ah ah ah, business dw live from berlin, russia tells ukrainian fighter since have you ever been asked to surrender? but civilians will be allowed to leave using a humanitarian corridor as the battle for full control of the city rages on. and as ukraine says, it's being outgunned by russia,

nato officials meet to discuss the call for more heavy weapons, but with a response come fast enough. but key plus hot air from north africa brings of early heat wave to spain. temperatures in some places are reaching the highest. they've been at this time of year in 40 years. ah, i'm glad of as welcome to the program. russian deadline for ukrainian fighters in this eastern city of sierra the nets, to surrender as past the pro russian separatists in the region. se, if the fight has hold up in a chemical plant, there, don't lay down their weapons, they face death. meanwhile, russia says it's establishing issue, military and corridors, to actuate up to $1200.00 civilians who have been sheltering at that plant. they'll

be taken that to the russian controlled town of south toville. with all bridges leading from massive yard of the nets destroyed ukrainian troops. no risk being in circles in the city. her. earlier i spoke with d. w as nick connelly in keith and asked him if the humanitarian corridor offered by russia was the only options for civilians to leave the city. it does seem to be that way, gearhart of c very difficult to get reliable and independently verified information from civil. that's great. now the same as it was a marable. i think it's very comparable situation. and in my report, definitely, we saw lots people having to travel to russia that, that been their only option because they were busy trap between fighting and at that the fighting was kind of stuck in them. going to ukraine control territories, same here. lots people don't want to do it and are very aware that the russians will be looking very carefully at the civilians. see if they maybe have fought and

ukrainian military in the past. and filtration camps as they're known here are basically the norm. now russians looking for people, maybe they can exchange in the future for their own prisons when these people are currently civilians. so a very difficult situation there. lots people had stayed in spite repeated calls from the cranium towards to leave. people were called on to last, basically month to leave while they so could, well, there's british still in place. but lots people simply saying we are not going to go anywhere. we are not leaving our homes. and basically, you're putting substitution where now this is their only option. now, russia issued a surrender or di, automated the ukrainian troops. the deadline passed this morning. and so what can we expect now? well, what you read here in the ukraine media, what you hear from people who have been there recently is all very, very troubling stuff. a huge losses on both sides and seemingly, or another rerun of marable incense that those ukranian troops are staying put. they are not going anywhere. in the case of marable, we saw eventually

a deal was reached to allow some of those fighters out, although they are still in russian custody. and seemingly are going to be brought to trial in russia for some kind of a crimes against the civilian population is at least that's what the russians are accusing them of. so a sense that for now there's no a palatable option. know a sense for the ukrainians, but being a prison of all with the russians is in any way, are going to be fair or gonna run according to the normal laws of war so that they are going to hold out the last and that this is part of the green start, she in a situation where they are running out of ammunition where they're running out of weapons. they're trying to bind those russian forces for as long as possible to hold out, even if they themselves don't have a way out to stop the russian vaults. along other stretched to the front lines. now rushes defense ministry said destroyed a natal weapons depot in western you cry and has thus that been confirmed we don't have any conclusive mission that than the ukrainian or his don't confirm

and respond to these kind of russian announcements. but definitely those are deliveries from the west through poland to romania throw the nato countries on ukraine's borders are a prime target for russian attacks. em. how successful they've been so far we can't tell, but definitely western weapons are arriving on the front lines and we've seen the american em 777. how it's as the artillery a weapon being used to great effect by the ukrainians, and really making the difference in situation where the cranes busy running out of their soviet era weapons were even at the munitions to go with them. and, but definitely this is the situation now where people off camera when we were just in the south talking to soldiers, they're saying we have a week's ammunition left and where the next lot of our mission, where the lex load of materials coming from. we don't know, what are we going to do if we still have archery, but nothing to fire with. so vertical situation, but a sense that you can, is getting her stuff to the front lines will be it not in the quantities that they

would want to. the doctor's name comley, reporting from cuba there. thank you. ukrainian forces have managed to push back russian troops from several places in areas like boucher urban and bordered younger evidence of atrocities have been found. authorities are now investigating more than the 15000 suspected cases of war crimes throws down. it's is a town in northern ukraine that spent a month on the russian occupation did abuse rebecca orators went there and heard harrowing stories from residence, the trust in yet train station, or what's left of it for more than a month. russian troops used it as their headquarters. it was from here, alexander tells me that they carried out some of their crimes. when it was a while, they say the russians were based right there, where we're going bomb shelter. that's where we going. we made them on it's sandra,

