ah, russian forces are making slow but steady progress towards seizing the key city of severity. nat skin ukraine's east for they are facing fierce resistance from ukrainian forces who relinquish some ground, but are holding their line made while the european union discusses its 6th round of a brush and sanctions, including an embargo on oil imports. there the line isn't so strong. i'm fil gale and this is the day. ah, it's never been easy. it's the same now with a 6 package. broad economic sanctions, including oil, including gas, to start moscow of funds and now out of room,
12:03 am
we have got the idea. i am bored when sanctions on oil does. this only works if everyone sees and serves as part of a community law that annoy agreement. the owner is still better than nothing. he for european union, the 90 percent are behind the oil embargo. it's important to the site. i know we have to stop the funding of russian machine also on the day, a surprise result from the 1st round of presidential elections in columbia where the candidate with the most votes is a former leftist gorilla fighter. will be, i mean it's a relatively simple choice model. let's go so either leave things as they are in columbia while in new york, which in my opinion is more corruption, more violence, your names, more hunger math or, or we can change colombia, columbia. welcome to the day
12:04 am
a russian forces of entered the outskirts of the eastern ukrainian city of savannah . done yet, scarce ukraine says its troops are battling to hold their positions after days of intense sharing devoted su, so threatened by rushes, pushed to capture the whole of the don bos, industrial region, residents, the landscape as almost all the cities infrastructure has been destroyed, and most buildings damaged, the fear is that severity and ask will follow mary up all by falling into russian hands. will this be a copy of mattie you pull? as the russian army intensifies its assault in the loo, hantz region, the town of severe internet's looks like it's moscow's newest target. the devastation, intense 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 the
12:05 am
governor of lou hanson said the continent shelling makes it impossible to count casualties. the push confirms russian forces objective to capture the entire dumbass region, which the kremlin is calling an unconditional priority. the fighting has made evacuating besieged towns across the don baths dangerous. but aid groups are working to rescue the sick and injured. want to go most of them of wounded people who ah, advocate in uh from the hospitals sir, are in eastern regents this him not safe anymore and to leave upgrade them to their hospitals in western ukraine and leave it at knoxville and dis on auto for that of them and to give them proper medical care. amid the russian onslaught, keith is counting its victories. on sunday precedence, lensky visited the war ravaged city of har. keith recently reclaimed by ukrainian
12:06 am
fighters. it was zalinski, his 1st trip to the embattled east. since the invasion, and he took the time to meet and decorate the front line troops. with all those low voices was i want to thank each of you for your service. you risked your lives for all of us and for our state. thank you for defending the independence of our country. take care of yourself, glory to ukraine, dissolving with moscow tightening its grip on the east. new battle lines are now being drawn until they show. we'll look at the battles on the ground in ukraine and in the political sphere in brussels as a you tries to wrangle hungary into line with majority thinking on russian sanctions 1st said to justin crump. he's the c e o of the security analysis company a. similarly, he joins a cert from the u. k. welcome to d w. so by all account,
12:07 am
russian artillery, just flattening everything in sight. does this sound like an army intent on actually occupying this territory? if it captures it, unfortunately, yes, it does. so if you remember of course of the pictures of maria pole and the devastation cause that i think the same question asked by many observed times they call possible means capture the city level of destruction they are. and this goes far beyond, i think capture in terms of resources will capture to take the city and occupy them . we didn't have it since the way they would have been before the complex ready. it's become, or has always ugly, been a matter of pride, prestige, and national identity for the russians. i think the occupation of territory on the ground within the ukraine. the russian senior leadership is suddenly convinced is russian should be russian. is that primary concern?
