[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah, this is dw news lie from berlin out numbered, but holding out prison. zalinski says ukrainian forces are doing everything possible to resist the russian onslaught in the key eastern city. farrah done,

that's also coming up a promise of support. on a visit to lithuania chance allah schultz valves to strengthen nato's eastern flag, made growing fears of further russian aggression and waves of grief. nigeria warns and survivors speak out after massacre at a catholic church. 22 people were killed by a group of gunmen armed with explosives, but it's still not know who is behind the attack. ah, hi, i'm layla rock. thank you so much for joining us. we start this broadcast with the fear street fighting reportedly underway and key battle ground in a key bowel ground rather in eastern ukraine. ukrainian present. voluntary zalinski says his troops are holding out in the battle for silverado nets,

despite being heavily outnumbered, russian forces are fighting for the city street by street. taking it could be key for russia sees in control of the eastern damn past region. inflicting maximum damage. that is the goal for moscow, which relieves this footage of the pallets us at walk across the ukraine's east. the destruction is evident. many of those who the mean have lost everything for yet. so i do not even know where to start for you that i am standing here and looking, but i have no idea what to do with my blood. i started crying, do i come down?

and then i cry again. and again, before is the focus now is on the city of 7, o. net, which could be key to gain control of the don bass. ukraine says its troops out numbered, but holding strong. now she's annoyed. as the youth was, our heroes are not giving up their positions in severe ordones. woolley fierce street fights continue in the city. no margaret, the russian army is trying to deploy additional forces in the danverse direction. but it's the 103rd day you and the ukrainians. understand see it stance firmly. meets the cost of that resistance has been high even as russia tendons dire consequences to more help from the west. ukraine says that for its embattled troops, more rapid could be the difference between life and death. daily correspondence,

mathias bellinger is in cave and earlier i asked him if it's clear what exactly is happening. and so there and, and ask very hard to say what's going on there. they la, it's some herb heavily fought about what we know is that the ukrainians seem to hold firmly to the industrial zone of their city, which is a little bit on the western side. and the russians seem to have dug in pretty well on the eastern side of the city. and everything that's in between is being fought about. the latest news that the russians were, again, controlling 80 percent of these residential quarters, or even the whole of these residential quarters yesterday and the day before it looked like the ukraine's had pushed them back pretty much to the east of the city . so um, well, what we can do the conclusions we can draw from that is that it spect back and forth in the center of the city, much of the city seems to be destroyed, which also makes it more difficult for her for the, for both armies to seek shelter and her holds positions and russia has sent new

troops in there. we are hearing that recruits from mother to a russian controlled separatist republics from milo. hans and donates cab arrived. and ukraine has also reinforced its troops there already. a few days ago. for bo size, i think this is a highly symbolic battle and a her and i could have be a big impact on, on, on how this was going on. now as you know, there is a growing international concern about the tons of grain that are stuck in russian controlled ukrainian ports. is there any solution in sight? it's a big amount of grain. 20000000 tons that ukraine has been stock piling in because it was an able to export them. and her, what has been so far been what, what ukraine has been able to export by other ways, way, roads and railroads is of course, much less than the ports are ships. just have the bigger capacity, but the ports are mine by the ukrainians because they're few russian attack and

blocked by the russians while out there with their black sea fleet. and that's the problem, the way out would be for both sides to agree to create a safe passage for them, which would meet ne demining by the ukrainians, or at least 30 mining some, a parts of it in front of the ports. and it would need a 3rd the russians to let the ships pass and no sight has enough confidence in the other side. the ukrainians fear that if they would d mind parts of these areas the russians would use might use this as a means of attack. and russia, of course, has also used these grain exports as leverage, economic leverage on ukraine. they asked talk, schedules about these, but it's very difficult task to resolve. and final thought from you are mathias of worrying reports coming out of the russian occupied mario ball. yeah,

we have been hearing that to the senator, a situation there is decreasing. it is a city where maybe up to 50000 people have been killed. that's the latest number given by the ukrainian or authorities of although i doubt that anybody has a very exact number. i'm and many of them had been either buried in the streets in the back yards of the or of the residential areas or just not buried or they're under the rubble. and that causes, of course, a severe concerns for drinking water. for example, we, i have also been hearing that there have been problems with a water being brought into the city. there seemed to be, have been at, by some efforts by the russians to bring water there. but that all that means that to the worries i increasing about diseases and we are hearing about a cholera outbreak that might be on its way in the city did have a correspond mathias bellinger reporting from the ukrainian capital case. thank you and german chance all of shawl says berlin is ready to boost its military mission

