ah ah ah, this is d w. news live from berlin, ukraine's president says the dumbass is completely destroyed. the modem is zalinski, says russia has turned the eastern region into hell. he calls the bombardment of some better than yet brutal and senseless. while cave accuses russian forces of stopping civilians from flaying also on the program. global food security is under

threat as the war hole. 2 crimes grant ex told me you ministers a mating to discuss how they can prevent russia from using weight as a weapon. thought he was president joe bought touches down in south korea for talks with new late f jones appealed level security issues are set to dominate the agenda starts his visit at a computer chip factory will hear why and mounting concern i for a rare and potentially deadly illness, a growing number of countries. a confirming cases of monkey pox will ask an infectious disease expert. how worried we should be ah i'm rebecca rich has welcome to the program. ukrainian, president of a lot of his zalinski says, russian forces have, quote, completely destroyed be industrial don bass region. according to the regional

governor, their russian shelling killed at least 12 people and wounded dozens in the aisd and city of savannah. and yet, the ukrainian defense ministry says intense fighting berries, preventing civilians from fleeing the area. that landscape comments came in, his nightly video address is room as the ukrainian or forces continue to make progress in liberating the heart of region by one. but the occupiers of trying to further strengthen the pressure that don bus them is held there. and that's not an exaggeration. the bombardment of civil donnette is brutal and absolutely senseless . when an hour i asked d w, fanny fasciitis key for more on the russian assault in the dawn, best region situation is devastating rebecca in the don't bus region attacks have really intensified ever since russia has withdrawn from the northern region. here i am right now q fridge and sharon have and they have refocused, basically they offensive on the dump us region, something that bloody me put in has been describing as the motherland. basically

this is where they want to gain momentum, specifically over one town. this is what they want to gain control over over several doing yet. now. several doing yet is basically the administrative center offline. screven ever since is 2014, the separatist backed by russia. have a control over lou hunter city, which has been the capital of the launch region. as a result, this is where we see most of the heavy shutting right now. these are villages, territories around that city, but also within the city itself. so people are caught up in the crossfire it's civilians who after beta bronze about 12 people, a during the past one for us alone have died because of shouting and at the same time, of course you have presidents at n ski describing this devastating situation as how in a way, also signaling to the international community do not forget about the people in the dorm bus region, even though the front lines have shifted, as i say, from the north, towards the east and southern part of ukraine. so basically saying, step up there, make sure they are sanctions coming. may sure they are more weapons coming and make

sure that this will ends soon. as you mentioned, there reinforcements from as shown here, british military intelligence says rusher is likely to re enforce its operations in the don bass once they secure that city of matter. you, paul, what's the latest on the situation in matter? you pull in of course, at the as of steel plant, tougher murray pool because it's been really under heavy shutting for the past months. really that that town is basically reduced almost to nothing to rubble. and when it comes to the us of saw steel plant, there is little information from ukrainian government and really tight lipped, actually about what's happening right now. how many soldiers are still hold out there? they're seeing this is due to the fact that they want to make sure that they do not endanger the process that's still ongoing, but we just do not know what exactly is happening. is that one of the senior leaders of the, of a regiment appeared on a video message yesterday saying that he still inside other fighters are still on side. but if you do not know, as i say,

just how many i side and how many have really surrendered. and while ukraine is quite tight lipped, russia sibling li, or trying to control the narrative there, they say more than 1700 people soldiers have surrendered. this could be also, not just as if regiments soldiers by the regulars to which is from the national guard. and they really trying to emphasize here that of those soldiers. i treated well who right now in the hospital, in the dumbass region, or in a, a facility that's actually like a prison, so, dang, to control. they are trying to control the message on what's happening to them while ukraine is not saying much. however, and this is what gives some hope to the civilians and the relatives actually all of the soldiers that the rat cross has a began identifying. and we just registering number of the soldiers. so at least to some relatives may be, the uncertainty may be over that at least they know, are they inside are the outside of this the, of that steel plant through are they? but regardless of that, the situation in that steel plant is not resolved yet. not funny,

thank you very much for that update. funny fisher in keith now, while fighting rages in don bass, the city of hunt cave is firmly back in ukrainian hands after russian troops were driven away. authorities are eager to restore public life and that includes getting the hot cave at subway station and running again. but there are some obstacles to that. as our correspond, it is pulling, it has been finding out why they came here to flee the bombs. and now they don't want to leave the 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 shelters since the beginning of the war decor 30 natalie by and her husband have been living here since the very 1st day. you do have, are you ross that he dearly i go home every 3 weeks over semester, but i always need to prepare myself mentally before i can go without the moisture

with them when i run home and take a bath so we can wash here. but the conditions are not ideal utils, so there's not a minute 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 or 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. because on the sharon law yet on look, i do go out on the street sometimes. but the fear is always there. they say for it is not that easy video. 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. told us. it's terrible irma with with 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.

