[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah, this is dw coming to you live from berlin, ukraine's president says its forces are fighting for every meter in the eastern city of seville or done that many civilians are sheltering in a besieged chemical plant,

but russia's destruction of all but one bridge out of the city means chances of leaving or dwindling. also coming up, their wheat silos are filling up, but ukraine's farmers can't move their product. d, w here is from one farmer about how the war is boiling efforts to feed the world. and a breakthrough in the u. s. on gun control group of senate, republicans and democrats put forward proposals that could break a decades stalemate in congress. but they fall short of tougher steps demanded by president by plus and poor meal one. another victory for red bulls max for stopping as ferrari's challenge goes up in smoke at the also by john brand pre ah hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. ukraine's president vladimir zalinski

says his troops are engaged in fierce fighting for every single meter of sabera on that's in the east of the country. ukraine says russia has destroyed all that one bridge out of the city, leaving few options for anyone hoping to leave severe jeanette's together with neighboring. this chunks are the last main areas in lieu hans province not already under russian control. ukrainian fighters say they're holding out, but without moral longer range weapons and even basic ammunition from the west. the tide could be turning in rushes favor, smoke rising from an industrial area in the city of sierra, the netscape, the last part still under ukrainian. control this unverified footage reportedly shows the as ought to chemical factory where hundreds of fighters and residents are said to be taking shelter. russia was trying to pound the city along with neighboring lucy chanced into submission with heavy artillery. ukraine's president

florida made zalinski says rusher is throwing everything into the battle to what the occupiers key tactical goal is not changed. they are pressing into sierra, jeanette sk. severe fighting is going on there. literally, every meter local officials say russian forces have blown up a bridge linking several done as quickly as he chanced, cutting off a crucial evacuation route for civilians. in lasy chance ukraine is scrambling to evacuate residence many day. i think it's now time to get out before it's too late . the thought a little after we had, but we have no choice but to leave. i'm sick of just sitting here. i mean look yours what i shall and killed a girl in our yard. yes, alice could decided to go away, but we do hope to come back. de la la la jim said his story of your sister. meanwhile, the west of ukraine is still seeing russian rockets to these images will reportedly

taken after a missile attack in the city of charts. keefe moscow says that destroyed a large weapon step are there, but for now, russia's focus remains lent on beth's region. and while ukrainian forces have stopped the russian advance so far, keith says it needs more help from the west and is renewed it please, for more heavy weapons. it is un conley as in central ukraine in the town of cor pivot in that ski. this is what he told me earlier about the fight for sabera dentist. well, definitely this battle for soda than that has been going on for weeks. and many times before. you've had me tricks but saying that now is the time now the last 2 days of ukrainian control of several of the nets. and then we've seen reverses, unfortunately, ukrainians taking a bit more of the town center, moving out from the kind of industrial outskirts where they've been pushed back to . but it does seem that now this is the end,

almost the end for ukrainian control on that bank of the river. and this was ukraine's last biggest outpost on the northern bank of the civically been it's river crucial defensive feature there. and with the news, the russians have blown up, as we've been hearing here in ukraine today, to bridges leaving any one connection across the river of sea, supplying those ukrainian forces on the other bank will be increasingly difficult if not impossible. and it looks like you're trained commanders might eventually now take decision to pull back, pull back to the other bank of the river, which is a high bank with kind of cliffs, which is more easily defendable and would allow ukraine basically cut its losses and to prevent even further human losses, especially situation where they're really having to weigh up every bit of artillery every bit of ammunition that they use because they're in such a weaker position compared to the russians in terms of their resources at their disposal. we've heard from ukrainian sources in last few days that basically their entire supply of pre war, soviet made ammunition is now more or less used up and all they are using now. all

they have at the disposal is either soviets, caliber themselves, that and utterly this come from eastern europe, from, from poland, from bulgaria, from other nature members, or now nato caliber weapons coming from the u. s. the u. k. and others. so basically, a very difficult situation now, where ukraine's the logistics are very, very difficult and crucial, basically to them being able to hold on to where they are right now and almost the w's nic conley, they're reporting from central ukraine. well, frank led, which is military analyst and former intelligence officer with the british army. he joined just now from oxford, england. frank ukraine says desperately needs more military hardware and not just heavy weapons, but basic supplies like ammunition, just how under equipped are the ukrainians. at this stage. they use thousands of shelves every day. it has been since the start and remains essentially an artillery bottle. and the problem they face in artillery bottles is every shell

