10:00 am
ah ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin. the european union agrees to ban most russian oil imports by the end of this year. after weeks of infighting you members states reach a compromise that will allow some oil to keep flowing. still new leaders are hailing it as a blow to financing rushes war machine. also coming up,
10:01 am
russian forces pushed deeper into the eastern ukrainian city of seattle. the net authorities fear the city could meet the same fate as mario pool, which rushes bombardment all but flat. and a life saving example of israeli palestinian corporation, israeli volunteers, chauffeur, palestinian patients past checkpoints, so they can get state of the art medical treatment in israel w rides along one of these special journeys. ah i'm gathers welcome to the program. european union leaders have agreed to a partial ban on russian oil imports. that's the toughest sanctions imposed on russia since the invasion of ukraine. the deal is the result of difficult
10:02 am
negotiation simone man to states that ended in concessions to some e u. countries which are heavily dependent on russian oil, oil pumped from russian fields is no longer welcome. in most parts of the u. e. u. leaders in brussels reached an unexpected breakthrough on the 6th sanctions package just around midnight column. so should now be able to finalize a ban on almost 90 percent of all russian oil inputs by the end of the year with the embargo. a move that had been proposed by the commission weeks ago. and the ukranian president had urged leaders to finally make, keep, or don't do. you've roba, my europe must show strength with you, because only russia perceives power as an arguments. it is time, but it is time for you to be not separate, not fragments, but one hope mil lumpkin, i given him. ceiling. however, member states are still not entirely united on the issue that you plans to cut
10:03 am
russian oil transported by see only a concession made in order to get hungary on board. hungarian prime minister victor, oregon has formed close ties with russia in the past, making the country heavily dependent on russian energy. hungary will be able to continue to receive oil by pipeline for now. the sanctions package also excludes russia's largest bank from the swift system benz 3 more russian state own broadcasters and sanctions individuals responsible for war crimes. some leaders like the lottery and prime minister, have called to go even further now. but opinions differ from out men perspective, from my perspective, will temporarily have reached our limit definitely regarding sanctions that have to do with energy thes, the to mark and have been met in are here despite hungary not playing along. the latest round of sanctions are believed to be some of the most damaging measures
10:04 am
taken by the you so far. and we are now joined by me car critique in isn't orland gas expert currently based in also in norway. because how much is this partial orland vargo really going to hurt russia's ball machine? well, i think it is not just the war machine, but the russian buds at the raven use of the russian bards are going to suffer if the embargo goes into effect in full force. by the end of this year, i believe the of the revenues of the russian bronson will be a less 25 percent, at least because it is not just the oil which you will stock more with to europe. it will be refined, broader to petroleum, broader as well, and some of the rest of the refineries will have to seize operations, as well as oil producing sites. and some companies that service dual and gas
10:05 am
industry will also lose their contracts. but this is a tremendously, a large effect negative effect on the rest of the bus. but the u has been discussing an oil embargo for weeks. it did not give russia time to prepare for this. i do not think resar has prepared for anything. they will just declarations that the flow of oil instead of europe will go somewhere to china or india. but if we take a look at the transportation, the roots, the chain, they are good. they are filled to capacity. and you can look at the ball then, maybe $5000000.00 a year, who the $80000000.00 pounds a year that the us exports to china right now. and india is not going to absorb more than $6.00 to $7000000.00, or they will lose our microscopic if we can compare them to the
10:06 am
bottom of crude oil deliver to europe. it is about 2 and about 110000000 cubic meters a year. so the european ban is a very and very sensitive for us. now the, what impact will these energy sanctions have on? so the big russian population on the average russian well, we see that there will be a 1st unemployment. i receive reports from doyle and guess produce some areas in the north part of the western siberia and some, all of the settlements around produce and sites are being depopulated. people are just a go from there work places. those saw where warmer climates in the central russia and unemployment is going to be
10:07 am
a very strong oil and gas expert. because critiquing and also for us. thank you very much. thank russian forces have entered the city of seattle to netscape in the east and ukraine. keith says its troops are battling to hold their position street by street. of the days of intense shelling, rushes pushing to seize the entire eastern region of dawn boss, which has already been partially in separate his hands since 2014. across president, blog, mozilla lensky, says seattle, the nets has seen widespread destruction. similar to what happened in the port city of murray, a pool a city under siege. savannah. danielle has been battered by intense shelling for weeks. now russian forces have entered the city and fears a growing that it may share mary repulse fate. thousands of civilians are thought
