i am evelyn sharma and i really think we need to talk about all the topics, the north divide and denied this. i have invited many deer and well known gas. and i would like to invite you to an end ah ah, this is dw news life from berlin. russian forces enter the ukrainian city office, several don yet. authorities, fee of the city could follow mario paul in falling to the russian onslaught. after weeks of relentless bombardment, also coming up europe,

divide it over sanctions on russian oil, while hungary is holding out against than other member states are pushing for a compromise. ah, i monica jones. good to have you with us. russian forces have entered the outskirts of the eastern ukrainian city of several don yeske. ukraine says its troops are battling to hold their positions after days of intense shelling. several done yet scarce, threatened by rushes, pushed to capture the whole of the don bus industrial region. president of a lot of mister lensky says, almost all the cities infrastructure has been destroyed, and most buildings damaged. it's fear to that exhibit or don yet could follow mary, you, paul, by falling into russian hands. will this be

a copy of mary paul as the russian army intensifies his assault in the lu, hence region. the city of savannah done yet looks like it's his moscow's newest talk in the devastation. intent shelling has already destroyed critical infrastructure and russian troops and now advancing into the city. the lodge is still held by ukrainian forces in the region. thousands of civilians are believed to still be in the city. and lou hanks governor said the continent shelling makes it impossible to count casualties. the push confirms russian forces objective to capture the entire don best region, which the kremlin is calling an unconditional priority. the fighting has made evacuating besieged towns across the don best dangerous. but a groups of working to rescue the sick and injured watching program. most of them

of wounded people who i've okay in uh from the hospitals. sir, i in eastern regents the tumult safe fennimore, and to leave upgrade them to the hospitals in western ukraine and believed that no fil and dis on auto for that of them and to give them proper medical care. amid the russian onslaught, keith is counting his victories on sunday, present zalinski visited the war ravaged city of ha, keith recently reclaimed by ukrainian fighters. it was the lensky, his 1st trip to the embattled east since the invasion. and he took the time to meet and decorate the front line troops. so this little ocean is, was i want to thank each of you for your service. you risked your lives for all of us and for alice state. thank you for defending the independence of our country. take care of yourselves with glory to ukraine. those will dissolve booth slowly

with moscow tightening its grip on the east new battle lines and now being drawn the european union is still divided over banning russian oil. leaders are meeting and brussels to agree on a 6th round of economic sanctions against moscow. but hungary is resisting an oil embargo because it's heavily dependent on supplies from russia. oil embargo, or no oil embargo. e leaders will have their eye on this man to day hungarian prime minister victor all been. well, several you nations say facing our dressing, oil will get expensive. hunger is the only one still open, the blocking it. and urban didn't give his fellow leaders much hope. this will change at this summit. thar, now did he's in agreement. oh, well, now i don't know about that would be acceptable at the moment that we will

compromise with women people to get hungry on side. the ear commission has already watered down its proposal. only russian oil transported by c would be targeted and pipeline oil would be excluded. something which would greatly benefit landlocked hungary the central european country is heavily dependent on russian energy. but that's not enough for organ. he said hungary wanted oil supply guarantees. it's a demand. leaders don't think they'll find a solution for this summit. my expectations are low that it will be solved in the next 48 hours. but i am confident that they're after. there will be a possibility german, gentler or la shoulds, however, hasn't given up ho. he and his colleagues will come up with the united decision elizabeth issue from what i'm hearing itself, if they could be a consensus given crime sooner or later. there will be want to have the distinct

from hockey. either you or countries are getting increasingly irritated. the blog is moving forward. so slowly latvia, which as a border with russia, has been pushing for an embargo on all russian energy. it's only money ukrainians are paying with our lives. and if we get bogged down only in thinking about money, then what is the sense of our union? besides oil leaders are discussing more financial support for ukraine and global food shortages due to the war. but despite a long agenda, it is the deadlock with hungary that overshadows the discussions and from brussels. i'm joined now by any piranha boutique or for a member of the european parliament foreign affairs committee. so very good to have you with us. now sadly, this is not the 1st time that victor alban has tried to push his interest against the other members of the european union. how long can the you accept that?