create as a field or rex. a building doesn't actually have any tactical effect. is a shell, throw it away. so what the west is trying to do is give them precision weaponry. as he said, are running out of the old build weapons. ammunition. the thing is, of course, several weeks now and not getting enough. the amounts are getting, for example, of rocket artillery strikes, deep into the russian logistics rear. absolutely essential to stop the supply of russia. shells coming forward and strike russian artillery headquarters, the gifts and supplies at west events like insufficient that drop in the oceans. what's required to the point actually beyond that? somewhat derisory. kick in rockets out quite a bit of weaponry has been promised by the west. why is that weapon re not reaching ukraine faster? right? or some of it isn't, isn't. it hasn't even left the gifting countries yet. that those which have some of

it is locked in bottlenecks. there are supply bottlenecks in west ukraine. i understand some of it has been struck by russian rockets, rocket attack. so i don't think that's been decisive. and some of it's been eroded away, treated as it were on the battlefield, as will always happen. because clearly, since we keep telling the russians, of course what we're sending our intelligence off to say, well ok, we've got $98.00, triple 7 out just to destroy detroit, how many and 70 left. so we have to start telling what was standing. but anyway, the point is there are problems with the supply chain, but the biggest problem is that the supplies aren't even leaving western orders and sufficient quantities. now there are concerns about war fatigue among western countries, backing ukraine. do you see countries in europe and north america in particular, losing their resolve to help you crane when this war that such a such an important question was our one and last,

primarily at home. we saw that in iraq for the british americans and the others. we saw it, especially in afghanistan, more recently, the home front here in ukraine is secure. there's no question of ukraine is losing their result at that strategical political level. but if you said that the real home front is d. c, new york, berlin, paris, london, that's where the home front is and that's where the resolve needs to be for. the risk is of course, of, of the west getting bored with this, which is pathetic, but nonetheless, untrue. i'm sure i'm, but another thing, russia, information operations are hard at work trying to influence us at that strategic level. so now isn't the time for any kind of defeatism. now is the time to press on give the ukrainians what they want and show steady result. steady was all that, that strategic level to ensure that those, that, that home front remains as far as the ukrainian front because at war loss in ukraine is a war last for the west. we cannot tolerate a failed state with

a big army. and the angry population in europe, it's very, very poor for the future. it would be a disaster for us. frank, thank you very much for your analysis. that was military analyst, frank led, which there in oxford. thanks very much indeed with russia's war, heading towards its 5th month and ukraine's port still shot consumers around the world are seeing prices rocket for essentially from bread to vegetable oil. not only that, much of the most intense fighting is now focused on ukraine's agricultural heartlands in the south and east. it'll be, as an economy, visited a farmer on the front lines near michael life birdsong and tractors. and not the early sounds on india, even of his 4000 hector's artillery far in the distance, never really stops. but in a d and her team, a preoccupied with other things, like what i'm going to look at the suite,

it's under fed. it's under loved that has been but that wasn't for want of trying on the ideas, but for most of the crew slowly growing season, she couldn't even get to her fields. they were a war zone. fighting is now at least 25 kilometers away. far enough from the d an attempt to get back to feeding the world. the glare of the missiles fly over our heads towards mik, alive over there. reaching the fields catches fire really easily with all the dry strong. if you do get a direct hit, you can lose hector's to the flames in a matter of minutes. this unexploded russian missile. doug, it's where meter into the ground. to some, the ordinance of the russians left behind them. no said landmines and countless shells. they also took a lot with them from chainsaws to food, even cutlery. deer is tilting up the losses. this

crop spray the forms, pride and joy that just been bought for more than a quarter 1000000 euros was destroyed for it could be used. that's what an for the use cassette bombs, it has the insides of equipment like this to mid zealand. it's a mass. see that spray tank whittled with holes with months of field work missed and much of her machinery either destroyed or shorter diesel. tedious as this is harvest, the modest at best i like the harvest up behind these walls with is a 2021, was a recorded across the ukraine with full grain storage units. almost everywhere. much of the bumper crop hadn't even reached world markets when war broke out in late february. that's because many farmers keep their grain back until prices are highest during the winter months. and that is cases past thousands of tons. so the