oh and that hasn't got my knees are shaking my knees. they're actually shaking. i still can't believe it or what i knew that the windows were broken when you were parked. if only that chow hadn't hasten yet. 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. the years from all the developments in the war in new crime, the u. s. senate has overwhelmingly approved nearly $40000000000.00 in new i'd few crime 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 stalks. russian missiles have hit a grain warehouse in east in ukraine. official side, the storage facility southeast of separation is not completely unusable. russia has

repeatedly targeted ukraine's grain warehouses and others of it in infrastructure. a, you develop a minister as a meeting today to discuss how the war in ukraine is impacting global food security . ukraine is one of the world's most important supplies of grain and some flower oil, but russia's blockade of black sea ports has halted shipments. ukrainian president zalinski has accused rusher of using food as a weapon with global consequences. the colors of ukraine, the countries endless golden wheat fields are reflected in its flag. but rushes invasion means some of you cranes, 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 safe. a parts of the country farmers have been tasked 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 export is 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 in buzz level around all without our agricultural exports. dozens of countries in different parts of the well to 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 has blamed 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 it sweet from ukraine and russia. this. so we're, the ukraine we're has sal is overlapping. the impact is overlapping with a crisis that has already been unfolding of our countries. the e. u 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. earlier we asked ada blue brussels

bureau chief alexander phenomena about the eas concerns over of possible global food crisis that you appear in union is very concerned. not so much about its own dependence of ukrainian weeds or sunflower oil, but they are concerned what we might be seeing soon in neighboring, in the neighboring countries in the most vulnerable countries in the world, in parts of africa, in the middle east until we just saw in the reports, the huge challenge here, ukraine being considered the bread basket of the world. what, when we take, for instance, the world food program that feeds some 125000000 people worldwide. they buy a half of their wheat from ukraine. so it is a huge problem, and brussels is not only concerned about food shortages, but also about political instability in countries where most people already don't

have enough to eat it. emberly's alexander from norman and you as president joe biden has kicked off his 1st presidential trip to asia in south korea, where he's having talks with new president units, look young a 5 day asia journey, which also takes him to japan, is intended to counter chinese influence and cement us leadership in asia is expected to address concerns connected to russia's invasion of ukraine. in sol, he visited a samsung semiconductor plant, which one or one much like the factory. the electronics giant plans to build in texas, dealing with a global shortage of computer chips is a key element of his trip. of more let's bring in journalist frank smith in sole frank, why this visit now? and why didn't he go to japan 1st? well, he usually does go to japan 1st to you as president when, when he visits the, the region. i think this was something over reward for you. and so you'll,

he campaigned on a promise that he would strengthen the alliance and relations with the united states at the same time and does have an initiative that he's going to launch when, when he visits japan, the into pacific economic framework. and perhaps he was saving for his visit to tokyo. well, as we think china is holding military exercises in the disputed south china sea and there is the visit could be overshadowed by some kind of north korean missile test . how well that is the president about this? well, so 3 and authorities had to answer some difficult questions at the national assembly this past week about the possibility that north korea would conduct a nuclear test and they have reconstituted their put a re test site and launched 15 missiles so far this year.

so the grid does want us to commit to extended, to turns and strengthening the visitation us nuclear capable assets to the region. so it is something that they're concerned about during this summer. for sure. frank, on the, the rival, the u. s. president started by visiting a computer chip factory, as we mentioned in the late in taking t. why is that? well, around the world because the coven 19 pandemic, there were shortages of computer chips and in the production of various things, in particular, cars and what the u. s president is trying to do and, and the, so the green president insecurity. so certainly on board with this is to create a supply chain alliance. south korea conducts 25 percent of its trade with china, and 15 percent of its trade with the u. s. the so green president said he wants to diversify that dependence on china and alleviate the potential for the supply

chain bottlenecks in the world suffered earlier in the pandemic. that's fascinating . i had no idea about that. actually it's very, very interesting. all the u. s. is allies in asia worried that biden's attention is now really on ukraine and not at asia, not on asia? well, i would say here in south korea that there are certainly pretty happy. i mean, it's just may 10th prison in so kill was it was inaugurated china is going to be a little bit more worried with south korea, possibly joining the quadrilateral security dialogue was the alliance started by japan, also involving a trillion india in the united states. but it's perhaps north korea wants to see more attention paid to this region and perhaps some movement on the un security council sanctions and perhaps will conduct more missile tests and,

and nuclear test if the u. s. doesn't, you know, offer some type of incentives to, to get back to negotiations on that. right. frank, thank you very much. that comprehensive update. frank smith in cell me a quick look at some other news making headlines around the world. 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. is part of authorities plans to gradually exit the harsh cove at 19 lockdown. germany's top court has approved rules requiring health workers to be vaccinated against cove at 19. the constitutional court rejected complaints against the mandate, which has been in effect since march. it's at the importance of protecting vulnerable people in hospitals and care homes outweighed any infringement of health care workers. germany has detected its 1st case of the red monkey