an auto mechanic says the russians came in the night and pulled him straight out of bed. some towns, men he says, were killed on the spot. but he and a handful of others were brought down here into the station's basement. federal or to those i was sitting right in the corner. oh good. i was beaten here. who a ms wall was painted by end of the guys blood. his head was smashed with the boots of a gun and his hands were tied behind his back. he tried to get up and left a blood mox in, but though so thought he proved for groom that man survived. this video shows his body and maybe his mind were badly scarred. the fate of some fellow prisoners is unknown fury, but po coordinate with the colonel of ukrainian army was brought to you. they beat him bodily and interrogated him. they took him somewhere and he never came back with his liberal. we don't know where he is looking for him. you shall hear

what happened to alexander and his fellow captives. these alleged war crimes. they happened here under ground, where no one could hear their cries or the blows of the russian soldiers. but not all the crimes that took place in this city happened under ground. some happened right up here in broad daylight. the laws of war prohibit attacks on civilians and torture as well as attacks on hospitals who did there was a direct hit from a tank. they were positioned there and they were shooting at us, not billable, and our shifts over the hospitals. director says the russians knew what they were doing. roughly my of the early player thing. yeah. we have no explanation for this . if there was a big hospital sign, we had a big white flag with a red cross, really felt, but it would, it didn't matter to them at all. no millennia was nurturing her. doctor shifts over, says the 2 nights before the russians left trust units with the worst. the hospital

was pounded without stop. the patients and doctors were forced to take refuge under ground. we bookman adroitly wicked, don't you little? she remembers that a baby was born. the sick and wounded continued to receive treatment. many people prayed. if my subordinates speak, i think there is a god in this world. there is justice. kindness will prevail some day. we will never forgive them for this. for our tears, for the little children we carried out in our arms, these women with tears in their eyes, the grandmothers who cried hair, you have to pay for everything in this life. and they will pay to. the black doctor shifts over, says there's no way or time to extract vengeance, only time to rebuild, but the people of trust in it will never forget becker lettuce reporting. meanwhile, there are signs for a journey. just all of shows will soon head to keep for his 1st visit there since

russia talked you graham, i asked archie political editor, michele, accused them wells could be part of the visit. yes, we have seen a newspaper report in recent days, citing diplomatic sources, expecting the german chancellor french present. manuel, my call and my you to hockey, the italian prime minister to potentially go there together. i'm being so cautious because we decidedly have no confirmation from the germans. side, but also no denial and that amounts to the expectation that those 3 leaders will head to key if potentially ahead of a key meeting in brussels on friday, where a potential you accessing the status of ukraine could be decided. and a lot. 2 of ifs and buts, but in my, in my court certainly already geographically in the region, he's due to head from romania to moldova. today. now ahead of us

a potential joint visit, the french president is now calling for fresh talks between moscow and keith. let's listen him quickly, but you don't ukrainian, president officials will have to negotiate with russia. so mikaela with these 3 european leaders do go to give, is this what they will be talking about? well, i think that there certainly will be a lot of symbolism in such a potential visit at the same time or volume is the lensky is speaking on the phone a lot to french president markov it, also to german chancellor will laugh salts and all our salts for his part has been eager to stress throughout that there will be no discussions over the head of ukraine, that it will only be up to load me zalinski to determine what he will be in able

and willing to put on a potential negotiating table. let me, the lensky, the ukraine's president has throughout said he would sit down with vladimir putin, who would only want to send is foreign minister even if that bass, the status right now. one thing is pretty much common knowledge that the fighting will continue until both sides, including rushes, present value, me uprooting. feel that nothing more is to gain in the battle field, and that it's time to actually sit down and talk to w. c. that gladys, i'm sure you're lucky if not. thank you. michelle, you are cindy w still to come a controversial kiss. in the new movie about buzz lightyear has got the film land from more than a dozen countries will get more on why they've taken against one of pick sauce biggest money. but 1st, a few other stories related to the war in ukraine. european commission president,

also a funder line is in israel for talks with prime minister natalie bennett. they hoped to step up energy corporation from the line said russia is black mailing europe over energy and the continent urgently needs alternative suppliers. israel is exploring several ways to transport gas will be the 2 europe ways where you and russia has banned 29, british journalists and 20 people leads to the u. k. defense industry from entering the country. moscow says the step is a response to what it calls bias reporting on the war and ukraine, and fueling rus, a phobia. in british nato defense ministers in counterparts from around the world are meeting in brussels to discuss military aids to ukraine. keith, urgently calling for more heavy weapons and ammunition as its stocks are dwindling . but there are growing risks between nato allies over the pace and scale of

