counterpart med look sharp, who shallow met in an attempt to find the compromise. there shall be shallow made, took his position clear to clear as being supporting the open door policy on nato. even before this war, but we got to these possible candidates already candidate countries. you know, we have also legitimate security concerns that they have been supporting terrorist

organizations. and there are also export restrictions on defense products. every concession turkey winds from the situation will likely isolated further in nato circles, but will win president of one political points at harm. something he will welcome his turkey heads towards presidential elections next year. the un secretary general antonio terrorist has expressed hope of reaching a deal with moscow to allow millions of tons of grain to leave ukrainian ports. are you creating one of the world leading produces of grain, but the war has hampered exports via the black sea and is exacerbating the global food security crisis. now the romanian port of constantia has become a vital hub for grain shipments. he w jack power reports on the challenges it's facing. this ukrainian cone would never have been here at the port of con stanza, before russia's invasion. it would have been shipped out of the now closed port of

odessa, 250 kilometers up the black sea coast. it's good for business for the operators here, but there are concerns about capacity. i see with progress. one of them will be done. we get many more for the me and one in the, in green one, no green in many, many school. but of course, you're not moving a harvard region. what was this vessel leaves? port 210000 tons of ukrainian corn will be shipped out since the start of april. but that's just one percent of the 20000000 tons of grain that needs to be shifted in the next 3 months. before these ukranian fields are harvested to avoid major bottlenecks, which could cause it to rot. pretty much all of the corners coming in to the porter . consanzo is from ukraine at the moment. this vote is had it from here though,

to rotterdam. but many of the vessels go to north africa and the middle east, and there are real fears of an increase in fish shortages and famine. if supply bottlenecks arise, the port authority says it's doing everything it can. we don't have other choice. what are if i i screaming and the here hedrick where it's very easy to scream, i don't, i cannot do nothing. i cannot, this is showcase is hard time. everybody. this is a special situation and everybody must accommodate this situation. french solution concerns a port has another problem. no. 700 of these wagons, lay rusting on the ports on the used train lines held in judicial limbo, following legal battles between state and private entities. the countries transport minister says a new 40000000 euro project will renovate 95 romanian train lines before the end of the year. partly to make switching wheels to accommodate trains arriving from the east,

which use white trucks for 30 or 40 years is 2 tracks. war and so now we must do ingle arts in order to, to modernize this line, the soviet type of food lives and to come directly in the hell harbor. this really is a graveyard of these old cargo carriages right now. were few 100 meters away from the ports of can stanza, and the plan is that this won't only support with the ukrainian shipments that are coming in, but also that it will help rejuvenate this area for the future. but in the short term, europe approaching summer will only me more grains coming in and with no end to the war in site pressure on the infrastructure. hearing her son, the, the only set my alarm in european commission has launched a 300000000000 euro plan to end year. it's dependent on russian fossil fuels. and

the main focus is on renewable energy. germany, belgium, the netherlands, and denmark of all pledged to produce more wind power in the north sea. this is among the ways europe plans to create more home grown energy through enormous offshore wind projects in the north sea. in denmark, representatives met from the european commission and the north sea countries to discuss forging a new path forward. the big reason is that we have to expend the offshore wind industry all over the north sea that we have to connect each other that we can make it come business out of it. and we understand that this smell did time for industrialization. the declaration of intent will soon be followed by concrete projects. concern for the environment is one incentive, but europe also wants to rid itself of dependence on russian oil and gas as quickly as possible. the european commissioners explained how it will work. the re power

e u plans are a mix of ideas and concrete regulatory proposals. one of the most important points, speeding up the approval process. veneta re doke about topic deployment. a few of us that he's an elephant in that room, getting a permit might take as long as 9 years for wind, and up to 4 years for a solar projects. so this is time that we do not have in the future. the approval of such projects should be possible within a year. alongside wind power, solar energy will also be prioritized. we're proposing a solar rooftop obligation for commercial and public buildings as of 2025. and for new residential buildings as of 2029. i know this is ambitious, but it is realistic. we can do it. to finance this, the e will have to spend a lot of money. more than 300000000000 euros have already been allocated to the

plan. some football news now and wednesday nights or a thrilling conclusion to the euro part league with an a 5 foot winning and a penalty shoot out a bundis league. aside for self. scotlands ranges in a tough final and seville is frankfurt is 1st continental trophy in 42 years. the funds from glasgow in frankfort drank in the beer, and the rope league atmosphere before the game. amid a searing heat wave in seville, perhaps they would have paced themselves a little more if they'd known what lay in store in the final. after a tense, 1st half, a slit from 2 to allow ju, i reboot, to give ranges to lead on 57 minutes. but raphael bery latched on to a great cross from phillip, hostage to equalize and spark bedlam in the frankfurt funds in seville. there was still make thereafter, and so the game went to penalties, and frankfort keeper, kevin trump, safe from out in ramsey, brought to glasgow from event to summit,

much fanfare in january to give the germans. the advantage on columbia's borreo made his 2nd big contribution of the night, keeping his crew limit the heat to give frankfort just their 2nd european trophy and their 1st since the u. f. a cup in 1980. no surprise. it went down pretty well back home in germany in watching the w news coming up next robot has your business news. looking at the u. s. polls taurus on russian oil. i. many gifts mckinnon. thanks so much for being with sh slash.
