ah ah ah, this is the w news line from the in russian forces for steven into the craig in city or severe done that or forces for the city could follow body or falling, falling to the russian onslaught after weeks of relentless bombardment. also on the program, europe divided over sanctions on russian oil hungary holds out against

a balance of a you member states pushed for a compromised kurdish refugee saying that being stopped from returning to their homes. more than 2 years after turkish forces seize control of notice to look at turkey's plans to be settled, the region. ah, i'm fil gail. welcome to the program. russian forces of an to the outskirts of the city of severity done at skin easton, ukraine. cave says its troops are battling to hold our positions, street by street. after days of intense shelling, severe de netscape, so threatened by rushes, pushed to kept the whole of the east an industrial region of dumbass, ukrainian president vladimir savanski says almost all of the cities infrastructure has been destroyed and most buildings damaged. it's feared the city will follow

mario paul and fall into russian hands. will this be a copy of mary paul? as the russian army intensifies the salt in the loo hands region, the city of savannah done yet look like it's is moscow's newest target, the devastation. intent shelling has already destroyed critical infrastructure and russian troops and now advancing into the city. the largest 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 baths region, which the kremlin is calling an unconditional priority. the fighting has made evacuating besieged towns across the don best dangerous, but

a groups a working to rescue the sick and injured working program. most of them of wounded people who i advocate in from the hospitals in eastern regents the tumult safe fennimore, and to leave upgrade them to the hospitals in western grain and leave it at local and dis on to prove that of them and to give them proper medical care, amid the russian onslaught, keith is counting its 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. were all going. hello. oh yes. 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 glory to ukraine. those will dissolve booth slow with moscow tightening its grip on the east. new battle lines and now being drawn we can join date of new corresponded matuse, building a who's in the ukranian capital. welcome. a mathias. let's start with the dog bass . or what's the latest on the fighting? the yes, so we have just report returned from a 10 day trip there. and during that time we've really seen the situation getting worse and worse, the city of civil or the netscape, or almost inaccessible for days. now we know that thousands of people are trapped there. the, there's only one bridge operating and this bridges is constantly shells and the, the russians are now advancing is probably something that was expected because they

have really put a lot of firepower onto a conquering the city. they have really concentrated troops. they have been shelling the city indiscriminately and most of the buildings are destroyed. we would, there is sister city which sits just on the other side of the river. this a chance can we were there a few days ago and you could see that all over the city of see that on. yes, it's a little bit higher there. so you could look over everywhere. there was smoke and this is the tactics they are using. now is a scorched earth tactics. they raise everything with artillery. they have a lot of artillery, they have a lot of ammunition. and then they march in it's the question is whether this will give them really a strategic gain. that's another question. but it looks like they, they are attaining their goals when they really concentrate their fire power. this way that they raise the city and then they march. right? because we see it in the past, how ukrainian forces have beaten russian forces back. but now, with all this,

miss massey fire turned on the region. things appear to be turning in rushes favor there. yes, russia has more firepower, and a russia has probably concentrated more troops. there were, although we don't know the exact number. but that means also that in other regions, russia has not the same concentration of troops and we are seeing ukrainian advances. we've seen some in the hark if they have their stalled now, they're not making much progress there. but now in the south, ukraine has made some progress towards the city, of course, on this so far from the city itself. but there are some advances there. so in the one, in one place, tides turned into favor of russia. in other places, they might still turn in favor of ukraine. so this is not a decision yet. ukraine has also been able to hold back russia in the don bus in other places that as so she'd typically important russia has been trying, instead of marching into the city directly to cut it off to surrounded. this has

not worked so far. they have come pretty close to that, but then they would beaten back by ukraine. so it's everything is still not decided . they're like a quick word on the announcement from us present. joe biden, that america will not give you a great long range rockets that could reach russian soil and has that gone down? well, the question is whether ukraine was really hoping for long range massage that could, that can hit russian soil. and the question is also what that means. i mean, if you are at the border, you can hit russian soil even with the water. right? so it's, it's not quite clear what it really means. what ukraine needs most now is middle range artillery and rockets, motive, multiple rocket launchers, that's what they wish for that can destroy the russian positions on ukrainian soil . for example, in the don bus. and as far i've understood it now,

the president has not excluded that, but i think that we need some more clarity on what is what he really means by that . i think what's pretty clear is that nobody would want ukraine to attack cities in russia massively for fear of escalation that might be behind this decision by the president, by the president of the united states. thank you. mathias matuse of believe in keith or the european union remains divided over banning our russian oil leaders a meeting in brussels to try and arrange a 6th round of economic sanctions against moscow. but hungary resisting an oil in bunker because it is so heavily dependent on russian supplies, oil embargo, or no oil embargo. e leaders will have their eye on this man to day hungarian prime minister, victor alban, whatever you nations say, facing our address and oil will get expensive. hunger is the only one,

