d. w meets the residence of hock, heave hoof made a subway station. the new home authorities want them out, but some are afraid to return to their shattered homes. plus global food security is under threat of the war hope's ukraine's brain exploits e ministers are meeting to discuss how they can prevent russia from using wheat as a weapon. and mounting concern over a rat and potentially deadly illness. a growing number of countries i'll confirm in cases of monkey folks, will ask an infectious disease expert. how worried we should be ah i'm on your campus beacon and thanks so much for joining us. ukrainian president. the laudermill zalinski says that russian forces have quote, complete,

destroyed the industrial don bass region. according to the regional governor, russian shelling killed at least 12 people and wounded dozens in the east and city of severity announced ukrainian defense ministry that intense fighting. there is preventing civilians from fleeing the area in his nightly video address. lensky describe the situation there as hell. room is the ukrainian or forces continue to make progress and liberating the heart of region by one. but the occupiers of trying to further strengthen the pressure and the don bus. um, it's hell there, and that's not an exaggeration. department of civil donnette is brutal and absolutely senseless. earlier i asked he w, funny if i try and keith for more on the russian assault and the dumbass region that is extremely difficult for civilians, right? 9 tech, almost impossible, actually to leave in a way that safe for them. you have to understand that russian forces are basically fighting over every village over every roll over every bridge and same way,

obviously, ukrainians as well as they want to make sure and prevent that russian forces do not advance further into the dumbass region. but while this is ongoing, especially after zooming on, the swan tossed several don, yes, which is the administrative capital of the nuance region, which is one of the 2 regions of the dumbass region. and ever since i was his 2014 the russian back separatist to control over the capital affluence, which is the one city allison's that basically senator don. yes, is the ukranian territory in that regard that ukraine wants to make sure that this is not falling also into the hands of separatists or russian forces right now. so as a result, this is was shelling is really, really an increasing. and this is, unfortunately, i you, you have the casualties over the past 24 hours alone, about 13 people at reportedly killed in advance region and about 12 of them, according to the new hunts governor instead of don't yet. so really the focus here is on the city and unfortunately this is were increased fighting increased shelling

is going to make the life of people who are hunkering down there in their basement, wherever they can find shelter. it is making the alive as an ascii, sat pointed out there as, as, as how and the really, the question is just how long this is going to go on. because in fact, just yesterday, president savanski signed a, i am the decision that the marshal law is going to be extended by 3 more months in ukraine. so very likely, unfortunately this what he describes as quote hell is going to last for quite some time. unfortunately, that seems the recent success of ukraine's troops has bolstered keith's confidence . we're going to take a quick look at this tweet by an adviser to president zalinski and mc ilo. put all jak, he's been involved in. he stults with russia. he writes, do not offer us a ceasefire, and then he adds, keith is not interested in a new minsk agreement. the ceasefire agreed in 2014, 2015 aimed at ending the fighting. and the dumbass suggesting moscow would simply

launch another war in a few years. and then he goes on until russia is ready to fully liberate occupied territories. ukraine's negotiating team is weapons, sanctions, and money funny from, from what you're hearing, have the ukrainians now basically given up on peace talks. and do they believe that they can keep going head to head with the russians if this war continues to drag on as you're suggesting? ukraine certainly did not give up on p stokes, but what they may clear on they made clear over and over ever since this will has begun or this and you offensive to say so because people are actually still seeing the work she began 2014 for the 1st time of the separatist attack, the don't bus region and not in february this year. however, they say they definitely want to have peace, but they don't want that piece to be dictated by russia. they do not want russia to basically dictate the conditions under which this piece is going to be a reach or let's just at 1st talk about the possible ceasefire at some point

because this is what people are looking at. that just have a ceasefire on the, which we can talk about what's, what's the way forward. but given the full picture that now ukraine is receiving billions of dollars from the u. s. but also from the g 7 countries. this is the tom and ukraine says they want to win this will because they don't want this war to be frozen and russia to attack again in a few years from that from now. he w correspondent, funny fetch our reporting from keith. thank you. now while fighting rages in dumbass, the city of hockey is firmly in ukrainian hands off to russian troops were driven away. authorities are now eager to restore public life, and that includes getting the hockey subway, running again, that there are some obstacles to that. as a correspondent, mathias bellinger has been finding out why they came here to flee the bombs. and now they don't want to leave people who have been living in the subway station are petitioning the government to let them stay. subway stations here and hargrove,

have been serving as bomb shirts since the beginning of the war. ye katerina top, i and her husband have been living here since the very 1st day. you do have a value ross? did he dearly? i go home every 3 weeks old. i said i must, but i always need to prepare myself mentally before i can go without the moisture when i run home and take a bath so we can wash here, but the conditions are not ideal utils, so they're not of my life is dylan. others don't have a choice, they do not have a place to go back to any more. this station is the terminal station of the metro line, the northernmost station in the city. it's closest to the front line and to those areas that have been most heavily shell. the shelling of harker has all but subsided and the local government wants to get the subway system running again. it wants the people to leave the metro and is offering to relocate them. but many here