military aid countries closest to russia and the fighting, urging faster and more aggressive support. while those farther away and feeling greater economic fall out according formal considered approach. but nato chief against said that he expects alliance members will give you crane support. it needs are committed to continue providing the military recruitment that ukraine needs to prevail, including heavy weapons and long range systems. i expect that the summit nato allies will agree, a comprehensive assistant package for your cream, helping ukraine for a longer term to, to, to transition from summit era equipment to more than natal equipment installed, max big. and then let's go now to d. w, correspond jack paris in brussels. jack, why is it so important from a to,

to help you crane transition from soviet era? arms to west, the ones were frankly, garrett, it's about the length and the duration that this walk had lost. because while the ukrainian military on the front line is having to continue to fight this war with, obviously many soviets as star weapons because of being a soviet at the post soviet country. if nato allies are going to continue to support the ukrainians with weaponry, they're going to need to be able to use to be able to deliver them. weapons that can continue to be used with the ammunition, for instance, that they're sending. what you're talking berg said in that press conference is that they need the more modern nato standard equipment and it needs to be interoperable with nato military allies. and that's, that's obviously important. he said, as we heard that he's like the nato leaders that are meeting in madrid at the end of this month. all going, they're going to be expected,

at least when i some kind of package to support this transition. now you kind of says it needs more heavy weapons and ammunition and it needs them faster. what nato defense ministers doing to expedite this yet, it was put 10000 bugs that the ukrainian campaign, frankly, that only 10 percent of the weapons that the ukrainian government has asked for from the 2 allies have been delivered. that was actually a direct criticism as well by the, by the ukrainian president brought him, is a lensky not shown by didn't directly address thought, but he did say that allies are going to try and get ukraine all that they need. he said that the focus was setting up these weapons and making this switch to the nato style weapons and away from those from the, from the soviet style weapons. i think this is actually going to be something, this is the point in this meeting. the defense ministers, the meeting here in brussels, will start to discuss how they can do that,

how they can coordinate it. and also that will be a lot of pressure to not just supply the sort of the helmets, etc. and the light weaponry that they've, the been given, but also to, to increase that haven't heavy weaponry that, that key, it says it really needs. now jack, what about the applications of finland and sweden to nato membership? does the threat of a veto by turkey is still high all the joining nato? yeah, it really doesn't. this could really derail the summit. this is the big concern nato's leaders when they get together in madrid, at the end of the month, i was talking, but i said, there's no way to tell you when we will solve this turkish blog. but he is confident the both will become members that are ready to take actions. he says and will work closely to resolve the question is, what can finland and sweden due to kate, the turkish concerns which are actually more related to the relationship with that

. with that nato, that the fellow nato ally, i like greece. i mean, i think most people would consider that fit in the suite in a relatively quickly ready to become later members according to values and to do and also according to the interoperability with other nato members. this is a political concern, and all eyes will be on those relationships, you know, with anchor with, with president ad one when, when the leaders get to that meeting in madrid at the end of the month, if you want jack back then brussels. thank you. john. spain is facing unusually hot temperatures for june, with the mercury rising well over 40 degrees celsius. in some places, authorities are wanting of a risk of wildfires. scientists say climate change is making heat waves more frequent and more intense the last time it got this hot. this early in the year in spain was in 1981 here in madrid. in the mid day heat temps are

soaring. and those who are out and looking for ways to stay cool. some are soaking up the full force of the heat wave, but spain's national weather agency warns conditions could feel even more extreme with sand and dust from the sahara desert being carried north into europe. a spokesperson for the weather agency says heat waves have become 5 times more frequent in the 21st century. lower lakila the on the to does. i'm doing fine. i've come here with my friends calona, but he's good for you. it provides with him indeed. so i'm happy while some are pleased with the high temperatures, not everyone can escape the sweltering heat. was a sudden it's difficult dealing with the heat in madrid, a little muddy. there's not much shade and a lot of asphalt here. it's hard and we don't have air conditioning at home grammar,