1st of this is how this bali is just 10 days away from the hilton most homes here, i will barely have any way to put it. what that is, the grain used to be like gold cra, he could always salad easily. whatever you wanted. this is the 1st time ever. we can't get it off our hands again with you. grains ports already shut, but also mind lead deal with russia to reopen. not on the cards. alternatives from river barges to rail freight, a desperately being sought. but none of them come close to even matching the capacity and price of transport by sea. even when you have been found trucks now face weeks, long tail box to unload the now grain from this form of thousands like it. you know, it's a situation that the dia, struggling to pay her work, is wages. at the same time, the world desperately wait for the greens she produces, but at least she still producing it all. and when the ports of entry do reopen, they'll be

a crop to sell. in spite of mines in the soil and shells overhead seek lucas mother developments in the war. russia day ceremonies have taken place in some parts of occupied ukraine. military bands rated in sebastian, poland. crimea, which moscow annexed in 2014 and russia's national colors. ron sho, in maria pole. the fort was overrun after nearly 3 months under on barton some former mcdonald's restaurants in russia have reopened under a new name, which translates as tasty. and that's it. not all customers are happy though. protest are demanding the return of the big mack disrupted the opening ceremony in moscow. mcdonald's closed it's $850.00 russian outlets over the war. rushes invasion of ukraine prompted a major rethink of foreign and security policy by many countries as well as

a strengthened show of unity by western nations. ukraine is now seeking to join the european union as soon as possible. brussels is promising a quick decision on whether to award ukraine candidate status, but that is only the 1st step in a long and complicated process. d w's max tonda has more. blue cree may be on its way into the european union. and some leaders have promised it will take longer. it will be not as usual and much of years to form this opinion. but i think a matter of weeks if we work closely together still for he will deal with his own life. but despite the public show of solidarity, the commission president displayed here on her 1st visit to ukraine. there are if fuel legal challenges ahead. who can the to see is the 1st step. countries have to fulfill the so called copenhagen criteria, which includes having

a stable democratic government that applies the rule of law. oh, the 2nd stage are accession toss, which marks the beginning of practical preparations for you membership. so a country would usually need to undergo reform process, which includes its judiciary, the administration, its economy, and political structures. the rules add up to $35.00 chapters in total with long lists of conditions. countries are vetted accordingly by the commission on the state of their markets, agriculture, external relations and other factors. if you, negotiators find a problem like a government meddling in the appointment of judges, they can demand justice reforms which can take years. finland needed 3 years to comply. turkey started the negotiating phase back in 2005, but talks have long been deadlocked due to anchor as increasingly authoritarian tendencies and the leaderships unwillingness to reform. and in the case of ukraine,

the french president seems to have low expectations. no 7 to us. we all know perfectly well that the process allowing them to join it will take several years. in truth, probably several decades of it. they sounded pretty all this in ah, once all $35.00 chapters of requirements are satisfied and all member states have signed off on them together with the european commission and the european parliament. and accession treaty is put forward. it is then signed and ratified, and villa u r. a u member states. in the mid 2012, mostly eastern european countries, were allowed to join the block despite apparent issues with dysfunctional institutions and deep seated corruption. the understanding was that for former communist countries change was more difficult to bring about a political decision was made at ukraine today. has institutional issues as well. on top of that,

it will lead massive reconstruction efforts after the war. and it seems that at the moment, not everyone in the you is motivated to take them in nato secretary general. yes. stilton burke has said that turkey's security concerns over swedish and finish nato membership are legitimate. the 2 nordic countries applied to join the alliance last month. in light of russia's war on ukraine, but turkey's president, wrench, of time out of one has raised objections, accusing them of backing kurdish opposition groups anchor considers terrorist organizations in helsinki. the message to ankara was clear. nato is listening. welcome that we are working hard with our nato allies, turkey, turkey, and also with the scene on uncertain to address those issues thought the turkey house raced, and these are legitimate concerns. this is about to terrorism is about her weapons