don't trust the piece. no. because on the sharon law yet on look, i do go out on the street sometimes. but the fear is always there that it for it is not that easy, but if we need time to overcome it, not done her on the subway station, many of the houses have been destroyed in some streets. barely a horse has been untouched. olga has also spent the past months in a subway is the 1st time she's come back to see the apartment where she lived with her mother and her son. she was told that there was damage, but she didn't know how bad it was. all just, it's terrible all along with the shell hit a wall in one of the rooms. there's debris, everywhere,

she documents everything. people can report the damage on the government website, but nobody knows how long it will take to get any support on that as i can, my knees are shaking my knees. they're actually shaking. i still can't believe it or from what i knew that the windows were broken when you were parked. if only that shower hadn't hasten. yeah, there wasn't a hole in the wall. we might still somehow move back or the house is still standing . but this is different. fairly for now the only thing to do is to collect some of their belongings. they will not move back to the subway, but to a relative's house. okay, let's take a look at some of the other developments in the war in ukraine. the u. s. senate has overwhelmingly approved nearly $40000000000.00 in new age for ukraine.

emergency package includes military, economic, and humanitarian assistance. the decision came as the u. s. authorized the shipment to ukraine of another $100000000.00 worth of weapons and equipment from pentagon stokes, united german shots that will have shot. it says ukraine's allies will not accept a piece dictated by russian president vladimir putin. addressing german will make as the head of a european meeting on ukraine. later this month, chancellor, shall it's pledged to supply more weapons to ukraine and to what quickly to make your independent of russian energy. russian missiles have hit a grain warehouse in easton, ukraine official say the storage facility south of upper regia is now completely unusable. russia has repeatedly targeted ukraine's grain warehouses and all the civilian infrastructure. e development ministers, a meeting today, just to discuss how the war in ukraine is impacting global food security. a ukraine

is one of the world's most important supplies of grain and sunflower, oil rushes, blockade of black c ports has halted shipments. ukrainian, president lensky has accused russia of using food as a weapon with global consequences. the colors of ukraine countries, endless golden wheat fields, are reflected in its flag. but russia's invasion means some of ukraine's rich farmland. now, looks like this. ukraine has accused russia deliberately targeting its agriculture sector, tearing up fields, planting land, mines and destroying equipment and warehouses in safer parts of the country. farmers have been tasked with planting extra crops in a bit to make up for the losses elsewhere. but the threat to food security goes far beyond ukraine. the country is one of the world's biggest export as of food products like wheat corn and some flower oil. but russia has blocks you cranes,

key ports leaving it, unable to ship vital food supplies in level around all without our agricultural exports. dozens of countries in different parts of the world are already on the brink of food shortages. and over time, the situation could become, frankly speaking, terrible. politicians are already discussing the possible consequences of the sharp rise in prices, famine in african countries, asian countries. russia has blamed the situation on western sanctions. but some experts suggest russia is manipulates in grain markets using wheat as a bargaining chip to its own advantage. as the world's number one wheat exporter there are warnings, russia could withhold its own wheat exports for political gain. according to the world food program, around 4 and a half 1000000 tons of grain is stuck in silos at ukrainian ports. it's

particularly disastrous for countries already suffering from food shortages. yemen for example, gets more than half of it suite from ukraine and russia. this war, the ukraine water has, is overlapping. the impact is overlapping with a crisis has already been on the 14th of our countries. the e. u is now racing to work out alternative routes across the land to secure supply chains. meanwhile, the u. n. is leading negotiations to get shipping routes reopened, and get vital food supplies to whether desperately need it from one join now by the w. brussels bureau chief, alexandra fun. nomine. good morning, alex alexander. the main focus of today's summit is the threat to fuel food security. how great is the concern in brussels right now?

i think we have to say that the european union is very concerned not so much about its own dependence on ukrainian weed or sunflower oil. it's more about what could be happening soon in the neighboring countries or in the most vulnerable countries in parts of africa or in the middle east. so there is a major concern that we could see mass hunger and famine. if for this crisis is not going to be solved and we just have to remember, as we saw in the report that ukraine is one of the biggest exports of food, the world food program. for instance, that is feeding more than $100.00. 20000000 people buys 50 percent of its wheat from ukraine for did i mention is huge. and russia stands not only accused of blocking cur ukrainian portsmouth also as we saw in the report of deliberately targeting ukrainian food sector. the foreign policy chief, joseph burrell,

is chairing the meeting. what's proposals? is he likely to put forward to tackle an issue of just such magnitude? while the queen and commissioner has already proposed stirred to help you queen transport it. so weeds and other grains on roads by road, by river, and by rail, and are looking for alternative routes. but the task is huge and very complex. we have to keep in mind for instance, that there is a difference of gauge offer track. so if we are speaking about railway ways of transporting, we'd, so are the weeds or would needs to be reloaded and border crossing. so between ukraine and for instance, poland the neighboring countries. so are the solutions still needs to be found? to be honest, how to deal with this huge graces looming and the you foreign ministers are also meeting to day and sure. and can you give us an idea of what will be on the agenda