not animals. i don't even know further south and severe. the situation is even worse. with temps, easily breeching 40 degrees celsius. the heat hitting higher and earlier than it has here in more than 6 decades. meteorologists attribute the high temps to a mass of cloud of hot air. moving through europe from northern africa, forecasters say the heat wave is due to hit france next. tom now to have a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. the british government says it's preparing for a new deportation fly to rwanda. the inaugural trip was cancelled following a last minute ruling from the european court of human rights. the decision is regarded as a setback for the policy of sending asylum seekers from the u. k. to the central african nation,

it's unlikely to open in china to of the disney refused to cut a scene that shows to women sharing a kiss. was what your mission long started. 39 of the world's most famous toy astronaut is back buzz lightyear is a go who are you talk to? no one you were narrating again. i was not, but the buzz is all about his sidekick alisha. his palin partner, who seen in the film kissing her girlfriend. that's why more and more countries are refusing to show to fill them out. but the studio and it stars stand by the lesbian romance, including actor chris evans, the voice of bud light. you. it's great that we are a martin, something that is making steps forward in the social inclusion capacity, but it's, it's frustrating that there's still places that that aren't where they should be his pride line. but it, i feel feel proud for the rest of my life. we don't have to think, oh wow, weird. it is not weird is normal and it should be normalized. why don't they answer?

plate your is a prequel to pixar, is toy story. it's about time travel and friendship with same sex romance playing a small part. but one that pixar parent company disney says, is not negotiable, 7 months. why i know that we've done requests for things to quite, i'm dizzy, isn't going to modify the material. we're not gonna cut out anything, especially something as important as the loving and inspiration relationship that shows buys what he's missing range use. and that means this time viewers in several countries will be missing, buys to infinity, and beyond who you are clear, tribal on equal people. people looks like fun. david levis, who filed that report, had joins in the studio now, just very briefly, we didn't see the case in your report either. we didn't see because it's not actually in the promotional material,

you will have to see the movie to see. because if you can, if it's being shown in your country, highly recommended. so like you, the film has been banned in more than a dozen countries now, including in china with is that not clear, huge market, a huge market. it's not actually clear in china yet, although disney assumes at this point that it will not be shown in china. and this is really possibly a big turning point for disney, which until now has been very happily just sort of quietly self censor in order to access the chinese market. other markets as well. and they're not the only studio in hollywood by the way that does that. but this time is different. disney picks are, is refusing to take out this lesbian case. it's really taking a stand here. and actually this comes after a lot of pressure from within the company picks our employees, penned a letter to the boss is saying that they were sick and tired of having things that same sex relationships erased from their films. so is that side of things to come? are we going to see more same sex relationships in and disney films?

well, i think we are going through anyway just because that's, that's the way things are going. but at the same time, what we're seeing here is that disney really is taking a stand and this is a company that has always been seen pretty much as gay, friendly. but that, of course also wanted to cater to markets and to people who weren't gay friendly, they wanted to sell to everyone. and now what's happening though is that l g b t q plus representation is such a hot topic. it's it's so polarizing right now in the united states that they're having to take a stand and we're seeing this with disney coming under pressure to criticize. and then criticizing the florida governor, ron de santis for his so called don't say gay legislation, and they're really taking a stand. now the question is, will this continue or, or, you know, will they back pedal at some point when they want to sell to saudi arabia and china? now, the lesbian kiss in this film, i understand, is very brief. it's no way this relationship is the center of the center of the

movie is a really, is, is a side aspect is if disney is to make a point about l g b q writes, why do it this way? well, i think some activists, of course, would say the job is not going to be done until the prince and princess, the main characters in the disney movie have their day web stories. i think though that this kind of very subtle representation to is very powerful and it doesn't matter which side you're on. if you're on the same side, i'm on where you say this is, this is good. and this is important or you're on the side that says, this is brainwashing children. what it does is it tells them that this is normal. this is not, this is not a big drama. this is because the film is not, it's not a drama about being date. it's just a normal part of a normal characters life and that's, that's the message. and it reads always. they levitz their d w culture. thank you. did it. before we go, here's a quick look at our top story. at this hour, russia,

russia has told ukrainian fighters holding on to the chemical plant in the city of seattle to the next to surrender. it also says it's establishing a human human italian corridor to evacuate an estimated $500.00 civilians who in sheltering at the assault plant, you're watching d. w. news a from but it does it from me a day with on the news seem up next. the new alan seeks to beat the aviation industry crisis and said, all weekly business show made in the job, don't add office. i have an update for you at the top of the r ah, with