12:08 am
hence, the focus on the dumbass at this time. and despite the untold suffering being cause in the cities, i think the rushing point of view, the eventual occupation is the and go, right. so take it at all costs and what sort of costs are involved in this? because we know that the ukraine is, as is suffering casual tis, russia must be to resist it. how damaging is this for them? ross is really oversee changed it strategy and its tactics throughout the course of the conflict in the 4th month. now of the conflict and rush, i think focusing on smaller and smaller areas deploying more and more power to achieve its ends. and actually that has been useful for us in that it has reduce their overall rate of loss compared to the earlier days of operations. with a large you took more risk. that's changing a little bit at the moment though. the,
12:09 am
remember the fail river crossings that are taking place a few weeks ago, you probably saw the footage of those tanks spread out along the river. banks destroyed during it's very risky river crossing and actually the timing of attacking. so i don't, it's now head on without cutting it off, which i think conventional wisdom, when it's just it that the russians would have sought to do 1st is at least much larger, close the ring to the west of the city. it does imply a degree of urgency in potentially fight carelessness of lives. so continuing in order to achieve certain goals. and that might well be because they couldn't cross the river previously, but the plan says they should be catching about the next. now they've gone ahead and calculate the time it's, you credit supply lines is significant enough. they've got a chance to, to take it in the head on salt at this point. and so while, as this happens, what we have western countries promising millions in terms of aid and supplies, how much is actually reaching you crane has actually got in there yet. and what sort of effect is it happen?
12:10 am
is it having goodman certainly has got in. we've seen new donation equipment, an action in ukraine, but the em triple 7 houses to toad artillery pieces that have been used. and these are started to give ukraine an edge in terms of range of their artillery. but they still lack numbers compared to russia. and that's why ukraine keeps asking for more support. this time we've gone through a pattern where your crime is asking for most for the own. went through a phase of saying that she were happy with what were guessing. thank you and is now back to saying that she really needs more help. and i think rushes is support for ukraine will diminish over time. is western nations confront other problems like stagflation, like energy problems like cost, the living crises. and the, this is part of the strategy of the crate, and that was, he says, to get the supplies, it needs to maintain its defense against russia. so that's now we're looking at
12:11 am
very closely to see how this a bose. there is no game changing piece of equipment. everything ukraine gets helps it strike back more effectively against russia and effectively follow that pattern of doing as much damage as possible for every meter that the russia can gain is just making moscow pay a very high price for it. that's where the ukraine strategy at this point. that's very clear. thank you so much for joining us. security analyst just in crump, from sibling thank ah, to fighting are on the ground there in ukraine and squabbling in brussels as european leaders try to agree at embargo on russian oil. the to day talks have been complicated by opposition from hungary, which is heavily dependent on russian oil. you leaders expected to propose a compromise that would allow it to continue to receive oil by pipeline. with sanctions only blocking shipments by sea. ukrainian, president volume is allowed to appeal to the a you to act decisively. that is,
12:12 am
to my problem. it is the quarrels in europe must end of even these internal disputes only encourage russia to put more and more pressure on europe. these would be the 6th sanctions package, must be agreed to us that it must be effective and include oil. i get my bill to russia must be made to feel the consequences of what it's doing to ukraine and to the whole of europe that there should be brought to green. he brought the c e robot . andrea parham anchor as an assistant professor of finance and business economics of the university of southern california is also part of the global collective economists for ukraine. he joins us from carry in italy, welcome. i'm a senior estimate that you are paying a rush or something like $285000000.00 a day for its oil. is it practicable to reduce this to 0? well, what we have seen today during, during this time it is that the sessions that are being discussed are only
12:13 am
appliance or the tanker tanker shipments and not full shipments. and we have to think, we have to think not only about the volume but the, the prices as well because there is a global impact on oil prices. the discussion assumptions on the expectation of sanctions. and even if we do to decrease the amount of muscle oil that ross, i have been to europe, the price of the euro, the uniform pay may still be relatively high. so i think a practice practical approach would be to reduce oil should muster 0 and visible to do that. europe is not as dependent on oil as it is dependent on ross and gas. and routes are just for term use. pretty sensible to substitute. the oil ships from russia, with oil shipped from the rest of the world. and how much is the use dealing over this issue itself, affecting fuel prices?
