ordinarily heavy fighting around civil denette in recent days. we heard from zelinski today that ukrainian losses are at about a 100 soldiers a day with about $4500.00 additional casualties. adams of wounded, heavily, severely wounded. so these are very, very significant losses. and right now ukraine doesn't have the heavy weapons systems and doesn't have the ammunition to, to really use them if they did have them to really go back into a kind of full count attack in those areas. and as basic now playing for time, the hope that those western spies will turn up faster than has been fit him. the european union has agreed not to sanction the head of the russian orthodox church after protests from members state, hungary. it's one of several concessions made to budapest, as the block seeks to impose a 6th rand of sanctions on russia. over the war patriarch harrell is believed to be one of the wealthiest men in russia,

that because these sanctions need to add an agreement, consensus agreement from all of the members state. so if the hungarians were going to be digging in their heels on this, this package could not go through. so am i remember listening to the lithuanian foreign minister a few weeks ago talking about being held hostage a by, by hungry. and that is that, that the feeling and the sense add that, that many member states do share that the hungarians are in the way of delaying this round of sanctions. and now of course, this looks like latest impasse are really dragging the heels of the entire block. christine wonder, reporting their countries have agreed to increase protection of the world's most remote continent. antarctica. thursday saw the conclusion of the antarctic treaty meeting here in berlin, resulting in a new pledge to preserve the fragile ecosystem, and consider limiting tourism. the summit brought together the more than 40 nations that cooperate on policy for the southern continent. during the event activists

special protection areas, one in particular, the other already 80 areas on antarctica, where human activity is severely limited and now there is a new one. it is called the wrong mouth land. and in addition, there are 3 further areas where i've been placed on to limited protection. and each of these are harm to breeding colonies of birds or a considered to have particular scientific interest. well, joe, one of the icons of antarctica is the emperor penguin, right. and height of penguins feature the summit that, well unfortunately, countries at the summit failed to place the emperor penguin, under new special protections. the emperor penguin is one of the largest type of penguin and its habitat is extremely threatened by climate change. and a majority of countries wanted to give it new protections to make sure that it's breeding grounds were secure for the future. unfortunately, there was some hold out at the summit. some countries vetoed that proposal. one small when was a decision to take steps to control tourism,

and here's why. in 201975000 people headed to antarctica, that was before the code 19 pendant. well, this year an estimated $100000.00 are expected to go there. and now there are some scientists through say, the fragile ecosystem there. it just can't handle the number of planes and ships and pollution and just general human interference that will come with that number of tourists. so at this summit here and burly in the countries agreed to create a new sustainable management strategy for tourism. now it's not quite a band or a cap on the number of tourists, but it is the 1st time that anything's been done to address tourism and it could be strengthened in the future. jo, briefly, if you could, to retentions as well, between russia western countries that are also played out in this antarctic. so, right. yes, russia is actually a singer to this treaty. it was at the event and the event started with the host country burling, reading out a denunciation of russia is that war in ukraine. and several, west diplomats walked out of meetings held by the crate, held by russia, sorry,

attended by russian diplomats. but thankfully, it didn't derail to summit. the summit did conclude with this agreement to continue peaceful cooperation and at least one part of the country of the planet. to w reporter jo told roy, very interesting stuff there. and very important, of course, while thousands of people have gathered in london for the start of 4 days of celebrations, mark in queen elizabeth's unprecedented platinum jubilee. 70 years on the throne makes hor, her britons longest reigning monarch, but amid the fuss to fit in the festivities. there were also renewed concerns about the queen's health. buckingham palace said the queen was experiencing discomfort and would not attend a national thanksgiving service scheduled for friday. ah, they were in high spirits from the thought. 2 2 and this is walt that we had to see

trooping the kula took place under sunny london sky. it's a mac the queen's platinum jubilee. ah, that was the usual pomp and circumstance. we've seen the royals arriving encourage of us has happened often a recent events. prince charles stood in for the queen, arriving on horseback for his ceremonial duties. several people were detained after breaching the security perimeter on the mile. but most were here to enjoy the party. i just think is a moment in history, whatever. have you know, you from england or from anywhere in the world. this is a history, you know, is a moment to that. i don't know when when we're going to see again i'm so she has had that is my i am broad mother, my mother,

myself and my daughter for generation. it's just an amazing achievement. lien. so much fun. the queen made the 1st of 2 appearances on the buckingham palace balcony, to welcome back the procession. following an $82.00 gun salute, crowds flock down the mall, to witness the main event. after much anticipation, it was time for the honorific fly, past celebrating has 70 years on the throne. at an iconic moment. in british history. ah dw correspondent charles, shall some pill is in london, and we asked her if the queen's platinum jubilee is more than just an extended public holiday. for most britons, she is marking 70 years on the throne that does make her the longest reigning

british monarch in history. and that means that this event, this 4 day celebration, is completely unprecedented. i think it's a sad best for me to assume that i won't see another one of these events in my life time. and i think that is the reason that so many thousands of people turned out on to the streets earlier today. they wanted to witness this moment in history, essentially seeing the royal family on the balcony, the queen crucially who's dropped out of a number of public public appearances lately. seeing her, we in fact spoke to people from around the world who've come here for this. we can specifically so a group of people from the us who addressed up in real sort of royal wedding vibes who said that they come to specifically and really looking forward to all of the pump and pageantry that to day entailed. and regardless, really, whether or not you are a fan of the monarchy, a lot of people really just reflecting on the fact that she has been the

centerpiece in britain, the 70 years. that's 14 prime ministers, 14 us presidents. a lot of people really taking the time to reflect on that. here's a reminder of the top story we're following for you. ukraine's president followed me to lansky, says russia now controls a 5th of ukrainian territory. russian forces are also edging closer to capturing the key eastern city of soviet don't ask with 80 percent of the city now under russian control. you're watching the dw news of next to is date of new business take care. so versa com have a v g t v highlights you every week in your in box subscribe. now people in trucks injured one trying to flee the city center.