there? they will be meeting in the much broader format. we're talking here about the council of europe and its members are not only members of the european union, but also countries outside the block like turkey, for instance. so ukraine is of course, a front and center of the agenda, but i think this meeting is more about exchanging views and proposals ah, on how to help you already w's alexander phenomenal brussel. thank you. all right, here's a quick look at some of the other news making headlines around the world. spain's former king juan carlos is visiting his homeland after nearly 2 years of self imposed exile, crowds turned out to see him. the 84 year old abdicated after a series of financial scandals, the royal family says he will return to his home in abu dhabi. on monday, more shanghai residents have been allowed to shop for groceries for the 1st time.

in nearly 2 months, people were given, passes, permitting them to leave their homes for just 40 minutes as possible. authorities plans to gradually exit the half over 19 lockdown. germany's top court has approved rules requiring health work as to be vaccinated against coven 19. the constitutional court rejected complaints against the mandate, which has been in effect since march. it said the importance of protecting vulnerable people in hospitals and care homes outweighed any infringement of health workers, rights and authorities in the us state of massachusetts have recorded their 1st case of the rat monkey pox virus. several european countries have reported cases most recently in france. u. s. doctors are now investigating whether the massachusetts case is related to the european outbreaks. monkey pox is a rare viral infection, usually found,

and small memos in west and central africa. the spread of the virus is usually caused by people traveling to those areas. that's why doctor is at the massachusetts general hospital in the u. s. were initially surprised to be confronted with the disease in a patient. during the course of their admission, they were identified as a possible monkey pox aspect. and this was really unusual because the patient had no travel history, no exposure to animals, that would be known to be reservoirs. however, the team thinking about the patient and hearing a just over the weekend about some of the cases united kingdom thought more broadly about the patient's diagnosis. doctors and now working to establish whether the infection is connected to small outbreaks. currently being seen in europe, italy and sweden have become the latest countries to confirm cases following britain, portugal and spain. authority say they're monitoring the outbreak closely. it's

not likely that it will generate a significant transmission, but we cannot roll it out. we have to be very careful. we're monkey pox is similar to human smallpox. the milder most people recover from it in a few weeks. symptoms include fever and headache, feeling tired and swollen glands. the virus is usually transferred through close bodily contact or bodily fluids. while the world health organization says the general public should be aware of unusual skin rashes, expert stress, there is no need for alarm. it can then spread from person to person, which is not very efficient at transmitting. and so what we normally see is maybe one or 2 people get infected from that case and then it dies out because it's not very infectious within human population. while authority

stressed of the risk to the general public is lower, their urging any suspected cases to self isolate immediately and the more natural and by simon clark associate professor anthony let microbiology from the university of reading in the u. k. welcome to the w. now we heard there in that report, the symptoms of monkey pox are quite mild in human. so why now our health officials focusing their attention on this spread lose symptoms are generally quite mild. and the fallacy rates probably about one percent the supervision of the virus. we have in the case probably about one fence in the context of an african health care system in european health care system. you'd expect that i think be even lower. we have to remember that this cause is quite

severe lesions which can scar, can stay with people for life, and also it's more likely to be lethal in young people. so there is a need to control, they tend to get on top of it quickly and prevent it from spreading. now, how can monkey pox be treated with some of the treatments that we have for smallpox, which hasn't been used in decades because of course small boxes extinct could be wheeled out. we're not quite sure exactly how effective these will be, but that does appear to be some efficacy with them. so you could use the smallpox vaccine to ring fence immunity, route outbreaks. that will be attempts to use antibodies again, small pox against monkey pox as well. now this tropical diseases normally found in west and central africa. now we're seeing here in colder climates in the u

. s. in europe, do we have any knowledge about why we're seeing it here? will it's sort of thing that we would periodically see. anyway, i suspect the, the relatively high number of outbreaks, the bullet climbs, is probably something to do with increased travel. people haven't been able to travel too far from europe, africa for quite a while now. and of course, in the past few months, that will change then people will stop moving around the world to get and we'll start to see these outbreaks. of course, we have to remember the older people have some residual immunity. it's believe from the smallpox vaccine, somebody my age won't sort. of course we're probably a bit more susceptible to a monkey box than the old copulation. fascinating stuff, simon. cloud from the university of reading. thank you. since all he is

now enough to, i'm stuffed frankfurt. thrilling when in the euroleague on wednesday, the team has arrived back home to a hair as welcome in the city around 100000 fans pipe frank that's mains. glad to hail the men who b glasgow ranges on penalties. coach oliver glass now goalkeeper kevin trap and a rough, i'll bray he scored the winning penalty among they soaking up the acclaim. plasma says he's going to be passing through until saturday quite the party. and now to another giant, a german for bull hamburg. feet had had berlin in the 1st leg of the bundle lake as relegation playoff visiting fans travel to berlin in huge numbers and their backing
