ah ah ah, this is dw news life from berlin defending don't bass against roches onslaught. the kremlin claims it's almost in control of the ones region. ukraine says it's preventing significant advances in a close to $300.00 russian soldiers being killed in battle every day. and blocking

ukraine's brain exports with millions of tons unable to leave black seaports brushes, foreign ministers in turkey, but talks on how to vote a global hunger crisis. and former german chancellor, i'm going to mangled, says she won't apologize for how she dealt with russian liter. vladimir putin in her 1st big interview since the invasion of ukraine. she calls the war a huge tragedy plus corruption charges at the heart of global football. 7 years after that downfall the former heads of fever and you eva, go on trial of accused of fraud. ah, i've been frizzle, and welcome russia now claims to control 97 percent of luanda. that's one of the 2 waste and ukrainian provinces that make up the don bass. the kremlin has made taking the region. it's number one objective is this face of the war?

but ukraine's president loaded me, lensky says his forces are putting up a fierce defense, taking a heavy toll on russia's military, smoke in destruction across soviet road on ask the fight for the key industrial hub has emerged as a pivotal battle in the wall. russia has claimed to have taken full control of all the residential neighborhoods there, but ukrainian officials say it's outnumbered troops are fighting on ukraine's president zalinski says the russian advance has come at the cost of pauses of its troops with a business. the more than 31000 russian servicemen have already died in ukraine, the just the since february 24th. russia has been paying almost 300 lives a day or 2 before completely pointless war against ukraine. so that shut and still

the day will come when the number of losses will go beyond the permissible limit. but even for russia, the listing alert yet gave but voters to point and this for them. most of the occupying contingency already understood that they have no perspectives in ukraine lab, but the vocal and we state the smooth and corresponding interceptions of the conversations . this is the mood prevailing and the russian army, members, we are free people, missile. we are not your slaves and i was horrible. about 65 kilometers west, the city of slow vianza has been hit by heavy shelling. as russian forces continued to advance, father and the dawn by season. but many residents are refusing to leave. i am going to stay here for you. i will not leave it that my husband master. good. he works here. so we've decided to stay. it's tough,

but it's easier when one is at home. with the parents, we're going to stay now because it's too dangerous to move their shooting everywhere. but we hope all will be well for us to let these people are receiving essential aid. why clinging onto hopes of survival. i asked our correspondent in cave yon phillip sholtes, how much longer you crank and hold off the russians in the east. i don't think that the fighting will answer any time soon in the dawn bus region. it's true that most 2 sources confirm that sir. the russians have taken over most parts of the $200.00 region, but there is still intense street fighting going on, for example, in the key city of festival, annette. and we shouldn't forget that the don bus region is more than just billed once. a robbins in the neighboring donnette sco province. the russians are far away

from controlling most parts of the region and the russians are hoping that so the delivery of new weapons will help for launch effective counter attacks. so i think we will still see long and intense battles. we heard zalinski counting some 31000 dead on the russian side. can you verify that there's no way to independently verify this number. all we can do is conduct plausibility checks and compare it with other available data. the richest defense ministry said some weeks ago that they think about half of this number of russian soldiers died. but since then, intense streets are fighting has taken place. and we all know this is very risky for all sides. also, president zalinski says that up to 100 ukrainian soldiers die on a daily basis,

which also amounts to a huge number after more than 100 days of fighting. so the 31000 debt russian soldiers, this number could be a little bit of an over estimate, but it's not completely unrealistic either. okay. russia claims it's open to a land corridor. in the mean time to rush unoccupied, crimea, allowing civilians and goods to pass through the east. what more can you tell us about that? indeed, the russian defense ministry says that it has opened tracks and roads to connect russia, the don bass region, and the crimea peninsula the occupied territories since 2014. this could also help the russians deliver goods to the occupied city of maria pool, where the unitarian situation seems to be disastrous. mario paul also has a very important harbor. so this a corridor could also play an important role. for from a logistic perspective,

russia says it's ready to ship a grain supplies from maria paul. as you know, the russians have been accused of holding hostage millions of tons of rain supplies meant for the developing world. but as always, it's impossible to verify the russian information and in the past a lot of times this information also turned out to be a lie in the end. thank you very much for bringing us up to date young philip shots for us there. in the capital, keith rushes foreign minister circ a labyrinth is in turkey, to discuss how to get grain out of ukrainian ports. tens of millions of tons of stock in silos and ports, including odessa, rushes located the entire coastline since invading over 3 months ago. global grain prices have searched the united nations once of a full crisis. ukraine is a major supplier of wheat, corn and sunflower, oil,