12:14 am
this, this is the issue that i mentioned before. so the very fact that there was uncertainty about tax cons, create uncertainty, and the market for oil, which pushes up prices. so foil. and in fact, if we look at the revenue, so rush after the war, the revenues have not the revenue so not fall in at all. so russia still ers, pretty much at least as much money as it used to me before the war started. ok, so that's fuel, let's also talk about food. we'll hear from the use high representative for foreign affairs, joseph brown, and then come back to we cannot create, i'm going to world, that's what i would think he's doing, is avoiding lamenting policy, destroy ristocki pipe of wheat, and do something with the concert we have to say something because he's a big ratio is going to be very damaging for a lot of countries around the world. under bohaman co,
12:15 am
russia says it will help avoid a global food crisis by creating export to corridors out of ukraine. if sanctions lifted does that sound like a good deal? well, it's not surprising that ross ice trying to use any bargaining ships that pass and it doesn't have as many. i think the irony of the situation is that the countries that will be hurt by the absence of source of grains from, from your brain and russia are the countries that did not impose sanctions and rationing the 1st place. i'm talking about countries in the middle east and north africa, and i think the question is whether you would want to do, i would want to do something to help those countries. and of course, it would hurt for general interest in countries to sheetrock of sanctions. a situation like this may, may,
12:16 am
may also the european union for more readily unfortunately. so these, these to us in brussels are about the 5th round of sanctions. we are an unprecedented level of sanctions. how much affect all they actually are having on russia and its economy? well, so the 2 biggest sanctions that any country could impose in russia are essential, some oil, and even more on gas. and we see some progress on oil. we don't see much progress on gas and unfortunately, some likely we'll see a lot of progress and gas because europe is so much dependent on it. now, when talking about the textbook, we should distinguish short term from the long term. we see some type of sanctions on the rational economy right now. the effect is very moderate, but i think it may intensify in the long run. as the long run aside of which is in
12:17 am
trade links are realized. however, again, the fax will be more durant unless there are serious sanctions on oil along the lines that are discussed at the a, b or b in union council this week. and even more if we talk, you will start thinking about central. so guess right so, so these really are the ones that everyone needs to pay attention to. thank you so much for explaining that to to us andrew, pa, hancock from the university of southern california. thanks for having me. oh, that's a columbia. why the leftist satisfies gustavo petro has won the 1st round of voting and the countries presidential election form a given. and man of bugger talk campaigned on a platform of tackling poverty and crime. 11 face a populist independent candidate, rodolfo, and on this and then run off vote. next month colombians are clamoring for
12:18 am
change in gustavo federal is counting on it to make history. the former rebell came out on top in the 1st round of presidential elections, bringing him one step closer to becoming columbia's 1st left his leader in what is traditionally a conservative country can feel sources i trust colombian, society in its will to change channels in the end there are only 2 options will at the i mean it's a relatively simple choice without a last cause of either leave things as they are in columbia while in melbourne, which in my opinion is more corruption, more violence feelings, more hunger, math or, or we can change colombia, columbia federal is a former member of the m 19 gorilla movement and
12:19 am
a former mayor of borgata like a list in his presidential campaign he has vowed profound economic and social change. a bedroom presidency would be historic in more ways than one. his running mate, francy marquez, is hoping to become columbia's 1st ever black female vice president. but another, probably, any good for us is a black community. it is a great recognition to see a black press in there that 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 fill us with pride. that draws coalition that short of the 50 percent needed foreign al great victory. he will now be a populous millionaire, rudolfo hernandez, in a 2nd round. avoiding the man dubbed columbia donald trump emerged as a surprise taken place candidate no matter who wins the run off. on june
12:20 am
19 changes coming one way or the other. as shown date of the correspondent, johan ramirez and the columbia, the capital budget are welcome johan. so this is an intriguing run off. we have both contenders, left and right. both anti establishment figures. what, why is columbia turned away from its mainstream conservative leaders? because the political parties have been unable to offer solutions to the colombians . i mean for dec as they have any power and have been unable to carve violence, drug traffic in the security poverty inequality. and that was flagrant last year when in the midst of the pan demik in the midst of the log down the brought the country into a deep economic crisis. the government of now going president,
12:21 am
yvonne duke proposed the tax reform in order to increase taxes to the middle class . it provoked a wave of protest that led to clashes month of clashes between them, the demonstrators, under the state security forces. but it was the proof that the political elite was completely disconnected from the needs of the citizens, and now they are paying the price of this disconnection because yesterday, columbia said enough is enough. you the political class, you had your time to solve our problems and you didn't, and that's why they are not out of the raise for the 2nd round. ok. and so we have both candidates promising a change. so that just took us briefly through the, the sort of changed the country can expect, depending on who wins in june. we have 2 different regions of the country on one hand, gustavo petro, a former glory, a fighter leftist candidate who promises more social policies,
12:22 am
who promises grants to poor people on is threatening the presence of the state in rural areas. on the other hand, we have a role for 9 to 77 years old business man, very rich business man committee, a lot of money in the construction business. he's an outsider. he has very little political experience. that's why many people compare revolt fernandez with donald trump. many people call him to columbia and donald trump, he is more oriented in relaunching the economy, building back confidence with private national. i'm for rein investment on his main flag. it is a fight against corruption. so in the words, those are the 2 visions. no, not that will face off in the 2nd round as a, just have a, petro is a member of a good group, but one storm the supreme court, and despite they still receive 40 percent of the vote. what, what does this tell us about? colombia is attitude to its former and indeed active gorilla armies.