exports. the finished president also stressed the talk to ongoing, but neither hinted at any progress reasons to take st techies. president ado on took his nato allies by surprise. last month when he said he would block finland and sweden's membership bids new today, accusing them of harbouring people, linked to the kurdistan workers party, the p k. k, which is listed as a terrorist organization in both countries. turkey also accused as sweden of backing the people's defense units in northern syria. anchor regards the mainly curtis militia as an offshoot of the p k. k of you not shed bites nato allies the to nordic countries, place turkey under an arm's exploit embargo after it launched an offensive against the group in 2019 adon has said that embargo is another obstacle on their road to nato memberships. silicon smother, world news stories making headlines. dia frederick krench president when

if this bipartisan plan goes through. they would do a few things, so it would provide money to states to implement red flag laws. these are that the laws that allow officials to remove guns from someone who is considered a risk. it would also include a background check expanded background check for people who are under the age of $21.00 and want to buy a gun. it would close something that is called the boyfriend loophole. that would stop. people have been convicted of domestic violence from getting a firearm. it would give money to states to address mental health response. that's something that was important to republicans because they continue to underline that it is mental health behind these shootings and not guns. and it would give money to schools to improve safety as well. so this is a limited package and the details still have to be worked out, but it is being held as an important step forward. it abuses to me. so most gander there in washington. now in motor sports, max 1st often has one the algebra, john graham, pre extending his lead on top of the formula. one standings. the red bull driver

swooped as ferrari's charlotte. clerk again failed to finish the spite starting impulse position. ah, ferrari, sharyl occur has secured all but to pull positions this season, but a pole to pole finish wasn't in the car on the streets in baku, in the very 1st turn. red bull, sergio perez overcame what color perez won the last race and looked set to possibly repeat. ferrari showed size of car trouble early and red bull took advantage. being a good teammate perez, made way for reigning champion, max fish, stopping one lat 15. and then more bad news for ferrari on lat. 21. law clerk managed to get the lead back. but with his engine clearly gone over it was game over. locklear 2nd did not finish after starting and

campaign began in june 2019. then we had the pandemic, lots of games got postponed, so everything's a bit behind. and the only way they could play these games is by playing one off games. normally they would play home and away legs to make it fair, but that just wasn't time. so they said, hey, let's play one of games in a neutral country kat i'll be in the will co post seem the obvious place to do it. now it's quite tricky on the players because i mean, we saw with ukraine against wales with a one off game just recently. ukraine with a better side, but wales ended up winning. it's also talk frustrating and peru because we've already had the world cook draw. normally we know all the teams that are going to be in a will cut before we have the draw because of the time constraints that wasn't possible . so a straight improve, know if they win this game, they go into a will cook group in november with will champions, france quite a prospect. lot of suspense. they're out there. so who do you pick to win and that day, well prove, got a bit of a political crisis home. the president has been accused of corruption,

which he denies. i think the peruvians kind of want a bit of a distraction from that for new tools. well, perhaps kit is quite famous with the red slash. it's quite collectible. but i think australia got a good chance because i've actually been cut off for quite a while. they had to play another playoff against you. a ye which they won last week, is their coach, gram arnold, explaining why you think they've got a good chance. you know, we've had 5 games overall playing in the near condition stadium in guitar. it is a completely different experience than playing in the normal stadium. and there is in different different types of things as well as when, when you go into go on to the pitch, you know, it's a fact the peru haven't experience at all. yeah, i only see as an event to us. okay. and then there's a, another game, a costa rica versus new zealand. i understand that the central americans are

gearing up for party. the are indeed the government of sent that all civil servants can have an extended lunch break on tuesday to be able to watch the game. the game will kick off in catch our round about mid day time in costa rica. so basically the whole country is going to grind to a halt. and now they're gonna watch the game as the new zealand while they're a cricket in a rugby nation. normally they have to play teams like solomon islands fiji, tahiti. they always been the most jani group, and then obviously the goes massive game, gets conser acres, a tougher museum for thanks so much will be watching mark medicine dw sports. i'm terry martin. you're watching dw news from berlin. thanks ring with
