dw meets the residence of hockey, who have made a subway station in their home authorities. while i'm out that some are afraid to return to their former shattered homes. plus global food security is under threat as the war halts, ukraine's grain exports you minister, the meeting to discuss how they can prevent russia from using wheat as a weapon. and mounting concern over at potentially deadly illness. a growing number of countries i'll confirm in cases of monkey pox, will ask an infectious disease expert. how worried we should be ah, i manuscripts mccain and welcome to the program. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski says the russian forces have, quote, completely destroyed the industrial don bass region. according to the regional governor, russia shelling killed at least 12 people,

and wounded dozens in the eastern city of savannah. daniel. he cranium, defense ministry, that intense fighting, that is preventing civilians from fleeing the area and his nightly video dress. lensky described the situation there as hell. rooms, the ukrainian or forces continue to make progress in liberating the hearts of region bicycle. but the occupiers of trying to further strengthen the pressure the don bus is held there, and that's not an exaggeration. department of civil donnette is brutal and absolutely senseless. earlier i asked the w funny fetch and keith, the more on the russian assault in the dumbass region. that is extremely difficult for civilians right now. it's like 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 zoom in on the swan toss several, don't, yes, which is the administrative capital of the nuances region, which is one of the 2 regents of the dumbass region. and ever since i was his 2014 the russian back separatist to control over the capital affluence, which is nuanced city. ever since that basically several don't. 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 increasing. and this is, unfortunately, you have the casualties over the past 24 hours alone, about 13 people at reportedly killed in other hands, screeching and about 12 of them, according to the new hunts governor, instead of doing 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, presidential janski's 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 boat 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 sir lensky mc ilo. padaya. he's been involved in p with russia. he writes, do not offer us a c syiaa and then he adds key 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 they made clear over and over ever since this will has begun or this new offensive to say. so because people are actually still seeing the war actually began 2014, for the 1st time of the separatist attack, the dumbass region and notting february this year. however, they say they definitely want to have peace, but they don't want that piece to be dictated by russia. said 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 under 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. while fighting rages in dumbass, the city of hakim is firmly in ukrainian hands off to russian troops would driven away authorities. there are eager to restore public life, and that includes guessing the hockey subway running again. but there are some obstacles to that. as our 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 hard could have been serving as bomb shirts as 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 that he's a live. i go home every 3 weeks over 6 months that i always need to prepare myself mentally before i can go without the most of them. when i run home and take a bath so we can wash here, but the conditions are not ideal. util, so they're not them on the ceiling. 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 hargrove 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 peace. no. with us on the sharon law yet on look,

i do go out on the street sometimes. but the fear is always there. i think for it is not that easy video. we need time to overcome at not done her on the subway station. many of the houses have been destroyed in some streets, barely a house 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. told us. it's terrible all along with the shell hit a wall in one of the rooms as 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. oh and that as i've got my knees are shaking my knees, they're actually shaking. i still can't believe that i knew that the windows were broken when you were parked. if only that chow hadn't hated. yeah, there wasn't a hole in the wall. we might still somehow move back more. 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. he development ministers, amazing to day 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. black see ports is halted, shipments ukrainian presidents. lensky has accused russia of using, using food as a weapon, with global consequences. the colors of ukraine countries, endless golden wheat fields, are reflected in its flag. but rushes invasion means some of ukraine's rich farmland. now looks like this. ukraine has accused russia of 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 bid 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 exporters of food products like wheat corn and some flower oil. but russia has blocks ukraine's key

ports, leaving it unable to ship vital food supplies embers metal around all without our agricultural exports. dozens of countries in different parts of the world 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 with famine in african countries asian countries. russia explained the situation on western sanctions. but some expert 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 its wheat from ukraine and russia. this war, the ukraine water has, is overlapping. the impact is overlapping with. a crisis has already been unfolding of our countries. the view is now racing to work out alternative routes across 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. i'm joined now by the w. brussels bureau chief, alexander, fun. nomine. alexander. the main focus of today's summit is this threats to food security. how great is the concern in brussels right now? that you opinion is very concerned,

not so much about its own dependence of ukrainian weeds or sunflower oil, but they are concerned what are we might be seeing us soon in neighboring, in the neighboring countries or in the most vulnerable countries in the world, in parts of africa in the middle east until we just saw in the reports or the huge challenge here. ukraine being considered the bread basket, offer the world's or what? when we take, for instance, the world food program that feeds some 125000000 people worldwide. they buy a half of their weed from ukraine, so it is a huge problem. and brussels is not only concerned about her food shortages, but also about political instability in countries were a most people already don't have enough to eat. and the e foreign policy chief, joseph burrell, is chairing the meeting today. what proposal that he likely to put forward to