in lithuania, on a visit to vilnius. he also met with leaders of the other 2 baltic states, lod via and estonia, given their proximity to russia. they have been calling for increased nato support to deter and defend against any aggression from moscow. here's the german chancellor, speaking through an interpreter by being taking it part of nato. we have made a commitment to defend every centimeter of the territory of the alliance. we are going to increase our contribution by strength in strengthening the eastern flank of nato. in my story, there was the chancellor speaking earlier did of course, one of your a shadow is in vilnius and he told me why this region is so crucial for nato. ah, this eastern flag here is very important because lutheran is one of the 5 nato countries that share a land, a border with russia along with lot. it's donia coolant and norway. ah,

german goodness. the soldiers are stationed in lithuania, leading a native battle group. and in the future, and this is the most important aspect of the germans to present here in lithuania, will obviously be strengthened, possibly from the strength of a battalion to the strength of a brigade which includes up to 5000 soldiers. this promise of support by the german chancellor has that, sir? i made him nor amiable with the baltic leaders. they criticized me for not providing enough military aid to ukraine. well, here in the new st. ellsbury lithuania, solidarity with ukraine is alv everywhere lithuanian is. area is one of the most outspoken supporters of ukraine just a few days ago. the country collected almost $6000000.00 euros within a few days to buy a combat to drone for ukraine. another example is that video residents and businesses donate glass sheets to re glaze the windows of bar a yank as

a set of keys which have reportedly had been shattered by the russian bombs. ah, so the willingness to how is huge here among the people and that's why lithuanians have trouble understanding germany's hesitation towards supporting the ukranian war effort at times frustration that the german hesitation was so great in lithuania, that people protested in front of the german embassy in vilnius, but not everything is negative, gemini has an excellent reputation because of its buddhist, their presence here, which has been here now for around 5 years. and the thing is very grateful for this . did have a correspondence. you're a shadow reporting from the lithuanian capital vilnius. you're a thank you. well, as nato 6 to reinforce eastern flank, russia is also looking to shore up its diplomatic ties. foreign minister survey la ralph is due to meet with his turkish counterpart in ankara on wednesday. the trip come soon after mister lab, ralph was forced to cancel a visit to serbia after neighboring states refused to allow him to fly to their

airspace. with me here on the set is my colleague did have corresponded to emily assure when emily, we're going to talk in a minute about that upcoming visit to target by mr. law. but 1st let's talk about the nato's the eastern flank reinforcement. how's that gonna go downward? present, brewton, i've doubt that, that will elicit a positive reaction from the russian side. you have to remember that, of course, the initial true build up around ukraine started because as russia said, they didn't like nato's eastern expansion, the continued eastern expansion. they said that is a security threat, and there's this picture within russia that almost russia is this besieged fortress surrounded by enemies. that's the picture that russia continues to paint, put, and continues to paint. also, the west, the stabilizing the situation, including with continued weapons and exports to ukraine, sort of age when it comes to the military. and over the weekend, we already heard a threat in response to that from vladimir putin. he said that if the west,

if western countries like the u. s. were to deliver a long range missiles to ukraine, then that would mean that russia could strike new targets as he said. so kind of this vague threat from his sides. we could expect that kind of a thread when it comes to this of these words about eastern expansion as well. i think let's talk about mars visit plant visit by the russian foreign minister, 2 turkey, turkey of course, playing a very interesting role. let's say in this conflict, can you talk more about what we expect from this visit? i think the topic to watch tomorrow is certainly the grain exports that we already mentioned. 20000000 tons of grain are blocked in ukraine's ports at the moment. ukraine is one of is often referred to as the world's bread basket. and so that of grain that's blocked in the ports, is really worsening the global food crisis. turkey, as you mentioned, has been taking this interesting role of kind of a mediator. i'm coordinating, as they say,

with russia and ukraine. we're trying to get that grain out of those ports and there's reports as well that a turkey could be no type, kind of take part in the d, mining of the waters around those ports. or that it could also even provide an x, an escort for ukrainian ships. worldwide. of course, you know, leaders have been accusing russia of blocking grain within ukraine's ports. love of yesterday said that it's actually ukraine's of fault and ahead of the meeting tomorrow. the russian ministry of defense has said that 2 of the ports that are under russian control within ukraine are now ready for exports are operational. so it's almost seems as though russia is kind of setting up for a blame game, suave to see what comes out of the meeting tomorrow. right, right. now since the beginning of the war, you and i, we've talked many times about the abysmal situation of the media in russia and there's some encouraging news. i gather there is a since the were there's been this harsh crackdown which we talked about many times, as you mentioned,