still openly blocking it and or been didn't give his fellow leaders match ho. this will change at this summit thar, now that he's in agreement, oh, well, now i don't know about that. i know mike will be acceptable at the moment, but we will compromise with mormon proposed to get hungry and size. 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 know that it will be solved in the

next 48 hours, but i am confident that they're, after there will be a possibility. german chandler or law shoulds however, hasn't given up ho he and his colleagues will come up with the united decision. and this last issue of what i'm hearing of vance is over, there could be executive hunter and sooner or later on just getting them or either your 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, is only money. ukrainians are paying with their license if we get bogged down only in thinking about money. but then what is the sense of our union? besides oil e o, leaders are discussing more financial support for ukraine and global food shortages due to the war. but despite a long agenda, it is the deadline with hungary that overshadows the discussions. let's look at

this with daniel baylock. he's a canadian lawyer living in ukraine. he's previously worked as chief investment advisor to the prime minister. now he's a member of the countries, a territorial defense forces. welcome to d, w. a. let's start with with this, this, this problems with a hungry over this issue. what would be your message to, to victor or banner to hungry? a country that imports about 80 percent of its gas, 65 percent of its oil from russia, which is presumably why it is so keen to block the a you sanctions talks. what would be your message to them? well, i certainly would echo the foreign ministers or comments, but there's a strong perception in ukraine that there's a political dimension to all of this. not just commercial or economic. mr. urban has had designs on western part of ukrainian territory for a long time, the kind of plot, and he talks about their hungarians there,

even though it's the hungarian ethnic minority where you granted citizens and has a very extra territorial ambitions in this regard. fact our or the secretary of the national student defense council said that we had evidence that there was a deal with that if he took over your brain, that 100 gets a. so i don't think this is benign. i think there, you know, he's, he's proven to be a master over the years at extracting a weapon ising his veto in the you. and i really think the even need to take a look at how the consensus voting works is that to work properly. we will need to be aligned with their values and ok. so you know, you suspect tell, tell me about that. how important is it to you crane that the you reach agreement on blocking russian or an important yeah. it's, it's critical. i mean it's,

it's absolutely unconscionable that the was paying 1500000000 euros a day to finance is war against ukraine. and ukraine's probably had $2.00 to $3000000000.00 assistance in total from the you since that time, and some of it and load some of it in grass. so this is essentially the financing state terrorism. and this is, this would be a very, this is not just an economic issue. this is, this is a moral issue and it needs to stop. they need to find a way to do this. so those figures on a u, a u x, but they the amount that the pay for russian fuel versus the amount of grants for the given to you claim that really puts it into stock. contrast, i'm moving away from fuel and looking at the food crisis is being caused by, by this war. as russia brock's ukrainian grain exports. moscow says it will help by creating an export car doors out of ukraine. if international sanctions lifted. and

i'm guessing that this is a deal that you, you feel does not deserve consideration. well, you know, if their lips are moving there lined basically, and you know, there was a very famous german named bismark who said that any, any thing that the russians write down as a treaty isn't worth the paper. it's written on. of course they're going to renee, of course, they will just for the russians. any form of compromise is a sign of weakness. you know, you and nato. i mean, you can't do this on its own. i mean, and everybody recognizes this, but you know, in conjunction with nato and other countries of the willing and perhaps under un auspices, there needs to be a court or there needs to the mines need to be cleared. and the russians need to be told that this is just going to happen because it's there. we can't avoid showdown with them because they will always weapon everything, including food. as we've seen,

400000000 people relax. grant. will they just all not point of we have countries like cameroon can yet nigeria, who are suffering massy food insecurity because of a will half way around the world that has nothing to do with them. so what's your message to them if you say, well, we're not, we're not gonna, we're not going to do a deal with russia in this way because we don't believe them. so what do you tell them? well, i would tell them that they need to get the security council. we need to have russia removed from the security council. we need to un general assembly resolution . there were put an international flotilla into the black sea, which after all is international waters. it's not russia bathtub, that's what they would like to be. and to create a corridor or a safe haven for the ships. so, you know, we're, we're the ones that were invaded were the ones doing the fighting. were the ones we're doing the dying. and somehow we're,