tackle this issue of, of food security? the european commission has already proposed to search for alternative routes, ad they are promising you, queen help. they want to help ukraine transport it's weeds and other grains by railed by river by roads, and according to their commissioner in charge, 20000000 tons of grains have to leave ukraine in the next 3 months. so this is a huge, urgent task, but it is also very complicated. when you, for instance, talk about transport by train, we have to consider that the ukranian railway cars do not fit with the most of the you network. so those are problems that the europeans are trying to solve. and the e foreign ministers are also meeting to day inter, in the wider form of the council of europe. can you tell us

a little about what will be on the agenda there? so on and on the agenda there are many different issues because this is the annual meeting of the council of europe. we're not only members of the repeal union are members of the council, but also countries outside the block or such as for instance, turkey are going to speak about the state of democracy. of the rule of law are within are the members of the council of europe. but of course, they're also going to try to coordinate, they respond to russia's war in ukraine. as you know, russia was excluded from this council because of its aggression against ukraine. alexander phenomena in brussels, thanks so much. and the u. s. president provided has given his full support to sweden and finland and joining nato. the nordic countries applied to join the alliance this week in response to russia's invasion of ukraine. the turkey has blocked the start of the

accession tools, alleging the 2 countries support kurdish militant groups. the finish navy training alongside a us warship. it's a site that may become more common here in the baltic sea. if finland and sweden are admitted into nato. that something president biden told the leaders of both countries he fully backs. they are proud to welcome and offer the strong support of the united states for the applications, a to great democracies, and to close highly capable partners to join the strongest most powerful defensive allies in the history of the world. but while biden may be keen to welcome sweden and finland into nato, se if you would have turkey's president, edwin has made clear that he has objections in his durham addressing the turkish parliament on wednesday,

he accused the 2 nordic countries of supporting kurdish militias of turkey considers terrorist groups, i go on and go. we are finished. president said they were trying to address turkey's concerns, the whole alliance, assa nato allies. we will commit to turkey security, just as turkey will commit to olive security. we take terrorism seriously. we condemn terrorism in all its forms, and we are actively engaged in combating it. we are open to discussing all the concerns. turkey may have other nato nations, a confident in the turkey's reservations will be over come, but for now, at least it looks like it may be some months before sweden and finland can take part in these baltic drills as nato allies are. has a quick look at some other news making headlines around the world. spain's former king fun carlos is visiting his homeland after nearly 2 years of self imposed exile

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. our 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 free recently in france. us dr. the now investigating whether the massachusetts case is related to the european outbreaks. monkey pox is a rare viral infection, usually found in small mammals in west and central africa. the spread of the virus is usually caused by people traveling to those areas. that's why dr. is at the massachusetts general hospital in the us 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 hawk suspect. and this was really unusual because the patient had

no travel history. no, i exposure to animals that would be known to be reservoirs. however, the team thinking about the patient and hearing and just over the weekend and some of the cases, the 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. authorities say they're monitoring the outbreak closely. it's not likely that it will generate a significant transmission, but we cannot rule it out. we have to be very careful with monkey pox is similar to humans. smallpox, though milder. most people recover from it and 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, since 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, but it's 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 has lower their urging any suspected cases to self isolate. immediately earlier i spoke to simon clark and associate professor and sally la micro biology from the unit versity of reading in the u. k. i given the symptoms of money, monkey pox are mild and humans. i asked him why health officials and now focusing

their attention on it spread. all symptoms are generally quite mild. i leave the low rate probably about one percent. this is division of the virus. we have in the case probably about one fence in the context of an african health care system. european health care system you would expect, i think be even lower. but you 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 nice. so in young people, so there is a need to control. they said 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 proxies,

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 offensive unity. ralph outbreaks, that will be attempts to use anti bodies against smallpox. again, monkey pox as well. now this tropical diseases normally found in west and central africa. now we're seeing it here in colder climates than the u. s. in europe, do we have any knowledge about why we're seeing it here? will it's the sort of thing that we would periodically see. anyway, i suspect the, the relatively high number of outbreaks of climbs it's probably got something to do with increased travel. people haven't been able to travel too far from europe, africa for quite a while. now, i'm going to call say to the past few months,

that will change, then people will stop the, the ground, the will to get will stop 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 weren't. so of course we're probably a bit more susceptible to a monkey box than the old, the population. fascinating still, simon cloud from the university of reading. thank you. and when moving on to some football and he is now and after and has fight 1st thrilling when in the euroleague on wednesday, the team has arrived back home to a hero's welcome in the city. around $100000.00 fans packed frankfurt main square to hale, the men who be glasgow ranges on penalties. coach oliver glass now goalkeeper kevin trap an affair bray. he scored the winning penalty are among those soaking up