almost all remaining critical media outlets within russia were closed down had to leave the country, journalists had to flee. several media outlets reporting from outside the country into including deutsch, vela to bbc, the dues, and so on. we're also blocked within the country. now one of those russian critical media outlets, tv, rain, known as dorsey, within the country, is actually now going to start broadcasting again. they've announced that they've received a broadcasting license within latvia. they can broadcast from thursday. the editor in chief on twitter said that they won't broadcast starting this week, but they will start soon and that they'll be broadcasting from outside of russia. so from latvia and also from studios in countries like france, holland, and georgia. so that's positive news, but of course we have a kind of almost soviet situation now where the only critical media coverage of russia is coming from outside of the country. am i, sherwin? thank you so much. and we turn our attention now to nigeria, where ways of grief are rippling through

a community after sundays mass shooting in a catholic church. 22 people were killed and 50 injured. when a group of gunmen opened fire on worshippers marking the christian holiday pentecost, no group has claimed responsibility for the killings. the attack took place in the village of 0 in the south of nigeria region which is usually spare. the violence suffered by some communities in the north and italy is eliza shakuma, is in the tragedy stricken nigerian town of alyssa, i understand that you are standing outside the hospital where many of the victims are being treated. yes, indeed, layla. i'm standing outside the emergency. we're all the gradual medical center, right in all walk, all those states, southwest nigeria where just about 5 minutes away from the church. what incident

happened on sunday? about group the people was shot that live in many one, did many dead. so yes, this is incredible. vital medical sense, i'd want to be to our medical center into town where lots of patients have been brought in here since sunday when i talk happen in a judge. now you have actually been to the church a moments ago. you've witnessed a town being traumatized. a community is shaken, how are people being supported? what are local authorities doing well, but one thing we can say is that they have been not poking up from the state government data for the federal government about on 10 down to gunman code out there on sunday in a catholic church in france. right? yeah. and they will have business on the vice president himself yesterday, right there with medical center, a couple of minutes away. i did church itself, we had the ruling pot,

the apc but not been able also come into the charts. i'm visiting patient through those, those yesterday. right. all walk so support has been coming from the federal government, some people that apparently isn't good in cash. 75000000. myra donated from one addition to the medical center and to the victim who somebody contacts sunday. so that's supposed to get to him, but in terms of police investigations that were not to get on to grew or what groups carried out to sac on sunday. so what's next now for oh, after this terror attack? well, it has to be a healing process for this town or the church it even for the medical center just it prints on figures for you. we've been speaking with some medical experts that write about 17 bodies were brought in 25 bodies in total left at the mog about

44 people are hospitalized those goals. they've had surgeries, we've had amputations, we've had lots of ations, they've had burns gunshot wounds and so many things that we witnessed. but the whole stuff from somewhere gets in justice. that's what they want. because they've also witnessed a mass right from women. lots of women at a church center this afternoon. they were really wearing and crying and they came out in the numbers. the women themselves crying out, why have this happened to them? so the pain you so much for them? what did they go from? yeah, it's a, it's a big question, not just for all one of those states. what it entire by jerry, the entire country because it seemed like no way he's safe if this can happen in the southwest of the country. did alyssa, alyssa yacoma in the tragedy stricken niger in town of always standing right at the hospital where many of the sundays attacks of victims are being treated with

a thank you for important reporting. the trial has begun today of 2 men suspected of killing the prominent dutch investigative crime journalists bader air, the cities. he was shot at close range in amsterdam last year and died 9 days later . at the time, mister de freece was working as an advisor to a witness in a major trial involving an organized crime gang. a beloved journalist in the netherlands, peter, out of re spent his life and career fighting to uncover the truth behind murders and crime stories. many of which law enforcement had given up on i stands for my principles. i think i'm just doing my work that work though set him against many of his countries, most criminal, and most corrupt. and on july, the 6th 2021 while leaving a t. v studio in central amsterdam. he was shot in the head from close range to memory, rested shortly after a nice dance,