2 main parts of the world. i hope that corresponded dorian jones about turkey's role in getting those grain shipments moving again. while turkey really is in a pivotal position, not only geographically, just over there is the boss was waterway, which is the gateway for the black sea to international markets. but on top of that, turkey has the 2nd largest navy in the black sea, and therefore will be in a very good position to us to mer secure this corridor and move ships through the black sea and on to the open market. but more importantly is turkey's diplomatic position. turkey really is the last country that has still very good relations with both russia and the ukraine. and that is seen as key to securing a deal because trust is the seen as the main obstacle for any deal to be agreed and also for it to work. and turkey is position self diplomatically to hammer out a deal that is seen that is acceptable to both sides and both sides,

or would have to trust in that ukraine would have to d mine it's harbors. russia would have to hold back. is this likely to happen? while all eyes were, will be on odessa, this is the main port still held by ukraine, and that is the main exports are hop for a grain to go into the international markets. millions and millions of tons of grain are trapped in odessa app, but it is protected by a network of minds. now to clear those minds is expected to take a long time. ukraine said it could take months and it's vanita only up to $2000000.00 tons of you could, of grain could be shipped out each month are given the fact of, of the minds. but the most important point about these minds is that they protect a desa forente from being attacked from the sea by russian forces, and getting ukraine to agree to a deal to remove those mines, to remove those offenses is seen as a major obstacle, possibly a 3rd party of a nato ships could be deploy to guarantee protection of

a death ukraine has been talking about possibly the united kingdom. united kingdom has indicated it wants to deploy ships, possibly in the black sea, but that will require russia to sign off on that deal to prevent any possible confrontation. and that's far from clear to so that is the key point of go of resolving this issue. okay, is kind of an interesting dave talk the sample correspond during jones. thank you very much for your update. you're watching the w news still to come. the community in shock after attack a storm. the catholic church in nigeria dw meet some of the survivors in her 1st major interview since leaving office last year for the german chancellor anglo miracle as described the war in ukraine as a huge tragedy. methyl defended her policy towards russia over her 16 years as chancellor. she said she doesn't blame herself for the events unfolding now, but admitted she asks herself if she could have done more to prevent the war from happening. is part of what she had to say on her role. tomatti diplomacy

isn't wrong just because it doesn't succeed. i just, i don't see a need for me to now say it was wrong and therefore, i don't need to apologize. forms of edit as like, oh michelle or neat intruding. michel christina is did oh use chief political editor? what else did the chancellor or x chancellor. all the have to say, michel was he did take us all in that theater in berlin, on a bit of a journey of the months leading up to ross's attack on ukraine and that we also learned that she was wondering what more she could have done that she felt very aware of being essentially a lame ducks chancellor in the months leading up at struggling to get the kind of european unity that would have been needed to have some kind of preventative action . some kind of preventative sanctions even. and what we did also get from her is the strongest possible condemnation of the russian aggression which sees, she said,

goes against everything that underpins this the security architecture in europe. let's take a listen to that diesel, the invasion of ukraine, which took place on february 24th has no justification whatsoever. it's a brutal attack that disregards international law and for which there is no excuse kinda the footpath in my view. what happened is not only unacceptable, but simply a big mistake on russia's part. objectively. it briggs all the rules of international law that allow us to live together in europe in peace. if we started to go through one century after another arguing which territory belongs to whom, then we would have non stop war. latoya. i'm good. that is just done. absolutely. unacceptable. got kind of a and then of course she did phase questions. well, why did she try and seek some kind of economic partnership,

a with russia and there? she said, well, if you know, despite the fact that politically she knew there was no common ground between a roster of letting me putin and herself. her aim was always to find a peaceful co habitation, whatever that means. and clearly she also stated though that she'd learned that m deterrence was effectively the only language that flooding putin really understands . did shine more light on bruton himself. i mean, she met him so many times during her time in office if she did indeed, and in fact to m a pretty much his, her entire time, almost in office. a vladimir putin was also in the kremlin. and she spoke to him many, many times. and what she did say that something really changed in the relationship . clearly something was broken after the invasion of a crimea. and let's just let her take us on that journey, that process of dialogue,

a log and the lack thereof with letting me put in. let's take a listen to that. if they are in a continuity, i see a continuous line of him crossing more and more borders and where the political discussion is now, should we have been tougher politically responding to the annexation of crimea at the time that didn't have majority support, but we also didn't do nothing, but as i said, i think this is the only language that prudent understands that has to be said. he saw that we and not just germany, but many others to no longer had the striking power of the cold war locker. and that's why i think afghanistan is so regrettable this up because he saw basically the same thing that happened to the soviet union. they were passive, of course, that probably filled him with satisfaction, not to revulsion. here misconduct hung a hood. and she also recounted a meeting of between her and letting ma putin in those early years where he said that in this has been quoted widely, that he felt that the breakup of the soviet union was the worst thing that