well, look, we should differentiates between justified concerns that hungary as a land law country. thus in the town and the political games that may be played in order to under caught the solidarity of the union. that's why i think that we should not talk about a watering down of the original proposal from commission. i think the new compromise that commission has put on the table would indeed take into account justified interests of hungry and other lat, blocked nations. and i think at this very moment where it's really difficult to move forward, even though we urgently sure. there's no point in just shouting more loudly from

the roof top. we have to insist on negotiated until we find a conclusive solution. is there an alternative to an oil embargo, an alternative in order to put more pressure on vladimir putin just in case hungary won't agree. look, there's just one alternative to an oil embargo, which is no oral embargo. and that's obviously not a better solution. and whatever else we might come up with as ideas and proposals in order to move forward together the $27.00 half to agree. so i don't think we should fantasize about moving around hungary, they have us at a position where we need to negotiate to achieve a common proposal that can be supported by all the 20. so of course that is always the a mentor. it's also the needs of the set up of the european union that all it's

a 27 member states. find common ground in agree, but let me just put this to you. russia has just stopped sending gas to the netherlands, or at least starting from tomorrow. buggery and poland already exempt. why is the waiting for russia to stop its supply one country after the other before including gas in the sanctions? look, i think you're miss representing the state of play of the state of the discussions where not postponing 8 decisions that we could be taking a just for the sake of beth. there are concerns from many important countries, including my own, which has demonstrated a ad nauseum that it is not possible to stop russian gas import right now. and without being able to find out a substitute. and as long as this is not the case,

i think the talking of war strongly more radically doesn't solve a single problem. so i think we should go step by step. we should now afford a compromise to facilitate the oil embargo, which is certainly much more important economically for cochin because it gives him much more revenue than the gas business dos at if you succeed. if the i'd embargo come sir about it, will it actually change anything in moscow? well, certainly it will change the situation of the russian budget of the russian federations budget relies heavily on those um the, the revenue that they the rise from exporting fossil fuels. right?

any p 9, i did a call for their member of the committee on foreign affairs of the european parliament joining us from brussels. thank you so much for your time. thank you. it is a quick look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. germany's main political parties have agreed to increase defense funding. chancello la shawna has said he wants 100000000000 euros to better equip the armed forces than you deal gets around strict budget rules and helps the german government to meet nato spending goals. a killer whale that was stranded for weeks in the sand river in paris has been found dead. experts had unsuccessfully tried to guided back to see using sona, an autopsy. we'll try to establish why the whale got stranded and how it died. and is expected climate activist has been detained at the louvre gallery in paris. after allegedly trying to vandalized the mona lisa,

the protest. i tried to break the glass protecting the famous portrait before smearing it with cake. he was disguised as an elderly woman in a wheel chair. in columbia, the leftist sen. gustavo petro has won the 1st round of voting and the countries presidential election. the full margarita fighter campaigned on our platform of tackling poverty and crime, while also moving away from oil and mining. petro will now face the populace, independent candidate, rodolfo, hernandez, in a run off boat. next month's colombians are clamoring for ginge. gustavo federal is counting on it to make history the former rebell came out on top in the 1st round of presidential elections. 2 bringing him one step closer to becoming columbia's force left his leader in what is traditionally a conservative country on feel. so i trust colombian

society in its will to change. he knows in the end, there are only 2 options with the, i mean it's a relatively simple choice, rather, less cost of either leave things as they are in columbia while in new york, which in my opinion is more corruption. you're more violence, more hunger math or, or we can change colombia, columbia. federal is a former member of the em 19 gorilla movement. and a former mayor of bo gotta like in his presidential campaign, he has vowed profound economic and social change. a petro presidency would be historic, in more ways than one. his running mate, francy, or marquez, is hoping to become columbia's 1st ever black female vice president. but honestly, the probably any good for us is a black community. it is

a great recognition to see a black press in there. black people have always been enslaved. we have always been at the bottom and to have the opportunity to be there and represent us as black people felt us with pride, navy federal coalition, boat short of the 50 percent needed foreign out great victory. he will now faced populace millionaire rudolfo hernandez in a 2nd round of voting. the man dug columbia. donald trump emerged as a surprise taken place candidate no matter who wins the run off on june 19 changes coming. one way or the other. remember you cranes eurovision song contest winners, carlos orchestra. they have just auctioned off their winners. trophy the glass microphone fetched more than 800000 euros. the money will go to buy equipment for the ukranian army college orchestra won the contest to last month with their song.