10:08 am
to still be in the city, the largest in the loo, hence region, still held by ukraine. according to the mare, the relentless bombardment has left it impossible to keep track of casualties with russia, bringing its overwhelming advantage in artillery to bear in its assault on the don bass, ukraine is pleading with its allies to provide it with more advanced long range weapon systems. do us was reportedly considering the move, the president biden has now thrown that into doubt a rock with the rock. but while ukraine's allies debate, russia continues to concentrate its fire power. in the dawn bass, with some of the fighting has reached its maximum intensity with russian troops
10:09 am
firing along the entire line of contact and trying to fire artillery deep into our defenses. at the same time, his salt is continuing in several directions. they can call them up to him to the now at least ukraine forces continue to fight on in the face of the russian onslaught. dw correspondence rebecca writ as is following developments from the ukrainian capital keith and little earlier i asked her for an update about the latest from cfo the nets yesterday, despite ukraine's best efforts to hold back russians out of that city of severity. and yet they did manage to break through that defense line and they are now fighting street to street in the city. and it looks like they are taking going to be able to take control of that city. it is the last remaining ukrainian stronghold in lieu hans russia controls 95 percent of that region. if they do manage to take this city, which is looking pretty likely now it will may control pretty much the entirety of
10:10 am
the honda can then they can re focus their efforts and trying to take the rest of the dumbass that done yet. region as so they are definitely they have the upper hand in that in that in that dumbass area. the government here has been saying that to some days now and it certainly looking like they are going to take control of hans in the next few days. now ukrainian forces have beaten russian force back in the past with as us saying, rush seems to be having the upper hand. that is, the ties now turning in rushes favor you are well, ukraine has been saying that for some days already that they have that they're losing the battle. they're in the don't basset. they have lost the upper hand. in fact, that the tide is already turned in favor of russia. they simply just out numbered when it comes to heavy weaponry. russia has a huge pile of heavy weapons. they've been bombarding these cities and areas for weeks now simply just flattening these areas. when your introduction and you spoke
10:11 am
about that sarah didn't yet being like and tim out of you paul, that other city in the south of ukraine that was completely bombarded for months. and that certainly what's happening in these regions as well. get hot people there civilians, they're just living on the ground in severity. the next you're talking about 12 to 13000 people living almost completely on the ground. the governor, they're saying that around 1500 people have been killed in that city alone. but that have, they've had to stop counting the dead because these heavy weapons it is coming in so strong that it's too, it's too safe enough to go out and count the casualties. so these things happening at new crane just add pains to try and stop them, but they're not able to to, to fight the russians with the weaponry that they have. rebecca used to be covering the war on the ground there for many weeks now. the average ukrainians, are they still in the mood to fight always that resilience which we saw at the beginning, slowly eroding i would say absolutely not. you know,
10:12 am
ukrainians remain really united behind this fight. they're there. they won't they country to do absolutely. everything they can to try and push russia back outside the pre war lines. and there was some talk in the beginning president zalinski saying that they would try and retake areas taken earlier on in the previous 20142015 at times. but actually that, that, that tune is changing from ukraine. presidents zalinski sent now saying it's probably not going to mean they're not going to be able to retake areas such as crimea, but that they are determined to push back behind those pre february 24 lines. and people here in the capital and elsewhere in the country in the west. certainly united behind that i met with some people on the weekend, some key of residents who were, you know, training at just civilian civilians who are training to take up arms in case it's up to time. they fear that russia might come back to the capital to other parts
10:13 am