historically ever happened well for herself. she said that was the best thing that ever happened for herself, but also for germany. and she also made a point that 989 german reunification that followed some 600000 russian troops leaving eastern germany. she distressed that how lucky germany, how lucky europe was to be able to build that post cold war piece order. but effectively, she said that ukraine still marked that continuation of the cold war that these were now very uncertain time. so a german chancellor who won't apologize, but who did go a long way to explain her actions and her lack of actions. also the contentious nur stream to pipeline, which in her view was an attempt to build that co habitation on economic grounds. now she says ukraine is being taken hostage in what is essentially

a standoff between russia and the liberal democratic west. michelle, we also saw a more relaxed side of medical absolutely. as she did open up, she opened the answered questions also over why she trembled. and there's a famous pictures where everybody was concerned about her health for her mother had died just a so while before that, since you really opened up percy and she appeared like someone who is essentially actually having a really good time and in doing no longer having the heavy weight of responsibility that she clearly felt throughout her time in office, but still feels as former chance. and that's also why she won't simply pick up the phone to vladimir putin. she said she could pick up the phone too many, many people. but unless the german government asked her to, she wouldn't simply engage on something like that. yeah, we're really in a tricky time right now. michelle griffin for us there on medical speaking to the press. thank you. with the war and ukraine now beyond the $100.00 day mark,

opinions in germany are divided on how to deal with roger and bring an end to the fighting. done for knocking works on conflict issues for the rows of luxembourg foundation, which is tied to germany. socialists left the smallest opposition party in parliament. welcome to the show you criticized supplying ukraine with weapons. what is the best way for ukraine to defend itself? and the key question is, how do we get as quickly as possible to peace negotiations? and the question is how, which kind of pressure would move moscow as fast as possible? and i think military li, this would take months if not years before one or both sides readily ready to discuss these new positions. i think if we put really economic sanctions, economic pressure on most of that would be much faster and much more effective. and i think the sanctions we have until today in the european union, they are so weak. they are so many to polls and that's what i criticize,

i can imagine and, and this is dragging on for months and many a thing. it could turn into a protracted bull. but sanctions have failed for years in keeping russia out of others back yards for, for 8 years to be more exact, most learned in that time to live with sanction. so how would sanctions stop this will because it certainly started under an environment of sanctions. you know, what kind of sanction are we talking about? this is so weak and so many loopholes. for example. i mean, we heard about 3 months ago that the european union is now embargoed for russian co, but it's still not there. i mean, if you look into it and to the tax, i mean, it will only start in august now they decided some weeks ago and the oil embargo will not stop before the end of the year. so whatever with her since march this year to since the 24th of february and that these are this toughest and strongest sanctions ever, it's just not true. for example,

if $20000.00 multi millionaires in russia, that's the, the heart of the economy and dresser. and we could put them on the sanctions list. nothing in that direction is going to happen right now. and the most powerful, only guy, best friend of put in letting me paterny is stern out of the sanction to live. because his nickel, what he's producing for the german car industry is too important. so i think these loopholes have to be close. and then really tough sanctions. and i think if we, we are not transferring every single day, $700000000.00 to moscow, that will really, really hurt most gunner think that would present them much faster to the negotiation table than just more weapons. so you saying the sanctions aren't strong enough? like going full bowl overnight, would turn the lights off on gemini. how do you find that balancing act simply because it's, it's people's lightly with weird. well, isn't it? it won't be hearing all the time. so if we have an oil embargo that would put up

the light, but if you look at the different forecasts that we have here in germany on the economic consequences for germany, that's not as bad as it always sounds in the media. i mean the worst and really, worst case scenario is that even though we have an embargo on gas which is much more tough than, than oil. and we won't have a decline in our economy. stronger than 6 percent. that's what we had into the 2020 and was corona. so it didn't put the light out to germany. yes, it will cost, but it will only cost money while the war and your credit cost less. so i think yes, put, put some money on the table, strong tough sanctions against moscow and then have peace and your friend. you how to from john for not and thank you for being on the show today. thank you. a community in nigeria is in great following sunday's mass shooting in a catholic church. 22 people were killed. 50 injured when a group of gum and open fire and worshippers who were mocking the christian hall.