12:23 am
columbus suffered they civil war, the last said more than 50 or so. in this country, every one is victim of the conflict. when you talk to colombian, every one has a brother, a family member, brother, or father and mother, a friend who was killed during the war. so very few people justify violence. every one rejects the war, rejects the gorillas. however, as you said, gustavo, petro got 40 per cent of super to last night. they think that he has been very clever in, in cleaning up his past and cleaning up his reputation to overcome the stigma. been a, a former gary defied there as well as other stigmas. for example, he has been in politics for 30 years. he was, he was even, may, you're off boggled that the capital city. and even though he presents himself as her a renewal of the political class here in columbia, so he has been very clever in cleaning up his reputation and his past. so what i'm
12:24 am
trying to say is that this 40 percent of support that he got yesterday. i don't think this is 40 percent of columbia subordinate, former gary, a fighter, i think that it, this is more about a very successful political campaign there has managed to clean up and to rewrite their past of style bedroom. thank you for that. your hand. i was will speak again . i didn't really correspond to your hunt, ramirez in bonita. ah, now an attempt by china to secure a sweeping security and tre deal with 10 south pacifica islands remains elusive chinese foreign minister. a wang ye had hoped to sign an agreement during the stop in fiji as part of his diplomatic tour of the region. he came away from a virtual meeting with his south pacific counterpart without a deal, and urging them not to be too anxious about his country's aims in the region. he promised to claire there. we hope to from john, after the meeting,
12:25 am
china will release its own position paper on our own positions, propositions, and cooperation proposals with pacific island countries for vanda and going forward we will continue to have ongoing, an in depth discussions and consul junction rory metcalf is head our a why china has been unable to get the security and economic deals in the pacific over the life. well, this is a significant 9 that in china's attempt to dominate the pacific. and i think china has overreach. so i think we're seeing a convergence of several factors in the past few days. the, the overreach, the hubris, if you, like, all china and foreign minister, while you seem to, to, to read many countries into a many dimensional agreements, security,
12:26 am
economics, culture, development, fisheries, etc. and of course, there was gonna be authorization, so i think what's happening now is divisiveness that china is bringing to the region and the cracks the division of the beginning. because the small countries cannot reach consensus on dealing with china. therefore, they will put on the shelf. but the other piece of puzzle i think, is the way that the new australian government has been showing real leadership, real engagement with pacific country. not telling them to refuse or ignore china, but to remind them that the choices that by making about the development for the long and if they had been to read the fine print that they need. and in addition, when you are striving government language, government as a much more progressive foreign policy than the last one and the pool killing pacific countries, what they need to hear from astray on climate change,
12:27 am
which is obviously an issue for them. so it is an important way as were re medical from the national security college at the austrian national university in cobra, and that was the day as ever the conversation continues on my new climate. so on twitter, ant d w news or at phil guy. thanks for watching. have a good day. ah ah ah