away from the don bertha into more central parts of the country. people saying that they are absolutely determined that they will not have their culture stamped out. so i think that definitely remaining united behind the font get funded, becker is reported from fee of that. thank you. ukraine's top prosecutor is due to meet her counterpart from the international criminal court in the hague. later today, they'll be looking at how best to coordinate investigations into alleged war crimes by russian soldiers in ukraine. some trials have already begun faced, meticulous documentation on the ground. but investigating potential war crimes could be more of a challenge in regions where russia has taken control. a warning annexed her report contains some disturbing images from the start. images that no one should have to see civilians strewn across the street in butcher the immediate aftermath of a strike on a maternity hospital in mary
10:14 am
u. pole. a mass grave holding the unidentified bodies of fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, grand parents, and children after ukrainian fighters pushed russian forces back from towns and villages they'd occupied evidence of atrocities began to pile up all being documented by human rights groups. ukrainian officials and journalists on the ground. now, almost 2 months later, you cranes, prosecutor general, says investigations are underway into well over 10000 suspected war crimes. ranging from pillaging and looting, rape and summary execution, to indiscriminate bombing of civilian infrastructure. the 1st war crimes trial concluded last week, resulting in a guilty verdict for
10:15 am
a 21 year old russian soldier, charged with shooting an unarmed ukrainian man. but in the eastern don bass region where the war is still being fought, tracking down evidence and prosecuting potential war crimes could prove a lot more difficult in the southern city of mar, you poll aerial pitches showed the word children dogged outside the theatre building. that was hit by russian asked, writes in march and associated press investigation suggests as many as 600 people may have been killed that as they storm shelter. ukraine says russia knew it was a civilian target. now, mary, you poll is in russian hands and an independent investigation at the site has been impossible. exactly who and how many people died there may never be known.
10:16 am
in april satellite images showed apparent mass graves near the city. local officials say up to $9000.00 bodies could be buried that victims of russian aggression. they say what? now russia is focusing its assault on the loo hunt region. the fear is if more towns and cities fall under russian control, the harder it will become to investigate potential war crimes and hold any one there to account. earlier i spoke to shoe williamson from human rights watch in berlin, and i asked him how long it could actually take to investigate the thousands of suspected war crimes in ukraine the morning. thanks for having me. and i certainly hope so, obviously is difficult to estimate how long it's gonna take. it's important that investigations teams have already started. as you heard in your report, the ukrainian prosecutor's office is busy with his su, international criminal court. the said experts to ukraine as well. it's important that these teams are well coordinated, sharing resources,
10:17 am
supporting the prosecutor's office in the work they are doing an alien on that basis. the work needs to be thorough and independent, but obviously needs to move forward as fast as possible. so what are the, the problems are that investigators are confronting right now while they're collecting evidence of potential war crimes? i mean, evidently when this is happening in the midst of a war and that poses huge problems, security problems for those investigating problems of securing the evidence, allowing access for forensic experts and so on and ukrainian, although it is obviously extremely stretched and therefore they do need support from other prosecution teams and so on. other other european countries of also send teams to, to ukraine's or resorts is an important point, but also independently the vital point as well. you know,
10:18 am
ukraine is in the middle of a war and therefore sense a sense of sort of national pride and anti russian sentiment is overseas strong. nevertheless, the prosecutor's office needs to assess things through the judicial lens and make sure the trials are free and fair, which is a challenging task for them in a war situation. but it's absolutely vital for that to happen if the, the results and the verdicts are to be seen as credible in the longer term. and now we see more and more evidence of alleged war crimes in regions that russian troops have left. should we expect any investigations to take place in the area still held by the russians? i mean, it's obviously difficult for invest difficult if not impossible for investigators to go there regarding russian war crimes. nevertheless, it's possible to gather evidence human rights watch, for instance, in mary or paul. one of the main cities now seemingly under russian control has
10:19 am
been gathering evidence for weeks and weeks. they're both remotely, through assessing videos, photos that have been placed online and so on. and looking at patterns of bombing by russia, for instance, but also by interviewing people who've left maddie or poll, we've done a whole range of interviews of people in towns relatively nearby. so it's certainly possible to gather evidence, but in real time as it were and to make that available to prosecutor. so they can start building cases even for in areas which are still under russian control. she williamson there from human rights watch. thank you very much. thanks for your time . let's have a quick look now. at some of the other headlines. police in the german city of cologne, say, a man arrested in december on severe child sexual abuse. charges has been found to possess a vast amount of child abuse depictions on his computer. the new findings highlight