we're the ones that have to compromise. this is classic, you know, nobody wants to take on russia. and so you appease u a. p u a piece. and this is where appeasement has got us. the has been an enormous enabler of russia for the last, at least the last 8 years. we've been telling that we've been at work with russia since 2014. and we have been telling the west over and over and over again that this is going to happen, right? nobody wanted to believe is everybody was on, on the take on. so that's very clear, daniel, be back in from a territorial defense for to thank you. so much for joining to me. thanks for having me. here monetary and crew, so water that aid projects across africa threatened by the war in ukraine to vote. agencies in somalia, a price hike to have caused by the conflict. mean, millions are at risk of farming. alterations from rich countries are being diverted to help you create this report includes the images that you may find upsetting at

just 5 and a half kilos. one year old, her son weighs half of what a boy his age should, he's being treated for severe acute malnutrition, at this somali camp for displaced families. but global price shocks caused by the war and ukraine mean that access to life saving food supplies is becoming increasingly difficult. i fled from astra bob and the severe drought that hit our village and we lost our livestock. i didn't receive any aid there and my child is very sick. and underaged here in somalia, severe drought, and the rise of the alphabet militant group have already left millions desperate for aid. now the fallout from the war in ukraine is only adding to the pressure food and fuel prices have risen sharply since february on top of record highs caused by the coven. 19 pandemic. a commodity price have almost doubled

in somalia. and there is some pots, like c percent type, the humanitarian, a p for some others, only 50 percent funded. so what we need now is right now is money. we need the cash divert and the rest were farming. since the war in ukraine began, international aid to africa has dropped significantly. many donor countries have diverted funds to support more than 6000000 refugees fleeing the fighting in ukraine. and the u. n. has warned that prices will continue to rise, putting many of africa's most vulnerable in danger of starvation. germany's main political parties have agreed to increase defense funding by a 100000000000 euros. as chancellor shaw says he wants to modernize the country's armed forces. germany military has long been under financed and poorly equipped. his new deal gets around strict budget rules and helps the government at meet nato

spending goals. all of shells says the new funding arrangements made germany will make a great contribution to european security. thoughts upon this year, the german goodness vow will be strengthened, it will be able to fulfill its defence mission better than ever before. and it will be able to make its contribution to nato, so that we can defend ourselves against attacks at any time on either side of the other. so, to do doubly political corresponded, leoni fun. hammerstein, welcome, lonely. as i understand that this is about building a special 100000000000 euro funds for the german army into the constitution, which sounds like a significant change. is it? yeah, it is a pretty significant change. and because you mentioned that germany has bends, an infamous the little money on its defense over the last decade. much to the criticism of nato allies who have long been demanding that germany need it's nate

obligations and raises defend spending above 2 percent of g d. p. i'm una burnsville officials have been complaining for years that germany's unable to defend its country is neglecting the ability to defend its country and its partners . and there are many stories about how massive the shortcomings and off the shortage of comedy ready equipment. and ammunition really is a recent brentwood says only 40 percent off the bonus, this helicopters at home and ready. and, but we also have to remember the context, you know, for decades, germany has been extraordinarily wary off building up its military power because of its history and because of the destruction abroad on the continent and beyond during world war 2. and so that is kind of the context in which we have to see this change and we'll have choice. we heard him there, you know. and so this russia's war against ukraine has basically led to a reckoning of decades off,

foreign and defense and policy. and he is now emphasized that germany needs to be able to defend himself. so this is expected for fishes excited to go to a voted parliament on friday. is it like me to prove controversial? well, i mean, it is and isn't so yes, it has been controversial discussed over the last months. and especially, you know, with any parties, especially on the left side of the political spectrum. so parts of the green party you see themselves as a pacifist party, pulse of the social democrats and most vocally the left party. and they have criticized that, as you said, you know, this does extra funds that it's now going to be anchored in the constitution based ski and goes around germany is very strict fiscal laws and it said m finds, it's hard to explain to voters why a 100000000000 euros can be spent on defense when other areas of society also need urgent investments, like climates and protection like education,

like infrastructure. so the law that has been sort of moodily opposing this, but what i feel it needs a 2 thirds majority and to pass this. and he has that majority of his coalition practice at backing this. and so is, and the biggest opposition party in german parliament and the conservative you. so we are expecting and the vote to pass this week. ok, thank you for that very fun homicide electric. look at some other stories making news around the world will saw to in columbia. why left? hyster, gustavo petro has come out on top of the 1st round of presidential elections. a form of guerrilla fighter and marriage bogota campaigned on like a platform of tackling poverty crime. in our face, the independent candidate, rodolfo hernandez, in a rough borders of 20 on victims of a plane crash in the polls, had been flown to the capital, cut mud, do a smaller craft carrying 22 people went missing on route from the tourist town. for