miles in his murder. it was 9 days after he was shot that at the age of $64.00, peter, are the vries died in hospital. his murder rocked the nation, and people are looking to this trial to deliver justice. i truly hope from the bottom of my heart, that is the suppression. what it is. it was justified. and i wish to actually help so, but it is really unfortunate that this things keep happening. the assassination is widely considered to be ordered by the mockery, mafia, criminal, gang, little ready killed, the brother and the attorney, the key witness in the case against them. peter, out of reach, had been supporting that witness. and he, the be course on a jack park was in the courtroom and he described the same emotional 1st day here at the trial of the 2 men suspected and charged with the murder of peter alda vries, his family, his son and his daughter. both the dress, the court and in fight address the 2 accused directly the son royster vries told

the men that had they have looked for his father in the eye and asked him for help instead of pulling the trigger that he would have done. so now delano g is a 22 year old dutch national. he is accused of actually pulling the trigger of the shots that eventually killed the to our degrees. he has said nothing in the court room. he is neither pled guilty nor not guilty is invoked his right to remain silent as, as is the case in the netherlands. camille is a polish national, a 35 year old who resides it in the netherlands. his defense has been that he simply was a driver that he didn't believe he was going to be involved in a murder. but the prosecution service in the netherlands has thrown a ton of evidence cctv. and via my evidence that had ledges to link him to the murdered dna on the murder weapon. also videos that show him on the same street the piece rodriguez was murdered. in the days perceiving the assassination checkmark.

they're reporting for you now to some of the other stories making news around the world. germany is vice chancellor robert harbor has met with palestinian prime minister mohammed shaqia in the west bank city of among their talks focused on creating a political horizon for the future of a 2 state solution in the mid east. mister har, back also st. germany wants to help region develop renewable energy at i in authorities have seized 4.3 tons of cocaine in a large scale investigation. targeting a major, columbia drug cartel. the seas drugs have an estimated street value of some 240000000 euros. the year long operation has led to arrest warrants for 38 people and 6 different countries. and a british journalist and a brazilian indigenous affairs expert have gone missing in a remote parts of the amazon rain forest. dom phillips and bruno are aho barrera

were last seen early on sunday morning. officials say the 2 had received frequent threats from illegal fishermen and poachers. now as we all know, extreme weather events are becoming more and more common, but predicting them can help save lives. the european space agency has set up a special program using satellite data to try to forecast severe storms or drought . the technology is already helping shape responses to climate change. climate change is already hitting our planet much faster than most experts predicted. even just a few short years ago. sea level rise ocean heat, greenhouse gas concentrations, an ocean acidic vacation, said a lot of new records in 2021. the global energy system is broken and bringing us ever closer to climate capacity. it's growing more and more clear that the

consequences of climate change will be felt by all of us sooner rather than later. different parts of the world are already seeing record breaking heat waves, overwhelming floods, massive droughts that lead to devastating wild fires and the mass death of aquatic life, and fast warming, acidify and oceans. to even begin to grapple with the consequences of climate change, scientists need solid data high above the earth's atmosphere. european space agency missions are providing key information that could help us predict extreme weather events. to be very, very frank without satellites, we couldn't have information about the state of our climate. we wouldn't simply know how temperature water increase. how was he level of ice sir? would change because we have to set the information. the mission satellites have

global coverage and fly over the same regions every few days, time after time. that allows researchers to build up a picture of how much the land, sea, and air are changing, and in what ways and make predictions in both the short and the long term. the technology is growing more and more sophisticated. we have better and better improved or what is related to weather prediction, where launch in the next satellite end of the year is called empty g i. we have a lightening imager on board, which is a very sophisticated advance instrument to look at the extreme events link to hurricanes and all methodological activities. in many areas. satellite data is playing a role in our efforts to slow down the damage. humanity has already done to the environment, but that's just one goal. many experts expect the number of climate related emergencies, like hurricanes and droughts, to climb inexorably in the coming years. they can no longer be prevented, but at least the satellites will help us predict them,

which will help save lives. so the less can help now, because if you have a hairy kin arriving and you're on a plane, you know that this is happening. so satellites are healthy now, but they're also helping in the long term. why? because if you have a situation of drought, and typically it's linked to a forecast of food cropped cap abilities of food production. this is a longer run thing where you need to know the humidity of the terrain for the agriculture, and you need to support activities which are sick doria once but with the satellite . so satellites already play a key role in our efforts to adjust to climate change, powerful tools that can help us predict when the next major weather related event will strike. and football bonus like a champions byron munich, are locked in a battle of wills with robert levon dorski over his desire to leave the club after 8 years in munich during which by and won the title 8 times. the star striker is