10:20 am
a major increase in reports of sexual violence against miners in germany last year . can somebody not? funerals have begun for the victims of the school shooting and you have all the texas where 19 children and 2 teachers were killed a week ago. a may morial gathering for a 10 year old girl was held at the funeral home across the street from the school. the tragedy has rekindled the debate of a gun control in the u. s. police in india investigating the killing of a popular punjabi wrapper. the 28 year old musician civil moves waller was shot dead while driving his car in more than india's full job state authorities sale initial investigation indicates the killing was linked to gang rivalry. shot high is ending its 2 months locked down and will soon allow shops to reopen. people at low risk areas will finally be able to leave their homes that some restrictions at public venues will still apply. and people will need to show

10:22 am
loss of their homes. a little to me, i'm not sleeping, i'm not eating because it was such a painful experience for them. so very painful. and i never before has so much rain fallen in such a short time as it did no more. i live very near you. i know all those who died and i saw everything when it happened this year. and a gesture of support president jeff burleson. arrow visited the affected areas from the air. he said they were unable to land safely, june the damage, but attended a press conference nearby. most blows them of we are all obviously saddened or when we express our sorrow to the relatives money for a similar wordpress. i also, i mean, i think our main objective is to comfort the relatives and to attend to the population with material means are to be a proposal. the government has announced an aid package to help rebuild people's
10:23 am
homes. poor neighborhoods like this one are often hit the hardest and the risk of further flooding remains very high for the people here. we had to do the middle east. now am conflict instead of corporation is usually the headline. but our next report looks at how is rarely volunteers helping palestinians from the occupied territories. good urgently needed specialist treatment in israel. bound from traveling through checkpoints in their own vehicle, some 20000 palestinian patients a year are transported by volunteer drivers from the road to recovery organization . our correspondence on your car joins one of those drivers picking up a palestinian mother and her son at the rehab checkpoint in northern israel. ah 7 am
10:24 am
a few kilometers away from duty on check point. your swell holsen's talk is late for his appointment to pick up a palestinian boy from a guy. but he was hello. he's coming with his mother. i don't want them to wait on you or sheila has met them before to day. they have made it through the check point quickly. it doesn't always school so smoothly of our overall. yeah. you're sure wants to leave the chick point as soon as possible as the security situation here can rapidly deteriorate. and saba hub warp and her son adam. it's just 2 hours to get to the hospital yet television and no, i knew it wouldn't work without him as, as a little lost a lot. there's no other way for us to get to the hospital in iraq. heaven. and this is a much safer way to get there. a man i know hoarsely,
10:25 am
and they have to go there every other week. as a baby adam had a brain tumor. there is no proper treatment for him in the west bank. that's why he and his mother have a special permit to enter israel, but they are not allowed to bring their own car with them. and there's no public transportation. so how do we can't afford to take a taxi from the check point to the hospital? he double the stem ariadne at le, especially since my son has already been in treatment for 5 years. mid adage will will accompany me. your sheila is driving them for free, just like the more than 2000 other volunteers who work for the organization road to recovery. your sheila gets to rights twice a week. tea and dates included. so gra marcia preferred, comfortable for, for, for the visual i can help from a piece by doing this. palestinian children only know israelis as soldiers and
10:26 am
police officers and mainly associate them with vala, which is also probably more. but in me, william sure the kids see in israeli, who looks after them the law during the rides they talk about their daily lives and they came, this was how sometimes usually says, this leads to friendship and the rights have changed his perception of the people on the other side of the checkpoint guide him up villa cuz of the suicide attacks. some israelis had the misconception that palestinians place no value on other people's lives. but i see mothers here who care about their children like they do everywhere. almost once at the hospital. your show us mission for the day is over. another volunteer will pick up sub pass and adam when they are finished. but soon you are sure will again be waiting at a checkpoint to pick up other palestinian children and drive them to hospitals in israel. what cindy w. news, he is a reminder of the top story we're following for you. european union leaders have