pox virus. the armed forces medical servers said the case had been found in a patient in munich. this as a growing number of european countries and other others around the world report outbreaks. u. s. doctors are investigating whether a case in the state of massachusetts is related to those in europe. monkey pox is a rear viral infection, usually found and small mammals and waste and central africa. the spread of the virus is usually caused by people traveling to those areas. that's why doctors of massachusetts general hospital in the us were initially surprised to be confronted with the disease and a patient during the course of their admission, they were identified as a possible monkey pox suspect. 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, 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 in sweden have become the latest countries to confirm cases following britain, portugal, and spain, authority, se, then monitoring the outbreak closely. it's not likely that it will generate a significant transmission, but we cannot rule it out. so we have to be very careful which a we 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 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 dives out cuz it's not very infectious within human population. while authority stressed of the risk to the general public is lower the urging any suspected cases to self isolate immediately from or i'm not joined by professor k baker from the university of liverpool in the u. k. professor baker, welcome to date, i believe we just heard of their health officials saying that symptoms of monkey pox are pretty mild and nothing to worry about. no cause for alarm. but after more than 2 years of a pandemic, people are naturally concerned. should we be says shy rebecca. so

i mean yeah, there's a lot happening. i guess us just having been through codered, but there's a lot of good news here compared in contrast. so the case fatality rate, which is a think is the one that everyone worries about as far as how many people you might go on to have a fatal infection, is quite low from monkey pox. and it's very context dependent said previous estimates, you know, put it around between 0 and 11 percent. but that wide range is because it really is dependent on the outbreak. so we just don't know yet. but as they said in the lead in, you know, typically it's a self limiting our short term disease was relatively mild symptoms. and again, in contrast to cave it, you know, it's not a very vulnerable virus. so we wouldn't expect this sort of stream and very endless, like we had with the k that outbreak as well as the transmission is very different . so, you know, there is an asymptomatic transmission, so we're not going to be playing catch up as much. it's typically quite hard to transmit and when someone is transmitting they've got symptoms and so it's much easier to intervene in that transmission. okay,

that certainly does sound promising. what about treatment? how can monkey pox be treated? so because it is a relatively mild disease, actually the focus of treatment is really supportive care. so making sure people have adequate pain relief that they're getting fluids and nutrition on board, as well as treating any bacterial infections of the skin that might happened. and as a more good news, because actually earlier this year, the european medical association, i did license take her there, math for treatment of monkey pox specifically. so we do have that in our arsenault, as well as a number of vaccines that have been licensed both specifically for monkey pox and, and all the sort of smallpox stockpile vaccines also provide protection against monkey pog. so, you know, even if, if things did get at a control, there's quite a lot of things already in the cupboard, which again, is a big contrast from the co would pandemic where we were having to develop these things. as we went along, professor, we're almost out of time, but i wanted to ask you about transmission because it's

a tropical disease is normally found in west and central africa. are they concerned that we're now seeing it here in colder climates like the u. s. and europe, year, and i think that what so remarkable about this outbreak is this parallel emergence of this typically you knew self limiting disease in, in multiple areas. and to be honest with not entirely sure what's causing that it's, it's very typical. but, you know, you'll have picked up from, from the other media that some of the connections are within men who have sex with men. so gay and bisexual men and, and certainly with other pathogens that are transmissible through sex where that close contact is causing transmission. we have seen international dissemination before, so we really need to, you know, support that community and get the public health messaging out there and the health seeking behaviors focus. all right, thank you very much for that k baker professor at the university of liverpool. thanks, rebecca. a sinful ponies, tao, and after aunt frank that's thrilling when in the rope illegal wednesday the team

has arrived back home to a hero's welcome in the city. around $100000.00 fans packed frank fits named square to hale. the men who bait glasgow ranges on penalties. coach oliver glassner goal k . thank heaven trap and raphael bray who scored the winning penalty are among those soaking up the climb. plaza says he's going to ponti through until saturday and to another john of german football hamburg. bate had to berlin in the final and the 1st leg rather of the bonus leg as relegation play off. the visiting fans traveled to berlin in huge numbers and their backing help hamburg taken advantage into next week's return match. depending on who you believed, anywhere between 7525000 homburg funds were in the olympics. study on, on a bobby knight in berlin. but there was plenty of home support to that. one of the most nerve wracking games in the german calendar. this was the atmosphere into

which young danish keeper oliver christianson had to descend for his debut and a half a shirt. injuries forced coach felix ma got to play the 22 year old. he did well to party robert gluck so short of 32 minutes but there was nothing he could do of at hamburg. second, tough winter ludovic rice couldn't. of miss hitches cross any better than the humbug. funds went wild a bitter moment for christianson and for her to but the keeper's injury time save from young jamera means the berliners must only overcome a one goal deficit on monday. easier said than done in a hostile hamburg. you're watching danbury news, his reminder of the top story we're following for you. ukraine's president zalinski says russian forces have completely dest roy, the industrial don bass region. he called the bombardment of several other than yet
